Liu Bowen belongs to that kind of talent and intelligence, but he is that kind of special love to learn, from a young age to be intelligent, he is the most different thing from others, generally sons are taught by their own mothers, but Liu Bowen is personally taught by his father to enlighten literacy, he is very studious about books all the time. There are rumors that Liu Bowen's reading speed is extremely fast, and it is said that he is a seven-lineer. At the age of 12, he was a talented person in the examination, and the fathers and elders in the countryside called him a "prodigy".
Liu Bowen was brilliant, proficient in the study of Elephant and Wei, made many shrewd military plans after coming out of the mountains, and raised Zhu Yuanzhang's success to the theoretical height of "Heavenly Help", which met the needs of Zhu Yuanzhang to fool people and made great contributions to the creation of the Ming Dynasty. When Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and established daming, ideology and discourse system must bid farewell to the revolution and return to tradition, when the former dynasty "loyal jun" as a moral standard to require the new dynasty to work large and small subjects, Liu Bowen, who was not politically innocent enough, could only stand on the sidelines and do some marginal things such as cleaning up prison prisoners, building a capital city, and formulating laws, but Liu Bowen, who was "sexually ill" and loved more sincerely, did not have the psychological preparation and action of self-marginality, and still regarded himself as a root and did not change his temper, thus offending a large number of nobles. It also caused dissatisfaction from Zhu Yuanzhang.
As for saying that Liu Bowen was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, it is just a crime added to Zhu Yuanzhang by posterity to denounce Zhu Yuanzhang. Liu Bowen had retired from old age and had no contact with courtiers, and could no longer become an obstacle to Zhu Yunwen's future administration, so there was no need to kill him.
