The ministers wore shabby clothes when they went to court. Zhu Yuanzhang praised him as an upright official. Why did Liu Bowen say, "This person cannot be retained?"

The shabby clothes worn by ministers in court are an illusion. They are just a show for Zhu Yuanzhang. In essence, this is deceiving the monarch and is disloyal to the monarch. Therefore, Liu Bowen said, "This person Can’t stay”. This minister was Zhang Chang, the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had long noticed that Zhang Chang had a tendency to be disloyal, but Zhang Chang was too capable. The Ming Dynasty had just been established and needed talents like Zhang Chang. He came to build the country, so Zhu Yuanzhang kept him.

Zhang Chang is a very smart man. He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was a farmer and knew that he liked frugal people, so he deliberately wore tattered clothes to go to court to show off. But this behavior is too much. If a minister is dressed like this, what kind of life should the people of the Ming Dynasty live? Liu Bowen can see that Zhang Chang is showing off, and Zhu Yuanzhang can also see it, but at this time Zhang Chang There was still value in using him, so Zhu Yuanzhang did not deal with him.

Zhang Chang turned out to be an old minister of the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, he came to negotiate with Zhu Yuanzhang on behalf of the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this man was very capable. After being nudged hard, Zhang Chang stayed in Zhu Yuanzhang's tent. Zhang Chang also made a huge contribution to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. Many of the national policies of the Ming Dynasty were drafted and formulated by him. This kind of talent is exactly what Zhu Yuanzhang needs.

But Zhang Chang still missed the Yuan Dynasty in his later years, and there were many books about the Yuan Dynasty at home. Zhu Yuanzhang was very afraid of this. Later, someone reported that there was a counter-written letter hidden in Zhang Chang's home, which said, "I am in the south of the Yangtze River, and my mind is in the north." This actually means missing the original Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry when he saw it. In the end, Zhang Chang was arrested. put to death.
