Why didn't Liu Bowen escape from Zhu Yuanzhang's clutches?

Liu Bowen, as a famous founding minister of the Ming Dynasty, was praised as the strategy of governing the country, and Zhu Yuanzhang's success could not be separated from this strategist. Now even many fortune tellers will play the banner of Liu Bowen, saying that their master originated from Liu Bubu's seed, and he could not be pushed out for hundreds of years before and after his death. And this wise SHEN WOO Liu, the final outcome is that all kinds of calculations can't escape from Zhu Yuanzhang's liquidation clutches.

It is said that after Zhu Yuanzhang mastered the world, he gave many founding generals the title of Duke, but refused to give Liu Bowen a better title. He also gave him an official position that could obviously offend many colleagues and let him supervise the civil and military affairs of the Qing Dynasty. And Liu Bowen's temper is straightforward, so this job soon provoked many senior officials.

A few years later, Liu Bowen also felt more and more tired. He knew that he could no longer be with Zhu Yuanzhang, and he planned to retire and spend the rest of his life safely. But before he left, he was still persuading Zhu Yuanzhang not to let Hu be the prime minister, but Zhu Yuanzhang insisted that Hu should be the prime minister. Hu Dui and Liu Bowen didn't handle it well, which made him hate Liu Bowen even more. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Hu to set a trap for Liu Bowen, falsely claiming that Liu Bowen deliberately occupied a piece of kingly land, and made it clear that he had ulterior motives. This made Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already afraid of SJMS in Liu Bowen, even more afraid and tricked Liu Bowen back to Beijing.

Liu Bowen, who returned to Beijing this time, knew that he was even dying. Sure enough, he became seriously ill soon after he returned to Beijing. Zhu Yuanzhang took the opportunity to send Hu to deliver medicine. Liu Bowen drank the medicine and died, still planning for Daming's future before he died.

Although this incident left the biggest doubt to Hu, even the blind can see what role Zhu Yuanzhang played in this incident. At best, Hu only added fuel to the fire, and Zhu Yuanzhang was the real decision maker. Without Zhu Yuanzhang's acquiescence, even if Hu was given a hundred courage, he would not dare to murder the founding hero by such obvious means. To some extent, we can also see how terrified Zhu Yuanzhang was of Liu Bowen, and Liu Bowen didn't have much handle to let Zhu Yuanzhang openly kill Liu Bowen, so he had to use other people's means to secretly poison him.

Liu Bowen was loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang all his life and devoted himself to Daming. Moreover, he was not the kind of reckless person who didn't know how to advance and retreat, and he didn't lack the determination to retire quickly, but he was murdered and poisoned in the end. This can only be said to be the tragedy of the founding heroes.
