Liu Bowen, the founding minister of Haunted House, knows the world of thousands of years before and after his birth.
Liu Bowen showed amazing talent when he was a child. Basically, he will never forget the books he has read. His father taught him to learn Chinese characters since he was a child. Liu Bowen is very studious and fast at reading. It is said that he can read seven lines with one eye. If ordinary people read like this, I'm afraid they won't remember much, but Liu Bowen is different. Although he reads fast, he is also efficient, and the contents of the book are firmly printed in his mind. At the age of twelve, he took the provincial examination and was admitted as a scholar. Everyone in the village calls him "prodigy".
at the age of fourteen, he went to Fu Xue to study Chunqiu Jing. This is a profound Confucian book, and the articles in it are difficult to read, especially at such a young age. But Liu Bowen is different from other children. He reads Chunqiu Jing every day. He can remember all the contents of the book as long as he reads it twice. He also has his own unique views on the content. What he understands means what the predecessors did not understand, which surprised his teachers. The teacher thinks that he has read this book before, so he can understand it so deeply. In order to dispel his doubts, the teacher took a few paragraphs from the book and asked him what he thought of these words. I didn't expect Liu Bowen to understand this idea, which made the teacher have to admire his intelligence. He thinks he is a rare genius, and he must have a bright future. After a long time, Liu Bowen was no longer satisfied with Chunqiu Jing, so he left Fu Xue and went to another famous scholar, Zheng Fuchu, to study Neo-Confucianism in Zhucheng.
Zheng Fuchu is also full of praise for this child. He once said to Liu Bowen's father, "Your ancestors accumulated many virtues, which made Liu Bowen so smart. This child will definitely become a senior official in the future, just like Guangzong Yaozu. " Liu Bowen has read many books, especially interested in astronomy and geography, and has a deep understanding of the art of war and mathematics. He studies this knowledge every day and thoroughly understands the mystery. On one occasion, he went to Huizhou, the birthplace of Cheng Zhu's Neo-Confucianism, and heard that there was a copy of Six Classics. After learning the news, Liu Bowen was very excited and immediately went to Fuchun Mountain to find the Six Kingdoms. Not only that, he also found Zoroastrianism people in the mountains, so Liu Bowen stayed in the mountains for a period of time and greedily learned all new knowledge. After he left Fuchun Mountain, he not only made a lot of Zoroastrianism, but also mastered a lot of knowledge. After returning to the village, he immediately became famous, and the villagers compared him to Wei Zhi and Zhuge Liang.
at the age of p>23, Liu Bowen was admitted to Jinshi. However, Liu Bowen had to stay in China for another three years because of the constant wars in the surrounding areas at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and was sent by the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty to serve as an official in Jiangxi. After Liu Bowen took office, he was observant and fearless of violence. Liu Bowen is not afraid of lawless landlords. After getting the evidence, he immediately punished the landlord and the social atmosphere changed. Because of these big moves, the landlords hated him and always wanted to frame him, but because other officials knew his character, they tried their best to protect him. Seeing that he couldn't stay any longer, Liu Bowen resigned and returned to his hometown. Later, he was hired by the court and returned to China as an official, but he resigned and lived in seclusion three years later.
Later, when Zhu Yuanzhang rebelled, he heard Liu Bowen's name and asked him for help. Liu Bowen carefully analyzed Zhu Yuanzhang's current situation, and then persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang to concentrate his forces and try to avoid fighting alone. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately adopted these suggestions.
Zhu Yuanzhang in Liu Bowen has repeatedly made meritorious military service, and he was promoted to Taishi Order by Zhu Yuanzhang. When Liu Bowen observed the astronomical phenomena, he found that there would be a disaster, so Liu Bowen hoped that Zhu Yuanzhang would apologize to the world. Later, because it didn't rain for a long time, Liu Bowen asked Zhu Yuanzhang to deal with some grievances, so it rained heavily. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang killed a group of prisoners because of a dream. Liu Bowen immediately asked why, and Zhu Yuanzhang told him everything. Liu Bowen thought this was a good sign, which made Zhu Yuanzhang completely relieved and released the prisoners.
Later, Liu Bowen caught a cold, and Zhu Yuanzhang asked Hu to take his doctor to see him. The doctor prescribed some medicine for Liu Bowen. Liu Bowen took it and felt very uncomfortable.
A few days later, Liu Bowen told Zhu Yuanzhang that after taking those medicines, he felt that his stomach had been uncomfortable. Zhu Yuanzhang just gave him peace of mind for illness, but Liu Bowen was disappointed. Liu Bowen's illness is getting worse. Finally, he returned to his hometown and lived in seclusion due to illness. He no longer believes in those drugs. He just keeps a healthy diet every day. However, his condition has not improved. Knowing that he was going to die, he called his two sons to him and told him everything. After that, he took out a book and asked his two sons to give it to the emperor at once, and warned the children that his descendants were not allowed to study astronomy in the future.
After all this, Liu Bowen said to his second son, "What the imperial court needs to do now is that the rulers should improve their moral quality, have both ability and political integrity and simplify the laws." If you can use moral influence, don't use violence. It works best. Once someone makes a mistake, I hope the rulers can put themselves in their own shoes, so that the punishment will be fair and just. I wanted to write such an article for the emperor himself, but with Hu's existence, I wrote it for nothing. Hu has fallen, and the emperor will remember me. At this time, you should tell these words to the emperor. "
With these words, Liu Bowen, 65, closed his eyes.
