Fang Guozhen's maritime uprising attacked counties, but the relevant departments could not put it down. The provinces also recruited Liu Ji as the Marshal's Office. Liu Ji suggested building Qingyuan and other cities to suppress the enemy, and Fang Guozhen's morale was greatly reduced. When Tieli Timur, the left prime minister, surrendered, Liu Ji said that the Fang brothers were the leaders of the chaotic party, and not killing them was not enough to warn future generations. Fang Guozhen was afraid, so he bribed Liu Ji with a lot of gifts. Liu Ji did not accept it. Fang Guozhen then sent people from the sea to the capital to bribe those in power. So the court handed over Fang Guozhen and gave him an official position, but accused Liu Ji of arrogating power and detained him in Shaoxing. The Fang Guozhen brothers became more arrogant. Soon, the mountain thief got up, and the province recruited Liu Ji to suppress him. The court sentenced him (the official name) to Shi Sunzhen to defend the state. After Li Guofeng played his part, the ruler suppressed his reward for Fang Guozhen's sake, and appointed him as the court judge of the general manager, so as not to let him participate in the military. Liu Ji left his post and returned to qingtian county, where he wrote Jade Ion to express his thoughts. At that time, in order to avoid the Fang Guozhen brothers, people came to take refuge in Liu Ji. Liu Ji deployed slowly, and thieves did not dare to attack.
When Ming Taizu (Zhu Yuanzhang) captured Jinhua (now Jinhua, Zhejiang) and settled in Kuocang (now Linhai, Zhejiang), he heard that Liu Ji and Song Lian were famous and hired him with coins. Liu Ji disagreed, and Sun Yan (official name), the general manager, wrote to insist on inviting him, and Liu Jicai came out of the mountain. After taking office, he put forward "eighteen strategies for current affairs". Ming Taizu was overjoyed and built Lixian Pavilion for Liu Ji and others. He received great courtesy and respect. At first, because Han Liner claimed to be a descendant of the Song Dynasty, Ming Taizu gave priority to Han Liner, which came from afar. At the beginning of the year, Zhongshu Province set up a memorial ceremony. Only Liu Ji did not worship (Han Liner). Liu Ji said, "It's just herding cattle. Why worship him! " So I met Chen and told me what Destiny wanted. When Zhu Yuanzhang asked about the strategy of winning or losing, Liu Ji said, "Zhang Shicheng is a man with strong self-control in Baby City, so he is not worried. Chen Youliang held the king hostage and threatened his lieutenants. His name is incorrect, and his territory is in our upper class. He doesn't forget to destroy us every day, so he should be taken down first. Chen was eliminated, and Zhang was weak, so he could win at one stroke. After conquering the Central Plains to the north, the emperor's inheritance can be determined. " Ming Taizu said happily, "Mr. Wang has a clever plan. Don't be stingy. Please say it all. " Because Chen Youliang captured Taiping Town, it was very severe. Some generals suggested surrendering, others suggested fleeing to Zhongshan, and Liu Ji kept his eyes open. Ming Taizu called him in, and Liu Ji said excitedly, "Anyone who advocates surrender and escape should be beheaded." Ming Taizu said, "What's your plan?" Liu Ji said: "The enemy is proud. When they go deep into our land, it is easy to ambush military forces and invite them to attack. The truth of God is that the people who started later won, destroyed the enemy and realized Wang Ye, just in this battle. " Ming Taizu adopted his plan, lured Chen Youliang to come and defeated him. Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded Liu Ji with the reward of defeating the enemy. Liu Ji declined. Chen Youliang's army captured Anqing again, and Ming Taizu planned to conquer Liu Ji himself. Liu Ji strongly agreed, so he set out to attack Anqing. From morning till night, it was not laid. Liu Ji requested to rush directly to Jiangzhou and take Chen Youliang's lair, so Zhu Yuanzhang took an army to the west. Unexpectedly, Chen Youliang led his wife and children to Wuchang and Jiangzhou surrendered. Hu Mei, commander of Longxing in Jiangzhou, sent his son to intercede and asked not to disband the team. Ming Taizu is reluctant. Liu Ji stepped on the Hu bed behind him. Mao realized this and agreed with Hu Mei. Hu Mei surrendered and all counties in Jiangxi were captured.
Liu Ji's mother died and dared not tell Zhu Yuanzhang during the war. At this time, she asked to go home and bury her mother. It coincided with the Miao Army rebellion, which killed Jinhua, Hu Dahai, Geng Zaicheng and others, and the situation in eastern Zhejiang was unstable. When Liu Ji arrived in Quzhou, he wrote a letter to Xia Yi, the garrison commander, to appease the counties under his jurisdiction, and negotiated with Shao Rong, a peacemaker, to recover Youzhou, thus the rebellion was put down. Fang Guozhen has been afraid of Liu Ji and wrote a letter of condolence. Liu Ji wrote back and told him about Wade, a brilliant great ancestor, and Fang Guozhen's tribute to Zhu Yuanzhang. Ming Taizu wrote to Liu Ji's home for many times and asked him about military and state affairs. Liu Ji's answers were very appropriate. Shortly after arriving in Beijing, Ming Taizu was about to rescue An Feng himself. Liu Ji said: "Han (Chen Youliang) and Wu (Zhang Shicheng) are spying on our space. We can't act blindly." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't listen. Hearing this, the Chen Youliang seized the opportunity to besiege Hongdu. Ming Taizu said, "I didn't listen to you. I almost ruined this event. " So he personally led the troops to rescue Hongdu and fought with Chen Youliang in Poyang Lake dozens of times a day. Sitting on Hu's bed, Liu bid. Suddenly, he jumped up and shouted, urging Zhu Yuanzhang to change ships. Ming Taizu hurried to sit on another ship. Before he sat down, a flying stone broke the royal ship he had just sat on. Chen Youliang was overjoyed when he saw it from a height. And Ming Taizu's ship went further, and the Han army was frightened to disgrace. At that time, the two armies were deadlocked in the lake, and the outcome was undecided for three days. Liu Ji asked Zhu Yuanzhang to transfer troops to Hukou to contain Chen Youliang, and on the day when they attacked each other, Chen Youliang failed and died. After that, Ming Taizu captured Zhang Shicheng, made a northern expedition to the Central Plains, and finally achieved the imperial industry, as planned by Liu Ji.
In the first year of Wu Dynasty (Zhu Yuanzhang was called the King of Wu at that time), Liu Ji was appointed as the Taishiling and presented the Wu Shen Dali. Mars stays in Antares (the heart, the name of the star, an astronomical phenomenon), and Liu Ji asks to write a letter to blame himself. This year's drought, he also asked to deal with the backlog of cases. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered Liu Ji to rehabilitate unjust imprisonment, and heavy rain followed. He also called for customized legislation to stop the indiscriminate killing of innocent people. Ming Taizu was about to torture people. Liu Ji asked why, and Ming Taizu said it was because of a dream. Liu Ji said: "This is a sign of winning the land, because it is time to stop punishing and wait and see." Three days later, Haining surrendered. Mao was overjoyed and handed over all the prisoners to Liu. Soon, he was appointed as an imperial adviser and suggestion.
Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor's throne, and Liu Ji played a role in formulating the military defense law and initially determined the tax and grain of Chuzhou. According to the system of the Song Dynasty, the yield per mu increased five times (ten times is one liter). For qingtian county alone, Ming Taizu said, "So Liu Bowen can be passed down from generation to generation in the village and become a beautiful talk." Zhu Yuanzhang visited the capital of song dynasty, while Liu Ji and Zuo Prime Minister Li Shanchang stayed in Beijing. Liu Ji believes that the Song and Yuan Dynasties lost the world because of indulgence and should be serious and self-disciplined. He ordered the suggestion to impeach current affairs without scruple, and all the palace guards and eunuchs who were at fault reported to the Crown Prince for justice, and everyone was afraid of his severity. Bing Lin, governor of Zhongshu Province, was convicted of corruption and arrogance. Li Shanchang often excused him and asked for an extension of his punishment. Liu Ji didn't listen, so he sent someone to beat Zhu Yuanzhang on horseback. Zhu Yuanzhang replied that he agreed. When I was ready to ask for rain, I cut off Bing Lin's head. From then on, Liu Ji and Li Shanchang disagreed. Ming Taizu was very angry when he returned to Beijing, because Liu Ji killed people under the altar and thought he was disrespectful. People who hold a grudge against Liu Ji compete to denigrate him. Just because of the drought, Liu Ji asked for advice and said, "The dead soldiers, their wives are in other barracks, and as many as tens of thousands of people gathered in Yin." After the death of the craftsman, the remains were exposed, and the surrender of Wu was incorporated into the army, which led to the disharmony between Yin and Yang. "The emperor adopted his words, and it didn't rain after ten days. Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry. It happened that Liu Ji's wife died and he asked to go back to his hometown. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was building a capital, and he was determined to eliminate Kuokuotor. Before leaving, Liu Ji said: "Fengyang is the hometown of the emperor, but it is not a place suitable for building the capital." "Wang Baobao should not be underestimated." Dingxi was quickly defeated, and the expansion and sticking wood finally fled to the desert. It is still a hidden danger at the border. This winter, the emperor personally wrote a letter to remember Liu Ji's exploits and called him into Beijing. The reward is very generous. Liu Ji's grandfather and father are both Yongjia County Duke. Liu Ji has repeatedly refused to accept Liu Ji's title.
At first, Ming Taizu blamed Prime Minister Li Shanchang. Liu Ji said: "Li Shanchang is an outstanding veteran who can coordinate the relationship between generals and German." Ming Taizu said, "He tried to frame you many times, but you defended her? I want you to be the prime minister. " Liu Ji kowtowed and said, "Changing a prime minister is like changing a pillar. You must use big wood. If you use small wood, the house will collapse immediately. " Later, Li Shanchang was deposed, and the emperor intended to make yang xian prime minister. Yang Xian has always had a good relationship with Liu Shande, but Liu Ji firmly believes that it is impossible. He said: "Yang Xian is a prime minister, but not a prime minister. A person who is a prime minister must be calm and practical, rather than acting on his own likes and dislikes. Yang Xian is not such a person. " The emperor asked Wang Guangyang again, and Liu Ji said, "This man is more eccentric and shallow than Yang Xian." The emperor asked Hu again, and Liu Ji said, "It's just like driving a car. I am afraid that he will pull the shaft. " The emperor said, "I really didn't surpass you as prime minister." Liu Ji said: "I am too vicious to stand complicated things." If I become prime minister, I will live up to your kindness. " . There is no shortage of talents in the world. As long as the wise Lord of SHEN WOO tries his best to search for them, all these serious people in front of him are incompetent. Later, Yang Xian and Hu were destroyed. Wu Hong (No.of Ming Taizu) appointed Liu Ji as a bachelor of Hong Wen Pavilion in three years. In November, Liu Ji was made a hero, and was appointed as a founding commander, a good doctor and an imperial ambassador. He was made a honest man and received a salary of 240 stones. The following year, he retired.
Zhu Yuanzhang once wrote to Liu Ji asking about the astronomical phenomena. Liu Ji gave a very detailed answer item by item and burned the draft. The main content is that after frost and snow, spring will surely come. Now that the prestige of the country has been established, it should be supplemented by a tolerant policy. Liu Jifu asked Zhu Yuanzhang to pacify the world, and he expected things to be like gods. Born in honest and frank, he hates evil and is at odds with many people. At this time, I retired to the mountains, only drinking and playing chess, and never mentioned my merits. The magistrate asked to see him, but he didn't get it, so the magistrate had to wear casual clothes and pretend to be a man from Shan Ye to visit him. Liu Ji was washing his feet and asked my nephew to take the magistrate to the hut to cook millet for dinner. The magistrate told him, "I am the magistrate of Qingtian." Liu Ji was startled, got up and said yes, said goodbye, and finally didn't see the magistrate again. He kept a low profile to this point, but in the end he was calculated by Hu.
At first, Liu Ji said that there was a clearing between Ou (now Wenzhou) and Kuocang, which went south to Fujian and was a place where salt thieves gathered. It was here that the Fang Guozhen brothers started their business and asked a special inspection department to be stationed. This makes it difficult for treacherous people to do things. It happened that Yang Ming deserted and rebelled, and the officials hid the letter and did not upload it. Liu Ji ordered his eldest son, Mclynn Killman Liu, to act the story without telling Zhongshu Province first. Hu was then the prime minister in charge of Zhongshu Province. Coupled with previous resentment, he instigated officials to frame Liu Ji, saying that this place is king, and Liu Ji intends to build a tomb for himself here. The people wouldn't let him do this, so he asked for a patrol department to expel the people here. Although the emperor did not ask Liu Ji about his sins, he was moved by these words and deprived Liu Ji of his salary. Liu Ji was afraid, went to North Korea to apologize, and stayed in Beijing, afraid to go back. Soon, when Hu became prime minister, Liu Ji was very worried and said, "Let what I said before not come true. This is the blessing of a lifetime. " Suffering from anxiety and anger. In March of the eighth year of Hongwu, the emperor personally wrote an article for him and sent envoys to escort him back to his hometown. When I got home, I was even more ill. I gave the book to my eldest son, Mclynn Killman Liu, and said, "Give it up quickly and don't let future generations know." He also said to his second son, Liu Jing, "When dealing with government affairs, we should be kind and strict with recycling. The urgent task now is to reduce Xiu De's sentence and pray for his eternal fate. Those places where the terrain is crucial should unite with the capital. I want to write my legacy, but it's no use writing it, Hu. After Hu was defeated, the emperor will definitely think of me. If he has any questions, he will play this secret. " A month later, he died at the age of 65. When Liu Ji was ill in Beijing, Hu sent for a doctor and drank the medicine prescribed by the doctor. He accumulated something in his abdomen, like a fist-sized stone. Later, Zhong You Tu Jie exposed Hu's plot, saying that Hu had poisoned Liu Ji.
Liu Ji, with a beard, is slender and tall, generous and generous, and talks about the safety of the world with a positive face. The emperor found his loyalty and regarded him as a confidant. Every time I ask Liu Ji to meet me, I avoid secret words for a long time. Liu Ji also believes that this is not a blessing that can be met in a lifetime, so he knows everything. Every time you encounter an emergency, you have the courage to work hard and come up with a plan at once, which others can't guess. Explain the way of being a country in your spare time. The emperor always listens with an open mind, and often calls him an old gentleman instead of his name, saying, "This is my Sean (Sean's ovary)." He also said, "(Liu Ji) has taught me many times in the words of Confucius." Therefore, the secret language in the curtain is not clear to the world, but there are many sayings about this man who is passed down as a magic man by the world. This is not his best place. His articles are fluent and wonderful, and together with Song Lian, he became a great master. His works, including Fu Bu Ji and Li Mei Gong Ji, spread all over the world.
