What's the truth about Liu Bowen, the militarist of Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty?

Giving orders is certainly false, but predicting the weather through observation is true. Liu Bowen has read many poetry books since he was a child. He is not only ingenious, but also very proficient in Feng Shui. It is said that he can predict the future through divination.

Liu Bowen, the counselor around Zhu Yuanzhang, can be said to have made great contributions to helping Zhu Yuanzhang farmland. In addition, there are many folk stories about Liu Bowen, when Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, led an army to the south of the Yangtze River. Zhu Yuanzhang, who came to the south of the Yangtze River, was very surprised, because it was very close to the south, and the place that should not be short of water was so dry at this time. So he dismounted and asked Liu Bowen why this happened. In fact, Liu Bowen had expected that Zhu Yuanzhang would ask him this question. So he replied that it didn't rain because there were too many grievances here, and I'm afraid there were too many grievances here. Zhu Yuanzhang sent people to investigate with a grain of salt, and found out many unjust, false and wrong cases. After Zhu Yuanzhang personally released all the wrongly sentenced prisoners here, it was overcast and raining heavily. From then on, Zhu Yuanzhang became more convinced of Liu Bowen.

Later, Liu Bowen followed Zhu Yuanzhang all the way to establish the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had just firmly ruled, and at this time, the capital caught up with the drought, which made Zhu Yuanzhang very worried. At this time, Ming Taizu remembered Liu Bowen's experience of begging for rain, so he ordered someone to invite Liu Bowen. Liu Bowen came to see Zhu Yuanzhang and said that after the soldiers who died in this war were buried, the pensions of their families must be in place as soon as possible, and the bodies of craftsmen who died because of repairing the city should also be buried well. When all these things are finished, please invite me out in the rain, and I will succeed.

Zhu Yuanzhang had his first experience and was convinced of Liu Bowen's words. He immediately sent his men to complete the task strictly, even personally, and invited Liu Bowen out only after he settled down. Liu Bowen looked at the setting sun in the sky and said, please fast for another three days, and then there will be heavy rain. Liu Bowen, zhu yuanzhang, of course, dare not disobey, so a truce for three days. Three days later, the rainstorm came as promised. Liu Bowen can't give orders, of course, but he can predict the weather and help Zhu Yuanzhang understand the sufferings of the people.
