Liu Bowen's last words: Don't tell Zhu Yuanzhang the truth until this man dies. Send this basket of dead fish first.

Everyone is familiar with Liu Bowen, who is the founding hero of Zhu Yuanzhang. He is known as "knowing 500 years before, knowing 500 years later". All kinds of legends before his death eventually vanished with his death, but his last words left some mysteries. On the one hand, he sent a basket of dead fish to Zhu Yuanzhang. On the other hand, he turned what he had learned all his life into a book, but warned future generations not to read, and then gave the book to Zhu Yuanzhang after a person died.

What does this basket of dead fish represent? Why can't future generations inherit their own mantle? Who is that man?

Liu Bowen is a man who hates evil, and he is extremely accurate in judging people. He can often read Zhu Yuanzhang's mind. Zhu Yuanzhang trusted Li Shanchang, but Li Shanchang was generous and taboo at home. Liu Bowen had a quarrel with him because of his work and offended Li Shanchang, so Li Shanchang didn't report Liu Bowen to Zhu Yuanzhang. Later, Li Shanchang made a mistake, and Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to punish him, so he asked Liu Bowen for advice and wanted him to be the prime minister instead of Li Shanchang. Liu Bowen praised Li Shanchang for his outstanding achievements and high prestige, and advised Zhu Yuanzhang to be lenient, which surprised Zhu Yuanzhang very much.

Later, when Li Shanchang retired, the position of Prime Minister became vacant. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to appoint yang xian as Prime Minister. This yang xian was very kind to Liu Bowen at ordinary times, but Liu Bowen strongly opposed Zhu Yuanzhang's use of him on the grounds that yang xian was narrow-minded and selfish. Zhu Yuanzhang invited Hu again, but Liu Bowen thought that neither of them could do it, especially Hu, who might subvert.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know whether it was true or not. "It seems that I am the prime minister, and only you are the most suitable." Liu Bowen also declined, saying that he hated illness and didn't like to do trivial things, so that Zhu Yuanzhang would pay attention to others. Later, three people were killed by Zhu Yuanzhang.

It took Liu Bowen eight years to advise Zhu Yuanzhang before he became a founding father. However, only three years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liu Bowen returned to his hometown and Liu Bowen was far away from the power center. But Liu Bowen didn't stop when he returned to his hometown in Zhejiang. From time to time, Zhu Yuanzhang would write to Liu Bowen and ask him something, which was actually taboo in North Korean etiquette.

/kloc-in the first month of 0/375, Liu Bowen caught a cold, but it was not serious. Zhu Yuanzhang sent Hu to visit with the physician, but Hu took the opportunity to poison Liu Bowen. After more than half a month, Liu Bowen dragged his sick body to see Zhu Yuanzhang, and said that he got worse after taking the medicine of the physician, but Zhu Yuanzhang ignored it, just letting him rest assured that he would continue to recover from illness and not entertain foolish ideas.

This made Liu Bowen think that it was not Hu who poisoned him, but Zhu Yuanzhang himself. His mood at this time should be as chilling as Yu Xun's, so when he returned to his hometown, he refused to take medicine and died a few days later.

Before he died, he handed a gobbledygook to his eldest son, Mclynn Killman Liu, and asked Mclynn Killman Liu to give it to Zhu Yuanzhang at once. At the same time, he also gave Zhu Yuanzhang a basket of dead fish. At the same time, he also warned Mclynn Killman Liu not to let Liu's descendants learn the contents. Then, he told his second son, Liu Jing, "I have many views on current politics, and I know how to do it. Originally, I wanted to write a chapter about the emperor before I died, but now Hu is still in power, and sending this letter is also a great loss. However, after the fall of Hu, the emperor will definitely think of me and send someone to find you. At that time, you will tell the emperor my last words quietly! "

From the above story, I hope you can understand two things. The first is that although Liu Bowen has an honest and frank temperament and offended some people, he is very aware of his situation and knows how to retreat, but he is still caught in the whirlpool; The second is that Zhu Yuanzhang likes suspicion too much. His problems are sometimes traps. If you answer truthfully, Zhu Yuanzhang will see what you really think. Liu Bowen is also very clear about this.

What does it mean that Liu Bowen sent Zhu Yuanzhang a basket of dead fish before he died? There are mainly two kinds of guesses:

Guess 1: It implies a prophecy.

Some people say that a basket of fish crowded together and finally died, which is to remind Zhu Yuanzhang to beware of prisoners everywhere. They think that Liu Bowen is a prophet, and he must have seen that the c will rebel in the future, hoping that Zhu Yuanzhang would make preparations early. It is also possible that it is not the rebellion of the captaincy, but the hope that Zhu Yuanzhang will properly handle the hero. I hope Zhu Yuanzhang will carefully consider both the distribution and placement of rewards.

But in my opinion, this statement is groundless and interesting to know.

Guess 2: to save future generations.

Personally, I prefer the second statement, in order to save future generations. Because Liu Bowen knew that Hu was his sworn enemy and Zhu Yuanzhang had many scruples about himself, what he asked Zhu Yuanzhang to do before he died was to reassure him that his descendants would not be threatened.

On that day, this document is likely to have some kind of divination and prediction function. Liu Bowen told Zhu Yuanzhang not to let future generations know, that is, we Liu would never have such an unpredictable person as me. Please rest assured. Secondly, he didn't remonstrate with Zhu Yuanzhang when Hu was in power, because he couldn't let Zhu Yuanzhang feel his predictive ability, otherwise he might find a reason to annihilate the three clans.

Summary: Liu Bowen's talent is beyond doubt. It's a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang, the leader, is too suspicious, but Liu Bowen is a strict man. Therefore, although Zhu Yuanzhang loves talents, it is easy to know his inner thoughts and take precautions against him. After taking a back seat, Liu Bowen understood the way to survive, and knew that living was a trivial matter for Zhu Yuanzhang, so after being poisoned, he chose to give up treatment and properly arranged the things behind him.
