明洪武二十二年(1389年)春,解缙进京参加会试,考中进士,授中书庶吉士。明太祖朱元璋知道这位从江西来的矮个子进士不但文才超群,而且从小就会对对,不由得对他特别钟爱。因为朱元璋自己也爱好对对,于是经常宣他进宫,陪自己谈古说今,吟诗作对。老臣纪纲见皇上宠爱解缙,很不服气, In the 22nd year of the Ming Dynasty (1389), Ming Hongwu went to Beijing to participate in the interview. He passed the examination and passed the examination to the scholar. The Ming dynasty emperor Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the short scholar from Jiangxi Province was not only a superior literary talent, but he was right when he was young, and he could not help but particularly love him. Because Zhu Yuanzhang likes to be right, he often declares him into the palace and talks with him about the ancient saying. The senior minister Ji Gang sees the emperor’s favor of reconciliation. He is not convinced.
