Someone pioneered the method of killing people by roasting geese. This pioneering spirit is Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This roast goose killing incident is like this: It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang's founding could not be separated from Xu Da, the first hero of the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Youliang, Zhu Yuanzhang's first competitor, was defeated by Xu Da, and Zhang Shicheng, Zhu Yuanzhang's second competitor, was killed by Xu Da.

Xu Da destroyed Zhu Yuanzhang's greatest enemy, the Yuan Dynasty. Xu Da's work performance is excellent, and they grew up playing together as childhood friends, so they have a good relationship. This honeymoon won't last forever.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang came to power, in order to consolidate the kingship, he began to kill the former heroes one by one, and Xu Da was also afraid.

Maybe it will be your turn one day. I'm worried. I'm even sick and have a big sore on my back. Knowing that Xu Da was ill, Zhu Yuanzhang specially sent someone to offer condolences, and also specially sent a big steamed goose. Xu Da saw that he was cold.

Because everyone knows that eating geese is the most taboo of this disease, eating geese will soon get sick and die. Zhu Yuanzhang knowingly sent it away and declared that he would commit suicide. The emperor wants to kill himself, where can he escape? So Xu Da had to eat the goose. Sure enough, he died of illness soon after. This statement is widely circulated, and even some experts will quote this story.
