There are two parts of Chinese history that have been talked about. One is the Tang Dynasty, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty
。 There are countless warlords and heroes in the Three Kingdoms, and posterity not only wrote the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but now it is also derived from the games, movies and TV series of the Three Kingdoms.
It can be seen that the audience loves this history, and the story of Liu Bei, the only orthodox heir in the book, is also talked about.
The story of his son Liu Chan is no less than that of his own father. But most of them were negative, and even after Liu Bei's death, Liu Chan made a scandal in the palace because of Empress Wu.
First, the World of the Han Family
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was divided into three parts, and many heroic figures emerged.
As the royal family of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei's life was extremely bleak. At that time, the Eighteenth Route princes were crusading against Dong Zhuo, and Liu Bei brought his brothers to fight, and his identity was still a naked county order.
Later, Cao Cao blackmailed tianzi to order the princes, and Liu Bei even ran east and west without a place to settle down.
Liu Bei was very depressed at that time, and even his own family members could not take care of it, and later Guan Yu rode alone to escort the two wives.
Later, Zhao Yun seven into the seven out of the rescue of the lord, that is, Liu Chan, nicknamed Ah Dou. It can be seen that in such a turbulent and displaced living situation, Liu Bei's subordinates are accompanied by him, and Liu Bei has no time to take care of Liu Chan's growth.
Liu Chan also developed a cowardly and incompetent character, his mother was gone, and his father did not take care of himself too much.
Later, in order to consolidate his rule, Liu Bei decided to marry Sun Quan and married Sun Shangxiang, who had learned martial arts since childhood and was also the sister of Sun Quan of Eastern Wu.
When Liu Chan grew up in such an environment, he naturally became a cowardly person, with a weak personality, liked to be comfortable, and did not seek progress.
Later, Liu Bei died in the White Emperor City, entrusting Zhuge Liang. Let Zhuge Liang help Liu Chan. Liu Chan did not let Zhuge Liang worry, not only for him to go out of Qishan Seven. Also worry about Liu Chan's palace scandal.
Second, the harem scandal
After Liu Chan became emperor, the country was still worried about internal and external troubles, the outside was still three kingdoms, all countries were looking at the tiger, and the internal chaos was continuous.
Later, a scandal broke out, and the worship system in the palace was changed. What the hell is going on? This also starts with Liu Bei's wives.
In the early years, Liu Bei went east and west, although he had the reputation after King Jing of Zhongshan and the royal family of the Han Dynasty, but he had no real power, let alone a fief.
In the early years, only Lady Mi and Lady Gan followed, Lady Gan was Liu Chan's biological mother, and they suffered a lot from following Liu Chan in their early years, and Lady Gan died not long after Liu Bei ascended the throne.
Not long after Lady Gan's death, Liu Bei married Sun Shangxiang and Wu Shi. Later, the Seventh Army was flooded, and Liu Bei died of illness in the White Emperor City, and also died.
Liu Chan became a fatherless and motherless orphan. Although he is an emperor, he still longs for the care of family affection. As a result, the relationship between Liu Chan and Empress Wu was extremely close.
Empress Wu was often alone in the palace, unaccompanied, and Liu Chan often came to see her in order to fulfill her filial piety, but Liu Chan was busy with things and could not stay for a long time, so she thought of a way.
Liu Chan ordered all the family members of imperial court officials to take turns to enter the palace every few days to meet the empress dowager and accompany empress wu to chat.
Chinese had always been interested in filial piety, and Liu Chan's approach just met the moral standards of Chinese, so no one felt inappropriate.
Moreover, being able to move around with the empress dowager was also what the officials hoped, so that they could also have a closer relationship with Liu Chan.
On this day, it was the turn of Liu Yan's family, Liu Yan followed Liu Bei to conquer the world in his early years, and his seniority was also very old, except for Zhuge Liang and Li Yan.
Even Liu Yan's seniority is the oldest. But Liu Yan can be said to be a person who can only talk on paper, and he is strong in the outside world. But after all, he is the oldest in seniority, and he is also arrogant in his daily life.
Liu Yan's wife, Hu Shi, was wen wanxianshu, and on this day Hu shi came to empress wu's palace, and empress Wu saw that Hu shi was dignified and gentle, and she liked it very much.
And Hu Shi is also very pleasant to talk about, although he is an introverted, but he is very knowledgeable in his chest. Many of the things mentioned opened the empress's eyes, so that Empress Wu felt even more late to see each other.
Empress Wu graciously retained the Hu clan to stay for a few more days, and the Hu clan did not dare to resign, staying in the palace for a month, Empress Wu saw hu shi miss the family center cut,
This allowed Hu to go back. Unexpectedly, this chat brought a scandal, and also caused Liu Yan to invite the disaster of killing.
III. Death of Liu Yan
After Hu Shi returned, Liu Yan asked what he had done these days with a straight face, and Hu Shi was also confused in his heart, saying the details of his chat with Empress Wu.
After hearing this, Liu Yan was furious and angrily rebuked Hu For not keeping the way of women, but must have had an affair with Liu Chan and beat Up Hu Badly.
Hu Shi felt aggrieved, after all, Hu Shi was also a lady of everyone, and naturally would not swallow his anger when he was wronged like this, and Hu Shi decided to take her husband to court in a huff
。 When the government received the complaint, it did not dare to make its own decision, and reported it layer by layer, and finally reached Liu Chan's ears. Liu Chan heard Hu's cries and his anger welled up.
How could a courtier wrongfully accuse the emperor? Liu Chan felt that Liu Yan relied on the qualifications of his old ministers and wronged himself, ruining the reputation of the two. So he ordered Liu Yan to be executed, and not only that, but also paraded through the streets to defend the authority of his emperor.
After this incident began, Liu Chan also canceled the ceremony of meeting the empress dowager in the harem.
4. Summary
Although Liu Chan was weak, he was not an emperor who was bullied by others, and it was even more impossible to allow Liu Yan to insult himself, and although Hu Shi entered the palace to meet Empress Wu for a long time,
Liu Yan did not ask the reason clearly, and scolded Hu Shi, if it is other things, it does not matter, the woman and other people have made a big mistake, and it is also a mistake of seven.
In ancient times, women who committed seven transgressions were all divorced, and repudiation of wives was even more important for women, which showed that the fate of women was extremely pitiful.
In addition, liu Yan, although Liu Yan is the oldest, but the imperial power is supreme, many people who think they are senior have not avoided conflicts with the emperor in the end. This was the case with Han Xin at the time of the Chu-Han war.
Liu Bei left half of Liu Chan behind, and Liu Chan did not take good care of it in the end. It was also the first of the three kingdoms to be destroyed
Later, Sima Zhao asked Liu Chan if he missed his country? Liu Chan is even more enjoying the wealth in front of him, and the pleasure of not thinking about Shu makes people sigh.
The Jiangshan laid down by Liu Bei in the past has also been lonely ever since. The many generals and wizards of the Shu state could not save the fact that the Shu state was destroyed first.
If Liu Chan had a little courage and majesty to get rid of the scandal caused by the Hu clan, perhaps the Shu Kingdom could continue for a while, but unfortunately he would never have such an opportunity again.
