If you have doubts about your subordinates and want to test them, what kind of approach will you take? Beauty meter? Anti-intermeter? Or a bitter meat meter? In fact, it is not so complicated, Zhu Yuanzhang used the simplest method - pouring wine.
So who does he not believe? In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang did not believe anyone, especially after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he was full of doubts about the old brothers in Huaixi who started with him. But what he is most suspicious of is the general Xu Da, Xu Da is known as the first founding hero of Daming, it can be said that without Xu Da, there would be no Daming's Jiangshan Sheji. For such a great general who has achieved great feats, Zhu Yuanzhang always thinks about how to test him.
Opportunities are always easy to catch, these generals are all drunkards, so Zhu Yuanzhang has nothing to call Xu Da into the palace, nominally chatting with his brothers, drinking, and talking about confidants. But in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had other ideas, he wanted to get Xu Da drunk, and then put him on his dragon bed, and then see how Xu Da reacted.
If Xu Da sleeps peacefully and sleeps particularly soundly, then I'm sorry, this person is a person who must have different hearts. If Xu Da wakes up drunk and finds that he is sleeping in the wrong place, he immediately rolls out of bed and prostrates his head like pounding garlic, then it proves that this person has himself in his heart and has no antipathy.
In fact, this is zhu Yuanzhang's own thoughts, how can a person find out through such a small thing? A few years later, his son Zhu Di, the King of Yan, endured for decades in the north, showing no sign of remorse, but at the last moment raised a butcher knife to his nephew.
But Zhu Yuanzhang is the Son of Heaven, and his logic is the truth, and everyone must take him as the axis. In fact, although Xu Da was a soldier, he was not stupid, and from the moment Zhu Yuanzhang called him into the palace to drink, he guessed that Zhu Yuanzhang might be trying to test him. What to do?
Definitely can't say broken, say broken immediately head move, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't care how much credit you have in the past. Then it can only be pretended, so Xu Da pretends to be drunk, but has been looking for an opportunity to escape.
When someone helped the drunken Xu Da to the dragon bed, he had been waiting for an opportunity, what opportunity? He wanted Zhu Yuanzhang to see his performance. Finally, a servant reported his situation to Zhu Yuanzhang, who came to check on it, and just when he reached the edge of the dragon bed, Xu Da rolled over at the right time, rolled onto the bed, and pretended to find himself sleeping on the dragon bed.
So he used both hands and feet together, crawled in front of Zhu Yuanzhang like a dog, prostrated his head like a garlic, and admitted his mistake. Everything was expected by Zhu Yuanzhang, who felt that his move was simply perfect and tried out a great loyalist. And Xu Da, who was learning to climb with his hands and feet, wiped the sweat on his forehead and lamented that he was a human being two times before the ghost door was closed.
It's just that Xu Da can hide from the first day, he can't hide from the fifteenth, he is too much credit after all, Zhu Yuanzhang absolutely cannot tolerate the existence of such a person. After Xu Da escaped round after round of massacres against famous generals during the Hongwu years, he was finally killed by a bowl of steamed geese.
Xu Da recuperated from illness, and Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to express his concern, sent a steamed goose and watched Xu Da eat it. This time Xu Da had no way to escape the test, Zhu Yuanzhang left satisfied, and Xu Da died of a cracked wound. Unfortunately, Xu Da encountered not Zhao Kuangyin, but Zhu Yuanzhang, which doomed him to a tragic fate.
