Liu Ji, whose name is Bowen, is from Qingtian. Great-grandfather Liu Hao was an official in the Song Dynasty, and served as an academician in charge of books. After the death of the Song Dynasty, Lin Rong, a man from the county, advocated a volunteer brigade. When it came to light, the Yuan Dynasty sent envoys to list their associates, and many people were implicated. The envoy stayed at Liu Hao's house halfway, and Liu Hao got him drunk, and then set fire to his dormitory. The register was completely burned, so the envoy had no choice but to change the register, and everyone who was implicated was spared. Liu Ji has been unusually clever since childhood. His teacher Zheng Fuchu once said to his father Liu Huolang, "You have a profound ancestor, and this child will become a great man in the future." During the period from Yuan Dynasty to Shun Dynasty, Liu Ji was admitted as a scholar and awarded as Gao Ancheng, gaining a reputation of honesty and integrity. Liu Ji refused to leave because the province wanted to promote him. Later, he became the deputy director of Confucianism in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. On the crime of dereliction of duty, he was blocked by Taiwan officials. Liu Ji played impeachment twice and then abandoned his official and returned to his hometown. Liu Jibo knows the classics and history, and he doesn't read any books, especially in astronomy. Zhao Tianze, in the West Shu, when commenting on Jiang You, first introduced Liu Ji and compared him to Zhu Gekongming.

Fang Guozhen went to sea and robbed counties, but the relevant officials could not control him, so it was all in the province to reinstate Liu Ji as marshal's office. Liu Ji suggested to build Qingyuan Zhucheng to intimidate Fang Guozhen, and Fang Guozhen was angry about it. When Timur in Zuo Cheng's post surrendered to Fang Guozhen, Liu Ji said that the Fang brothers had made an insurrection first, and there was no way to punish them if they didn't kill them. Fang Guozhen was afraid and bribed Liu Ji heavily, but Liu Ji refused to accept it. Fang Guozhen sent people to Beijing by sea to bribe those in power. So the imperial court summoned Fang Guozhen and awarded him an official position, and blamed Liu Ji for abusing his power and making claims, and let Liu Ji leave Beijing to manage Shaoxing, which made Fang even more arrogant. Soon, the mountain bandits swarmed up, and the province called Liu Ji to hunt them down, and stationed in Chuzhou with Shi Mo Yi Sun, the judge of the hospital. Running to make Li Guofeng play its credit, presided over by Fang suppressed Liu Ji, awarded him as the general manager, but did not let him master the relieving. Liu Ji then abandoned his official position and retired to Qingtian, where he wrote Yu Ions to show his ambition. At that time, people who avoided Fang's family all took refuge in Liu Ji, and Liu Ji made a little deployment, so thieves dared not attack.

Zhu Yuanzhang captured Jinhua, pacified Kuocang, learned the reputation of Liu Ji and Song Lian, and hired him with money, but Liu Ji didn't agree. Sun Yan, the general manager, wrote twice and firmly invited Liu Ji to come out. When it comes to Yingtian, Liu Jichen has eighteen strategies for dealing with the situation. Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and immediately ordered people to build a Lixian Pavilion for Liu Ji and others to live in and pamper them. At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang worshipped Han Liner from a distance because he claimed to be after the Song Dynasty. At the beginning of each year, when Zhongshu Province set up a throne to salute, only Liu Ji refused to worship and said, "Han Liner is just a shepherd boy. Why do you honor him?" Therefore, Liu Ji went to visit Zhu Yuanzhang, where Chen's destiny lies. When Zhu Yuanzhang asked him about the plan of expropriation, Liu Ji said, "Zhang Shicheng only cares about saving himself, so it's not worth worrying about. Chen Youliang, however, was robbed by the Lord, whose name was not correct, and he was located in the upper reaches of the river. He was always forgetting himself, so he should seek Chen Youliang first. When Chen's death, Zhang's potential was weak and he could be pacified in one fell swoop. Then go north to the Central Plains, and Wang Ye can become. " Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy to say, "If you have any good suggestions, please tell me." At that time, Chen Youliang was conquering Taiping and seeking the east, and its power developed rapidly. Some people under Zhu Yuanzhang suggested surrendering, others suggested fleeing to Zhongshan, and only Liu Ji stared at his eyes and didn't talk. Zhu Yuanzhang called him into the inner room, and Liu Ji said angrily, "Those who advocate surrender or escape should be beheaded." Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "What's your plan?" Liu Ji replied: "Chen thief is arrogant. We can wait for him to go deep, ambush him and defeat him. It's easy." It is in this move that those who raise heaven will win, and those who take power to defeat the enemy will become kings. " Zhu Yuanzhang adopted his stratagem, lured the Chen Youliang army to come, and then defeated it. Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded Liu Ji for defeating the enemy, but Liu Ji refused. Soon the Chen Youliang army fell back into Anqing, and Zhu Yuanzhang planned to personally lead the army to conquer, so he asked Liu Ji, who strongly agreed, so Zhu Yuanzhang led the army to attack Anqing. From morning till dusk, still not captured, Liu Ji requested to go straight to Jiangzhou and take Chen Youliang's lair, so the whole army went west. Unexpectedly, Chen Youliang had to lead his wife and children to Wuchang, and Jiangzhou surrendered. Its Longxing Shoujiang Hu Mei sent his son to express the sincerity of surrender, requesting Zhu Yuanzhang not to disband his troops. Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant, and Liu Ji kicked Hu Chuang from behind, suggesting that Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly woke up and agreed to Hu Mei's request. Hu Mei fell, and all the counties in Jiangxi were captured.

when Liu Ji lost his mother, the war was tense, so he didn't dare to say anything. Only then did he ask to return home to hold a libation ceremony for his mother. It happened that the Miao army rebelled and killed Jinhua, Hu Dahai, Geng Zaicheng, etc., and the situation in eastern Zhejiang was shaken. Liu Ji rushed to Quzhou, first to appease the subordinate cities for the garrison commander Xia Yi, and then to plan with Pingzhang Shao Rong to restore the state, so he put down the rebellion. Fang Guozhen has always been afraid of Liu Ji, so he wrote to Liu Ji to express his condolences over his mother's death. Liu Ji wrote back to Fang Guozhen, showing him Zhu Yuanzhang's weed, and Fang Guozhen paid tribute to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang wrote to Liu Ji's home many times to ask about military affairs, and Liu Ji answered them in detail one by one, all of which were to the point. Soon after, Liu Ji returned to Beijing, and Zhu Yuanzhang was about to personally lead the army to support An Feng. Liu Ji persuaded, "Han and Wu are waiting for an opportunity to attack, so we can't act rashly now." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't listen to advice. After Chen Youliang knew this situation, he took the opportunity to lead the army to besiege Hongdu. Zhu Yuanzhang said, "I didn't listen to your opinion and almost missed the plan." Then personally led troops to rescue Hongdu, and fought with Chen Youliang in Poyang Lake for dozens of times a day. Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the Hu bed and bid for the bid. Liu Ji, beside his squire, suddenly jumped up and shouted, urging Zhu Yuanzhang to move to another ship quickly. Zhu Yuanzhang hastily transferred to another boat, and before he was seated, the flying cannon smashed his original royal boat. Chen Youliang, who was standing on a high place, was overjoyed to see that the royal boat was destroyed. The Han army was frightened to disgrace that Zhu Yuanzhang's ship could not retreat. At that time, the battle in the lake was deadlocked for three days, and the outcome was undecided. Liu Ji requested to move the army to the mouth of the lake to seize the export of the Han army, and fought a decisive battle with the Chen Youliang army on the day of Jin Mu Xiangke. As a result, Chen Youliang was defeated and killed on the way to escape. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Zhang Shicheng, made a northern expedition to the Central Plains, and finally completed the imperial industry. His strategy was just like that planned by Liu Ji.

in the first year of Wu dynasty (1367), Zhu Yuanzhang took Liu Ji as the official order, and Liu Ji presented the Great Calendar of Wushen. The comet appeared in the heart, indicating that there were soldiers and disasters. Liu Ji asked Zhu Yuanzhang to make a letter to himself. In the drought, Liu Ji asked to deal with the long-standing injustice, and Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered Liu Ji to be rehabilitated, and heavy rain fell from the sky. Liu Ji took the opportunity to request the establishment of a legal system to prevent indiscriminate killing. Zhu Yuanzhang was about to execute the prisoner at this moment. Liu Ji asked what the reason was, and Zhu Yuanzhang told him his dream. Liu Ji said: "This is a good sign to gain territory and people, so we should stop the punishment and wait." Three days later, Haining surrendered, and Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy, so he handed over all the prisoners to Liu Ji and released them. Soon, Liu Ji was awarded the order of Cheng and Taishi.

after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, Liu Ji played a role in formulating the military defense law. At the beginning, when the tax and grain of the prefecture were determined, it was modeled after the Song system, with the exception of qingtian county. Mao said, "Let Liu Bowen's hometown pass on this matter as a beautiful talk for generations." When Mao visited the capital of song dynasty, Liu Ji stayed in Beijing with Li Shanchang, the left prime minister. Liu Ji thinks that the Song and Yuan Dynasties lost the world because they were too indulgent, so it is time to purge the discipline and discipline, so he ordered the suggestion to report impeachment without any scruples. Anyone who made mistakes in Suwei, eunuchs and attendants will be given the crown prince and punished according to law, so everyone is afraid of Liu Ji's majesty. Li Bin, an official in Zhongshu Province, was convicted for selfish interests and conniving at his subordinates. Li Shanchang has always been a private pet of Bing Lin, so he asked for leniency, but Liu Ji didn't listen, and sent someone to ride a horse to report to Mao. After approval, Liu Ji beheaded Bing Lin when praying for rain. Because of this incident, Liu Ji and Li Shanchang began to disagree. After Mao returned to Beijing, Li Shanchang complained to Mao that it was disrespectful for Liu Ji to kill people in the altar soil. Those who hate Liu Ji at ordinary times have also framed Liu Ji. At that time, it was a drought, and Mao asked the ministers to express their opinions. Liu Ji said: "All the wives of the soldiers who died moved to his camp, and there were tens of thousands of them, which caused the stagnation of yin. After the death of the craftsman, the rotting bones were exposed, and the surrender of Wu Jun was incorporated into the military households, which was enough to coordinate the yin and yang. " Mao took his advice, but it still didn't rain after ten days, so he got angry. At this time, Liu Ji's wife died, so Liu Ji asked to leave and return home. Taizu is building the capital and is actively preparing to eliminate the expansion. Liu Ji said before he left, "Fengyang is the hometown of the emperor, but it is not suitable as a place to build the capital." Wang Baobao should not be underestimated. " Soon, the battle of Dingxi was defeated, and he expanded his profile and fled to the desert. Since then, it has been a border disaster. In the winter of this year, Mao personally wrote a letter to Liu Ji, telling him about his conquest and calling him to Beijing. The reward was very thick. Liu Ji's grandfather and father were posthumously awarded as Yongjia County Duke, and he repeatedly wanted to give Liu Ji a knighthood, but Liu Ji refused to accept it.

At the beginning, Taizu wanted to punish Prime Minister Li Shanchang for something. Liu Ji persuaded him, "Although he has made mistakes, he has made great contributions and enjoys high prestige, and he can reconcile the generals." Mao said, "He tried to harm you again and again, but you still put yourself in his shoes? I want to replace you as the prime minister. " Liu Ji kowtowed and said, "How can this be done? Replacing the prime minister is like replacing the beam and column. It is necessary to use thick and strong wood. If fine wood is used, the house will collapse immediately. " Later, Li Shanchang resigned and returned home. Mao wanted to appoint Yang Xian as the prime minister. Yang Xian treated Liu Ji very well on weekdays, but Liu Ji still strongly opposed it, saying, "Yang Xian has the talent to be a prime minister, but he has no temperament to be a prime minister. As a relative, you must keep a calm mood like water, and take righteousness as the standard to weigh things, and you can't mix your own subjective opinions. Yang Xian can't do it. " Mao asked Wang Guangyang again, and Liu Ji replied, "His tolerance is narrower than that of Yang Xian." Mao then asked Hu Weiyong, and Liu Ji replied, "The Prime Minister is like a horse driving. I'm afraid he will upset the carriage." Mao then said, "My Prime Minister, you are the only one who is most suitable." Liu Ji declined to say, "I'm too vicious and impatient to handle complicated affairs. If I reluctantly undertake this important task, I'm afraid I'll fail to live up to the emperor's entrustment. There is no talent in the world, as long as the emperor is careful to find it. At present, these people are really not suitable for the post of prime minister. " Later, Yang Xian, Wang Guangyang and Hu Weiyong were all convicted for their crimes. In the third year (137), Taizu awarded Liu Ji a bachelor's degree in Hong Wen Pavilion. In November, he was awarded the title of hero, and Liu Ji was also awarded the title of the founding minister, a good doctor, and an army guard. He was awarded the honor of sincerity and food for 24 stones. In the second year, Liu Ji was given back to his hometown.

Taizu often wrote to Liu Ji asking about the astronomical phenomena, and Liu Ji answered them one by one in great detail, and then burned his drafts. Liu Ji generally said that after the frost and snow, there will be a spring, and now that the national prestige has been established, a lenient policy should be adopted to govern the world. Liu Ji assisted Mao to pacify the world, and he expected things to be like a god. He is strong-willed and fierce, and he often conflicts with people. Until now, he lived in seclusion in the mountains, only drinking and playing chess, and never mentioned his own merits. The county magistrate asked for an audience, but Liu Ji refused, so he dressed in casual clothes and pretended to be a country man to see Liu Ji. Liu Ji was washing his feet at that time, so he asked his nephew to introduce him to the hut and entertain him with yellow rice. The magistrate then told Liu Ji, "I'm magistrate of Qingtian." Liu Ji was frightened, immediately got up and called the people, then apologized and left, never seeing each other again. Liu Ji's whereabouts were so secret that he was eventually slandered and framed by Hu Weiyong.

at first, Liu Ji said that there was a clearing between Ou and Kuo called Tanyang, which reached the Fujian border in the south, and this was the nest of salt thieves, so Fang's rebellion was caused by this. Therefore, please set up a patrol inspection department to guard it, so it is not so convenient to rape the people for rebellion. When Mingyang deserted the army and rebelled, the officials went into hiding and didn't report it. Liu Ji ordered Liu Lian, his eldest son, to play this story, but he didn't report it to Zhongshu Province first. Hu Weiyong was in charge of Zhongshu Province as Prime Minister Zuo at that time, and he held a grudge against the previous festival with Liu Ji, so he sent his officials to attack Liu Ji, saying that the place of Tanyang was imperial, and Liu Ji wanted to use it as his own cemetery. Because the local people refused, Liu Ji asked for a patrol department to drive the people away. Although Mao did not incriminate Liu Ji, he was moved by these remarks, thus depriving Liu Ji of his salary. Liu Ji was afraid, went to the DPRK to apologize, and then stayed in the capital, afraid to return home. Soon, Hu Weiyong became prime minister, and Liu Ji lamented, "If my words don't come true, it will be a blessing to the whole life." Therefore, it became ill because of anxiety and anger. In the eighth year of Hongwu (1375), Taizu personally wrote an article to Liu Ji, and sent someone to escort Liu Ji home. When he got home, his illness worsened, so he awarded the "Tian Wen Zi" to his eldest son, Liu Lian, and said, "Give it to the emperor quickly, and don't let future generations learn this book." He also said to his second son, Liu Wangjing: "For political affairs, we should alternate between leniency and fierceness. The task at present is to cultivate virtue and reduce punishment, so as to pray for God to bless the country for a long time. Those strategically important places should be integrated with Beijing from a distance. I wanted to play a legacy, but it was useless because Hu Weiyong was in power. One day, after Hu Weiyong stepped down, the emperor must think of me. If he asks you anything, he will play what I said to the emperor. " Liu Ji died at the age of 65 after only one month's stay at home. When Liu Ji was ill in Beijing, Hu Weiyong sent a doctor to treat him. After Liu Ji took the medicine, a stone as big as a fist appeared in his belly. Later, Zhong Cheng Tu Jie first exposed the case of Hu Weiyong's rebellion, and said that Hu Weiyong poisoned Liu Ji to death.

Liu Ji is full of campus, handsome, generous and generous, and whenever he talks about world events, he always shows his face. Mao knew that he was very loyal and entrusted him with a confidant. Every time you summon Liu Ji, you should avoid others and enter the inner room, and talk with Liu Ji alone for a long time. Liu Ji also thinks he has a rare experience, so he knows everything in front of Mao. Whenever there is an emergency, Liu Ji always has the courage to work hard, and his strategy is determined. People can't predict. In his spare time, he will apply Chen as Wang Zhidao, and Mao always listens, often calling Liu Ji an old gentleman without calling his name, and saying, "You are my Zhang Zifang." He also said, "The old gentleman persuaded me many times with the words of Confucius." Therefore, the secret words in the accounts of Mao and Liu Ji are unknown to the world, but what is magical in the world is mostly just some sayings of Yin and Yang Feng Shui, not Liu Ji's wise words. Liu Ji's articles are magnificent and wonderful, and he is a master of the same generation as Song Lian. His works include Fu Bu Ji and Li Mei Gong Ji, which are spread all over the world. Liu Ji has two sons: Liu Lian and Liu Wangjing.
