After Zhu Yuanzhang took care of Xu Da, he never comforted him. He just chose to throw Xu Da aside.
This is really not like Lao Zhu's usual style of giving both kindness and power. Obviously, Xu Da was left aside to leave it to Da Sun to personally comfort him after he returned to Beijing.
Lao Zhu is so skilled at this trick that he doesn't care whether he is considered a villain or not.
Anyway, when Zhu Biao was the crown prince, Zhu Yuanzhang's rules for dealing with officials were to implicate the nine ethnic groups. One of the father and son played a bad role, and the other played a bad role.
Zhu Biao came out to intercede at the right time. Although the official who was punished could not escape death in the end, at least he would not be implicated in the nine tribes.
How could officials not praise the prince's kindness?
When dealing with Xu Da, Lao Zhu changed the soup but not the medicine. The villain Zhu Yuanzhang was responsible for it himself. Naturally, all the matters of winning over people's hearts were left to his eldest grandson.
Xu Da is right. If you insist on picking a problem, it is that the credit is too great and the master is overshadowed by the merits.
Suppose Xu Da is a player in the game. He has already reached the full level and cannot be promoted anymore.
The status of Zhu Yuanzhang, the highest-level player in the entire game, is about to be threatened.
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang's method of dealing with it was the simplest and crudest way of beating him to the end.
Xu Da, aren’t you at your full level? You can practice your account again for us!
Among the founding emperors, Liu Bang and Lao Zhu were the only ones who could deal with the heroes of the world by following them like this. They didn't show any kindness at all.
These two people are the most real and ruthless. They weigh the pros and cons completely out of the thinking of political animals. Every decision is not mixed with any personal feelings. They do not hesitate to get rid of any hero who can threaten the regime.
Alone and alone, these two achieved the ultimate,
However, among the two emperors who turned their backs on each other the most, Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously the better one. Although Liu Bang was thick-skinned, many of his dirty deeds were done under the guise of Empress Lu.
Take the example of Empress Lu getting rid of Han Xin. How could Liu Bang not know about it, but Liu Bang chose to remain silent. On the contrary, after Empress Lu got rid of Han Xin, he came out to complain about Empress Lu and pretended not to think about it at all. As if taking action,
Liu Bang also symbolically used Empress Lu as a sword, but Zhu Yuanzhang was completely different. Zhu Yuanzhang had already cultivated Houhei to the Mahayana.
His purpose is not hidden, and he doesn't care how much credit you have made before. Anyway, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang feels that you are a threat, he will deal with it without hesitation.
Ruthlessness is the most imperial family,
But I have to admit that an emperor with such a character is the most perfect.
Zhu Xiongying led Zhu Yunxi out of the palace. The two of them wanted to hide their whereabouts and went to Xu Mansion. However, as soon as they arrived at the gate of Xu Mansion, Xu Da and his children were already waiting there at the door of Xu's house. Not only Xu Family members, brothers Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui are also here.
"Your Highness!"
Xu Da had tears in his eyes. He didn't know whether he was really excited or pretending to be excited. Anyway, as soon as he saw Zhu Xiongying, Xu Da felt like he had found his backbone. With the air of an old minister with a heart full of fists, Zhu Xiongying came up to him and supported him. Xu Da said softly,
"General Xu, let's go inside and talk."
"Alas, I see you are really confused. Your Highness, this way."
Zhu Xiongying felt two fanatical eyes staring at him. One of them was Xu Miaojin, the second daughter of the Xu family and the concubine appointed by his grandfather.
Zhu Xiongying showed a perfect smile to Xu Miaojin. Seeing Xu Miaojin, she was dazzled and almost fainted to the ground.
Another line of sight came from Zhu Gaosui, which made Zhu Xiongying a little strange. In Zhu Xiongying's impression, Zhu Gaosui was very rebellious. What had this child experienced after coming to Beijing? Why did he feel like a different person? Like,
However, Zhu Xiongying did not have time to waste time on Zhu Gaoxu. Under the guidance of Xu Huizu, he entered the guest room of the Xu Mansion.
Although the Xu family is usually carefree, the Xu family actually has strict rules. Once they entered the guest room, only five people, Xu Da, Xu Huizu, Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Yunxi, and Zhu Gaochi, were left.
The rest of Xu Da's younger sons didn't follow him, and Xu Miaojin didn't come to the guest room because she was a member of the female class.
Speaking of which, Zhu Gaochi should not be qualified to come in, but this is where Xu Da is so powerful. Xu Da realized that His Highness valued his eldest grandson very highly just through the eye contact between His Highness and Zhu Gaochi.
So Xu Da took it upon himself to keep Zhu Gaochi. Seeing that His Highness had no reaction, Xu Da further confirmed his guess in his heart.
Your Highness, the reason why you brought Zhu Gaochi back was not to use Zhu Gaochi as the hostage of King Yan, as others thought, but because your Highness really took a fancy to Zhu Gaochi's talents and wanted to personally train this child.
"Your Highness, please take a seat..."
Xu Da gave up the throne to Zhu Xiongying, but Zhu Xiongying did not agree. Instead, he personally helped Xu Da sit down on the throne and comforted him, "If Xiongying didn't have the old general, where would he be today?"
Xu Da was greatly moved when he heard this, and burst into tears, and tears fell on his body.
Although Xu Da didn't say a word, anyone who saw him crying would feel that he had been greatly wronged.
Naturally, this reminds me of the war against Timur. Xu Da, who has always been in charge, did not even have a chance to intervene.
Forget it, he was almost exterminated by His Majesty. How could Xu Da not feel aggrieved?
However, His Highness's attitude today can be said to be the biggest reassurance for Xu Da. After His Highness entered the palace, the first person he came to when leaving the city was the Xu family.
Moreover, His Highness’s actions and words all revealed a strong signal.
That is, Gu still needs to rely on the Xu family,
In addition, His Highness did not hide his arrival at Xu's house at all. The news that His Highness Shengsun's arrival at Xu's house must have spread throughout the capital.
This is Zhu Xiongying personally supporting the Xu family.
A small gesture still carries so much meaning. There are some things that don’t need to be said clearly. Smart people understand everything with just one gesture.
The reality in the capital is very real. After Xu Da was raped, except for Lan Yu and Fu Ren who visited from time to time, the other nobles deliberately kept a distance from the Xu family.
Wei Guogong Xu Da is worth fawning over, but little old man Xu Da has nothing to fawn over.
But after tonight, the deserted Xu Mansion will look different again.
Zhu Xiongying went straight to the point,
"General Xu, I know that you have been wronged, but don't worry, I will not miss anything I promised you."
Xu Da shed tears. His Royal Highness Shengsun rarely calls himself an orphan.
But the meaning of His Highness Shengsun calling himself Gu now couldn’t be more obvious.
Zhu Xiongying was talking to Xu Da in his capacity as the State Crown Prince.
Xu Huizu, Zhu Yunxi, and Zhu Gaochi were not qualified to sit down. The three of them stood separately, with different things in their minds.
