The whole process of Zhu Yuanzhang's derailment in Xu Da and his drunken release of the dragon bed 1.
Zhu Yuanzhang likes suspicion most in his life and is good at killing dragons. Da, who once saved his life, was cheated by Zhu Yuanzhang because of suspicion. His throne can sit safely, but all the powerful people are liquidated and in power.
2. Xu Da
Xu Da, the most special of all the courtiers of Zhu Yuanzhang, originated from saving Zhu Yuanzhang. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang also married Xu Da, known as "brother-to-brother", ranking first among the courtiers among the six founding fathers.
However, is all this useful?
In the face of imperial power, this little mutual affection is still useful. If Xu Da himself was not careful, he would have been beheaded by Zhu Yuanzhang as an excuse.
Even when they were young, they stole the cattle of the landlords, chewed beef together and worshipped "king of the children".
Of course, this is limited to unofficial history. In the official history, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't die this Xu Da. His death was a natural death, and the reason why he died naturally was that he passed a series of tests by Zhu Yuanzhang and finally got away.
For example, in Sleeping in the Dragon Bed, the whole story is that after Xu Da returned to Beijing once, Zhu Yuanzhang still couldn't let go of his suspicion and planned to test whether Xu Da was really loyal or not.
After returning to Beijing, Zhu Yuanzhang gave a banquet in honor of the general Xu Da, not in the palace, but in the early days of Zhu Yuanzhang's mansion, the prince of Wu.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Yuanzhang began to think hard: "Ai Qing, you have fought for my country for more than ten years, and now you don't even have a decent house. I'm going to give you the prince's mansion today. What do you think? "
Hearing this, Xu Da became alert and shuddered. Originally slightly drunk, he woke up instantly with the strength of wine, and cold sweat slipped down the middle of the back, and an idea flashed in his mind: "Here we go again! Isn't this an obvious test for Xu Da? I have served you in Xu Da for half my life, and I will hand over the relieving when I return to Beijing. Don't even dare to build a mansion. What do you want? "
After thinking about it, Xu Da bowed his head and replied, "How can I get a gift from the holy family? This mansion is a sacred family. Can I give it to my official at will? I hope your majesty will take back the imperial edict. "
In this regard, Zhu Yuanzhang is not reluctant, and he does not really want to get rich, but he is tempted by drunkenness to see if this Xu Da has lost power.
Of course, after the test, Zhu Yuanzhang was still not at ease.
So, after Xu Daci got drunk, he was ordered to put him on the dragon bed where he slept, and planned to wait until he woke up to have a look at the minister from the dragon outside the door.
If Xu Da wakes up complacent, he will be killed. If he is afraid, then this person is truly loyal.
Fortunately, Xu Da never gave up caution from beginning to end. Even though Zhu Yuanzhang held a banquet in the old mansion instead of the palace, he saved the minister from danger.
After waking up, unlike the arrogant and powerful minister, he immediately turned out of bed and shouted in fear, "I'm dead, I'm dead!" "
At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was waiting outside the door, gave up the idea of killing Xu Da. Later, he felt guilty about it. He built a mansion for Xu Da and personally nominated the word "home".
After this incident, Xu Da became more cautious and finally died a fair death.
