Liu Bowen saw Zhu Yuanzhang lying on the ground during his early study tour. Why did he become emperor?

It is said that when Liu Bowen traveled to Fengyang in Anhui in his early years, he met Zhu Yuanzhang, a child who was herding cattle in the field. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was sleeping on a cow, with his back to the sky, and the whole person was one? Big? Font, Liu Bowen was surprised and thought: Isn't this? God? Words? ?

So Liu Bowen approached Zhu Yuanzhang again, grabbed a handful of dog tail grass and scratched his feet. In his sleep, Zhu Yuanzhang felt the soles of his feet itch a little, so he turned around subconsciously, bent his feet and bowed, with one hand in front and the other in the back. When Liu Bowen saw it, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: Isn't it? Son? Words? ?

Together, the two words are the son of heaven. Liu Bowen asserted on the spot that this child has the style of an emperor, and you will be an emperor in the future. Sure enough, when Zhu Yuanzhang grew up, he really became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This story has been told by many people for hundreds of years, but in fact? This is just a standard folk story. ?

Because Liu Bowen was 17 years older than Zhu Yuanzhang, according to historical records, Liu Ji had been studying in Qingtian, Zhejiang in his early years. It was not until he 17 years old that he came to Anhui because he visited Huizhou, the hometown of Neo-Confucianism in Zhu Cheng. Zhu Yuanzhang was just born at this time, so they can't have an intersection. After visiting Huizhou, Liu Bowen returned to his hometown to study. Then, at the age of 23, he went to the capital of the Yuan Dynasty (now Beijing) to take the exam and was admitted to the Jinshi in one fell swoop.

But because it was a war-torn era, Liu Bowen didn't become an official immediately after he was admitted to the Jinshi, but stayed at home for three years. At the age of 26, he was named Cheng (Zhengbapin) in Gao 'an County, Jiangxi Province by the Yuan court, and has lived in Gao 'an County, Jiangxi Province for the next five years. That is to say, from the age of 23 to 3 1 year, Liu Bowen only stayed in three places, namely Qingtian Dadu in Zhejiang and Gaoan County in Jiangxi.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was just 6 to 14 years old, but he stayed in a village in Fengyang, Anhui. In this sense, Liu Bowen didn't have the so-called freedom to go to Fengyang, Anhui Province, and he didn't have any intersection with young Zhu Yuanzhang.

Ten thousand steps back, if Liu Bowen really met Zhu Yuanzhang, he also figured it out, Zhu Yuanzhang is the future son of heaven, so why didn't he bet in advance and invite him to Nanjing when Zhu Yuanzhang developed?

Even now he knows that the Yuan Dynasty will be replaced by Zhu Yuanzhang, why should he help the Yuan Dynasty suppress the peasant uprising? He even resigned in a rage because the Yuan Dynasty wanted to surrender to the rebels. Isn't that contradictory?

In fact, this so-called rumor is like those so-called stories that your mother was raped by a dragon and your mother dreamed of the sun in her arms when she gave birth to you. Who can see colorful clouds from your head; What mysterious old man says your face is expensive; What other eighteen sons are the same in the world? They are all kowtowing to the mythical imperial power of imperial literati. Their propaganda purpose is only to tell the world that these people are destined to be emperors.
