Chapter 92: Liu Ji (1)

In order to make the best of the landlord's suitability, Mei Xiaohan decided to hold a banquet to welcome these guests.

The officials around Mei Xiaohan didn't understand why Master Mei was so polite to these businessmen, and they were unwilling.

"It can't be some kind of distant relative who cheats to eat and drink, right?"

"Mei-sama is kind."

A person who leads troops to fight is energetic, and he is not ambiguous when he drinks, although he speaks rudely, but his words are not rough.

"Damn... Leading troops to fight all day long, not even letting Lao Tzu drink wine, this general has long wanted to be a general, and today I can vote under Lord Mei, it is really a blessing for me to meet spring! ”

A few generals drank a few bowls of wine, and then began to sway, and said: "It's not a way for us to always nest in this Meicheng, this fart is a big place, my BMW Mountain is running with joy, and you can run out with just a stick of incense, it's too fun." ”

Whether it was a civil servant or a military general, after receiving a warm invitation, everyone became rosy-faced.

Being able to sit face to face with these ministers and generals who could only be seen in history books at close range, Mei Xiaohan was quite emotional.

But no matter how powerful a person is, he is just an ordinary person after all, and if he is not appreciated, he will not be able to give full play to his own talents.

Mei Xiaohan had long wanted to develop outward, but he didn't dare to act rashly because he had no soldiers and no generals in his hands for a while. What's more, he is still the "King of Meicheng" of the imperial seal, although he has the title of a king, but it is only an empty name, and the total number of troops stationed in Meicheng is only hundreds, which is also a restriction made by Zhao Kuangyin in order to contain him.

Mei Xiaohan raised his wine glass and looked around, in current words, there are stars around him, and none of them are bad seeds, and in the face of these people, you can't be vague when talking to them.

"First glass, I wish you all good health!" After saying this, Mei Xiaohan raised her head and poured a glass of wine into her mouth.

The wine was a little bitter, but he still swallowed it, as a leader, the supreme commander, and the city lord of Meicheng, his every word and deed, every move, was seen by the civil and military generals present.

At this moment, people's hearts are not stable, because everyone here is not familiar with each other, which is not only a big disadvantage, but also a big advantage for Mei Xiaohan. Because they don't know each other, they can divide and conquer them.

For the era in which they live, the civil servants and generals present here already have some understanding, and all this is what the old man told them.

The Great Song Dynasty, which had just experienced the war of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, was established in the midst of ups and downs. The reason why Zhao Kuangyin was able to win the world was that luck accounted for a large component.

"Let's all come and see the lord!"

"It's not easy to be reborn!"

"It's worth living again!"

"Men are going to do big things."

A thin middle-aged man waved his fan and said, "What a group of reckless people." ”

The person who spoke was none other than Liu Ji, Liu Bowen. Liu Bowen is a military strategist, politician, and writer at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and the founding father of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Bowen posthumously presented the Taishi in the ninth year of Wuzong Zhengde, nicknamed Wencheng, and later generations called him Liu Wencheng and Wencheng Gong.

Liu Jitong is known as the four famous men of eastern Zhejiang, together with Song Lian, Ye Chen, and Zhang Yi.

Liu Kievzuo Zhu Yuanzhang completed the imperial cause, founded the Ming Dynasty and tried his best to maintain the stability of the country, so he was famous all over the world and was compared to Zhuge Wuhou by later generations.

Zhu Yuanzhang called Liu Ji many times: "My son Fang Ye." In the history of literature, Liu Ji, Song Lian and Gao Qi are known as the "Three Great Masters of Poetry and Literature in the Early Ming Dynasty".

Chinese folk widely spread "Zhuge Liang in three parts of the world, Liu Bowen in one country; Zhuge Liang, the former military division of the DPRK, and Liu Bowen, the military division of the later dynasty". He is known for his ingenuity and strategy.

Mei Xiaohan said: "I don't know who this person is?" ”

This person was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Berwyn meets Master Mei." ”

In front of Mei Xiaohan is the famous Liu Ji, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was able to succeed, Liu Ji can be said to be indispensable.

"You are Liu Ji who helped Zhu Yuanzhang achieve hegemony, Liu Junshi?"

"It's Liu Ji down there."

Mei Xiaohan said: "You are the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang is a hero, you don't seek fame and fortune, you don't claim to be a hero, and you have repeatedly been humble, but is there such a thing?" ”

Liu Ji said: "Although Berwyn is a meritorious hero, Berwyn's official title is indeed lower than other meritorious heroes, and Berwyn's annual salary is 240 stones, which is also lower than other ministers who have been awarded earls. Because Berwyn dared to speak out, he offended Prime Minister Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong. ”

"In that case, why are you here?"

Liu Ji said: "Berwyn has been honest all his life, although he has a talent, but after all, there is no one who appreciates it, so it is inevitable that he will be depressed, so he proposed to return to his hometown, originally thought that from now on, he could return to his hometown to live in his old age, but he never wanted to be plotted by Hu Weiyong. ”

Mei Xiaohan didn't expect that Liu Ji after rebirth was completely different from Liu Ji recorded in the history books.

In the fourth year of Hongwu, Liu Ji asked to return to his hometown, when there was a long and narrow area called Tanyang between Ou and Fujian, and the area was a place where salt sellers and thieves gathered, and Fang Guozhen rebelled from this.

Liu Ji entrusted his son Liu Lian to play a concert, suggesting that an inspection department should be set up in the area to control and govern the place, so that the Diao people there would have no opportunity to collude with each other or coerce the border soldiers to flee and rebel together.

Hu Weiyong made Wu Yun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, engrave Liu Ji, referring to the light ocean standing on the mountains and the sea, with the air of a king. Liu Ji wanted to use it as his own cemetery, but the local people did not agree, so they wanted to set up an inspection department there to embarrass the local people, which led to the rapid deterioration of the situation in the area.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the next pass to inform Liu Bowen of the matter.

This is a clear signal, but also a form of coercion, and without a proper response, the crime of treason will be on the horizon. Liu Bowen had no choice but to go to Beijing to personally visit Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask about it at all, Liu Bowen could not distinguish the truth, and did not dare to leave Beijing. Soon after, he became ill. At this time, Hu Weiyong came to visit the condition with tonic medicine.

After Liu Ji took the medicine brought by Hu Weiyong, he suddenly felt a hard object like a fist-sized stone clogging his chest. Liu Ji used his free time to play Zhu Yuanzhang again. Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't ask. After another three months, the condition worsened. Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to greet Liu Ji, and when he learned that he could no longer get out of bed, he asked him to return to his hometown in Qingtian on a ship that transmitted official documents.

Soon after, a generation of peerless wizards passed away like this.

"What do you think about the current situation?"

Liu Ji said: "What the current situation is, I still need to observe carefully. ”

"The Zhao and Song Dynasty is not stable, and there are constant external troubles, and the most important thing at present is to build on development, and continue to expand the power of Meicheng."

Liu Ji changed the conversation and said, "It depends on how ambitious Master Mei is?" ”

"If you have the world in your heart, the world can be determined!"

"Li Ji is willing to help Lord Mei achieve the emperor's hegemony!"
