The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
Ever since Xia Yu passed the throne to Qi, Chinese history has begun a new system of imperial succession. The previous system of selecting talents and appointing talents was completely broken, and the subsequent throne began to be passed on in one's own family, in one family and one surname. Later generations were also transmitted according to this model of the Xia Dynasty, but there were exceptions. Liu Bei wanted to give the throne to someone else instead of his own son, so why did he do so? Why did he let Kong Ming take over him?
The first point is that we have to talk about Kong Ming's talents. There was no one in the Three Kingdoms who was more intelligent and resourceful than Kong Ming, as long as kong Ming's wars were almost without exception all won. Although he did not have martial arts, he could not lead his troops into battle to kill the enemy, but he had wisdom, and his wisdom could withstand the thousands of troops and horses of the enemy. As long as there is Kong Ming, the Shu kingdom will not be defeated, let alone finished. Moreover, Kong Ming has been following him for many years, and he has a very careful and comprehensive grasp of the actual situation of the country, and the ministers in the DPRK are also very familiar with him, and Zhuge Liang will certainly be handy in managing the political dispatch of the DPRK. From the perspective of personal talent, Zhuge Liang was undoubtedly the best choice for the heir of the Shu kingdom.
Second, from the perspective of the state, the Shu state at that time had begun to have a downward trend, and a person with courage and wisdom was needed to save the current situation. If he really gave the throne to his children, then the Shu kingdom would surely be defeated. Therefore, Liu Bei chose Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang was the one who turned the tide. The two of them have grown from nothing at the beginning of their establishment to their current careers, and Kong Ming has always accompanied him and followed him. Together with him, he established the Shu Kingdom, and no one was willing to play such a hard-working cause, and no one was willing to let it be destroyed. Therefore, if the country is handed over to Zhuge Liang, then he will definitely do his best to do a good job and let the Shu kingdom develop in a better direction.
Third, his son Liu Adou simply could not afford such a big responsibility. The king of the country needs to have wisdom, responsibility and courage, need to balance the forces of several sides, and need to have his own way of being a king, but his son Liu Adou does not have these necessary conditions. If he passed the throne to his son, then in the near future, there will certainly be someone snatching the throne. In this way, Liu Adou's life may not be guaranteed, and if this is the case, it will not be worth the loss. Not only was the throne not saved, but his son's life was also ruined, and this kind of thing could never happen.
In order to save his son, he had to hand over the throne to someone else in advance and choose other heirs to save Liu Adou. The relationship between Liu Adou and Zhuge Liang is also very close, and Zhuge Liang is Liu Adou's righteous father and teacher. If Zhuge Liang becomes emperor, then his son can still enjoy the glory and wealth and still live the same life as he is now. In order to protect his son and give his son a good future, he chose Zhuge Liang to inherit the position.
Through analysis, we can know that Liu Bei handed over the throne to Zhuge Liang for many reasons, he was not in a hurry, but after careful consideration. This is what a Ming Jun does, his son can't take on this responsibility, then he must find a capable person who can take on this responsibility. If he insisted on pushing the throne to his son, then there would definitely be endless troubles. Liu Bei thought deeply, he was a wise monarch and a good emperor who considered the development of the country. On the national side, he was truly selfless. In fact, he passed the throne to his son, and no one said anything, but for the future of the country, for the development of the Shu country, he was not so selfish, in the face of national affairs, Liu Bei did not mix personal feelings and make decisions, he made a decision cautiously after analyzing and weighing the pros and cons, and his approach made us admire.
