Why did Liu Bowen end up being poisoned by Zhu Yuanzhang?

Liu Bowen, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, was a strange man. In his early years, he was admitted as a scholar and served as an official of the Yuan Dynasty. Unfortunately, my career was not smooth and I was excluded. It was not until he met Zhu Yuanzhang, a distinguished man, that Liu Bowen had a stage to display his talents. He participated in planning the military plans to pacify Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang and the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and was famous for his strategizing.

The most popular stories about his strategizing are Pancake Song and Jinling Tower Ming. The former predicted the future trend of the Ming Dynasty, while the latter even predicted the events after the twentieth century. So, are these stories true?

Let's start with Pancake Song. The story of Pancake Song is that one day after the establishment of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was eating sesame cakes in the palace. I just took a bite, and then I heard the eunuch say that Liu Bowen was outside the temple. At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly wanted to take an examination of Liu Bowen, so he covered the baked wheat cake with a bowl and announced that Liu Bowen had entered the temple. Zhu Yuanzhang said, people say you have a clever plan, so do you know what's in my bowl? Liu Bowen pinched his finger and suddenly said, "Half is like the sun and half is like the moon. Once bitten by a golden dragon, this is a cake."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought Liu Bowen was really amazing, so he asked him what the future world would be like. Liu Bowen began to prevaricate, on the grounds that ventilation opportunities were punished. Later, I couldn't get rid of it, so I wrote Pancake Song. Speaking of it, this song "Pancake Song" is really mysterious. It not only predicted that Judy, the prince of Yan, would attack, but also predicted that Judy's national title would be "Yongle" after she ascended the throne, and even predicted that she would move her capital to the north in the future.

Is Liu Bowen's prediction really that accurate? There is a more amazing story. It is said that in 19 18, when the national army entered Nanjing, some soldiers found that there had been abnormal noise in Jinling Tower, which was very strange. So they reported the news layer by layer, and finally it reached Jiang Zhongzheng's ears. After the investigation in Jiang Zhongzheng, we couldn't find the reason. So he ordered the soldiers to tear down the tower. As a result, a monument was found at the location of the tower foundation, which was full of inscriptions. The first sentence on this inscription reads: Jinling Tower, Jinling Tower, Liu Jiji, Jieshi Demolition, Jinling Tower Demolition, and the soldiers and civilians commit suicide.

Boy, this is creepy enough. The tower was built by Liu Bowen, and later it will be demolished by Jiang Zhongzheng. When Jinling Tower is demolished, China will have a civil war (warlord scuffle). Except for the first sentence, the other words in this inscription are even more mysterious. For example, there is a saying: sunrise in the east and sunset in the west, and every household is miserable. De Xiaoyao, Yi Xiaoyao, a dream of a hundred years of prosperity. From now on, this sentence seems to indicate that Japan will be defeated by the West in the late World War II, while Germany and Italy will provoke World War II and make the prosperity of the European continent suffer from the war.

Is Liu Bowen really a fairy? In fact, there are many doubts in these stories that simply cannot stand scrutiny. Take "Pancake Song" as an example. This story is recorded in the book Yongle Dadian (written in Judy's period). The dialogue between Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen should have been just an interesting dialogue between the monarch and his subjects. It is likely that Liu Bowen blurted out the answer after carefully observing the wrong number of baked wheat cakes on the plate. The reason why we want to add a pancake song is just to show that Liu Bowen is an immortal. Judy's seizure of Zhu Yunwen was not rebellion, but "providence".

This kind of bridge is similar to that recorded in the Official History that Liu Bang and Zhao Kuangyin had red dragons and yellow dragons, and it is only a means to declare imperial power. As for the "Jinling Tower inscription", it is even more nonsense. 19 18, the national army did not enter Nanjing at all, and Jiang Zhongzheng did not have any activities in Nanjing at all. This "Jinling Tower inscription" was probably written by later generations under the guise of Liu Bowen. It is worth mentioning that it seems that anything about prophecy is always accompanied by Liu Bowen. When I was young, I often heard Liu Bowen's prediction from the older generation: cobwebs are all over the sky, and turtles are running around. Now, it seems to have come true again.
