The ancestors of the Ming Dynasty regarded Liu Ji as Zhang Zifang of the Western Han Dynasty. Zhang Zifang only hoped to be regarded as a "liuhou" and became complacent. Later, he ignored the court and retreated bravely, but Liu Ji He didn't know how to protect himself, and he felt hesitant, so he didn't end well in the end.
By the first year of Hongwu, Liu Ji was still extremely favored by Ming Taizu and was given the status of Yushi Zhongcheng. At that time, he could be considered impassioned. During that time, the master of Qingzhuzhai, the capital of Zhongshu Province, was convicted of corruption. Because of this, the master of Qingzhuzhai was a friend of Prime Minister Li Baishi. In the end, Li Baishi arranged for someone to come over to intercede with Liu Ji.
What is surprising is that Liu Ji intends to deal with it all the time. In addition to arranging people to sincerely go to Bianliang Ming Taizu to give instructions, what is surprising is that Prime Minister Li Baishi complained first and said to Ming Taizu. Liu Ji's "exclusive" behavior immediately stirred up a hornet's nest. What the emperor hated was his subordinates' "exclusive" behavior. Ming Taizu was about to squeeze out Liu Ji, but what happened next made him even less important in front of Ming Taizu. There was a severe drought at that time, and Liu Ji told Ming Taizu that the secret lay in the guilt of the general who died for his country. People's anger causes yin energy, and it is best to deal with it appropriately. Ming Taizu followed his words and dealt with it appropriately. Surprisingly, there was still a severe drought at the beginning of ten days, so Ming Taizu angrily asked him to pack up and return.
However, Liu Ji is a founding hero, but Ming Taizu did not handle the incident very well, and suddenly transferred him back three months later. In the third year of Hongwu, he was even more regarded as a trustworthy man, but at that time, Ming Taizu no longer listened to Liu Ji's words. For example, Liu Ji thought that Xiwu, Wang Guangyang or Hu Weiyong could not be prime ministers. However, Ming Taizu did just that and appointed three people to become prime ministers. Liu Ji's words also reached the three of them, completely slandering them.
At that time, Liu Ji also guessed that Ming Taizu was the master of suspicion, so in the fourth year of Hongwu, he resigned and returned to Zixiang, refusing all official contacts, but seeking to protect himself. But even so, it is still difficult to escape the vicious hands.
In the sixth year of Hongwu, Hu Weiyong became prime minister because he hated Liu Ji for speaking ill of him.
So he slandered Liu Ji in front of Ming Taizu, saying that he had gained such a royal aura in his hometown and regarded it as his own graveyard. So he ordered Liu Ji's title to be removed. This frightened the elderly Liu Ji so much that he came to Nanjing at night.
I never want to go back. The depression and panic became a disease, and it was not until Liu Ji was about to die that the Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty issued a document asking him to go back. It was April 16, the eighth year of Hongwu. Liu Ji died in the house. Such a talented person did not die well.
You are tired of watching, here is a joke to make you fall in love with the snow:
So embarrassing
I remember there was a festival last year, and I went there with gifts. At a colleague's house, after entering his community, there was a female driver behind her who honked her horn violently and scolded me for occupying the lane, so I quarreled with her for a while.
I was embarrassed when I arrived at my colleague’s house. You all guessed it, my colleague’s wife was the female driver. It was so embarrassing! You sat there for 5 minutes and then left?
