Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1185

Wei Guogong?

Upon hearing the news from outside the hall, Wei Wu was stunned, and then suddenly remembered something about Xu Da, the Duke of Wei.

In the 17th year of Hongwu, Xu Da contracted a back carbuncle while guarding Beijing. Although he soon recovered, he was summoned back to Beijing by Zhu Yuanzhang.

But not long after he returned, his condition worsened and he had to recuperate at home until his condition worsened again and he passed away in the 18th year of Hongwu.

Because Xu Da had not been in the capital before, Wei Wu had no contact with him and subconsciously ignored him.

Now after hearing the message from the palace servants, Wei Wu remembered that it was already the eighteenth year of Hongwu!

Moreover, it is already the beginning of January, and Xu Da died on February 27th, less than two months ago.

Therefore, after the palace servant outside the hall finished conveying the message, Wei Wu immediately turned around and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a smile on his face, disappeared instantly when he heard the sound outside the hall.

At this moment, one can clearly see loneliness and sadness in his expression and eyes.

You have to know that since Wei Wu and Zhu Yuanzhang came into contact, he has only seen Zhu Yuanzhang show grief twice until now.

The last time was when Zhu Xiongying was infected with smallpox, and Empress Ma took care of him personally, but the second time is now.

Wei Wu was still thinking about whether to take his leave, but before he could open his mouth, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang giving orders to the palace servants.

"I understand. Tell the imperial physician to go immediately, and then tell the Imperial Food Bureau to prepare a roast goose and send it to the Duke of Wei's mansion."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, the response of the palace servants was heard outside the palace gate. After the palace servants left, Zhu Yuanzhang fell into silence.

At this time, Wei Wu asked a question from the side.

"Uncle Zhu, aren't you going to visit Duke Wei?"

Hearing Wei Wu's words, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly turned his head and looked over, then shook his head and explained:

"After my third brother returned to Beijing, I went to visit him many times, but our visits did not help his illness at all and only caused trouble."

"My third brother and I have a deep bond, so we don't need to be bound by those mundane etiquettes, but the other people in his mansion are terrified when they see me."

"If we go, even if Third Brother doesn't have to get up, he'll still have to stay alert to talk to us. It's better not to go and let him rest in bed."

"Third brother likes to eat roast goose. Let's not bother him. Let's send him a roast goose to let him know that we still care about him."

After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation, Wei Wu finally understood that it was indeed a good thing that Zhu Yuanzhang did not visit him.

In any case, Zhu Yuanzhang was the king of a country. When he went to visit Xu Da, the people in the Duke of Wei's Mansion had to receive him carefully.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang himself doesn't care about those things, others won't think so. In that case, it's better not to cause trouble.

As for the roast goose that was criticized by countless idiots in later generations, Wei Wu just wanted to say that it was complete nonsense.

First of all, patients with back carbuncle do not need to avoid eating roast goose. In fact, goose meat is rich in protein and fat, which can enhance nutritional intake.

Secondly, the so-called story of Xu Da being poisoned by roast goose is not even a historical record. It comes from a novel called "Longxing Ci Ji".

To put it bluntly, these are lies fabricated by the gentry to discredit Zhu Yuanzhang. These literati are of the same character as the public intellectuals of later generations.

You should know that in the original history, the Ming Dynasty needed Xu Da to guard the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang even called Xu Da the "Great Wall".

Any emperor with a sound mind would not do such an irrational thing as destroying the Great Wall.

Before traveling through time, Wei Wu had argued with others online about this matter, but later found that there was no need at all.

Because those people either don't check the information at all, or they just believe what the marketing accounts say as official history.

Either they are deliberately smearing others, or they just want to smear others, and there is no need to explain the reason.
