Since Zhuge Liang's death, Liu Chan hastily abolished the position of prime minister. Although in the late Shu Han Dynasty, Jiang Wan, Dong Yun and others had great power, but they did not sit on the position of prime minister after all. Why did Liu Chan hastily revoke this important position? Originally, when Liu Bei was alive, he also set up this position to help him govern the country. And before Zhuge Liang died, Liu Chan never mentioned anything wrong with this position, but as soon as Zhuge Liang died, Liu Chan insisted on abolishing the prime minister system, what is the reason for this?
As for the answer to this question, I am afraid that most people will think that this is due to Liu Chan's hatred of Zhuge Liang. After all, Liu Chan sat on the throne very early, but he has never had real power, which means that although he is an emperor, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang has the final say in all major affairs of the court, so he has always been aggrieved in his heart, but because he has no strength to resist, he can only endure it silently. As soon as Zhuge Liang died, he breathed a sigh of relief, and he was finally free to really start exercising his privileges as an emperor. Because of his jealousy of Zhuge Liang's transfer of power for many years, he abolished the position of prime minister. Is this really the reason for what Liu Chan did?
In fact, we know that if the ancient king really hated a minister who had been in power for many years, he would have acted vividly. Just like Aobai, as an auxiliary minister, he has been manipulating the government, so that Kangxi has been an empty shell emperor for many years, and he has no right to speak in the court, but when he gets rid of Aobai, not only Aobai himself will die, but even his family and party members have been eliminated.
But after Zhuge Liang's death, Liu Chan did not harm his family, and none of Zhuge Liang's courtiers were affected by the so-called implication and suppression. Just like Jiang Wei has always been Zhuge Liang's confidant, after Zhuge Liang's death, instead of being suppressed and liquidated by Liu Chan, he still became a general and continued the Northern Expedition. And Zhuge Liang's descendants are also safe and sound, not only were they not embarrassed by Liu Chan, but they were treated more favorably by Liu Chan. Zhuge Liang's son Zhuge Zhan not only had a high official position in the court, but also married Liu Chan's daughter. This series of things is enough to see that Liu Chan does not have any hostility and hatred towards Zhuge Liang. It can be said that he has never resented Zhuge Liang, otherwise, he would definitely take practical actions to retaliate against his family and confidants. After all, Liu Chan at this time is not like before, he does have such real power in his hands and can do this.
However, although Liu Chan's abolition of the prime minister system was not caused by his hatred of Zhuge Liang, it was also abolished because of him. What does this mean? In fact, it is very simple, although there is no resentment against Zhuge Liang in it, but Liu Chan, as an emperor, he definitely wants to do it in a dignified manner. Zhuge Liang's dictatorship made him feel uncomfortable somewhat, but he knew that Zhuge Liang's dictatorship was loyal, and he was dedicated to Shu, so he was willing to accept all this. But as soon as Zhuge Liang died, he didn't dare to guarantee that everyone would be so loyal to him.
And the power of the post of prime minister is too great, if the person is not properly employed, let a person with different intentions become the prime minister, wouldn't it harm the country? For the sake of insurance, Liu Chan knew that he could no longer set up the post of prime minister. So only Jiang Wan was allowed to serve as the big Sima and Fei Yi as the general, so that the power of the original prime minister could be divided into two, so that they could check and balance each other, and Liu Chan could easily control the court situation, and there was no need to set up the so-called prime minister's position.
Therefore, Liu Chan is not so "Adou", in fact, he is still very wise.
