Zhu Yuanzhang has three small hairs, namely Tang He, Xu Da and Zhou Dexing. They grew up bare-butt, playing with mud and herding cattle together, and living a happy and poor childhood together, so that they eventually came together and joined forces to devote themselves to the revolutionary cause of the peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.
The revolution succeeded, Zhu Yuanzhang became the founding emperor of huaiyou, Tang He was able to die without controversy, and Zhou Dexing was executed by Zhu Yuanzhang without controversy. And Xu Da's death, there is some controversy between the history of zhengshi and the history of the wild.
As the first general of the Ming Dynasty with outstanding military achievements, the Battle of Poyang Lake destroyed Chen Youyi, he besieged Pingjiang to suppress Zhang Shicheng, captured most of the Yuan Dynasty, and Xu Da made a great contribution to the establishment of Daming. But the death of Xu Da, who ranks first among the "Six Founding Kings", has different voices, the most famous of which is the Steamed Goose.
The "History of Ming" records: "Da was ill in Beiping, and after a slight recovery, Emperor Da's eldest son Hui Zu went to Lao, and sought to return." In February of the next year, he fell ill and died at the age of fifty-four. The emperor was a dropout of the dynasty, and he mourned in mourning. "
However, wild histories such as "Zhai Sheng Ye Wen" and "Long Xing Ci Ji" and the Ming historian Wu Han threw out the statement that "Xu Da suffered from back gangrene, and Zhu Yuanzhang knew that back gangrene was most taboo to eat geese, but he gave steamed goose to eat, and then he died".
The above records can lead to a common conclusion, that is, Xu Da suffered from back gangrene when he stayed in Beiping in the seventeenth year of Hongwu and died the following year. The controversy lies in the fact that Zhengshi said that he died of a serious back gangrene illness, while Yeshi believed that Xu Da had died by eating a steamed goose given by Zhu Yuanzhang.
So is it really Zhu Yuanzhang who sent away his own hair xiao Xuda with a steamed goose? I think this statement is completely untenable.
Zhu Yuanzhang was in power for thirty-one years, and successively launched 6 large-scale crackdowns on corruption, killing 150,000 corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but there were very few underground black hands for no reason, even if they were killed by mistake and indiscriminate killing, they had to give others a crime, the so-called "famous teacher".
The Guo Huan case and the empty seal case both arose because of the incident, and they could grasp the handle. Even the big killings that poured out in their later years, such as the Blue Jade case and the Hu Weiyong case, must have a reason to get on the table. Zhu Yuanzhang called the "first on the merits of the general" the death of the prince's master Youde, Fa Xiao Zhou Dexing, and so on, Zhu Yuanzhang basically let them "die as they want".
Zhu Yuanzhang did not do those things that "stabbed the knife in secret", this is his character, and it is also the governing ideology of "fairness and justice" and "acting according to etiquette and according to law" that he tried to show after he became emperor, that is, to install a false accusation and also have to be shown to the world.
Therefore, as an emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang did not need to give people a handle and play these small actions that could be seen through at a glance. If Xu Da really wanted to die, he could arbitrarily plant a thousand and ten thousand dispensable crimes at will, and do it with honor and integrity.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not become emperor and began to kill innocents indiscriminately, and used knives against the founding heroes. In the beginning, the peasant emperor only targeted corrupt officials, and the moths that endangered the Ming Empire State Building were fierce.
The Empty Seal case occurred in the eighth year of Hongwu (the ninth year of Hongwu), and the Guo Huan case occurred in the eighteenth year of Hongwu, and the two cases "sat and were killed by 70,000 to 80,000 people".
It was only after the death of Crown Prince Zhu Biao (May 25), after the death of Crown Prince Zhu Biao (May 25), when Zhu Yuanzhang, grief and even some trepidation, paved the way for the young emperor's grandson Zhu Yunjiao to clear the way, and only then began to launch a new round of irrational action.
Zhou Dexing was killed by Zhu Lian in August of the 25th year of Hongwu for his son Zhou Ji's adultery with the palace maid; the "Blue Jade Case" that killed more than 15,000 people and skinned the sapphire and grass occurred in the second year after Zhu Biao's death; Fu Youde was dissatisfied with old Zhu and died without guilt, which was even more a matter of Hongwu's 27 years...
Xu Da died in the eighteenth year of Hongwu (1385), and the crown prince Zhu Biao lived well. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of attacking the military generals who were still in the war, and he also had to count on these powerful generals Ton Bang to set the country and even assist the prince.
Not to mention that they are small and are relatives (Xu Da's eldest daughter is Zhu Difei the King of Yan, the second daughter is the Acting Princess Zhu Guifei, and the fourth daughter is Princess An), just by looking at Xu Da as a person, you can understand that he is not the person that Emperor Zhu wants to kill.
Zhu Yuanzhang praised Xu Da and said: "The order is prohibited. Do not be proud of their achievements, do not covet the treasures of women, handle problems impartially, and have no faults. There is only one person in the world who has this virtue. "
In reality, Xu Da is even more less verbal, thoughtful, low-key and conscientious, respectful and cautious in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. These are not superficial, he is really such a person.
Looking at the people Zhu Yuanzhang wants to kill, it can be understood that Xu Da should not be on the blacklist, at least when the prince is there, Xu Da will not be at risk of being killed (he is still the prince's wife). The so-called non-death, blue jade is not proud of its achievements, do not know that in front of the powerful emperor is a straw, looking for their own death. Those big celebrities who were killed by Zhu Yuanzhang either did have something wrong, or they deserved to die.
Tang He, who was as cautious as Xu Da, lived well and grew old peacefully even after the death of Crown Prince Zhu Biao; Zhang He, Hu Hai, and Zhang Long, who were not young in Huaixi, also lived to "natural death", and Geng Bingwen and Guo Ying were even more immortal in the Yongle years.
Back gangrene is actually a head pustules on the back, which is definitely not a fatal disease today, the light can be used with ointment plus a certain internal medication, and the heavy can be cured with antibiotics. Of course, the poor medical conditions and sanitary conditions in ancient times were indeed extremely high.
In the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Liu Yan passed on the biography: "In the first year of Xingping, he moved to Chengdu, and then he was on his back." "Records of History" Fan Zengchuan "did not go to Pengcheng, gangrene and died." "New Book of Tang" Meng Haoran biography "At the end of the new century, he was sick and sick. "
According to historical records, Fan Zeng, a strategist at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Biao, Cao Xiu, and Liu Yan of the Three Kingdoms, Meng Haoran, a landscape and pastoral poet of the Tang Dynasty, Zong Ze, a hero of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Nur Hachi, the qing taizu, were all hit by the stroke of back gangrene and lost their lives.
Although the back gangrene is severe, but eating the steamed goose, can you directly die? There is no scientific basis for this, at least today. Some modern experts have also proposed that although goose meat is a hair object, it is only a "taboo" in Chinese medicine, but whether it can cause death, there is no practical conclusion.
What's more, back gangrene was almost a terminal illness at that time, so why did the clever Zhu Yuanzhang do more than let himself leave a name in history?
Therefore, when Xu Da was seriously ill, Zhu Yuanzhang offered steamed geese purely nonsense and idle people's imagination, and gave Ming Taizu a black cauldron on his back, which may be the difference between wild history and zhengshi!
