In ancient times, every emperor would have a think tank by his side, and its role was obvious. They advised the emperor in formulating strategies to ensure the smooth implementation of policies or decisions; At the same time, they were able to provide important advice on the military side, since wars were frequent in ancient times.
Zhu Yuanzhang had such a think tank during the Yuan Dynasty, and he was Liu Bowen. It is surprising that Zhu Yuanzhang was able to successfully ascend to the throne of God, because he was just a monk at first.
And the story of the golden dragon is actually just a rumor created for his accession to the throne.
Liu Bowen played a key role in this process, and his alternate identity was the "Dragon Slayer Maniac", and he is said to have cut off many dragon veins, some of which had a significant impact on later generations.
The dragon vein, just a superstitious saying in ancient times, is considered to be a winding mountain range with a shape that resembles a dragon, and people usually refer to such mountains as dragon veins. During the period when Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor, people were even more convinced.
In ancient times, it was believed that the dragon veins were hidden characters blessed by the dragon and possessed the ability to change the fate of the country. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was very taboo about the dragon vein after he ascended the throne, and even sent Liu Bowen to find and eliminate the dragon vein.
Eliminating the dragon vein is a difficult task that requires manpower to change the direction of a mountain or river, which is essentially a matter of feng shui. However, the success of eliminating the dragon vein depends on the specific situation on the ground.
When the dragon vein is first formed and the dragon qi is not revealed, it is a way to adjust the direction of the mountains or rivers. But if the dragon vein has formed dragon qi, it means that there is already a dragon vein inheritor here.
In this case, the dragon vein cannot be cut off directly, and other means can only be used to suppress its development. Although these theories are based on Feng Shui and lack scientific basis, they are just manifestations of the superstition and self-comfort of the ancients, but in modern society, few people would believe these claims.
Liu Bowen's life is full of twists and turns and challenges. In ancient times, many people aspired to enter the public service, but the chances of success were slim. Compared with his contemporaries, Liu Bowen may have been lucky to embark on a career in office, but his road was not smooth.
Liu Bowen was a man of many talents, he was good at astronomy, the art of war, and mathematics, and he successfully passed the Jinshi examination. However, his career path has not been smooth, which may be described as "people on the outside want to come in, people on the inside want to go out".
Liu Bowen deeply experienced its sinister nature in officialdom, but it was not common for a man of his calibre to be so versatile, and if he was appreciated by the rulers of the dynasty, he would definitely be reused.
However, for Liu Bowen, officialdom is like a thousand-mile horse that is difficult to find Bole.
Liu Bowen was tired of the intrigue of officialdom and chose to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. However, his low profile did not protect him from being framed by traitors. In order to avoid **, he chose to leave the officialdom.
However, Liu Bowen's talent was not buried, and he was personally hired by Zhu Yuanzhang as a strategist. Liu Bowen's eighteen strategies for current affairs deeply attracted Zhu Yuanzhang, made him attach great importance to Liu Bowen, and appointed him as his adviser.
Before Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen did not receive the attention he deserved, but now he has received great attention from Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang personally invited him to go out of the mountain, which made Liu Bowen full of gratitude to Zhu Yuanzhang.
For Zhu Yuanzhang's orders, Liu Bowen has always done his best to complete them. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to calm the world and formulate a clear plan, which was inseparable from the assistance of Liu Bowen, a strategist.
And now, Liu Bowen, a maxima, finally met his own Bole, they often lead the current situation together, and Zhu Yuanzhang has also praised Liu Bowen as his think tank many times.
In ancient times, people had a very high opinion of Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen, believing that they were the representatives of the military divisions of the previous and later dynasties. Especially during the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen's influence was very great.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang once ordered Liu Bowen to kill the dragon vein, which was to prevent others from competing for the throne. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang's road to the throne was not smooth, and he hoped that his efforts would not be in vain.
Liu Bowen deeply understood Zhu Yuanzhang's worries, so after receiving the order, he immediately started the work of searching for the dragon vein. He found many dragon veins in his life and killed some of them, all in order to consolidate Zhu Yuanzhang's rule.
It can be seen from here that Liu Bowen's loyalty to Zhu Yuanzhang is incomparable. According to the records of his predecessors, Liu Bowen cut off a total of 99 dragon veins for Zhu Yuanzhang, the first of which was located in the Qinghai region of China.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had a dream in which he saw a little boy with a golden dragon and didn't know what it meant. So, he asked Liu Bowen to interpret this dream. After Liu Bowen heard this, he immediately judged that there was a dragon vein forming in the Qinghai area.
Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that the formation of the dragon vein would threaten his rule, so he sent Liu Bowen to kill the dragon vein. Liu Bowen's work was mainly to kill the dragon veins, and this superstitious practice ensured Zhu Yuanzhang's rule to a certain extent.
However, the process of slaying the dragon vein also brought some negative effects, such as changing the terrain, causing drought or flooding in some places. These disasters have a certain relationship with the slaying of dragon veins.
Liu Bowen made many contributions to maintaining the rule during Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, but his end was not satisfactory, and even rumors about his backlash later spread.
These rumors left Liu Bowen extremely depressed, which eventually led to his early death. However, the so-called killing of the dragon vein was only a superstitious concept, and the people at that time were very reverent about the dragon, and the emperor was known as the descendant of the dragon, so the people kept in awe of it.
However, this is actually just a kind of ideological control used by the rulers of the current dynasty to maintain their own ** rule, and there is no scientific basis.
