Liu Ji, the word Bowen, a native of Zhejiang, is talented and intelligent, and it is said that he can do all seven things. At the age of 12, he was admitted to the show, and his parents in the countryside called him a "prodigy". On the battlefield, Liu Bowen was strategic, decisive victory thousands of miles away, and played a key role in winning with extremely accurate judgment in many important decisions. He proposed to Zhu Yuanzhang to avoid two-front warfare and break through each strategy, and helped him establish Chen Ji, which made great contributions to the founding of the Ming Empire, and was Zhu Yuanzhang's first strategist to seize the world and establish the Ming Dynasty.
However, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen only got the title of second-class earl, which indirectly shows that too much Zhu Yuanzhang's relationship is not so good. What's even more incredible is that Liu Bowen finally died in Huangquan, and he had an inexplicable relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang. Even though he was dominant on the battlefield, while making great contributions, he also laid a hidden danger for the end of his life.
Liu Bowen is like a god, and his judgment of things is often more accurate than Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang was already jealous of his ability, how could he keep someone stronger than him by his side for a long time. Zhu Yuanzhang is a very suspicious emperor, he has been very jealous of these courtiers who have followed him since the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially the leader Liu Bowen, who has become a big trouble in his heart, and Zhu Yuanzhang is very wary of him.
Liu Bowen's most fatal mistake was verified"Woe comes from the mouth"Proverbs. Zhu Yuanzhang once talked to Liu Bowen about who was more suitable for the post of prime minister, and there was a temptation in his words. When Liu Bowen vetoed Zhu Yuanzhang's candidates one by one, Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to say meaningfully that only Liu Bowen could take on this big responsibility, Liu Bowen said:"The ministers are too evil, and they can't bear the drama, so they live up to their kindness. There is no talent in the world, but the Lord asks for it carefully. "
What kind of deep meaning does this remark contain, so that Zhu Yuanzhang has completely broken with Liu Bowen since then, which has always been a difficult mystery to solve. Maybe it was Zhu Yuanzhang's prejudice, or maybe it was the misreading of later generations, in short, it was regarded as Liu Bowen's life-saving talisman, which laid the groundwork for his sudden death later.
As for the cause of Liu Bowen's death, it is also an inexplicable mystery. In the first month of the eighth year of Hongwu (1375), Liu Bowen was sick at home, and Zhu Yuanzhang sent Hu Weiyong to visit him and sent him tonics. Liu Bowen took tonics, but his condition did not improve but became more and more serious, and he died soon after. Although"poisoned and murdered Liu Bowen"It was also one of Hu Weiyong's later crimes, but this was more like the practice of killing people and killing people, but with Hu Weiyong's power and situation at that time, it was really difficult to be so arrogant and domineering, which had to make people guess that he was acquiesced by Zhu Yuanzhang, and even this was Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention to borrow the hands of others to get rid of the big trouble.
Nearly a thousand years have passed, and the above may be nothing more than speculation submerged in the vast sea of history. I'm afraid it's no longer difficult to verify the facts, so let's leave it to the infinite reverie of those who have a heart.
