"Don't dare, don't dare, the adults are too humble." Xu Zengshou still didn't know what Zhu Wenyu wanted to say, so he had to vaguely agree.

"Who would have thought that a farewell outside Beiping City would become a permanent secret, which is really lamentable." Zhu Wenyu sighed.

"Life is like this in the world, the world is impermanent, Master Zhu doesn't have to be like this." Xu Zengshou was still inexplicable, and said carefully.

"It's just that when I returned to Beijing this time, Zhu heard a lot of rumors." Zhu Wenyu turned sharply: "There are a lot of all kinds of rumors, and I really don't understand why there are these rumors and rumors." I don't know if Lord Xu was by his side when Lord Ling Zun died, and what was the situation at that time, I don't know if Lord Xu could see it? ”

Xu Zengshou glanced at Zhu Wenyu cautiously and asked, "Is Lord Zhu sent by the emperor?" ”

Zhu Wenyu smiled noncommittally and said, "I just returned to Beijing from other places today. As he spoke, he took out the gold medal given by Zhu Yuanzhang from his bosom and shook it, then retracted it into his arms.

As an official of the imperial court, Xu Zengshou naturally could see that it was a royal gold medal, so he thought that Zhu Wenyu was really sent by Zhu Yuanzhang, so he quickly stood up and bowed respectfully, and Zhu Wenyu hurriedly stood up and returned the salute. How did Xu Zengshou know that this gold medal was given by Zhu Yuanzhang to him to control the magistrates when he walked the rivers and lakes? I thought he was sent to ask these words, but he was bluffed by Zhu Wenyu, so naturally he didn't dare not tell the truth, and slowly and carefully said a word, and Zhu Wenyu learned some inside information.

It turned out that Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, was transferred back to the capital by Zhu Yuanzhang to recuperate because of his back gangrene, and as soon as he returned to the capital, Zhu Yuanzhang sent a doctor to the house to see a doctor and prescribed a prescription for careful conditioning. Originally, Xu Da's gangrene grew on his back, which was very dangerous, but he knew that he had boiled up a good body for decades in his career as a horseman, and it was gradually entering the middle of winter, the weather was cold, and this gangrene would no longer worsen, plus Zhu Yuanzhang instructed the imperial doctor not to spare medicinal materials, no matter how precious the rare and exotic herbs, as long as they are beneficial to the disease, they are all used correctly, and rare medicinal materials such as the hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and the thousand-year-old turtle shell fist He Shou Wu do not know how much they have used.

On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang had a whim in the palace and ordered Hu Weiyong, the prime minister of the left, to summon the old ministers and old generals who had fought the Ming Dynasty with Zhu Yuanzhang into the palace, set up a banquet and chatted about the old days while drinking, and Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, did not enter the palace because he was recuperating at home due to back gangrene. Who knew that Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly ordered the eunuch to send Xu Da a holy decree, saying that it was a banquet from the old ministers in the palace and Xu Da shared it, who knew that Xu Da saw the gift, and kowtowed to thank him with tears in his eyes, and ate the gift in public, Xu Zengshou thought that his father was moved, but after the eunuch left, Xu Da did not say a word. At night, Xu Da suddenly called Xu Zengshou to the room and said a lot to him, and there seemed to be a suicide in the words, Xu Zengshou didn't know why, but seeing that his father's expression was wrong, he was afraid that something would happen, so he didn't dare to leave. Xu Da told him to go back to the room after a call as if he had explained the aftermath, Xu Zengshou refused to do anything, and he was in a stalemate for a while before Xu Da spoke. It turned out that the emperor gave a steamed goose, Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang are both from Haozhou, Anhui Province, and there is a saying in Haozhou's hometown, saying that people suffering from back gangrene are the most taboo to eat steamed food, especially steamed goose, and they will die of poison when they eat it. It is impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang not to know the tradition of his hometown, and it is impossible not to know that Xu Da has also heard of this statement, now that Xu Da is suffering from a serious disease of back gangrene, Zhu Yuanzhang still gives him steamed goose, the intention is actually very obvious, that is, to give Xu Da to death, this meaning, it is difficult for people who are not fellow villagers in Haozhou to understand, but Xu Da can't pretend not to know, nor can he say it clearly, he ate the steamed goose in front of the eunuch with tears, but who knows that it is not poisonous, but Zhu Yuanzhang's means of dealing with the old ministers and old generals Xu Da has long been deeply aware of it, Huai'an Hou Huayunlong, Liao Yongzhong, Marquis of Deqing, and Liu Ji and Liu Bowen, who died unexplained, Xu Da knew that if Zhu Yuanzhang had the intention to kill himself, it would be impossible to be attached to the old love, so he gave death in the form of a steamed goose, and it was not public, and it was expected that it would not harm his children and grandchildren, which was already extraordinarily gracious, Xu Da knew very well in his heart. Since Zhu Yuanzhang has clearly expressed this meaning, then even if he can't die after eating steamed goose, Xu Da can only take medicine and commit suicide to show his will. Xu Huizu was in charge of the army outside Beijing at the time, and he didn't know the details, Xu Zengshou was afraid that his brother would be short-tempered and didn't dare to say it clearly, but he hid it in his heart, although the rest of the family felt that the old man didn't know why he took medicine to find a short-term opinion, it was really puzzling, but he didn't know the reason for this, although Xu Zengshou knew it in his heart, how dare he tell people about it? It's just that at this time, because Zhu Wenyu is the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, he thought that Zhu Yuanzhang sent him to interrogate, so he didn't dare to hide it and report it truthfully, anyway, Xu Danai was given death by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he understood the reason, just to ask about the situation at that time. As for what Xu Da said before taking the medicine, Xu Zengshou swore that Xu Da just looked at the direction of the palace in the north and kowtowed to thank him, bursting into tears, constantly recalling the old things when he followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight in the south and the north to fight the Ming Dynasty. As for whether this is true or false, or just Xu Zengshou thought that Zhu Wenyu was a person sent by Zhu Yuanzhang and hypothesized it to show his loyalty to the monarch, Zhu Wenyu couldn't tell the difference, but at least he understood a lot of the inside story.

What Zhu Wenyu didn't know was that because of this incident, Xu Zengshou was angry with Zhu Yuanzhang, and later Zhu Yuanzhang died, and the crown prince Zhu Biao died early, and Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen to ascend the throne for Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty. Although Zhu Di is Xu Da's eldest son-in-law, Xu Da's eldest son-in-law and brother-in-law of Xu Huizu, the eldest son of Wei Guogong, Xu Huizu is loyal to Emperor Jianwen, leading the army to King Qin, leading the army to fight several bloody battles with the army of King Yan, but the second Xu Zengshou is a secret brother-in-law Zhu Di, who is in the capital as an internal response, the reason is that Zhu Yuanzhang gave Xu Da death today, and was killed by Emperor Jianwen in Zuo Shun. Later, Zhu Di captured the capital, ascended the throne as the Yongle Emperor, and the Jianwen Emperor was nowhere to be found, Zhu Di was grateful for Xu Zengshou's merits, and posthumously awarded him the title of Dingguo Gong, so Xu Da has two hereditary titles of Wei Guogong and Dingguo Gong, the so-called "one door and two dukes", which is unique in the Ming Dynasty. This is not to be mentioned later.

Coming out of the Wei Mansion, Zhu Wenyu's heart was heavy, he really didn't expect that the rumors would be true, Xu Da was really given death by the current emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. He remembered that Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang had walked side by side in the garden of the inner palace, chatting while walking, talking and laughing, not at all like monarchs and ministers, it was completely the appearance of decades of old friendship, in fact, it was indeed a brother who had fought together for decades, but at this time, it was a holy decree and a steamed goose, and a word made a living person, a brother who had been poisoning for decades committed suicide. It turned out that Huai'an Hou Huayunlong and Deqing Hou Liao Yongzhong were still young when Zhu Yuanzhang died, and they were not familiar with it, and they didn't feel it deeply, but Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, knew him originally, and he was once held in his arms by the bearded man and laughed and played, but at this time he had become a corpse under a will, all of which made Zhu Wenyu suddenly feel tired and empty, and the "emperor's uncle" who was very close to him in his heart suddenly felt strange, which made him a little dazed and a little at a loss.

He suddenly remembered that he probably had to ask his "emperor's uncle" again to see if this "uncle" gave Xu Da to death because of the Tianyi League, and if so, then what news was there, and how to deal with the Tianyi League next. It's just that it's getting late at this time, and it's too late to enter the palace, so I can only enter the palace tomorrow.

Back in the mansion, Desert Nangong Ling Zhou Yuan and others have been sitting in the hall waiting for his news, and when they saw him come in, they all stood up, and looked at him with six eyes in unison, but saw that his face was gloomy and his face was silent, not at all like the usual look of a hanger, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, knowing that he must have found out some news, but he didn't want to ask, just watched Zhu Wenyu drag his steps into the hall, sat on the horse and was stunned, and was silent for a long time.

"Hey, I said stinky boy, if you ask something, you're talking." After a long time, Zhou Yuan still couldn't hold his breath, and couldn't help but ask.

"Duke Wei Guo......" Zhu Wenyu's voice was tired: "Xu Da...... It was ...... by the old man Death-giver. ”

"Ahh Although this news did not come out of one of the several possibilities that everyone estimated in advance, as soon as the news was confirmed, it still surprised the other three.

"Why?" Nangong Ling asked.

"I want to know why I'm not sitting here." Zhu Wenyu said dejectedly.

"Brother Zhu, tell me the details, and we'll discuss it carefully." Desert passed over a cup of hot tea as he spoke.

"Hmm." Zhu Wenyu took the tea and took a sip of it, settled down, and went to the Wei Mansion to worship the spirit, and Xu Da's second son Xu Zengshou inquired about the news.

"The emperor's uncle gave the steamed goose, obviously to give death, no different from putting a bottle of poisonous wine, even if Wei Guogong can't die after eating, he knows that he can't live, it's better to take medicine by himself, so as not to be beheaded. In this way, Xu Dabeard died. Finally, Zhu Wenyu concluded.

After listening to Zhu Wenyu, the three of them stopped talking, and they were all thinking carefully.

"Brother Zhu, what about Manager You? Is he there? Desert pondered for a long time and suddenly asked.

"Yo, I didn't pay attention to this, but I didn't seem to see him at the time, so maybe I went out to run errands." Zhu Wenyu recalled carefully: "It doesn't seem to be, yes, no, there really isn't." Zhu Wenyu affirmed.

"Oh." Desert pondered: "This Chief Manager You is a figure we already know now that must belong to the Tianyi League, he is not there, will it mean that the Tianyi League has indeed been quietly eradicated by the emperor?" ”

"I don't know, I really don't know. Anyway, I really didn't see him today. Zhu Wenyu looked up at the desert.

"I've always felt a little strange about this." Desert Road.

"How?" Zhu Wenyu, Nangong Ling, and Zhou Yuan's eyes stared at the desert again.

"Brother Zhu, think about it, why do we suspect that the Tianyi Alliance is related to Wei Guogong?" Desert asked rhetorically.
