As the prince of Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty, Liu Chan did not complete the grand plan of recovering the Han Dynasty as expected by his father.
In 223 AD, Liu Bei died in Baidicheng. At that time, Liu Chan, who was 16 years old, succeeded to the throne and began his ruling career of 4 1 year. However, during his reign, Liu Chan's impression on future generations seems to remain at the level of mediocrity and incompetence, and naturally he was labeled as "A Dou who can't help it".
In 263 AD, Shu Han was annexed by Cao Wei, who was controlled by the Sima family, but he was given the rare treatment of a king who died in the country-to spend the rest of his life safely. So what did the late Liu Chan rely on to die a fair death in Sima's high-handed political environment?
First, the low-key attitude of protecting the environment and protecting the people and preserving our sanity is impeccable. When Wargo led Wei Jun Enemy at the Gates, Liu Chan did not choose to fight to the death, but surrendered. Because he knows that there are not only thousands of bright fighters standing behind him, but also thousands of innocent people.
Throughout the history of China, the last emperor seemed to have a * * * nature-political corruption, extravagant life, autocratic eunuchs, and indecision, and the consequences of these actions were naturally war and the people were miserable.
Liu Chan should not be confused with them. In front of the great soldiers, he was wise and reasonable. He didn't let CoCo Lee get into trouble because he was "ashamed" of his ancestors. How to survive now is the main contradiction. As for the rectification of the Han dynasty, it became a secondary contradiction. After all, there are green hills, and there is no fear of firewood.
In addition, the result of supporting the continuation of the Northern Expedition also proved that Liu Chan was not idle. Ask yourself, he has tried his best to continue the troubled times. There seems to be some chaos. The war lasted for decades. Now is the time for the people of the world to recuperate.
This clean way of surrender is beyond reproach. Let Wei go, and I will go on my way honestly. I will happily accept any title. What can you do for him?
Second, play the fool fully distracted, forbear. Friends who have read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms may know that Liu Chan's brilliance is always mercilessly concealed by his parents' great achievements. So, after your father and your father died, he really had a chance to show himself. From the development of economy to the safety of the people, Liu Chan was in power independently, which directly extended the life of a dying dynasty for nearly 30 years.
But now he's a senior prisoner. In order to save his life and avoid being killed, Liu Chan had to be "happy and know life" because he was more cautious about Sima Group than Zhuge Liang, the "phase father". When Zhuge Liang was alive, Liu Chan regarded him as his father and respected him. Everything is according to his father's words. Even if he has prejudice in his heart, he won't say it, but chooses to avoid it and keep it.
After the surrender, Liu Chan faced a worse environment than at that time, so it had to follow the previous practice and play the fool fully distracted. In this way, "I don't think about it" became a special label of Liu Chan.
Third, the consideration of Sima family. On the other hand, the Sima family did not pay much attention to such a conquered monarch who did not think about his home country. Let Liu Chan do it well. On the one hand, it will stabilize the mood of the people in Shu (in terms of Liu Chan's love of the people as a son, if Sima's family executes him prematurely, it may lead to unrest). On the other hand, they will spare no effort to clean up Soochow and show Liu Chan's treatment to Sun Hao, the last king of Soochow, so as to play the role of surrender.
To sum up, the main reason why Liu Chan can die a fair death is that he knows everything and keeps a clear head. Of course, subjectively, he can't do without Sima's "softhearted".
