Although Zhu Yuanzhang was a murderous man all his life and many old heroes were killed by him, he killed his son-in-law Lun Ouyang in a rage. To be fair, it's not his fault, but because Lun Ouyang committed a capital crime.

First, Lun Ou Yang's life profile

Lun Ouyang, born in 1359, died in 1397, aged 38. Lun Ou Yang's native place is not recorded in the history books. However, his literary talent is very good, and he was a scholar in high school during Hongwu period. Moreover, this person is probably good-looking, otherwise there are so many new Jinshi every year, why did Zhu Yuanzhang single-handedly pick him as a son-in-law?

In December of the fourteenth year of Hongwu, Lun Ouyang married Princess Anqing, the daughter of Zhu Yuanzhang, and was also made a captain. Princess Anqing was born to Zhu Yuanzhang's wife Ma Huanghou and the half-sister of Prince Zhu Biao. Thus, the future of Lun Ou Yang is very bright. As long as he is serious about being an official, it is essential for senior officials to be rich.

Second, the death of Lun Ouyang

From the early Ming Dynasty to the fourteen years before the establishment of orthodoxy, the tea trade has been run by the government, and the official collection, transportation and market are all under the control of the state. The reason why the Ming Dynasty attached so much importance to tea trade was determined by the internal and external environment at that time. The Central Plains does not produce good horses, but it is rich in tea. Nomadic tribes in the northwest and north are not short of horses, but there is a great demand for tea in their daily diet.

In this context, the Ming Dynasty took advantage of the trend and regarded tea as a valuable strategic material, thus better controlling the price and export quantity of tea trade and making tea trade a diplomatic means and a national policy. However, some bold people have taken a fancy to the huge profits of private tea trafficking and have repeatedly taken great risks in trafficking private tea.

Lun Ouyang became a relative in the family. He has a bright future and is destined to lead a brilliant life. However, he was insatiable and took the opportunity to collect money. Relying on his husband's status, he decided that no one dared to lay a finger on him, "sending envoys to Sichuan and Shaanxi" and "sending several tea smugglers out of the country", making thousands of illegal profits. The French open is long and sparse, but it does not leak. After the incident, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and executed Lun Ouyang.

It can be seen that the death of Lun Ouyang was entirely Zhu Yuanzhang's own fault, and he didn't kill him at all.
