Hongwu was the king of Qin for three years (1370). Hongwu lived in Xi 'an for eleven years (1378). Hongwu twenty-two years (1389), was ordered by the imperial clan.

He was persuaded by the Crown Prince Zhu Biao and released to the vassal state the following year.

Princess Qin Zheng was a Guanyin slave and the younger sister of Wang Baobao, the king of Henan Province in the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhu Shang's evil deeds

1. In the fief, the soldiers and civilians were ordered to buy gold and silver for many years. The soldiers and civilians were so embarrassed that they sold their children. However, Zhu Shang ordered a fistfight with 300 people who came to Wang Fu for mercy, killing an old man on the spot and arresting nearly 100 people.

2. Zhu Shang is building a large-scale project, wooing the military and civilians to build pavilions and ponds in the palace for fun, and torturing the imperial secretary with the second princess Deng's family for fun. Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded him as "ignorant and stupid as an animal".

3. Zhu Shang dotes on the second princess, Deng Shi, and puts the real princess king under house arrest elsewhere. Every day, she just gives her some stale food and fruit in broken utensils. In order to please Deng, she specially sent the Chief Secretary to buy Zhu Cui, which ruined the people's homes.

The palace often abuses lynching, cutting off the tongue of the imperial secretary, burying the imperial secretary in the snow to freeze to death, tying him to a tree to starve to death and burning him to death. According to the law, criminals in the palace of Qin State should be sent to the capital for punishment. However, Zhu Shang was afraid that when these people arrived in Nanjing, they would expose the fact that they had run amok in the countryside and even kill them all.
