As we all know, in ancient China, a monarch was like a tiger, and he had the right of life and death and unquestionable authority over all his subordinates. While enjoying the splendor, the emperor is the loneliest and most fearful, afraid of being poisoned by people around him, afraid of the minister's contribution to Gao Zhen, and limited by various forces. When you meet a cautious and suspicious emperor, whether it is the following courtiers or the people, you will be killed accidentally.
Zhu Yuanzhang is a typical emperor of this kind in history. As the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, his image has always been a good monarch who is strict with himself and severely punishes corrupt officials. Unknown, he kicked down the bridge, executed his brother who fought for him and restored the heinous martyrdom system. Supposedly, he should be heartless and will not repent, but one of the brothers he ordered to kill made him sad. This man is the counselor? Liu Bowen.
Liu Ji, whose name is Bowen, is a person? God operator? The founding fathers of the Ming Dynasty were all accomplished in military politics and literature. Not only ingenious, ingenious. And in literature with Song Lian, Gao Qi said? Three poets in the early Ming Dynasty? . In the Yuan Dynasty, he was a scholar, and at the beginning he was a Taishiling. Zhu Yuanzhang heard his name and received good courtesy. Liu Bowen didn't live up to his high expectations, and he made a decisive victory.
after Zhu Yuanzhang acceded to the throne, it was he who asked for the establishment of a military defense law to clean up the discipline and often gave advice. Hongwu was promoted for three years and was granted a sincere letter. In the second year, Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to retire. He died only four years after returning home. Zhu Yuanzhang had no conscience, and his descendants Zhu Houzhao felt unkind, so he posthumously awarded Liu Bowen as a surname and posthumous title Wencheng.
Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious by nature, fearing that powerful ministers would seek to usurp the throne, so it began in the Ming Dynasty? Literary inquisition? However, Liu Bowen, who knows the world, never expected that he would become the object that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to get rid of. He used his intelligence and undivided attention to help Zhu Yuanzhang stabilize his position, thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang regarded his benefactor instead of treating him as a thorn in his side.
However, cleverness turns out to be a mistake. Because he knows astronomy above and geography below, Zhu Yuanzhang, the supreme ruler, was terrified and killed. So we found fault in our eggs, borrowed Liu Bowen's carelessness, and let his hometown provide for the aged. Liu Bowen knew Zhu Yuanzhang's temper, and silently returned to his hometown without pleading, hoping to spend the rest of his life.
Unfortunately, as a honest and frank, he made too many enemies. His number one adversary, Hu Weiyong, wanted to strike while the iron was hot to discredit Liu Bowen, so he suggested that Zhu Yuanzhang kill Liu Bowen for the crime of attempted rebellion. Zhu Yuanzhang then arranged for Hu Weiyong to secretly put poison, hoping that Liu Bowen would die suddenly, and then he killed Hu Weiyong with two birds with one stone. Who is Liu Bowen? He had a premonition that he would be killed. As a courtier, he couldn't escape the death of the monarch, but he was unwilling. So, like punishing Sima Yi after Zhuge Liang's death, he had already figured out a way to retaliate against ungrateful Zhu Yuanzhang.
Last-minute plan
Four years after returning home, Liu Bowen, who is in his sixties, was not idle and wrote a book? The Hundred Years' War and Miracles, one day before his death, told his two sons, Liu Lian and Liu Zhong, that the emperor was suspicious. If he knew that this book existed, it might harm the whole family, so as to ensure safety. I'd better burn it after my death.
After that, Liu Bowen drove the crane to the west, and the people circulated that Hundred Years' War and Miracles was a peerless book written by Liu Bowen with all his life energy (equivalent to the biblical status of Christianity in modern times). It recorded what Liu Bowen saw and heard in his life and all the wars he experienced, which was very realistic and could overthrow the Ming Dynasty.
There is no windtight wall in the world. At Liu Bowen's funeral, Zhu Yuanzhang openly sent two messengers to mourn. In fact, he wanted to find the book, but he was disappointed. The messengers checked everything and returned empty-handed. This practice made Liu Bowen's descendants even more chilling. Later, eight generations did not have their children to serve in the DPRK.
The existence of this book always made Zhu Yuanzhang afraid that it would overthrow the Great Ming Dynasty that he had worked so hard to build. In addition, he was suspicious and grumpy, and his search failed for many years, which led to unhappiness until his death.
the most interesting thing is that this book has not reappeared in the world until now, so its existence is unknown. Estimation is that Liu Bowen himself died of Zhu Yuanzhang's paranoia, so taking advantage of this, I want Zhu Yuanzhang to have a heart disease that can't be let go, and live in fear all the time, and do it on purpose. This can't help but make people sigh, employing people without doubt, doubting people without need. Zhu Yuanzhang's unkindness made a generation of loyal ministers end in hatred, and the causal cycle, in fact, what really made him sad and end up was his own suspicion.
