After Geng Bingwen returned to Nanjing, he was stripped of all his posts without even seeing the emperor, leaving only the title of Marquis of Changxing idle at home.
If he hadn't been one of the two remaining founding generals of the Hongwu Dynasty and was listed as a first-class hero by Zhu Yuanzhang, and his son also married Princess Jiangdu, the daughter of the former crown prince Zhu Biao, he might not even be able to keep the title of Marquis of Changxing.
Emperor Jianwen suspected that Geng Bingwen was secretly colluding with his uncle, and put this veteran general in a high cabinet without even seeing him, which was very different from when he personally sent him to the expedition. The people around the emperor naturally knew what was going on. Led by Huang Zicheng, Zeng Fengshao and others, they began to criticize Geng Bingwen. They even referred to trivial matters and made up their minds. Even if they could not really send Geng Bingwen to see Emperor Hongwu, they would Make it impossible for him to stand up completely.
Everyone in the world knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. For a time, the Changxing Marquis Mansion was crowded, and no relatives came to visit in the autumn wind.
Geng Bingwen has experienced strong winds and waves. He has withstood the waves of the Hongwu Dynasty that killed heroes, so why should he be afraid of the harshness of the world? He corrected his mentality, closed the door of his house, drank tea, planted flowers, and weeded all day long, which greatly disappointed all the people who were waiting for a good show.
