After Zhuge Liang's death, Liu Chan, who controlled the government, was not very powerful, and in just one year, three important ministers of the imperial government died because of him, namely, liu Yan, the general of the cheqi, Yang Yi, the commander of the Chinese army, and Li Mi, the general of An Han
。
Of course, the death of these three important ministers was entirely self-inflicted, not Liu Chan's meanness and widowhood, let alone the liquidation of Zhuge Liang's faction.
Liu Yan, Yang Yi, and Li Mi, their deaths were completely their own search for death, and it was definitely not Liu Chan who deliberately wanted to deal with them.
Liu Yan, who was greatly disrespectful to Jun's father, falsely accused Liu Chan of having an affair with his wife; Yang Yi, who spoke ill of Jun's father and slandered the imperial court; And Li Mi slandered Zhuge Liang and maliciously provoked the relationship between the monarch and the courtiers.
The crimes committed by these three people, placed in any dynasty, are felonies full of slashes, but Liu Chan punished only one of them and did not implicate his family, which was already a very benevolent act.
Liu Yan
The crimes he committed were not exaggerated even by the three tribes. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms contains:
"In the first month of the twelfth year, The Yan wife Hu Shi entered the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager ordered the Hu Clan to leave the regents. The Hu clan has beauty, but Yan suspects that he has an affair with the later lord, and calls out five hundred Laohu, to the point of fighting with his feet, and then abandons him."
In the first month of the twelfth year of Jianxing (234), Liu Yan's wife Hu Shi entered the palace to congratulate Empress Wu on the New Year, because Empress Wu liked Hu very much, so she left her in the palace to accompany her, and only after January did she leave the palace.
It is reasonable to say that the empress dowager kept her wife in the harem to accompany her for more than a month, as long as she is a normal person, she will feel very honored, after all, the empress dowager is the emperor's concubine, as long as she can please her, why worry about glory and wealth? However, Liu Yan did not think so, he thought that Empress Wu left her in the palace because Hu was too beautiful, and she wanted Liu Chan to have a chance to have an affair with Hu. Then, in order to force Hu to admit his illicit relationship with Liu Chan, he actually asked the officials to beat Hu, and even slapped Hu's face with his shoes, intending to use torture to force him to admit to this unwarranted crime.
Just imagine, Liu Yan did this, Liu Chan was not angry.
If the crime of adultery with the wife of a courtier is confirmed, Liu Chan is doomed to be left behind for thousands of years, and will be despised by later generations of Shi Jia. Liu Yan's forced confession, in the eyes of any person, he just wants to nail Liu Chan to the pillar of shame and make him laugh at the shame of the people of the world.
Liu Yan's false accusations against the monarch like this, no matter which emperor was in power, even if it was a generation of Ming Emperor Tang Taizong, would not let him go, and if he encountered a fierce monarch like Zhu Yuanzhang, he would even more curse his nine tribes.
For Liu Chan, if Liu Yan is not executed, it is equivalent to acquiescing to his crime of adultery with the Hu clan, in this case, he is doomed to be left behind for thousands of years. Therefore, Liu Yan must die, and for his crime, it is not too much to behead his family, but Liu Chan is still a benevolent prince in the end, that is, he only kills one of them and abandons his body to death.
Yang Yi
His death completely verified the truth that "if you don't do it, you won't die." Yang Yi's talent was absolutely there, and at that time Liu Bei often talked to him about the country's military plans and political gains and losses. However, although Yang Yi is talented, he is too arrogant and arrogant, and his emotional intelligence is too low, he always thinks that his existing status cannot match his own talents, so he always likes to speak out and say some big disrespectful words, and eventually Yang Yi died on his mouth.
After Zhuge Liang's death, Yang Yi was not entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Liu Chan, so he was unhappy in his heart, and when he talked to Fei Yi, he said:
"When the past was lost, if I raised an army to serve the Wei clan, I would rather be so evil. It's a shame to go back"
The gist is that when the former prime minister died, if I raised an army to surrender To Wei, I would have fallen into such a field as I am today! It's a shame. Fei Yi was shocked to hear this rebellious remark, and he was deeply afraid that he would be implicated, so he hurried to report what Yang Yi said.
When Liu Chan received this report, according to the normal method of handling, saying such a disrespectful word, Yang Yi would undoubtedly die. However, at this time, Liu Chan remembered his past merits, so he could not bear to kill him, but only reduced him to a commoner. It is reasonable to say that At this time, Yang Yi, who was relegated to a commoner, should know that he has converged, after all, he can escape with his life, which is already a blessing in misfortune, and after that, he should know how to protect himself.
However, I don't know whether Yang Yi is really stupid or fake stupid, he did not think about repenting, and actually went to the imperial court again, and in the song chapter, he was not inferior to Liu Chan and wantonly slandered the Shu Han court. Just imagine, this time the Shu Han court could not spare him, naturally immediately arrested him and brought him to justice, and then Yang Yi also had self-knowledge, knowing that he was doomed at this time, and he still had some backbone, and he broke himself in prison.
Li Miao
His crime, excessive, is not excessive, but just put it at that specific time, and what he has done is somewhat sinful. In 234, Zhuge Liang, the protector of the Shu Han Dynasty, died of illness and mourned the whole country, and at this time, even Liu Chan himself was dressed in white to hold a three-day mourning ceremony for Zhuge Liang. At this point in time, Li Mi played Liu Chan inappropriately, slandering Zhuge Liang, saying that Zhuge Liang had the intention of rebellion, and Liu Chan should not respect him so much.
At this point in time, what did Li Miao mean by saying these words? When Shu Han was mourning his own chancellor, he actually stood up and asked Liu Chan to punish Zhuge Liang and not treat him so kindly, which was tantamount to nakedly punching Zhuge Liang's faction in the face. You must know that at this time, those in power are all zhuge liang's family, and even Liu Chan has great respect for Zhuge Liang, so when Li Mi says such a thing, he is doomed to his end, that is, death.
In short, all three of them are dead and alive, and there is nothing to sympathize with. If it were not for Liu Chan's benevolence, with their crimes, it would not be too much to cut them off, and the final outcome was only to be killed by himself, which was already a blessing in misfortune.
