How did Liu Bowen die in history? Is it with Hu?

When it comes to Liu Bowen, many people will compare him with Zhuge Liang, which is why there is a folk saying that "Zhuge Liang divides the world into three parts, unifies the world, and Liu Bowen; Zhuge Liang, a former strategist, and Liu Bowen, a later strategist. As a legend who helped Zhu Yuanzhang lay the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, he left many legends.

There are not many records about Liu Bowen's death in history, and most people think that he died of illness. However, there is such a record in the biography of Liu Jichuan in Ming Dynasty. "Ji was sick in Beijing, and only used medicine to drink his medicine. He accumulated something like a fist stone in his stomach. Later, Zhong Cheng killed Jie, but at first he was mediocre, calling him a poisonous and deadly cloud. " Therefore, many people think that his death is closely related to the Hu case, and it is very likely that he was poisoned by Hu.

After all, when Liu Bowen resigned, he suggested to Zhu Yuanzhang not to let Hu be the prime minister, but Zhu Yuanzhang, as the emperor at this time, did not take his advice and still appointed Hu as the prime minister. Although this incident did not pose much threat to Hu, it made him aware of the crisis and produced a more subtle relationship.

There is no record in history that Hu sent doctors to poison Liu Bowen, but shortly after Liu Bowen's illness, Hu went to see him with a physician and asked him to prescribe a prescription. According to the physician's pharmacy, Liu Bowen's condition became more and more serious after eating this prescription, and he didn't last long before he died.

Because Hu was the prime minister at that time, no one dared to say anything. Later, because of the outbreak of the so-called Hu case, many court ministers were implicated. After the mastermind Hu was executed by Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen's bizarre death was brought back to the court. At this time, many court officials blamed his death on the former prime minister Hu, thinking that he killed him. Because many people were involved in the Hu case at that time, even if Hu didn't do it, everyone dared not overturn the case. If he is not careful, he will be regarded as his henchmen and eventually beheaded. As for the relationship between Liu Bowen's death and the Hu case, perhaps only the former parties know it, but now some of them are basically guesses.
