Chapter 238 Xu Da and Zhu Lang met for the first time

The relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da was very strong. Many editors said that when Xu Da was seriously ill, Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a roast goose. After Xu Da learned about it, he immediately arranged the funeral... and then he said that his wife Zhang had no scheming and offended people everywhere.

It was said that Zhang himself did not have much culture and had never attended a private school, which made her ignore many of the etiquettes she should have, which was very dangerous in ancient times. And she had an extraordinary relationship with the queen. During the conversation between the two, Zhang often spoke unrestrainedly, so she said some vulgar words.

But Zhang's personality always brings disaster to himself. After all, the etiquette between the monarch and the ministers was inevitable in that era. Zhang's words were really disrespectful to the royal family at a banquet, which eventually angered Zhu Yuanzhang completely and was secretly executed under Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement. Zhu Yuanzhang valued Xu Da, so he did not implicate him.

However, after Zhang was executed by Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da began to feel depressed. On the one hand, he missed his wife, and on the other hand, he was also worried about his future. Soon after, a huge boil grew behind Xu Da, but ancient medical technology was very backward, and it was very difficult to treat it.

Zhu Yuanzhang specially invited the best doctor for Xu Da at that time. Fortunately, Xu Da's condition was controlled and improved with the development of time. Zhu Yuanzhang even visited his home in person. Zhu Yuanzhang had a purpose in this trip. He didn't know whether Xu Da was really sick or pretending to be sick.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the situation on Xu Da's back, he realized that he was indeed seriously ill and had not been long. Before leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the doctor what Xu Da needed to avoid eating. After learning that it was greasy food, Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to send a roast goose for Xu Da.

When Xu Da saw the roast goose, he understood that it was Zhu Yuanzhang who wanted him to die! He immediately ordered to start arranging his funeral. After eating the roast goose, Xu Da's condition immediately worsened and he quickly returned to the west.

Haha, those with a brain actually know that this is actually a rumor, a rumor created by the descendants of corrupt officials killed by Zhu Yuanzhang. Even scholars of the Qing Dynasty thought it was nonsense.

According to the current historical records with high credibility, Xu Da himself did suffer from cervical cervix in his later years. This year was the seventeenth year of Hongwu. In this year, the astronomical phenomenon of Taiyin invading the general occurred. This astrological sign was that the moon had intersection with the general (star official name). At that time, this was considered an ominous sign.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt hated because of this. So he asked Xu Da's son Xu Huizu to visit the army to express his condolences, and at the same time brought Zhu Yuanzhang's handwritten letter. After receiving the letter, Xu Da returned to Nanjing. At this time, Xu Da's back was indeed improved after the treatment of Xu Da's back in Peking. However, in February of the second year after returning, Xu Da died.

Therefore, many people believe that Xu Da's death was caused by Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, before that, Zhu Yuanzhang had killed a group of heroes due to the Hu Weiyong case. Moreover, the relationship between Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed very subtle.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da are young brothers, and they have a good relationship.

Of course, when Xu Da held military power and made great contributions, Zhu Yuanzhang did have suspicion.

However, Xu Da really didn't leave any help for Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang often called Xu Da brothers after drinking.

But Xu Da was extremely cautious and never surpassed him. After pacifying the world, Xu Da often went out to fight. Every time he led his army north in spring and came back in winter. After handing over the seal to Zhu Yuanzhang, the two of them drank.

Compared with other generals, Xu Da was not only good at fighting, but also had good character. Even after winning the battle, he maintained a very modest attitude and was not greedy for women and money. More importantly, he could reassure Zhu Yuanzhang. Although Xu Da was a fellow villager with many heroes, he never formed cliques.

Hu Weiyong once won over Xu Da, but Xu Da refused. Among the generals in the early Ming Dynasty, Xu Da could definitely bear Zhu Yuanzhang's evaluation of "he was ordered to come out, succeed, not be proud or criticized, women have nothing to love, treasures are taken, and they are in a straight and flawless way, and they are just a general!"

In the situation at that time, Xu Da was indeed inseparable from Xu Da. Although the Yuan Dynasty was defeated back to the grassland, it still had a strong force and the northern border was still not peaceful. To sum up, there were very deep personal feelings between Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da, and there were suspicions between the monarch and the ministers. But it does not mean that Zhu Yuanzhang must directly kill Xu Da. Moreover, it is well known that eating roast goose will cause carbuncles to occur.

Of course, based on current historical records, there is no way to determine the exact cause of Xu Da's death, which should have a lot to do with the carbuncle. However, one thing that can be proven is that Xu Da died of Zhu Yuanzhang's death because of the burning goose. This is just a rumor.

Another point is that the relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da is definitely not something that ordinary people can shake.

"Tiande... go... get on our carriage..." After hugging, Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Xu Da towards his carriage.

"Oh, I'm going to take power, this is impossible. There is a difference between the king and the minister. How can you let me get on your carriage...?" Xu Da waved his hands repeatedly. This is Xu Da's wisdom. He will always know his own measure.

"I know you are afraid... Don't worry, there is someone to accompany you this time..." As he said that, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Lang behind him: "Langer, Uncle Xu, who has seen you... In the future, your maritime inspection team will ask your Uncle Xu more, as he also knows some knowledge about naval battles."

"My nephew Zhu Lang greets Uncle Xu." Zhu Lang bowed to Xu Dayingying.

"Oh... Lang'er, is it my aunt's great grandson..." Xu Da was surprised.

"Yes...it's been so many years, and I finally got it back." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

Xu Da hurried over and looked at Zhu Lang and said, "Brother Nephew, you've suffered outside. Now I'm back. If you have any problems in the future, I'll come to Duke's Mansion to find you Uncle Xu Da. Uncle Xu Da will definitely help you."

Xu Da is very close to Zhu Lang.

Zhu Lang also smiled quickly and replied, "Thank you, Uncle Xu."

"Haha... Okay, okay, don't reminisce about the past, go and get in the car and go back to the palace. Let's have a good drink first. But we stole a lot of Damingchun and good tea from your nephew. Hehe... Your nephew has more money than both of us, come... I'll get on first and pull our son."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and got on the carriage, then pulled Zhu Lang into the carriage.

Then Xu Da also jumped up with a smile. After Zhu Biao watched the three of them enter the carriage, he also smiled and shouted, "Go back to the palace."

However, just as the royal convoy was coming home, the three brothers Zhu Qi, Zhu Di and Zhu Qi showed speechless expressions.

"What's the matter... what are the three of us here to do?" Zhu Qi looked at the leaving team unhappily: "After all, there are three princes, three princes... They left without even saying a word?"

"Satisfied, third brother...at least you are here, look at the second brother. I don't know when I will be banned." Zhu Shi looked at Zhu Di with a smile and asked, "Fourth brother... won't you go to Qinhuai River if you wait?"

"Go...why not...Kou Jing must be mine tonight." After saying that, Zhu Di turned dark and left first.

"Are you sick..." Zhu Qi was upset.

"Okay, my second brother... is gone... is gone..." Zhu Xu was shocked and followed the team together to go home.
