Kong Ming died Liu Chan killed three ministers in a row, he was "floating"? Expert: It's stupid not to kill
There is a well-known saying in the introduction called "those who know the times are Junjie", which comes from the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that "those who know the times, care about Junjie, there are Wolong and Phoenix Chicks here." Although most of the film and television dramas come from the mouth of the rebels, the truth contained in this sentence is correct. The world is irreversible, and only by knowing how to move with the trend will we not harm ourselves or others. 01
In terms of the popularization of historical knowledge, the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be described as "harmful to others.". This novel suddenly detonated the "Three Kingdoms Fever" of the whole people, but many of the fabricated events and character images in the novel were regarded as the correct history by many people, and many characters of the Three Kingdoms were blackened to the point of no end but could not be defended. Among them, the character who was hacked the most was definitely Liu Chan. The historical evaluation of Liu Chan is actually very good, for example, in Liu Bei's last will, it is mentioned that he was relieved to hear that Zhuge Liang highly praised Liu Chan's talent. Some people may think that this is just the flattery of subordinates, but in fact, from Liu Chan's performance after becoming emperor, it can be seen that he really deserves Zhuge Liang's praise.

Zhuge Liang repeatedly went on the Northern Expedition, but Liu Chan was able to guarantee logistics with the weak national strength of the Shu state, and he governed the Shu state in an orderly manner. After Zhuge Liang's death, Liu Chan always supported the Shu state, and the imperial court was relatively calm, and there was no chaos in the court of Wei and Wu. In the end, when the Wei army pressed the border, Liu Chan also decisively chose to surrender. Taking the real-time strategy game as an analogy, the Shu kingdom can play with the four mines of the Wei kingdom for so many years by relying on one mine (productivity), which shows the talent of the player (Liu Chan).

In addition, Liu Chan also contributed the idiom of "Happy not to think about Shu", and when learned in the textbook, everyone thought that Liu Chan was stupid and cute. But now that I'm older, looking back at this story, if I still think that Liu Chan is stupid, then it is really stupid. If Liu Chan, as the king of the subjugated country, still dared to show ambition, wouldn't that be handing a knife to someone else? Not to mention that they themselves suffered, the ministers who surrendered to the Shu state had to suffer.
Liu Chan was such an emperor, Renyi (many times to pardon the world), housekeeper (to keep the Shu kingdom in order), and to know the times (decisive surrender and "happy not to think of Shu"), so Zhou Shouchang annotated the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and said: "The sage of the lord is out of reach." As for why Luo Guanzhong wanted to black Liu Chan, it was mainly because the Shu kingdom in the novel was orthodox, so the failure of justice must be carried by someone, so Liu Chan was selected.

The death of Shu Xiang Zhuge Liang was a huge blow to the Shu Kingdom, after all, such a great talent can be said to be rare in ancient and modern times, and Zhuge Liang himself was too dazzling, suppressing other ministers breathlessly, so there would be a dilemma that the Shu Kingdom had no real talents after Zhuge Liang's death. And what did Liu Chan, the emperor of the Shu kingdom, do when Kong Ming died? He killed 3 ministers in one go, making people wonder if he was "drifting" or "crazy" because he did not have the restraint of his father? In fact, Liu Chan's decision was free from its cleverness.

The first minister Liu Chan killed was named Li Mi .com. This Li Mi is a complete speculator. When Liu Bei attacked Yizhou, Li Mi advised Liu Bei to retreat with great righteousness, in fact, at this time, everyone would know that Liu Bei had no way to retreat, and Li Mi also came to brush a wave of existence, which can only be said to be to win a good reputation. When Zhuge Liang wanted to kill Ma Chen, he also used historical allusions to dissuade Zhuge Liang, not to mention whether those allusions were applicable, he said that Zhuge Liang must also be dealt with severely in order to ming the canonical punishment, otherwise others would think that Zhuge Liang was partial to his own cronies.
It was such a person who wanted to make progress after Zhuge Liang's death, so after testing Liu Chan's tone of mouth and not getting a reply, he thought that Liu Chan hated Zhuge Liang in his heart, and quickly scolded Zhuge Liang. Not to mention that he did not do this properly, just saying that such a minister who can do things is also a time bomb in the imperial court, so Li Mi is completely seeking his own death.

The second is Liu Yan. There are not many records in the history books about Liu Yan, only saying that he liked pomp and circumstance, liked to get drunk, and did not participate in the management of The affairs of the Shu state, but often echoed Zhuge Liang's opinions. Liu Yan was a man of great ambition and talent, his status in the Shu kingdom was very high, but he did not have any real ability, and after being reprimanded by Zhuge Liang, he was still sullen and unhappy, and the whole thing was a difficult lord to serve. In fact, such a person would not have been ignored by Liu Chan, and only blamed himself for having too many mouths.

According to the custom of the Shu kingdom every New Year, the chancellor's family members were going to the palace to ask the empress dowager for peace, and once Liu Yan's wife Hu Shi was left in the palace by the empress dowager for a month before coming out. At this time, it is normal for men to doubt whether they are "green", but Liu Yan's big mouth directly said it. Not to mention that this is just his suspicion, even if this really happens, the general minister will try his best to cover up, after all, the emperor's face cannot fall, and if it is really poked out, it will also affect the internal unity of the country. This kind of thing has happened in all the dynasties and dynasties, but only Liu Yan said to the outside world, he does not die, who dies?

The last one is Yang Yi. This old man showed his face because he assisted Ma Dai in killing Wei Yan in the novel. Maybe because of this, or because he helped Zhuge Liang do a lot of other work, so he thought that Zhuge Liang was cultivating him as the heir to the phase. As a result, when Zhuge Liang died, Liu Chan did not choose him to be the chancellor, and he said such a rebellious thing as "I knew that I had already turned to the State of Wei", which a normal monarch could not tolerate. For this reason, for Liu Chan's move to kill three people when Zhuge Liang died, experts said that it is really stupid not to kill, which is the great wisdom.
Conclusion Whether it is the emperor or the courtier, they need to be able to recognize their own identity and the actual situation, say what they should not say, do what they should not do, or cannot see the reality and admit death, there will be no good results. At this point, many people should learn from Liu Chan.
