Speaking of Liu Chan as a person, we think of Zhuge Liang's "Table of Renunciation" written to him throughout the ages, and we also think of his deeds of the fall of the country. He was ashamed of his ancestors and wasted Zhuge Liang's efforts to revive the Han Dynasty. Why did Liu Bei want him to inherit the throne?
Liu Chan was actually knowledgeable, and Liu Bei valued him. Liu Chan's "Book of Han", "Book of Rites", "Han Feizi", "Guan Zi", etc., also learned martial arts riding and shooting.
Actually very talented. Zhuge Liang said that Liu Chan was "talented and sensitive", so he was not incompetent. The biggest mistake in his life was to kill a person who should be released, to release a person who should be killed, and only then did he lose his previous achievements. This hastened the demise of the Shu Han.
Liu Bei was born as a commoner, and after claiming the title of emperor, he was determined to restore the Han Dynasty, and soon after, he made Liu Chan the crown prince. Liu Bei attaches great importance to his cultivation and also places high hopes on him.
Liu Chan had talent, Liu Bei would vigorously cultivate Liu Chan, and the shu Han courtiers would be willing to devote themselves to his northern expedition.
Liu Chan reigned for 41 years, during which time he ensured the abundance of grain, grass and weapons for the Northern Expedition of the Qunchen, and had a very good ability to coordinate. In fact, the Shu Han at that time was justified in its demise, because it was not as good as the good time and place in the Cao Wei region.
The person who should have been killed was Wei Yan. As Liu Bei's general, Wei Yan was once promoted to general of Yamen for his military merits, and later he was promoted to the governor of Hanzhong, stationed in the north of Shu Han, and promised Liu Bei that he would defend the country for him and swallow up 100,000 generals.
Sure enough, Wei Yanzhen's beast HanZhongbei Barrier was that Cao Wei Fang had been unable to damage Shu Han in the slightest. He led his troops to follow Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, which also made Sima Yi terrified.
However, after Zhuge Liang's death, Wei Yan was falsely accused by Yang Yi of rebellion. Liu Chan did not verify it, so he asked Ma Dai to kill Wei Yan. In this way, without Wei Yanzhen guarding Hanzhong, Shu Han had no resistance during the later Jiang Wei Northern Expedition.
The person who should be killed is Huang Hao. Huang Hao was a eunuch who was favored by Liu Chan. However, Huang Hao and Chen Qi should cooperate inside and outside, secretly using power to manipulate the government and the opposition and exclude Jiang Wei. Later, Huang Hao told Liu Chanzhong if the Wei army would attack. Unsuspectingly, Deng Ai smuggled into Yinping, Liu Chan was forced to surrender, and Shu Han eventually perished.
In fact, in the Battle of Liu Bei's Yiling Tomb, the camp was burned down, and Zhuge Liang said that the number of Great Han Qi had been exhausted. Perhaps, the demise of Shu Han was inevitable, but Liu Chan's wrong killing and sparing of two people accelerated the demise of Shu Han.
