However, Zhu Yuanzhang only had a headache for a while and soon regained his composure.
After all, this is his business, what's there to worry about?
In fact, for many things, don't think about the consequences, just do it, or if it's a big deal, you have to start over.
But Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to take things lightly such as uniting troops to fight and the affairs of the common people.
Zhu Yuanzhang has been in the commander's mansion recently, but his intelligence system is running at high speed.
It is Liu Bowen's skill to strategize and win decisively thousands of miles away.
Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to invite Liu Bowen to the commander's mansion.
He and Liu Bowen didn't have a thorough talk last time, but Li Shan grew up in the middle. This time Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to have a good talk with Liu Bowen.
When Zhu Jianhua was in college, he was very fond of ancient history.
My favorite place is Shang Yang’s reform.
At that time, after many years of war, the Qin State was impoverished and the country was on the verge of collapse.
Under this circumstance, Shang Yang used great courage to open up the path of reform and ushered in the era of Qin's prosperity and military strength.
It laid a solid foundation for the unification of the world by the Qin State in later generations, and also laid a solid foundation for the development of the Chinese nation in later generations. The immortal achievements of Shang Yang's reforms will always be remembered by history.
"Commander!" Liu Bowen gave Zhu Yuanzhang a deep salute.
"You're welcome, Mr. Liu! Please sit down! Yuanzhang wants to ask you some questions today!" Zhu Yuanzhang said politely.
"Commander, please speak!"
Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak immediately, but walked around the handsome hall first.
Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about what he was going to say, because this matter was not so easy to say. Zhu Yuanzhang had to think carefully, should he say it?
"The reason why the rebel armies in the world rise and fall repeatedly, and it is difficult to achieve anything, what is the root cause?"
"The commander-in-chief can ask this question. It seems that the commander-in-chief really has great ambitions! I wonder if the commander-in-chief is listening to flattery or the truth?" Liu Bowen said seriously.
Zhu Yuanzhang said without any doubt this time, "Truth and flattery are actually useless!"
"If you tell me, Marshal, Bowen can speak freely. If you say something wrong, Marshal, don't blame me!"
"Sir, please speak. The speaker is not guilty, but the listener is warned! Yuanzhang is all ears!" Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the commander's seat.
"The so-called rebel army, although it was huge at the time, was in trouble for a long time. The reason is nine evils. The first evil is disrespecting Confucius and Mencius, blaspheming the way of the saints, corrupting the laws of nature and human relations. The second evil is attacking without restraint and acting like a bandit. The third evil is: The four evils are that one cannot be self-sufficient in food and pay. The five evils are that one does not know the art of war before the battle. The five evils are that one plunders people's wives and property and only knows how to take it from the people, but does not know how to support them. The six evils are that the general is narrow-minded. The seven evils are that the general is narrow-minded. Evil, soldiers lack training, and fighting is like a group fight. The eight evils are that they gather together when they win and scatter like birds and beasts when they lose. The nine evils are that one rebel army and another rebel army are suspicious of each other and attack each other."
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed drastically and he even broke out in cold sweat!
What Liu Bowen said was so right. He violated many of these nine rules. Think about how many rebel brothers died in vain because of the struggle between him and Guo Tianxu!
In addition, the reason why Guo Zixing died was directly related to the internal strife in the rebel army. The recent killing of Xu Shouhui by Chen Youliang brought this internal strife among the rebel generals to the pinnacle. Liu Bowen clearly understood the situation and pointed it out directly. The enemy's fatal enemy.
People are like this. When they hear flattering words, they feel very happy, but if they are bad words, they are afraid to avoid them.
But Zhu Yuanzhang used the greatest courage to listen to Liu Bowen's talk about the nine evils, because Zhu Yuanzhang was the leader of the rebel army and was deeply touched by these nine evils.
But Liu Bowen did not wait for Zhu Yuanzhang to say anything and continued, "If the nine evils are not eliminated, even though they are called rebels, they are actually grass bandits and thieves!"
To be honest, the reason why Liu Bowen dared to say these words was because he had great trust in Zhu Yuanzhang.
Because Liu Bowen believed that Zhu Yuanzhang was the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, it was actually the duty of a loyal minister to offer truth to the Lord of the Ming Dynasty.
But Liu Bowen had already put himself in danger by doing so.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang is also a rebel. He is insulting and sarcastic towards Zhu Yuanzhang, and every sentence is true, it is so harsh!
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up excitedly, put the cup on the handsome case, and threw it to the ground, smashing it to pieces.
However, Liu Bowen was unmoved and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.
In an instant, Zhu Yuanzhang's angry face disappeared, "Eternal curses will be passed down from generation to generation! Mr. Liu, you are right in scolding! So right! Please also ask Mr. Liu to write down these nine evils for Yuanzhang. Yuanzhang must read them every day. , be vigilant at all times and strive to eradicate these nine evils as soon as possible!"
"Commander, Bowen has taken the order. I thought that Marshal would kill Bowen or drive Bowen out of Jinling. I didn't expect that Marshal would have such a broad mind and magnanimity, which is admirable!" Liu Bowen said sincerely! .
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, what you are really saying is a slap in the face and a jelly bean to eat. Okay, Mr. Bowen, stop flattering us. We should be realistic and solve the problem in time." The task is urgent and heavy.”
"Excuse me, Marshal, what else do you want? Marshal, please tell me. Bowen will definitely tell you everything he knows!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen and said, "Mr. Bowen is a great talent. I said that night that we should legislate to restrain the army's lieutenants, generals, and other people. I would like to ask Mr. Bowen to provide suggestions on this matter. Now our rebels Among them, Mr. Bowen is extremely talented and knowledgeable, so I am very grateful!"
After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he specially bowed his hand to Liu Bowen.
"Commander, don't worry. Bowen will do his best to handle this matter with all his heart! Bowen resigns!"
After Liu Bowen finished speaking, he hurriedly left the handsome manor.
Zhu, looking at Liu Bowen's retreating back, thought to himself that if he wanted to succeed, he must get rid of all the nine evils mentioned by Liu Bowen.
Only in this way can the cancer in their rebel army be cleared away, and only then can they go further.
A sick person will not be able to do much if the disease is not cured.
Zhu Yuanzhang was really shocked when he heard Liu Bowen's shocking words today.
He used to be complacent and felt that he had done a good job, but he didn't expect that there were so many sins in him. He really didn't expect it!
As the ancients said, if you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good!
Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind to be vigilant every day, starting with himself, and then restraining his subordinates.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang came to the back garden of the Marshal's Mansion again.
Looking at the broken branches and leaves that he chopped down with his sword due to his rage.
He was thinking that as a handsome man, you must keep calm at all times. Even if the sky is falling, you must not be upset.
It is said that Mount Tai collapses but does not change color. Now it seems that he is still a little far away from this. Take this as a warning, take a warning!
Suddenly Zhu Yuanzhang remembered something again. He asked Xu Da to be found.
