But there are different records in unofficial history, saying that Zhu Yuanzhang also gave Xu the death penalty. Why is this?
First, Xu Da is Judy's father-in-law.
Prince Zhu Biao is the heir designated by Zhu Yuanzhang, but the position of Prince Zhu Biao is not without competitors. Prince Judy is one of the most advantageous competitors. Unfortunately, Xu Da is the father-in-law of Prince Judy. As long as Xu Da is alive and the flag is erected there, talents will keep pouring into Judy, so the status of the prince will be threatened, and it is very likely that there will be imitators and armor attacking each other. This is the last scene Zhu Yuanzhang wants to see. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't get rid of it by killing his own son, so there was only one way-let Xu die.
Second, Xu Da's status is too high.
There are many people who have made great contributions to the Lord in history, and the king can't tolerate them. He always has to pull out this thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh.
1363, Xu Da defeated Chen Youliang, 1365, Xu Da conquered Pingjiang and wiped out Zhang Shicheng, 1368, Xu Da invaded Yuandadu, 1369, besieged Lanzhou, 1370, and drove the Yuan army to Mo. ......
Xu Da's founding hero, Zhu Yuanzhang, acknowledged that after Xu Da's death, Zhu Yuanzhang wrote an inscription and said: But this is the first hero and the first threat. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had killed a large number of heroes, and the case of Aquamarine and Hu also involved a large number of people. The death of these founding heroes shows that Xu Da's outstanding military exploits have become Xu Da's death warrant.
As long as Xu Da lived for one day, Zhu Yuanzhang could not sleep for one day. Although they are brothers of life and death, it is imperative to get rid of Xu Da.
So this statement also exists and makes sense.
