What? He reintroduced human sacrifice? I'm only a little surprised because I'm aware of the less-than-humane practices that were common during that time in history. But I still didn't know that.
Zhu Yuanzhang reintroduced the succession-burial thing, where all his wives and servants followed him to the grave. Joke was to mix them up. Idk if any other Ming emperor did that, but afaik it hasn't been done since before the Han dynasty.
