太祖皇帝時，俶嘗來朝，厚禮遣還國，俶喜，益以器服珍奇為獻，不可勝數。 Under Emperor Taizu, Chu came to court once. The emperor treated him with great honor and sent him home. Chu rejoiced and redoubled his gifts of vessels, robes, and curios beyond counting.

太祖曰：「此吾帑中物爾，何用獻為！」 Taizu said, "These are already things in my treasury—why offer them at all!"
