Liu Bowen's deathbed prophecy of nine generations of geniuses was fulfilled a hundred years later
In Qingtian County, Zhejiang Province, there lived a young man named Liu Bowen, who was intelligent and cunning since childhood, and was especially fascinated by sage books, history, and martial arts. At the age of 17, he began to study under the masters of science Cheng Zhu and Zheng Fuchu, and began to systematically study classics, learning the art of war, astronomy, geography, etc., and was also one"Prodigy"。The elders of the village praised him"Prodigy", gifted.
Young talents in Zhejiang Province.
Liu Bowen silently flipped through the books, occasionally reading aloud, and then thought for a moment. In the ink, there are often inscriptions on the art of war and in-depth analysis of ancient and modern tactics. Villagers often saw him alone on the rocks looking at the mountains and water, apparently studying the effects of the terrain on the army.
Liu Bowen learned martial arts at the age of 17, but he was not satisfied with talking on paper, but wanted to see the real battlefield. He began to travel around the world, visiting famous generals and teachers, and learning practical experience. Liu Bowen traveled around the world and gained extensive knowledge and understanding of the art of war. In the course of his travels, he added many details that were not recorded in the books.
At the age of 23, Liu Bowen was ambitious and went to Beijing to take the exam. Since he was a child, he has vowed to do something for his country, and now it is finally time to serve his country. Before leaving, the elders of the village came to cheer him on, encouraging him to be down-to-earth, work hard, not afraid of difficulties, and use his virtues to win glory for his hometown. Liu Bowen humbly accepted the kindness of the old people, and his heart was full of excitement to serve the people.
He finished high school at the top of his class. Liu Bowen thinks it's time to show his talents, but he doesn't know that the corrupt Yuan Dynasty has been torn apart and falling apart. This is very different from his deep impression of the Yuan Dynasty from books.
Soon after arriving in the capital, Liu Bowen discovered that the imperial court was corrupt. ** In power, politicians are extravagant, and the people are miserable. Liu Bowen is an upright person and is not used to this kind of decadence. He thinks he can help a weak country, but he can't bear to be in the company of ** filthy officials.
After careful consideration, Liu Bowen decided to leave his post and return to his hometown. He could not accept the ugly behavior of the imperial court, and did not want to be involved in the greed and filth of officialdom. Although he gave up the opportunity to be promoted, the rotten wood could not be carved. Liu Bowen, who has the world in mind, realized that if he wanted to serve the country, he could not deviate from his honest conscience.
At home, Liu Bowen was worried. He was talented and happy, how could he be silent? The elders of the village praised him for his talent and predicted that he would get ahead in the future. As a result, Liu Bowen began to make friends with talents in the form of apprenticeship, and soon became famous"Zhejiang Four Sages"One.
The draft changed the fate of the world.
This year, the shepherd Zhu Yuanzhang came to Zhejiang. Originally the son of a poor peasant, Zhu Yuanzhang later joined Guo Zixing's rebel army and gradually gained a foothold on the battlefield. After Guo Zixing's death, Zhu Yuanzhang established his own family based in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and his power gradually grew.
After conquering Nanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang's ambitions became even greater. He issued orders to recruit talented people to help him in his work. Perhaps out of caution, the little shepherd boy stood out in the war. When this order reached Liu Bowen's ears, he felt that this might be an opportunity to turn over.
Liu Bowen met with Zhu Yuanzhang. Liu Bowen analyzed the current political situation for Zhu Yuanzhang and proposed"First Chen Youliang, then Zhang Shicheng"Zhu Yuanzhang appreciated the strategy. Liu Bowen saw that although Zhu Yuanzhang was born poor, he had great courage and ambitions, and if he could conquer the world, he would be able to turn decay into magic.
Liu Bowen then assisted Zhu Yuanzhang in his expansion and participated in the development of a strategic plan to attack important strongholds of the Yuan Dynasty. Under Liu Bowen's planning, Zhu Yuanzhang conquered many important cities one after another, and his national strength increased day by day. Thus, he laid an important foundation for the later unification of the country.
After Liu Bowen conquered the city, he personally walked through the city to see if the structure and terrain of the city were easy to defend and difficult to attack. He also visited the people to learn about the behavior of the enemy army. Liu Bowen often slept in the same tent with the army, watching the stars at night and observing the situation. It is this kind of attention that makes Liu Bowen's strategy clever and difficult to defend.
In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang, with the help of Liu Bowen and other strategists, finally overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and established the Ming Empire. Liu Bowen was appointed as one of the founding heroes for his meritorious service to the founding of the country. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liu Bowen had only joy and pride in his heart, but he did not expect that the conflict in the Ming Dynasty would be so cruel and ruthless, which eventually led to his untimely death.
Liu Bowen went through many hardships during the Ming Dynasty.
After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen was appointed as the Imperial History Zhongcheng and was responsible for supervising hundreds of officials. With his honest and decisive style, he repeatedly dismissed ** corrupt officials and offended many powerful people. This laid a hidden danger for his political career.
On the other hand, at the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, the eastern Zhejiang forces represented by Liu Bowen clashed with the Huaixi forces led by Li Shanchang. The two factions compete with each other, forming a complex political ecology. Although Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang were both heroes of the founding of the country, they clashed due to different regional interests.
Liu Bowen has skillfully avoided danger many times. But gradually, he felt powerless. Obviously, Hu Weiyong has the upper hand on behalf of the Huaixi forces, and Liu Bowen's situation is becoming more and more difficult. The old brothers in the palace became political enemies, and Liu Bowen was very tired.
Liu Bowen is busy with complicated official duties during the day, and looks up at the starry sky alone at night, reminiscing about his heroic dreams. Now that he has achieved fame, he has to face an unbearable political conspiracy, and he can't help but sigh that the years are like a boat and life is like a dream.
Liu Bowen died of poisoning in his later years.
In 712 AD, Liu Bowen suddenly became seriously ill. When Zhu Yuanzhang learned about it, he sent an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him. However, Hu Weiyong secretly bribed the imperial doctor to add chronic poison to the prescription.
Liu Bowen's body became weaker and weaker, but he couldn't understand Hu Weiyong's conspiracy for a while. When he found out the truth, it was too late, and he had to tell his sons what was in his heart before he died.
Before Liu Bowen died, he sighed and said to his two sons:"After I die, you must save your life and do not look at those who mock me as enemies. After nine generations, my Liu family will definitely prosper again, so you just wait for the good news. "He firmly believed that justice would eventually triumph over darkness, and although he failed once, he never lost hope.
After Hu Weiyong's death, Liu Bowen's eldest son, in accordance with the instructions of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, presented Liu Bowen's insights to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to reward him, but he refused. His son chose a lazy and comfortable old age.
After Liu Bowen's death, the villagers felt the same way. Liu Bowen was benevolent and sympathetic to all the people during his lifetime. The villagers privately discussed that Liu Bowen's death must be related to the betrayal of the court. They believe that the sky net is magnificent, and the traitors will eventually be punished.
Justice was slowly trampled underfoot, and Liu Bowen's case was finally solved.
Although Liu Bowen's family lived a peaceful life after his death, they were not treated fairly. During the Jiajing period, the imperial court investigated and handled many unjust cases, including the murder of Liu Bowen.
After investigation, the imperial court determined that Liu Bowen was unjustly killed, which is a stain that history can never erase. In order to make amends for the grievances, the Jiajing Emperor restored Liu Bowen's reputation, and Liu Bowen was entitled to the Taimiao to ensure the justice and integrity of the country.
Liu Bowen's family has been waiting for this day to come. They greeted the emperor, but they were only relieved in their hearts. Long-standing lies have been debunked, and justice has been served, albeit belatedly. Liu Bowen's reputation was restored, and his soul was at peace.
At the same time, Liu Bowen's ninth grandson, Liu Yu, succeeded him and became the state vicar. This also fulfilled Liu Bowen's prophecy: nine generations later, the Liu family's family business was really inherited, and the descendants of the Liu family won. The villagers rejoiced at the prosperity of the Liu family and sighed that Liu Bowen was really wise and martial.
Although Liu Bowen was the founder of the Ming Dynasty, he unfortunately died young in the struggle of the Ming Dynasty. But history will not forget him, and his integrity and wisdom will shine forever. Today's great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation must also cherish the memory of these sages who served the country and the people.
We believe that no matter how history changes, justice and light will eventually triumph over darkness. The spirit of Liu Bowen will always guide the Chinese nation forward. China will surely regain its vitality, and Liu Bowen's long-cherished wish will surely come true.
