Zhu Yuanzhang traveled incognito and attended a wedding in a daze, and the result was calculated by the groom.

Zhu Yuanzhang was an emperor born in poverty, and he was very concerned about the sufferings of the people. After he ascended the throne, he often went to observe people's feelings. Once he came to Yangzhou incognito, with only a few bodyguards around him. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was dressed in casual clothes and no one knew him. Just when he arrived in the suburbs of Yangzhou and was ready to find a place to rest, he suddenly saw a group of people coming.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked in, only to find that this was a wedding procession. However, Zhu Yuanzhang stepped forward and found a strange-looking man in front of the wedding procession, dark in height and ugly in appearance. Zhu Yuanzhang felt very strange. Why did he let such an ugly person go first on such a festive day as marriage?

In order to explain the mystery in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang followed the team to the groom's house. It turns out that the groom's family is very rich and luxurious, which makes Zhu Yuanzhang even more puzzled. Since he is so rich, who is the ugly man in front of the wedding procession? But when Zhu Yuanzhang looked for him again, he couldn't find it.

So Zhu Yuanzhang also entered the groom's house. It was a festive day, and the groom naturally came to everything. The groom's house doesn't look like a mortal, and it is also a good entertainment for him. Zhu Yuanzhang came in to find the black-faced man, and suddenly he saw it in a corner. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to go over and ask who he was, but suddenly he saw a black-faced man hiding his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang just woke up. It turns out that black-faced people are not people, but ghosts. When the ancients got married, they would definitely choose a good day, and generally let the fortune teller calculate. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little angry. Which fortuneteller chose to marry the groom, so unlucky, hit a ghost. So he found the groom and wanted to ask who helped him choose a good day.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's extraordinary temperament, the groom did not dare to neglect his visit, so he called an old man and said that he had chosen today as an auspicious day for his wedding. Zhu Yuanzhang drank the wine and asked, "You regard today as an auspicious day for others to get married. Why are there ghosts?" The old man replied unhurriedly, "I calculated that although a nigger came to Yin Shi today, a purple star came at the same time. Everything will be fine, and the host family will be blessed instead of suffering."

In ancient times, the purple star was usually where the emperor was. Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that his identity had been exposed, but he still pretended as if nothing had happened and said, "Since you are so powerful, I will write a couplet to see if you can say it: The Fuehrer stays with him."

The old man smiled: "Let the groom come to this couplet?" So the groom blurted out, "Wei Zixing takes care of Wei Zilang." Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "This is the talent of Hanlin!" It turns out that the groom is a scholar, so he is very talented. Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang say this, the old man immediately asked the groom to kneel down and give thanks. The groom bowed knowingly and was appointed as an academician.

This is a folk story, so later there was a saying that "Taizu drank a wedding banquet and gave an official".
