When we think of ancient emperors, we may think of having supreme power, that no one can oppose its orders, and that we can do whatever we want, but these are just our own thoughts.
During Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, he was well aware of the suffering of the people, so he ordered tax relief for the people; he knew that it was very difficult for the people to develop the economy after experiencing the war, so he ordered the appropriation of funds for the suffering people. Through Zhu Yuanzhang's series of moves, the country slowly regained its original vitality.
In his later years, in order to leave a stable political situation for his son, Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate to kill his brother who fought with him. It can be said that that period was the darkest period of the Ming Dynasty, and the civil and military officials at that time were very afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang.
It can be said that in that period, Zhu Yuanzhang had become brutal. Of course, after a series of operations by Zhu Yuanzhang, there were no more people available in the imperial court, so when foreign enemies attacked the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty did not command the troops.
Once Zhu Yuanzhang invited Xu Da to the palace to drink and narrate, on the surface it was two people drinking, but in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Xu Da, of course, Xu Da also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill himself. Therefore, Xu Da reminded himself that he should be careful of what Zhu Yuanzhang said and did, and he could not drink more alcohol at the wine table, otherwise he would lose his life if he was not careful.
After Xu Da saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he gave Zhu Yuanzhang a big gift according to the etiquette, and Zhu Yuanzhang said to Xu Da: "We two brothers, don't talk about those etiquette when we meet" After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang let Xu Da sit down and began to toast Xu Da.
At first, Xu Da was reluctant to drink the wine that Zhu Yuanzhang had given him, and Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly unhappy, and said to Xu Da: "I heard that your family has a lot of fine wine, and you also like to drink, how come you can't drink when you come to my place, is it that my family's wine is not as good as your family's wine?" "
Xu Da quickly explained, "It's not because the emperor said it's because I'm a little uncomfortable today, so I can't drink alcohol." "
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a straight face: "Brothers rarely drink once, let's drink today!" When Xu Da heard Zhu Yuanzhang say this to himself, his heart was instantly full of emotion, thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang had not forgotten the brotherhood of that year, and today he might just want to talk to him and relieve his boredom. So Xu Da didn't care so much and began to drink with Zhu Yuanzhang.
Not long after, Xu Da was drunk, and Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy to see Xu Da drunk, so Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to take the opportunity to make Xu Da a crime and put him in prison. But what Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know was that Xu Da, in the process of drinking with him, felt that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill himself, so he deliberately pretended to be drunk.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang ordered his subordinates to carry Xu Da to his dragon bed, we know that the dragon bed is a symbol of the emperor's status, even if the relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang is good, it should not lie on the dragon bed to rest.
Zhu Yuanzhang had been sitting in front of the door watching Xu Da's actions after waking up. Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang also believed that even if he was present, any drunk person would show his true thoughts in his heart.
Soon after lying on the bed, Xu Da squinted his eyes to look around himself, and when he found himself lying on the dragon bed, he couldn't help but have a chill behind him, but Xu Da's acting skills were really admirable, and it was precisely because of his acting skills that he avoided death.
Then Xu Da quietly continued to sleep, and then slowly turned around, and soon After Xu Da's body flipped to the side of the bed, then Xu Da fell under the bed, and then Xu Da turned around several times and continued to sleep. Zhu Yuanzhang saw Xu Da fall from the bed, so he pushed open the door to see what was happening in the house, and Xu Da woke up after hearing the sound of the door. Xu Da said to Zhu Yuanzhang with drunkenness: "Wei Chen should be damned, the emperor please stop being angry." "
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Da's performance and thought that he had no second thoughts about himself, so he did not pursue Xu Da's responsibility because of this matter.
Of course, there is another saying among the people, when Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da together laid down the Jiangshan, Zhu Yuanzhang gave Xu Da his military power, who knew that after Xu Da attacked Da, the people's voice for Xu Da was very high, and Zhu Yuanzhang was also very jealous of Xu Da's voice, so he always wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of Xu Da.
As for the cause of Xu Da's death, it has also been controversial in later generations. Some people say that xu da was still full of worries every day after escaping From Zhu Yuanzhang's elaborate liquor bureau, so he fell seriously ill shortly after, and Xu Da also died because of this life. Some people also say that after Xu Da left the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it again and again and felt that he still could not let Xu Da go, so he gave Xu Da a poisonous roast goose, and Xu Da died after eating the roast goose.
