The monarch and the minister are suspicious - a "power version" of werewolf killing
Speaking of Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da in the Ming Dynasty, this is simply a "power version" of werewolf killing!
Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is famous for "killing people without blinking". Think about it, didn't the famous generals who followed him fight the world end up in a different place?
However, there is such a person who not only survived this "battle royale", but also won Zhu Yuanzhang's "ultimate trust", and that is our protagonist - Xu Da.

Fateful friendship and outstanding military exploits - the road of counterattack from "little follower" to "founding father".
If you want to say that this Xu Da has a lifelong friendship with Zhu Yuanzhang.
thinks that at the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang was just a civilian, and when he participated in the Red Turban Army to resist the Yuan Dynasty, Xu Da was already his "little follower".
At that time, Xu Da was very brave and good at fighting, and he was simply Zhu Yuanzhang's "right-hand man". The Battle of Poyang Lake, the Battle of Huaidong, and the Battle of the Northern Expedition...... In these key battles, which one is missing Xu Da's figure? It is simply a "harvester of military achievements"!
In this way, Xu Da, with his courage and wisdom, counterattacked all the way from a "little follower" to a "founding father". This status is like a rocket!
However, Xu Da did not get fluttered because of this. He knows the truth of "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger", so in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he has always maintained a low-key and cautious style.

Low-key and cautious - not only a "god of war", but also a "human spirit"
Speaking of Xu Da's low-key prudence, that's really not covered! Think about it, at that time in the Ming Dynasty, many generals were proud of their achievements and empty eyes as soon as they won a battle.
But what about Xu Da? He doesn't do that! He is well aware of his position and responsibilities, and he also knows what kind of person his "boss" Zhu Yuanzhang is.
Therefore, he has never been greedy for money, not lustful, and not arrogant. This kind of quality was simply a clear stream in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty at that time!
As for Zhu Yuanzhang, he also sees this quality of Xu Da in his eyes and is happy in his heart. He felt that this Xu Daah was not only a "god of war" who could fight well, but also a "human spirit" who knew how to judge the situation.
Such a person is really reassuring to put it around! So he reuses Xu Da even more.
Once, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to test Xu Da to see if he was really so loyal. So, he deliberately drunk Xu Da, and then sent him to his old palace to rest.
This Zhu Yuanzhang is also cunning and cunning, he wants to know what Xu Da will do if he wakes up and finds himself sleeping in the emperor's bed?
As a result, when Xu Da woke up, he saw that he was sleeping on the emperor's bed, so frightened that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times in the direction of Zhu Yuanzhang's bedroom.
This scene made Zhu Yuanzhang laugh when he saw it, and he thought to himself: This Xu Da is really a loyal minister! Not only is he not greedy for pleasure, but he also knows the proportions and rules, such a person can really reassure me!

The perfect combination of wisdom and loyalty - the transformation from "important ministers" to "cronies".
After this temptation, Zhu Yuanzhang's trust in Xu Da has become even firmer. He thinks that this Xu Da is not only brave and good at fighting, but also wise, but more importantly, he is also loyal and reliable, and knows how to measure himself.
Such a person, putting it by his side is simply like a tiger with wings! So, Zhu Yuanzhang began to hand over some more important things to Xu Da to do.
Xu Da did not live up to Zhu Yuanzhang's trust. With his wisdom and courage, he made great contributions to the stability and development of the Ming Dynasty.
He was not only able to strategize on the battlefield and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, but also be able to remain sober and calm in the political struggle, and provide advice and solve problems for Zhu Yuanzhang. Such a person was a rare existence in the Ming Dynasty at that time!
In this way, Xu Da won Zhu Yuanzhang's "ultimate trust" with his wisdom and loyalty, and transformed from an ordinary "important minister" to a "cronie" around Zhu Yuanzhang.
This kind of relationship is not an ordinary relationship between monarchs and ministers, but a complex emotion mixed with friendship, trust and dependence!

Only by recognizing one's position can it be smooth sailing - from Xu Da's perspective on the way to survive in the workplace
Looking back on Xu Da's life, we can find a truth: that is, only by recognizing one's own position can we have a smooth ride in life and work.
Think about it, if Xu Da was proud of his achievements and empty-eyed because of his military exploits, then he would probably end up like those famous generals who were killed by Zhu Yuanzhang.
But he didn't, he always maintained a low-key and cautious style, and he always knew his position and role. He knew that he was a courtier, so he had to do his duty as a courtier, and he couldn't do whatever he wanted, let alone act beyond his authority.
This prudence and self-discipline earned him the trust and respect of Zhu Yuanzhang, and also made him a prominent figure in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, we must also recognize our position in life and work like Xu Da!
Don't feel that you have a little ability to flutter, you must know that "there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world"! Only by keeping a low profile and being cautious and constantly working hard can we go further and be more stable!
