Liu Ji, the character Bowen, is also the historical famous Liu Bowen, this person was comparable in his lifetime, Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms, and was also responsible for the lord's struggle for the world, and Liu Bowen also succeeded. Liu Bowen was born in Wuyang Village, Nantian Mountain, Jiudu, Qingtian, Zhejiang, but his family was well-off, his father was also a literate person, he received a good education from an early age, and he was also studious, and at the age of 12, he passed the examination for Xiucai, and was known as a "prodigy" in the local area.
At the age of 17, Liu Bowen was already studying in the government, and his studies had been successful, and it was reasonable to say that Liu Bowen's talent should have gone up in the clouds, but at that time, the imperial court had long been corrupt, and his personality was just and righteous, resulting in only a faint retreat, and later by coincidence, he served under Zhu Yuanzhang, assisting the Ming Lord to overthrow the former dynasty and establish a new order.
As one of the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen has been reading poetry and books all his life, and he can be said to be a figure who knows astronomy and geography from above, and this person can also pinch and calculate, which makes Zhu Yuanzhang very jealous in his heart. And although Zhu Yuanzhang is still quite wise, this person has any emperor, there will be a common disease, that is, suspicious heart disease, and very serious.
After the establishment of the state in quelling the civil strife and going to Guotai Min'an, the court did not have so many urgent matters, and these capable courtiers were not so important, especially Liu Bowen, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more jealous of him, and began to find trouble with Liu Bowen, once invited him into the palace, he asked Liu Bowen," How many years can the Daming Jiangshan Sheji last?" ”
At that time, Liu Bowen was caught off guard by the question, but he understood that he could not answer, and he had to answer well, and the last word was eaten, saying: Ten thousand children and ten thousand grandchildren.
I have to say that Liu Bowen's wit saved his life, and zhu Yuanzhang, who listened to it, was overjoyed in his heart, taking it for granted that the Zhu family could live forever. But Zhu Yuanzhang would have thought that in the future, the Ming Dynasty would be doomed.
However, in his later years, Liu Bowen was at odds with the political views of Hu Weiyong and others, and he did not love to form parties for personal gain, was not an opponent in the DPRK, and was often calculated, resulting in Zhu Yuanzhang having a very bad impression of him, and he had begun to plan how to balance Liu Bowen, and on the surface he could get by and not be disliked by the population.
Unexpectedly, this matter was learned by Empress Ma, of course, Empress Ma knew what kind of personality Zhu Yuanzhang was, so she could only order people to send a reward to Liu Bowen overnight, a finely carved jade, and it was a peach, which generally meant that the source of wealth was rolling and gushing, but after Liu Bowen received it, she did not think so, Empress Ma had nothing to send any peaches, and it was not a good thing to see.
Thinking about it, Liu Bowen understood, but it was not important to escape, what was important was how to resign to Zhu Yuanzhang, thought about it overnight, and really came up with a method, and the next day, Liu Bowen deliberately waited for the end of the early dynasty, he was late, and then naturally he would be questioned by the emperor, and sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang asked: Why is Shanshan late?
Liu Bowen only said: "There is a word of forgiveness, I thought about it all night, but I couldn't write it!" Zhu Yuanzhang tilted his nose on the spot, thinking that you Liu Bowen can reach the heavens, and there are still words that can't be written?
Zhu Yuanzhang wrote a big amnesty with a big stroke of the pen, and also looked at it appreciatively, but he did not expect to be put down, Liu Bowen took it with both hands, the paper handed over by the eunuch, Na Tou worshiped, his mouth did not stop, and said: "Your Majesty Long En, so the old minister can also return to his hometown with peace of mind!" ”
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang really couldn't sit still, and said in his heart that you are a Liu Bowen, and he actually took our family to find happiness, and there are good fruits to eat. Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a pen and paper, brushed a few strokes and wrote one "pardon" word after another, and then ordered someone to give it to Liu Bowen. Liu Bowen took the words, prostrated his head, and said: "Your Majesty Xie forgives the sins of the ministers, so that the old ministers can safely tell the old people to return to their hometowns!" Liu Bowen thus escaped a disaster and saved his life.
In fact, Liu Bowen has been beautified in the folk because he can pinch and calculate, resulting in many of his stories circulating in the folk, and even many mythological stories, but he cannot enter the correct history, and there are many false stories to listen to, and it is still okay to entertain him. From this story, what Xiaobian sees is not how Liu Bowen is anxious to save his life, but the inevitability of the feudal system.
At the beginning of the imperial dynasty, the old ministers who founded the country together had great merits, and guotai and min'an would surely provoke the emperor's suspicion, to put it bluntly, the emperor wanted to take over power, and the emperor would need to be inherited by his descendants sooner or later, and these old ministers were the emperor's team, not the heir's team, then it was necessary to unload and kill the donkey, sad and lamentable.
