Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da played chess, and halfway down the chessboard, two words suddenly appeared, and Zhu Yuanzhang was amazed
Zhu Yuanzhang was one of the few peasant emperors in Chinese history, and he was able to transform him from a peasant to an emperor, thanks to the fact that he had a group of brothers around him who were willing to fight for him. Zhu Yuanzhang climbed to the throne on the shoulders of two waves of people, one was a group of military generals led by Xu Da and Tang He, this group of people cleared the obstacles for him, and the other wave of strategists led by Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen planned the country for him.
However, the final outcome of these two waves of people is not good, Zhu Yuanzhang is very suspicious, he has not managed to get all this, naturally he must firmly guard the Jiangshan he has laid, and let it be passed on in the hands of his descendants. So in order to consolidate the imperial rule, in order to eliminate all those who threatened the imperial power, he attacked the founding generals of the Ming Dynasty, and many of the brothers who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world died at his hands.
In 1322, Xu Da was born in Fengyang, Anhui, he and Zhu Yuanzhang were friends in their youth, zhu Yuanzhang, who had been following him from the countryside to the imperial city, was the most courageous and loyal warrior under Zhu Yuanzhang, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da pressed the group of ministers to be named the Duke of Wei, was the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and was worshiped by Zhu Yuanzhang as the right minister of Zhongshu Province, ranking first among the group of ministers. From Zhu Yuanzhang's unsparing division of Xu Da, it can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang was very relieved about Xu Da, and the fact is that Xu Da was the most courageous military general around Zhu Yuanzhang, even though Zhu Yuanzhang later killed many founding heroes, Xu Da was still loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang and did not have the slightest reaction.
But Zhu Yuanzhang did not think so, in the later period, although Xu Da was loyal to himself, Zhu Yuanzhang still thought that Xu Da was a threat to himself, Xu Da was outstanding in battle, ranking first in the whole army, Xu Da personally led a large army to attack The Capital of Yuan, and many military generals in the army were Xu Da's protégés, so Zhu Yuanzhang always wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of Xu Da and create many opportunities to kill Xu Da.
But Xu Da has been very careful in doing things since he became a subject, he knows the truth that there is no cold in the high places, according to the etiquette system, after Xu Da becomes a minister, he can go out to have his own honor guard, but Xu Da takes the simplest carriage every time he goes out, and does not set up an honor guard. Zhu Yuanzhang once wanted to give Xu Da the palace where he lived when he was called king, and let Xu Da move in, but Xu Da resolutely disagreed, although Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang were intimate, but that mansion was where Zhu Yuanzhang lived when he was king, and Xu Da's living in it would definitely arouse Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicions.
Once Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang were drinking in the palace, the two talked very happily, Xu Da was drunk, he stayed in the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang let Xu Da send Xu Da to his bed to sleep, Xu Da was drunk and confused, and fell asleep under the quilt covered by Zhu Yuanzhang. When Xu Da woke up, he found himself asleep on Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon bed, and he was still covered with the emperor's royal quilt, and he was terrified and immediately asked Zhu Yuanzhang for his guilt, and Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with Xu Da's reaction.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da also have a story of "winning the chess building", Zhu Yuanzhang said that the empress dowager likes to play Go very much, but his Go has always been very smelly, Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, Xu Da and other people's Go is very powerful, but they do not like to play chess with Zhu Yuanzhang, and the emperor can not win, where is the face of the emperor who won? But Zhu Yuanzhang did not let them let themselves, let them exert their full strength, and made them very embarrassed.
Once, Zhu Yuanzhang invited Xu Da to play chess, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Xu Da before playing chess, can not let themselves, to use full strength, so this game of chess for a long time did not distinguish between victory and defeat, and then there are a few flags about to end, Xu Da suddenly stopped playing, let Zhu Yuanzhang look at the chess game on the chessboard, Zhu Yuanzhang looked up, found Xu Da on the chessboard with the chess pieces "long live" two words, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not know about it, it can be seen that Xu Da deliberately let himself.
