Liu Bei entrusted Zhuge Liang with an orphan, not only because he valued Zhuge Liang's unparalleled ability, but also because of the tacit understanding and absolute trust that the two people had formed over many years. First of all, Liu Bei's love for talents is well known to the world. The ups and downs in the first half of his life were largely due to the fact that he did not have a capable counselor around him. After missing out on Tian Yu, Chen Qun, Xu Shu and other talents one after another, Zhuge Liang can be said to be his last hope. For Liu Bei, only by trusting Zhuge Liang unconditionally can he escape from the Three Kingdoms.
Looking at Zhuge Liang, he compares himself to Guan Zhong, and he is full of knowledge about the world and the world before he meets Liu Bei. The two people helped each other achieve success. Liu Bei gave him a platform, and he unreservedly displayed his talents. Guan Zhong was loyal to Duke Huan of Qi, and it was impossible for Zhuge Liang to do anything to disgrace Liu Bei, both emotionally and rationally. The relationship between the two of them has long gone beyond the relationship between an ordinary monarch and his ministers. Tuogu Baidi City
In 219 AD, Liu Bei launched an expedition to Soochow in order to avenge Guan Yu. As a result, in Yiling, Lu Xun's fire almost ruined the national destiny of Shu Han.
After Liu Bei was defeated, he led his army to retreat to Baidi City to garrison. This is actually a clever move, which can not only gather the defeated army and stabilize the morale of the army, but also frighten Soochow and prepare for the future.
In other words, even if he retreated to Baidi City, Liu Bei still looked forward to a chance to turn defeat into victory. However, things didn't go as planned. In April of the following year, Liu Bei suddenly fell seriously ill. When he was dying, he called Zhuge Liang from Chengdu and entrusted him in detail. "Three Kingdoms" records: In the spring of the third year of Zhang Wu, the former emperor died of illness in Yong'an. He summoned Liang to Chengdu. It was a later matter. He said to Liang: "The king is ten times more talented than Cao Pi. He will surely be able to stabilize the country and settle major events. If the heir can assist, If he is not talented, you can take it yourself." Liang cried and said, "I dare to devote all my strength and loyalty to the chastity, and then die!" The first master also issued an edict and said: "You and the others. The prime minister works like his father." After confirming his eyes, he met the right person
From three visits to the thatched cottage to the pacification of Yizhou, Zhuge Liang accompanied Liu Bei through almost the entire process from the trough to the peak. Zhuge Liang turned the tide many times and helped Liu Bei gradually become a true protagonist in the Three Kingdoms.
Along the way, the two people have known each other for a long time and have formed a profound revolutionary friendship. Just because they were so familiar with each other, their relationship had already surpassed that of an ordinary ruler and minister.
So, if anyone in the world understands Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang must have more say than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. The late master just said, "The king is ten times more talented than Cao Pi." If you were an ordinary minister, you might say that you would be loyal to the late master and stay in your own right.
But Zhuge Liang replied: "I dare to devote all my strength and loyalty to chastity, and then die!" In this sentence, there is both determination and courage to be a human being. First responsibility and responsibility.
This is the Zhuge Liang that Liu Bei knows and believes in, a Zhuge Liang who only cares about the country of Shu Han and never thinks about himself!
Back to the context at that time. Liu Bei knew that his time was short, so he called Zhuge Liang from Chengdu. Could it be that a dying old man called someone over from afar just to test the loyalty of his ministers, and finally told his son that he should "do things like his father".
No father can cheat his son like this, right? Judging from the later stories, Liu Chan did indeed "act like his father". Zhuge Liang died of illness in Wuzhangyuan, and used his life to fulfill the vow he made with Liu Bei. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang have the same minds, unparalleled in ancient and modern times
In 220 AD, Liu Feng fought with the Wei army, but lost Shangyong and ran back to apologize to Liu Bei. Zhuge Liang advised Liu Bei to kill Liu Feng. The reason he gave was: Feng was so fierce that it would be difficult to control him after the Yi Dynasty. ——"Three Kingdoms"
Liu Bei agreed. Yes, Liu Bei agreed. As the saying goes, you can't be close without distance. Zhuge Liang asked his father to kill his son in front of the old Liu family, and this son had repeatedly made military exploits and was quite prestigious. How good is our relationship before we dare to say that?
What's more, after Liu Bei killed Liu Feng, he never mentioned it again, as if it had never happened.
If Zhuge Liang hadn't been serving the public good without any selfish motives, if the two people hadn't trusted each other and had no grudges, would Liu Bei have allowed Zhuge Liang to interfere in his own household affairs like this? Essential empathy
Liu Bei is like a company boss. His biggest dream is to become the industry leader, but he keeps losing money due to poor management. The company was about to go bankrupt, and Zhuge Liang finally came, and from then on he was optimistic about the greatness of the family and the great cause of the company.
After finally gaining some grounding, I wanted to go head-to-head with my peers. As a result, I not only got hooked up with a bunch of old guys, but I almost ruined myself again. If the company is not regarded as an ideal and pursuit, who will take over this mess?
This is how Zhuge Liang accepted the order in the face of danger. He understood that "the country will be safe and major events will be settled" is the common pursuit of him and Liu Bei. And "If he is not talented, you can take it yourself" is the best footnote that for many years the two people have lived and died together without distinguishing each other.
