Art comes from life and is higher than life. As one of the four famous works of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I believe that everyone has heard of it, and it is also loved by everyone, in the pen of teacher Luo Guanzhong, we know the brotherhood of Liu Guanzhang, the aquatic heat of the people in the chaotic world, and the heroes under the war. Of course, the protagonist of this article is a figure with very important existential significance in the Three Kingdoms, a figure who promotes the overall development.
01
As the saying goes: "How big the heart is, how big the stage is", with the world falling apart, everyone wants to be able to unify the world and climb the nine peaks, but in the end there are only three people left, these three people are also familiar to everyone, namely "Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Liu Bei".
Cao Cao's title of Tyrant is clear to everyone, here we have a detail to pay attention to, in fact, the historical Cao Cao can really be regarded as a great talent who can write and fight, but also loves the people, but Cao Cao in the novel brings people a negative phenomenon, originating from Luo Guanzhong's teacher "pro-Liu" thought.
Cao Cao experienced countless storms and waves in his life, not only defeated the strongest overlord Yuan Shao, but also lost to the weak" Sun Liu lian, but you can still clearly know how huge his ambition is, the southern conquest of the northern war, all his life want to unify the world, this is also recognized by everyone as "Cao Cao image", but our protagonist today is bigger than his ambition.
Sun Quan had cowered in Jiangdong all his life, and had never set foot in the Central Plains, of course, it would not be him. So, who is this person—Liu Bei.
Liu Bei can be regarded as a full grassroots player, the initial "straw shoe sales director" to the final Shu Han "emperor", in a chaotic world, there is no huge family support, relying on their own ability, the bitterness in the middle can be imagined. Although the first half of his life was extremely ordinary, his ambitions have always existed, and if his ambitions are not great, it is impossible to have the later era of the Founding of the Three Kingdoms.

Where can Liu Bei's ambitions be seen to be the biggest one?
As we all know, when he first started his business, Liu Bei was not famous, and he was a major general and a widow, but he was good at touting and pulling relations, and when he saw people, he said: "I am the queen of Zhongshan Jing."
In fact, a careful study will find that he is indeed the queen of the royal family, but he is already the kind of side branches that the eight rods can't beat, if he doesn't say it himself, maybe no one in this life knows about it, and the slogan of the fight is also in line with the people's hearts at that time: "Hoe the traitor and suppress the thief, Kuang fu Han Room", the decline of the Han Room gave him a very good step, so he also began to fight for his own place in this world dispute.
In addition to these basic deeds, he had another thing that made people know his ambition at a glance, and his four sons were named: Liu Feng, Liu Chan, Liu Yong, and Liu Li. Liu Feng was still full of fame in the Three Kingdoms, and when Liu Bei was still very weak, he chose to join, and his achievements were innumerable, just when Liu Bei was in middle age and had no heirs, he recognized him as a righteous son.
The second is the well-known Liu Chan, who has mixed opinions about Liu Chan, some people say that he actually understands everything, but he is really not suitable to be an emperor, or he is a low-energy child. Of course, these are the comments of posterity and cannot be verified, but he has not realized his father's grand ambitions and has also surrendered the last hope of the Han Dynasty.
As for the last Liu Yong and Liu Li, everyone may not have heard of it, Liu Yong was thrown by Liu Chan to become the king in a remote area, Liu Li also died early, there are too many remarkable people in the Three Kingdoms, the two of them have no significant merits, naturally they are not valued.
03
Returning to the original question, Liu Bei's ambition can be seen from the names of his 4 sons? It may seem like there is nothing special about it, but if you look at it together, the meaning is extraordinary, "Sealing Zen Eternal Reason".
Maybe everyone may not understand the "sealing Zen", here to explain to you: sacrifice heaven and earth, in ancient times, only the emperor could do this kind of thing, if others violated it, it would be called rebellion. "Yongli" is exactly what it means, that is, to rule the world forever and carry out hereditary management, so that Liu Bei's ambitions can be seen at a glance.
epilogue
Liu Bei's life seems to be helping Han, full of benevolence and righteousness, in fact, his inner thought is that he is the lord of the world, you know, when Liu Xie still existed, Liu Bei had already ascended the throne, from a commoner to an emperor, if his ambition is not big enough, he will definitely not do so many things. But in other words, in the chaotic world of the Three Kingdoms, everyone wants to seize the opportunity to give themselves a beautiful blue sky, and it is not surprising that they have such ambitions, not to mention that Sun Quan and Cao Cao were like this at that time, but Liu Bei's ambitions were at the forefront and the largest.
