It is said that when Zhu Yuanzhang was still a civilian, when he first joined the army, such a strange thing happened, that is, when Zhu Yuanzhang's army passed through a village and went in to rest, he met a farmer and lived in the farmer's home, this farmer was extremely good at looking at a person's face, and when the farmer saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he issued a sigh of "public surprise, wonderful and wonderful", and quickly said that Zhu Yuanzhang must be a talented person in the future. Since then, the farmer has always shown favor to Zhu Yuanzhang, not only treating him more, but also marrying his only daughter to Zhu Yuanzhang, and also letting his two sons join the army and follow Zhu Yuanzhang.

As the farmer predicted at the time, Zhu Yuanzhang had been smooth sailing since joining the army, and finally established his own political power and became the emperor, which is also worthy of the farmer's marriage of his daughter to Zhu Yuanzhang, who has only one side. After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, the farmer's daughter was immediately given the title of noble concubine, and one of the sons was directly named a prince of the party at that time, and the other son, although he was born intelligent, had a bad habit, that is, he liked to drink, and often drank unconscious. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that such an alcoholic, if he held an important position in the imperial court, would only miss a big thing, so he only arranged a small position for him.
But this drunkard, after all, is his father-in-law's son, that is, his brother-in-law, how to say that he can also be regarded as a royal family, so Zhu Yuanzhang thought that he could not let this brother-in-law only hold a small position, which would damage the face of the royal family. So one day later, Zhu Yuanzhang called his brother-in-law to him and said that he wanted to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, but when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to be sealed, an unexpected thing happened. This brother-in-law actually fell to his knees in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, crying and refusing Zhu Yuanzhang's promotion. This caught Zhu Yuanzhang a little off guard, and if ordinary people heard that the emperor was going to promote himself, they might all be happy to close their mouths, but this brother-in-law was unwilling.
So Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry, rushed to him, and asked him: "Don't you think that the position given by Zhu Yuanzhang is too low to enter your eyes?" When Zhu Yuanzhang finished saying these words, he saw that the brother-in-law was frightened and shivered, lying on the ground for half a day before he said a sentence: "The minister is shallow in knowledge, it is really difficult to hold such a heavy position, the minister usually likes to drink a few sips of wine, His Majesty gives such a heavy post, the minister is afraid of missing a big thing, it is really impossible to bear ah, or please Ask Your Majesty to choose another person, let the minister take this small life, the minister drinks a few sips of wine every day, it is enough, and I hope That His Majesty will forgive!" ”
As soon as these words were said, Zhu Yuanzhang never expected that his brother-in-law was so unideal, had no great ambitions, and relied on drinking a few sips of wine to get by on weekdays. So Zhu Yuanzhang also gave up on this, giving the position originally assigned to the brother-in-law to other talented ministers, and asked his father-in-law to choose a few jars of good wine and send it to the brother-in-law's home, so that his brother-in-law, who had no ambition, could drink enough. As soon as this brother-in-law saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had sent so many fine wines to himself, he immediately laughed happily, opened an altar in a hurry, and began to drink, Zhu Yuanzhang saw the situation, sighed, and said: "That's it."
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming Dynasty became more and more perfect, and the surrounding small countries did not dare to invade, so Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to consolidate the imperial power, began to suppress some courtiers with great power in the DPRK, and even sent people to assassinate some of the powerful ministers, firmly holding their power in his own hands. Slowly, the people in the DPRK and China were panicked, and even some people defected to other countries, so Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and punished many people at once, and his brother-in-law was also implicated. However, due to the state of no desire, no desire and no ambition that this brother-in-law showed in his daily life, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that he could not pose any threat, so he spared him punishment and eventually survived.
