Liu Bowen was smart and studious since he was a child, very diligent, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he was admitted to the Jinshi, he was upright, but after becoming an official, he was very unhappy, so he took leave to cultivate, and inadvertently passed by Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown, at that time Zhu Yuanzhang's home was very poor, Zhu Yuanzhang was only 6 years old, on this day, Zhu Yuanzhang was cool under a big tree because the weather was too hot, and happened to meet Liu Bowen. When Liu Bowen saw Zhu Yuanzhang's face, he felt that it was a face of great wealth and nobility, and it would inevitably be the face of the Son of Heaven in the future, but it was really magical, and Zhu Yuanzhang could become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty all depended on Liu Bowen's help.
Liu Bowen can be said to be a god man, he has studied many books since he was a child, and when he grew up, he was admitted to the meritorious name, which can be said to be a very talented person. When he was an official, because he was not accustomed to those corrupt officials and did not want to become friends with them, he was ostracized above the imperial court, so he took sick leave.
First, the face of the emperor
Liu Bowen liked to play in the mountains and rivers, so he went to Fengyang County, Anhui Province, which was Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown. Zhu Yuanzhang grew up in a very poor family, almost unable to eat, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to go to school when he was very young, but his family was poor and he could not afford to study, so he could only give others cattle to earn some living expenses. One day, Zhu Yuanzhang was very tired of herding cattle, so he tied the cattle under the big tree with a rope, and he leaned his head on the big tree to cool off.
Liu Bowen just walked here, but also because the weather was very hot and leaned under the tree to cool off, Liu Bowen did not notice Zhu Yuanzhang at that time, in Liu Bowen's view, Zhu Yuanzhang was just an ordinary cowherd. But just after Liu Bowen turned around and saw Zhu Yuanzhang's face, he stood up in shock, he walked to Zhu Yuanzhang, and saw that although Zhu Yuanzhang's face was not very handsome, the heavenly court was full of square circles, and it was definitely the face of the emperor.
Goodbye Zhu Yuanzhang's head rests on a big tree, the whole limbs are separated, and the combination of man and wood is not a "heaven" word! Liu Bowen pinched his fingers, then teased Zhu Yuanzhang, picked up a piece of grass from the ground and scratched Zhu Yuanzhang's little feet. Zhu Yuanzhang did not wake up, turned around, Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously put out a sub-character, together is the meaning of the son of heaven!
Liu Bowen didn't quite believe that this was true, but he didn't dare to be sure whether this cowherd doll was a true dragon Tianzi or not, so he called him up. Zhu Yuanzhang saw the stranger in front of him and asked who was it? Liu Bowen gave Zhu Yuanzhang some broken silver, told Zhu Yuanzhang that his name was Liu Bowen, and then left.
Second, all the way to the rise
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the broken silver in his hand and watched Liu Bowen go away, not knowing what to say. In the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, the official field was dark and the people were not happy, and uprisings broke out in various places, and Liu Bowen resigned from his official post. Zhu Yuanzhang grew up and joined the rebel army, from a small soldier to a great general. Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen can also be regarded as a fate, the two people soon met again, Liu Bowen saw Zhu Yuanzhang's face, he thought of the cowherd baby Zhu Yuanzhang when he was a child, he was sure that Zhu Yuanzhang was the future true dragon Tianzi.
Zhu Yuanzhang can successfully become emperor and establish the Ming Dynasty, all rely on the guidance of Liu Bowen, although Zhu Yuanzhang's military generals can fight good battles, but lack of wisdom, Zhu Yuanzhang must have a wise person to accompany him to better lay the foundation. However, Liu Bowen is also testing Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang also understands in his heart that Liu Bowen is a high person, and his ideas are different from ordinary people, so he has great respect for Liu Bowen.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates did not think so, they seemed that Liu Bowen was just a fortune teller, and he would play some ghost tricks, which were useless at all, so he was very disrespectful to Liu Bowen. After Zhu Yuanzhang heard about this incident, he angrily deposed several generals who did not respect Liu Bowen.
Third, assist Zhu Yuanzhang
When Zhu Yuanzhang became the commander-in-chief, after his men who could recruit good warriors occupied the city, they acted recklessly, thinking that they were great generals who could do whatever they wanted, and there was no doubt about bandits. For this reason, Liu Bowen was very unaccustomed to them, but he had no right to take care of those great generals, and could only leave in anger.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Lan Yu went to a restaurant to ask for noodles, and the upstairs was noisy, and the owner of the small shop told Zhu Yuanzhang that the generals above could not afford it. And they never gave money for dinner, and even more excessively, they saw that his daughter had to pull up to drink with them. Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a bitter child since childhood, and he hated these things the most, but something even more excessive happened, these generals actually killed the boss, and the boss's daughter could only cry and call her father.
Those generals came down from the second floor and were frightened when they saw that it was Zhu Yuanzhang, but some of these generals were the sons and nephews of his good brothers, and if they killed them, they would definitely make the brothers chill. Moreover, many of his large armies entered the city and acted recklessly, causing the people to scold them as bandits, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who had no choice but to ask Liu Bowen for help.
Who ever thought that Liu Bowen actually did not want to help Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang knew Liu Bowen's temper, he ordered people to find Liu Bowen's residence and ask him to go out of the mountain, Liu Bowen was named a military division after he left the mountain, and managed those generals on behalf of Zhu Yuanzhang. Liu Bowen killed some generals who violated military rules, so that the common people no longer cared about Zhu Yuanzhang's army as bandits, and became rebels.
After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, in the face of complex and changeable politics, Liu Bowen put forward very good opinions, which made Zhu Yuanzhang very happy, and Liu Bowen, as a minister, also did a lot of things for Zhu Yuanzhang, especially local affairs. Since ancient times, local officials have been thinking of Emperor Shangao's far away misdeeds, and Liu Bowen has replaced Zhu Yuanzhang to inspect them and kill all corrupt officials. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also wrote the "Great Ming Law" in the Daming Law, which clearly stipulates that as long as the local people find that the local officials are committing wrongdoing, they can be sent to the capital for execution.
Fourth, the world's first strategist
This initiative was also put forward by Liu Bowen, and only in this way can the people be appeased. At the beginning, many ministers were also very dissatisfied with Liu Bowen and wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate Liu Bowen, and Liu Bowen's wisdom was comparable to them. Before they could do anything, Liu Bowen had already done it first, so Liu Bowen also became a god of the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Bowen's students were all over the world, and he often gave lessons to those students, and taught all his life's learning to those students, so that they could serve the Ming Dynasty.
5. Summary
Liu Bowen's view of Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance as an emperor has always been a folklore, which is not enough to believe. Liu Bowen was not as godly as the legend said, he just wholeheartedly served Zhu Yuanzhang. In addition, Liu Bowen can tell fortunes, and he often shows people faces and palms. However, he can help Zhu Yuanzhang lay down the country, he must have something superior.
The reason why the Ming Dynasty was well governed by Zhu Yuanzhang was also related to Zhu Yuanzhang's experience when he was a child, Zhu Yuanzhang suffered when he was a child, and when he grew up, he hated corrupt officials even more. Therefore, when he was emperor, he killed all the corrupt officials and showed no mercy, which won the support of the people.
