The most difficult emperor in history wants to be an official for his brother-in-law Why did his brother-in-law resolutely refuse?

This brother-in-law is Guo Decheng and this emperor is Zhu Yuanzhang. The reason why this brother-in-law is so unwilling to be an official is because he really knows his eldest brother Zhu Yuanzhang too well. If he becomes an official, he may lose his life and give up. It's not easy to say that Zhu Chongba was an emperor. Let's say this founding monarch, even if his background is very low, it was not only luck but also his own efforts that later established the Ming Dynasty.

It is precisely because of his difficulty in establishing hegemony that he cherishes this hard-won throne, and his sensitivity and paranoia in his later period are not difficult to understand. Guo Decheng has known Zhu Yuanzhang for many years, and his sister was also given as a concubine after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne. Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to seal his brother-in-law, but when talking with Guo Decheng, Guo Decheng actually knelt down for Zhu Yuanzhang. Besides, I'm not interested in being an official. I just want to be an ordinary person and have a drink.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy after hearing this. He didn't expect that there were people who were not interested in being an official. So I continued to eat and drink with Guo Decheng. I was very happy at first, but then something happened and broke this wonderful time.

The thing is, after the two were drunk, Guo Decheng said that he had too much hair and wanted to shave it off. Didn't Zhu Yuanzhang work as a monk, so Guo Decheng immediately realized that he was wrong and really became a monk, so Zhu Yuanzhang let him go. It is really a tiger with a gentleman! Although Guo Decheng became a monk, he was much better than those who were sealed by Zhu Yuanzhang before liquidation.
