Meet a historical figure one day - Liu Bowen
Life events
1. When he was young, Liu Ji was talented and eager to learn. He was enlightened in literacy and reading by his father. The speed is extremely fast, and it is said that all seven elements can move down. The elders in the countryside called him a "child prodigy" when he passed the examination as a scholar at the age of 12. Later Liu Ji entered the government to study, and he studied the Spring and Autumn Classics under his tutelage. Not only could he recite it fluently after reading it silently twice, but he also had different profound insights. The teacher who taught him was astonished and called him a genius! Liu Ji read a lot of books, and he was familiar with hundreds of scholars. He was particularly obsessed with astronomy, geography, military art and mathematics. He devoted himself to studying and figuring out and became very proficient.
2. His official career was troubled. In 1333, 23-year-old Liu Tomb took part in the general examination and passed the Jinshi examination in one fell swoop. Later, he became an eighth-grade county commissioner and assisted the county magistrate in handling government affairs. He was diligent in his duties, enforced the law strictly, and had considerable political achievements. However, because of his integrity, the local gentry hated him and always wanted to find trouble to frame him. Fortunately, the chief and his subordinates trusted his character and avoided trouble.
After resigning, Liu Ji returned to his hometown. In 1343, the imperial court again recruited him as an official. Later, because he failed to get the support of the ministers of the DPRK and China for reporting and supervising the censorship, he had to submit a letter to resign.
3. Helping the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in 1360, Liu Ji was invited to Nanjing by Zhu Yuanzhang and appointed him as an adviser. Based on the situation at that time, Liu Ji proposed to Zhu Yuanzhang the strategy of avoiding two fronts and defeating each other, which was adopted. Assisted Zhu Yuanzhang to concentrate his forces to destroy Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and other forces.
Liu Bowen also suggested to Zhu: On the one hand, he should break away from the forces of "Little Ming King" Han Lin'er Bai Li, but on the other hand, he should use "Da Ming" as the country's name to attract the hearts of the world's righteous teachers. In 1367, he participated in the formulation of Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy to destroy the Yuan Dynasty, and was able to realize it. He participated in the military for eight years and planned the overall situation.
4. Not showing favoritism, the Ming Dynasty established a great title as a meritorious official, and Liu Ji was awarded the title of Bo Chengyi. Once, when Taizu wanted to punish Prime Minister Li Shanchang for something, Liu Ji persuaded him: "Although he made mistakes, he has made great contributions, has high prestige, and can reconcile the generals." Taizu said: He wants to harm you again and again, but you still put yourself in his shoes? I want to make you prime minister instead.
Liu Jijian refused. Later Li Shanchang resigned and returned home. Taizu wanted to appoint Yang Xian as prime minister. Yang Xian treated Liu Ji very well, but Liu Ji still strongly objected: Yang Xian has the talent to be prime minister, but he does not have the courage to be prime minister. Sure enough, Yang Xian and others were later convicted for the incident.
5. After resigning and going into seclusion, Zhu Yuanzhang's mentality began to change, and he was not of my own kind. His heart must be different! This is the consistent thinking of all emperors, but Zhu Yuanzhang made it even more harsh and unfeeling. Because of this, Liu Ji resigned and returned home the next year. Although Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his hometown, he was very suspicious. He found it difficult to control him when people were not around him, and he even wanted to get rid of him quickly. Liu Ji also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would not trust him, so his son stayed in Beijing as an official and was regarded as a hostage.
