There are many stories about how Xu Da died. There is a saying that Ming Chengzu gave him a roast goose because he was afraid that Xu Da would threaten his rule. Xu Da was allergic to roast goose when he approached, but because it was a gift from the emperor, he had to accept it, so he ate it painfully, and later died pitifully because of his weak body. In fact, if he ate the roast goose, he might not die. However, the emperor's intention to roast goose is obvious. However, if you let the minister die, the minister will die. So there is another view that Xu Da actually died after eating roast goose after taking poison. Visible Xu Da is a loyal minister, since ancient times, once the emperor won the world, it will create the Qing Dynasty, even the loyal minister who risked his life for him in that year may not be spared, especially in the Ming Dynasty, many founding heroes failed to have a good end.

As a founding father, Xu Da once campaigned for Ming Taizu, and his achievements are very rare even in the whole history of China. The death of such a hero is indeed full of controversy. According to the Biography of Xu Da in the Ming Dynasty, the statement that Xu Da should have gangrene on his back and died after eating a roasted goose is groundless, but among the people, Zhu Yuanzhang's cruelty and meanness can be seen in people's hearts.

The story of eating a goose and dying is not credible for three reasons. First, although Xu Da is a hero, he is modest and prudent, and abides by his duty. Therefore, Ming Taizu had no motive to kill him. Second, Ming Taizu never assassinated heroes. Even if he really wants to kill him, there is no need to use such blatant and despicable means. Third, after the death of Xu Da, Ming Taizu could not choose to kill Xu Da at the critical moment when the Mongols invaded and needed military generals.
