Li Shanchang was cited by Zhu Yuanzhang as the first hero, and was named the Duke of Korea in the third year of Hongwu (1370), which is very remarkable, because at that time Zhu Yuanzhang only made a total of six dukes, and the other five people were Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, Deng Yu, they are all a generation of famous generals who fought in the blood, and surprisingly, Li Shanchang's ranking is still above these people, ranking first. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he is also the only civil servant among the dukes.

In contrast, Liu Ji also made great contributions to Zhu Yuanzhang's fight against the world, but he was only awarded the title of Earl of Sincerity. What is intriguing is that his salary is also the lowest among the earls, with an annual salary of only 240 stones, while Li Shanchang is 4,000 stones, more than ten times more than Liu Ji.

Liu Ji strategized and won a decisive victory, and played an important role in many important decisions, why did he only get such treatment?

In fact, this problem does not seem to be so difficult to explain, Zhu Yuanzhang is a person with a strong sense of locality, Li Shanchang is his hometown, and he has only worked behind the scenes for many years, never stealing the limelight and working hard, such a person Zhu Yuanzhang is very relieved. Relatively speaking, Liu Ji is a foreigner, and more importantly, Liu Ji's judgment of things is often more accurate than him!

From the Battle of Longwan to the rescue of Anfeng, what Zhu Yuanzhang thought of, he also thought of, what Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect, he still thought of it, if you were the emperor, would you allow such a person to be by your side?

And more importantly, these decisions are not a policy to calm the people, but a strategy to scheming, it is very useful to engage in a conspiracy coup, plus Liu Jihou's foundation in black studies is also very deep, Zhu Yuanzhang will think of him from time to time to persuade himself not to save Han Lin'er, who knows if he will do the same to himself in the future, it's good not to kill him, do you still want a reward?

Although Liu Ji has been smart all his life, he has also neglected this, which determines that it is difficult for him to become the ultimate winner in this struggle, but for Shen Cong, as long as Liu Bowen can disgust Li Shanchang and add to the blockage of this great prime minister, then it can be regarded as his own success.

In the first year of Hongwu, the two sides clashed for the first time, and the supervision agency at that time was modeled on the Yushitai established in the Yuan Dynasty, and Liu Ji was the Yushi Zhongcheng, that is, he was the leader of the Yanguan, and the advantage at this time was on Liu Ji's side.

The fuse that caused the conflict was a person named Li Bin, a close confidant of Li Shanchang, he was arrested by Liu Ji for breaking the law, and after finding out the crime, Liu Ji decided to kill him, at this time Zhu Yuanzhang went out, Li Shanchang hurriedly went to Liu Ji to intercede, but Liu Ji refused to eat, and reported the matter to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally furious and ordered Li Bin to be executed immediately, but unfortunately, this reply happened to fall into the hands of Li Shanchang, he didn't dare to hide it, but he was also furious. In order to save the lives of his cronies, he thought of an excuse, and he believed that as long as he told this excuse, Liu Ji would not refuse his plea.

He found Liu Ji and said to him: "It has not rained in the capital for a long time, and my husband is familiar with astronomy, so you should not kill people in vain at this time." ”

Li Shanchang can be described as an old treacherous and cunning, he knows that Liu Ji is well versed in astronomy, and uses this as an excuse, if Liu Ji insists on killing Li Bin, he can put the responsibility for not raining on Liu Ji, and there was no weather forecast at that time, and the ghost knows when it will rain.

However, Liu Ji's answer was: "Kill Li Bin, it will rain!" ”

Li Bin was killed in this way. Enraged, Lee began to prepare his first counterattack.

Liu Ji dares to say such a thing, it should be said that he is sure that he does understand astronomy and meteorology, but the problem is that even today's weather forecast is inaccurate.

But this time Liu Ji's luck was not good, it didn't rain for a long time, and as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang came back, Li Shanchang's long-accumulated energy burst out, and he incited many people to attack Liu Ji. Zhu Yuanzhang is an understanding person and does not feel sorry for Liu Ji, but Liu Ji himself knows that he can't stay here, so in August of that year, he asked for leave and returned to his hometown.

Before leaving, at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was hot-headed and wanted to build the capital in his hometown of Fengyang, Anhui, and at the same time actively prepared for another expedition to the Northern Yuan.

Later facts proved that he was right again, it should be said that Zhu Yuanzhang at that time understood Liu Ji very well, and he said to Liu Ji's son that now the Manchu Dynasty has formed a party with both civil and military forces, only Liu Ji is not involved with them, I understand people and will not treat him badly.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was really deceived by Liu Ji this time, Liu Ji is not a good man and a woman, he had already laid his own chess piece - Yang Xian before leaving. Yang Xian was Liu Ji's sworn friend, and he was instructed by Liu Ji to take over as Yushi Zhongcheng and prepare for a counteroffensive against the Huaixi group.

This Yang Xian is not simple, he keeps his head open, supports Gao Jianxian and others, and uses the power of the official to constantly collect Li Shanchang's black materials, and often makes small reports in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that Li Shanchang has no talent and no virtue, and cannot be entrusted with important tasks.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang is not a stupid person, he knows what Yang Xian's purpose is in saying these words, he was not moved by it at first, and he still trusts Li Shanchang very much, but people are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? If a person keeps saying bad things about your girlfriend next to you, after a long time, you will inevitably believe it, after all, it makes sense to say that "it is better to believe what you have than not to believe what you don't".

So after a long time, he also slowly had an opinion on Li Shanchang, and he had many accusations against Li Shanchang, and in November he quickly recalled Liu Ji, and he also entrusted him with important tasks. So far, the Huaixi Group has been fully suppressed, and the Zhedong Group has begun to gain the upper hand.

Zhedong Group is about to become the winner, Li Shanchang is very worried, he understands that he has become a target, Huaixi Group is in danger, and it is inconvenient for him to go into battle in person, and Zhedong Group openly argued, he thought left and right, why not learn from Liu Ji? Find a spokesperson, but this person can't be too prestigious, and it must be easy to control, so he took a fancy to Hu Weiyong, but history played a joke on Li Shanchang, what he didn't expect was that this choice finally made him embark on the road of no return.

Hu Weiyong is Li Shanchang's hometown, he followed Zhu Yuanzhang very early, but he has always been unhappy, always doing some petty officials such as the county governor, but he is indeed a capable person, after getting Li Shanchang's approval, he became the new leader of the Huaixi group, and this struggle will eventually end in his hands.

There is a saying: people are not as good as heaven, just when the Zhedong Group was proud of the spring breeze and was ready to defeat Huaixi in one go, things changed again, because Liu Ji Liu Bowen's words were too direct, in fact, he had no communication skills, which offended many people, so many people began to say bad things about him in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang was also suspicious of this resourceful first strategist, so there was a conversation that decided Liu Ji's fate later.

Liu Bowen, who has always been scheming, has finally come to an end.
