Return to Hongwu and Become a Fawning Minister

Being an official in the Hongwu Dynasty was a high-risk industry. Even if you didn't make any mistakes, you might be implicated and lose your head someday. When Su Xun traveled back to Hongwu, he did not feel sorry for himself or break the jar. On the contrary, he boldly followed another path to becoming an official: a sycophant! Flatter Zhu Yuanzhang, follow Zhu Yuanzhang's words and actions, and resolutely follow Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions. In a word, Su Xun is Zhu Yuanzhang's "personal little cotton-padded jacket". When Su Xun was not in court, Zhu Yuanzhang was unhappy, and the ministers were in danger; when Su Xun was in court, Lao Zhu was sunny and kind, and he was still the kind and kind brother.
