As the founding general of the Ming Dynasty and a good comrade-in-arms of Emperor Hongwu, Xu Da was granted the title of Duke of Wei, and was awarded the title of Iron Coupon to the founding hero. After his death, he was granted the title of King of Zhongshan. Only Chang Yuchun could tie him.
In the wave of Emperor Hongwu's killing of heroes, the Xu family did not fall. Instead, they became kings for three generations and ruled Nanjing for generations to come. They can be called a rare evergreen tree in the Ming Dynasty and a noble family.
During the Hongwu period, Xu Da went outside the Great Wall many times, Xu Huizu once trained troops in Beiping, Zhu Di married Xu Da's eldest daughter, and the relationship with the Xu family has always been good. It was not until Jianwen ascended the throne and drastically reduced the vassal vassal that Xu Huizu and Zhu Di gradually became estranged. This was not the case with Xu Zengshou. The two brothers often had disputes on this matter. It was not uncommon for the brothers to flip tables and throw stools, or even get into a fight.
Compared with Xu Huizu's stability, Xu Zengshou's character was a bit impatient. Emperor Jianwen trusted Xu Huizu, but had doubts about Xu Zengshou. He once asked him face to face whether Zhu Di would rebel.
Xu Zengshou was a bachelor. He shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "The King of Yan is a prince and he is extremely rich. How can he rebel?"
