Fenghou Baixiang was the supreme honor in ancient times, if there is such a figure in the family, it can be said that it is a matter of Guangzong Yaozu, it is reasonable to say that this kind of thing is theoretically very difficult, everyone should have heard the sentence "Feng Tang Yi Lao, Li Guang is difficult to seal", Li Guang can fight to death and not seal the Hou, but in the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, this Hou is really a relatively easy thing, after all, the chaotic world is a hero, like Guan Yu is the Marquis of Hanshouting, Zhuge Liang is the Marquis of Wuxiang (Wuxiang is a county), Zhang Fei is the Marquis of Xixiang, Ma Chao is the Marquis of Xiangxiang, and so on, have you found that Guan Yu, as the first person to be crowned marquis, ended up being lower than others, why is this?
In ancient times, the titles were generally divided into the fifth class of the duke's uncle, and at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the marquis was divided into county marquis, township marquis, Tinghou, Guannei marquis, Guannei marquis rank is the lowest, there is no actual fiefdom, generally is the general reward for the generals with military merit, some people under the name can collect taxes, and then up, these are all have actual fiefdoms, relatively speaking, it is necessary to cattle a level.
In that year, Guan Yu and Liu Bei were separated, condescended to Cao Ying, and made great contributions to helping Cao Cao cut off Yan Liang to relieve the siege of Baima, so Cao Cao went to the Han Emperor and applied for the title of Marquis of HanShouting for Guan Yu, and was also one of the earliest people in the Shu Han clique to be crowned marquis, and it should be known that his nominal status was equal to That Officiating.
Unfortunately, in 219 AD, because Mi Fang, Fu Shiren and others surrendered without a fight, Guan Yu's base camp was dedicated to Eastern Wu, which eventually led to Guan Yu being killed in 220 AD due to the defeat of the enemy soldiers on his stomach and back.
At the time of Guan Yu's death, Liu Bei had not yet been proclaimed emperor, and had just ascended the throne of Hanzhong in 219 AD, and did not have the power to be a marquis, but only sealed the four generals before and after, and Guan Yu was also the first to bear the brunt of the former general.
By 221 AD, Liu Bei officially proclaimed himself emperor, and he made Zhang Fei the Marquis of Xixiang, and if Guan Yu was still alive at this time, there was no doubt that Guan Yu would be promoted to marquis of township or even county, and the official position might also become the first general of Shu Han.
At that time, Liu Bei was called emperor, and only the general of the Hun Horse and the general of the horse were sealed, but the position of the great general was vacant, according to the general opinion of later scholars, Guan Yu was the preferred figure of the great general, when Guan Yu was accidentally killed, it hit Liu Bei very hard, so the position of the great general could not find a suitable candidate for a while.
And Liu Bei, who was orphaned in death, made Zhuge Liang the Marquis of Wuxiang, also a county marquis, so that Zhuge Liang's power reached its peak, if these old brothers can live longer, presumably they are at least a county marquis.
Therefore, the reason why Guan Yu has the lowest title is because of his early death, but for Guan Yu's title being lower than others, there are also many history lovers who do not think so, because from the perspective of gold content, Guan Yu's Marquis of Hanshouting is not inferior to Liu Beifeng's county marquis, after all, the ancients always pay attention to orthodoxy, Guan Yu's Marquis of Hanshouting, although Cao Cao got it for him, but that is really the will of Emperor Xian of Han, which belongs to the orthodoxy of the Han Room, and the name is justified.
Later, after Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, he posthumously gave Guan Yu a "Zhuang Miao Marquis", "Wu but not Zhuang, the name and the real Shuang Miao", which probably means that he is capable, inactive, a bit ambitious and unpaid, although it is not too good, but it is not evil, it is pertinent, maybe Liu Chan also feels sorry for Guan Yu's life!
