1. Liu Yan beat his wife and beheaded and abandoned the city
In the twelfth year of The Shu Han Dynasty, according to the regulations at that time, all the female relatives of the ministers were required to enter the palace to pay homage to the empress dowager on new year. Liu Yan's wife Hu Shi and Empress Wu were acquainted, so after the New Year's Greeting, the Empress Dowager stayed with Hu Shi in the palace to chat with her, and only after more than a month did she let Hu Shi go home.
The Hu clan is said to be extremely beautiful, so the husband Liu Yan believes that Hu Shi stayed in the palace not to chat with the empress, but to have an affair with the empress dowager Liu Chan. Liu Yan, who was full of vinegar, led five hundred soldiers under him to tie up Hu Shi, and ordered his subordinates to take off their shoes and use them to slap Hu Shi's face.
After Hu Shi was put down, she thought that she had been wronged, and she was ashamed and indignant, and she sued Liu Yan to the imperial court. After the trial, the Shu Han court believed that Liu Yan's public instruments were used privately, and the state's army could not be used to teach his wife a lesson, and the face of the person was not used to beat the shoes, so Liu Yan was beheaded and abandoned the city. In order to avoid related disputes, the tradition of celebrating the New Year with the female relatives of the ministers was forbidden.
Second, Kong Mingzhi Shu, Liu Chan lying gun Liu Chan has an affair with the Hu family? I don't think so. Liu Chan was, and after Zhuge Liang's death, Dong Yun repeatedly barged Liu Chan for the sake of choosing a concubine.
The later lord often wanted to choose to fill the harem, and allowed him to think that the number of concubines of the ancient heavenly son was only twelve, and now that the concubines were already in place, it was not appropriate to gain, and they finally did not listen.
However, Liu Yan's beating of his wife to death occurred in the twelfth year of Jianxing, at this time Zhuge Liang was not dead, and it is believed that Liu Chan did not have the courage to fool around. Rather than saying that Liu Chan was a defender of domestic violence women, it is better to say that the execution of Liu Yan was the embodiment of Zhuge Liang's spirit of governing Shu according to law, and the emperor's relatives and state relatives and elders and important ministers could not be exonerated.
Therefore, the key to this case should be that Zhuge Liang is at a critical moment in the Northern Expedition, and the Shu Han Dynasty has gathered heavy troops in the north, but in Chengdu, which is located in the rear area, some people have privately transferred troops. So Liu Yan must die, because he has no political sensitivity at all.
3. Elder and heavy minister, originally a straw bale
Although Liu Yan was an elder and important minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, when Liu Bei was in Yuzhou, he began to follow, and in terms of qualifications, he was definitely very old, second only to Guan Zhang, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others at the beginning of the army. But such an old qualification, why is everyone not impressed? Because Liu Yan is a straw bag with no material at all, the only thing he understands is the wind and snow moon, all kinds of ways of playing, and his only function in Shu Han is to chat with Liu Bei.
After Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, it seemed that he was already one of the few elders and important ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty, and he was given the title of Marquis of Xiangxiang, and his official position was second only to Li Yan. However, Liu Yan did not know the state affairs, so his actual work was to chat with Zhuge Liang every day and do some chores of Su Wei, liu Yan was a redundant person in Shu Han.
And such a redundant person actually clashed with Wei Yan, and afterwards he wanted to argue and perfunctory, but zhuge Liang recognized it, accused him of untruthful words, and prepared to punish him severely. Later, it was Liu Yan who handed Zhuge Liang a review letter, profoundly reviewed his own mistakes, and really criticized himself fiercely, before Zhuge Liang let him go. However, from then on, Liu Yan was also expelled from the center of shu Han and became a real high but had no real power.
Liu Yan was politically frustrated and worried that he would offend Zhuge Liang, and since then he has been in a state of panic and trepidation all day long. The Hu clan entered the palace to worship the empress dowager and stayed in the palace for more than a month, which occurred a year after the conflict with Wei Yan. The author thinks that Liu Yan probably drank too much that day, thinking that his wife stayed in the palace, must have an affair with Liu Chan, and everyone was watching his jokes, which made him do the stupid thing of sending a soldier to beat his wife.
Therefore, Liu Chan is not a defender of domestic violence women, nor is he a murderer, which is completely Liu Yan's own stupidity, becoming the only general in the Three Kingdoms to die because of beating his wife.
