Available information shows that Liu Bowen's descendants had two sons, one of Liu Bowen's eldest sons, who clashed with the Hu Weiyong faction and was eventually persecuted and fell into a well.
There was also a son named Liu Jing, who swore not to enter the dynasty because of the usurpation of the throne by Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and bluntly said that the king of Yan would write the annals of history forever with the usurpation of the throne, and was arrested and imprisoned, and committed suicide in prison.
Before Liu Bowen died, he told his son: Ruthless is the most imperial family, and it is prudent to enter the middle hall of the dynasty in this life; living a peaceful life is a blessing, and fame and fortune are all disasters.
Don't be an official again, and don't let your descendants become officials, otherwise it will be very unfavorable to the Liu family.
He warned the descendants of the Liu family not to learn the art of the emperor, and at the same time instructed the eldest son to bury the book "The Strange Scheme of a Hundred Battles" that he had made all his life.
The reason why Liu Bowen had such a last word was because he knew that there were too many people he had offended in the imperial court, and it was impossible for their descendants of the Liu family to mix in the imperial court, so he instructed his descendants to stay away from the official field.
Before Liu Bowen's death, he saw it very thoroughly, and he also knew that he would leave a legacy for his descendants after his death, so Qian Dingda and Wan instructed him not to learn the "Art of Wang Zuo" again, but the two sons had a very high self-esteem, and really did not listen to it, and finally failed to live up to Liu Bowen's expectations and did not escape the fate of tragic death.
When the two sons died, the Liu family's desire for the inheritance of incense fell on the grandson Liu Liu.
In this way, Liu Bowen's grandson Liu Li inherited the title of Chengyi Bo, but Liu Li was stripped of his title because of his words, and liu Jia's title of Chengyi Bo was severed.
Liu Liao remembered his grandfather's words, and from then on, he closed the door and thanked guests, immersed himself in sorting out his grandfather's works, and spent a peaceful life.
