Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu Bowen how long the Ming Dynasty was. How did Liu Bowen answer this question?
At that time, Liu Bowen knew that this was a life-threatening topic when Zhu Yuanzhang asked him. If he said too little, it would be useless, and if he said too much, he would be guilty of deceiving the emperor. He told Zhu Yuanzhang four things at that time. These four words are "stop when things go well". After saying this, Liu Bowen kept silent to prevent mistakes from being made if he talks too much. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what it meant. Seeing that Liu Bowen didn't explain it, he knew that some things couldn't be explained too thoroughly. After thinking about it later, he separated the traditional Chinese character "Shun" into "三、百" , 8?, thought that the Ming Dynasty would exist for 380 years before it perished. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy, because many dynasties in history did not exist for more than 300 years, but his own Ming Dynasty did it.
Of course, no one knows what Liu Bowen’s four words really predicted, because Liu Bowen did not explain it. Later, the Ming Dynasty fell in 1644 AD and only existed for 276 years. This did not reach the 380 years that Zhu Yuanzhang had in mind, but after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng established a new country, and the name of this country was "Dashun". If you look at it this way, what Liu Bowen said is not wrong.
Of course there is another explanation: "submission" means obedience. In other words, when the Ming Dynasty's three hundred years of national destiny are exhausted, it will naturally perish. This is a logical end. This explanation is not wrong. This may be a mystery Liu Bowen left to future generations.
Perhaps Liu Bowen knew that the Ming Dynasty could not exist for such a long time, but he could not point it out.
As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and Liu Bowen also knows this truth. At that time, Liu Bowen was his "ovary" in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart. Zhu Yuanzhang once said this more than once, and the people in our country also have such a saying: Zhuge Liang divides the world into three parts, and Liu Bowen dominates the country. From here we can see Liu Bowen's What's great.
