During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang, the shu han chancellor, has always been regarded as the embodiment of wisdom in the folk, and is known as "the dragon of the ancients" and "the sage of wisdom". In the thousands of years of history, there are only a few people who can be compared with Zhuge Liang's talent and morality, and Liu Bowen, the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, is one of them. The historical Liu Bowen, although not as fascinating and earth-shattering as in the legend of Yanyi, he has four talents, which is enough to make him one of the famous courtiers throughout the ages.
Liu Bowen's first talent was his extraordinary literary talent, his famous work "The Words of the Seller of Oranges" was once selected into the language textbook, and the anthology "Yu Ion" can be called a representative work in the history of Ming Dynasty literature. The second talent is his military strategy. In the arduous process of Zhu Yuanzhang's creation of Daming, Liu Bowen, with his extraordinary insight and superhuman courage and wisdom, repeatedly offered ideas and suggestions at the shutdown moment to help Zhu Yuanzhang reverse the situation. The book "A Hundred Battles and Strange Strategies" left by him enjoys a very high status in the history of the art of war. It can be said that his ingenious plan is an indispensable and important guarantee for Zhu Yuanzhang to stabilize the world.
Liu Bowen's third talent is that he is proficient in the study of yin and yang, that is, the uncertain prophet in the eyes of the ancients, who is like a god, seemingly mysterious, but in fact, it is also the result of his profound knowledge and precise judgment and rich practical experience. The fourth talent is that he is proficient in the way of governing the country and the people, and after the founding of the country, during his tenure as the imperial historian, he was selfless and selfless, and made great contributions to the rectification of the government in the early Ming Dynasty.
However, although Liu Bowen is brilliant and brilliant, there are still people in the world who can fight him and let his family die, which is simply the disaster star of his fate. The History of the Ming Dynasty records that Zhu Yuanzhang had a conversation with Liu Bowen about who would serve as the chancellor of the Ming Empire. Zhu Yuanzhang successively said that Yang Xian, Wang Guangyang, Hu Weiyong and several others were vetoed by Liu Bowen, believing that they all had various defects.
When it comes to Hu Weiyong, Liu Bowen's evaluation is 8 words: "For example, driving, afraid of his rumbles." This means that if Hu Weiyong were to do it, I am afraid that he would have to overturn the car. Liu Bowen was completely outspoken out of public conscience, and had no intention of deliberately squeezing out and attacking anyone, because his friend Yang Xian was also ruthlessly vetoed by him. However, Zhu Yuanzhang was half-convinced of his loyalty, and finally made Hu Weiyong the prime minister.
Liu Bowen did not expect that this conversation had laid the foundation for himself. Although Hu Weiyong has a certain talent, in his bones he is a villain who is addicted to fame and fortune, narrow-minded, and blind to retribution. Liu Bowen's words made him hate him to the bone, and from then on he regarded Liu Bowen as an enemy, and he would want to get rid of him quickly. Since then, Liu Bowen has no peaceful days in the second half of his life, and he has suffered repeated retaliation from Hu Weiyong, until he has lost his life.
The "History of Ming" records that after Liu Bowen returned to his hometown, he once suggested that the imperial court set up patrol gates between Ou Kuo to eliminate local bandits. When Hu Weiyong learned of this, he immediately made a rumor to Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that Liu Bowen wanted to monopolize the territory with royal spirit and had the intention of plotting against him. Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious of the letter and ordered that Liu Bowen be stripped of his hand. Liu Bowen was loyal but was suspicious, so he was so frightened that he rushed to the capital to apologize to the emperor, "Nai stayed in Beijing and did not dare to return", and even did not dare to return to his hometown.
In the eighth year of Hongwu, Liu Bowen was seriously ill, and Zhu Yuanzhang sent Hu Weiyong to lead the imperial doctor to treat him. After eating the medicine they sent, Liu Bowen felt a hard stagnation like a stone in his stomach, and his illness became more and more serious, and he died soon after. Hu Weiyong later fell, and Yushi Zhongcheng revealed that Hu Weiyong had poisoned Liu Bowen in the drug he had given liu Bowen.
After Liu Bowen's death, the fierce Hu Weiyong still did not spare. Liu Ji's eldest son, Liu Chaincai, was outstanding in learning and virtuous in character, and was deeply valued by Zhu Yuanzhang, and was promoted quickly after entering the career. Hu Weiyong saw hatred in his eyes and hated it in his heart. The "History of Ming" records that Hu Weiyong took advantage of his position to do everything possible to crack down on and frame Liu Chain, who was cornered and went so far as to throw himself into a well and die.
A generation of Jie Liu Bowen, with a unique genius, can plan and secure the world on the battlefield, but he was defeated in the fierce career rolling, and his family was destroyed by the villain's conspiracy, which really made posterity sigh.
