There are many mediocre monarchs in history, and with the assistance of their competent ministers, they can still operate normally in peacetime. But in the war years, the fate of the country is in danger.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei's son Liu Chan was one, he had no ability to govern the country, he had no ambitions, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was stupid all day long.
In 264 A.D., in the first year of Cao Wei Xianxi, the Anle Mansion in the south of Luoyang was very lively, because today there was a distinguished guest, Sima Zhao, a powerful minister of Wei. In order to welcome Sima Zhao's arrival, the hall of the Anle Mansion was specially cleaned and rearranged.
In order to give preferential treatment to the queen of Shu, that is, Liu Chan, the current Anle Gong, Sima Zhao specially brought a group of excellent people to him. There were two clown-like characters performing a comical skit and everyone was amused by them. As everyone knows, this is after the defeat of Liu Chanshu Kingdom, and it has been a year since he came to Luoyang. Revisiting the Shu land ** and dance that was once popular in the Shu Han court in other places, the old ministers of Shu Han were all moved, and the sadness in their hearts was like silt sinking at the bottom of the lake, all of which floated up. Only Liu Chan felt very happy, and commented from time to time on which dance skills had improved greatly and which tune had flaws. His former ministers looked at him and Sima Zhao, embarrassed and sad. Sima Zhao asked Liu Chan: "You have been in Luoyang for almost a year, how do you feel?"Do you still miss Shu?Liu Chan said: "Luoyang is much more prosperous than Chengdu, and I can't remember what Shu is like for a long time."
On the way back, Sima Zhao sighed: I knew that Liu Chan was a ruthless person, but I didn't expect it to be like this, even if Zhuge Liang was alive, it would be impossible to preserve his throne. After Sima Zhao left, Liu Chan's important minister Yin Zheng said to Liu Chan: The lord is a descendant of Han Gaozu, the son of Emperor Zhaolie Liu Bei, although he died in the country, he can't let him laugh. Next time Sima Zhao, if you ask if you want to miss Shu, you should say with tears in your eyes: "The grave of my ancestors is in Shu, although I can't worship, but there is no day I don't want to miss it, and I have to close my eyes to express my grief."
A few months passed, Liu Chan and Sima Zhao attended the court meeting together, and Sima Zhao really asked Liu Chan if he wanted Shu again. Liu Chan performed according to the guidance of Yin Zheng, but he couldn't shed tears. Sima Zhao was very strange: "Why are your words and demeanor so similar to Yin Zheng!."Liu Chan opened his eyes and said in surprise: "He originally taught it, how did you guess it?"Everyone including Sima Zhao burst out laughing.
Liu Chan lived leisurely and leisurely in Luoyang for seven or eight years, and died in the seventh year of the Western Jin Dynasty (271), which was longer than Sima Zhao.
