In the impression of most people, Liu Chan's "unsupportable Ah Dou" is real. He was born in the imperial family, was regarded as a foster, but did not have the talent of the emperor, even became a prisoner of the order is still happy, a sentence: "Here is happy, do not think about Shu" makes him completely become the representative of the millennium "no life".
However, most people know Liu Chan completely through a copy of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms; but no matter how bloody and famous the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is, it is essentially just a novel, not only with the author's subjective preferences and assumptions, but also many descriptions do not conform to historical facts. And have you ever thought that if Liu Chan is really a useless person, in the fierce competition of the imperial family, can he sit firmly in the position of prince?
In order to prevent Cao Zhi from robbing him of his power, Cao Pi plotted against Cao Zhi everywhere, and let Cao Zhi compose poems in seven steps, which eventually became a famous sentence: "Originally born from the same root, he was too anxious to fry each other." Could it be that only Cao Wei had a conspiracy to fight, and the Shu Han imperial family was peaceful? This is obviously not possible.
Moreover, if we carefully analyze the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, we will find that the angle of this book is slightly biased towards the Shu Army, after all, China's feudal society was deeply influenced by Confucianism, and the author Luo Guanzhong who lived in that era was still more recognized by The Orthodox Emperor Liu.
But then again, there is a detail in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that everyone does not know whether everyone has noticed, this detail let Zhuge Liang finally know that Liu Chan has always been pretending to be stupid, and we can spy a few real historical figures through this detail. Things have to start with the Northern Expedition.
Zhuge Liang, who was in poor health at that time, felt that he had reached the time when the oil ran out, so he decided to carry out the last Northern Expedition, and became a ren without success.
In the course of the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang deliberately let the grain and grass of the Shu army be robbed by the Wei army, making the Wei army think that he had strangled the lifeblood of the Shu army. But all this was in Zhuge Liang's grasp, specifically for Sima Yi's son Sima Zhao (that is, the "Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone") young and vigorous mentality of wanting to make meritorious service.
Sure enough, the impatient Sima Zhao gathered six thousand soldiers to kill the Shu army's lair, but was ambushed by the Shu army waiting for labor, and suffered heavy losses. Sima Yi, who was concerned about his son, did not care about any tactics, and directly led a large number of troops to attack the mountain, which was right in the middle of Zhuge Liang's arms, he ignited the flammable materials such as grain and grass that he had prepared long ago, and suddenly the fire burned for thousands of miles, and Cao Wei was in danger.
Just when Zhuge Liang thought he could help the Shu army unify the world, it suddenly rained. The rain grew stronger and heavier, extinguishing the fire and also extinguishing the fire of revival in Zhuge Liang's heart. He sighed at the sky, "Heaven is going to kill me, and heaven will not help me!" Then he vomited blood and was helped back into the tent, and Wei Jun took advantage of the fire to become smaller and quickly ran.
Zhuge Liang knew that he could no longer unify the Central Plains in his lifetime, so he wrote to Liu Chan to request the withdrawal of his troops. A few days later, Liu Chan's reply arrived, agreeing to Zhuge Liang's request to withdraw his troops and caring about Zhuge Liang's physical condition. Finally, he asked a sentence, which made Zhuge Liang suddenly realize that Liu Chan had actually been pretending to be stupid, and he asked: "When the minister retreats behind the scenes, should the young minister preside over the overall situation?" ”
Seeing this sentence, Zhuge Liang understood that Liu Chan was actually not as incompetent as everyone thought, he hid it really deeply, and the meaning of saying this was that he wanted to take his power back. When Zhuge Liang was there, forced by his prestige, Liu Chan would certainly not directly return this right; on the other hand, although Zhuge Liang was bent on Shu Han, Liu Chan did not particularly trust Zhuge Liang's son, so he wanted to take back power.
In order to save the child, Zhuge Liang wrote back: "There are still a few acres of mulberry fields in the family, enough for the needs of dogs, and after I die, Jiang Huan will preside over the overall situation." Jiang Huan was a civilian official, so the power of the army was equivalent to directly returning to Liu Chan's hands.
Seeing this, I hope that everyone will have a little change in Liu Chan's ideas, in fact, the people who were born in the imperial family and can finally sit on the throne are not simple roles, and Liu Chan was diligent and studious when he was a child, sensitive and good-thinking, and it is not at all as bad as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms wrote.
