For the name "Liu Adou", everyone is very familiar with it, he is Liu Chan, the descendant of the Shu Kingdom at the time of the Three Kingdoms. Liu Adou's popularity is very high in China, and idioms, colloquialisms and post-break sayings include "Happy not to think of Shu", "Liu Adou who can't afford to support", and so on. But these words are all derogatory words, almost becoming synonymous with "no ambitions", "nest waste", and "fainting emperor".
In fact, such a discussion and characterization was very unfair to Liu Chan, although it was not as great as the great talent of the Qin Emperor Han Wu, but he could also be called a benevolent and enlightened sage.
However, today we will not talk about Liu Chan's historical merits and faults, but about his seven sons. Because the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" only talks about the unification of the world, for Liu Chan's descendants, it is basically a brush stroke. Therefore, the author will re-pick it out and tell you about it.
The first is the eldest son: Liu Xuan
Liu Xuan, born in the second year of Jianxing (224), was made crown prince by his father Liu Chan in the first year of Yanxi (238). Oh, my God! At the age of 15, he became a prince. Sure enough, ancient times were already an era of spelling daddies! Why did Liu Chan make Liu Xuan crown prince? First, Liu Xuan was born early, and second, from ancient times to the present, it is a very normal thing for his son to inherit the throne and elect a prince as the vice-monarch of the dynasty, so that he can carry forward the divine power of the great ancestors!
Helplessly, this person did not have a big deed, can be called the representative of Liu Chan, that is timid and cowardly, but also does not learn no skills, more greedy, especially like to ride a horse and shoot arrows.
And when Deng Ai's army attacked in front of him, his father was ready to surrender, and this prince had no opinion, so he threw it. However, after the enemy army attacked Chengdu, Jiang Wei wanted to stir up dissension and prepared to borrow Zhong Hui's army to retake Shu Han in one fell swoop. Although Deng Ai and Zhong would be brutally killed, the two armies would then kill each other, and at the same time take the opportunity to plunder Chengdu, killing each other. It was at this time that he was slashed and killed in the midst of the rebel army, and it is estimated that the whole family was also killed.
Old Five: Liu Chen
The most tragic of Liu Chan's sons was Liu Chen. Liu Chen was Liu Bei's fifth son and was given the title of King of the Northern Lands. When Liu Chan surrendered to the Wei general Deng Ai, Liu Chen resolutely opposed it, asking to defend the city to fight to the death, and was not heeded, and the distraught Liu Chen urged his father Liu Chan to stick to the city in order to wait for Jiang Wei's reinforcements, and perhaps a glimmer of hope. This Ah Dou, who was thrown in front of a horse by his father Liu Beizuo near the Nagasaka Bridge and caused the mentally retarded, may have been in retaliation for his father's irresponsible fall that year, and irresponsibly insisted on throwing Jiangshan as well.
The fifth elder was the strongest of Liu Chan's sons. After hearing his father surrender, he committed suicide in front of his grandfather Liu Bei's spiritual seat. Later, the people of Shudi thought he was not bad, and in Liu Bei's temple, they made a statue of him.
Second son: Liu Yao, fourth son: Liu Zhan, sixth son: Liu Ke, seventh son: Liu Qian
Liu Chan's four sons all followed him to the Jin Dynasty. After arriving in the Jin Dynasty, they all had their own divisions, and in 311 AD, this series of things that happened when Luoyang was invaded by foreign tribes and Emperor Huai was captured, which was the "Yongjia Rebellion" in history, because it was the fifth year of Yongjia at that time, so it was called so in history.
This incident made the strength of the Jin state empty. Later, they encountered the Southern Invasion of the Xiongnu, and the Jin State was beaten to the south. Liu Chan's sons also died in the war.
Old Three: Liu Chun
Before Liu Chan could surrender, he died. Therefore, he did not mix with the later things.
