If you have seen the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" novel or TV series readers, you will definitely be deeply impressed by Liu Bei's personality, compared to Cao Cao's "adulterous male" identity, Liu Bei has always appeared in front of everyone with a sad and benevolent image.
The critically ill Tao Qian repeatedly resigned, Liu Bei reluctantly took Xuzhou from his hands, and later Liu Biao also made many humble concessions, Liu Bei also refused the invitation to succeed Jingzhou, even if he was enterprising Xichuan, Liu Bei was unwilling to follow Pang Tong's advice and kill Liu Zhang of Yizhou.
It is precisely because of this that his personality charm is so outstanding, even if he has been defeated repeatedly, he can still make Zhao Yun Zhuge Liang and others follow with a dead heart, and even let the hunter Liu An willingly kill his wife for meat and entertain him.
Objectively speaking, Liu Bei's ability to succeed is inseparable from his reasons for dealing with the world, but is Liu Bei really just a "white lotus" who can only cry and cry and ask Zhuge Liang "what if it is"? Of course, the answer is also no, people with no great ambitions cannot sit in Jingyi Erzhou, and Luo Guanzhong's book also hides an interesting point: How big is Liu Bei's ambition? Read the names of his four sons together to know.
Liu Bei's eldest son, Liu Feng, was an orphan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, raised by his uncle Liu Bi and adopted by Liu Bei as an adopted son in Changsha County. Liu Feng fought Against Xiao Yong, but because he refused to rescue Guan Yunchang during the Battle of Jingzhou, he lost Shangyong and was eventually executed by Liu Bei.
Liu Bei's second son, Liu Chan, was born in Jingzhou, followed Liu Bei in his tracks, and was crowned crown prince after the establishment of the Shu Han Dynasty.
Liu Bei's three sons and fourth son, Liu Yong Liu Li, whose date of birth is not detailed, were created King of Lu and King of Liang around 215, and were able to spend their old age in peace.
The names of the four sons are connected, which is "Fengchan Yongli", and the corresponding "Fengchan" refers to the great ceremony held by the ancient Chinese emperors during the Taiping Dynasty to sacrifice heaven and earth, as early as the Xia Shang Zhou period, the emperors of the past already had the legend of fengchan.
The word "Yongli" is also very easy to understand, symbolizing the eternal rule of the imperial power, so with these 4 words, some people believe that Luo Guanzhong wants to reflect Liu Bei's imperial ambitions.
However, some people have also raised objections, first of all, the adopted son Liu Feng, the historical record that he is the son of the Kou surname, named "Kou Feng", that is to say, as early as Liu Bei, the name has been taken well, and Ah Dou was born in Jingzhou in 207, whether Liu Bei adopted Kou Feng's adopted son before or after, it is not known, but the combination of "Feng Zen" should be regarded as a coincidence.
Moreover, Liu Yong and Liu Li, who are older and who are younger, are also a fog, and judging Liu Bei's ambitions by "Sealing Zen Yongli" seems a bit too far-fetched. As for this, it is still up to future generations to comment.
However, it is not difficult to see that Liu Bei has always longed to be able to do a career, just as recorded in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei was attached to Liu Biao, lived in Jingzhou for many years, but found that he had extra flesh protruding from both sides of his thighs, so he sighed and shed tears, Liu Bei asked the reason after seeing it, Liu Bei replied: "Time flies, people are about to enter old age, but they have not been able to make meritorious achievements, so they feel sad." ”
There is no doubt that Liu Bei's prestige, although it has the blessing of the novel, but also his own ability and personality, have vital news, which can make Liu Bei one of the most favorite historical figures today, Luo Guanzhong and Chen Shou's "ancestor lord".
