The 3rd year of Hongwu (1370) is the year when Zhu Yuanzhang summed up the past and looked forward to the future. He was honored according to the past merits of the heroes in his mind.
Zhu Yuanzhang conferred on Li Shanchang the title of "Founding Auxiliary Fortune Pushing Sincerity shouzheng chen", promoted to tejin, Guanglu Dafu, Zuo Zhuguo, Taishi, Zhongshu Zuo Chengxiang, jinjue Korean duke, 4000 stones of NianLu, hereditary descendants; Feng Liu Ji Chengyi Bo, ranked 300 stones; not even a fraction of Li Shanchang's head.
This actually shows that in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, Li Shanchang's credit is much greater than That of Liu Ji and Liu Bowen.
Li Shanchang is really Zhu Yuanzhang's Xiao He, Zhu Yuanzhang's great housekeeper, when Zhu Yuanzhang was fighting, he ate and drank Lasa, dispatched troops and generals, policies and systems, money and grain taxes, especially the three major migrations in the early Ming Dynasty, the construction and management of health centers, supervised the revision of the "History of the Yuan", and compiled the "Records of Taizu Training" and "Daming Jili" and other books.
Indeed, Liu Ji is very powerful in folklore. There is a widespread saying among the people that "Zhuge Liang of the three worlds unifies the jiangshan liu bowen; zhuge liang, the former military division of the dynasty, and Liu Bowen of the later dynasty military division". But Liu Bowen's actual biggest advantage is that he "understands astronomy".
Zhu Yuanzhang himself did not lack wisdom; and among Zhu Yuanzhang's many advisers, there was no shortage of intelligent people. But Liu Ji has an advantage that others cannot match, that is, he understands "astronomy", and this significance in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties is not trivial. Because "understanding astronomy" can not only accurately use weather forecasts to help Zhu Yuanzhang make more accurate decisions, "astronomical astrology" also represents "providence" in ancient times, at least many of Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates are very much eating this set.
At the crucial turning point of Zhu Yuanzhang, when Zhu Yuanzhang became a minority person who grasped the truth in some decisions, Zhu Yuanzhang would find that there was another person who also belonged to the minority, that is, Liu Ji Liu Bowen. Then Liu Jide's role is comparable to Zhang Liang's. But for Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Liang is not equal to Liu Ji, because he has a lot of Zhang Liang, such as the "national policy" of "building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming a king", which comes from Zhu Sheng. But Zhu Sheng was older and relatively low-key, so he went into hiding early.
Liu Ji did a lot of credit in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. However, Liu Ji had one of the biggest black spots in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, which had always made Zhu Yuanzhang grumpy, so he was always just a strategist and could not touch the military power.
This black spot is that Liu Bowen has always suggested that Zhu on the one hand break away from the "Xiaoming King" Han Lin'er's self-reliance forces; and when Han Lin'er is besieged, let Zhu Yuanzhang watch from the sidelines, do not go to the rescue, and wait for others to eliminate Han Lin'er.
From the perspective of a strategist, there was no problem in this matter, which was conducive to Zhu Yuanzhang's forces getting rid of the shackles and developing; and in fact, zhu Yuanzhang rescued Han Lin'er, and in the 26th year of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Liao Yongzhong to welcome Han Lin'er back to Ying Tianfu, only to find that the problem was troublesome. I want to ask an ancestor to come back and punch myself in the face. So passing through Guazhou, Han Lin'er sank into the river and drowned, and whether zhu Yuanzhang meant it or not, this account was counted on Zhu Yuanzhang's sinister and cunning head.
But Zhu Yuanzhang's perspective on the problem is different from others, that is, Liu Ji asked me to treat the old lord like this; which day he turned to the new lord, is there still a way for me to live? This is an age-old paradox.
When the Ming Dynasty was founded, Li Shanchang successfully became the prime minister. Responsible for presiding over state affairs, the power is great. Zhu Yuanzhang was always worried that sooner or later he would be overtaken by Li Shanchang, and Zhu Yuanzhang's first reaction was not to let them go together, and to create contradictions between the two of them.
Therefore, the situation in the early Ming Dynasty was that Zhongshu Province and Yushitai were fighting each other all the time. Zhongshu Province has the right to have money, and Yushitai is a bunch of poor students, with low status, no power and no power. However, Zhu Yuanzhang gave Yushitai the power to supervise the hundred officials.
But both of them were smart people, both took the initiative to leave the game early, they left by themselves, but behind them were buried in chess pieces fighting each other, they thought it was safe, and as a result, no one escaped. Liu Ji just lost his life, and Li Shanchang was 76 years old and retired for more than 10 years, and eventually it still affected more than 70 of his wives, daughters, and nephews.
This is the so-called role that zhu Yuanzhang has favored in zhu Yuanzhang's heart, and the more meritorious the more he is, the more tragic the end.
