Chapter 1740 : Homecoming

"Brother Xiao, I'm leaving Yingtian this time. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in my lifetime. I'm afraid you and I will never meet again?" Liu Bowen sighed softly, his voice with a hint of helplessness and a little lonely.

Just a few days ago, the emperor suddenly asked him to play chess, talked about his achievements over the years, and issued an edict in person to posthumously give his grandfather and his father to the Duke of Yongjia County! He had many rewards to him, and he knew that the emperor sent him a message and wanted to drive him away!"

Although I have long known that all the emperors of all dynasties have done the actions of scheming rabbits, slapping dogs, and hiding good bows after pacifying the world, they are just heard and not fallen on themselves. Now, they have actually fallen on their heads. Even though they have been practicing self-cultivation for many years, they are still a little unwilling to let go. Liu Hou abandoned everything in the world, focused on cultivating Taoism and essence, believed in Huang Lao's learning, lived in peace, and became an immortal. It is not something that ordinary people can do. Liu Bowen saw through the world, but he fell into the cliché.

Even so, since the conversation at the beginning of the year, Zhu Yuanzhang was cold to himself and he also wanted to leave. However, Yang Xian had not yet grasped the real power, so he insisted on it. But now Yang Xian has entered the Central Committee and served as the Left Chief of the Central Committee, becoming the actual person in charge of the Central Committee. Yang Xiangang had real power and directly pointed his finger at his enemy Li Shanchang. In the Central Committee, Yang Xian fought with Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong all day long. He could see that something would happen to Yang Xian's impatient nature would not take long. At that time, he was afraid that the servants would leave now. Besides, Zhu Yuanzhang came to his mansion in person this morning. On the surface, he was very caring, but before leaving, he said to him: "You are so old, you should be with your wife and children at home, why bother with me here."

"The emperor completely disliked him. If he stayed, he would have to find a murder!"

Xiao Yun sighed, and didn't know what to say. A person who plays politics cannot retreat safely. Unless a transcendent person like Fan Li and Zhang Liang is shining when he enters the curtain. When he is lonely, he stays away from the temple without any nostalgia. Otherwise, it is not easy to leave. What your political enemy wants is to beat the dog when you are lonely, or take advantage of your illness and kill you!

Zhu Yuanzhang and Hu Weiyong, who let him go, this Ming hero who made unparalleled achievements for the Ming Dynasty was destined to be lonely with tragedy.

Later generations recorded that although Liu Bowen returned to his hometown, Zhu Yuanzhang was very suspicious, and he felt it was difficult to control people if he was not around, and he wanted to get rid of them quickly. Liu Bowen also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would not be at ease with him, so his son stayed in Beijing as an official, which was considered a hostage. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned the retired son Lian, Song Lian's son Yunzai, Ye Chen's son Yongdao, Hu Shen's son Boji and others to the capital, and received him in the palace, asking about his well-being, "I personally teach you, Yan's words are like a home."

"So, after retirement, Liu Bowen was extremely low-key, "only drinking and playing chess, he did not speak out." The "History of Ming Dynasty" records such an incident. Qingtian County Magistrate admired Liu Bowen's name for a long time and wanted to pay homage to his honor. "The county magistrate did not ask for a look, so he went to Ji in a secluded dress to visit Ji. Ji Fang washed his feet and ordered his son to introduce him to the sacred house and cook millet and rice. The order said, "It is a magistrate of Qingtian." Ji was shocked and called the people, thanked him, and he would never see him again." Even so, it was not eliminated in the end, and Zhu Yuanzhang became suspicious of him.

It was precisely because of Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions that Hu Weiyong began to retaliate against Liu Bowen.

At that time, there was a narrow area in Ou and Fujian called Tanyang. This area was a place where salt vendors and thieves gathered. Fang Guozhen rebelled from this place. Liu Ji entrusted his son Liu Lian to submit a memorial, suggesting that the inspection department should be set up in the area to control and govern the area so that the unruly people there could take advantage of it, and that they could not collude with each other or coerce the soldiers guarding the border to escape and rebel together. Hu Weiyong sent the Minister of Justice Wu Yun to engrave Liu Ji, and instead pointed out that the Taiyang was lying on the mountains and the sea, with the spirit of a king.

Liu Ji wanted to seek it as his cemetery, but the local people refused to agree, so they wanted to set up a inspection department there to make it difficult for the local people, which led to the rapid deterioration of the situation in the region.

Zhu Yuanzhang was indifferent and eventually forced Liu Bowen, who had retired, to go to Beijing to pay homage to Zhu Yuanzhang in person, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask about this matter at all. Liu Bowen could not tell the truth, nor did he dare to leave Beijing. He soon fell ill. At this time, Hu Weiyong came to visit the condition with tonics. After taking the medicine Hu Weiyong brought him, he suddenly felt a hard object like a stone the size of a fist was blocked in his chest. Liu Ji used his free time to explain Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't ask. Three months later, his condition worsened. Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to greet Liu Ji. When he learned that he could no longer get up, he asked him to return to his hometown in Qingtian on a ship that sent documents. Thinking of this, Xiao Yun almost wanted to tell Liu Bowen all this, but his strong rationality told him that he was just a passerby in history and he didn't know his ending. If history was messed up, he really didn't know what the result would be?"

Suppressing the unhappy ending in his heart, Xiao Yun took a few sips of tea, suddenly suppressed his voice, and said, "It's good to go back early. Now my elder brother has been named the founding official of the civil servant of the founding country, the official of Zishan, the guardian, and the title of Chengyi Bo. He has a 240-stone salary. It can be considered as returning home in glory. Compared with the undercurrents in the capital, it may be safer!"

Liu Bowen nodded and said, "This time, Your Majesty has seen the Prime Minister's authority. I wonder how many people will die?"

Xiao Yun was inspired by him and remembered the major cases recorded in later generations. Tens of thousands of bloody heads were even more worried about his future fate.

"Okay, let's not talk about these unpleasant ones!" Liu Bowen Kuoda smiled and said, "It's best to meet a little brother today. Originally, I still have something to meet the emperor. Since I met a little brother here, I'll ask my brother to help me?"

Xiao Yun respected Liu Bowen very much. When he heard what he said, he looked up and said, "Brother said, even if I go up the knife mountain and go down the oil pan, I will definitely do it for my elder brother!"

Liu Bowen laughed and said, "Brother Xiao, what are you talking about? What are you going up to the mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire? You are not asking you to kill and set fire!"

Xiao Yun gave out a sigh of relief and said to himself: "Don't I think you think so? It's good, it's good, it's good, I really can't do it?"

Liu Bowen, holding his long beard and carrying his hands on his back, walked a few steps down a bamboo forest in front of him, and said with a serious look: "I will leave Yingtian tomorrow morning. Before leaving, I have a few words to leave for Your Majesty. I originally wanted to write a letter to Your Majesty, but I was afraid that it would fall into the hands of those who are interested, so I had to give up. I met my little brother a few days ago, which saved me my worries!"

Xiao Yun knew that Liu Bowen was an extraordinary person, so what he wanted to leave was naturally extraordinary. He said with a serious look: "Brother, please tell me, I will definitely pass it to you!"
