Liu Bei Tuogu is really a conspiracy, and he is most sorry for Zhao Yun
White Emperor City Tuogu, a seemingly perfect historical story, passed down for thousands of years, actually covers up a well-planned story"Cunning"。
Liu Bei, among the people you have disappointed, Zhao Yun is the deepest. In 200 AD, Zhao Yun began to follow you until his death in 229 AD, during which he did his best for the Liu family until his death.
However, despite his hard work and many contributions, his official position and status were low, which was really unfair to him. Zhao Yun, whose name is Zilong, is one of the five tiger generals of the Shu Han Dynasty, and his loyalty and outstanding military exploits have served you for nearly 30 years.
He did not hesitate to sacrifice himself and twice saved the queen Liu Chan in times of crisis.
Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang before he died:"Remember, Zilong is not reusable", this is not because Zhao Yun has a festival or lacks ability. When he was alive, Zhao Yun's official position was not high, and his status was not as good as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but this did not mean that he could not be reused.
On the contrary, Liu Bei's decision was based on his ulterior motives and cunning strategy. He knew Zhao Yun's loyalty and talent very well, so he specially told Zhuge Liang not to reuse him before he died, so as not to cause dissatisfaction and jealousy among others.
This just shows Liu Bei's excellence, he can outwit and properly handle interpersonal relationships to achieve his goals.
When I was in the White Emperor City, I would make a different point of view. Zhao Yun is not only Liu Bei's personal bodyguard, but also his bodyguard, ensuring the safety of him and his family.
In that era of separation, it was crucial to find a loyal and skilled bodyguard, and Zhao Yun was the best candidate. The two things recorded in the official history are enough to prove his character.
In 200 AD, Liu Bei took refuge in Liu Biao. Ten years later, Cao Cao waved his army south, and in the face of the pressure of the army, Liu Cong, the son of the old lord Liu Biao, retreated in fear and chose to surrender.
The situation changed abruptly, and Liu Bei led his team to flee south to Jiangling, but due to the large number of people and the heavy carriages and horses, they were soon overtaken by Cao Cao's light cavalry. In order to protect the large army and his wife and children, Liu Bei had to leave them behind, and he only led dozens of people to the north alone.
At this time, it was rumored that Zhao Yun was going to take refuge in Cao Cao, but it didn't take long for Zhao Yun to return with his son Liu Chan and successfully complete the feat of riding the savior alone, which is the famous story of "Changbanpo riding the savior alone" in history.
In order to consolidate the alliance between Sun and Liu, Sun Quan married his sister to Liu Bei. However, when Sun Quan wanted to take advantage of Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan to recapture Jingzhou, he feared that he would hurt his sister.
So, Sun Quan sent someone to take his sister back to Soochow and asked her to take Liu Chan back with her. When Sun Shangxiang and Adou were about to leave by boat, Zhao Yun discovered the situation.
He did not hesitate to get on the enemy ship alone and try to stop the Soochow generals. Soon after, Zhang Fei also arrived by boat, intercepted the boat with Zhao Yun, and successfully rescued Adou.
If it weren't for Zhao Yun's heroic deeds, Adou would probably have been taken to Soochow by Mrs. Sun.
Zhao Yun's loyalty to Liu Bei can be seen from his two acts of sacrificing his life to save the queen, and his bravery and noble character are even more admirable. However, his contribution was not rewarded as it should be.
After Nagasaka Slope, he was canonized"General Yamen", and it's just one"Miscellaneous General", the status is not high. Although his status is understandable that it is not as good as Guan and Zhang, even Huang Zhong, who joined later, has a higher status than him, which is really unfair.
Huang Zhong followed Liu Bei into Sichuan in 211 AD, and after pacifying Yizhou, he was named a general to capture prisoners, although he was also a miscellaneous general, but he was already on the same level as Zhao Yun, which made people feel unfair to Zhao Yun.
When Liu Bei became king in Hanzhong, Huang Zhong became a general, and his status was equal to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and even the reward of Guan Neihou was awarded. However, Zhao Yun did not receive any reward, just a miscellaneous general.
Until Liu Bei's death, Zhao Yun was not made a marquis. Although we feel unfair about what happened to Zhao Yun, we can't ignore Liu Bei's selfishness.
When Liu Bei was critically ill, he summoned Prime Minister Zhuge Liang and Shangshu Ling Li Yan to go to the White Emperor City to support Gu. He sincerely told Zhuge Liang: "Your talent is ten times more than Cao Pi, and you will definitely be able to protect the country and the people, and finally complete great things."
If my stepson can be assisted, you will assist him; If he doesn't have talent, you can replace him. Zhuge Liang responded with tears in his eyes: "I am willing to do my best to be loyal until I promise to do so." ”
Liu Bei issued an edict for the queen again, asking him to treat Zhuge Liang like a father.
Liu Bei's Tuogu is actually a well-thought-out conspiracy, which can be described as"Three birds with one stone"。As the core figure of Shu Han, Zhuge Liang was the military advisor invited by Liu Bei's Sangu Thatched House, and he was selected as the first auxiliary minister of Tuogu, which can be said to be the most suitable choice.
However, if the power is only given to Zhuge Liang alone, then the power is too centralized, and this violates the principle of balance in the art of the emperor and needs to be checked and checked. Therefore, while Liu Bei was entrusting Gu, he also arranged other key figures to ensure the decentralization and balance of power.
When Liu Bei was dying, he entrusted the important tasks of the country to two generals - Zhuge Liang and Li Yan. Zhuge Liang is a representative of the Jingzhou faction and is good at cultural governance; Li Yan was the leader of the Dongzhou faction and was good at military affairs.
They are in charge of civil and military affairs respectively in ** and localities, forming a perfect complementarity of talents. So, where was Zhao Yun when Liu Beituo was lonely?
After Liu Bei arranged Zhuge Liang and Li Yan, he turned to Zhao Yun and said, "After I pass away, you have to protect my son Liu Chan like you protect me." You once saved his life, and he will listen to you.
You used to be my personal bodyguard, and if you found someone who was being faithful to me, you had to be executed immediately. From now on, you will become Liu Chan's personal bodyguard, and once someone is unfaithful to Liu Chan, you also need to act immediately. ”
As a member of the royal family, Liu Bei was proficient in the art of the emperor, skillfully used the checks and balances between Zhuge Liang and Li Yan, and asked Zhao Yun to supervise them, and once he found that he had the intention of rebellion, he would be executed immediately.
Therefore, although Zhao Yun was loyal to Liu Bei and made great contributions to him, his reward was relatively small. Finally, Liu Bei specially instructed Zhuge Liang on his deathbed that Zhao Yun could not be overused after his death.
I believe that Liu Bei's decisions are all out of consideration for his son Liu Chan. He believes that the reason why Zhao Yun is willing to follow him is not only because of his generosity, but also because of his personal charm and ability.
But if Liu Bei unfortunately dies, who will be willing to serve him and protect him and the Liu family with the image of Liu Chan's weak and incompetent? Therefore, Liu Bei decided to leave the right to reward his son, so that Zhao Yun would be grateful to his son, so that Zhao Yun would be more loyal to protect Liu Chan.
That's right, in April 223 AD, Liu Bei died in the Yong'an Palace of the White Emperor City, leaving a testament to establish Liu Chan as the new emperor and changing the year name to the first year of Jianxing. At the same time, Liu Bei also named Zhao Yun the Marquis of Yongchang Pavilion and promoted him to the general of Zhendong.
All this was carefully arranged by Liu Bei on his deathbed. In terms of Zhao Yun's job arrangement, I particularly noticed that he was awarded the title of General of the Central Protector Army and Zhengnan, which was a reward before Liu Bei's death.
The Central Protector is a high-ranking military position that is primarily responsible for managing the forbidden army and selecting junior military attachés, as well as supervising and controlling the generals. The forbidden army is the emperor's personal armed force and the emperor's last guarantee, so the person in charge of the forbidden army must be the emperor's trusted confidant.
In general, Liu Bei made adequate arrangements on his deathbed, including the appointment of a new emperor and an important **, as a way to ensure a smooth transition of the country.
Although the official position is not high, Zhao Yun's power is very large. After Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, he promoted Zhao Yun to general of Zhendong. Maybe you don't know the meaning of this position, but you must know that Liu Bei also served as the general of Zhendong.
This means that Zhao Yun's position has been promoted by Liu Chan to a position comparable to Liu Bei. Because Zhao Yun had saved Liu Chan twice, the relationship between them had surpassed that of master and servant, and reached the intimacy of father and son.
After Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, he gave everything that Liu Bei did not give to Zhao Yun. In this way, Zhao Yun would naturally be grateful to Liu Chan and be loyal to him with all his heart. Liu Bei's intentions, everyone understands.
Liu Bei's trust in Zhao Yun is unmatched, and if he loses Zhao Yun, it is equivalent to losing a protective barrier. Liu Bei knew this, so he didn't want Zhao Yun to take a bigger risk.
In addition, Liu Bei has a deep affection for Zhao Yun, and he hopes that Zhao Yun can get the reward he deserves to express his gratitude to him. Therefore, Liu Bei did not want Zhao Yun to take risks, but hoped that he would be able to enjoy his old age in peace while protecting his son and the entire Liu family from infringement.
If you want to understand the emperor's mind, you have to learn why Qianlong didn't kill He Shen and Liu Bei, and why he didn't give Zhao Yun ** Houlu. These actions were all aimed at securing their position and gaining support after their son succeeded to the throne.
The real good intentions are to leave the power of life and death and the power of reward to their children. The heart of the emperor is beyond our understanding. It was not easy to create, and it took several nights to complete.
Your attention is the driving force for me to move forward, if there is a mistake, welcome criticism and correction, I will try to correct it. I'm sorry for the title mistake before, but now it's been corrected, I hope you understand it, and I'll be more careful in the future.
Thank you for reading.
