For a long time, Liu Chan has been the object of everyone's talk. Some say he faints and incompetent, is a"
Ah Dou who can't get up
”。 However, some people say that Liu Chan is extremely smart and can be called"
An emperor through the ages
”。
So, why do some people say that Liu Chan is "an emperor through the ages"? Is he really that good?
In this article, I will answer these two questions.
First, why do some people say that Liu Chan is "an emperor through the ages"?
Those who hold this view do not mean that Liu Chan has made great contributions to China and is deeply respected by people. Rather, it is said that Liu Chan lived the best, the most relaxed, the most envied and admired in the chaotic world of the Three Kingdoms. On this point, the author mainly discusses the following.
First, Liu Chan sat on the throne for forty years and lived comfortably.
Zhang Wu yuan year (
223 AD
Liu Bei died of illness at the Yong'an Palace. Before his death, Liu Bei summoned Zhuge Liang and said to him:
"If the heir can be supplemented, it is supplemented." If he is not talented, he can take it upon himself. ”
After Zhuge Liang heard Liu Bei's words, he said that he would definitely do his best to assist the Hou Lord, and he would never dare to have two hearts. Then Liu Bei issued another edict and said to Liu Chan:
"You should treat the prime minister like your father."
After Liu Chan ascended the throne, he completely obeyed Liu Bei's will, made Zhuge Liang the Marquis of Wuxiang, and allowed him to open a government to govern affairs. Soon after, he let Zhuge Liang lead the Yizhou Pastor.
Since then, Shu Han has entered the era of Zhuge Liang. All the affairs of the Shu Han Dynasty were decided by Zhuge Liang alone. In the words of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is"
Political affairs are no big or small, salty and determined by the light
In Liu Chan's own words, yes"
Politics is Gurdjieff, and sacrifice is widowhood
If you think about it, Liu Chan only needs"
Sit firmly on the fishing platform
"Staying in the palace, he doesn't need to do anything, he's comfortable enough, right?" Whether it is to govern government affairs or quell rebellions, or to build meritorious deeds in the Northern Expedition to Cao Wei, the people who suffer hardships and hardships will always be Zhuge Liang. Moreover, Zhuge Liang never had any different intentions, bowed down for Shu Han, died, and then paid tribute to Liu Chan. Twelve years of Jianxing (
234 AD
Zhuge Liang died of illness in Wuzhangyuan, and then Jiang Huan, Fei Yi, Jiang Wei and others who succeeded him were also loyal to Shu Han.
In contrast, in Eastern Wu, Sun Jun, Zhuge Ke, and others exercised authority and arbitrariness, and Sun Liang was empted. On the side of Cao Wei, Sima Yi launched"
The Change of Gaopingling
The Cao Wei regime has since fallen into the Sima family.
Second, Liu Chan was aware of current affairs and had a benevolent heart, and at a critical moment, he surrendered to Deng Ai.
Jing Yao six years (
263 AD
), Wei smuggled Deng Ai to Yangping Pass, and zhuge Zhan was the general Zhuge Zhan at Mianzhu. After Liu Chan learned the news, he adopted the advice of Guanglu Doctor Tan Zhou and surrendered without a fight.
I have to say that Liu Chan could understand the situation and was a wise man, and he knew that with the strength of Shu Han, he was not Cao Wei's opponent at all. Even if he led his troops to resist and successfully defeated Deng Ai's army, Shu Han would sooner or later be destroyed by Cao Wei. Instead of that, it is better to surrender early, not only to save yourself, but also to avoid greater casualties.
Third, Liu Chan was a "shadow emperor" who successfully deceived Sima Zhao and enjoyed his old age.
Liu Chan surrendered, which did not mean that he would be able to live a happy and happy life, because Sima Zhao did not let him go easily. But unexpectedly, Liu Chan really spent his old age in peace. He succeeded in being once."
Winner
", show their acting skills to the fullest.
Once, when Sima Zhao held a banquet, he deliberately let people sing songs from the Shu kingdom, and the people next to him all sighed with pity, but Liu Chan talked and laughed freely. Again, Sima Zhao asked Liu Chan:
"Do you miss the Shu Kingdom?"
Liu Chan replied:
"Happy here, don't think about it."
That's the idiom."
Happy
Second, is Liu Chan really that powerful?
The author believes that Liu Chan, as a monarch, can sit on the throne for more than 40 years and manage those under his hands obediently, which must be a certain skill and skill. However, Liu Chan was definitely not as powerful as everyone thought, otherwise he would not have given the inheritance left by Liu Bei to Cao Wei.
Objectively speaking, Liu Chan is only mediocre, but definitely not mentally retarded, and there are several examples that can prove this.
In the first case, before Liu Bei died, he said to Liu Chan:
"The prime minister said that you are very measured, and if this is the case, I will be at ease."
This sentence is recorded in the "Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Biography of the Ancestors" Pei Songzhi's commentary "Zhuge Liang Collection", which should be relatively reliable. Zhuge Liang is a truth-seeking person, and he never shoots a horse, so the words he said, even if there is a certain element of comfort, are exaggerated. But even if it is exaggerated, Zhuge Liang will never disregard the facts and say that Liu Chan"
The measurement is very large
”。 Therefore, Liu Chan could never be mentally retarded. In the second case, after Zhuge Liang's death, Liu Chan no longer appointed a chancellor in order to prevent the power from falling.
So, what do you think of Liu Chan?
