In ancient times, when the old emperor was about to die and the young emperor was still young, he needed to entrust his orphan ministers. For example, there were four ministers who were entrusted to the orphan in , but Kangxi was a ruthless person. The first thing he did when he grew up was to destroy one of the four ministers, Aobai . To talk about the emperor who listened to the most entrusted to the orphan in history, it was Liu Chan .
In those years in Shu Han, he was like a well-behaved puppet emperor. He obeyed all the suggestions of Zhuge Liang , and he himself had no opinion.
However, after Zhuge Liang's death, Liu Chan actually ordered the search of Zhuge Liang's property. What's going on?
Entrust the orphan Baidi City
In 223 AD, Liu Bei was seriously ill in Baidi City.
Four years ago, Wu State was provoked by Wei State and unilaterally tore up the alliance with Shu State. Dongwu people sneaked into Guan Yu , took down his head and presented it to Cao Cao .
Liu Bei was extremely sad and angry when he heard this. He insisted on attacking the Eastern Wu despite the dissuasion of his ministers and avenged his revenge for Yunchang . As a result, he was burned by Lu Xun for 800 miles of camp. After a brief rise, Shu Kingdom quickly fell.
Just like that, Liu Bei left a "mess" for Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan.
On the hospital bed in Baidi City, Liu Bei called both of them over, Liu Bei told Liu Chan that in the future, Prime Minister Zhuge would be his "principal father" and his reborn parents, and he would definitely listen to Prime Minister Zhuge in the future.
Liu Bei also told Zhuge Liang that if A Dou can do it, then assist him, if not, then replace him.
Zhuge Liang heard this and knelt down, feeling moved like a tearful person.
The most powerful prime minister and the most obedient emperor
Liu Chan completely "served him with his father" in the 11 years he worked with Zhuge Liang and never neglected him. The 11 years when Zhuge Liang assisted in government administration were actually equivalent to the 11 years when "representing politics". He led troops to the northern expedition for a long time. Although Liu Chan understood that this was contrary to the way of the ruler and the subject, he didn't care about these things and let Zhuge Liang do it.
Later, Liu Chan grew up, According to the Han Dynasty convention, the chief handed over the power of governing the country and the army to the emperor , so that he could "turn to a regular basis", no longer just " intern emperor".
However, Zhuge Liang still monopolized the power, especially after he led the troops to the Northern Expedition, he was still worried about the 22-year-old Liu Chan, so he specially sent his confidant to supervise him.
In the " Memorial to the Master " written to Liu Chan, Kong Ming makes people feel that every sentence is scolding Liu Chan. He is like a strict father teaching himself a child who is not good at it.
In fact, At that time, Liu Chan had different views on Zhuge Liang's decision to ignore national strength and insist on the Northern Expedition. However, after he proposed it, he did not receive the attention of Zhuge Liang, so he had to give up .
Afterwards, Liu Chan still actively supported and encouraged Zhuge Liang to go to the Northern Expedition without any emotion. Later, Zhuge Liang misused Ma Su and lost Jieting, and he "demolished himself three levels" as a punishment.
Liu Chan always comforted Zhuge Liang in order not to affect his authority and confidence, "Winning is a common thing in military affairs, and the prime minister does not have to blame himself too much." Not long after, Zhuge Liang won the battle and Liu Chan returned to his original position in time.
Some people say that Liu Chan is a fool emperor without any personality, and this has a lot to do with his final "self-bound surrender".
Some people also say that Liu Chan knows well that "there will be internal changes if the ruler and his subjects are not in harmony", so he must handle the relationship between the ruler and his subjects well at all times, which reflects a politician's valuable mind of tolerance and magnanimity.
Shu ministers celebrated Zhuge Liang's death, and Liu Chan killed him angrily
In addition to being obedient or tolerant, Liu Chan was also an emperor who had fewer attacks on ministers in history. So who could anger him?
This person's name is Li Miao .
In 234 AD, Zhuge Liang died of illness due to overwork and Wuzhangyuan . The entire Shu Kingdom suddenly fell into endless grief. Liu Chan announced that a three-day mourning ceremony was held nationwide.
At this time, the minister Li Miao believed that now that Zhuge Liang is dead, Shu Han finally does not need to fight the Northern Expedition, and the frontier can finally calm down. Moreover, Zhuge Liang has always held heavy troops in his hand. If he does not die, he will definitely rebel in the future, so this should be something worth celebrating.
Li Miao is not only arrogant, but also has a very low emotional intelligence.
In the early years, Liu Bei seized Yizhou and ordered Li Miao, who was once a gentry in Yizhou, to serve as an official position. Not only did he not be grateful to Liu Bei, he also scolded the latter for occupying Yizhou, which angered Liu Bei, and finally saved his life under Zhuge Liang's plea.
As for Li Miao's dislike of Zhuge Liang, it was related to the later " killing Ma Su with tears in his eyes". At that time, he quoted the previous precedents of Qin State and Chu State and advised Kong Ming that if Ma Su was killed, Shu State might soon decline. Although looking back now, his words were correct, at that time, Zhuge Liang believed that there was no joke in the army, and finally killed Ma Su on Jieting .
Not long after, Zhuge Liang also sent the "Dao Difference" Li Miao back to Chengdu. Li Miao was unable to display his talents and was always depressed, so he held a grudge against Zhuge Liang, and said such words "worth celebrating" when mourning the whole country.
Liu Chan was furious when he heard Li Miao's remarks. He had always been docile and ordered him to behead him. This was really unexpected, but it also shows how deep the later Lord of Shu Han felt for Zhuge Liang.
Check Zhuge Liang's property
In fact, is not only Li Miao, but also some other villains who also spread slander after Zhuge Liang passed away to deliberately slander the former prime minister.
This is reasonable. When Zhuge Liang was the prime minister, his power could be said to be greater than that of the emperor. Except for military matters, he had the final say, and all the affairs of the court had to be controlled by Zhuge Liang. As the saying goes, "no matter is too big or small, but it is too small." As long as it is a matter of being over twenty, he has to personally inquire about it, because he thinks that the emperor's ability is really not good.
However, Not everyone is as obedient and obedient as Liu Chan, so Zhuge Liang will inevitably offend some people in the court , and some people are dissatisfied with his monopoly of power. Therefore, These people think about making Zhuge Liang a name after his death, or using some means to punish his descendants.
At that time, there was a slander that Zhuge Liang accumulated a lot of money during his lifetime, which was not what he said in his own words. The matter of
has to start with Wuzhangyuan.
At that time, it was already April 234 AD. Zhuge Liang, 54, was lying on the hospital bed. Years of war caused him to become overworked and physically and mentally exhausted, and eventually fell down. Even though Sima Yi, he was still powerless.
Zhuge Liang felt that he had not had enough time, so he wrote a letter to the later leader Liu Chan and entrust him to the funeral.
years ago, Kong Ming wrote in "The Memorial to the Emperor" that "I have a life of chaotic times and do not seek to be heard and gained from the princes";
years later, Kong Ming said in his deathbed: "The ministers have eight hundred mulberry trees in Chengdu, and 15 hectares of thin fields. The descendants have their own spare time to eat and wear food and clothing." .
So what is the general concept of these 800 mulberry trees and 15 hectares of fields?
Before, there was a general named Jiang Qin in the Eastern Wu. When Sun Quan attacked Guan Yu, Jiang Qin was responsible for supervising the army into Hanshui . Unfortunately, he died of illness after returning to Wu. Although Jiang Qin has made contributions, he is an unknown person compared to Kong Ming. After Jiang Qin died of illness, Sun Quan rewarded them with 200 hectares of land, which is more than ten times more than the 15 hectares accumulated in his life.
Zhuge Liang's legacy was passed back to Chengdu after his death. Everyone cried when they heard it. However, some people were just pretending to be there. They suspected that Zhuge Liang lied to the property he owned. After all, he was a man who could summon the wind and rain in Shu Han. He also had great achievements in fighting in all directions with the late emperor Liu Bei. How could such a person have only 800 mulberry trees and 15 hectares of land?
These have long been disgusted with Zhuge Liang's villain so they found the right time and indirectly suggested to Liu Chan: Zhuge Liang was not as devoted to the country and regardless of personal gains and losses as he wrote in his deathbed. The number of his writings was also fake.
In fact, before this, Liu Chan was also a little suspicious: Xiangfu, as the prime minister, was above the three dukes, and his salary alone was higher than that of ordinary people. For example, when conquering Chengdu, his father rewarded Xiangfu, Guan Yu and other four people with a thousand pounds of gold and silver. Moreover, Xiangfu was later named Wuxiang Hou , and the annual income of the fief was also a considerable income.
As the rumors became more and more rampant, it was finally rumored. At this time, Liu Chan couldn't sit still. He believed it and ordered the search of Zhuge Liang's property.
The person who searched the results came back and told Liu Chan: The Prime Minister did live a frugal life in the past, and there was no extra money in the mansion. People from the Zhuge family said that the Prime Minister advocated frugality and family style during his lifetime and had been strictly educating them. The Prime Minister only received a small portion of those rewards at a time, and sometimes he did not receive any money. As for the title of Wuhou, it was just a name.
After hearing this, Liu Chan first looked at the sky and sighed. He was sorry for Xiangfu's spirit in heaven. Then he was furious and smashed the teacup at hand to the ground.
He was angry that Xiang's father was loyal to Shu Han during his lifetime and died. These despicable villains not only did not know how to be grateful, but also tried to ruin his reputation.
What annoyed Liu Chan even more was that those rumors made him confused for a moment and actually did such a ridiculous thing as tracing the Prime Minister's Mansion, which now his reputation was also damaged. Moreover, what would the ministers under him think of him: Even wise ministers like Zhuge Liang who devoted themselves to this end, let alone them?
Respect for the virtuous ministers, stay away from the villain
"Respect for the virtuous ministers, stay away from the villain", this is Zhuge Liang's heartfelt advice to Liu Chan in "The Memorial of the Master Before", and soon after Zhuge Liang's death, Liu Chan staged a "respect for the villain". Ironically, the target was Zhuge Liang himself.
Liu Chan seems to have learned a lesson after this. The following year, he demoted Yang Yi , who had killed Wei Yan in civil strife to common people, and began to reuse loyal ministers and generals such as Jiang Wan , Fei Yi , Jiang Wei , and Jiang Wei . Under the covetous eyes of Wei and Wu, Liu Chan stood firm on Shu alone.
And until these wise ministers got old and Liu Chan was no longer available, A Dou's "can't help" nature was revealed again. He began to believe in an eunuch named Huang Hao, but he did not know that this accelerated the decline of Shu Han...
