When mentioning the history of the Three Kingdoms, we all know that the most tear-inducing scene is Liu Beitou's lonely affair, which can be called a model of kings and subjects throughout the ages. No matter how later generations interpret it, no one can deny it: there will be no Liu Xuande again. Also praise: Zhuge Liang, who has been famous for thousands of years! Because only in the same period of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Yi, who was also a trusted and important minister, eventually stole the world of Cao Wei.
Zhuge Liang, on the other hand, was for the sake of Shu Han, bowing down and dying. Even if some people over-interpret it, they say that Zhuge Liang is exclusive, and they also say that Liu Chan hates Zhuge Liang. But the question is, can this be blamed on Zhuge Liang?
It should be noted that Liu Bei not only first let Zhuge Liang replace Liu Chan as emperor! After being rejected by Zhuge Liang, this forced Liu Chan to worship Zhuge Liang as his father: "After my death, the Ru brothers' father was in charge of the affairs of the chancellor, and Ling Qing only worked with the chancellor. ”
Notice the latter sentence, a "just work together" shows that Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang are equal in status. In addition to the previous phase parent. Properly explained, Zhuge Liang could completely control Liu Chan. This is Liu Chan's father's rule, what is the matter with Zhuge Liang? Moreover, after Zhuge Liang took power, he was humble and cautious enough to maintain Liu Chan's face everywhere. However, he also accused Zhuge Liang of picking bones in the egg.
Therefore, this question can only be investigated by Liu Bei, why did he so resolutely deprive his son Liu Chan of his "imperial authority"? In particular, he was forced to recognize Zhuge Liang as a righteous father. It should be noted that in the past, once this name was determined, it meant that Liu Chan's actual status was lower than Zhuge Liang's. Why? There are three reasons for this.
First, know the son Mo Ruo father
Liu Chan's talent, Liu Bei has the most right to speak. Although Zhuge Liang praised Liu Chan as "gifted and benevolent, corporal of charity". But to Liu Bei, what kind of son he understands, Ren Min is actually not important in the chaotic world of the Three Kingdoms, for a monarch, the important thing is "ambition".
The Three Kingdoms are standing, if you don't eat me, I will eat you, if you have no ambition, then you can only wait to be eaten by the other side, no one objects to this, right? Even Zhuge Liang was ambitious to go north! Because he and Liu Bei both understood this truth. Therefore, Liu Beicai must elevate Zhuge Liang and let Zhuge Liang take the lead.
Second, the understanding of the three countries
Liu Bei started as a small trader selling straw shoes and eventually became the founding emperor. In terms of understanding of the era of the Three Kingdoms, he was no worse than Cao Cao. For example, dead clinging to the sign of the Han Dynasty Patriarch (Emperor Uncle). Because although the Han Room is in decline, it still has the foundation of the people's hearts. Why didn't Cao Cao dare to usurp Han and stand on his own? Cao Cao also understood this truth.
It was precisely based on Liu Bei's profound understanding of the chaotic world of the Three Kingdoms that made him more anxious than anyone. Anyone familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms knows that if the early Three Kingdoms period was mainly Cao Cao tossing and turning, then in the later period, Liu Bei was playing with his life and making trouble. The Battle of Hanzhong, the Battle of Xiangfan, and the Battle of Yiling were all provoked by Shu Han on their own initiative.
Why? See Cao Cao, you will understand that the chaotic world is the place where the tyrants are used, and so is Liu Bei. When he joined Theokawa, he was already more than half a hundred years old, and he didn't have much time for him, so he didn't take the opportunity to "make trouble" and waited for the three kingdoms to develop separately.
The development potential of Cao Wei alone can crush the Sun Liu Alliance. This made him inevitably exalt Zhuge Liang, because the two people's understanding of the Three Kingdoms was the same.
Third, Zhuge Liang's special situation
If the first two articles are considered from the aspect of "publicity", then this last article is analyzed from Liu Bei's selfish heart. Let's first look at Sima Yi, the reason why he usurped power in Wei was largely due to two sons: Sima Shi and Sima Zhao!
Let's look at Zhuge Liang again, what about his descendants? Liu Beituo's orphanhood occurred in 223 AD. Zhuge Liang's son Zhuge Zhan was born in 227 AD. That is to say, when Liu Beituo was lonely, Zhuge Liang had no descendants - Zhuge Qiao was the son of his brother Zhuge Jin who was passed on to Zhuge Liang, not his own. It's different!
To Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang plotted to usurp the throne? How stupid to be to do this! Even if it is done, who will inherit the power? Zhuge Liang's situation is very special, unlike Sima Yi! Therefore, Liu Bei's intention of asking Liu Chan to worship Zhuge Liang as a righteous father (Xiang Father) is quite obvious: My son is your son!
I am afraid that at this moment, whoever is under zhuge Liang's role will surely bow down to Shu Han. Even Sima Yi would never rebel against usurpation of power, because without the help of his son, what would be the use of doing it? It should be known that this is a chaotic world, which is not comparable to the period of the Great Unification Dynasty.
