Zhu Yuanzhang sealed his brother-in-law's office. Why did my brother-in-law refuse, just asking for drinks?

Zhu Yuanzhang's brother-in-law is Guo Decheng and his sister is Guo Ningfei. Zhu Yuanzhang loves her very much. When Zhu Yuanzhang proposed to make him an official, Guo Decheng refused because of his lack of ability. He said he just wanted to have his own wine to drink. It is better to give him some wine money than to seal the official position. He is not smart enough and very clumsy. If he becomes an official, he can't do anything good for the people and may even make many mistakes. After listening to Guo Decheng's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang was actually very happy. He feels that he is a person who doesn't love fame and wealth or lust for power.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was a very powerful emperor in history. He founded the Ming Dynasty, expelled ethnic minorities, solved riots, unified the Chinese nation and abolished the racial hierarchy established by Mongols. However, Zhu Yuanzhang in history is still full of doubts, and handling cases is also ruthless. Perhaps this is the decisive battle that a successful emperor must have.

For example, the famous Hu case involved many officials, and even some founding heroes who accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang to make the country famous were killed. The dead Guo Xing was also knighted, but he saved a person in this unjust case.

This is what Guo Decheng just mentioned. At this time, people realized that Guo Decheng's rejection of Zhu Yuanzhang's official position was justified. In fact, he is the smartest person, and he refused only to save his life. So, it's not that he is incompetent or not smart enough. On the contrary, he is very clever. He knew Zhu Yuanzhang's character and his paranoia, so he refused to be an official from the beginning, and he could live longer away from power.
