Liu Bowen had two sons, neither of whom died of natural causes. His eldest son was implicated in the Hu case, but unfortunately he died. His second son, who is also a well-read poet, has many similarities with Liu Bowen. Later, because of the literary inquisition, he was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang on charges of rebellion.
Zhu Yuanzhang really doesn't miss the old feelings at all. Liu Bowen made great contributions to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. Without Liu Bowen, there would be no Ming Dynasty, no Zhujiajie and no Zhu Yuanzhang today. But Zhu Yuanzhang killed Liu Bowen's son without giving Liu Bowen any face.
Zhu Yuanzhang remembered those years when he fought side by side with Liu Bowen, and always felt very safe. Because everything Liu Bowen did was in place, he did everything that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think of. Without Liu Bowen at Zhu Yuanzhang's side, it is a question whether he can go to the end. But things in the world are complicated. Being in trouble is one thing, being in happiness is another.
