Why did Zhu Yuanzhang give Liu Bowen the gold medal from death, but he was doomed to die in the end?

Because Liu Bowen was fooled by Zhu Yuanzhang, the death-free gold medal has a time limit, and the death-free gold medal beyond the time limit is invalid. Liu Bowen accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang's expedition to the East and gave him advice. It can be said that he made great contributions to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty and the stability of the regime. It's a pity that Liu Bowen, though clever, doesn't begin to understand people. He can't talk, and he can't please people. Therefore, although Zhu Yuanzhang trusted him and followed his advice, he never liked him in his heart.

One thing that happened later made Zhu Yuanzhang feel bad about Liu Bowen from the bottom of my heart. Zhu Yuanzhang went to war and met with a strong attack from the enemy. Just when the war broke out, Liu Bowen stepped forward to take charge of the overall situation and stabilized the situation. From then on, Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that Liu Bowen would one day replace his position with political talent.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded these founding fathers and gave each of them a gold medal to avoid death. Liu Bowen happily put it away without looking closely. Slowly, Liu Bowen saw through Zhu Yuanzhang's doubts about himself, and took the initiative to personally resign from the emperor, ready to go home.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion is not normal. Even though Liu Bowen had resigned and returned to his hometown, he was worried that he was not good to himself, so he ordered someone to send him a glass of poisoned wine. At a critical juncture, Liu Bowen remembered the gold medal for avoiding death, but he never expected that the back of the sign read "Expired and Invalid", and a gold medal for avoiding death forced Liu Bowen to die.

So, after all, Liu Bowen never played Zhu Yuanzhang, an old fox, and was completely fooled by him. He didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion to be so heavy that he would be so driven to extinction. But then again, even if those four words are not written on the back of the gold medal, I'm afraid I have to die if you want me to die.
