After Liu Beibai's white city was entrusted, Zhuge Liang became the most important reliance on Liu Chan to stabilize the throne and govern the country, Zhuge Liang did not live up to Liu Bei's expectations of him, and for 11 years in power, he always bowed down and died, ensuring the stable development of Shu Han in the face of serious lack of strength.
After Zhuge Liang's death, Liu Chan lost his dependence and could only face the next life by himself, that is, at this critical moment, Liu Chan killed three Shu Han heavy ministers, and many people wondered about this, why did Liu Chan continue to kill three heavy ministers after he had already lost Zhuge Liang's humerus ministers?
Which three important ministers did Liu Chan kill?
After Zhuge Liang's death, Liu Chan was the first to kill Li Mi, when Li Mi went to find Liu Chan at the first time after Zhuge Liang's death, falsely accusing Zhuge Liang of coveting power and playing with power during his lifetime, which angered Liu Chan and was directly killed by Liu Chan. Purely from the process of Liu Chan killing Li Mi, perhaps we can't see anything deeper, and if we want to find out about Li Mi's death, we need to analyze it in combination with his life deeds.
Li Mi's family power was very large in the Yizhou area, at first they were loyal to Liu Zhang, and then Liu Zhang was defeated by Liu Bei, after Liu Bei captured Yizhou, Li Mi's family turned to support Liu Bei, in view of the influence of Li Mi's family in Yizhou at that time, Liu Bei used them regardless of the previous suspicions, and as a result, Li Mi seemed to be very dissatisfied with Liu Bei, and often said that Liu Bei's seizure of Yizhou was unjust, if it were not for Liu Bei's influence in Yizhou, He might have directly killed Li Mi at that time.
Because at the beginning Li Mi offended Liu Bei, so although Liu Bei left him a small life for the overall situation, he never reused Li Mi again, until Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition lacked talent to use, Liu Bei began to appoint Li Mi, let him serve as a minister to join the army and the general of An Han, these positions were also quite important at that time, it is reasonable to say that Li Mi after holding these positions, can also be regarded as a Shu Han heavy minister, but then his operation, let people directly call him dead.
During the First Northern Expedition, Ma Mo lost the street kiosk because he did not listen to Zhuge Liang's arrangement, resulting in the Failure of the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang was quite disappointed in Ma Mo and wanted to punish him, but Li Mi stood up everywhere to defend Ma Mo, and also said a lot of bad things about Zhuge Liang, and was finally sent directly to Chengdu by Zhuge Liang.
After going to Chengdu, Li Mi has not been reused, and after Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang came to power, and he did not reuse Li Mi, that is, because of these things, Li Mi has always held a grudge against Zhuge Liang, and after Zhuge Liang's death, he will directly go to falsely accuse Zhuge Liang, he thought that Liu Chan would be as narrow-minded as himself and hate Zhuge Liang, who had thought that he would be a villain who thought of the belly of a gentleman, bumped into Liu Chan's gun, and was directly executed by Liu Chan.
The second important minister killed by Liu Chan was Liu Yan, Liu Yan was considered a senior figure of Shu Han, who had followed Liu Bei before Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, he had the noble blood of the Han Dynasty clan, and his appeal was very strong in Liu Bei's ranks, and Liu Bei also admired him very much, but Liu Yan was born with a character defect, usually too arrogant, and treated others very harshly, although his ability was very strong, but in the face of serious character defects, his ability was completely worthless.
After Liu Chan ascended the throne, he appointed Liu Yan as a che riding general, which was a considerable high status, and at the beginning of the stage, Liu Yan was still relatively restrained, and made some achievements for the great cause of Shu Han, such as Li Yan in Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition Center after he made some mistakes, or Liu Yan took the lead in impeaching Li Yan, and finally Liu Chan punished him.
With the gradual increase of his power and status, Liu Yan's own personality defects were more exposed at a glance, for example, during Zhuge Liang's Fifth Northern Expedition, Liu Yan often made unreasonable trouble because he was not accustomed to Wei Yan, which made Zhuge Liang very embarrassed, and eventually sent him back to Chengdu.
As a result, Liu Yan soon made another thing, which directly led to his own loss of life, which was a scandal and was also fabricated by Liu Yan out of nothing. Liu Yan had a graceful and colorful wife, Hu Shi, who had a good relationship with Empress Wu, and when she congratulated Empress Wu on the New Year, she was retained by Empress Wu and stayed in the palace for a month, and as a result, after returning home, Liu Yan began to make a big fuss.
Liu Yan framed Hu Shi for having a leg with Liu Chan in the palace, this kind of thing Hu Clan of course could not stand, so he went directly to the palace to tell Liu Chan, Liu Chan was angry after hearing about it, and he wanted to kill Liu Yan at that time, but because of Zhuge Liang's obstruction, he did not move Liu Yan for the time being, and waited until zhuge Liang died, Liu Chan only made time to continue to deal with this matter, and there was no doubt that Liu Yan was going to be executed by Liu Chan.
The third person Liu Chan killed was Yang Yi, about Yang Yi, I don't need to say more, many people are also familiar with the heart, in the late Shu Han infighting, Yang Yi can be regarded as the originator of the mountain, he has always been dissatisfied with Wei Yan, Zhuge Liang can still restrain the two when he was alive, and when Zhuge Liang just died, Yang Yi began to fight with Wei Yan, and finally even with his own high status, directly killed Wei Yan, Liu Chan was already quite dissatisfied with this matter, and brought it back to Chengdu.
After returning to Chengdu, Yang Yi still dreamed that he could become Zhuge Liang's successor, after Liu Chan appointed Jiang Huan as Zhuge Liang's successor, Yang Yi was very disappointed, often insulting Jiang Yi on various occasions, at first Jiang Yi was not serious with Yang Yi, until one time Yang Yi said that he regretted not joining the Cao Wei camp, which attracted Jiang Wan's attention, Jiang Huan told Liu Chan these words unchanged, after listening, all the dissatisfaction in Liu Chan's heart broke out together and directly executed Yang Yi.
Why did Liu Chan kill the three of them?
Through the above rough description of the killing process of the three people, I think we have basically understood the superficial reasons why Liu Chan killed the three people, on the comprehensive performance of the three of them and the act of death, replaced by the other emperors, it is estimated that they were killed long ago, Liu Chan has always been hindered by Zhuge Liang's admonition to not kill them, as a result, after Zhuge Liang's death, they still want to make waves, Liu Chan will not kill them again, will they still have to stay for the New Year?
From this point of view, the killing of the three people is completely self-inflicted, but if Liu Chan killed them for such a simple reason, presumably Liu Chan would not have specifically chosen to kill them when Zhuge Liang just died, and the reason why Liu Chan chose to kill the three people at this point in time actually has a more profound significance.
When Zhuge Liang was alive, he was Liu Chan's greatest reliance, Liu Chan did not need to worry about anything, full authority to Zhuge Liang to manage, as a result, now that Zhuge Liang has died, Liu Chan can no longer find someone worthy of all trust, the future road, Liu Chan must go on alone, at this critical moment, if he does not do something special, how can he stabilize the minister of the DPRK?
That is, in this special historical background, Liu Chan first killed Li Mi, who framed Zhuge Liang, so that he could once again affirm Zhuge Liang's merits and let those with ulterior motives stop their bad thoughts, on the other hand, they could also get the strong support of the group of people who supported Zhuge Liang before.
As for killing Liu Yan and Yang Yi, in addition to the death of the two of them, what is more important is that they are in a high position, Liu Chan needs to kill two such people to deter the rest of the powerful ministers, so that they will keep a low profile in the future, only after killing the chicken and the monkey, Liu Chan can seize the power of Shu Han and continue to govern Shu Han, otherwise I am afraid that Shu Han will instantly become a pot of porridge after Zhuge Liang's death.
epilogue
Judging from Liu Chan's performance at the time of Zhuge Liang's death, we will find that Liu Chan is still very politically talented, but unfortunately, his talent did not continue to be maintained, and later he gradually became dimwitted, which finally led to Shu Han being destroyed by Sima Zhao in infighting.
