In the long river of history, there are always some characters who have been misunderstood or even distorted by future generations for various reasons. Liu Chan, the Shu Han Emperor during the Three Kingdoms period, was one of them. Because of his series of behaviors after Zhuge Liang's death, he was misunderstood by many people as a "fool" emperor. However, if we dig deeper into history, we will find that Liu Chan was actually a forbearant and resourceful Ming Jun. This article will focus on Liu Chan's role in Zhuge Liang's lifetime, Zhuge Liang's actions after his death, and the reforms after taking power.
1. Liu Chan's role in Zhuge Liang's lifetime
As the second emperor of Shu Han, Liu Chan faced tremendous pressure from the beginning of his succession. Zhuge Liang, as the prime minister of Shu Han, actually held the power of Shu Han during the auxiliary period, while Liu Chan was like a puppet. This situation caused many people to misunderstand Liu Chan as an emperor who did nothing. However, in fact, Liu Chan did not give up his governance of Shu Han during Zhuge Liang's auxiliary administration, although his power was limited. He worked hard to study government affairs and actively listened to Zhuge Liang's suggestions, which laid the foundation for the stable development of Shu Han.
At the same time, Liu Chan's attitude towards Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition is also worthy of our attention. Although on the surface he supported Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, in fact, he had a clear understanding of the success or failure of the Northern Expedition. He understood that there was a clear gap between Shu Han's strength and Cao Wei's, and the success of the Northern Expedition was not an easy task. Therefore, he was full of dissatisfaction and worry about the Northern Expedition in his heart. This dissatisfaction and worry was not because he did not trust Zhuge Liang, but because he feared that the failure of the Northern Expedition would bring greater disaster to Shu Han.
2. Liu Chan's actions after Zhuge Liang's death
After Zhuge Liang's death, Liu Chan finally regained military and political power. He first dealt with Li Miao, Wei Ting, Yang Yi and others. These people were all close associates of Zhuge Liang, and after Zhuge Liang's death, they tried to continue to hold the power of Shu Han. However, Liu Chan did not let them succeed. He decisively removed them from office and took power firmly into his own hands. This action showed Liu Chan's decisiveness and resourcefulness, and he was not carried away by power, but was soberly aware of the situation facing Shu Han.
Subsequently, Liu Chan carried out a series of political purges. He cleared some of the ** who were in power during the Zhuge Liang period and replaced them with his cronies. Although this action caused dissatisfaction and opposition from some people, in the long run, it was beneficial to the stable development of Shu Han. Through political purges, Liu Chan weakened the opposition within Shu Han and consolidated his position.
3. Reforms after Liu Chan came to power
After Liu Chan came to power, he was not satisfied with the current situation, but actively carried out a series of reforms. He first took back the military and political power and reorganized the court. He selected a group of talented ** to enter the imperial court, which improved the administrative efficiency of Shu Han. At the same time, he also strengthened his control over the army and increased the military strength of Shu Han.
In addition, Liu Chan also strengthened his alliance with Soochow. He understood that if Shu Han wanted to gain a foothold in the situation of the Three Kingdoms, he must maintain good relations with other forces. Therefore, he actively engaged in diplomatic communication with Soochow and stabilized the relations between the two countries. This action created a good external environment for the development of Shuhan.
IV. Conclusion
Through the above analysis, we can see that Liu Chan is not a "fool" emperor, but a forbearant and resourceful emperor. During Zhuge Liang's auxiliary administration, he worked hard to learn government affairs and actively listened to suggestions; After Zhuge Liang's death, he decisively recovered power and carried out political purges; After taking power, he actively reformed and strengthened the alliance. These actions showed his wisdom and cunning.
Liu Chan's political skill and influence on the stability of Shu Han cannot be ignored. Through his own efforts and wisdom, he laid the foundation for the development of Shu Han. Although he has been misunderstood and distorted in history, we should restore his true image by in-depth understanding of history. Only in this way can we better understand the history and culture of the Three Kingdoms period.
