Whether Adou is a fool is a matter of opinion. After all, he is not a king who harms the people, does evil, or does anything arbitrarily. He is just a man who is greedy for pleasure, has no ambitions, and is mediocre. To say that he is a mediocre king is not a big deal. Not an exaggeration. Throwing away the foundation that the late master sacrificed his life and worked so hard for half a lifetime and lingering to survive, this alone makes him inferior to a minister with integrity. What is he but a mediocre king?

Speaking of Zhuge Liang, he is indeed a powerful minister, and all matters, big or small, are decided by him. It can be said that there are very few ministers with such power in Chinese history; Zhuge Liang is also a loyal man who can be learned from the sun and the moon. A loyal minister was ordered to do something in danger. In order to repay the kindness of his late lord, and to prolong the Shu-Han Kingdom, he dedicated his life to his death. What is this but a great loyal minister?

Adou is not even worthy of being called Hunjun! He pretends to be the king of a country, but he has no integrity at all: "The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country."

Zhuge Liang was a loyal minister, and his sincerity of "devoting himself to death" moved the world and became the eternity of history. A generation of descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties loved him because they sublimated a lofty professionalism from his achievements in reviving the Shu Han Dynasty when he was defeated and ordered to be in trouble.

(Liu Chan)

If you think that the Shu Han regime has remained standing during Liu Chan's forty years in power because of Liu Chan's political achievements, it is also because of Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Jiang Wan, and Fei During the forty years of his reign, he was actually a "hands-off shopkeeper" who fought against civil servants and generals such as Tao and Jiang Wei.

Is he unconscious? Don’t faint! He had long lost confidence in the "revolution" and had long asked himself: How long can the "Shu" flag last? Of course, in a sense, he was right to be concerned.

But as the successor designated by the First Lord, we should inherit the legacy of the First Lord and carry the revolution to the end!

Perhaps the First Master had an ominous premonition that this doll might "go against my last wishes and even lose the family business (Jiangshan Sheji)" in the future, so he made it clear that Zhuge Liang could "replace it if necessary!"

(Baidicheng Tuogu)

In order to repay the kindness of the former lord, and at the same time understand the thrilling instructions of the former lord Baidi City Tuogu, Zhuge Liang may have a sense of urgency, so in In the grim situation of rebellions just after Liu Chan took the throne, he adopted the strategy of "suppression and appeasement, kindness and power" to quickly quell the rebellion, and after a short period of preparation, he started five consecutive Northern Expeditions.

Zhuge Liang wanted to risk his life to capture Xuchang, complete the mission of the Northern Expedition, and comfort his late lord.

What did Liu Chan think?

Please see Liu Chan's letter of surrender to Deng Ai, according to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms. "Book of Shu Three" later the main biography: "Limited to divide Jiang and Han, the steps are along the Shu Shi, fight to the death, and the luck is in danger..."

Let me simply translate it in vernacular: Because of the barrier between the Yangtze River and the Han River, we Shu Han were like living huddled in a bucket of rice, violating our destiny. Year after year, when I just came to the throne, Emperor Wen (Cao Pi) issued me gentle and intimate edicts and gave me instructions. There was no way out, but I was ignorant and incompetent, coveting the throne left by my father, and lived in poverty for many years without obeying the instructions. Now the army in the court has become more powerful, and both men and gods have the principle of doing good and respect the majesty of the royal army. .....

I asked my subordinates to put down their weapons, take off their armor, and protect all the assets in the official treasury. .... I knelt on the ground and thought about Wei Boen's rescue... ....The gift of life and death is yours to judge. I carry the coffin to surrender. ......

(The image of Liu Chan's son Liu Chen)

At this time, Jiang Wei was fighting fiercely in Jiange. He still had tens of thousands of troops, enough to return to Chengdu, and the troops in the south The troops have not yet begun to reinforce King Qin, and the battle situation is promising. Unfortunately, Jiang Wei can only chop stones with his sword to vent his disappointment!

Therefore, Adou is a piece of mud who cannot hold up the wall, a rebellious person who surrenders to the enemy.

About Zhuge Liang

It is true that he is the top military and political leader. Can Liu Chan have any clever tricks? No historical record. Therefore, it is Zhuge Liang's consistent style to do everything by himself. However, the consequences of this are physical harm to himself, so the prime minister will not be alive for long.

Zhuge Liang's fatal mistake was not to equip Guan Yu with a loyal and capable assistant to help guard Nanjun, which was of course an accommodation to Guan Yu.

Zhuge Liang united the cadres of all three factions in Shu, appointed Jiang Wan to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and appointed the stable Wang Ping.

He is not only a model of feudal morality, but also the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces with outstanding political wisdom and military ability.

He is not called a powerful minister like Huo Guang, he is a loyal minister through the ages!

No. A person like Zhao Gou. Knowing that the power of Shu was not strong, the Northern Expedition achieved nothing. But people's hearts can be used, and the Prime Minister of Shu is a great talent, so let him go. Moreover, the story of "Le Bu Si Shu" shows that the city is deep and has mastered the black arts. It is the smartest way to protect yourself! Zhuge Cheng was not a powerful minister, and a powerful minister could control the sky with one hand, but he could not touch Huang Hao, and he also respected the opinions of the later master in some personnel arrangements. "Powerful minister" is a neutral term, and it is inappropriate to use it on great people.

According to some historical records in "Three Kingdoms", it can be judged that Adou was not completely a faint king, and Zhuge Liang was a loyal minister. Let's discuss it here.

Zhuge Liang is a loyal minister. Zhuge Liang adhered to Confucianism, and even if he had extremely high power, he would not dare to take the throne as emperor. In the Yong'an entrustment of the former Lord Liu Bei, especially the sentence "If he is not talented, you can take it for yourself", you can feel Liu Bei's trust in Zhuge Liang, and even gave Zhuge Liang extremely high power, and Zhuge Liang also expressed his extremely high power. Great loyalty, devoted himself to the cause of Shuhan. In fact, since the Battle of Chibi, Zhuge Liang has done more "logistics" work, which seems to have been "forgotten" by the First Master, but he is still conscientious. Although Zhuge Liang seemed to have centralized power when assisting Liu Chan, according to Pei Songzhi's annotation of "Three Kingdoms", we can also understand that Zhuge Liang was entrusted by the late king, and secondly, Liu Chan, who was underage, was not familiar with administrative affairs, so he took charge of the overall situation. . His original intention has not changed, and he wants to restore the political system of the early Han Dynasty. So Zhuge Liang is a loyal minister.

Regarding Adou, everyone is deceived by the saying "Adou cannot be helped", and they all think that he is incompetent and has low intelligence. In fact, Zhuge Liang once commented that Liu Chan was "very intelligent" and said that he was very smart. The expression may be a bit exaggerated, but Liu Chan was still talented. After Zhuge Liang's death, Liu Chan abolished the prime minister system, appointed Jiang Wan as the Grand Sima, and Fei Yi as the General. The roles of the two overlapped and checked each other, which reflected Liu Chan's talents. Of course, he still did a lot of stupid things. He trusted and favored villains and surrendered without a fight. After the country was subjugated, he even made a joke about being happy to miss Shu when he arrived in Luoyang. Therefore, Liu Chan is talented and not a complete fool.

To sum up, Zhuge Liang is a loyal minister; for Adou, we need to see his mediocre side and at the same time affirm his talented side.

Adou is not a foolish king, Zhuge Liang is a loyal minister. This is a big principle. The specific reasons are as follows:

Among all the people who proclaimed themselves emperors in the Three Kingdoms, Liu Chan reigned the longest (223-263) for a total of 40 years. A man who faced internal and external troubles could sit firmly on the throne for 40 years. Will a young person become a foolish king?

The later master Liu Chan was loyal, filial, righteous, broad-minded, and tolerant of others. He followed Liu Bei's last words, highly respected and valued Zhuge Liang, and called him his father-in-law. He had overall military and political power, and all matters were decided by the prime minister.

Zhuge Liang made several Northern Expeditions. Although Liu Chan did not agree with it, he still fully supported it and showed respect for his father. At the same time, it can be seen that Liu Chan's mind was very clear. He realized the national power of Shu Han and the There is a gap between Cao and Wei, so I don’t agree with the Northern Expedition. It wastes people and money, and the gain outweighs the gain! The reason why he did not stop the Northern Expedition was that Liu Chan knew that if the emperor and his ministers were not in harmony, there would be civil strife. Can you say that he was a person with low IQ?

The later master Liu Chan treated his ministers well. Because he lived a luxurious and corrupt life, the veteran Dong Yun wrote a letter. Liu Chan had no choice but to restrain himself and correct himself. He did not kill his ministers, but treated them with tolerance. This kind of cultivation is really beyond the reach of ordinary emperors.

Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Chan for 11 years. After the death of his father-in-law, Liu Chan served as emperor for another 30 years with the assistance of wise ministers. He continued to implement some good policies and measures formulated by Zhuge Liang during his lifetime and abolished the prime minister. System, Fei Yi was appointed as Shangshu Ling, General, and Jiang Wan was appointed as Grand Sima. One was in charge of military affairs and the other was in charge of government affairs. They overlapped and restrained each other. The power of military affairs and internal affairs was no longer held by one person, and a new personnel appointment system was created. It reflects Liu Chan's political wisdom and ability.

When Western Shu fell, Liu Chan chose to surrender in order to protect the safety of the people in the city, because if he resisted, on the one hand, there would be a disparity in strength, and on the other hand, Cao Wei would massacre the city. Would rather be humiliated than to protect the common people. This is a kind of great love, great virtue, and great courage!

In conclusion, as mentioned above, Liu Chan, the later master, is not a foolish king.

Then, Zhuge Liang is not a powerful official!

In order to repay Liu Bei's favor of visiting the thatched cottage three times, Zhuge Liang named the Eight Formations, which contributed to three parts of the country. The hymn of life of loyalty, filial piety, propriety, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and trust has become a model respected by all people in future generations.

Although there is a historical fact that "no matter how big or small everything is, everything depends on the prime minister", it is all for the long-term peace and stability of the Shu Han Dynasty. He governed the country well, worked diligently and loved the people, and always strived to achieve the ideal goal of the unification of the Han Dynasty. And strive unremittingly. He regarded Liu Chan as his own son, teaching him earnestly, teaching him every step of the way, and assisting him carefully. Adhere to the way of being a minister, be high-spirited and upright, and have the breeze on your sleeves.

As prime minister, Zhuge Liang had all the power in the government and the opposition, but he did not replace him. Instead, he worked hard to assist his successor Liu Chan, which embodies the word "loyalty".

Isn’t such a person considered a loyal minister?

I think it is a loyal minister, not a powerful minister. Loyal ministers are for the country, and powerful ministers are for themselves!

The above is my answer. If you have any different opinions, please comment and exchange!

Adou is neither a foolish king nor a mediocre king, while Zhuge Liang is a powerful minister and a loyal minister. This is Zhi Changrong's point of view.

Adou's qualifications were mediocre. After Zhuge Liang's death, he abolished the position of prime minister and let the generals Jiang Wan and Fei Yi cooperate to rule. This purpose is obviously to show that he wants to intervene in the specific affairs of Shu Han. Especially after Jiang Wan rested for several years, he specifically ordered Jiang Wan to prepare for the Northern Expedition. This shows that he wanted to take charge.

The problem is that after this guy worked for a few years, he found that he was too tired, so he was too lazy to do it, and threw it back to Fei Yi, Dong Yun, Chen Yi and others.

From this perspective, his qualifications are indeed mediocre, but he is not stupid.

Why do you say that? He had a rare trust in his subordinates that ancient emperors had. Many emperors were very high-level and capable, but did not trust their subordinates. The most typical one was Xiang Yu. Of course, there were also those who blindly trusted their subordinates and led to civil strife. The most typical example was Emperor Wu of Liang. With Hou Jing.

Liu Chan is good at this. When Zhuge Liang was in power, he did not interfere too much. Later, when Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and others came to power, he did not interfere too much. When Jiang Wei came to power, he did not interfere too much with Jiang Wei. There was some distrust, so Huang Hao was used to restrain Jiang Wei, but he did not take the initiative to target Jiang Wei, and just maintained a balance of power.

Another thing that makes him mediocre is that after Zhuge Liang's death, he only selected talents from aristocratic families, which led to the decline of talents in the late Shu Han Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang was a powerful minister because he led Yizhou as a pastor. At that time, the only territory the Shu Han had was in this state. In short, Zhuge Liang was the one who was in charge at that time. Therefore, such a sentence often appears in historical books such as "Three Kingdoms" and "Zi Zhi Tong Jian": The government came from Ge family.

After Zhuge Liang died, Sun Quan asked, can you handle it now that Zhuge Liang is gone? This also highlights Zhuge Liang's power. The deaths or dethronements of the characters recorded in "The Biography of Liu Peng, Liao Li, Liu Wei and Yang" may or may not be related to Zhuge Liang. This can be regarded as Zhuge Liang's black material created by Chen Shou.

It is true that Zhuge Liang is a powerful minister, but he is also loyal to Shu Han. What is his main appearance?

Li Yan once suggested that he add Jiuxi, which was actually a prelude to the powerful officials seizing the throne, but Zhuge Liang refused. As for Zhuge Liang's title, he did not have the title of Duke or King, only Marquis. This is also a sign of Zhuge Liang's loyalty.

Zhuge Liang was honest throughout his life and restrained his children. These are all signs of a loyal minister.

Therefore, there is no conflict between loyal ministers and powerful ministers.

Another loyal minister was Sima Yi. In the end, he did not let Wei add nine tins to him, and he also did not make him a prince. The problem was that his descendants finally won the throne of Wei on his basis. Therefore, Sima Yi's image in later generations is no longer that of a loyal minister.

History is indeed a coincidence. If Zhuge Liang's son had already reached adulthood when he died, or if his stepson Zhuge Qiao had not died, perhaps no one knows how history would have gone.

Just like Wang Mang does not seize the throne, he is probably another Huo Guang-like figure. When a powerful minister takes that step, he is no longer a loyal minister. If he does not step out, he will naturally become a loyal minister.

Zhi Changrong has written quite a lot of analytical articles on the theme of the Three Kingdoms. If you are interested, you can find them yourself.

I am a history eater, and I am very honored to answer your questions.

Whether a monarch is a coward or not depends first on whether he has the final say. If you say it, it doesn't count, and you won't be able to express it even if you want to faint. Adou not only had the final say in the Zhuge Liang era, but also in the eras of Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and Dong Yun. It was not until the era of Jiang Wei and Chen Zhuan that Adou gradually became pro-government and began to have the final say. The final say at this time was only relatively speaking, and more importantly, he did not brutalize the people. In short, Adou cannot be classified as a faint king. I feel like this guy really isn't that interested in running the country.

As for Zhuge Liang's problem, there seems to be no contradiction between powerful ministers and loyal ministers. He holds great military and political power, so there is no way to say that he is not a powerful minister; if he is not a loyal minister, I can only ask what is a loyal minister?

Introduction: Among all the people who proclaimed themselves emperors in the Three Kingdoms, Liu Chan reigned the longest for a total of 40 years. Would a man who had been troubled internally and externally and sat on the throne for 40 years be a fool? Liu Chan

Liu Chan (shàn) (207-271), the empress of the Shu Han Dynasty, was given the courtesy name Gongsi and nicknamed Adou. The son of Emperor Zhaolie Liu Bei, his mother was Queen Zhaolie Gan, the second emperor of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period. He suffered many hardships when he was young, but was saved twice by General Zhao Yun. After Liu Bei settled in Yizhou, he entered Shu. After the Shu Han was established, he was established as the prince. He succeeded to the throne as emperor in 223 AD and reigned for forty-two years. During this period, he worshiped Zhuge Liang as his father-in-law and supported Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition. Later in his reign, he favored Huang Hao, which caused the Shu Han to gradually weaken.

In the sixth year of Jingyao (263 years), Wei general Deng Ai entered from Yinping, defeated Mianzhu, killed Zhuge Zhan and his son, and Liu Chan surrendered. After the fall of the Shu Han Dynasty, Liu Chan and some Shu Han ministers were moved to Luoyang and were named An Le Gong. They later died in Luoyang. He was 64 years old. His posthumous title was Si Gong. In the late Western Jin Dynasty, after Liu Yuan's uprising, Liu Chan was posthumously named Emperor Xiaohuai.

Is Adou a foolish king?

Anyone who has read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" knows that Liu Chan is the son of Liu Bei, nicknamed "Adou", who is also the later Emperor of Shu, Liu Houzhu. The reason why he is called the Houzhu is Because the Shu Han regime was destroyed in his generation, Liu Chan himself also surrendered to the Wei State, and he made the eternal joke of "luckily miss Shu".

I think everyone will gnash their teeth every time they read the Three Kingdoms, scolding this unsatisfactory "Adou", blind in vain. When you were still in your infancy, Uncle Zhao Zilong of Changshan "Seven Advances" in Changbanpo "Seven Out" saved you from a million troops; it was in vain that your father Liu Huangshu returned from the Eastern Expedition and was defeated. When he was dying, he was left alone in Baidi City; it was in vain that Zhuge Fu worked hard, set an example of a "model worker", and died of exhaustion. The housekeeping has been taken care of for you.

Although Zhuge Liang's eldest son Zhuge Zhan died in the battle, the situation has not yet become uncontrollable. Liu Chan can just wait for reinforcements and wait for Jiang Wei's army to come back, and then, there will be no more. It's just pitiful that Jiang Wei was still plotting a rebellion to restore the country when he was dying.

So back to our question - is Liu Chan really a piece of mud, "A Dou who cannot be helped"?

In fact, this is not necessarily the case. According to historical records, Zhuge Liang died in 234 AD, and the Shu Kingdom was destroyed in 263 AD. This means that after Zhuge Liang’s death, Liu Chan remained the emperor for 29 years. Although Liu Chan was mediocre Incompetent, but not a complete fool. Liu Chan has been in power for 41 years, but he is still very good at it.

The later master Liu Chan was loyal, filial, righteous, broad-minded, and tolerant of others. He followed Liu Bei's last words, highly respected and valued Zhuge Liang, and called him his father-in-law. He had overall military and political power, and all matters were decided by the prime minister.

Zhuge Liang made several Northern Expeditions. Although Liu Chan did not agree with it, he still fully supported it and showed respect for his father. At the same time, it can be seen that Liu Chan's mind was very clear. He realized the national power of Shu Han and the There is a gap between Cao and Wei, so I don’t agree with the Northern Expedition. It wastes people and money, and the gain outweighs the gain! The reason why he did not stop the Northern Expedition was that Liu Chan knew that if the emperor and his ministers were not in harmony, there would be civil strife. Can you say that he was a person with low IQ?

The later master Liu Chan treated his ministers well. Because he lived a luxurious and corrupt life, the veteran Dong Yun wrote a letter. Liu Chan had no choice but to restrain himself and correct himself. He did not kill his ministers, but treated them with tolerance. This kind of cultivation is really beyond the reach of ordinary emperors.

Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Chan for 11 years. After the death of his father-in-law, Liu Chan served as emperor for another 30 years with the assistance of wise ministers. He continued to implement some good policies and measures formulated by Zhuge Liang during his lifetime and abolished the prime minister. System, Fei Yi was appointed as Shangshu Ling, General, and Jiang Wan was appointed as Grand Sima. One was in charge of military affairs and the other was in charge of government affairs. They overlapped and restrained each other. The power of military affairs and internal affairs was no longer held by one person, and a new personnel appointment system was created. It reflects Liu Chan's political wisdom and ability.

When Western Shu fell, Liu Chan chose to surrender in order to protect the safety of the people in the city, because if he resisted, on the one hand, there would be a disparity in strength, and on the other hand, Cao Wei would massacre the city. Would rather be humiliated than to protect the common people. This is a kind of great love, great virtue, and great courage!

To sum up, Liu Chan, the later master, is not a foolish king. Is Zhuge Liang a powerful minister or a loyal minister?

Is Zhuge Liang also a powerful minister? The answer is of course yes, and this matter has to start before Liu Bei's death. In February of the third year of Emperor Zhangwu of the Shu Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, who had returned from the defeated Soochow expedition, became seriously ill and urgently summoned Zhuge Liang to Yong'an Palace to discuss his funeral.

There is no better son than a father. Liu Bei and even the prince Liu Chan are of low talent and young age, so they may not be able to control the complex situation, so he said to Zhuge Liang: "With only ten times Cao Pi, he will surely be able to secure the country and finalize major events. If The heir can help, but if he is not talented, you can take it yourself. '' Zhuge Liang cried and said: ''I dare to devote all my strength and loyalty to the chastity, and then die!" This is the famous Baidi City. Tuogu.

Later, Liu Bei issued two edicts, one of which "entrusted the orphan to the prime minister Liang, and the minister ordered Li Yan to be his deputy"; the other asked the prince Liu Chan to "work with the prime minister, just like his father."

After Liu Bei's death, Prince Liu Chan ascended the throne, and Zhuge Liang was granted the title of Marquis of Wuxiang. .

After Zhuge Liang became a powerful official in the Shu Han Dynasty, he did not make Li Yan his deputy according to Liu Bei's wishes, but asked him to guard Yong'an, which actually excluded him from the highest decision-making level of the Wei court at that time. The ministers of the state wrote directly to Zhuge Liang, "Chen Tian ordered the personnel and wanted to make the whole country a vassal." It can be seen that in the eyes of the Wei people, Zhuge Liang was the emperor behind the Shu Han.

Even the emperor of the Shu Han, Liu Chan. It goes like this: "Government is governed by the Ge family, and sacrifices are governed by the few." "This shows the great power of Zhuge Liang. Although Zhuge Liang has monopolized power, he is different from other powerful officials. He did not cultivate his son to succeed like Cao Cao, nor did he establish his own power like Sima Yi. He devoted himself only to the existence and development of Shu Han. .

Li Yan once wrote to Zhuge Liang, urging him to "accept Jiuxi and become a king." As we all know, when Cao Cao and his son seized the throne of the Han Dynasty, they followed this process and added Jiuxi. , then proclaimed himself king, and finally usurped the throne. Zhuge Liang did not answer Li Yan directly, but said: "I was a corporal from Dongfang, and I mistakenly used the title of the former emperor, and the ministers were rewarded with tens of billions. Now I have failed to fight against the thieves, and my confidant has not answered. But Fang dotes on Qi and Jin, and it is not right to sit on one's own noble throne. "

Zhuge Liang also said in the letter: "If Wei Zhanrui is destroyed, the emperor returns to his former residence and is promoted together with his disciples, even if he can accept ten lives, it will be worse than nine evils. "In fact, Zhuge Liang used this to show that he only wanted to devote himself to the Shu Han regime until his death, and did not care about his personal fame and wealth. Zhuge Liang proved his loyalty with actions, and eventually died in the Northern Expedition, making future generations admire him.

Summary: People always have many sides. Even sages like Zhuge Liang will have a less glorious side. Therefore, whether you look at history or people in reality, you must be dialectical. If you only see the good or the bad, it is easy to be blinded.

Adou, also known as Liu Chan, has been criticized as a fool since ancient times. This is an undeniable fact. The only thing he did right in his life was to remember his father Liu Bei's legacy and reuse Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang never wavered in his life.

In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Chan has a certain magic. Colorful. When he was born, the room was filled with red light, and there were cranes singing in celebration; Zhao Zilong charged at Cao Jun's camp, and even his men and horses fell into a pit, and it was only because of the red light emitted from Liu Chan's body that he was able to survive. Retreat. According to the popular saying in ancient times, people who are born strange must have visions. When Liu Bang was sleeping, he was protected by a real dragon. When Sun Quan was born, his mother dreamed that the moon fell into her arms. From this, Liu Chan would definitely have something in his future. An extraordinary encounter. But in the end, he ascended to the throne relying on the merits of his father Liu Bei, but his subsequent performance did not have any bright spots. In the later period, he even favored the eunuchs and corrupted the government, which ultimately led to the demise of the Shu Han. After surrendering to Cao Wei, there was even a saying at the banquet: "If you are happy here, don't miss Shu". Isn't such a monarch a faint king?

As for Zhuge Liang, he has been a loyal minister since ancient times. It is difficult to distinguish important ministers from powerful ministers because they often look almost identical. They hold the same power and act arbitrarily, so that the monarch has to give in and compromise in some aspects. The most intuitive examples are Huo Guang in the Western Han Dynasty and Cao Cao in the Eastern Han Dynasty. , Zhuge Liang of the Shu Han Dynasty, and Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty. All four of them held high positions in the court at that time, and even had their own party forces. When they were in power, the reigning emperors had almost no voice. Look, there is really not much difference.

However, if you look at the results, the difference is obvious. Huo Guang was devoted to the Han Dynasty, and although there was a lot of talk about abolishing the establishment, he was selfless. , is a loyal minister, and Cao Cao is almost a representative of powerful ministers. Although he contributed to the restoration and development of the Central Plains when he took power, he also had the intention to help the country, but in the end it was only for his own family's achievements, not for the Han family. country.

After his death, his son Cao Pi almost couldn't wait to depose the Han Emperor and take control of the country. There was almost no turmoil in the court. This was the foundation laid by Cao Cao.

As for Zhuge Liang, since Liu Bei's death, he has almost shouldered the responsibility of Shu Han. Whether it was military politics or ordinary civil affairs, he personally took care of everything. His prime minister's palace has almost the same status as Liu Chan's palace. He himself also mentioned in "Shi Shi Biao" that "the palace and the palace are all integrated, and there should be no similarities or differences." And the ministers of the later Shu Han Dynasty, such as Guo Youzhi and Fei Yi, Dong Yun, etc. are almost all close friends and disciples of Zhuge Liang. When he was in power, the people in Shu only knew about the prime minister, but they did not know that there was an emperor. However, all his efforts were devoted to helping this weak country develop and become stronger, and finally realizing Liu Bei's ideal of "restoring the Han Dynasty". After Zhuge Liang's death, his family had no money left, and his descendants did not have any important titles or positions. From this aspect alone, it is enough to prove Kong Ming's loyalty.

"Three visits to trouble the world, two dynasties to open up the heart of an old minister." Such an old minister who devoted himself to death cannot be tarnished.

(Full text ends)

Liu Chan, the empress of the Shu Han Dynasty, was neither a faint king nor a wise king. He could only be regarded as a middle-class king. Zhuge Liang, a generation of advisers, experienced the two dynasties of Liu Bei and Liu Chan and his father and son. He held a high position, was powerful in the world, and was prominent in two dynasties. Therefore, Zhuge Liang was not only a loyal minister who loyal to the king and the country, but also a powerful minister of the Shu Han Dynasty.
