The protagonist we are talking about today is called Lai Min, a high-lived official of the Shu Han Dynasty. It is at the top of the three countries longevity rankings that I once had. He was a famous scholar of the Shu Han Dynasty, but because he often made mistakes and did not cover his mouth, his official fortunes were not prosperous. In the fifth year of Jianxing, in the process of Zhuge Liang's preparations for the First Northern Expedition, Lai Min was deposed and dismissed for his unspeakable remarks. Who knew that later, as soon as Zhuge Liang died, Lai Min directly returned to Chengdu to be used.
The author of the Three Kingdoms noted that in his career, this official was dismissed three times, but each time he was successfully used. In the end, who constantly secretly entrusted Lai Min, who did this mysterious force come from, in fact, the answer is very simple.
Zhuge Liang
Let's first look at the details of this strange official.
Lai Min Zi Jingda, is a new savage. His family has been an official for generations, he is a descendant of the Eastern Han Dynasty Taizhong Doctor Lai She, and his father is Sikong Laiyan.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to Dong Zhuo's lawless behavior, the world was in chaos. Lai Min came to Jingzhou with his sister. Lai Min's brother-in-law is Huang Wan, who is also the nephew of Liu Zhang's grandmother. Therefore, Liu Zhang sent someone to pick up Min's sister, who by the way brought Min to Shudi. Since then, Lai Min has often appeared on various occasions as a guest of Liu Zhang.
Lai Min was an extensive man who was well versed in Guan Yu's beloved Zuo Chuan, especially in the hermeneutics of the Cangjie And Erya. Because of his special hobbies and mastery of the direction, it is easy for him to correct ancient texts.
In the nineteenth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei pingded Yizhou, and Lai Min was made a lieutenant of the canonical school. Liu Bei declared himself empress dowager and made Liu Chan crown prince, so he sent Lai Min as the crown prince' family order. Nominally the head of the prince's family, the nature is slightly biased towards the "barn grain diet". After Liu Bei's death, Liu Chan succeeded to the throne and made Laimin the general of Tiger Benzhonglang.
Five years after Jianxing, Zhuge Liang was at this time "determined in the south" and began to work on the affairs of the Northern Expedition. Zhuge Liang led his troops to garrison Hanzhong, and at the same time invited Lai Min to serve as a military sacrifice and auxiliary general. As soon as Lai Min arrived in Hanzhong, he had a big disagreement with Zhuge Liang, and because of this, Lai Min was dismissed from office by Zhuge Liang.
Liu Chan
According to the Book of Song, Zhuge Liang once commented that Laimin's situation of disturbing society was even more excessive than that of Kong Rong.
In the twelfth year of Jianxing, Zhuge Liang died, and Lai Min was immediately ordered to return to Chengdu as the Great Changqiu. What Lai Min ignored was that although Zhuge Liang died, the ecology of the officialdom was an eternal topic, and it was not long before he was dismissed for offending people. Lai Min was not clean for two years, and was promoted to the position of Guanglu Doctor, and not long after, he was dismissed from office for committing a crime. Such a rollercoaster of promotion and dismissal can indeed make us see many problems. In the end, Lai Min was used as a general of the Zhi Shen, and it was someone who wanted to restrain himself with a responsible official position. During the Jing Yao period, Lai Min died at the age of ninety-six.
At this point, we have two more problems to solve. The first is why Lai Min was frequently dismissed, and the second is why Meng Guang, who is also speechless, never used again, and Lai Min can strike three times and three times?
1: According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lai Min was very knowledgeable. But he often spoke unrestrainedly, and many of his behaviors were counterintuitive. Sometimes the little secrets in the official arena, Lai Min, cannot be carefully guarded, and sometimes they will discuss the government under inappropriate circumstances.
2: According to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Lai Min was a well-known learned scholar at that time, and he was born into the Jingchu famous family. Most importantly, he was an old minister of the Eastern Palace at that time, so he was very preferential. And the one who gave preferential treatment was, of course, the ruler of the shu state with the highest power, Liu Chan.
In other words, when you become the emperor, you can be kind to your old butler.
