Anyone who has seen the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" should have heard of a name, that is, the later lord Liu Chan. As the successor of the second generation of officials, Liu Chan's reputation in history is really not very good, especially his sentence: Here is happy, do not think about Shu, once exported, it has become a well-known "famous sentence" for women and children. It's just that a few years have passed, and looking back at Liu Chan's actions in those years, will there be another thought?
Born in a chaotic world, in turmoil in his childhood, to the point of being called a prince, Liu Chan has always been obscure, and after ascending the throne to succeed the unification, he escaped the war because of inaction, resulting in the stability of the Shu Han Dynasty for decades
Liu Chan, the son of Emperor Liu Bei, also known as Ah Dou. It is said that when Liu Chan's mother was pregnant with him, she dreamed at night of looking up and swallowing the Big Dipper. At that time, those who would call the emperor king in the future would have such a legendary saying.
However, at that time, Uncle Liu Huang's life was depressed, running around every day, and he was often hunted down and killed for a small piece of land. Ah Dou was still young at that time, and naturally could only follow his parents to live such a turbulent and displaced life.
Especially when Xiao Pei was fleeing for his life, Uncle Liu Huang was too anxious to even take care of his son. Liu Chan, who was only a few years old, was separated from his father and adopted by a Fufeng man. It was not until Liu Bei later captured Yizhou that he turned around and retrieved Liu Chan.
As for someone asking: Wasn't Liu Chan saved by Zhao Yun's birth and death? How did he become adopted again? This point is actually exaggerated in literary works, and Liu Chan's disappearance and adoption by the Fufeng people can be seen in "Wei Luo".
Of course, we don't care whether it is true or not, anyway, Liu Chan's turbulent life in his childhood is true. It was not until Later that Liu Bei became king in Hanzhong that the 14-year-old Liu Chan was made crown prince.
In 223, Liu Bei died, and the 17-year-old Liu Chan, with the assistance of Zhuge Liang, ascended the throne as emperor. However, it is really unclear how much ability Liu Chan has, because Zhuge Old Man is too worried, "political affairs are not big and small, salty and determined by Liang", that is to say, Liu Chan is equivalent to the chairman of the listed chairman.
However, the relevant information is recorded, in order to train Liu Chan, Liu Bei did not let him learn the art of war and Tao strategy, what "Liu Tao", "Han Feizi", "Guan Zi", etc., his cultural class was grasped by Zhuge Liang. Not only that, but he also learned martial arts at Sheshan. It can be seen that Liu Chan is not the master of blindly eating, drinking and having fun.
It was just that he was still young when he became emperor, and Zhuge Liang was too diligent, which caused him to have nothing to do for a long time. By the time Zhuge Liang died, Liu Chan was 27 years old, and this was the reason why he really took care of the company's affairs alone.
Although Liu Chan also razed the rebellion in the later time, his performance was mediocre in the end, and there was no real achievement. Fortunately, because of the small number of soldiers, the people of Shuzhong lived relatively peacefully. This peaceful life lasted until 263 AD.
Detained in Wei, life is a song, the political soul is tortured, and the sentence "Here is happy, do not think of Shu" has become a famous sentence for thousands of years
At this time, the Shu Han Dynasty, in fact, there were already differences within the imperial court, and the eunuch Huang Hao became the one who gained power. In the face of the upcoming war, Jiang Wei was once sparse, but he was all pushed back by Huang Hao.
That is, in the summer of that year, the Wei lord Sima Zhao's army cut down Shu. At this time, a fierce duel was once again waged within the Shu Han Dynasty, with those who wanted to surrender and those who wanted to fight. Among them, Liu Chan's son Liu Chen thought that it was necessary to fight, but Liu Chan had no confidence in the face of the Wei army and was determined to surrender.
For this reason, Liu Chen committed suicide. Liu Chan's other sons surrendered along with them, and some of the early dead were not remembered. Poor old Jiang Wei was still thinking about making a plan, but unfortunately the plan was exposed and he died in the Sword Pavilion.
The Shu Han dynasty disappeared, and Sima Zhao, the lord of Wei, moved Liu Chan to Luoyang and made him the Duke of Anle County. Everyone thought that Liu Chan would spend the day in sorrow, but he did not expect that he was living happily.
Sima Zhao was a suspicious person, and he felt that Liu Chan's move was abnormal, so he would often test him. Once, Sima Zhao specially invited Liu Chan to drink, and then let people play Shuzhong music.
When the old shu han courtiers who surrendered with Liu Chan at that time listened to this song, it was a sadness. But look at Liu Chan again, calm and self-assured, listening to the pleasure can not be squeaked.
Sima Zhao was puzzled and asked him: Don't you want to miss Shuzhong? Unexpectedly, Liu Chan didn't even think about it, so he directly said, "Happy here, don't think about Shu." This is also the classic of the idiom "Happy not to think about Shu".
For this matter, the old ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty all sighed. Later, Hao Zheng told Liu Chan: Emperor, if the next time Emperor Wei asks you this question, you must not answer it like this, you must say, 'The grave of the ancestors, far away in Shudi, I don't miss a day', so he will definitely put you back soon.
Sure enough, after some time, Sima Zhao once again asked Liu Chan if he wanted to go home. Therefore, Liu Chan followed the instructions of the Orthodox Church. Unexpectedly, Sima Zhao saw the problem and said: No, this is not your style, but like the style of your subordinates. Liu Chan was immediately shocked when he heard it: Ah, how do you know?
After this incident, Sima Zhao no longer doubted that Liu Chan had anti-Wei intentions, so although Liu Chan was demoted to emperor, he lived peacefully until his death. Of course, because of his surrender, the people of Shuzhong did not suffer much from the war.
Is Lebu Shu cowardly or true wisdom? Liu Chan reigned for forty-one years, so long, does it mean anything?
In fact, posterity mostly evaluates Liu Chan because of the phrase "here is happy, do not think about Shu", believing that he is really mud can not support the wall, and there is no wisdom to call the king at all.
But is Liu Chan really so stupid? Or is it really so cowardly? Take a look at Liu Chan's relevant information.
First of all, Liu Chan was the longest-serving emperor in that period. He was emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty for more than forty years, including eleven years of Zhuge Liang's assistance, and most of the rest was taken care of by himself. This shows a problem: if Liu Chan really does not learn no techniques, it is really not easy to resist for thirty years.
And open the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", we can see Zhuge Liang's evaluation of Liu Chan, Liu Bei wrote this into the will before his death: Xiang Xiang sighed Qing Qing's wisdom, even greatly increased cultivation, too much hope, the trial can be so, why should I worry?
That is to say, Liu Bei was quite satisfied with Liu Chan, saying that You were very wise and much smarter than I thought, so I had nothing to worry about.
In addition, Zhuge Liang also directly talked about Liu Chan in the "Book of With Du Wei": the eighteenth year of the imperial court, the talented Renmin, and the corporal of Charity. This also shows that Liu Chan is not a gentleman of the faint, and has his own unique wisdom: love, benevolence, and good talent.
Finally, Liu Chan's governance of shu Han has always adopted Zhuge Liang's concept. The reason why Zhuge Liang went out to Shu many times to fight was because he knew that the land of Shu Han was difficult to develop, and if he wanted to develop, he had to go out.
But facts have proved that the road to go out is not easy, not only need wisdom, but also capable talents. Although Zhuge Liang said that he wanted to maintain the stability of Shu Han, he consumed too much Of Shu's internal sources before his death. Until his death, Liu Chan resolutely decided to truce cultivation, which was actually the right strategy. Because the development of Shu Han during this period was not only stable, but also the national happiness value was quite high.
In the end, if Liu Chan is incompetent, could shu Han have internal stability and the development of the whole people for decades? It can be seen that the ability to manage a country is not difficult for Liu Chan at all.
Some people disagree, saying that his happiness is a stupid statement in itself. That's right, it's a very heartfelt statement. But what if you think about it the other way around? If Sima Zhao suspected that Liu Chan had a desire for revenge, what would the Shu dynasty look like?
From the point of view of benevolence, this is very much in line with Liu Chan's behavior: if he must protect the people of Shu Han, then he must pretend to be extremely stupid and stupid. This is an effective way to sacrifice the image of one person and preserve the people of the Shu kingdom. It can be seen that Liu Chan's pleasure is not all wrong.
In fact, even if it is back to the level of Liu Chan's surrender, there is actually nothing wrong with it. Even Zhuge Liang could not do anything about Wei's forces, and Liu Chan was even less able to defeat Wei. Instead of years of war, it is better to surrender without a fight. This is a welfare for the people, even if it is easy to change the country, but there is no big change in life.
