After Zhuge Liang's death, why did Liu Chan kill 3 important ministers in a row, and it was 1 year later that he learned of his cleverness
Everyone's impression of Liu Chan may not be very good, thinking that he is a very weak and incompetent monarch, of course, with the development of the Internet, everyone has been exposed to more and more information and knowledge, and the controversy about Liu Chan has also begun to become more, and the main point of these controversies is still focused on whether Liu Chan is smart? Or is it really stupid?
On such a question, in fact, we can see from the form of Liu Chan's rule after Zhuge Liang's death, in the strict sense, Liu Chan is definitely far inferior to the founding prince in history, but as the emperor of Shoucheng, he is still relatively qualified, and he is also relatively successful in politics, which can be seen from the fact that after Zhuge Liang's death, Liu Chan killed 3 important ministers in a row to stabilize his power.
After Zhuge Liang's death, there was actually a vacuum in the power class of the Shu State, and at this time, in order to quickly fill the power gap, there was some turmoil within the Shu State, and in order to stabilize the political situation, Liu Chan killed the first person named Li Miao, which was a typical political opportunist, and he subjectively believed that Liu Chan's heart was dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang, who controlled the government.
So after Zhuge Liang's death, Li Mi set off a negative atmosphere of Zhuge Liang, and Liu Chan saw this, and his heart was also very annoyed, after all, Liu Chan still had feelings for Zhuge Liang, followed by the fact that most of the ministers in the court were promoted by Zhuge Liang, and at this time, the denial of Zhuge Liang caused great turmoil, and finally Liu Chan ordered Li Mi to be killed, thus stabilizing the mood of the ministers of the DPRK and stabilizing his position.
The second and third people that Liu Chan killed were Liu Yan and Yang Yi, respectively, if it is said that killing Li Mi was to stabilize his imperial power, then killing Liu Yan and Yang Yi, Liu Chan was more like showing his authority, of course, the main thing is that these two people have their own way of taking death.
First of all, Liu Yan, his wife went into the palace to ask the empress dowager for peace, stayed for a whole month before returning, so Liu Yan thought that his wife and Liu Chan had a private affair, so they began to publicize everywhere, to know that Liu Yan's status in Shu Han was relatively high, he was an old minister during Liu Bei's period, so publicizing such a thing was a great damage to Liu Chan's image.
According to the records of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, although Liu Chan was a very person, on the whole, it was Zhuge Liang who taught him, so there are also records that he was a very polite person, so it was impossible to have a private affair with Liu Yan's wife, and about Liu Yan, it was said that his character was problematic, so Liu Yan was basically spreading rumors, and Liu Chan also killed him.
Then there is Yang Yi, this person has always been by Zhuge Liang's side, and after Zhuge Liang's death, Yang Yi and Wei Yan fought for power, and finally executed Wei Yan with a plan, in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there are doubts about Wei Yan's rebellion, because this is Yang Yi's one-sided words, so Liu Chan also has some doubts about this.
After returning to Chengdu, he thought that he had made a great contribution to Yang Yi and felt that he could be a minister, but Liu Chan accepted Zhuge Liang's last words and appointed Jiang Huan, which made Yang Yi dissatisfied, and also began to spread rumors, and even scolded Liu Chan, and finally Liu Chan ordered him to be killed.
From these three things, it is not difficult for us to see that Liu Chan still has relatively good means in politics!
