At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the foundation of Taoism was established, and the rule of Wenjing was achieved by the way of Huang Lao, and Liu Chan, the last emperor of Shu Han, also inherited Taoism, but only to be the emperor of Taoism rather than governing the country.
Liu Chan first ascended the throne, everything is based on the head of the father Zhuge Liang, the Shu Han inherited the orthodoxy of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Northern Expedition is an unshirkable responsibility, and it is also the first to gather the army and civil forces. In fact, with Zhuge Liang's experience of five Northern Expeditions, each time he consumed countless manpower and material resources, but he was defeated again and again, and finally achieved nothing.
Zhuge Liang can be unparalleled in the world, holding the power of Shu Han, Liu Chan wholeheartedly trusts him and has no suspicions, in addition to Zhuge Liang's openness, it is also Liu Chan's Taoist characteristics, happy to have nothing to do and be at ease, willing to hand over the major affairs of governing the country to the father who has both ability and political integrity, Taoism disdains this kind of laborious trivial matters.
When Zhuge Liang died of illness in Wuzhangyuan, he killed Li Miao, who slandered his father's power over Liu Chan, and the world said that Liu Chan only killed two people in his life, one of which was his father, Liu Chan's generosity for the emperor can be seen, and his trust in his father can be expressed by the sun and the moon. After the death of his father, he didn't bother to work, and the affairs were also handed over to Jiang Wei and others, and when the talents of Shu Han withered in the later period, he would rather favor the eunuchs than take care of the government, and the responsibility of the long of the Shu Han and Han families was not important in his eyes.
When Wei invaded Shu Han, Liu Chan announced his surrender, and did not covet the power of the Shu Han Emperor, and was content to become the Duke of An Le of Wei, moved to Luoyang to live, and finally ended up with the reputation of being happy and not thinking about Shu, which was a manifestation of the Taoist emperor's acceptance of the way of heaven and being content with nature. Shu Han is too weak compared to Wei, Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition is not only ineffective, but repeatedly hurts the national strength, no matter how hard it tries, it will not help, Liu Chan did not refute the proposal of Xiangfu and others to the Northern Expedition, simply left it to them to do, success is the work of Shu Han, failure is not allowed to me, and failure is not harsh on the generals.
Liu Chan's life is neither tyrannical, nor absurd, and there is no imposition, he has won the essence of Taoism, the way of heaven is just natural, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, in the troubled times still get his life, happy not to think about Shu, in Shu Han is the king of the dead country, in the Taoist view of happy and free, unlike Cao Wei who is only busy for the Sima family, and also lost the life of Cao Wei's royal family.
Although Taoism is difficult to achieve, it is not a big loss!
