"Can't afford to support Adou" is a common phrase used by elders when educating their juniors. People who know the history of the Three Kingdoms probably know that Liu Chan is a "second ancestor" who is "useless", and even Liu Chan shown in film and television dramas is also a fat-headed, big-eared, no opinionated wine bag rice bag.
In addition, because the Shu kingdom that the people wanted was destroyed in his hands, the people of later generations also cursed Liu Chan. But is Liu Chan really as stupid as described in Romance of the Three Kingdoms? If you think about it, all the reason why the common people buried Ah Dou is because of Liu Chan's famous words: "Enjoy here, don't think about Shu." However, this sentence does not prove that he is "stupid", but only proves that he has indeed been smoothed out by reality and has no ambition to dominate the world. Moreover, Liu Chan's words saved everyone in the Liu family at that time, and all the clan members enjoyed the rest of their lives with him.
If it is said that "Le Bu Si Shu" is just a coincidence, everyone does not believe it, and the suspicious Sima Zhao did not believe it at that time, and after Liu Chan was named "Anle Gong", he repeatedly tried to do so, and finally decided to leave Liu Chan's life. Allowing Sima Zhao to test it many times shows that everyone knows that Liu Chan himself is actually not stupid, and has the talent of an emperor. As we all know, Liu Chan's journey as a king was quite bumpy. When he was young, his father Liu Bei never took him with him when he was dividing the world with the Qunxiong and let him experience any war. Of course, there is still the "only" time, in 208 AD, after the 1-year-old Ah Dou was rescued by Zhao Yun, his father fell on the spot to buy people's hearts, but this is another story.
Liu Chan only began to study the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of 14, that is, in 221 AD. However, Liu Chan grew up very quickly with the assistance of talented people, and in the early period of his reign, the Shu state developed quite well, and his literary talent was also recognized. Although most of his radiance was obscured by the Wenchen warriors around him, just by looking at the title he bestowed on the Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Kingdom, it can be seen that he also has the same heart of contention as Liu Bei. Liu Chan gave Guan Yu the nickname "Zhuang Miao", "Zhuang" as the name suggests is Xiao Yong Gangwu, and "Miao" here means regret. Guan Yu alone could withstand a thousand troops, but unfortunately he finally lost Maicheng and died on the battlefield, failing to exert his full strength and failing to do so. This was enough to prove that Liu Chan saw Guan Yu very thoroughly.
The title of "Shunping" was indeed ordinary for the great general Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun's reputation in the Shu army was indeed tepid compared to other generals, but he must be an extremely stable and reliable person, and he also had the grace of reconstruction for Liu Chan. "Shun" means being able to take charge of good affairs internally, and "Ping" is the attack on external energy, which is enough to see Liu Chan's recognition of Zhao Yun. Zhang Fei's nickname is "Huan", which means to open up territory and expand the territory, and he is mighty, but Liu Chan also implies that Zhang Fei's temperament is impatient and not calm enough. However, Liu Chan's Empress Zhang was Zhang Fei's daughter, and Liu Chan would not "blatantly" criticize his father-in-law, but vaguely mentioning it was also his own careful thinking.
And Ma Chao's nickname "Wei" and Huang Zhong's nickname "Gang" both mean strong and courageous, and these nicknames are enough to prove that Liu Chan knows his subordinates deeply. However, the State of Shu had gradually weakened after Zhuge Liang's death in 234, and because Fei Yi and Jiang Huan were present, Liu Chan had no way to pro-government, and finally he also recognized the situation and gradually gave up the heart of a strong country. Liu Chan's credulous belief in the rumors of the eunuch Huang Hao caused the shu state's strength to decline sharply. However, even when Zhuge Liang was alive, the Northern Expedition was never successful, let alone Liu Chan's generation. Moreover, in the later period, "there is no general in the Shu Kingdom, and Liao Hua is the vanguard" everyone knows. Perhaps Liu Chan had already seen the "fateful situation" of the Shu Kingdom and had no choice but to "enjoy" himself.
