Guangluxun was a common official position during the Three Kingdoms period and was ranked among the nine secretaries. Before the early Western Han Dynasty, the post was named "Lang Zhongling", which was renamed "Guanglu Xun" from the time of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, and continued to the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty without change. Guang Luxun was mainly responsible for the palace guards, and was also in charge of the selection and transfer of officials in the middle of the dynasty, and selected and reserved talents for the imperial court. Because the officials who held this position were in the forbidden place, very close to the emperor, and had great powers, they were generally held by the emperor's important and trusted courtiers. In the Shu Han Group, four people once held this position.
First place: Yellow Pillar. The historical record of the Yellow Pillar is unknown, and its main deeds are unknown. However, according to the records in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, the following information can be roughly obtained. First of all, Huang Zhu was a native of Nanyang County, Jingzhou, and was a famous scholar at the end of the Han Dynasty. After Liu Bei occupied several counties in Jingzhou, Huang Zhu joined Liu Bei's clique; secondly, in the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219 AD), when Liu Bei proclaimed himself the King of Hanzhong, he had great trust and respect for Huang Zhu and appointed him as the first Guanglu Xun of the Shu Han clique. However, there are too few records of Huang Zhu in the historical records, not only is there no introduction to his life deeds, but even his death year is not explained.
Second place: Li Yan. Li Yan joined the Liu Biao Group in his early years and served in many counties in Jingzhou, with rich experience in local governance. In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208 AD), Cao Cao occupied Jingzhou, and Li Yan fled to Yizhou, where he was favored by Liu Zhang and served as the commander of Chengdu County. During the Battle of Yizhou, Li Yan surrendered to Liu Bei at Mianzhu. After the war, Li Yan was appointed as the Taishou of Qian.
Li Yan has rich experience in local governance and outstanding political achievements. At that time, a rebellion broke out in Qianwei, led by Ma Qin, Gao Sheng, and Gao Ding. Li Yan immediately made a decision, and just led the county soldiers to quickly quell the rebellion and stabilize the local situation. After that, Li Yan led the officials to dig mountains and pave roads and renovate the city, so that the local transportation was convenient and the appearance was renewed. This shows Li Yan's wisdom and ability, and he also won Liu Bei's respect and trust by virtue of such political achievements.
However, although Li Yan has both intelligence and wisdom, his shortcomings are also extremely obvious. Li Yan was arrogant and arrogant, and he had a very high self-esteem, and it was difficult for him to get along with his colleagues and subordinates during his official period. During Li Yan's tenure as the Prince of Qianwei, he built a mansion for himself in order to satisfy his own selfish desires. After that, he also had a dispute over Cao Yanghong's contribution to the migration of Qian weizhi, forcing Yang Hong to resign his official position. When Li Yan was supervising Jiangzhou, he had a dispute with the ya gatekeeper Wang Chong over trivial matters. Wang Chong was cornered and eventually surrendered to Cao Cao. However, Li Yan's various bad deeds did not attract Liu Bei's attention, and Liu Bei still had great respect and trust in Li Yan, and when he was seriously ill, he also added him to the rank of knight and summoned him to the imperial court to entrust him with important duties. In the first year of Jianxing (223 AD), the later lord Liu Chan succeeded him to the throne and promoted him to Guanglu Xun. However, Li Yan became Zhuge Liang's political enemy and was eventually deposed by Zhuge Liang.
Third place: Xiang Lang. Xiang Lang was one of the high-ranking disciples of Sima Hui, a famous scholar of the late Han Dynasty, and joined the Shu Han clique during Liu Bei's control of Jingzhou. Xiang Lang's ability was valued and trusted by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and in the early days, he successively served as the Taishou of the Three Counties, and his achievements in the local government were very prominent, and after Zhuge Liang opened the palace, he summoned Xiang Lang to his side to serve as a long history, and let Xiang Lang and himself send troops to the south to fight, quelling the rebellion of the southern heroes. During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Xiang Lang followed him and gave advice, so he became Zhuge Liang's confidant.
The turning point to Lang Shitu came during Zhuge Liang's "one out of Qishan". After Ma Mo's fiasco defeated the street pavilion, instead of taking the initiative to ask Zhuge Liang for his guilt, he hid in Yizhou. Xiang Lang, who had been close to Ma Mo before, not only did not tell Zhuge Liang where Ma Mo was hiding, but also privately assisted Ma Mo. When Zhuge Liang discovered this, he was very angry, and while executing Ma Chen, he dismissed Xiang Lang from his official position as a citizen, and Xiang Lang also spent many years in Chengdu.
In the eighth year of Jianxing (230 AD), when Li Yan was sitting in Hanzhong on the orders of Zhuge Liang, Xiang Lang was reactivated by Zhuge Liang, and thereafter he was promoted to the post of Guanglu Xun. In the twelfth year of Jianxing (234 AD), Zhuge Liang died of illness, and Xiang Lang was promoted to the rank of General of the Left, and the position of Guanglu Xun was succeeded by Pei Jun.
Fourth place: Pei Jun. Pei Jun was the last Guanglu Xun of the Shu Han Clique. There are not many records in the historical records, and through the records in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the following points can be roughly clarified: First, Pei Jun was born in a family clan in Hedong County, and his father Pei Mao was once a Shangshu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his brother and brother were all in important positions in the Cao Wei Clique; second, when Pei Jun escorted his brother-in-law into Yizhou when he was a child, smoke suddenly rose in various places and roads were blocked, and he stayed in Yizhou with his brother-in-law's family since then; third, Pei Jun was brilliant since childhood, and was known for his outstanding learning and modesty in Shudi; fourth, After joining the Shu Han clique, he became an official to GuangluXun and eventually died of illness in office. When Pei Jun died of illness, the Shu Han clique had entered the last stage, with eunuchs in turmoil, turmoil in the government, and strong troops outside, and the situation was uneasy. Therefore, since Pei Jun's death, the Shu Han Group did not set up the post of Guanglu Xun.
