Liu Bowen had already returned to the field and lived an idyllic life under the hedge of picking chrysanthemums. However, he was so concerned about the country and people that he never stopped attending the court. There is a place called Tan Yang near qingtian county, where bandits are rampant and the people are miserable. Liu Bowen felt sorry for the local people. So he directly reported to the imperial court, hoping to set up a patrol inspection department in Tan Yang to take charge of management. Zhu Yuanzhang thought this suggestion was good and approved it.
I don't know that when the inspection department was established, one of the soldiers colluded with bandits, causing a mutiny. The local government's ability to suppress bandits is really not good, but it is afraid of being blamed by the above, so it directly hides. This matter is known by Liu Bowen again, which can't be done. The court will send someone to take care of it again. So Liu Bowen wrote a letter to Zhu Yuanzhang for his eldest son.
I didn't expect Liu Bowen's kindness, but he made a big fuss about it by his former nemesis Hu. Hu deliberately told Zhu Yuanzhang that Liu Bowen personally wanted to occupy this "kingly land", but it caused dissatisfaction among the people. So let the court come forward to suppress it. I never thought that this move caused the soldiers to resist. Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang thought, you are a good Liu Bowen. You don't take good care of your old age, but you have to participate in the affairs of the court. Although Hu could not believe it all, Zhu Yuanzhang took the opportunity to punish Liu Bowen and deliberately canceled Liu Bowen's salary.
Knowing that the emperor was beating himself again, Liu Bowen left his hometown and confessed. He went and got himself into a bigger whirlpool.
Liu Bowen, who returned to Beijing, was not only under house arrest by Zhu Yuanzhang, but also attacked for no reason from time to time. Zhu Yuanzhang is not the man who fought together in those days. Now he just wants to consolidate his imperial power and does not allow any threats. He wants his descendants to enjoy the imperial power without hindrance forever. A sly rabbit dies, and a running dog cooks; Birds are exhausted, and good bows are hidden; When the enemy country is destroyed, the counselor dies. The fate of those founding heroes can be imagined.
Liu Bowen became more and more unhappy in Beijing and finally fell ill. In spite of his illness, Liu Bowen is still on pins and needles. His political rival Huth brought a physician to visit Liu Bowen. Liu Bowen, who has taken medicine, is getting worse every day. Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Liu Bowen was no longer a threat and gave Liu Bowen "Letters to Lao Qingtian".
Being with you is like being with a tiger. Liu Bowen, the founding hero, wholeheartedly assisted Zhu Yuanzhang in laying the foundation for the country, but he was seriously ill and returned to his hometown. Before he died, he told his sons two things.
The first thing: He asked his eldest son, Mclynn Killman Liu, to bring all books and manuscripts on astronomy, calendars, academics and military affairs, and ordered his son to give them to the emperor after his death. And specifically told future generations not to learn these. Liu Bowen knew that an emperor's heart was unfathomable. The more posterity knows, the greater the suspicion of the emperor. However, even if children and grandchildren don't study, his sons still have no good end.
The second thing: he advised his sons to keep a low profile and not to mess with Hu. Five years later, the wicked will get what they deserve. "Only after the defeat will God think of me and ask me questions, so I will secretly play." What we are playing here is Liu Bowen's benevolent view of lenient punishment and simple method:
"The essence of politics lies in combining leniency with severity. What the court should do today is to reduce the sentence by benevolent government and pray to God to extend the life of the Ming Dynasty. All places with dangerous terrain must be in contact with the capital in momentum. "
Before long, Liu Bowen, a child prodigy who was reasonable, knowledgeable in astronomy and made good use of the art of war, died. I have to say that if Liu Bowen stays out of it, he may be able to live happily in the country for several years.
1377, the eldest son, Mclynn Killman Liu, was forced to jump into a well and died because of a conflict with the Hu party.
1380, Hu was really predicted by Liu Bowen and sentenced to death by Zhu Yuanzhang for "poisoning Liu Bowen" in addition to treason.
1390, Zhu Yuanzhang gave the Liu family a principal book and an iron coupon, which saved the Liu family from a capital crime.
1402, the second son, Liu Jing, was sent to prison because he angrily denounced Judy: "Your Highness will never escape the word' usurper' after his death." . In prison, he committed suicide.
Liu Bowen's two sons did not escape the fate of death. In fact, Liu Bowen had predicted the fate of his two sons before his death. "Detained talented, but no phase. The courtiers just miss and will not die. "
Liu Bowen's grandson, Liu Geng, has retired from officialdom. Later, it was rumored that the grandson of Liu Bowen V was in the Jianghu, and was put in prison for some things, and was later released by the emperor without charge. He Fanyun also has a bright side. He was appointed as the state commander and was a military attache with the doctrine.
