Intrigue and loyalty: revealing Zhuge Liang's "self-defense" drama
It is said that Liu Bei is in the White Emperor City, and the sentence "you can take it yourself" can be described as a major "unsolved case" in history. At first glance, it seems that Liu Bei is playing truth or dare with Zhuge Liang, if you can do it, you can take this country!
was so frightened that Zhuge Liang immediately had a lot of snot and tears, saying that he must have done his best and died. This picture is simply more exciting than any historical drama.
However, then again, what did Liu Bei mean by this? Did he really want to be virtuous, or did he test Zhuge Liang's loyalty? Or did he want to take this opportunity to give Zhuge Liang the hat of a "powerful minister"?
The twists and turns in this are only clear to the parties themselves.
However, what we can be sure of is that as soon as this sentence came out, Zhuge Liang's life was not easy.

No, this is called stabilizing the overall situation!
After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang can be said to be the pillar of the Shu Han regime. He not only had to govern the country and develop the economy, but also lead troops to fight.
Such a lot of things are pressed on the head, and if it were someone else, it would have collapsed a long time ago. But Zhuge Liang managed to hold on, and he did a good job.
At this time, some people began to mutter: Is Zhuge Liang dictatorial? With so much power in his hands alone, isn't he afraid that Liu Chan will have opinions?
Hehe, this is going to talk about Zhuge Liang's wisdom. He knew that Liu Chan's ability was limited, and if the power was handed over to him, then Shu Han would really become "a plate of loose sand".
Therefore, he simply came to a "prime minister's dictatorship" and took all the power in his own hands. In this way, it can not only ensure the stability of the Shu Han regime, but also avoid civil strife. I have to say that Zhuge Liang's trick is really clever!

Bringing a soldier to the court? In fact, it is a "bodyguard group"!
As a powerful minister, Zhuge Liang knew that he was in danger. He not only has to guard against the villains in the court, but also against the invasion of foreign enemies. So he thought of a way: take the armor to the court!
As soon as the news came out, it caused an immediate sensation. People have speculated: Is Zhuge Liang going to rebel? How dare he lead troops to the court?
Actually, everyone thinks about it too much. Zhuge Liang led the armor soldiers to the court not to show off force or seek personal gain, but to protect his own safety.
If you think about it, Shu Han was in a difficult situation at home and abroad, if Zhuge Liang had any accidents, then Shu Han would really be finished. So he had to bring some bodyguards to keep himself safe. In this way, he will be able to better serve the Shu Han regime!
But then again, the behavior of this armor warrior to the court is indeed a bit "windy". Every time he went to the court, Zhuge Liang walked into the court with a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding spears, and the scene was even more shocking than a Hollywood blockbuster!
It is estimated that Xiao Liu Chan at that time had to tremble with fear when he saw this scene!

The estrangement between the monarch and the minister? In fact, it is a small fight!
Although Liu Bei's sentence "you can take it for yourself" brought glory and power to Zhuge Liang, it also brought him a lot of trouble. One of the most troublesome is the relationship with Liu Chan.
Although Liu Chan relies on Zhuge Liang very much, he is inevitably a little jealous in his heart, after all, Zhuge Liang has great power, if he really wants to rebel, then he will become a "light pole commander".
This kind of suspicion and estrangement between monarchs and ministers is not uncommon in history, but it is relatively rare to be as blatant as Shu Han.
But then again, this kind of small estrangement did not have much impact on the stability of the Shu Han regime.
Because Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan are both smart people, they both know what their goal is and how to achieve it.
So this kind of estrangement is at most a subtle relationship between them, and it will not have much impact on the overall situation.
And ah, we also have to understand Liu Chan's mood. As an emperor, he was controlled by a minister all day long, and he was inevitably a little uncomfortable.
It's like when you were a kid and your parents were in charge, and even though you knew they were doing it for your good, you still wanted to sneak out and have fun. Therefore, Liu Chan's jealousy of Zhuge Liang is also understandable!

Prudence is a lifelong shame
Looking back on Zhuge Liang's life, it is not difficult for us to find that he is an extremely cautious person. He has shown great vigilance and foresight in both political decision-making and personal safety.
He led the soldiers to the court not to show off his strength, but to ensure his own safety; his dictatorship was not for personal gain, but to ensure the stability of the Shu Han regime;
He did his best and died not to be praised by others, but because he was well aware of his responsibility and mission. How could such a cautious, loyal, and responsible person do something sorry for Shu Han and Liu Bei?
So, let's stop dwelling on the phrase "you can take it yourself". No matter what Liu Bei thought at the time, at least Zhuge Liang proved his loyalty and wisdom with his actions.
Throughout his life, he worked hard for the stability and prosperity of the Shu Han regime, and remained sober and firm even in the face of personal safety and the temptation of power. This kind of wisdom and quality is the precious wealth that we should learn Xi and pass on!
