The so-called Zhu Yuanzhang killed Liu Bowen there is no conclusive evidence, and this matter is also based on the secret story of the wild history and the speculation of the history, Zhu Yuanzhang has a reason to kill Liu Bowen, but there is no evidence of killing Liu Bowen. Liu Bowen's second son Liu Jing was not killed by Zhu Di, but because of his inappropriate speech, he was imprisoned by Zhu Di and hanged himself in prison.
Death of Liu Ji
"After the Heavenly Dao, those who lift up will win, I will wait for the work, why should I not be able to overcome, Mo Ruo pours out the treasury, opens up to sincerity, strengthens the heart of the soldiers, ambushes the soldiers and serves the gaps, wins the victory, and becomes the king, in this move also" - Liu Ji
Liu Bowen is a great talent, and as the folk say, "Zhuge Liang in three parts of the world, liu Bowen in the united country and mountains." However, his role in Zhu Yuanzhang's camp was indeed limited, after all, Liu Bowen was only put into account in 1360 when Zhu Yuanzhang had already occupied the city of Nanjing, and his most outstanding contribution should be to plan for Zhu Yuanzhang to fight Chen Youyu first, and then take Zhang Shicheng's various strategic ideas to break through, and after Chen Youyi attacked Taiping, he strengthened Zhu Yuanzhang's determination to fight Chen Youyu to the death. And Zhu Yuanzhang from the beginning to the founding of the country, and then to the Northern Expedition to unify the world, more dependent on military generals, Liu Bowen's merits were recorded as "participating in military aircraft", so among the six founding dukes, there was only one civil servant Li Shanchang, and then several generals were like clouds, so Liu Bowen's "
Sincerity Bo
"No loss!
Liu Ji's wisdom is just like the folk tradition, and it is not exaggerated to expect things like gods, including the appointment of the chancellor and the three people that Zhu Yuanzhang looks up to
Wang Guangyang, Yang Xian, Hu Weiyong
All are in his words. But perhaps what Zhu Yuanzhang is most afraid of is Liu Ji's wisdom, and the most annoying thing is his outspoken style of doing things.
In this case, Zhu Yuanzhang replaced Li Shanchang as the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang tested whether Liu Bowen could take over the post of chancellor, Liu Bowen first interceded for Li Shanchang's hard work and merit, and then said that Li Shanchang was the pillar of the country, he was a thin wood, and could not replace him. As a monarch, Zhu Yuanzhang could not understand Li Shanchang's hard work and high achievements? There is no need for Liu Bowen to pretend to be generous here! Then he used the meaning of Li Shanchang's dongliang as a metaphor for the Huaixi Peng Party, which means that I can go up, but I have to pull out all the Forces in Huaixi, this is to shake the foundation of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang will not lose big because of small.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang asked Yang Xian how to become a minister, this question is also a typical example of the game of kings and ministers, Yang Xian is indeed a cadre, from the grassroots to the Zhongshu to participate in political affairs, from the dispatch of poverty alleviation to enter the central core circle, it is the fastest person to be promoted in the early Ming Dynasty, but this Yang Xian is exactly the backbone of Liu Bowen's zhejiang eastern faction, Liu Bowen of course will not leave the excuse of pulling the mountain to Zhu Yuanzhang, so he said to Zhu Yuanzhang that Yang Xian "has the talent of a minister, but there is no degree of a minister." Speaking of this, Liu Bowen played the right chess, but then when Zhu Yuanzhang asked Wang Guangyang and Hu Weiyong whether they could serve as ministers, Liu Bowen resolutely gave a negative answer. So the question is, I Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite people can't be the prime minister, this Daming minister has to be chosen by you Liu Bowen? Judging from the historical development, these people were indeed planted in the end, Liu Bowen predicted that it was quite accurate, and his bluntness may be for the sake of Daming Jiangshan, but the suspicious Zhu Yuanzhang did not necessarily think so.
In 1367, as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang had established Wu, Liu Bowen suggested that Zhu Yuanzhang write an edict on the grounds of observing the heavens. At a time when there was a severe drought in the world, Liu Bowen again demanded a retrial of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases on the grounds that Zhu Yuanzhang had killed innocents indiscriminately. From here, Liu Bowen's original intention was good, to win the hearts and minds of the people, but as far as the monarch is concerned, such suggestions are all in the heart, indicating that Zhu Yuanzhang is not a Ming Jun, and no monarch will be happy with such advice. But it is precisely because of Liu Bowen's outspokenness that it has become the prototype of a special political group in the Ming Dynasty, that is, yanguan.
In his view, the politics of the Song and Yuan dynasties were too lenient to the point of subjugation, so Liu Ji had been committed to rectifying the Gangji in the early Ming Dynasty, and when Zhu Yuanzhang went out on a parade, he and Li Shanchang stayed in the capital and ordered Yushi not to have any scruples when reporting impeachment, and all officials who committed mistakes were to play Zhu Biao, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and severely punished. Among them, the fact that Li Bin, the governor of Zhongshu Province, was punished and beheaded caused Li Shanchang's dissatisfaction, and the contradiction between the two broke out, and thus began to squeeze Liu Ji together with Huaixi officials headed by Li Shanchang. Just when Liu Ji's "asking for rain" was not scolded by Zhu Yuanzhang, and because his wife died at this time, Liu Ji resigned and returned to his hometown.
"When Ji was ill in Beijing, he only came with a doctor, drank his medicine, and had something in his stomach like a fist stone. Later, zhongcheng Tujie was the first to rebel and said that its poison base caused death. --History of the Ming Dynasty
In the first month of 1375, Liu Ji was infected with wind and cold, and after Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it, he sent Hu Weiyong to visit with the imperial doctor. This personnel arrangement has indeed left doubts for future generations, Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang have always been at odds with Liu Ji, and moreover, many events in history have proved that Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Hu Weiyong's Huaixi forces and Eastern Zhejiang forces to balance, is this kind of juncture for Hu Weiyong to visit the core figures of the Eastern Zhejiang forces, is it ulterior motives? If it is to show the attention of the imperial court, isn't Prince Zhu Biao's teacher, Hanlin University scholar Song Lian, also a good choice? Song Lian is also Liu Ji's best friend!
The imperial doctor brought by Hu Weiyong prescribed medicine for Liu Ji, and after he grabbed the medicine and took it as soon as he took it, he felt that his abdomen was squeezed like a stone, which was very painful. By the middle of February, Liu Ji was still sick and visited Zhu Yuanzhang, and gently told Zhu Yuanzhang that Hu Weiyong had brought the imperial doctor to visit his own discomfort symptoms. But Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude did not care, but only told Liu Ji to be relieved and recuperate. By the end of March, Liu Bowen had left for his hometown from Beijing and died in his hometown on the 16th day of the 16th month of the lunar calendar, at the age of 65. According to Tu Jie's denunciation, it was Hu Weiyong who ordered the imperial doctor to poison Liu Ji, but was this incident Hu Weiyong's own behavior or Zhu Yuanzhang's hint? After all, Tu Jie should be reduced as the first indictment, but in the end he was silenced, is this another move that Zhu Yuanzhang is unwilling to implement?
Death of Liu Jing
Liu Jing was Liu Ji's second son, according to the History of Ming, "
The weak crown passes through the scriptures
Liu Jing also proved that the tiger father has no dog. After Liu Ji's death, Liu Jing still served in the Ming court, and was praised by Zhu Yuanzhang for his strategy of suppressing thieves."
Jing Zhen Berwyn Er
”。 Zhu Di also played chess with Liu Jing, liu Jing did not let him, and Zhu Di also knew his talent.
During the Battle of Jingnan, Liu Jing's proposal to Zhu Yunwen was not adopted, and Li Jinglong did not adopt Liu Jing's strategy, so he resigned and returned to his hometown. After Zhu Di became emperor, he remembered this able man who did not meet Huai Cai, according to Cheng zu's idea, you can't be reused under Zhu Yunwen, and now that I reuse you, you should be grateful to Dade for serving me! However, in the eyes of Heavenly Fulfillment, Liu Jing only had Emperor Jianwen and no Ming Chengzu. When Zhu Di summoned Liu Jing to join the army, Liu Jing's attitude was"
Weigh the disease is not coming
”。
When Zhu Di had Liu Jing arrested him, Liu Jing still addressed Zhu Di as His Highness and said"
After a hundred lifetimes of His Highness, he could not escape the word 'usurpation'
This sentence pierced into Zhu Di's heart. Zhu Di had originally launched the "Jing Difficulty" in an unjustified name, and it was the time to win people's hearts, and if Liu Jing had been calling him sick, Zhu Di would have been unable to do anything about it, and would not have been forced too urgently. But the words of usurpation out of the mouth is to challenge Zhu Di's limits, this is a matter of nature with Fang Xiaoru, if you only recognize Qianjun, that is sincere and I can't get along, fortunately, Liu Jing was only imprisoned, it was his own hanging, when the court had a word to sit on his clan, Zhu Di refused on the grounds that Liu Bowen's credit to Daming.
Liu Bowen's life of righteousness, coupled with extraordinary wisdom, left behind the ancient reputation of "Lide, Meritorious Service, and Speech", and his son Liu Jing also inherited his father's upright disposition, although it is a pity that they all died, but they were posthumously honored and praised in later generations, which can also be regarded as history's feedback to the righteous people!
