After becoming emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang paid more attention to discipline, because he always felt that his throne was not practical, which can be seen from the fact that he trained a large number of royal guards to collect information.
At that time, most of the heroes around Zhu Yuanzhang were his fellow villagers. They fought with him for many years, and they felt like brothers. There was nothing before they proclaimed themselves emperor, but after they proclaimed themselves emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to beat some of these great heroes, so that they would not be proud of themselves.
After some calculation, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to invite these people to dinner to see their attitude towards himself from the dining table. Under the emperor's orders, those ministers who dare not obey
all thought that Zhu Yuanzhang could cook a lot of delicious food, so on the day of the banquet, the ministers arrived at the place early, exchanging pleasantries with each other and waiting for the arrival of delicious food.
Soon after, the dishes were served, and ministers saw that there were only four vegetarian dishes and a pot of tofu soup, which was extremely light. At first, the ministers thought it was just an appetizer, and the really delicious food had not been served, but soon they found that their ideas were wrong, because Zhu Yuanzhang took the lead in moving chopsticks.
People in China have a lot of table manners. Generally, the most prestigious person moves chopsticks first, and then others can eat them. Generally, this kind of large-scale banquet does not move chopsticks until all the dishes are served.
This meal, these heroes can be described as extremely unhappy. After all, there are many people and few dishes, and they are all vegetarian dishes. However, after the dinner, smart people like Xu Da and Liu Bowen understood Zhu Yuanzhang's intention, and when they got back, they converged a lot, while some who were a little slow still went their own way, which eventually led to fatal disaster.
