After Liu Bowen was buried, why did Zhu Yuanzhang order someone to dig his grave and open his coffin?
At that time, Liu Bowen was sued after his death, saying that he left a good land for future generations that could protect them and become monarchs. Because Zhu Yuanzhang was relatively small-minded and suspicious. When he employs people, if the person has offended him or is relatively talented, he will hold him accountable. And Liu Bowen was such a misfortune person, so once he was sued by a villain, Zhu Yuanzhang already believed it at that time, so he sent people to dig up Liu Bowen's grave.
When he assisted Zhu Yuanzhang in ascending the throne. He knew very well what kind of person Zhu Yuanzhang was, so Liu Bowen was wary of him even after his death, for fear that he would dig his own grave. It turned out that his worry was correct. So he asked his descendants to put a clear law in his tomb. The law said that no one could rob or dig the tomb. In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang felt very guilty, so he had no choice but to admit his mistake and build a tomb to make up for it.
Because Hu Weiyong had a grudge against him, he made up such lies to slander Liu Bowen, which made Zhu Yuanzhang very angry. Because his own process of ascending to this position was not very bright, he was also afraid that others would use the same method to kill him. Moreover, Liu Bowen was also a talented person during his lifetime, which made him very worried. So they took advantage of Hu Weiyong's words and sent people to dig the grave. But he didn't expect Liu Bowen to predict it in advance, so he failed to achieve his goal and made others laugh.
Even without the suggestion made by Hu Weiyong, Zhu Yuanzhang would still dig graves because he was not particularly big-bellied and had serious suspicions. He always suspected that others were going to deal with him, but no one did. What he thought was that Liu Bowen had guessed his move. It shows that in the process of assisting, each other was very clear about the other's character, so Liu Bowen left a way out for himself to avoid the decline of his descendants. Therefore, choosing a monarch is really a lifelong matter. When encountering someone like Zhu Yuanzhang, he may even be plotted to death, so Liu Bowen is really aggrieved.
