In 234 AD, after three years of armaments, Zhuge Liang prepared for the Fifth Northern Expedition. He was full of confidence in the Northern Expedition, because he thought of a way to solve the shortage of grain and could continue to confront Sima Yi for a long time. However, before Zhuge Liang set out on the expedition, a major case occurred in the DPRK, that is, liu Yan, a general second only to him, was beheaded and shown to the public. Why? It turned out that Liu Chan had originally slapped his wife's face with his shoes, and he also put her off and drove her out of the house, wanting to know more, and listening to this article slowly.
Liu Yan, the character Wei Shuo, followed Liu Bei in Yuzhou and was a standard elder faction. His seniority was much older than Zhuge Liang's, second only to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Such loyal old employees, even if there is no credit, there is hard work. Liu Bei did not have eight major generals like Cao Cao, so he had great trust and attention to Liu Yan, who had the same surname. After he captured Yizhou, he appointed Liu Yan as the Taishou of Guling Commandery.
Liu Bei died of illness in the White Emperor's City, and after the lord Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, Liu Yan went from being a rear general and a Chinese army division to a cheri general. General Che Qi was a senior general second only to the Great General, and it could be seen that Liu Yan was in a high position of authority at this time. In the first month of 234 AD, Liu Yan's wife Hu Shi entered the palace with the family members of other ministers to congratulate the empress dowager on the New Year. The empress dowager and Hu Shi deliberately left Hu Shi and chatted with her, and after a month, they let Hu Shi leave the palace and go home.
After Hu Shi returned home, he originally wanted to make love to her husband Liu Yan and talk about the parting feelings of more than a month, but he was scolded by her husband for splitting his head and covering his face. Hu Shi was suddenly confused, wondering what he had done wrong, and was beaten so badly by his husband. He then questioned her husband Liu Yan, and only then did he learn that her husband thought he had been in the palace for a month, and only then did he return home, suspecting that he was having an affair with the empress dowager Liu Chan. She tried desperately to explain to her husband, but Liu Yan did not listen to the advice and asked the executioner to slap Hu's face with his shoes. After Liu Yan lost his temper, he suspended Hu And drove him out of the house.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms": In the first month of the twelfth year, The Wife Of Yan entered the Empress Dowager Hu, and the Empress Dowager Ordered the Special Hu Clan to come out through the month. The Hu clan had a beautiful color, and Yan suspected that he had an affair with the later lord, and called out five hundred LaoHu to fight with his face, and then abandoned it. Hu Gu told Yan yan, and Yan sat down in prison.
Hu was not jealous either, and she sued Liu Yan with the Shu Han law enforcement department, accusing her husband of "domestic violence." Since this matter involved the later lord Liu Chan and the Shu Han chancellor Liu Yan, Ting Wei did not dare to deal with it without authorization, and reported it to Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan. After Liu Chan listened, because it involved himself, he "couldn't sit still." He was very angry, so he instructed the court lieutenant to arrest Liu Yan and imprison him, and he was interrogated in detail. In the end, the law enforcement department finally ruled as follows: the pawn is not the person who beats the Hu clan, and the face is not the place to bear the shoes (the pawn is not a wife, the face is not a place to be performed).
Liu Yan was cut down according to the law and abandoned the city. In order to avoid the recurrence of similar incidents, Liu Chan announced that the custom of celebrating the entry of the minister's wife into the court was abolished. Then, when Liu Chan heard that Hu Shi was violently beaten by Liu Yan and driven out of his home, why did he "can't sit still". Is he really innocent?
Personally, I think that there should be no ulterior motive between Liu Chan and Hu Shi, but Liu Yan misunderstood, for the following reasons.
First, Liu Yan followed Liu Bei in his early years, similar to Liu Bei's age, when he was already an old man of about sixty years old, and his wife Hu Shi's age should not be small.
Liu Yan is an old man, and even if his wife is not fifty or sixty years old, she will not be a young girl of eighteen years old. Liu Chan successively made Zhang Fei's two daughters empresses, as well as two beauties, Wang Gui and Li Zhaoyi, which was enough. His taste is not so low, looking at the half-old Xu Niang.
Second, although Liu Chan was not an "emperor of the ages", he would not be so faint, even his own minister's wife would not let go.
When Liu Bei died of illness in the White Emperor's City, he gave the 17-year-old Ah Doutuo to Zhuge Liang, the chancellor. Zhuge Liang was a man of high moral character and good personal style. He was very strict with the "discipline" of the later lord Liu Chan, and also stipulated the number of harems for Liu Chan, and Zhuge Liang would advise Liu Chan if he had any out-of-the-ordinary ideas. At this time, Zhuge Liang was still in the middle of the dynasty, and even if Liu Chan was bold, he did not dare to do such a "dirty" thing.
Third, as the emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty, Liu Chan only needed the next holy will, "to take the way."
Therefore, Liu Chan was the man who did not lack beautiful women in Shu Han, he wanted to expand the harem, and after Zhuge Liang's consent, there were countless "show girls" waiting in line. He really didn't need to compete with the chancellor Liu Yan for the Hu clan. If this matter is really related to Liu Chan, Liu Chan will deal with it early and handle it properly, and will not make things bigger. The matter was big, and it was not Liu Yan's face that was lost, but the face of Liu Chan, the emperor of a country.
epilogue
Historically, Liu Yan was a celebrity with no practical skills, who loved the flow of style and was good at talking loudly. He held a high official position, but did not participate in political affairs, and generally followed Zhuge Liang to stand behind and cheer and echo a few words. Liu Yan's biggest shortcoming was that he was paranoid and aggressive, and in 232 he had a quarrel with the general Wei Yan and was reprimanded by Zhuge Liang. Now, Liu Yan still has no remorse, and he has unwarranted suspicion that his wife Hu Shi and Emperor Liu Chan are having an affair, and finally take matters into his own hands.
After Liu Chan heard the report from his subordinates, he "couldn't sit still" at that time, and he was also extremely disappointed in this exaggerated uncle Liu Yan, so he was sentenced to capital punishment. Zhuge Liang did not intercede for Liu Yan because of the imminent departure.
