When it comes to Liu Bowen, everyone will say in unison that it is a god who knows 500 years after 500 years. Born in a family of scholars, Liu Bowen likes to read since childhood, and is familiar with Confucian classics, Zhuzi Hundred Families and other books, especially in astronomy, geography, martial arts, and magic numbers, and his achievements are quite high.
Liu Bowen is unfathomable, and in the folk, he and Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng are all immortal-like big people.
There are countless legends about Liu Bowen, among which the mystery of Liu Bowen's death is also widely circulated.
Liu Bowen was zhu Yuanzhang's first strategist to seize the world and build the Ming Dynasty. On the battlefield, Liu Bowen strategized and won a decisive victory thousands of miles away.
However, what is unexpected is that after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen, as the first major hero of the founding of the country, only received a second-class earl title, not only that, but even Feng Lu was the lowest among the counts, which could not help but be chilling. However, what is even more surprising is that Liu Bowen's death is inextricably linked to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Why was Zhu Yuanzhang willing to kill Liu Bowen, who had made great contributions to his own opening of the country?
For many years, people have been divided into many opinions about this, and there are 3 common ways to say this:
1. Liu Bowen's ability to anticipate things like gods made Zhu Yuanzhang uneasy and pushed him to the end of his life.
True to the sentence: "Piaf is not guilty, but bears his guilt."
Liu Bowen's estimation and judgment of the situation was far more accurate than Zhu Yuanzhang's. From the Battle of Longwan to the rescue of Anfeng, Zhu Yuanzhang could think of it, and Liu Bowen also thought of it. And what Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't imagine, Liu Bowen still thought of. Zhu Yuanzhang did not tolerate grace, and could not tolerate people who were stronger than himself to stay by his side for a long time.
2. Zhu Yuanzhang is a person who attaches great importance to local concepts, and Liu Bowen, as a foreigner, has lost his intimacy in love.
3. Liu Bowen is good at scheming and plays a vital role in political struggle. However, this was the most disturbing factor for Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the world, who wanted to get rid of it quickly.
Zhu Yuanzhang once consulted with Liu Bowen on the position of chancellor, and there was a hidden temptation in his words. Although Liu Bowen is not an idle person, in the end it is inevitable that "the wise man has a thousand worries, and he will have a mistake." When Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be meaningful and said that only Liu Bowen could take on this great responsibility, Liu Bowen said: "The subject is too sick and evil, and he is impatient with drama, so he is grateful for it." There is no talent in the world, but the Lord seeks it with all his heart. ”
What kind of deep meaning does this statement contain, so that Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen's breakup since then has always been a difficult mystery. Perhaps it was Zhu Yuanzhang's own preconceived idea of stealing the axe, or perhaps it was a misreading by posterity, in short, it was regarded as Liu Bowen's hypnotic, laying the groundwork for his later sudden illness.
As for the cause of Liu Bowen's death, it is also an inexplicable mystery.
In the first month of the eighth year of Hongwu (1375), Liu Bowen was recuperating at home, and Zhu Yuanzhang sent Hu Weiyong to visit and brought tonic medicine, but after Liu Bowen took the tonic, not only did his condition not improve but worsened, and soon after Liu Bowen died of illness at the age of 65.
As we all know, Liu Bowen and Hu Weiyong were a pair of political enemies, and Zhu Yuanzhang watched the two tigers fight each other without moving, showing the imperial power.
Although "poisoning and murdering Liu Bowen" was also one of the crimes of Hu Weiyong later, it was really difficult for Hu Weiyong to be so arrogant and arrogant with his power and situation, which had to make people guess that he was acquiesced by Zhu Yuanzhang, and even this was Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention - to borrow the hands of others to get rid of the big troubles in his heart.
"Cunning rabbits die, lackeys cook, high birds are exhausted, and good bows are hidden." How many loyal and good generals have been killed because of this, it is really nerve-wracking!
