Liu Bowen, the "God Man", can be counted as a once-in-a-thousand-year event, but not as himself.

There is always a kind of people who are scarce in history, and the probability of their appearance is extremely low, even it will take hundreds of years to produce one, that is, we often say that they are good at calculating, knowing astronomy, geography, religions and five elements. These representatives include Zhuge Liang and Jiang Ziya in 800, Sean and Zhang Zifang in 400, and later Xu Maogong and Liu Bowen. In this section, we are going to talk about Liu Liu Jiborn.

Liu Bowen, whose real name is Liu Ji, is Bowen ―― People like him are collectively called "God Man". The word "God Man" is very particular. No matter how god he is, he is also a man, not a true god. But although he is human, he needs to be deified at a certain time. Therefore, when we come into contact with these so-called "gods", we will find many legends around them.

For example, "Zhuge Liang borrows the east wind", as if Zhuge Liang really borrows the east wind, but in fact he only knows astronomy-so the most important basic skill of the man of God is to know astronomy besides being able to calculate and predict skillfully. As we all know, in the past, people in China were familiar with things on land-farming civilization, but things in the sky were mysterious, so these mysterious and mysterious things were often combined with people who were wise to them.

Liu Bowen is no exception, and his experience has not escaped our routine summary of this kind of man of God. Many people say that Liu Bowen is from Wenzhou, which is not accurate. He is from Nanshan Township, qingtian county, Wenzhou. At that time, Liu Bowen became a hermit with a few good friends. Why is he together? Hermits are often very lonely. These people together, four people can play mahjong, one person can fight the landlord-of course, this is a joke. He found some friends to live in seclusion together.

These friends are called Ye Chen, Song Lian and Zhang Yi. Together with Liu Bowen, they are called "Four Hermits in East Zhejiang" and "Four Celebrities in East Zhejiang". Later, Song Lian took refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang first. By A.D. 1360, Hu Dahai, the general of Zhu Yuanzhang, had attacked the city and pulled out the village, hitting Chuzhou, not far from Liu Bowen's seclusion. He heard that "Four Hermits in East Zhejiang" was very famous, and Song Lian had taken refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang at that time, so please leave those three people behind.

At this invitation, both Ye Chen and Zhang Yi came, but Liu Bowen didn't come. Why? Large spectrum. Hu Dahai told Zhu Yuanzhang about it. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't take Liu Bowen seriously, but he didn't come after listening to it several times, which made him feel a little interesting! With or without ability, Hu Dahai is a military commander. I will send a civilian to chat with Liu Bowen! It doesn't work! Liu Bowen then put on airs.

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang sent a military attache named Sun Yan to invite him, and Liu Bowen was still there, saying that he was in poor health recently. At this moment, Sun Yan pulled out his sword and gave Liu Bowen a fright. Sun Yan said: "This sword should be dedicated to the son of heaven to kill those unfortunate people." This sentence is too powerful. He said that my sword was always ready to be dedicated to the son of heaven to kill disobedient people. Liu Bowen thought, men don't eat immediate loss, go and have a look first! Then, he obediently followed Sun Yan to Zhu Yuanzhang's army.

At first, Zhu Yuanzhang regarded him as a fortune teller, and it was better to invite him to come-shooting rabbits at 30 nights, using it for the New Year, not using it for the New Year-without taking him too seriously. But in the later war, he found that Liu Bowen was great! At that time, he was called a coup, but in fact, his analysis and prediction of the situation were very accurate. By A.D. 1363, the whole situation of peasant uprising at the end of Yuan Dynasty was obvious, and the world powers were Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang. At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang was nominally managed by the Red Scarf Army in Han Liner, Wang Xiaoming, and Han Liner was king. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's power far exceeded that of Han Liner.

At this time, Zhang Shicheng bypassed Zhu Yuanzhang and went north to Anfeng now. In Anfeng, Han Liner and Liu Futong are in charge. In order to occupy this city, Han Liner and Liu Futong must die. So Han Liner gave Zhu Yuanzhang an order to save himself. Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu Bowen if he would go or not. Liu Bowen shook his head and said no.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe him and led the troops to war. As a result, An Feng didn't keep it, but Zhang Shicheng won it. An Feng fell, but he saved Han Liner. How to arrange him? Nominally, he should be emperor. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang's power increased day by day, and this Han Liner drowned in the water in time. Almost everyone thinks that Zhu Yuanzhang hurt him. As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang also lost the notoriety of "regicide" in this matter. If you listen to Liu Bowen, let Zhang Shicheng directly destroy Han Liner, isn't this neat? So Zhu Yuanzhang regretted it. Thinking of Liu Bowen's greatness, he thought I should reuse this character. Since then, whenever there is a military event, he will definitely consult with Liu Bowen.

Zhu Yuanzhang once commented that Liu Bowen said:

(Liu Ji) studied under heaven and man, both civil and military; His spirit is just and upright, and his talent is great. The breadth of discussion has crossed the times; During the interference, one party is in control. Generally speaking, first, Chen Yuanlve; After the outline of the country, use troops first. You can talk, I can judge, I can use, and the style is as far away as today. Everything is clear and effective.

It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang relied heavily on Liu Bowen.

Later, Liu Bowen became more and more famous. He not only knows the military ―― it is said that Liu Bowen's predictive ability far exceeds this, and he can predict anything. There is a book in Liu Bowen called Pancake Song, written in verse, which is about 19 12 words. What did Liu Bowen predict in it? It was five hundred years after Zhu Yuanzhang, such as the change of the civil fort, Wei Zhongxian's dictatorship, the hanging of Jingshan Park by Chongzhen, the entry of the Qing Dynasty, the flourishing age of Kang Yong, the haircut of * * *, the literary inquisition of Daxing, and so on. To put it bluntly, just kidding, why did Emperor Qianlong meet Xia in Daming Lake in Jinan a few years ago? He knows everything about Princess Zhu Huan.

What's going on here? It is recorded in history that Liu Bowen entered the palace and Zhu Yuanzhang summoned him. Zhu Yuanzhang said, I heard that you have a lot of ideas, and everyone has known it in the last 500 years. How many years can the Ming Dynasty and the Zhu family last? Liu Bowen said, the emperor, you are a grandson, why do you ask me? Of course, it sounds like kissing Zhu Yuanzhang's ass, which means that it will be passed down from generation to generation, from generation to generation and over ten thousand generations! What did people attach to the meeting later? Said this is Liu Bowen's prophecy, you Zhujiajian world will be finished by Emperor Chongzhen!

What do you mean by "future generations"? Emperor Chongzhen's grandfather is Emperor Wanli of Ming Shenzong, which means that Emperor Chongzhen is the grandson of Emperor Wanli, which means that your seat will end when the grandson of Emperor Wanli arrives. As soon as I said it, everyone thought it was far-fetched ―― this legend just said that Liu Bowen's prophecy was magical. So, you don't have to take these things seriously.

However, Liu Bowen was in big trouble. We all know that Zhu Yuanzhang is good at killing heroes. This world is set, and Liu Bowen knows that a wily rabbit dies and a running dog cooks; Birds are exhausted, and good bows are hidden; Destroy the enemy and the counselor will die. It will not come to a good end to follow such a suspicious advocate as Zhu Yuanzhang. So, Liu Bowen asked for retirement and returned to Qingtian for the aged.

Zhu Yuanzhang disagreed, because the civil servants of the dynasty were fighting within the party at that time. China feudal society has always had the tradition of party struggle. You see how fierce the struggle between the two parties was in Kangxi Dynasty. At that time, Li Shanchang became prime minister. Li Shanchang's hometown is in Huaixi, so the school with him is called Huaixi School. Among the civil servants in the Qing Dynasty, this group was the most powerful. If Liu Bowen goes back, no one can restrain Li Shanchang. So Zhu Yuanzhang hoped that Liu Bowen would stay and restrict Li Shanchang. Liu Bowen had no choice but to stay ―― he really didn't want to stay because he knew that sooner or later there would be no good fruit to eat.

It is said that one day Zhu Yuanzhang called Liu Bowen in and said that although Li Shanchang was a veteran with outstanding achievements, he was a little cowardly and ignorant as the right prime minister of Zhongshu Province, and now he was thinking about rectifying Zhongshu Province. Liu Bowen was scared out in a cold sweat. The emperor said he would change Li Shanchang, but Liu Bowen couldn't answer. Liu Bowen is very clever, immediately stood up and said respectfully, this kind of world affairs, where do I dare to talk nonsense? Let's be the sacred judges of the emperor. Let's solve this problem. As a result, the emperor said a few more candidates, let him see who is suitable to be prime minister. The first is Yang Xian, the second is the official department minister, and the third is the provincial consultant Hu Zhongshu.

In fact, don't underestimate Zhu Yuanzhang's words-this is a leader's inspection of you, depending on your grasp of the situation. At that time, Liu Bowen replied that the three ministers could not bear the responsibility of the Prime Minister. Yang xian is talented, but he has no bearing as a prime minister. Wang Guangyang is narrow and shallow, not as good as yang xian; Hu Youcai has a degree, but he is impatient and resolute, and he will report any complaints. It doesn't hurt to be an assistant minister. If you put him in the position of prime minister, I'm afraid he will be driven away by an unruly wild bison and will be overthrown sooner or later.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened and thought his answer was quite appropriate. Then he asked, "I want to take Li Shanchang down and make you the prime minister." ? At that time, Liu Bowen was stupid again, saying that he was sickly and incompetent for complicated government affairs; Secondly, he is straightforward and outspoken. If he becomes prime minister, his temper will offend the emperor sooner or later, and then the emperor will kill me-even for his own life, he will never dare to usurp the position of prime minister.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it and it was broken. If you want to use this Liu Bowen, he must make trouble ―― he is capable and will not be mediocre. At this time, the world is set, and Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't want to use homo habilis any more ―― he is the greatest homo habilis himself ―― you just need to be mediocre, do as I say, and be a running dog. So, this temptation, Zhu Yuanzhang thought, I can't use Liu Bowen, but I have to let him go. Someone wants to rebel, what should I do if I find him to deal with me? At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang has been exposed. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang invited Hu to visit Liu Bowen. At that time, Liu Bowen was at home, and Hu took too many doctors ―― besides, Zhu Yuanzhang gave him medicine to eat. Unexpectedly, after taking this medicine, Liu Bowen not only failed to get better, but became more and more ill and died in a short time.

Many people know this history. Hu did not dare to do anything to Liu Bowen. He dared to cure too much because he tampered with the medicine, which was allowed by Zhu Yuanzhang. So Liu Bowen never ran out of the palm of Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, which is also inevitable in the history of China. Cai Yuanpei once commented that Liu Bowen said:

The times make heroes, strategize and make contributions to the next generation.

This can be said to be a high evaluation of Liu Bowen by later generations.

Feudal emperors killed heroes whenever they came up. Why? He used to use these capable people because he had powerful enemies to deal with. Now the world is settled, the strongest enemy is gone, and the biggest enemy has become a hero around him-because they are the most capable! Where are the loyal ministers here? No way, the cost of determining whether this person is a loyal minister or a traitor is too high, and it takes time to test. The most convenient thing is to kill all the loyal subjects and traitors, so as to avoid endless future trouble. This is the cheapest and most efficient way to make the world permanent. Therefore, no matter how magical and ingenious Liu Bowen is, it cannot escape the law of historical rise and fall.
