Speaking of Liu Bei, everyone knows that he is virtuous. Why he did this depends on his childhood experience. 16 1 year, Liu Bei was born in a very good family, and his grandfather Xiong Liu was recommended as an official because of his filial piety. But Liu Bei's father, Ricas, died earlier, and Liu Bei made a living by weaving mats and selling shoes by his mother.
However, Liu Bei was ambitious since he was a child. When I was a child, Liu Bei once said to his friends, "I must use this feather to build a car." Liu Bei's relatives were shocked, but they were amazed. This child is not an ordinary person.
Later, Liu Bei used "the post-Zhongshan Wang Jing" as an excuse to vindicate the uprising, established the image of serving people with virtue, and formed his own power. If we look at Liu Bei objectively, he has no military ability. In his early days, he defected to various forces and wandered among heroes. Later, he established his own power, abandoned his wife four times, and suffered repeated defeats. In the end, he refused to listen to Zhuge Liang's dissuasion, insisted on crusade against Dongwu, and finally died.
But Liu Bei can become a great image in people's minds because he has always adhered to the belief of "virtue". He also said many golden sentences about virtue, which were recorded and praised by the world. One of them was included in the textbook, and the other was even regarded as a doctrine by the underworld. If you have seen gangster movies, you must often hear them talk about it.
Time is up 194. Because of Liu Bei's extraordinary virtue, Tao Qian gave up his territory to Liu Bei as a base. 195, Liu Bei successfully mastered the rule of Xuzhou, when Yuan Shu came to seize Xuzhou. Liu Bei left Zhang Fei stationed, and they took Guan Yu and Zhao Yun to see Yuan Shu.
However, as soon as Liu Bei left, Zhang Fei relaxed his vigilance and gave a big banquet. Lu Bu, who was cheated by Liu Bei at that time, heard that Zhang Fei was looking for wine all day, and immediately betrayed his faith and took the opportunity to attack Xuzhou. Until the fall of Xuzhou, Zhang Fei was still awake, and the enemy was still dizzy. Zhang Fei, who had no fighting capacity, abandoned the city and fled, regardless of Liu Bei's wife and daughter.
Seeing Liu Bei, Zhang Feicai suddenly woke up and blamed himself. Guan Yu also swore when he knew it. When angered by Guan Yu, Zhang Fei will draw his sword and commit suicide. Liu Bei immediately grabbed the knife from Zhang Fei and said, "Although the clothes are broken, they can still be mended. Can you continue if your hands and feet are broken? " This is a sentence, which is regarded as a mantra by members of the underworld in later generations.
The phrase "brothers are like brothers, women are like changing clothes" seems to be dross now, but in ancient times, men were superior to women, but it was extremely affectionate and righteous. After hearing this, Zhang Fei was deeply grateful and more loyal to Liu Bei. Finally, Liu Bei personally begged Lu Bu to get his wife and daughter back.
Liu Bei's virtue persuaded heroes from all walks of life to go to him, but maybe Liu Bei is not a talent after all. Since 22 1 proclaimed himself emperor, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei died in battle first. Liu Bei was heartbroken, refused to listen to Zhuge Liang's dissuasion, and persisted in the crusade against Wu Dong. Finally, Liu Bei failed.
This failure also symbolizes the overall decline of Shu Han. Liu Bei can't get sick because of this. In 223, when he was dying, he called his son Liu Chan to his side, but he only said one sentence: "Don't do evil, don't do good."
He didn't make his children emperor, nor did he say his regrets. What he said to his son before he died was shocking. This is a person who really carries out "virtue" to the last moment of his life. Even if he didn't become an emperor in the end, he set up an image of a better moral master than some emperors in the eyes of ordinary people. His dying entrustment has also been compiled into modern Chinese textbooks.
