Zhuge Liang's famous passage "Table of Teachers" is very familiar to everyone.
In addition to Liu Bei Liu Chan Zhuge Liang, in the "Table of Renunciation", four people are also mentioned: Guo Youzhi, Fei Yi, Dong Yun, and Xiang Favor.
Guo Youzhi, Fei Yi, and Dong Yun were all in positions such as Shizhong and Shilang at that time.
Only Xiang Yu was a military official, and he was then made the Marquis of Tingdu and appointed as the Governor of Central China.
Why does Zhuge Liang want to promote Xiang Pet? Let's take a look at Xiang Pet's resume.
In the "Table of Renunciation", Xiang Pet is described as "Sexual Behavior Shu Jun, Xiao Chang Military, The Former Emperor called it Neng", so what is the excellent performance of this general Xiang Pet.
In fact, although Xiang Pet was a military position, he did not have a record of being able to get his hands on it. He was the nephew of Xiang Lang, a famous minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, and his most eye-catching performance before was that after the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Zigui in the Shu state of Wu, he preserved the complete structure of his own men and brought his troops back to Shuzhong, which is the source of the "former emperor's name of Yue Neng".
At that time, his position in the Shu army was a tooth gatekeeper, which was a low-ranking officer.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms: A Tooth Gatekeeper when he was the First Lord. The defeat of Zi Gui was completed, and the pet camp was completed.
The Battle of Yiling was the dividing point between the prosperity and decline of the Shu Han Dynasty, and the Shu army suffered heavy losses in this battle, in addition to the loss of a large number of elite soldiers, the more serious loss was the loss of talents.
Ma Liang, Zhang Nan, Feng Xi, Fu Tong, and Cheng Qi were killed, and Huang Quan, Du Lu, and Liu Ning surrendered to Eastern Wu or Cao Wei. In addition, Ma Chao, Liu Ba, and Xu Jing died of illness in the same year, and counting Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's painstakingly accumulated talent reserves were almost swept away.
More seriously, with the loss of Jingzhou, this place that contributed a lot of talent to Liu Bei could no longer be used by Shu Han.
In this case, the promotion of some middle- and low-level officials by the line of fire has become an inevitable operation. Xiang Pet had been praised by Liu Bei and was among those who were promoted.
However, it is obvious that there is not only one person who has been promoted to Xiang Pet, so why does Zhuge Liang specifically mention Xiang Favor's name in the "Table of Renunciation", which depends on his official position.
In the table, Zhuge Liang only said "General Xiang Pet" without mentioning his specific position, at this time, Xiang Favor's position was the Central Governor.
The specific duty of the Governor of the Central Region was to control the Forbidden Army of Su Wei.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Biography of Xiang Lang": (Later Lord) In the first year of Jianxing (223), (Xiang Yu) was the Marquis of Fengduting, later the Governor of The Central Region, and the Guard of Diansu.
After understanding Xiang Pet's position, and then contacting the other three people mentioned in the "Table of Renunciation", I understood Zhuge Liang's painstaking heart.
Guo Youzhi, Fei Yi, and Dong Yun were all officials around Liu Chan, especially Fei Yi, who was an old man of the Jingzhou Group and had stronger abilities, and was an insurance that Zhuge Liang had placed around Liu Chan.
Then, coupled with the command of the Su Wei Forbidden Army, which is also The Xiang Favor promoted by Zhuge Liang, the meaning is very clear.
Contact the whole text of the "Teacher Table", although the name of the full text is called "Teacher Table", it is more appropriate to call it the Table of Counsel.
The table first analyzed the situation at that time, and then entered the main topic,
From "the first emperor started a business and the middle road collapsed" to "then the Han Room of the Long, can be counted and waited for", 408 words were used to persuade Liu Chan to "pro-xianchen, far lesser".
The full text of the teacher's table is only 741 words, and the real report on the division is less than 300 words.
Exhorting Liu Chan is the main purpose of the teacher's table.
In fact, in the name of the teacher, Liu Chan was repeatedly exhorted to inherit the legacy of the ancestor Liu Bei, open a holy listen, reward and punish strictly, and be pro-xian yuanyou in order to complete the great cause of "reviving the Han Room".
It is said that "Zhuge is only cautious in his life", and in the "Table of Renunciation", you can read his personality.
The first is the timing of advice.
The timing of the proposal was before the Northern Expedition. Zhuge Liang is about to lead the army to the expedition, leaving Liu Chan alone in Chengdu, what he will do, Zhuge Liang can not be 100% sure, so before going out, inspire Liu Chan, to inherit his father's legacy, angry and strong. Just like a parent, before going out, he always has to nag a few words to the child who is not a device, lest he cause some trouble.
Of course, for bear children, this kind of advice may not be of any use. So Zhuge Liang also made it clear that Guo Youzhi, Fei Yi, Dong Yun, and Xiang Pet can use these people, and if you have something to do or cause any trouble, find them first, and help you settle the matter.
The second is the way of advice.
Zhuge Liang's way is not simple and rude, but a detour from the side, playing the emotional card, and guiding Liu Chan through the former emperor Liu Bei. We know that for bear children, reasoning is difficult to make sense, and it is often more useful to emotionally impress him.
The depth of love, the depth of responsibility. Zhuge Liang was a courtier, and he wanted to talk about etiquette, and he used the name of a teacher to further exhort Liu Chan, and also arranged for Fei Yi and Xiang Yu to be nannies around to ensure that nothing was wrong.
Wu Hou's courtesy and Confucian moral demeanor are evident in the "Table of Teachers". Caution is not lost, benevolence is full of wisdom, and the heart of fist is clear on paper.
In addition to its literary value, the feelings and wisdom contained in zhuge liang in the text are the most important reasons why it has always been respected.
Wu Hou and Liu Chan got along, courtesy as a monarch and emotionally like father and son. Although Liu Chan was a bear, he did respect Zhuge as a father, and in terms of Zhuge Liang's power, he was already at the pinnacle of perfection, and Liu Chan was not at all wary of him, and did not take Wuhou as an outsider.
This is the highest state of the courtier: the power of the subject is loyal and the king is not doubtful.
The contrast is clearly Sima Yi.
Even in the Book of Jin, Zhuge Liang is highly evaluated:
Reading Zhuge Liang's teachings, he should play the advice and find the end, and zhou Kong's teachings are all in the middle. For the country is enough to bring peace, to stand up is enough to become famous, the quality is slightly easy, the fable is the same, although the words are sent to people, the Taoist teacher is here.
To get such an evaluation from the enemy is not just to bow down and die.
"When your enemies fall in love with you, you will be admired by the whole world."
