洪武帝敬封牡丹神女娲吃人的照片让人心惊胆战
元朝末年，国运衰败，污吏当道，豪强恶霸横行。同时水旱灾害频仍，广大农民流离失所。后来，各地穷苦人忍无可忍，终于爆发了反抗元朝的大起义。他们提出“杀尽不平方太平”的口号，攻城占地、开仓济贫，响应者风起云涌。在诸多起义军中，朱元璋独树一帜，他广纳贤士、谨听良言、怜惜百姓，最终深得民心，并发展成一支足以抗衡元朝的势力。
至正二十八年（1368）正月，朱元璋在应天府即皇帝位，以国号明称洪武，是为太祖高皇帝。他采纳军师刘伯温之策，以四面开花、各个击破、重兵北上取大都之术，将大将徐达和副将常遇春率大军北征。
徐达和常遇春自跟朱元璋起兵以来东征西杀南征北战破州取府杀陈友谅擒张士诚立下赫赫战功可谓战术高超谋略深广。此二将受命北征三月克汴梁随后势如破竹，一路北上五日取相州七日取广平八日取顺德最后兵至柏乡县徐常竟屯兵不战了。
原来他二将不仅兵法熟稔且精通史书《史记·封禅》记载春秋时齐桓公欲行封禅管仲曾谏曰古之封禅必有固城店上之黍 北里之禾又见《后汉书》光武帝本记载淮阳王更始三年六月光武命有司设坛于 南千秋亭五成陌六月己未即皇帝位他们带兵一进柏乡就听闻民间传言此县境内有北郝牡丹奇花乃汉时光武刘秀走国护主之神迹因此徐常二将心下颇犯踌躇。一则倘若兵戈相见战火兴起必然殃及百姓；二则祸及古云 地之黍；三则毁坏光武发迹之圣地；四则蹂躏护主神花。如果因此而伤了百姓的心得不到百姓的支持那怎么夺取天下？到时候太祖皇帝封禅不得 之黍粟那怎么行？毁古帝之发迹民心如何收服？再伤护主神花神灵还肯庇佑？
凡此种种虑二将思之一再决定宁可迟延兵伐速度不可贸然出兵遂派人去柏乡城商议和平策。
却说时任柏乡县令的刘世英为人耿正廉洁爱民如子政声颇佳深得军民爱戴闻知大明军到军民俱听命于刘公令。刘公虽心知元朝大势已去但既受命于元死抱忠臣不侍二主念指挥军民紧闭城门加紧备战。大明使刚入城赵总兵就要祭旗立誓激励军民与其决一死战。不想却被刘公制止了，说：“两军交战，不斩来使且听他怎么说！”
明使施礼已毕说道：“徐常二将深知刘公名故如今兵临城下不敢妄战又听得柏乡 地粟乃古封禅圣物 南乃是光武中兴地且北郝又有护主神花一旦交战势必祸及刘公 民殃及圣地神花但除暴救万民族皆我主诏谕天下万 民期盼 刘公境岂可偏隅一域？”
故请刘公计万全策！ Liu 公听明使说得如此客气 心下越发为难忙命人把明使请到客房好生款待请他等候商议结果随后 刘 公召集守 城总 军千户 听大家如何说众人异口同声：“大人爱民如子我等誓死相随大人 为皇 上尽忠我等 为 大 人尽义凡事请大人定夺！”
Liu 公看众人说的诚恳更加不忍动 武伤 民 思前想 后 仍想 不 出一个 万全 之 策。这 时 属 下 匆忙上报 说 城 北 北 郝 村 的 里 正 领 乡 民 来 见。Liu 公忙请入衙 只 见 里 正 领 着 几 个 苍 发 白 毛 年 追 古 稀 的 乡 民 蹉跚跄跄 走 上 堂 来 齐 齐 跪 倒 禀 道： “ 大 老 爷 啦 今 儿 我 村 汉 牡 丹 突 现 奇 瑞 競 相 开 花 来 因 此 事甚 是 奇 异 故 而 不 敢 不 报！”
什么？你们说什么？
Liu 公聽了也覺驚讶赶紧上前携起鄉민讓其入座細說。
鄉民報道：“老爷，大老爷，这件事您不知道啊，我村漢牡丹，每年的谷雨前後開花，但從未錯節氣而開，這您知道的奇的是現今已是七月，加之闰月，都近白露時節，却突然競相開起來當真奇異。”
“唉！” Liu 公聽罷叹息了一聲，“North Hao's peach blossoms since the time of Emperor Wu have been granted by the emperor, and for over a thousand years, no matter which dynasty or era, emperors have competed to grant them. Today, Ming troops arrive and the peach blossoms suddenly bloom. Is it not a sign that Ming will be established as the nation?”
眾人的声音接連附加上了：
"God's flowers bloom unexpectedly; there must be an unexpected event! This is a saying passed down through history!"
"Very well! Destiny cannot be disobeyed; loyal officials must remain loyal!" Liu Publicly expressed his decision in front of everyone: "The divine flower blooms; therefore we should not rashly engage in battle with Ming troops. If we do so, innocent people will suffer. We must carefully consider our strategy."
As he spoke, he reached out to take the poison from his sleeve.
Zhang Gong stepped forward and grabbed hold of him just as he was about to drink it:
"You are like a father to us citizens," Zhang Gong said sincerely.
"We are sworn brothers who would die for you," said another officer.
"You are our commander-in-chief," said yet another officer.
"It is I who am responsible for your safety," Zhang Gong added solemnly.
In this way, they managed to dissuade Liu Public from drinking the poison. As they did so,
Xu Da and Chang Yong arrived at Berkhoff Castle with their armies in tow.
Xu Da called on Liang Guo (the leader of Berkhoff) to surrender peacefully,
and Liang Guo agreed after being persuaded by Xu Da's words:
"I trust that Your Majesty will show mercy towards my people."
And thus,
the city gates were opened wide,
and Xu Da entered along with his men without incident;
they held ceremonies in honor of General Chang Yong's victory;
and then continued their campaign northward against Beijing;
which led eventually to its capture by Ming forces under Xu Da on July 20th;
followed closely by Zhu Yuanzhang receiving formal recognition as Emperor Taizu Gaozu on August 1st
this marks the end of this tale
