Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are the three male protagonists of the "Taoyuan Three Knots of Righteousness", and they are also the famous heroes of the Three Kingdoms period. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both Liu Bei's right and left arms, and they contributed outstanding strength to the establishment of Liu's Han Room, so they also won Liu Bei's trust and reliance.
Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both loyal and fierce generals under Liu Bei's account, Liu Bei's attitude towards the two of them was not the same. After Liu Bei sat in the Han Dynasty, he appointed Liu Chan as the empress dowager of Shu Han, and when Liu Chan reached the age of marriage, Liu Bei appointed a virtuous wife for his son, and let Liu Chan marry Zhang Fei's two daughters as empresses.
In this way, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei formed a family of children and daughters, and their relationship was closer, and they were connected by the same qi. But the strange thing is that Liu Chan, the lord of the Shu Han Dynasty, as an emperor, it is also extremely common to marry more women to enrich the harem, and Guan Yu also has 1 daughter, so why didn't Liu Bei consider forming a family with Guan Yu?
Whether Zhang Fei's daughter is five years old and three coarse and rude is difficult to say
In 221 AD, Liu Bei, surrounded by heroic courtiers, ascended the throne as emperor in Chengdu, with the state name "Han" and the era name "Zhang Wu". As a father, Liu Bei was also extremely concerned about the marriage of his son Liu Chan, and soon, under Zhuge Liang's kind words, he hand-picked Zhang Fei's eldest daughter as Liu Chan's crown princess.
Liu Chan declared himself empress dowager, and he made Zhang Fei's eldest daughter empress. According to historical records, Liu Chan's harem had more than ten women, but Liu Chan was very fond of Empress Zhang, and the husband and wife loved each other and spent 17 years of spring and autumn together. However, it is more regrettable that Empress Zhang eventually died of a serious illness, and Liu Chan was depressed for a while for the death of his beloved wife.
Later, Liu Chan married Zhang Fei's younger daughter and made her empress. So many people can't help but ask, Zhang Fei is a tiger general, with his appearance and figure, the daughter born must also be five big and three thick, rough and difficult to say type, right?!
In fact, the real image of Zhang Fei in history is really not rude and frightening, he can write and write, he is good at poetry and lyrics, not a simple and reckless warrior, but can be described by the word "Confucian General".
According to historical records, Zhang Fei married 2 wives in his lifetime, and the name of the original wife is unknown, but he gave birth to a son Zhang Bao for Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei's second wife was named Xiahou Shi, five years after Jian'an, Liu Guanzhang was defeated by Cao Cao, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei on the way to escape met Xiahou Shi who was collecting firewood in the countryside, Zhang Fei was deeply attracted by the beauty of this woman, so Xiahou Shi was acquired by Zhang Fei, and after the two married, Xiahou Clan gave birth to 2 beautiful and gentle daughters for Zhang Fei.
From this point of view, Zhang Fei is not a leopard head ringing eyes, but a Dancing Confucian general, Zhang Fei's wife Xiahou Shi is a beautiful woman, and the daughter of the two must also look good, Gentle and Virtuous, quite Xiahou's graceful style.
Why Guan Yu's daughter was not considered by Concubine Liu Chan
According to historical records, Guan Yu had 1 daughter and 2 sons, in the folk history, Guan Yu's daughter was named Guan Yan, born beautiful and intelligent, heroic and sassy, and learned a good martial art from her father before she reached adulthood. After Guan Yan understood things, she also took Zhuge Liang's wife Huang Yueying as a teacher and learned from her the knowledge of tactics and mechanics.
Guan Yu is loyal and courageous, his daughter Guan Yan is both beautiful and outstanding, such a high-quality girl will naturally attract the attention of many people, and many Haojie are willing to marry Guan Yan as a wife.
Once, Sun Quan, the lord of Eastern Wu, sent Zhuge Jin to Guan Yu's home to ask for an in-law on behalf of Sun Quan's son Sun Deng. However, Guan Yu was a person with straightforward speech and a reckless temperament, and he was unwilling to marry his daughter to Sun Quan's son, so he opened his mouth and said bluntly: Can the tiger girl marry a dog?
Guan Yu's words, which showed no mercy, made Sun Quan lose face and hurt people extremely. As a result, Sun Quan hated Guan Yu and vowed to regain Jingzhou and stop Guan Yu's prestige. In 219 AD, Sun Quan took advantage of Guan Yu's Northern Expedition and attack on Fancheng with a large army in Jingzhou, and sent Lü Meng as the vanguard marshal to rush all the way to Jingzhou.
After Jingzhou was taken by Eastern Wu, Sun Quan sent Lü Meng to fight again, encircling Guan Yu from front to back, and in the end, Guan Yu, who was attacked on his back, had to defeat Maicheng, and was finally captured and killed by the Eastern Wu general Ma Zhong in the countryside.
Guan Yu's daughter Guan Yan is a rare "all-round" talented woman, she is both internal and external, both literary and martial arts, and both color and art, and she is a real "tiger girl".
However, sun quan's son Sun Deng, who at best can be regarded as a "virtuous but widowed" generation, the history books do not describe Sun Deng too much ink, through some historical events, we can only infer that his virtue is good, but there is no special talent and ability.
Guan Yu, believing that his daughter was excellent and outstanding, bluntly rejected Sun Quan's proposal, and such irrational words and deeds eventually brought him the disaster of killing himself.
And liu bei must have heard about this matter before and after, Liu Bei's son Liu Chan is not a person of great moral integrity, if guan Yan is allowed to enter Liu Chan's harem, then Liu Chan, who has a strong wife and a weak and incompetent wife, must be the suppressed party in the relationship between husband and wife.
Therefore, Liu Bei is most likely unwilling to ask his son for a beautiful wife who is both outstanding and strong, and it is more likely that he is secretly worried that Guan Yu and Guan Yan's father and daughter will not look up to their own mediocre son Liu Chan, so that Guan Yan is naturally not a good candidate for Liu Chan's harem.
For the sake of political interests, Liu Bei, who was wary, was more willing to rely on Zhang Fei
Zhang Fei has a degree of acceptance and has always been Liu Bei's humeral confidant, and his loyalty and comprehensive strength have always been deeply believed by Liu Bei. However, after the establishment of the Shu Han Dynasty, Guan Yu's strength doubled, which undoubtedly made Liu Bei, as a monarch, feel a little jealous.
Zhang Fei has always followed Liu Bei closely, saddle up and back for Liu Bei to give advice and run to serve. Guan Yu, on the other hand, does not like to be restrained and is willing to guard one side alone, although Guan Yu is also a good brother of Liu Bei's birth and death, as long as he is an emperor, he will be jealous of his powerful generals - Liu Bei is naturally no exception, he knows Guan Yu's strength, and he is also deeply afraid that Guan Yu will defect, so it is also very normal to have jealousy of Guan Yu.
For the sake of the perpetuation of the Shu Han regime, Liu Bei had to consider gathering powerful clan forces through political marriage, compared to Zhang Fei's calm and steady, Guan Yu was more straightforward and reckless, and Liu Bei was well aware of the temperament of the two brothers.
He was afraid that Guan Yu's "low emotional intelligence" would bring some negative effects and even cause some disasters. Therefore, for various considerations, Liu Bei decided to let Liu Chan marry Zhang Fei's daughter, so that he could not only seek a stable and proper position for the future lord Liu Chan, but also form a strong synergy with Zhang Fei, and invisibly suppress the vigorous momentum of Guan Yu's side.
In the past, Liu Guanzhang's 3 brothers broke into the world together, which can be described as living and dying together, working together, and never having two hearts. When Liu Bei established the Shu Han regime, his greatest wish was still to hope that the Liu clan would be eternally solid and the imperial power would be eternally inherited, so it was reasonable for him to selectively ask for a good match for the later lord Liu Chan.
However, according to historical records, Neither Liu Chan nor Empress Zhang left any heirs, which inevitably leads people to believe that Liu Bei and Liu Chan's father and son valued the utilitarian nature of the marriage more than whether Liu Chan had real marital happiness to speak of.
