There is an old saying: "The outstanding man of Hongwu is the great descendant who has two husbands and lives in the second capital". At the beginning, the only heroes who helped Zhu Yuanzhang conquer the world were the descendants of General Xu Da, who inherited Duke Wei and Duke Ding. Many other heroes were killed and demoted by Zhu Yuanzhang. Their descendants will certainly come to no good end.

Today, we talk about Xu Da. First of all, he and Zhu Yuanzhang are from the same town. They are honest and upright, have repeatedly made meritorious military service, are well versed in the art of war, and are cautious in doing things. Zhu Yuanzhang certainly cares about these loyal subjects. Zhu Yuanzhang once said: "Brother Xu has made great contributions, but he has not settled down, so he can be given his former residence." He even gave his old house to Xu Da. However, Xu Da is determined not to "keep his word". Xu Da is a general, so to speak, commanding, but in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he has reached the point of "pretending to be unable to speak".

Looking back at other ministers who fought alongside him, most of them were proud of themselves. Zhu Yuanzhang had to consider the prince, so he decided to kill his heart after he succeeded to the throne to stabilize his son's dominant position. It is conceivable that even Liu Bowen and others are born to die.
