Zhu Yuanzhang beheaded the hero, and Liu Bowen saved his life with a poem. Passed down through the ages, witty words escape
After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, the excellent Liu Bowen felt threatened and was unwilling to participate in the court discussions, so he withdrew. However, Zhu Yuanzhang still suspected that Liu Bowen had changed his mind, so he went to his house to investigate. At the critical moment, Liu Bowen wittily left a life-saving proverb at the entrance of the village, which has been passed down through the ages. As a result, people were even more amazed by Liu Bowen's strategy and the ingenuity of this unusual plan.
This history tells the story of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Bowen, the great strategist. How did Zhu Yuanzhang rise from a poor man to dominate the world, and how did Liu Bowen help him achieve great things and save his life with a song when he had doubts? Today, the song has become a kind of legacy, and the story is worth watching.
in Chinese characters"one"radical (Kangxi radical 1).
Hongwu three years, rural Jiangnan.
Uncle Zhang, a villager, was basking in the sun on the stone bench at the entrance of the village, when he suddenly saw a young man who looked like a scholar hurriedly approaching.
It's not Elder Liu, why are you running around alone? "Zhang Dabao bowed.
The young man smiled vaguely and did not stop:"Good afternoon, Uncle Mukhtar, I'm going out for a walk and getting some fresh air. "
Zhang Bo nodded, watching the young man go away. "Wait, Liu Jinshi seems to have changed his name to Liu Bowen. "
This young man, Liu Bowen, was indeed a great strategist in the early years of the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Bowen joined Zhu Yuanzhang's team at the beginning of Zhu Yuanzhang's army, and with his superb political skills, he helped Zhu Yuanzhang eradicate dissidents and stabilize the country's situation. Before Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and became emperor, Liu Bowen was a prominent Zuo Prime Minister and King of Han in the imperial court.
However, Zhang Dabao never saw Liu Xiangguo appear in court again. Not only that, the Liu family seemed to be calmer a bit, and the subordinates no longer heard laughter, but walked around with low eyebrows.
How is Servant Liu? "Uncle Zhang asked one of Liu's servants.
Let me tell you again, my landlord has retired and returned to the country, the huge estate is unattended, and we have to find a new job to support ourselves. "The servant replied in a low voice.
Uncle Zhang scratched his head, doubts rose in his heart. Liu Bowen is the first strategist and heir of the dynasty, how could he suddenly disappear? Maybe he offended the emperor and was dismissed? He couldn't think of a reason.
Uncle Zhang thought about it and just shook his head. It's hard to guess what the Son of Heaven thinks, but he is an ordinary person and should have been less concerned with other people's affairs.
Two. Contrary to Zhang Bo's speculation, Liu Bowen did not really retire.
After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, Liu Bowen believed that the situation was full of dangers. In his eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart seemed abnormal and suspicious. Coupled with his success and fame, which caused the jealousy of others, he walked on thin ice.
As a result, Liu Bowen began to secretly plot a conspiracy, first resigning to avoid suspicion, and deliberately concealing the false appearance of a serious illness. However, he also knows that this does not really make Zhu Yuanzhang relax his vigilance, he is still at the end of his rope, and the lessons of history have fully reminded him that he must be cautious.
Sir, what are you going to do next? "The servant of the Liu family asked cautiously.
Liu Bowen said solemnly"I thought about it and decided to simulate my death first. Start preparing now, remember, every detail has to create a real atmosphere of my death. "
Be. "The servant retreated, and Liu Bowen thought alone.
He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would not let go of this suspicion and would definitely come to investigate. When the time comes, it will not be easy for him to escape, so he must secretly prepare just in case.
In the end, Liu Bowen had an idea. He wrote a poem on paper with a pen and engraved it on the rock at the entrance of the village. This is his second-hand preparation and will be his lifeline.
Okay, everything is ready. "Liu Bowen nodded, his expression calm, and he was ready for everything.
Three surname scriptures. Liu Bowen"Died of illness"That night, there was a lot of noise in the palace.
Your Majesty, the minister received a report that Liu Bowen is dead! "The bailiff reported enthusiastically.
Such a coincidence, there must be something greasy in it. "Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said:"I will personally investigate the truth of this matter! "
Seeing this, the chief guard said"If it is, wouldn't it be better for Your Majesty to go in person, and I would like to take someone to go there. "
No big deal. I decided, you and the soldiers will be divided into two groups, one group will investigate the Liu family, and the other group will accompany me to the village. "
Be. "The captain of the guard replied.
That night, Zhu Yuanzhang came alone to the village where Liu Bowen lived. He did not make a big move to stop Liu Bowen and his party from hiding the body, but disguised himself as an ordinary peasant looking for a way out in the cold wind.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked towards the entrance of the village, and suddenly saw a big stone under the tree on the side of the road, which was carefully engraved with several big characters.
He walked quickly to a stone he recognized in the moonlight and saw the inscription on it.
In the world, why hide in your bags? How many heroes have died in history, and how many people have disappeared.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a long time, clenched his fists, and gradually relaxed. As if thinking of something, he turned back and did not take another step forward.
The next day at Liu's house.
What, Your Majesty came looking for you, and then suddenly left? "Liu Bowen was surprised"What did he do? "
His Majesty stood in front of the stones at the entrance of the village for only a few minutes, then turned and went back, without going deeper into the village"。
It seems that my ingenuity has paid off. "Liu Bowen smiled suddenly in realization.
After reading this poem, Zhu Yuanzhang understood Liu Bowen's intentions. He was going to investigate the cause of the king's death, and if he took it by force, it would only break people's hearts. Liu Bowen used this poem to remind himself not to act rashly, as a way to show his loyalty to the monarch. When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this strategy, he was relieved and spared Liu Bowen's life.
My lord is really a divine comedy, this song saved our family! "The Liu family knelt down and thanked one after another.
Liu Bowen waved his hand and said with a smile"I'm just improvising, but please don't spread the song so as not to cause offend. "
Time flies.
The Ming Dynasty was in the middle of the period, and the current emperor was Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Di was very surprised to hear that his ancestors had tried to harm Liu Bowen.
In the wisdom and martial arts of my ancestors, this trick is really rare. Thankfully, Lord Liu's poems saved me and saved me from making a big mistake. "
Zhu Di had planned to erect a monument in front of Liu Bowen's tomb to praise him, and also engraved a poem on the monument to commemorate him. Since then, Liu Bowen's story has become a good story, and Liu Bowen's ballad has become a swan song for the ages.
Today, the slate at the entrance of the village can no longer be found. However, this song remained in the memory of people at the time and became a good story in the history books.
Whenever talking about this past, people are all amazed by Liu Bowen's wisdom. Sitting in the car, in the face of this history, the changes cannot but be said to be incredible, Liu Gong is really crying!
There are many heroes in the world, but only the best readers"。
An old man whispers in his grandson's ear.
Grandpa, what does that mean? "The boy asked.
This is what our ancestor Liu Bowen said, remember? "The old man said softly.
Remember grandpa, when I grow up, I will also study like Lord Bowen! "The boy's eyes lit up.
Well done, my boy! "The old man smiled and patted him on the head.
Time flies, years change. Although the legend of Liu Gong has passed away, his wisdom and humor have been passed down from generation to generation, inspiring future generations to rise to the challenge and move forward bravely.
Liu Bowen and his poetry will forever shine with the light of wisdom in the memory of history.
