After the Battle of Yiling, the strength of the Shu state was greatly weakened, and the defeated Liu Bei also fell ill and bedridden
。 Eventually, he died of illness in the White Emperor City, and another thing happened in the White Emperor City at that time, that is, Liu Bei Bai Emperor City entrusted the lone Zhuge Liang. In the story of the rulers of the past dynasties, only Liu Beibai Emperor Chengguo's name has been immortalized, why? At that time, Liu Bei instructed Zhuge Liang that if Liu Chan did not have the talent of a wise lord, he hoped that Zhuge Liang would establish himself as king and become the ruler of the Shu state. This last words really shocked everyone present at the time.
Liu Bei's hypocrisy
However, this also fully shows Liu Bei's hypocrisy, and the kings of the dynasties have a person who is really willing to pass on his imperial throne to a person who is not related to himself? It's impossible.
Therefore, Liu Bei's words were only said to Zhuge Liang, and he did not really hope that Zhuge Liang would do so.
If Liu Bei had said these words sincerely, he would have directly deposed Liu Chan and established Zhuge Liang, let alone Left Li Yan and Wei Yan to restrain Zhuge Liang. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to analyze Liu Bei's hypocrisy from this point.
Ingenious
What happened to Wei Yan and Li Yan, the two men left by Liu Bei to restrain Zhuge Liang?
Li Yan is the boss of the Yizhou faction camp, this person is unruly, strong in character, and decisive in handling things, and he is also very smart
At that time, Liu Bei chose him as a courtier who restrained Zhuge Liang, but unfortunately, Zhuge Liang was clever and calculating, how could this Li Yan fight him? At that time, Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Li Yan as a minister who supervised the transportation of grain and grass, but because of the unfavorable handling of the work to shirk responsibility, later Zhuge Liang found evidence, Li Yan could not argue, and finally only one death.
General of the North
Liu Bei left Behind to restrain Zhuge Liang, in addition to Li Yan, there was also the military general Wei Yan. Wei Yan was a person who Zhuge Liang did not like from the beginning, and when Liu Bei got Changsha County, Zhuge Liang had killed Wei Yan.
Later, in the Northern Expedition, although Wei Yan made many operational suggestions, Zhuge Liang did not adopt them
。 Although Liu Bei attached great importance to Wei Yan, he asked him to guard Hanzhong and made him a general in the north, second only to the Five Tigers General of the Shu State.
Sum up
His final result was still dismal, and he was framed and killed by Yang Yi under Zhuge Liang. Although many people have known about the contradiction between Yang Yi and Wei Yan, and have also discussed why Zhuge Liang ignored this matter, the mystery is that when Liu Beituo was lonely, he chose to let Wei Yan restrain him. Although Liu Bei sent two people to be killed by Zhuge Liang,
However, Zhuge Liang's loyalty was enough to make Liu Bei deeply pleased.
