When Zhu Yuanzhang was firmly established in the world, he began to reward his brothers who cultivated the world with him, and successively enfeoffed six princes and twenty-eight princes. These thirty-four governors are all excellent civil servants and military commanders, all of whom have great martial arts, extraordinary strategies and remarkable achievements. These people are the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, and it is because of their contributions that Daming is today. Zhu Yuanzhang not only awarded them a gold medal for avoiding death, but also selected princesses for their sons, so that his prince could marry the daughters of these people as princesses. They became their children's in-laws, and Xu Da, the first founding father of the Ming Dynasty, was one of them.
Many people are curious. As the number one founding father of Ming Dynasty, what great crime did Xu Zengshou, the fourth son of Xu Da, commit and was finally hacked to death by his sword in Jindian?
Xu Zengshou's date of birth is unknown. His father is Xu Da, his mother is Mrs Xie, and he is his wife's half-brother. After Wen Jian ascended the throne, Judy, the prince of Yan, sent his three sons to Beijing to be honored in order to dispel Zhu Yunwen's doubts. At that time, Zhu Yunwen, who had already suspected that Judy, the prince of Yan, was going to rebel, once asked Xu Zengshou, who bluntly said: The prince and the first emperor are one spirit and extremely rich. How can they rebel? "This just slowly dispelled Zhu Yunwen's doubts, relaxed Judy's vigilance, and did not leave the prince's three sons as hostages.
What he never expected was that it was not long before Judy sent troops to Beiping to rebel in the name of "Jun Qing side". At this time, Zhu Yunwen was very surprised and regretted after hearing the news of the prince's rebellion. After all, if Judy's son is taken hostage, not only will he get an extra card, but Judy may not rebel so early. At this time, Wen Jian began to suspect that Xu Zengshou was in collusion with Judy. After all, Xu Zengshou's words at that time had a great influence on him. After all, the Xu family is a founding hero. If there is no evidence, we can't lay hands on him now, otherwise it will easily lead to turmoil in the ruling and opposition parties.
Who knows that Xu Zengshou not only did not converge, but also reported to Beijing for deployment many times, and was finally discovered by Wen Jian. When Yan Jun crossed the Yangtze River, the angry Emperor Wen Jian questioned Xu Zengshou in the Golden Temple. At this time, Xu Zengshou said nothing, and the angry emperor Wen Jian directly killed Xu Zengshou with his sword.
