Zhuge Liang can be said to have bowed down for the sake of Liu Bei's pulse, and died after that. In his later years, Zhuge Liang's health was getting worse and worse, and once, Liu Chan specifically asked Zhuge Liang: After a hundred years of Cheng Xiang, how should his descendants treat themselves? There are two meanings in this, one is that your descendants will not come to rebel? Second, how can I settle your children and grandchildren so that you can rest assured and I can rest assured.
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he knew it all too well, and he said to Liu Chan: There are still 800 mulberry trees in the family, enough for grandchildren to live, and His Majesty does not have to worry about it. After Liu Chan listened, he was relieved, let down his guard, and was also at ease. After Zhuge Liang's death, Liu Chan immediately abolished the system of imperial chancellors, and replaced it with two ministers to assist him, with power constraints and checks and balances, ensuring the supremacy of imperial power.
Liu Chan has ruled the country for 41 years, and he is not a Dou who cannot afford it
Emperor Liu Chan was not as rotten and incompetent as portrayed in romance of the Three Kingdoms. On the contrary, he is a good emperor who loves the common people. Liu Chan was the emperor with the most amnesties in history, and according to incomplete statistics, there were nearly 20 amnesties in 41 years. On average, there is an amnesty once every two years.
After Zhuge Liang's death, Liu Chan immediately separated the military power and separated the regime and sent different people to serve separately, preventing the family from dominating. Can you say he's not smart? Liu Chan is stupid? It was really not stupid at all, under his rule, the covenant relationship between the Shu state and Sun Wu was strengthened, consolidating the three-legged situation. And ethnic relations with ethnic minorities in the southwest have been stabilized.
Watching Liu Chan become emperor, in fact, what followed was a mess, with the Cao Wei regime and the Sun Wu regime on the outside, and the open and secret struggle between the internal Beneficial Prefecture system and the Jingzhou department. However, he did a good job, and Zhuge Liang also promoted a lot of talents for him in the government, making him pro-xianchen and far lesser. Liu Chan not only consolidated the rule of Jiangshan, but also retained the good name of Zhuge Liang's generation of sages, and made public sacrifices for the temple of Xiang Xiang. Unfortunately, in the later period, he forgot Zhuge Liang's advice, and the pro-villain Huang Hao, Yuan Xianchen, and Huang Hao continued to exclude The Xianchen, and the Shu state declined rapidly.
For the sake of the country and the people, the Shu state was defeated, personally tied himself up, surrendered to the Wei general Deng Ai, and exchanged the lives of the people
Before Liu Chan was destroyed in the Shu Kingdom, his first thought was not of himself, but of the lives of the people and ministers. When the Wei army reached the Shu kingdom, Liu Chan did not covet the throne, and he surrendered directly. Tie himself up and surrender to Wei general Deng Ai. The only requirement is to exchange one's own death for the lives of the people.
After Liu Chan surrendered, the shu ministers were basically not killed, and they were all promoted to varying degrees. This is much better than the fate of the Sun regime in Eastern Wu. Even the traitorous figure Sima Zhao liked him very much, praised Liu Chan as a sincere man, did not kill him, but moved him to the "Shu Village" to live, and then Liu Chan changed it to "Zhongshan Village" to avoid being suspected by Sima Zhao, and Liu Chan's descendants have been living here.
In the Three Kingdoms, Liu Chan was only 17 years old, and he was able to die at the age of 64, which is the real great wisdom. Liu Chan's life, in the later stages, coveted pleasure, reused villains, and tried to become a good monarch, but it was too difficult, he worked hard all his life, and he was pursuing the stability and happiness that he never had in his childhood.
