Liu Bei (161 - 223 June 10) was the later Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty. He reigned for three years. In the history books of the Three Kingdoms, he was also known as the First Lord, also known as Xuande.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was a native of Zhuo County, Zhuo Prefecture, Youzhou (now Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province). He was the descendant of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan in the Western Han Dynasty. He was the founding emperor and politician of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period.
In the third year of Zhangwu (Year 223), Liu Bei died of illness in White Emperor City at the age of 63.
In chapter 25," Battle between Liu and Cao to pacify Hanzhong ", Long Jiuxiao emphasized:
In the Battle of Hanzhong, Cao and Liu played chess, and Liu Bei won the game. In the end, Hanzhong was taken by Liu Bei, who became the King of Hanzhong.
Secretary Liu achieved a major victory, which was equivalent to the current war of liberation, pushing Shuhan Group to the peak of its career. Liu Bei was also granted the title of King of Hanzhong by Jin.
Liu Bei occupied Hanzhong and became the true King of Hanzhong, expanding his territory. It established the situation of the three countries.
Liu Bei had transformed from a defeated general into a military strategist. Liu Bei's strength had also reached the peak of his life.
Long Jiuxiao had even written a few poems to express his praise for the crucial victory in the Battle of Hanzhong. Interested friends can go and take a look.
In the Battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei had personally fought, and at Dingjun Mountain, Huang Zhong had killed Xiahou Yuan, the commander of Cao Cao's Western Legion, greatly boosting their morale.
In addition, there was a mistake in Cao Cao's rear. At the critical moment, there was a riot in Xuchang. Wang Bi died and Cao Cao was forced to retreat.
This was why he gave up Hanzhong, which led to Liu Bei taking Xichuan. Then, he pacified Hanzhong and became one of the great powers. He established the Shu Han regime and divided the world into three parts with Wei and Wu.
After Liu Bei's power reached its peak, he became a little complacent and arrogant. When he was full of himself, he made a big mistake in politics. In the end, he would personally destroy the Liu Corporation.
Long Jiuxiao had said before,"
Compared to his two ancestors, Liu Bei's ability was not just a little bit inferior. He could only look up to his back and did not dare to look up to him. Brother Bang and Brother Xiu had both completed the great cause of unification and unified the country. The big-eared imperial uncle only occupied Jing Yi at the peak.
However, Liu Bei was not convinced. He felt that if he could destroy Cao Wei and unify the rivers and mountains. In fact, his achievements were comparable to Brother Xiu's.
Who is Brother Xiu? Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty.
At the end of the new dynasty, the world was in chaos. As a relative of the Han clan, Liu Xiuyi took advantage of the situation and raised an army in Nanyang County.
Liu Xiu successively wiped out the independent regime in Guandong, Longyou, Xishu and other places, unified the country, and ended the nearly 20 years of warlord chaos and independent regime since the end of the new man.
In other words, Long Jiuxiao said,"
Originally, the Western Han Dynasty had lived for two hundred years and was about to be swallowed by Wang Mang, but Liu Xiu stepped forward and cut off the python, giving the Han Dynasty twice as much time to live. The Han Dynasty only had a history of more than 400 years.
In the history of the Celestial Empire, Liu Xiu was an enlightened monarch with achievements. He was full of confidence. Faced with the broken walls and broken mountains, he was diligent in national politics, reforming and opening up. Finally, the Eastern Han Dynasty recovered and developed from the ruins of scorched earth.
Now, the Eastern Han Dynasty had been destroyed by Cao Cao and then by Cao Pi. It was already on the verge of death, but someone had continued the life of the Han Dynasty. This person was Liu Bei. He established the Han Dynasty known as the Ji Han or Shu Han.
It was also commonly pronounced as "yu,shuāng, ru, zhu".
Attention, everyone! Liu Bei considered himself the orthodox Han Dynasty, so the name of the country was Han, not Shu. Therefore, when it came to the Liu regime, it could be said to be Shu Han, but not Shu Kingdom.
Only from the perspective of Wei and Wu would the opponent call Liu's Shu Han the Shu Kingdom.
Because if they called Liu Han, wouldn't it mean that they were liars and fakes? It was equivalent to admitting to the world that they had usurped the Han Dynasty and slapping themselves in the face.
The ancients often said: The world has virtuous people live there. The word 'De' referred to both a person's character and the luck bestowed by the heavens.
Only one of the conditions that met the fate was to meet the mutual restriction of the five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water.
The Han Dynasty was considered to be a fire by the Yi Confucians at that time.
Fire gave birth to earth, and the five elements of earth were yellow. Therefore, the first year of Cao Wei was Huang Chu. It was the beginning of the luck of Earth Virtue. It means that the country will last long.
He then looked at Liu Bei's year title, Zhang Wu. The word " Zhang " was used to show the meaning of Emperor Wu. As for whether it referred to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty or Emperor Guangwu, it was unclear.
From the meaning of the words, it told the world that I, Liu Bei, was the positive person who defended the Han Dynasty. Although I am the emperor, I have no intention of usurping the throne. I want to protect the Han Dynasty.
The ancients not only valued the five elements, but they also valued learning. In layman's terms, it was the Eight Trigrams.
Liu Bei's coronation was held at Wudan Mountain, which was located on the outskirts of Chengdu. He chose Wudan Mountain because it was northwest of Chengdu.
In the northwest direction of the Eight Trigrams was the "Qian" hexagram. The Qian hexagram was the first hexagram of the eighty-eight sixty-four hexagrams. It was pure Yang in nature and its number was nine, which was the highest number among the nine numbers. Nine was the supreme number that only the emperor and the Son of Heaven could use.
For example, the door nails in the Forbidden City were nine in each direction, a total of eighty-one, meaning that the royal family was supreme.
The Gong Prince's residence had a total of sixty-three door nails, nine in the vertical and seven in the horizontal.
When Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, he was already in his sixties. His opponent, Cao Cao, was already buried in the seventy-two escape formations of the Wonder Gate Tomb.
Seventy-two! It had been two thousand years since they were found, and it was enough to keep these experts busy.
Ah Man, you're so naughty! He could even hide the hot topic after becoming a ghost.
There was still a technical issue that Liu Bei had to resolve when he proclaimed himself emperor: The heavens must have an explanation.
It was to follow the destiny and not be judged by others.
Even the ancient emperors had a saying: Either a Qilin appeared here or a cloud floated there.
When someone fished out the Emperor's Jade Seal from the abyss at the bottom of the Han River. Zhuge Liang immediately understood. He wanted to be the emperor!
There was a prophecy from the Spring and Autumn Prophecy that had been circulating since the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty: "The person who replaced the Han Dynasty was Dangtu Gao."
For the past two hundred years, this phrase had been constantly explained and used by people.
This was because the word "Tu" had the meaning of "road". Therefore, in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was Gongsun Shu of Yizhou, and in the late years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was Yuan Shu and Yuan Gonglu. Both of them explained this sentence to themselves, because "Shu" and "Gonglu" both had the meaning of a road. He said that he was the person who replaced the Han Dynasty and could claim the title of emperor.
It turned out that their interpretation was not up to standard. The language was taught by the teacher on the phone.
In the prophecy, there was a character for "high" after "Tu". If Yuan Shu's character was not "highway" but "highway", he would be the real successor of Han.
In fact, the true meaning of this sentence had appeared a long time ago. It meant that Wei wanted to replace the Han Dynasty. Cao Pi fulfilled this prophecy.
In Cao Pi's camp, there was a Taishi Cheng called Xu Zhi who explained that the word " high " did not mean high level, but lofty and lofty. The word " Wei " meant lofty and lofty. Therefore, Cao Wei was the replacement of the Han Dynasty.
There was someone else who was more accurate and brilliant. That was Zhou Qun's father, Zhou Shu. He was from a family of prophecies, a native of Guanghan in Sichuan, and the disciple of Yang Hou, a servant of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Zhou Shu summarized the theories of his teacher and predecessors and accurately explained the prophecy. It meant that the person who replaced the Han Dynasty was Dangtu Gao.
Zhou Shu said," The platforms on both sides of the entrance of the Imperial Palace are tall and majestic. They are also on the main road. They are called the Elephant Wei and the Wei Que. Dangtu is Wei."
Who is Zhou Qun? A great expert in divination of the heavenly phase,
Before attacking Hanzhong, Liu Bei had even invited Zhou Qun to observe the astronomical phenomena at night.
Liu Bei understood that no one could refute the saying 'it is impossible to defy the will of the heaven'.
Moreover, Liu Xiu was a prophecy freak. As a descendant of the Liu royal family, genes were passed down from generation to generation. Liu Bei naturally had to show the genetic characteristics of his ancestors to the world.
Without the prophecy, Liu Bei would not have been able to become emperor.
Thus, Liu Bei also began to put on a show, asking Zhuge Liang to invite a large number of officials who were good at prediction to help.
This group of people racked their brains and worked hard day and night to search for information. He was just short of inviting Old Master Kong out of his grave. This was really not done by a human!
Long Jiuxiao had a deep understanding of this-it was tiring to search for history, to quote from classics, and to quote from various sources!
Everyone, don't forget to give tips, flowers, monthly votes, and support!
Lu Xun once said,"There is no evidence, but if you find more people, there will naturally be evidence."
Thus, the group of scholars began to ponder and organize the materials to find evidence.
The most convincing was the Book of Luo: "Red three days De Chang, nine generations will be prepared, combined into the emperor.”In other words, a dynasty with the fate of fire must experience three prosperous times. After several generations, a person called "Bei" would become the emperor.”
Then, everyone combined the earliest astronomical astrology and astrology of the Chinese Dynasty and focused on the astrological prediction text in the "Star Sutra":"The Han Dynasty is located in the west.""There must be a Son of Heaven."
Therefore, there was a saying that the right person would appear in the West! Liu Bei's dream of becoming emperor had come true.
Since the boss had proclaimed himself emperor, everyone's status would rise.
Zhuge Liang was the one who had the most benefits from this promotion. He was appointed by Liu Bei as the Prime Minister and was in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Zhang Fei was granted the title of General of Chariots and Cavalry, led by Si Li Colonel, and was granted the title of Marquis of Xixiang. Zhang Fei was the leader of the Shu Han army.
Liu Bei had fought hard all his life and gained the support of many talents. However, he could not be like Liu Bang and Liu Xiu, who could sweep away the heroes and unify the world. Instead, he was confined to Western Shu.
In terms of reputation and fame, Liu Bei had surpassed Brother Bang and Brother Xiu. However, in terms of his career and achievements, Liu Bei was far from being able to compare with the two heroic ancestors.
Even as a monarch, his ability, style, and strategic vision couldn't compare to Brother Bang and Brother Xiu!
Liu Bei became one of the great powers and established the Shu Han regime. Many people felt that Liu Bei's merits were complete. Even Prime Minister Zhuge Liang thought so.
However, Liu Bei did not think so. Liu Bei was far from satisfied with just one Shu Han. He wanted the world, the entire world, and he wanted to continue killing Cao Cao and Sun Quan. He proclaimed himself emperor and ruled the Han Dynasty three times, and his name was recorded in history.
If he was satisfied just like that. How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?
Not long after Liu Bei pacified Xichuan, Guan Yu lost Jingzhou because of his stubbornness.
Guan Yu's carelessness led to the loss of Jingzhou and the destruction of Guan Yu's army.
Liu Bei tore up the alliance agreement, causing his original ally Sun Quan to directly join Cao Wei's camp and attack from both sides.
July of the first year of Zhangwu (221 AD). Liu Bei initiated the Battle of Yiling to avenge Guan Yu, who had died in the line of duty for a year and a half.
It was a pity that the revenge army had suffered a crushing defeat in Yiling. When he was defeated on the verge of success and White Emperor City entrusted him with the task, Liu Bei was filled with regret and thought about the painful experience.
The two brothers that Liu Bei had taken in were very problematic: Shut down!
What did he mean?
Closing down meant closing down. How unlucky! Otherwise, Shuhan would have closed down after only three years!
Liu Bei passed away in White Emperor City and left the Shu Han Dynasty he had established. He followed Guan Zhong, Zhang Zhong, Ma Zhong, and Huang Zhong.
After sighing, Long Jiuxiao wrote a poem:
When the White Emperor cried blood, the dream of the peach garden was broken.
The loyal bones were buried in the green mountains, and the Shu Han Dynasty was full of regret.
Everyone, don't take it seriously again. The above is just what Long Jiuxiao casually recited. If there was any similarity, it was purely a coincidence!
The great river flows east, the waves wash away, he is a legendary figure.
Golden spears and iron horses, back then, they were like tigers that could swallow thousands of miles.
How many things in ancient and modern times, all put in a joke, right and wrong success or failure turned empty, a few sunset red.
