Zhu Yuanzhang asked how long the Daming National Games had been held. What did Liu Bowen say?

What was Liu Bowen's answer to Zhu Yuanzhang's sharp question? There are actually several versions, and I don't know which one is true. But no matter what he said, it can reflect one thing, that is, Liu Bowen was witty and everything he said came true.

One theory is that Liu Bowen only answered four words, "Ten thousand children, ten thousand grandchildren". These four words sound very auspicious, because Zhu Yuanzhang asked how long Daming's national luck was. So 10,000 sons and 10,000 grandchildren mean that Daming is prosperous and can last for many generations? However, there is another mystery in these short four words. The national movement of the Ming Dynasty began to decline from the Wanli period, and "Wan" among thousands of children and grandchildren was interpreted as "Wanli", which fulfilled Liu Bowen's prediction.

Another way of saying this is that Liu Bowen's answer is "peace will stop", which is easier to understand. This "harmony" is interpreted as referring to Li Zicheng, the founder of Dashun Dynasty. In fact, the Ming Dynasty really ended in the hands of Li Zicheng, the king of the dynasty. This statement has also come true.

There is another saying that Liu Bowen replied, "Although Daming is solid, he seems to be worried, lest swallows fly south.". People's interpretation of this sentence is that although Daming looks very stable and calm, he needs to watch out for the swallows in the north, that is, Judy, the prince of Yan. Sure enough, Judy rebelled shortly after Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne.

Although the three statements hold their own words, the final result is the same, that is, it highlights the unpredictable events in Liu Bowen, and every sentence is verified by the facts of later generations, which is really strange. ? No wonder there is a folk saying that Zhuge Liang is the best in the world and Liu Bowen is the best in the world, which fully praised Liu Bowen's China wisdom and great contribution to the Ming Dynasty.
