Liu Bowen's descendants were not allowed to learn the art of emperors before his death, so how did his descendants live?

There may be a very interesting phenomenon in modern society: some people's parents are doctors, but their parents don't want their children to be doctors in the future; If their parents are teachers, some parents don't want their children to be teachers in the future. The reason is that their parents have worked all their lives and know the hardships and difficulties in the industry. They don't want their children to suffer in it. In ancient times, there were people who didn't want their children to take the old road they had taken.

Liu Ji is such a person.

Speaking of Liu Ji, some people may not be familiar with it. But friends who love watching TV plays in Ming Dynasty may be familiar with the name Liu Bowen. Yes, they are the same person, and the blog post is his word. Liu Bowen was born in qingtian county, which is now wencheng county, Zhejiang. At home, someone has long been an official in the court. Since the Song Dynasty, Liu Bowen's great-grandfather was an official in the imperial court. His great-grandfather was very clever and decisive. At that time, it coincided with the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the villagers of the Liu family participated in the anti-Yuan uprising, but the result was still a failure. The officers and men of the Yuan Dynasty sent people to count the list of rebellions. Liu Bowen's great-grandfather set fire to the houses with lists to protect those people.

When the house caught fire, the officers and men had to make up a list, so Liu Bowen's great-grandfather saved many lives in this way. Imagine how Liu Bowen, who grew up in such a family, could be a silly child.

Everyone knows that Liu Bowen knows astronomy above and geography below, which is inseparable from his efforts the day after tomorrow. Liu Bowen likes reading very much. He is not only proficient in the subset of classics and history, but also can calculate divination and predict the weather. In the Yuan Dynasty, Liu Bowen took part in the talent selection examination, and was later successfully hired as a county magistrate in Jiangxi. However, Liu Bowen doesn't like hanging out in officialdom. He is essentially a scholar who concentrates on his studies. So Liu Bowen was later transferred to the place equivalent to today's provincial education department until he met a wave of peasant uprisings in the Yuan Dynasty.

Liu Bowen is a strange man. He hated the corruption and brutal rule of the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty, but at the same time he thought that cannibalism should contribute to the imperial court. At first, Fang Guozhen sent troops, a local rebel, against the Yuan Dynasty, and Liu Bowen helped the Yuan Dynasty suppress the uprising. Later, Fang Guozhen's national strength weakened, and he planned to surrender to the imperial court for a respite. Liu Bowen saw through Fang Guozhen's intentions at a glance and tried to dissuade his boss from listening to Fang Guozhen's nonsense, but no one listened to him. So, Liu Bowen left the court in a fit of pique and resigned.

Later, Liu Bowen met Zhu Yuanzhang, the person who knew him best and understood him least in his life. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was just a small leader of the rebel army, with a korean king Han Liner on it, but Liu Bowen paid no attention to anyone except Zhu Yuanzhang. In Liu Bowen's eyes, Han Liner was just a naive child, and he assumed that Zhu Yuanzhang was by no means a thing in the pool.

Everyone knows that Zhu Yuanzhang loves to kill heroes. Among these heroes, Liu Bowen's contribution to Zhu Yuanzhang is the second highest, if not the highest, especially to Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang, the greatest enemy he faced in his life. Liu Bowen not only advised Zhu Yuanzhang, but also saved his life. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the command ship, directing operations. Suddenly, Liu Bowen had a hunch, so he immediately jumped on another ship with Zhu Yuanzhang, just as the command ship was hit by enemy shells. The enemy thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would die, but they wanted to save Zhu Yuanzhang's life with a Liu Bowen. So the enemy was in chaos, and finally Zhu Yuanzhang won the victory and won the world.

Generally speaking, when you become a hero, you must hope that your children will be very important people in the future, and educate them to assist the emperor from an early age. But Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion and hero's killing changed Liu Bowen's heart.

On one occasion, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to try Liu Bowen's predictive ability, so he put a piece of baked wheat cake in his teacup and took a bite to see how Liu Bowen's divination ability was. As a result, Liu Bowen didn't keep a low profile and told Zhu Yuanzhang that this object was half like the sun and half like the moon. It was bitten by the golden dragon, so it disappeared. On the surface, Zhu Yuanzhang admired him, but at the same time, he was also vaguely uneasy. What's he thinking? It's not bad that Liu Bowen cracked it so easily.

At the request of Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen also predicted the future, which seemed uncertain at that time, but it was not bad at all for later generations. He accurately predicted that Judy would occupy the Zhu Yunwen world and the capital would move northward. Of course, it is also possible that future generations have over-mythologized it.

Liu Bowen's greatest dream is to be a prime minister. On one occasion, Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to choose three prime ministers. Liu Bowen first denied the three candidates mentioned by Zhu Yuanzhang, and then he very much hoped that Zhu Yuanzhang could say that he was the prime minister, but Zhu Yuanzhang thought, "Old boy, when I am stupid, the more you don't let others fall for it, the more I want to choose someone else instead of you." Therefore, the gap between the monarch and his subjects is getting bigger and bigger, which leads to Liu Bowen's idea that his children should not learn the art of emperors in the future.

However, his two sons were not involved in the political disputes of later generations as he hoped. Among them, his eldest son Mclynn Killman Liu, only 32 years old, was persecuted to death by Hu. And his second son, Liu Jing, is a very ambitious man in officialdom, and he was also the most worried son of Liu Bowen.

Liu Jing was later involved in the battle of Jingnan. He wanted to contribute to Zhu Yunwen with the tip left by Liu Bowen, but it was always ignored. Later, when Nanjing was broken, Judy became the emperor and wanted him to surrender, but Liu Jing refused to surrender. Judy had no choice but to lock him up. This brother is also a cruel man. He hanged himself with a big braid in prison. I wonder what it would be like for Liu Bowen to see his two sons in officialdom.
