However, when Zhuge Liang visited Liu Bei's Caotang, a couple in Longzhong helped Liu Bei make a plan for the world. Since then, he has been reused by Liu Bei, and once took control of the power of Shu Han, which can be described as a teenager's success and soaring. And Liu Bowen is a bit miserable, a late bloomer. Although Liu Bowen was admitted to the Imperial Examination in the Yuan Dynasty in his twenties, he became an official, but because of his personality, although he was honest and clean, he made great achievements, but he was repeatedly excluded. Finally, Liu Bowen simply abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown to travel around the world.
According to historical records, Liu Bowen was born in 13 1 1, while Zhu Yuanzhang was born in 1328 and Zhu Yuanzhang was in Liu Bowen 17 years old. In folklore, it was when Liu Bowen abandoned his official position and traveled back to his hometown that he met Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still a teenager at that time.
Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a peasant family, and his father made a living by renting the land of the landlord Liu Dejia. In order to help his family earn more money, Zhu Yuanzhang helped Liu De, the landlord, herd cattle from an early age. Although life is not rich, Zhu Yuanzhang finally has a mouth to eat and will not starve to death. Plus, there are a group of villagers who can play together when herding cattle. At this time, life can be accompanied by some happiness.
On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang, who has grown into a teenager, was sleepy, so he left the cow to graze on the hillside, and he lay on the ground under the shade of a big tree under the slope, sleeping with a long piece of wood under his pillow. Liu Bowen, who is passing by here, is tired from the journey and is ready to find a cool place to rest. He saw a lush tree in the distance and went straight to the shade under it involuntarily.
Liu Bowen went to the tree and saw Zhu Yuanzhang sleeping. I saw Zhu Yuanzhang's head resting on a piece of wood, lying on his back, with his limbs open and fast asleep. Tired of walking, Liu Bowen couldn't help feeling relaxed and happy, and suddenly felt playful. Liu Bowen smiled, picked up a grass branch next to him, squatted beside one of Zhu Yuanzhang's feet, and scratched the arch of Zhu Yuanzhang's shoeless foot.
Zhu Yuanzhang only felt itchy feet and lifted his feet sideways. In a daze, he scratched the soles of his feet with his hand, one hand in front, the other hand scratching his feet behind, curled up his legs and fell asleep again. Liu Bowen stood up, just wanted to laugh, and then woke Zhu Yuanzhang to talk, but when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's sleeping position on the ground, his expression froze. It turns out that Zhu Yuanzhang's sleeping position at this time is like a word "Zi". Liu Bowen is related to Zhu Yuanzhang's sleeping position before. Isn't that a word "day"?
Liu Bowen suddenly took a tumble. Together, these two words mean "son of heaven". This sleeping teenager is the master of the future world. Liu Bowen thought of here, I was surprised. Then, thinking about the whole process, Liu Bowen smiled again. It turns out that this is a hint from heaven. Zhu Yuanzhang needed Liu Bowen's help to achieve great things. Without Liu Bowen's death with a stick, Zhu Yuanzhang could hardly achieve great things. Then, Liu Bowen knew that his future depended on the sleeping teenager, and he must be a founding minister, so he smiled sincerely.
Liu Bowen thought of here, didn't go to wake up the sleeping Zhu Yuanzhang, but secretly inquired about the situation of Zhu Yuanzhang, a young herder, and left silently.
According to historical records, more than ten years later, Liu Bowen, who was 48 years old and lived in seclusion in his hometown, was surrendered by Zhu Yuanzhang together with the famous Confucian Song Lian and others at that time. Zhu Yuanzhang invited Liu Ji to help, but Bo Wen refused. Zhu Yuanzhang asked Sun Yan, the general manager, to invite Liu Bowen twice, and Liu Ji only started under the "three invitations".
Immediately after Liu Bowen came out of the mountain, he presented the Eighteen Policies on Current Affairs to Zhu Yuanzhang, pointing out the general direction of Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising. Later, he offered suggestions to help Zhu Yuanzhang pacify Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and other departments, and then explore the Central Plains to help Zhu Yuanzhang unify the world.
Since then, the people have gained the reputation of "one country, one country, Liu Bowen". Liu Bowen and Zhuge Liang became the embodiment of ancient wisdom together.
