Wei Zi lost to the emperor at chess.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the chessboard to reward Xu Da was mainly because Xu Da put the word "Long live" on the chessboard. Everyone knows that Zhu Yuanzhang was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. From beggar to monarch, you can imagine how much he paid during this period. Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor without Xu Da's help. Xu Da can be said to have laid a very solid foundation for Zhu Yuanzhang to dominate the world. Xu Da was the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, saying that he made great contributions.

But sometimes, the more capable you are, the more people will feel uneasy, because your great ability will make the emperor aware of the crisis, which every emperor does not want, especially after the bizarre deaths of Liu Bowen and Li Wenzhong, which makes Xu Da feel unsafe. After a battle, Xu Da was summoned back to Beijing. Zhu Yuanzhang was very excited when he saw Xu Da. He warmly embraced Xu Da and made Xu Da sweat.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang invited Xu Da to play chess with him. Xu Da knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's chess skill was not good, and decided to let Zhu Yuanzhang win by himself, but Zhu Yuanzhang asked Xu Da to play chess seriously this time, which embarrassed Xu Da. This is really a victory or defeat. This chess game was played all day, and Zhu Yuanzhang was about to lose, but Xu Da secretly let Zhu Yuanzhang lose the water, which also turned the tables. However, when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to win, Xu Da refused to play.

At this time, Xu Da asked Zhu Yuanzhang to look at the chessboard from his point of view, only to see the word "Long live" written on the chessboard. Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy and gave the building where he played chess to Xu Da.
