How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

boom!

After hearing what Liu Bowen said, Zhu Yuanzhang felt like his head was about to explode again!

what……

What do you mean?

The limericks the other party recited were not difficult to understand.

It means that although the Ming Dynasty still exists, it will eventually perish in the north.

My sons may quarrel with each other, and finally I have to guard against invasion from the west!

"Huh...huh...huh!"

Not only was Zhu Yuanzhang shocked after hearing this, but Empress Ma was also going crazy.

She was breathing heavily, her face pale, and she was filled with shock and doubt.

Today, the capital of the Ming Dynasty is in Yingtian Prefecture, which is in the south, but will the Ming Dynasty eventually perish in the north?

why?

Will the Ming Dynasty imperial city move to the north after we die?

This is not just taking off your pants to fart, it's a waste of time!

But even if it migrated to the north, the Ming Dynasty would eventually perish.

This is not difficult to accept. After all, no dynasty in the world dares to say that it can truly rule forever.

From the very beginning, it was nothing more than an unrealistic and beautiful fantasy of those in power.

only……

We must guard against enemies coming from the west. Who from the west will attack us?

West of Yingtian Prefecture, or west of the north?

Could it be the barbarians from the grasslands, the Oirat Tatars?

Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma felt that they understood, but also felt that they did not understand at all, and their faces were completely confused.

But Zhu Yuanzhang became furious again, remembering that he had just pardoned Liu Bowen from the death penalty, and insisted that he talk about the destiny of the Ming Dynasty.

It seems a bit too embarrassing for someone to brandish the butcher knife just after he said two words.

If you can't fucking afford it, don't play.

Never mind, it’s okay to listen to what he has to say.

Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but sneer: "My Yingtian City has high walls and deep defenses. Who can break in here?"

Liu Bowen shook his head and smiled, “Your Majesty, although the city walls are high and deep, they cannot protect against flying birds. I am only afraid that swallows will fly over and the divine soldiers will descend from the sky.”

Swallows fly, divine soldiers descend from the sky?

Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were still confused, but Liu Bowen continued speaking rapidly.

He actually sang a long poem directly.

"The emperor personally led the army to conquer this city, and the whole country was peaceful in Yongle..."

"..."

"The golden dragon is sent off to reunite with the old friends, and the bright sun and moon will revitalize the border."

Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer sit still after hearing this, he stood up and asked in a trembling voice.

"Liu Ji, my kingdom, what happened to my kingdom?"

Liu Bowen looked sad.

'The world is in chaos, Your Majesty!'

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed angrily when he heard this and slapped the dragon table.

"You are talking nonsense, it's ridiculous! Liu Ji, don't be so presumptuous! My Ming Dynasty is ruled by Han people, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people dare not disobey. Who can disrupt my country?"

Liu Bowen had no expression on his face and just shook his head.

"Your Majesty, I have something else to sing..."

As he spoke, he actually sang a long poem on the spot.

"There are strange things happening in the world due to hunger and cold, and the pillars of the country are riding on babies."

"..."

"Eunuchs are appointed to protect the country, and eight thousand female ghosts are disrupting the government..."

When the song reached this point, Empress Ma's face turned pale and she covered her mouth, unable to utter a word.

What does this mean?

Later, the Ming Dynasty was forced to employ eunuchs, and there were eight thousand female ghosts who disrupted the government?

Zhu Yuanzhang had already strode up to Liu Bowen, speaking in a stern voice with a fearful look on his face.

"Speak! Tell me..."

"Who are these eight thousand female ghosts?"

Zhu Yuanzhang simply couldn't understand why eight thousand female ghosts could bring disaster to my kingdom.

Liu Bowen did not answer, but continued to recite the long poem without stopping.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and at a loss.

He seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.

In short.

After my death, the Ming Dynasty seemed to last for several hundred years, but then the country became chaotic and the people suffered.

When I heard Liu Bowen say:

When "the rice and the trees are about to be gone, the twenty-three people live in eight directions."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but ask again.

"Liu Ji, are these twenty-three people the ones who have brought chaos to my kingdom?"

Liu Bowen still shook his head.

"Your Majesty, I, this old minister, deserve death. The Ming Dynasty has been gone for a long time..."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood there in a daze, unable to accept the fact that the Ming Dynasty had fallen long ago.

Liu Bowen continued to sing poems, and Zhu Yuanzhang could only listen in a daze.

The following poems seem to be about a group of Hu people taking over my kingdom and continuing it for hundreds of years.

Further on...

He couldn't understand anymore.

I do not know how long it has been.

Liu Bowen kept waiting until he said, "A thousand words tell the truth, leaving it to the common people to discuss the pros and cons..."

The old man finally stopped singing, with a sad look on his face, and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang who was standing in front of him.

"Your Majesty! Please forgive me for my incompetence. From now on, I really can't see clearly!"

Zhu Yuanzhang had entered a trance state. Although he was staring at Liu Ji, his eyes were lifeless and he seemed dazed and stupid.

Liu Bowen was not anxious and waited quietly for Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction.

For a full half cup of tea, the entire hall was extremely quiet.

I don’t know how much time passed.

"Hey……"

A faint sigh was heard.

It turned out that it was Queen Ma, who was sitting in the back, who reacted first.

No matter whether what Liu Ji said was fabricated or an accurate prediction.

No matter what the Ming Dynasty will look like in the future.

While Chongba is distracted, why don’t you send him away quickly?

Empress Ma sighed and said, "Marquis Chengyi, I don't know what you want to see me for today?"

When Liu Bowen heard Queen Ma's question, he smiled calmly.

"My queen, I am old! Today I come to take my leave and return home to spend my remaining years in peace."

"I hope that Your Majesty and Your Majesty will agree to let this old minister... return to his roots..."

Empress Ma looked at Liu Bowen, who was old but had a ruddy complexion, and felt mixed emotions.

How could she not see that this man didn't have much time left?

He dragged his broken body to see the emperor, just to beg him not to die in the capital, but to die in his old house.

If this kind of request cannot be met, it will really make people all over the world feel disheartened.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang had no reaction, Empress Ma had no choice but to speak.

"Lord Chengyi, I... I have agreed on behalf of the Emperor. You... you can go now! I will send some capable people to escort you back home safely..."

Speaking of this, Queen Ma's eyes became red again.

Liu Bowen offended Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong, and even had a bad relationship with the entire Huaixi Group.

He resigned from his official position and was left with only the title of Marquis Chengyi. If he encountered a villain on his way back home, he would probably die on the way.

She sent people to escort them, to see who dared to cause trouble along the way!

Liu Bowen naturally felt the kindness of Queen Ma, and bowed deeply to her with trembling hands.

"This old minister...thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty and Your Majesty, please take care of your health in the future. I am afraid that I will have to leave first..."

After saying this, he stood up straight, took one last deep look at Zhu Yuanzhang, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, sighed, turned around and walked out of the hall.

Empress Ma stared blankly at an old minister in his twilight years, a loyal warrior who had helped her husband build the empire, who had gone through spring and autumn, wind and rain, and countless hardships, only to exit the stage in such an undignified manner.

"First...sir!"

Who knows.

Just as Liu Bowen was about to step out of the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang finally came back to his senses from his trance.

He seemed to see all things in the world, the flowers of spring and the fruits of autumn, and the vast universe.

Seeing that Liu Bowen was actually leaving him, he didn't know why...

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart sank violently and his face twisted in pain.

He couldn't help but shout out loud, remembering that the old man was fifty years old and was asked to leave his hometown in Qingtian by him.

He remembered that the other party had taken out the "Eighteen Strategies to Peace the Heavens", which had destroyed Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang in a casual conversation.

Thinking of how he had rectified the administration of officials throughout the country in the early years of Hongwu, with a ruthless and iron-blooded attitude and without regard for the royal family, Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong hated him to the core.

Thinking of the fact that the other party was not nepotistic or partial, he frankly acknowledged the strengths of Li Shanchang and others and recommended them to become prime ministers of the current dynasty.

think……

Everything……

But how did I treat this old brother?

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to slap himself.

A full fifteen years!

It took Liu Bowen fifteen years to make him understand what ungratefulness meant.

"gentlemen!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted again, his voice trembling, full of pleading.

Sir, don't go!

Please, don't go, okay?

I know I was wrong!

Stay and stay with me, okay?

Sigh.

But Liu Bowen's heart was already dead.

He stepped over the threshold of the Huagai Palace with one foot, and was shocked when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's call, but he finally stepped out resolutely!

"gentlemen……"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the other person's back, muttering to himself, and couldn't help but shed tears on his face.

he knows.

Today, he not only lost the best minister of the Ming Dynasty.

And I lost a best friend!

……

Swish!

When the scene in front of him completely disappeared, Ye Cheng was still immersed in the emotion he had just felt.

Damn!

Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen.

An iron-fisted emperor and a loyal old minister.

When he was young, Zhu Yuanzhang was still able to humbly accept advice, just for the sake of unifying the country and securing his throne.

As he grew older, he inevitably made the mistakes that almost all emperors would make.

Liu Bowen was lucky to have a good end compared to those old ministers who were slaughtered later.

only……

As we return to this challenge.

Return to the world of Spade King - Laplacemon.

Ye Cheng couldn't help but laugh as he watched the scene in front of him turn pitch black.

Pangu created the world, Fuxi, Dayu and King Wen of Zhou.

From the birth of the Dragon Kingdom to the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

This challenge showed him so much.

But the most important thing is the stories of Fuxi, Dayu, Ji Chang, Zhuge Wuhou, Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang and Liu Bowen.

What do these people have in common?

They can all predict the future based on the innate Bagua!

In other words, the ultimate goal of this challenge is...

Ye Cheng raised his head with a smile.

But in the void in front of him, stars began to emerge, as if he was in the universe.

At the same time, a reminder sound rang in my ears.

【Ding……】
