In the eighth year of Hongwu (1375), Liu Ji caught a cold. When Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it, he sent Hu to see the doctor. The physician prescribed a prescription, and he took the medicine according to the list and came back to decoct it.
He felt as if there were some uneven stones crowded together in his stomach, which was very painful. A few days later, Liu Ji knew that the future was numbered, so he found two sons to explain the aftermath. After the explanation, I told the story again.
Finally, he died in his hometown on April 16 of the lunar calendar at the age of 65. In June, he was buried in the summer countryside. In the eighth year of Zheng De in the Ming Dynasty (15 13), the imperial court named him a Taishi and posthumous title Wencheng.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen is a hero, even a little tall. 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.
But that's all. Liu Bowen's upright character still annoyed Li Shanchang, the prime minister of the dynasty, and even Hu et al. He was gradually distrusted by Zhu Yuanzhang, so he retired from politics and rivers and lakes. He is only 60 years old.
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 who waited for an accident.
But it is such a kind suggestion. Hu retorted that talking about the ocean and the mountains facing the sea is a treasure trove of geomantic omen, and Liu Bowen wants to keep it for himself and make his own cemetery.
Only at that time, I was stopped by residents, so I wanted to set up a patrol inspection department to manage people who were dissatisfied with him. The origin of the matter is Liu Bowen's selfishness.
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Liu Bowen to know how to play, and Liu Bowen to know how to play was a reminder to him, hoping that he could handle this matter well, otherwise the big hat of rebellion would be buckled on himself, leaving him powerless.
Liu Bowen can only think of going to Beijing to fight Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Yuanzhang doesn'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.
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 still has no financial management.
Just sent someone to know that Liu Bowen is sick and can't get out of bed, saying that he can go back to his former residence by official boat. Shortly thereafter, Liu Bowen died.
In folklore, Liu Bowen's image is a divine person, a prophet and a prophetess with unpredictable events. There is a saying that "knowing 500 years before, knowing 500 years later". According to legend, Liu Bowen was a god before the Jade Emperor.
At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, there was chaos, war and famine. The Jade Emperor made Liu Bowen reincarnate to assist Ming Jun, so as to rule the world and benefit the whole people, and gave him a sword to cut it, and ordered the Dragon King of the Four Seas. But the Dragon King was old and weak, and had many affairs, so he sent his nine sons.
Nine dragons are all powerful. They followed Liu Bowen for many years, laid a good foundation for Zhu Yuanzhang and helped Judy win the throne. When they successfully finished their work and were ready to return to life in heaven.
Judy, the ambitious emperor, wants to keep them with him forever and bring peace and stability to this country that rules the world. So in the name of building the Forbidden City, he took Liu Bowen's sword and set nine sons on fire.
But Jiuzi was still a god beast, and suddenly it rained heavily and he was furious. When Judy saw that the sword could not shake her nine sons, she decided to use a trick. He said to the eldest of his nine sons, "You have infinite strength and can move 10,000 kilograms of things. If you can carry this monument to the magical power of your ancestors.
I'll let you go. "At first glance, it turned out to be a small stone tablet. I took it with me without hesitation, but I couldn't move it with all my powers.
It turns out that the tablet of divine power is used to record the merits (good deeds) of the "real dragon emperor" before his death, and it has two generations of emperor seals, which can town ghosts and gods in all directions.
Seeing that his eldest brother was crushed under the monument, Ba Zi could not bear to leave and decided to stay on earth together, but vowed never to show up. Although Judy raised nine sons, all she got was nine statue-like beasts.
When Liu Bowen learned about this, he also abandoned Judy and returned to heaven from the body. Judy regretted it. In order to warn future generations not to repeat the same mistakes, he asked the nine sons to perform their duties and spread them through the ages.
