I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 701

"Liu Ji...Liu Ji!" Li Tian chanted the name, desperately recalling his memory, "This name is so familiar, but why can't I remember it at all!"

As he was talking, Li Tian suddenly remembered a famous person in the early days of his name, and he suddenly shouted,

"Holy shit, hold a grass! Isn't Liu Ji the only one? Liu Bowen? The famous Liu Bowen is comparable to Kong Ming in the Three Kingdoms period. It is rumored that he can pinch and count. He has been known for 500 years and has been known for [-] years. Liu Bowen! !"

The name Li Tian is really too familiar, even more familiar than Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu, and Guo Ying.

He tapped his phone vigorously, and secretly said,

"I'm such a pig brain. After thinking about so many people surnamed Liu, how could I forget such a great god?"

But then he thought,

"This Liu Bowen is the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, one of the very few loyal ministers who, as a literati, were granted the title of earl, and finally chased after Feng Taishi and was honored as a high temple.

How could the offspring cultivated by such a romantic person be an unfilial son who wished to destroy Daming. "

Li Tian's story about Liu Bowen mainly comes from the description of him in film and television works.

In his impression, he is a character who can be compared to Zhuge Liang, wise and close to a demon.

He was also one of the few founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty who had a good death.

Rumor has it that he holds a book from heaven in his hand, and if he gets it, he can secure the world when he gets on a horse, and he can save the world and save the people when he gets off his horse.

Although there are many rumors from time to time, no matter the preferential treatment given to him by the Ming royal family or the praises given to him by later generations, it all shows that he is indeed a very capable and very smart person.

But will such a person who enjoys countless praises from future generations really give birth to a rebellious descendant!
Li Tian has deep doubts about this.

So he asked Yang Shiqi,
"Shiqi, do you think this Young Master Liu is really a descendant of Uncle Chengyi!"

Yang Shiqi said slowly as if recalling,
"Bo Chengyi resigned at the age of 60 when he was in Hongwu for three years, and Taizu agreed!

Since then, Bo Chengyi drank alcohol and wrote poems every day, but kept silent about his achievements, which was a good story in the court at that time.

Unexpectedly, in the eighth year of Hongwu, Uncle Chengyi suddenly fell ill, became bedridden, and passed away not long after...! "

Speaking of this, Yang Shiqi hesitated in his words, as if he was deliberately choosing his words carefully.

Although he concealed it very well, Li Tian still saw the clue, and directly interrupted his words and asked,

"Shiqi, you seem to have missed something. Sincerity, he died of illness within a few days after he was healthy. Could it be that his illness cannot be cured by the imperial physicians?"

Yang Shiqi hesitated for a while, and finally fell to his knees with a plop, and said with some panic,
"It's not that the old minister deliberately concealed His Majesty. The cause of Uncle Chengyi's death is really old, and the old minister doesn't remember clearly."

Li Tian sneered and said,

"Shiqi, if I remember correctly, you are only in your 50s this year. In the eighth year of Hongwu, you seem to be in your teens. It is the time when a person remembers the best. You actually told me that you don't remember clearly! "

Yang Shiqi lowered his head slightly, and finally sighed,

"Since His Majesty wants to know, then the old minister will speak directly."

After deliberating for a while, Yang Shiqi finally spoke.

"In fact, there have been rumors at that time that although Bo Chengyi returned to his hometown as a scholar, his influence still existed. At that time, the left prime minister Hu Weiyong was very jealous of Bo Chengyi, and often used various excuses to slander Bo Chengyi.

Later, finally again, Taizu completely believed Hu Weiyong's words, and ordered someone to take Chengyi Bo's salary.

Uncle Chengyi felt disheartened after being hit by this, and soon he fell ill.

At this time, Taizu ordered Hu Weiyong to bring the imperial doctor to see Uncle Chengyi.

Unexpectedly, after taking the imperial physician's medicine, Cheng Yibo's condition not only did not improve, but became more serious. "

"Uncle Chengyi doesn't know if this is Hu Weiyong taking advantage of the opportunity to cure his illness to hurt himself, or whether Taizu was worried about him and did it on purpose!

In order to protect the descendants of the Liu family, he insisted on refusing to find another doctor for treatment, so he endured such hardship for more than half a month, and died of illness. "

Hearing this, Li Tian probably already understood why Yang Shiqi hesitated to speak.

If he didn't lie, it means that it was not Hu Weiyong who killed him because of jealousy, but Zhu Yuanzhang was clearly jealous of his talent and deliberately found an opportunity to kill him.

If all of this is true, no wonder the descendants of the Liu family will hate the Zhu family deeply, wishing to destroy the foundation of Daming!
But there's something puzzling about it.

When Liu Bowen died, he was only eight years old in Hongwu, and Mr. Liu was only in his thirties, so he was probably born around the end of Hongwu.

Almost five or sixty years have passed by now. For such a long time, even if there is a big hatred, it should fade away. Where did Mr. Liu get such a big hatred!
To settle accounts with the Zhu family, it should be Liu Bowen's sons.

So he continued to ask Yang Shiqi,

"There are so many things about the Liu family, is there anything else?"

Yang Shiqi thought for a while, and then said,

"It's true, when the first emperor ascended the Great Treasure, in order to show his kindness, he wanted to recruit Cheng Yibo's son to serve as an official in the court.

Liu Jing, the second son of Uncle Chengyi, refused to obey the imperial edict, and declined on the grounds that he was ill.

But Emperor Xian cherished his talent and ordered someone to bring him to the capital.

Unexpectedly, Liu Jing didn't call the late emperor "Long Live" and insisted on calling the late Emperor "Your Highness".

The first emperor was furious and sent him to Zhao Prison.

This Liu Jing had a strong temper, so he used his braids to hang himself in prison that night! "

Li Tian let out a wry smile after listening,
"It turns out that the source of everything is here, no wonder the surname Liu hates the Zhu family so much!

First, Taizu ordered his grandfather to be killed, and later he was forced to kill his father by the late emperor. Even if I encounter such a thing, I will be outraged! ..."

Seeing that Li Tian actually said that, Yang Shiqi hurriedly said,

"Your Majesty must not do this. The Liu family enjoyed the kindness of the imperial court. Liu Jing didn't seem to be repaying the emperor's kindness. Instead, he uttered wild words. He deserved to die. How can Your Majesty show mercy to such a rebellious person!"

Li Tian shook his head like a sigh and said,
"It's my Zhu family's fault first, there is nothing undeniable!"

Yang Shiqi also sighed, but finally insisted,
"Your Majesty, it's fine to say what you said in front of the minister. The minister will never reveal a word, but if you let outsiders know, it is tantamount to your majesty admitting that the late emperor was a usurper. "
