We all know Liu Bei in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei's image is a virtuous monarch with a kind heart, different from the sinister and deceitful Cao Mengde, but Lu Xun said that he was too benevolent, but it gave people a very hypocritical feeling.
Cao Cao admired Liu Bei very much, believing that he was a hero and a tyrant of a generation. Cao Cao believed that Liu Bei could survive in the chaotic world with him, and that he could do a great job, and that he was a man of achievement, and although he was an enemy, he could also be regarded as a confidant.
Why? We can see from Liu Bei's last words before his death that after Liu Xuande unsuccessfully attacked Eastern Wu to the east, he returned to the White Emperor City, when he was more than 60 years old, and he was also very seriously ill, and this disease was accompanied by other complications, and he felt that he was about to die soon, so he immediately called Ah Dou, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and others to order the matter after his death.
However, Ah Dou was still young and stupid at that time, and Liu Xuande knew that Ah Dou could not support a country, so Liu Bei asked him to study more and be a person of high moral character, and also told Ah Dou not to learn from himself, but to learn from Zhuge Kongming, and entrusted Ah Dou to him and let him take care of him carefully.
But these last words were not only addressed to his sons, but also to Zhuge Kongming, which on the surface seemed to be a request, but in essence it seemed to be a kind of "moral kidnapping", in case Zhuge Liang was not willing to take Ah Dou to the peak of his life? Liu Xuande directly told Zhuge Liang that if Ah Dou was not up to the task of a monarch, you could depose him for me and then run the country instead of him. From these words, we can also see how much Ah Dou disappointed his father. However, he did not bend over backwards against Zhao Yun, but had something to say, and directly let Zhao Yun help him manage his son well.
Zhao Yun listened to the clouds in the fog, and could only kneel down to echo it first. But Zhuge Liang's heart was full of waves, and Liu Bei's words stabbed into his heart like a knife. Because although Liu Bei seems to have shared the responsibility among three people, he actually gave Zhuge Liang a person, he taught Ah Dou to be morally high, in fact, he was warning Zhuge Kongming not to do things that violated the law and discipline, and calling Zhao Yun, a military general, was actually threatening Zhuge Liang with force, and don't move my son after I die, otherwise Zhao Yun will kill you for me. Liu Bei's words were equivalent to a Shang Fang sword at this time, and the world was invincible.
The reason why Zhuge Kongming was so hinted at was mainly because they had a mutual hatred before, Liu Bei had no trust in him, but Zhuge Kongming's ability made him have to hand over the power of the state to him, otherwise his life's hard work would have been completely wasted, but Liu Xuande's move was indeed too desperate, forcing Zhuge Kongming to be a loyal subject, Zhuge Kongming could no longer do anything out of the ordinary after his death, let alone threaten his son and Jiangshan!
