Liu Bowen clearly has a gold medal from death given by Zhu Yuanzhang, why did he finally submit to humiliation?

Because the human heart is always fickle, let alone the heart of an emperor. Let you live or let you die, it all depends on the emperor's idea. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang gave Liu Bowen a gold medal to avoid death, only because Zhu Yuanzhang admired him at that time. Many things have changed after many years. Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang has also changed. He has a bad temper and is becoming more and more suspicious, even killing many people because of some trivial things. Especially for Confucian scholars and civil servants, they are even more wary.

The famous Liu Bowen, who won a decisive battle thousands of miles away, is known as the first minister in the world, and is the only person in the history of China who is as famous as Zhu Gekongming. Liu Bowen is famous all over the world for his knowledge of Confucian classics, astronomy and methods of selecting soldiers. He assisted Zhu Yuanzhang to complete the imperial industry, created the Ming Dynasty, and tried his best to maintain the stability of the country. So it is not surprising that Zhu Yuanzhang saved Liu Bowen from death.

However, although Liu Bowen is very capable, he has a common fault of a wise man, which is arrogance. This made Zhu Yuanzhang very angry. As we all know, Zhu Yuanzhang is a grassroots, and Liu Bowen is not the same person. Liu Bowen even with great skill, in zhu yuanzhang there is self-righteous!

Liu Bowen has integrity. When Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to build Fengyang as his capital, many people knew that this would not work, but only Liu Bowen resolutely opposed it. Facts have proved that Zhu Yuanzhang was wrong. Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he had hit his face and hated Liu Bowen even more.

But I think that Zhu Yuanzhang's dissatisfaction with Liu Bowen should have accumulated for a long time. The reason is that Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion is increasingly rampant. He even tried to kill Li Shanchang, the first hero of Daming, but he was finally stopped by Ma Huanghou, so for Liu Bowen, a scholar, he was already a fish on the chopping board.
