Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was eating baked cakes in the inner hall one morning, and when he had just taken a bite, the eunuchs in the palace quickly came to report urgently, saying that Liu Bowen, the military adviser of the protector of the country, was in sight.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, suddenly remembered that since the nineteenth year of Emperor Yuan Shun of the previous dynasty, the national teacher Liu Bowen helped him, until the recovery of the Han Dynasty, a total of nine years of cold and summer, countless battles of all sizes, especially five years ago with Chen Youliang's 600,000 army in Poyang, the military division used soldiers like a god to outnumber, it is really the reincarnation of Zhuge Kongming.

"If the national teacher Liu Bowen really has such a clever plan? ”

So Ming Taizu covered the baked cakes on the plate with a bowl, and waited until there was no trace before summoning the national teacher to see him. When Liu Bowen entered the palace and finished the salute, Taizu gave him a seat, and then Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Mr. knows mathematics and reason, can you know what is in the bowl?"

Liu Bowen then pinched his fingers and wheels, and then replied: "Half like the sun and half like the moon, I was bitten by the golden dragon, and according to the minister's opinion, this bowl is a baked cake." ”

Ming Taizu admired him in his heart: "In my court, there is such a knowledgeable national teacher, which is really a blessing for my Ming people." ”

Then Ming Taizu asked: "In the future, will there be any major things that will be unfavorable to my dynasty from generation to generation?"

Liu Bowen replied: "In the vast number of days, why should my lord's sons and grandchildren ask." ”

Taizu said: "Although there has been a certain rise and fall since ancient times, and the world is not a one-person world, only the virtuous can enjoy it. ”

Liu Bowen said to the emperor very cautiously: "If the minister leaks the heavenly secret, it is not trivial, his crime is extremely heavy, and he asks His Majesty to forgive the minister for the crime of ten thousand deaths, and the minister can take the lead." ”

Ming Taizu thought for a while before saying: "I will forgive you for your innocence, but it doesn't hurt to say it, if you still have some scruples about Liu Junshi, I will give you another gold medal for avoiding death, you can rest assured, besides, if you have made significant contributions to my Ming Dynasty and the Chinese people for thousands of generations, then I will make you the honor of the Ming Dynasty Protector of the National Teacher, come quickly." ”

Liu Bowen's prophecy of the Ming Dynasty's national fortunes, Liu Bowen said: "I will unify the world with the Ming Dynasty, the chaos in various places has been calmed, and the state affairs are also on the right track. In addition, it is also necessary to prevent the feudal princes in the territory from having their own side, and the northern forces will be strong, and the royal family in the south will be wiped out by the northern princes. ”

Taizu said: "Nanjing, the capital of our present, can be firmly guarded, how can we prevent it?"

Liu Bowen said: "The minister saw that although the capital was fortified and the defense was tight, it seemed that it was safe, unless the swallows flew into Beijing. The swallow in the text is to indicate the fourth son of Taizu, King Yan, and the area guarded by King Yan is Beiping, after the death of Taizu, he was succeeded by Taisun, and the fourth prince King Yan sought to seize the throne.

Then Liu Bowen made a song about baked cakes:

"This city is full of personal expeditions, and the mountains and rivers of a courtyard are forever peaceful. With the help of the palace officials, King Yan succeeded in usurping the throne and established himself as the emperor, that is, Ming Chengzu, changed the name of the year to the first year of Yongle, and moved the capital to Beijing.

"The bald man came to Wenmo Garden, and half of the heroes returned home. The remnants of the northern Hulu have won peace by the royal driver. "During the reign of Ming Chengzu, the northern Mongolian and Yi people Changxing invaded our China, and Ming Chengzu personally led the troops to fight five times and won a great victory, so the world was peaceful at that time.

"The miscalculated heroes dare not admonish, the living beings cover the soul of the lord, the country has pressed Ruiyun for seven years, the Hu people dare not harm the virtuous, send the golden dragon to restore the old one, and the sun and the moon shine on the frontier. "In the fourteenth year of the orthodoxy of Ming Yingzong, the northern Hu people invaded the south, and Ming Yingzong also followed the example of the first emperor to drive his own expedition, but was taken captive. Yingzong's younger brother succeeded to the throne, and Hu Ren saw that he couldn't be coerced, so he sent Yingzong back to Beijing seven years later, which was a civil change in history.

Taizu asked, "How is the world at this time?"

Liu Bowen said: "The world is in chaos. ”

Taizu asked, "Who is the one in my world who is a rebel?"

"The world is hungry and cold is weird, Dongliang Longde takes a baby, the forbidden palace is wide and the task is horizontal, the golden dragon grows up, the sophisticated golden dragon is strong and vigorous, according to legend, Kunyu follows the dragon hall, the eunuch appoints the Bao Sheji, and the eight thousand female ghosts are chaotic. ”

When Ming Chengzu usurped the country, the eunuchs made a lot of contributions, more ventilated information, monitored dissidents, and eunuchs like lackeys, so Ming Chengzu began to set up the East Factory to spy on the actions of officials, and the eunuch father-in-law grew in power because of the emperor's favor, and persecuted Zhongliang. Among them, the eunuch appointed Bao Sheji, and the Eight Thousand Female Ghosts Chao Gang pointed out that Chengzu reused the eunuchs and eunuchs, and the four words of the Eight Thousand Female Ghosts together are the Wei characters, and Wei refers to the rebellion of the eunuch Wei Zhongxian in the Ming Dynasty, bullying the superiors and subordinates, tyrannical and vicious, and the scourge has reached its peak.

Taizu asked, "How about the eight thousand female ghosts messing with the world?"

"Zhongliang killed and collapsed like a mountain, and there was nothing to do by the water, and he saved the true flesh and blood of the golden dragon, and the poor father and son were difficult to do. ”

Taizu: "Could it be that father and son are fighting for the country?"

Liu Bowen: "Definitely!"

"Hanging a ruler on the tree," refers to Chongzhen hanging on the willow tree, and his feet do not touch the ground.

"If it is good, it will end in the world. "The Ming Dynasty ended when Emperor Shun ruled the Qing Dynasty.

Taizu: "What's the end?"

"Ten thousand sons and ten thousand grandchildren are layered on top of each other," indicating that during the Wanli period of Shenzong,

"Ancestral mountain shell clothes," refers to Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty,

"The prince is no longer in the court, and the eighteen sons and grandchildren are on the line. "The Ming Dynasty experienced a total of eighteen emperors from Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang to Emperor Chongzhen, including the era name and characteristics, all of which were in Liu Bowen's prophecy.

Liu Bowen went on to say:

"Kinoshita," Kinoshia is the word Li,

"There is a knife in the eye. "A knife refers to the word itself, and a Wu Ding refers to the word, which means that in the last years of the dynasty, Li Zicheng established himself as the king of Chuang, and Zhang Xianzhong and other troops rebelled, which eventually led to the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

"The world is heavy on literature and not on martial arts, heroes and heroes always have no spring, Wuzi is ugly and chaotic, people everywhere are not at home, and there is a famine. It describes the chaos of the social state in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the emphasis on literature and light on military force, the disturbance of copycat bandits and coastal pirates.

"Safely guard the osmanthus. Referring to Wu Sangui, the Ming general who guarded the Shanhaiguan, because Li Zicheng robbed his concubine Chen Yuanyuan, Wu Sangui was furious and opened the city gate to lead the Qing soldiers into the customs.

Taizu: "Occasional famine, usually grassy, the world is fine?"

"The thieves in the West are in turmoil, no one is loyal and dares to admonish, happy to see the children and grandchildren shame the sun, the decline and luck ascend to heaven early, the moon lacks two ears in the middle, the traitor machine sends away to the west and the east, the Yellow River wades through the troubled Jinque, and runs to the plum blossoms on the ninefold. ”

Ming Chongzhen sixteen years, Manchurian Emperor Shunzhi ascended the throne, but he was young, so by the regent uncle Dolgon, and led the Qing soldiers into the customs, and ran plum blossoms on the nine, nine is the meaning of the mountain, the last Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty hanged himself and died in Meishan.

Taizu asked very suspiciously: "Could it be that the bandits on Meihua Mountain are disturbing my Ming Dynasty, I can order the army to be wiped out quickly to eliminate the troubles." ”

Liu Bowen: "Definitely. ”

"Moved south to the north to set Taiping, Zuo Wang Zuo Emperor Ding Niu Xing, transported to six hundred and half, Menghua Youzi was frightened. ”

Taizu said: "There are 600 years of national ancestry, I have been satisfied, and I still hope to have half of it, why don't the national teacher leave a bag and hide it in the library, so that it will not be lost from generation to generation, and you can open it when you are in trouble." ”

The Ming Dynasty originally had 600 years of national fortune, but because of the corruption of the people's hearts and the traitorous ministers, and only lasted 292 years, the Qing soldiers entered the customs, and the Qing soldiers entered the customs is also what Liu Bowen predicted Wu Sangui. However, because the Ming Dynasty has not yet exhausted its qi, Zheng Chenggong retreated to Taiwan, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack the mainland to recover the Ming mountains and rivers, and although the Qing Dynasty occupied the mainland of Shenzhou, the people's anti-Qing and Ming restoration forces were strong, which was related to the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty.

After Liu Bowen had a detailed explanation and prophecy of the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty, he also wrote the way to crack it, and sealed it in the bag with wax, and stored it in the imperial treasury of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Bowen then sang a song of prophecy about the national fortunes of the Qing Dynasty:

"Nine-foot red Luo three-foot knife, persuade the king to travel freely, eunuchs are noble and do not cultivate martial arts, only Hu people are in the second and eighth autumns, osmanthus blooms good heroes, and the Great Wall is demolished to be filial. This refers to the fact that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court reused Wu Sangui as the generalissimo, but Wu Sangui opened the city gate to invite the Qing soldiers to enter the customs, which led to the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

"There are repetitions in the world of the Zhou family, picking all the plum flowers in vain, the duck head green on the back of the ox, enjoying the national treasures and millet in peace, the cloud cover Mid-Autumn Festival is lost, the Hu people are still Hu people poison, and the laurel branches are never broken repeatedly. It refers to Wu Sangui's return to the Qing Dynasty, and then plotted to rebel, and was later quelled.

"The Lord of the Moon Palace was established," referring to the fact that after the Manchurians entered the customs and established the country, their country name was Qing.

"He rice and a wood will go, twenty-three people live in eight directions. Refers to the establishment of the Manchu Eight Banner Army.

Taizu: "Could it be that twenty-three people live in peace in all directions of the world?"

Liu Bowen hurriedly played the emperor and said: "The ministers deserve death, I really dare not hide the truth, the Ming Dynasty has evolved to this point, and it has been extinct for many years." ”

When Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang heard that the Ming Dynasty had been destroyed for a long time, he was extremely shocked and asked Liu Bowen: "Where does this person grow, if he is clothed and called, what is the name of the country, and how will he govern the world?"

"There are also Hu people 28 autumn, 28 Hu people 28 worries, 28 cowherds in February and August, and 28 Chang'e with people's husbands. It describes the reign of the Qing Dynasty, from the first year of Shunzhi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in 1644 AD to the third year of Xuantong in 1911 AD, a total of 268 years, and 268 is exactly the 628 in the text.

Taizu asked again: "Since ancient times, the foreign Hu people have invaded our Central Plains and Han land, and they have definitely not occupied our Greater China for more than 100 years.

Liu Bowen then explained to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Rain grass Allah out," referring to Manchuria,

"Half of the pedestrians on the road, half of the monks, and the bare-headed boys were bleeding. It refers to the Qing Dynasty people who had half bald hair and half braids, and their clothes were like monks' robes, and they wore blood-red hats on their heads.

"The number of hexagrams is less than three counts," predicting the meaning of Kangxi's reign of sixty-one years,

"Kiss on kiss and kiss on kiss. ”

Taizu: "The Hu people have used people so far, the water takes away the fire and extinguishes it, and the relatives are close to each other, so it is not the horses that make a mess." ”

Liu Bowen: "No, Hu people are heroes......"

"The snail head blows silently, and the dot painting beauty silk is self-divided, and it is true that year. That is, Yongzheng reigned for thirteen years.

"The crow of the mud chicken is empty, and the tree produces spiritual branches and lacks souls. The courtiers begged for the moon without light, kowtowed to each person's population, and congratulated each other at first sight, "referring to Qianlong,

"Carefree Zhou Jiale famine. It refers to the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, when the country was rich and the people were strong, and he reigned for 60 years, and died after another three years.

Taizu asked, "Have the Hu people perished at this point?"

Liu Bowen: "No, although the rule has been chaotic for a long time, the people have different intentions, but the luck is not exhausted. ”

"Twenty-year-old wrestlers double opening," refers to the word Jia,

"People are short-minded. Refers to the word Qing, that is, the name of the Qing Dynasty Jiaqing.

"There are 8,000 monks in Shizuo Temple, and the fire dragon crosses the river and is hot and difficult, and the head is small when he kowtows," referring to the Qing Daoguang Emperor,

Tiger into the mud, that is, the Qing Dynasty in the last years of the foreigners and slightly strong carve up China, the British and French coalition forces, etc., and then Liu Bowen also predicted that during the Guangxu period, the Empress Dowager Cixi was in power, and the Qing Dynasty fled to Rehe after the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the Qing Dynasty perished.

"The grass head adds ten mouths, and the woman holds the child as an advocate," Cixi and Emperor Guangxu,

"The heavenly golden dragon tripping vest. It refers to Sun Yat-sen's death in Beijing before the reunification of China.

Taizu asked, "Have the Hu people been defeated so far?"

"Ninety-nine with a steel knife in hand, kill all the Hu people, stop," overthrow the Manchu Qing,

"The sound of the cannon and the smoke of the fire lost the way, and moved to the south and the north in the sixth and third autumns. "After the establishment of the Republic of China, China was mainly divided into two major military governments in the north and south, and the warlords were divided, and the smoke of war covered Shenzhou, and the civil war lasted until the eighteenth year, and the whole country was unified, so the six three autumn is six times three that is, eighteen.

"It's pitiful and difficult to cross the Yanmen Pass, pick all the plum flowers and exterminate the Hu," after the last Li Zongren of the Republic of China, the mainland was occupied by the Communist Party, and the Mongolian, Hui, Tibetan, Miao, Manchu and other Hu people were wiped out or unified.

"Although the overall situation between the two sides of the strait has been decided, the Cultural Revolution has greatly damaged their vitality.

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "Does the Qing Dynasty still exist at this time?"

Liu Bowen replied: "At this time, the Qing Dynasty has been in decline for a long time. ”

Next, Liu Bowen's prediction of China's 2,000-year-old peace and prosperity and its emergence as a superpower is as follows:

"Hu people have been dead for a long time, there are literary stars in the four major eight directions, the same shape of Xianheng, the harmony of the Qin Se into the ancient road, sooner or later the emperor and Zhongxing, five hundred years out of the holy monarch, the holy monarch still asks the real person out, the world is virtuous and good, the luck of the south out of the generals, the saint can turn the source of chaos, the eight-sided Yi people pay tribute, the palace maid is diligent in cultivating the night moon, the Qiankun is like heavy gold, the northern Hu Lu harms the living souls, and the southern army is annihilated, the craftsman and the horse ride alone to the foreign country, the generals let stay in the three stars, the three yuan reincarnate and the luck opens, the overhaul of the civil and military saints, the upper and lower three yuan are not inverted, the clothes and cultural relics come together, the seven yuan is not wrong and the three yuan, the big open style test couplet, the monkey is full of boxes of chickens to escape the shelf, and the dog barks and the pig sings in the Taiping year, civil and military all-rounders, scattered and chaotic fugitives, love the people like sons and brothers, create a new monarch to repair the old capital, know the truth in a thousand words, and stay with the common people to testify to the alliance. ”

In Liu Bowen's prediction for the next century, you might as well guess for yourself.
