Liu Chan was a famous ah dou in history, Zhuge Liang had several northern expeditions, exhausted and died to no avail, and Jiang Wei was also loyal to Shu Han, and finally did not escape the end of being destroyed by Cao Wei. And the happiness after the surrender makes people feel that Liu Chan is weak and weak, and only knows how to covet pleasure. But is this really the case? not necessarily.
Let's first look at the story of Lebu. One day after Liu Chan surrendered and Cao Wei was moved to Luoyang, Sima Zhao hosted a banquet to entertain Liu Chan. Before the banquet, Sima Zhao viciously instructed the musicians to play the music of Shuzhong. When the old shu han courtiers who were doing it heard the familiar tune, they remembered the pain of the subjugation of the country, and they either covered their faces or bowed their heads and wept, only Liu Chan did not look sad at all, laughing freely. Sima Zhao asked Liu Chan viciously, Do you miss Shudi? Liu Chan replied, "Happy here, don't think about Shuye." ”
Liu Chan's old minister Hao Zheng heard about it and instructed him that the next time Sima Zhaoru asked you again, you must cry and say, "The grave of the ancestors is far away in Shudi, and I don't miss a day!" Sure enough, Sima Zhao asked the same question again, and Liu Chan learned the Orthodox Teachings. Sima Zhao asked very strangely, how did this sound like Hao Zheng said? Liu Chan was very surprised and said, how do you know! Sima Zhao laughed loudly and never doubted Liu Chan again.
This story has always been an important basis for Liu Chan's inability to help, but if you analyze it carefully, you will find Ni Duan from it. This Ni Duan should start with Liu Chan's surrender.
Regarding the surrender, the Shu Han ministers at that time had many objections. The "Spring and Autumn of the Han Dynasty" records that Liu Chan's younger brother Liu Chen was the strongest opponent. His reason was that he should fight a battle against the water, that is, die in battle, and be attacked by the enemy army to break through the city, so as to be worthy of the foundation laid by his father Liu Bei. However, Liu Chan disagreed. Liu Chen went to the Temple of the Sect and cried, and when he returned, he first killed his wife and children, and then committed suicide.
Liu Chen was a representative of the opposition, and he raised his objections as a military general. His reason was to be worthy of the inheritance laid by his father. However, as the emperor, Liu Chan thought of the suffering of the people. The damage caused by the war to the people has been fully proved by the Northern Expedition for so many years. Probably for Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Liu Chan also did not quite agree, but Zhuge Liang was his father's orphan minister, and he took out the list of teachers before and after, and Liu Chan had to agree. Surrender, although they will definitely lose the position of emperor, and even the heads may not be saved, but Chengdu will be free from the pain of war, and the people of Chengdu will also be free from war.
Facts have proved that Liu Chan's practice is beneficial to the people. Zhong would rebel, and the army would burn and loot everywhere, so that the corpses in the city were in disarray, and it took several days before stability was restored. This is the suffering that war brings to people. After so many years of northern expeditions, Liu Chan was probably tired of it.
Back to the story of Lebu. Liu Chan's last sentence made Sima Zhao laugh. Liu Chan here looks like he has no intentions, but does he really have no heart machines? Probably not. Who is Sima Zhao? Smart and suspicious and careful, trying to survive under the eyes of such people, the slightest carelessness will kill the head. Only a silly look like Liu Chan will not be suspected, this is the great wisdom and foolishness.
