Liu Bowen met Zhu Yuanzhang lying on the ground during his early study tour. Why can you predict that he will become an emperor?

10 years old, Zhu Yuanzhang was herding cattle to the landlord Liu Dejia. At noon that day, he was tired and hungry, lying in a daze under the shade of a tree, and couldn't help thinking of the history of his family's escape that his parents often told him.

I heard from my parents that my family has been farmers for generations. My ancestral home is Zhu Jiaxiang, Tongde Township, Jurong County, Jiangsu Province (now Jurong County, Nanjing).

Dad and grandpa move around like snails, moving and moving.

Grandpa Zhu Chuyi was exploited by landlords and Mongolian rulers and could not survive. He led his family to leave their hometown and fled to Sizhou (now Xuyi, Anhui Province) on the bank of Huaihe River to open up wasteland for farming. After his grandfather died, his family became poorer, and his father Zhu moved around and experienced many difficulties. At the age of 50, he settled in Dongxiang, Zhongli County, Haozhou (now Fengyang County, Anhui Province). It was here that he met a complicated blessing. He is very happy that the old son has a son named Zhu Chongba (Zhu Yuanzhang), and he is worried about how to support Zhu Chongba, because his family is poor and has no food. Zhu Chongba hasn't eaten enough since the day he was born.

When Zhu Yuanzhang 10 was old, his father Zhu moved again to avoid the exorbitant taxes and levies of the Yuan Dynasty. The whole family came to a remote village in Taiping Township to farm for the landlord Liu De, and Zhu Yuanzhang herded cattle for Liu De's family.

Zhu Yuanzhang herded cattle.

In the career of herding cattle, it is indispensable for landlords to beat and scold, and it is also common to go hungry. Fortunately, Xu Da, Tang He, Zhou Dexing and other children had a good time with Zhu Chongba, otherwise Zhu Chongba's childhood would be so gloomy. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely clever, scheming and appealing. There is a game that he likes to play best and enjoys it every day, and that is? When the emperor? The actor of the emperor will always be Zhu Chongba. He sat upright and made the children kneel in front of him, shouting? Long live? .

He was tired of playing that day, and Xu Da, Tanghe and other children also went home, only Zhu Yuanzhang was still herding cattle. The sun shines on Zhu Yuanzhang through the cracks in the leaves, which is warm. Unconsciously, he fell asleep. Just as he was asleep, Liu Bowen came.

Liu Bowen met Zhu Yuanzhang for the first time.

Liu Bowen was smart and studious since childhood. He was a scholar at the age of 12. A prodigy? He is obsessed with reading and reads widely. A hundred schools of thought contend and know everything, especially astronomy, geography, art of war and mathematics. He has a special hobby, devotes himself to research and ponder, is good at observing astronomical phenomena, and can pinch and calculate. According to the records of Ming history,

The classics and history of Ji are glimpsed in the book, especially the study of latitude? .

He's a young man? Xueba? At the age of 23, he was admitted to the Jinshi, and at the age of 26, he was an official in the Yuan Dynasty, ranking in the top eight. He is loyal to his duties and strictly enforces the law. He often goes deep into the people and deals with many corrupt officials in unannounced visits.

On this day, 27-year-old Liu Bowen visited Zhu Yuanzhang's cattle grazing place and saw an urchin sleeping soundly, which was shocking. I saw the little shepherd boy with a shoulder pole on his head, his arms straight and his legs spread apart, and he was in good health. Big? Words and poles are integrated, and Liu Bowen makes holes to see if this is one. God? Words. He is trying to count his fingers. Cattle in the distance? Huh? Let out a cry. Maybe it's the professional habit of the little shepherd boy. He grabbed the bullwhip around him and leaned sideways as if to get up. But he didn't open his eyes, just put the bullwhip stick across his waist, his knees bent and his toes pointed behind him. Maybe he was so tired that he fell asleep again. Liu Bowen a look surprised almost fell off his horse, this position is clearly a? Son? Words. Together? Son of heaven? . Liu Bowen close to carefully observe the little shepherd boy's face, firmly in mind, gently ride away.

Liu Bowen worked in Zhengbapin Office for five years. Because of his integrity and strict law enforcement, he offended many powerful people. These people banded together to get back at him, so Liu Bowen had to resign. In the 12th year of Zheng Zheng's reign (1352), in July (9 years later), the court of the Yuan Dynasty hired him again. After less than a year, he didn't like the corruption in the internal officialdom and resigned. Live in seclusion, repeatedly. Liu Bowen is a real talent and has been used by the imperial court many times.
