The Three Kingdoms period is a very touching history in Chinese history. Many heroes show their charm on this battlefield where the world is three points.
Perhaps thanks to the blessing of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei's team is undoubtedly the most popular force among readers. In addition, Zhuge Liang and the cooperation of other generals.
It can be said that Liu Bei's Shu Han occupied the "time, place, and harmony."
However, such a team with many capable people failed to realize Liu Huangshu's ambition to support the Han Dynasty. Although China finally ended up in unification, the one who unifies the world was the arch rival of Shu Han Cao Wei .
The seemingly powerful Shu Han and the wealthy Eastern Wu were also destroyed under the iron hoof of Cao Wei's army.
It is said that the change of regimes and the change of dynasties are bloody storms. I believe many people know that Liu Bei had died for many years when Shu Han destroyed the country, and the emperor at that time was the later lord Liu Chan.
So what will happen to this ignorant and incompetent Liu Chan under the iron cavalry of Cao Wei? What will happen to his 7 sons and 2 daughters in the end?
The Demise of Shu Han
Shu Han was established in 221 AD. The founding emperor was the familiar Liu Bei, whose capital is in today's Chengdu, China.
However, such a separatist regime had only a short 43 years of national destiny. was destroyed by Cao Wei in 263 AD.
Liu Bei died of illness after he ruled for a period of time. Before he died, he entrusted his son to Prime Minister Zhuge Liang. He even said the last words that Zhuge Liang could replace if the latter master was useless.
But Zhuge Liang, who is very wise and open-minded, naturally would not do this. Although Liu Chan was incompetent, Zhuge Liang still tried his best to assist him.
During the years when Zhuge Liang assisted in the administration, Shu Han had clear politics and peaceful life. However, such a country has repeatedly suffered a crushing defeat during the Northern Expedition, which in fact also indicates the reason for the demise of Shu Han from the side.
Shu Han has a fundamentally big problem, , that is, it is located in a remote .
Shu Han is located in the area of Sichuan and Yunnan today. is not to mention the current place, but it was also a barbaric place at that time.
Southwest region is mainly composed of alpine terrain, surrounded by mountains and is treacherous and changeable, so it takes a lot of time to manage it.
Moreover, there is less arable land in the southwest region, and it is not like the Linhai of the East Wu. It can develop fishing and ships, so combat readiness resources are far from enough.
plus Shu Han has a small land area, and has less labor available. There is also a considerable number of people living in the mountains, not educating, and rebelling frequently.
Therefore, the rulers of Shu Han spent a lot of energy on pacifying the interior. Therefore, this is also the main reason why Shu Han has been developing worse than the other two countries.
During Zhuge Liang's regent, the political environment of Shu Han was still clear and he could attract many talents.
However, with the death of Zhuge Liang, the capable ministers he arranged, Fei Yi and others, also successively left the officialdom, and the power to govern the country was controlled by the later ruler Liu Chan.
Although Liu Chan was the emperor, he did not inherit his father's political talents at all. Judging from his actions, he cannot even be called a founding king.
In the late Shu Han Dynasty, Liu Chan began to favor the eunuch Huang Hao, allowing the eunuch's power to surpass the ministers.
At the same time, Liu Chan could not unify the morale of the army well. General of Shu Kingdom Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui fight intra-junction, which deviated the country's military power, and thus gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.
At this time, the Cao Wei regime was also controlled by the Sima family. In order to expand its own strength, Shu Han became the first target of surgery.
Unexpectedly, after Cao Wei's army set foot on the territory of Shu Han vigorously, what we ushered in was not the fierce battle as imagined, but the news that Liu Chan surrendered without fighting.
In this way, the rule of Shu Han completely failed in , and Liu Chan also became the unyielding " Shu Later Lord ".
The end of the Shu Han royal family
In order to show his kindness, Sima and Cao Wei did not make things difficult for Liu Chan himself, and Liu Chan's cowardice also made him unable to pose any threat. So Liu Chan received preferential treatment as the emperor of the fallen country.
Not only did he live a life of luxury in Cao Wei, but even Liu Chan himself also said words like "I am happy but not thinking about Shu", which became a laughing stock in later generations.
However, his children were not so lucky. As slaves of the country, the royal family would eventually usher in a tragic ending as usual.
The biological mothers of Liu Chan's children became the first victim.
Liu Chan's queen is Zhang Fei's daughter . She was already 4 or 50 years old when she was destroyed. In addition, she was blessed by the queen's identity, so she did not receive any insults.
But Liu Chan's other concubines were not so lucky.
"Han, Jin, Spring and Autumn" records: " Those who gave the generals without wives by the Shu palace people, Li Zhaoyi said: I cannot be humiliated, so I committed suicide."
From this record, it can be seen that the women who were distributed to Cao Wei soldiers as spoils were not only the palace maids of Shu, but also the concubines of Shu.
And Li Zhaoyi, as a high-ranking concubine in the harem, cannot escape , let alone other people.
Therefore, it can be calculated that the biological mothers of the princes and princesses of the Shu Han Dynasty were naturally mostly humiliated by the Cao Wei army. is naturally a kind of shame for them, as children, .
Liu Chan's crown prince is Liu Xuan . However, this crown prince was killed by the rioters during the civil turmoil in Shu Han, so he did not see the tragic situation of the country's demise.
Most of the princes of Shu Han did not die at the hands of Cao Wei, but died at the hands of the Huns after the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty.
Liu Chan's second son Liu Yao, fourth son Liu Zan , sixth son Liu Xu , and seventh son Liu Yu also surrendered with his father after the demise of Shu Han. As slaves of the country who were destroyed, they were not too embarrassed and remained alive after the Sima family established Jin Dynasty .
However, during the Yongjia Rebellion, the Jin Dynasty royal family were busy running for their lives, and no one cared about these four princes of the previous dynasty. So Liu Yao and others were soon killed by the invaded Xiongnu foreign tribes.
Liu Chan's third son Liu Cong died before the demise of Shu Han, and he did not see the demise of the country.
Liu Chen is Liu Chan's fifth son and a very honest person . After hearing that Liu Chan was about to surrender, he, who was unable to persuade him to commit suicide with his wife and children.
In addition, Liu Chan has two daughters. But compared with these two princesses, their brothers, they are obviously more miserable.
Liu Chan's eldest daughter married Zhuge Liang's son at the age of 17 and Zhuge Zhan , but Zhuge Zhan was killed while resisting Cao Wei's army.
The eldest princess who has no husband's blessing has also become a duckweed floating in troubled times. After , her records will not be recorded in history books. .
, Liu Chan's second daughter married Guan Yu's grandson Guan Yu's grandson Guan Tong at first. At first, the couple was harmonious and loving.
However, as the Guan clan flooded the Seventh Army in , it offended the Pang Tong family.
So soon after, Pang Shi took advantage of the chaos to destroy the Guan family, and The second daughter, as a princess, was not spared, and she died tragically under the sword of the enemy with her husband.
The dynasty changes in history are always accompanied by sword lights and sword shadows, and countless unjust souls also died tragically under the butcher knife of political struggle.
From the perspective of people today, the ending of the Shu Han royal family is indeed very tragic.
However, compared with other royal families in history, Liu Chan's children were lucky. At least they saved their lives in the chaos and lived a life of luxury.
But as a slave to the country, life must be very difficult.
Whether it is a humiliation in the heart or a brilliant stroke in history books, they will record their experience and pass it on for generations.
Conclusion
It can be said that these royal families were orthodox and lush embellishments of the royal family in their prosperous times, but once the country was destroyed, they became sinners throughout the ages and were scolded and ridiculed by thousands of people.
and Liu Chan's performance is also very disgusting. As the emperor and monarch, what he should really do is to live and die with the country, rather than live in vain.
Nowadays, some people believe that Liu Chan's move prevented the people from being slaughtered because of resistance is a manifestation of great wisdom.
But in fact, this is just a way to escape, and Liu Chan also responded to the historical evaluation of him - "A Dou that cannot be helped by ."
