Zhu Yuanzhang valued Liu Bowen. What major decisions did Liu Bowen participate in?
Words to 19 years, that is, AD 1359, Liu Bowen was hired by Zhu Yuanzhang and came to Zhu Yuanzhang to advise him.
Liu Bowen is also very dedicated. He wrote a letter stating the 18 policies of current politics and participated in the planning and appeasement of important events such as Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang.
Among them, the most important thing is that Liu Bowen correctly analyzed the situation at that time and put forward the correct suggestion of destroying Chen Youliang first and then taking Zhang Shicheng, which played a decisive role in the downfall of Zhu Yuanzhang.
As a strategist, Liu Bowen helped Zhu Yuanzhang to pacify the world, which was Liu Bowen's greatest contribution.
In this regard, Zhu Yuanzhang also admitted that Liu Bowen was my ovary.
Ovary, who is it? So was Sean, the founding hero of the Han Dynasty. Sean, Han Xin and Xiao He are also called "three outstanding heroes of early han dynasty". At that time, Liu Bang even commented on Sean: I won the battle thousands of miles away, and I was not as good as the ovary.
Zhu Yuanzhang compared Liu Bowen to Sean of the Han Dynasty. Obviously, he still attaches great importance to Liu Bowen, and should be on the same level as Xu Da and Li Shanchang.
But in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little selfish when he rewarded the work. He just rewarded the Huaixi brothers in his hometown and kept the achievements of Zhejiang and other places. Anyone with a discerning eye can see this.
Two: Please customize legislation and strengthen centralization. People say: it's easier to fight a river than to defend it.
After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang also felt this way. Fortunately, he has an excellent "master planner"-Liu Bowen.
In the early Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen strongly invited Zhu Yuanzhang to customize the legislation. Liu Bowen believes that the rule of law is a powerful guarantee for a country's long-term stability, which coincides with the modern thought of rule of law.
At the same time, Liu Bowen also called on Zhu Yuanzhang to formulate a military defense law, rectify military discipline, implement the defense system, and strengthen and consolidate centralization, which was very necessary for the newly established Ming Dynasty.
In this way, Liu Bowen is indeed an outstanding talent, who not only helped Zhu Yuanzhang win the world, but also helped Zhu Yuanzhang govern the world.
Third, pave the way for a new generation of writing style in the early Ming Dynasty. In fact, Liu Bowen was not only an excellent counselor, but also an important poet in the early Ming Dynasty.
His literary works have a wide range of themes and rich contents, and he is good at writing and using allusions.
Famous poems include Li Yu Ion and Orangeman's Speech.
Among them, my favorite is Liu Bowen's "The Word of Orange Juice". There is such a passage in it, which is very tasty, as follows:
I'm speechless. Looking back on this orange, he felt like a Dong Fangshuo, as witty as Dong Fangshuo. Is he a person who hates the evil in the world? So, is it ironic to use citrus as an excuse?
How's it going? A little critical, right?
As the "three masters of poetry and prose in the early Ming Dynasty" together with Song Lian and Gao Qi, Liu Bowen played a pioneering role in the development of a new generation of literary styles in the early Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty commented on him as follows: "The articles he wrote are prosperous and strange, just like Song Lian."
In fact, Liu Bowen has made many contributions.
For example, when I was in Dabie Mountain, a fortune teller told me that the ancestor of Jiangxiang School was Liu Bowen.
However, this is just a folklore, and it is difficult to tell the truth from the truth.
