Liu Ji is very clever, but he is very studious. He is a smart, enlightened and educated father who is very eager to learn. Reading is extremely fast, and it is said that there are seven lines. 12-year-old scholar was admitted to middle school and was called "prodigy" by his parents in the countryside.
In the first year of Taiding, 14-year-old Liu Ji went to the county seat to study. He studied the Spring and Autumn Classics under the guidance of his teacher. This is an obscure, profound, concise and meaningful Confucian classic, which is difficult to understand, especially for beginners. They just read the book and didn't understand its meaning. Liu Ji is different. He can not only read it silently twice, but also explain and explain what his predecessors have never said according to the literal meaning. The teacher was surprised to see this, thinking that he had seen it before, and then tried other paragraphs. Liu Ji can read it and know its main points. The teacher appreciated it very much and secretly praised it: "What a genius! It will definitely not be an ordinary generation in the future! " Liu Ji didn't spend much time studying Chunqiu Jing.
Four years, Liu Ji is seventeen. He left Fu Xue to study Neo-Confucianism and receive Confucian classics education in Zhucheng with Zheng Fuchu, a famous scholar in Chuzhou. In an interview, Zheng Fuchu praised Liu Ji's father and said: "Your ancestors accumulated profound virtues and sheltered future generations; This child is excellent and will definitely win glory for your family in the future. " Liu Ji is well-read and a hundred schools of thought contend. He is very proficient in astronomy, geography and art of war mathematics. Once I went to Huizhou, the hometown of Cheng Zhu's Neo-Confucianism, and learned that there was a book in Fuchun Mountain in the south of Shexian County, I went to Fuchun Mountain to have a look. It turns out that there is a complete Zoroastrian society hidden here. I not only discovered the magic of Taoism, but also met a large number of Zoroastrianism saints. Liu Ji's modesty, eagerness to learn and extraordinary intelligence have enabled him to learn and master a wealth of knowledge here.
In the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, 23-year-old Liu Ji went to the capital of the Yuan Dynasty to take the exam and was admitted to Jinshi in one fell swoop. War at the end of Yuan Dynasty, lived at home for three years. It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that it was awarded the title of Gao 'an County in Jiangxi by the Yuan government. He was loyal to his duties and strictly enforced the law, and soon made achievements. He went deep into the countryside and observed the people's feelings. He found that some wealthy businessmen and landlords in Gao 'an County colluded with corrupt officials to cheat money, rob people, rob wives and daughters and kill people. Liu Ji listened to the voice of the people, filled with indignation, and determined to work for the welfare of the people. After in-depth investigation and real evidence, we resolutely punished several notorious local strongmen and corrected the bribery of county officials. The social atmosphere in Gao 'an County has improved rapidly. Liu was praised by people for his integrity. In the past five years in power, the principle of handling local affairs is "strictly loving the people", which can not only sympathize with the people's feelings, but also condone illegal acts; On the issue of rape, we will not shy away from power. Therefore, he was loved by the local people, but because of his integrity, the local gentlemen hated him and always wanted to make trouble to frame him. Fortunately, officers and subordinates believe that he can ward off evil spirits. After Liu resigned, he returned to Qingtian. In the third year, the court hired him as the vice minister of Confucianism in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and the provincial examiner. Later, due to accusations and supervision,
In the twentieth year of Zheng Zhi, Zhu Yuanzhang invited him to Yingtian and appointed him as Zhu Yuanzhang's counselor. According to the situation at that time, Liu Ji proposed to Zhu Yuanzhang the construction strategy of avoiding two fronts and splitting into two, which was adopted. Assist Zhu Yuanzhang to concentrate his forces to destroy Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng. Liu Bowen also suggested that Zhu should break away from independent forces on the one hand; On the other hand, he wants to take Daming as the national title to attract the hearts and minds of righteous teachers all over the world.
In Wu Dongyuan, Zhu Yuanzhang named Liu Wei a servant, and Liu Ji named him "Wu Shen Li". The twinkling stars in my heart indicate that there is a soldier in disaster and chaos. Liu Ji asked Zhu Yuanzhang to write a letter to himself. In the dry weather, Liu Ji asked to deal with a long-standing grievance. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered Liu Ji to rehabilitate, and heavy rain fell from the sky. Liu Ji took this opportunity to demand the establishment of a legal system to prevent indiscriminate killing. When Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to execute the prisoner, Liu Ji asked why, and Zhu Yuanzhang told him his dream. Liu Ji said: "This is a unique auspicious image. We should stop punishing and wait. " Three days later, Haining surrendered, and Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy, so he handed over all the prisoners to Liu Ji for release. Soon, Liu Ji was awarded the Imperial City and Taishi Festival.
In the second half of the first month of Gongba, Liu Ji caught a cold. When Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it, he sent Hu and his doctor to visit him. The doctor prescribed the medicine, and he came back to decoct it according to the doctor's advice. He felt as if there were some uneven stones in his stomach, which made him very painful.
In mid-February, Liu Ji came to Zhu Yuanzhang due to illness and told him diplomatically that Hu brought his doctor to visit the patient and took the medicine prescribed by the doctor, which made him even more uncomfortable. Zhu Yuanzhang listened, but said some comforting words to let him relax and recuperate, which made Liu Ji quite chilling. In late March, accompanied by Zhu Yuanzhang's contingent and Mclynn Killman Liu, Liu Bowen could not move. After returning home, he refused all the medical stones found by his relatives and the village, and only kept a normal diet as much as possible.
A few days later, Liu Ji knew that there was not much future, so he found two sons to explain the aftermath. After telling this story, he asked Mclynn Killman Liu to take out a gobbledygook from his study and said to him, "After my death, you should give this book to the emperor immediately without delay. From now on, don't let our descendants of Liu learn this kind of knowledge. "He also said to his second son, Liu Jing," The key to managing a government lies in combining leniency with severity. What the court should do now is to cultivate morality as much as possible and keep the law as short as possible. If the incumbent can lead by example and influence the masses with morality on weekdays, the effect will be better than punishment and the influence will be far-reaching. Once subordinates or people make mistakes, they can put themselves in the other's shoes. Sentenced punishment will certainly achieve the purpose of serving the people fairly, and beware of turning over a new leaf; If the law can be as concise as possible and easy for people to understand and abide by, people's losses can be avoided, and the government's credibility and good image of goodness and virtue can be established. In this way, God will help me live forever. " He went on to say: "I want to write a detailed suicide note to tell the emperor my last thoughts and lessons, but Hu is still there." It's no use writing. However, when Hu is defeated, the emperor will think of me and ask you my last words. Then tell these words to the emperor! "Finally, he died in his hometown in April of 16 at the age of 65. June, midsummer, buried in the country.
