In February of the twelfth year of Shu Han Jianxing, the streets of Chengdu were bustling with melon-eating people. Everyone gathered together not to celebrate the arrival of the New Year, but to watch a prisoner being executed and witness the last moments of his life. The death penalty was imposed by Liu Chan, the supreme ruler of the Shu Han Dynasty, and the executed was executed by liu Yan, the general of the Che Dynasty.
Liu Yan was a veteran of the Shu Han clique. When Liu Bei failed to start a business and planted vegetables in Xu Du's self-reserved land, Liu Yan came to him. When we first met, Liu Bei thought that this young man looked quite temperamental, could speak the Tao, and everyone was surnamed Liu, five hundred years ago it was a family, so he gave him a compilation and hired him as his assistant. A few years later, Liu Bei finally captured the territory of Yizhou, and Liu Yan was parachuted from the leader to Guling as a Taishou and was responsible for the military and political affairs of the entire Guling. After Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, Liu Yan was transferred back to the central government as a cheqi general, ranking second only to Zhuge Liang and Li Yan, and his life reached its peak.
Liu Yan is in a high position, but he is a typical representative of the "Four Winds Problem". Don't ask anything about work, at most, follow Zhuge Liang's ass and brag, and your amateur life can be said to be colorful. General Liu likes to talk about pomp and circumstance, the vehicles to travel should be the best, the clothes to wear should not be the best, as long as the most expensive, the government has raised dozens of young and beautiful little sisters, each one can sing and dance, and the poetry and song are all known, and they can also recite such literary masterpieces as "Lu Ling Guang Dian Fu". After all, many people are doing this, but his colleague relationship is not handled badly, and he and Wei Yan, another big man in the DPRK, are quite stiff. Liu Yan, who had a hot head, was overly aggressive in his speech, said something he should not have said, and was severely criticized by Zhuge Liang, although he was not demoted, he also lost his position.
Although Liu Yan was not ambitious at work, his life was still quite good, and he guarded his wife and a group of maids like flowers, and his little life was enjoyable. In the first month of the twelfth year of Jianxing, the new year has begun again. According to the custom, the ministers were to pay tribute to the emperor, and the ladies had to enter the palace to congratulate the empress dowager and the empress on the New Year, and Liu Yan's wife Hu Shi was among them. Hu Shi was very beautiful and could speak well, and the empress dowager liked her very much, so she left her alone after Asahina and stayed for more than a month. At this moment, Liu Yan couldn't sit still at home: this stinky faceless person lived in the palace for such a long time, saying that he was chatting with the empress dowager to relieve his boredom, and he must have got involved with Liu Chan's fool! As soon as the lid of this vinegar altar was lifted, there was a sour smell everywhere, and Liu Yan felt that he had been greatly humiliated, and he did not dare to settle accounts with the emperor, so he could only take his wife out of anger. As soon as Hu Shi returned home, Liu Yan took off his shoes and let his pawns take a fierce squeeze of Hu Shi's five hundred big mouths, and then a piece of Hugh Shu fell on Hu Shi's unbearable face.
Liu Yan was out of breath, but he caused a terrible disaster. Hu Shi was beaten for no reason, and was abandoned by Hugh back to his mother's house, and in a rage, he reported Liu Yan to the imperial court. The later lord Liu Chan was furious: Your boy usually takes money and does not work, and he acts recklessly to see the face of the former emperor, and now he dares to arrange peach-colored news and buckle the pot on Lao Tzu's head, I see that you are alive and tired! Therefore, Liu Chan instructed the relevant departments to seriously and thoroughly investigate this matter and never tolerate it. The relevant departments convicted Liu Yan of two crimes: "A person who is not a wife is not a place to be performed." "First, the wife is yours, you can beat yourself, let the pawn beat is your fault; second, hit people without punching the face, with the soles of smelly shoes to hit the face is even more wrong." Today, neither of these two counts can constitute a killing, but Liu Chan's royal pen waved and approved a bloody big word: Kill! Not only do you have to kill you, but you have to kill you in the downtown area in broad daylight, so that everyone can see your fate, which shows how much Liu Chan hates him.
This peach-colored incident that blew up the circle of friends in the Three Kingdoms did not end with Liu Yan's head landing on the ground, and the streets and alleys still talked about it. In order to avoid the recurrence of similar incidents thereafter, Comrade Liu Chan revised the palace rules, and from now on, the ceremony of celebrating the birthday of women was cancelled, and the family members of any minister were prohibited from entering the palace.
Whether Liu Chan and Hu Shi have a leg in the end, we are difficult to verify, nor do we need to examine, this is just a small tidbit in the Three Kingdoms drama. Liu Yan was killed, the real reason is that he has been in a high position for a long time, and zhuge liang is tired of vomiting blood for major state affairs, but he spends his days drinking and acting recklessly, from emperor Liu Chan down to Wen wu Qunchen, dissatisfaction with him has long been like a pile of dry firewood, this peach-colored incident is just a spark that ignites, otherwise, even if Liu Chan wants to kill him, Zhuge Liang and a group of ministers will not agree. The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" commented: "Looking at its measures, marking its rules, and inviting disasters and taking blame, all of them are themselves." In a word: If you don't do it, you won't die.
