2. For Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen was a hero, even a little arrogant. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen was not greedy for fame and wealth, nor did he take credit. He was humble again and again, but he was made an earl, which made him a sincere person and his annual salary was much lower than that of people of the same level.
3. But that's the truth. Liu Bowen's upright character still annoyed Li Shanchang, the prime minister of the dynasty, and even Hu et al. He gradually lost Zhu Yuanzhang's trust, withdrew from politics disheartened, and retired at the age of 60.
4. Near Liu Bowen's former residence, there is a place called Tan Yang, where salt merchants and thieves are rampant. Liu Bowen didn't like it, so he entrusted his son to his fate and suggested that Zhu Yuanzhang set up a patrol inspection department here to manage this unruly person waiting for trouble.
5, but it is such a kind suggestion, Hu bite back and think that facing the sea, relying on mountains and rivers, is a treasure trove of feng shui. Liu Bowen wanted to take it for himself and build his own cemetery, but was blocked by the residents at that time. So he wants to set up an inspection department to manage people who are dissatisfied with him. The origin of the matter is Liu Bowen's selfishness.
6. Subsequently, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Liu Bowen to know the letter. Liu Bowen knew that this was a reminder to him, and hoped that he could handle this matter well, otherwise the big hat of rebellion would be buckled on himself, leaving him powerless.
7. All Liu Bowen could think of was going to Beijing to fight Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to see him. Liu Bowen knew that he was deeply wronged, but he could not be forgiven by the monarch. He was very depressed and soon lay in bed.
8. Hu took the so-called tonic to visit Liu Bowen. After Liu Bowen ate it, his chest was hard to swallow and his condition worsened. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about Liu Bowen's final performance. He just sent someone to know that Liu Bowen was ill and couldn't get out of bed, saying that he could go back to his former residence by official boat. Shortly thereafter, Liu Bowen died.
9. Some people say that Hu poisoned Liu Bowen with the authorization of Zhu Yuanzhang, but this is a mystery. We don't know, but we can know that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang changed his mind and began to doubt and kill heroes, which was also an important reason for Liu Bowen's death.
