Qitai 1
Qi Tai, the minister of the Ministry of War in the Ming Dynasty, advocated reducing the number of vassals and believed that centralization should be strengthened by reducing the power of vassals. His idea was approved by Zhu Yunwen, but met with opposition in the process of implementation, especially by the prince. The Prince of Yan launched the battle of Jingnan in the name of Jun Qing, and finally invaded Nanjing. Qi Tai was demoted to Shu Ren, and it ended badly.

Huang Zicheng was a great scholar in Ming Dynasty and an active supporter of vassal reduction.

Characters experience, Fang Xiaoru.
Fang Xiaoru was a writer, thinker and politician in the early Ming Dynasty, and was known as "the seed of reading in the world". He was born in Ninghai, Zhejiang. He was smart and studious since childhood and studied in many schools. During Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, he was recruited as an official because of his outstanding literary talent and was edited by the Hanlin Academy.
Fang Xiaoru advocated ruling the country by virtue in politics, and believed that the monarch should educate the people by virtue, not by power and punishment. His idea was recognized by many people at that time, and was also valued by Zhu Yunwen. In the battle of Jingnan, he supported Zhu Yunwen's decision to separate the vassals, but failed because of strategic mistakes.
Fang Xiaoru was arrested after Judy invaded Nanjing. Because he refused to draft the memorial for Judy, Judy executed him, destroying ten families and implicating 873 people including his family, friends and students. Fang Xiaoru's fate can be said to be very tragic. His bones are gone, and only bloody clothes are buried at the west foot of Yuhuatai outside Jubao Gate.
