Liu Bei was a high-profile figure during the Three Kingdoms period, yet his descendants failed to inherit his brilliance. Liu Bei had four sons, but they all looked pale compared to him. Among them, Liu Chan, who inherited the throne, was named Adou, which was in stark contrast to his father's name. This raises questions about whether he will be able to inherit his father's business. Miss Shu's happy life is also impressive, but is Liu Chan in history really as incompetent as rumored? Let's take a look at what history says about him.
As a small country during the Three Kingdoms period, Shu was small and sparsely populated, and often felt pressure in the face of the challenges of troubled times. However, Liu Chan became the longest-reigning emperor in the country's history, ruling for 41 years. Zhuge Liang served as an assistant for 11 years, while Liu Chan remained in power alone for 29 years. How could such a ruler, if he really lacked intelligence, hold out for so long and not be usurped or replaced sooner?
At the beginning of Liu Chan's ascension to the throne, Zhuge Liang was almost indecisive while he was alive, leading some to question his abilities. However, after Zhuge Liang's death, Liu Chan began to take sole power. He appointed Jiang Wei as the Great Sima to be responsible for supervision, and let Fei Yi serve as the Great Sima to preside over the administration, dividing Zhuge Liang's power into two parts, checking and balancing each other, and containing each other. Is such a precise and swift arrangement possible for a person with a low IQ to do?
In 238, a rebellion broke out within the Wei state, and Sima Yi was forced to keep busy quelling the rebellion. At this time, Liu Chan saw a good opportunity for the Northern Expedition and told Jiang Wei to seize this opportunity, but at the same time warned him not to act rashly. His offer to wait for Wu to launch an attack on Wei and then act together was by no means a retarded move.
In addition, there is the ** of the idiom "Lebush book". After the fall of Shu Han, Sima Zhao entertained Liu Chan. At the banquet, Sima Zhao asked the musicians to play the Shu **, and the dancers to perform the Shu dance. The Shu people present were all sad, and only Liu Chan smiled from ear to ear. Sima Zhao said to the people around him that even Zhuge Liang couldn't help Jiuquan, let alone Jiang Wei?
Subsequently, Sima Zhao asked Liu Chan if he missed Shu, and Liu Chan did not hesitate to say how beautiful the scene in front of him was, and he would not miss Shu at all.
This is the origin of the idiom "Four Techniques of the Club". Later, this matter was learned by Liu Chan's former minister He Zheng. Once, I approached He Zheng and rebuked him for being too irresponsible in his handling of the matter. I told him that the next time someone asked about it, he should tell them that the tomb was in the distant land of Naixunshu. When He Zheng asked Sima Zhao about this matter again, he took what Liu Chan said as the answer. When Sima Zhao heard this, he immediately showed a surprised expression and asked He Zheng how he found out, and He Zheng told him that it was Liu Chan who told him.
People often say that Liu Chan is stupid and incompetent, but I disagree with that. At that time, he had already surrendered to Cao Wei and was in Luoyang, where many Shu Han ministers and their families, including him, were there. He pretended not to care, but in fact he was killed in order to avoid being suspected of having the heart of recovering the country by Sima Zhao. Doing so not only protects yourself, but also protects the safety of your subordinates. As a representative of the old ministers of Shu, his actions are monitored everywhere, and the slightest carelessness will lead to his death, which will also affect other old ministers, causing irreparable losses. What he did was actually a move to protect himself and protect the safety of the former Shu Han minister.
During his reign, there were also many achievements. He was good at employing people, and he used the generals left behind by his father properly and showed wisdom. However, he also trusted some wrong people, which eventually led to the fall of the Shu Kingdom.
Liu Chan should be correctly evaluated, he is an ordinary person with a normal IQ. It would not be fair to exaggerate his stupidity.
He wasn't a great man, he wasn't stupid, he was just an ordinary man born into royalty, but he didn't have any luck.
