That afternoon, Liu Bowen met Zhu Yuanzhang again in his study.
This time, Liu Bowen was not as arrogant as he was in the morning. The first time he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Liu Bowen greets the Duke of Wu! It's my fortune that Duke Wu likes me. I was really muddle-headed in the past. Now, I've come to my senses. I only wish to follow Duke Wu and serve him.”
"Mr. Liu, please get up!"
Just like yesterday, Zhu Yuanzhang personally helped him up.
They were even sitting at the same table.
"I don't mean anything else. I just want to ask why Mr. Liu suddenly changed his attitude. "Even if Teacher is satisfied with Biao 'er, you can just be Biao' er's teacher. You don't have to assist me.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were filled with curiosity.
He was really curious. What did Biao Er do to make Liu Bowen's attitude change 180 degrees?
Liu Bowen smiled bitterly.
"I originally thought that Duke Wu's statement about the prince's natural ability was exaggerated. Only after meeting the prince did I know that the Duke of Wu was not exaggerating. He was extremely humble. The prince was only seven years old, but he had already achieved so much. In time, it would probably not be as simple as Confucius and Mencius. Your achievements have already made me admire you. I don't have the face to say that I'm teaching you.”
After listening to Liu Bowen's words, Zhu Yuanzhang felt extremely good.
This is one of the most famous scholars of the current era. He is now full of praise for our son.
He said that our son is not as simple as Confucius and Mencius.
Liu Bowen thought for a moment and continued.
"The prince will definitely become a literary saint in the future. As the father of a saint, how can you not be a wise ruler?”
"If you can get this world, then this world will welcome two generations of wise rulers.”
"Even if you don't succeed, the prince will definitely succeed. At that time, you will still be King Wen of Zhou.”
"This, Sir, you praise me too much. How can we compare to King Wen of Zhou?”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands repeatedly as the smile on his face widened.
For a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang felt as if he had drunk too much wine. He even felt that it was unreal.
Sometimes, when he saw how powerful his son was, he wondered if he could become a figure like King Wen of Zhou in the future.
In his dreams at night, he would think that if he could take over the world, at least he wouldn't have to die for two generations like Qin.
Who asked him to have a good son?
If he could become the ruler of this world, Zhu Biao would be the only one to inherit his position.
Because only Zhu Biao was a wise ruler who was better than him.
However, he was only thinking about it in his mind.
In fact, his biggest request now was to build more foundations for his son and strive to make his son's path easier.
But now that the Jinshi of the previous dynasty and the famous Confucian of the current era had said so, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally ecstatic.
Moreover, Liu Bowen was a scholar from the previous dynasty who had changed from arrogance to deference!
Zhu Yuanzhang took a long time to control his ecstasy and said to Liu Bowen.
"Since Mr. Liu is prepared to sincerely assist me, I also want to ask Mr. Liu.”
"Duke Wu, please ask. I will do my best.”
"Now that the situation in the world is complicated, how can we become a relatively strong dukedom?？”
After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Liu Bowen immediately understood that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to see his ability.
Liu Bowen sat quietly and pondered for a while. Soon, he was overjoyed.
"This is easy!"
"Firstly, the world does not belong to one person. Only those with virtue live in it. Now the government of the Yuan Dynasty is in disrepair and the sea is in turmoil. If you can really use Shang Tang and King Wu of Zhou to appease the people and punish the criminals, you can replace them with hundreds of miles of land and a brigade of troops.”
"Secondly, Meng Yuan is at the end of his rope. The Red Turban Army turned to the Central Plains, and the Yuan soldiers could not bear the disturbance and had no time to attack the rest. This was a godsend opportunity. We should do our best to pacify the southeast, and then lead the army north, so that the cause of the king can be achieved.”
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his face lit up. This Liu Bowen was indeed quite capable.
It was not in vain for him to invite someone to invite him.
These two statements first affirmed the validity of Zhu Yuanzhang's rebellion, and then kicked away his current nominal ruler.
At the same time, he flattered Zhu Yuanzhang. Han Lin 'er and Yuan Jun were both Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, while Zhu Yuanzhang was the last Liu Bang.
"Third, Chen She rose first and died first. Because he was the king first, he was the Qin army's 'master'... For now, it is better to temporarily use the name of Han and Song to avoid being the' master'... Since the Yuan Dynasty was exhausted, there was no need to join forces with Han and Song to march North. Han Song and Yuan Dynasty are fighting each other, unable to control our army, if we attack the south, there will be no future trouble.”
After listening to the third plan, Zhu Yuanzhang would have cheered loudly if he did not want to interrupt Liu Bowen's plan.
The third plan was to give Zhu Yuanzhang a way out.
He would continue to pretend to be the Duke of Wu and serve his monarch. Then, he would hide behind the monarch and expand his power.
This coincided with Zhu Yuanzhang's idea of slowly becoming king and accumulating food.
" Fourthly, Chen Youliang is located upstream and has Jing and Xiang. He has been spying on Jiangdong for a long time…Zhang Shicheng is secretly occupying Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He claims to be alone. If he is attacked from the east and west, he will definitely be attacked from both sides…Chen Youding has no ambition and is not powerful enough. He is not worth worrying about. He can plan slowly…Only Fang Guozhen is under threat. He is cunning and cunning. We must guard against him. However, Fang's ambition is to run amok, there is no long-term plan... Private ban can be lenient according to the situation, so that there is a place to support, then Fang's people will naturally be relieved, this is the law of surrender without fighting.”
After hearing the fourth plan, Zhu Yuanzhang was so excited that he couldn't sit still. He recalled Liu Bowen's words and walked around the table.
Liu Bowen's fourth rule was too powerful. This was to reveal everything about all the princes who could become influential except Zhu Yuanzhang.
This was a clear explanation of how to deal with each of them.
How capable was he?
Although Zhu Yuanzhang also had some ideas, he was far from being as mature as Liu Bowen.
Liu Bowen was giving him a path to heaven.
How could Zhu Yuanzhang still sit still?
"Fifth, Jiankang is the old capital of the Six Dynasties…It is the foundation of the government and the center of the tripod. Moreover, the dragon is coiled and the tiger is sitting…Sixth, those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. The way to get the people is to cultivate virtue and reduce punishment, light ballad and thin tax…Seventh, it is the foundation of respecting the wise and able…"
"Eighteenth, if there is a lack of momentum, then Xiao Rou can subdue great strength; If there is a limit to the shape of the body, then the big fierce can not break the small hard. If we can judge the hour and size up the situation, guide the way according to the situation, eliminate the obstruction and cover, promote the benefits and eliminate the evils, then the choice lies with us, and there is no need to go and do things that are not suitable. Why worry about the failure of the emperor's career?”
Liu Bowen proposed eighteen strategies in one breath. Zhu Yuanzhang was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
Good lord, Zhuge Liang's three brilliant plans had divided the world into three parts.
He, Liu Bowen, directly offered eighteen strategies.
The military was a matter of strategy, the people's livelihood, and even diplomacy...
In the end, he told Zhu Yuanzhang that if he did as he said, it would definitely work.
"Mr. Liu is really my daughter!”
Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down for a long time, but he was still extremely excited.
