Chapter 75 Three Losses and Two Invitations

[Wenchen will not talk too much, because we will talk about many of them later in the video. Next, we will look at the main hall.

Now that we have come to Wuhou Temple, of course we have to pay our respects to Liu Bei!

The main hall of Zhaolie Temple is guarded by the Civilian Gallery and the Military General Gallery.

The center is dedicated to Emperor Zhaolie Liu Bei, the right is dedicated to Northern King Liu Chen, and the left is dedicated to a piece of rotten wood. 】

Dead wood?

Liu Chen on one side and Kuchiki on the other? Liu Bei suddenly had a guess in his mind.

But Liu Bei temporarily forced himself not to think about that possibility, because in the light screen, Wen Mang was already speaking in a cadence.

[Since it is the main temple of Emperor Zhaolie, we might as well talk about it in terms of seniority.

First of all, worship Emperor Zhaolie! 】

When everyone saw the young man appearing in the light screen, he showed no sign of laughter and solemnly bowed his hands in front of the statue of Liu Bei.

There were not many tourists like this young man, either with their hands folded or with their hands clasped together, without making any noise or running around, giving the Jihan monarch a peaceful respect.

In this silence, Wen Mang's voice sounded again:

[We have already introduced too much about Emperor Zhaolie, and I believe that from Taoyuan's sworn friendship to Baidi Tuogu, most friends know better than the UP master.

Therefore, the next protagonist is: Emperor Huai of the Shu Han Dynasty: Liu Chan.

But it's a pity that we don't have a statue of Adou here today, only a piece of rotten wood.

It seems that nothing was said, but it seems that everything was said. 】

Liu Bei and other monarchs and ministers looked at this piece of rotten tree root in silence.

Is this the silent evaluation that later generations would have for Liu Bei's son, the king of Shu Han?

Moreover, the posthumous title is Huai. Even though Liu Bei did not study the meaning of the posthumous title, he also knew that the person who forced Qu Yuan to death was King Huai of Chu.

What kind of posthumous title could this be?

And who doesn’t understand Kuchiki? Confucius said: Rotten wood cannot be carved, and a wall of dung cannot be demolished.

I'm afraid if I hadn't considered that this was his ancestral temple, my descendants might really want to build a wall of dung!

[Let’s start with this piece of rotten wood. Of course there was Liu Chan in Zhaolie Temple in the earliest days.

There is a saying that Liu Chan's surrender was a great achievement in preventing the destruction of life in Chengdu, so the people of Chengdu actually respected him very much.

But in fact, the sentence "The poor queen returns to the temple" in "Ascend the High" by Du Fu, the poet saint of the Tang Dynasty, shows that the statue of Liu Chan was thrown out at least once before the Tang Dynasty.

After the Tang Dynasty invited Liu Chan's statue back, during the Qingli period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the governor of Yizhou followed the popular voice and threw Liu Chan out again.

During the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, the statue of Liu Chan was invited back again, and then Liu Chan was thrown out by the people of Chengdu when the Zhaolie Temple was rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, the people were afraid that Liu Bei would be too lonely, so they invited Liu Chen, the king of the North, to stay with him in Zhaolie Temple, which eventually became the layout we see today.

In ancient times, when emperors ascended the throne, ministers were granted three concessions. Even though Adou managed to get three concessions and two concessions at Zhaolie Temple, he was unable to come back in the end. 】

Is it so complicated just to get in and out? !

Liu Bei couldn't help but understand how unpopular his son was:

Each time, the officials at the time invited him back, and then he was invited out by the people.

But why did you specifically invite Liu Chen to accompany you in worship? Liu Bei looked at the statue of his grandson.

[Just like these three losses and two invitations, Liu Chan's own controversy has not subsided to this day.

However, some parts are generally recognized. For example, Liu Chan strictly abides by the Prime Minister's "Chu Shi Biao" and uses all the generals recommended by the "Chu Shi Biao".

Under such circumstances, the government was managed appropriately. For example, during the Wei Yan Incident after the death of the prime minister, Jiang Wan and Dong Yun were fully consulted before issuing orders. 】

What exactly is the content of "The Master's Guide"? Everyone was confused.

The fourteen generals also specifically clicked on Xiang Chong's name to see his disciples.

In the words that have passed by before, some younger generations lamented that they only hope to continue to be mentors. What is the content?

Can the Kingdom of Shu be governed with just one "Shi Shi Biao"?

Faced with everyone's curiosity, Kong Ming could only shake his head. He was the military advisor and general Zhuge Liang, not Zhuge Kongming, the prime minister of Ji Han!

[However, after Fei Yi was assassinated, the talent pool for military advisors was completely exhausted, and Liu Chan began to favor the eunuch Huang Hao, which was a source of trouble.

Chen Shou, the author of the Three Kingdoms, took advantage of his personal grudges to comment on Chen Zhi, the minister of state at that time, who "received the chief command at the top and the eunuch at the bottom" and commented that Yan Yu, the general on the right, "compared with Hao Xie".

In the sixth year of Jingyao's reign (263), Jiang Wei discovered that Zhong Hui was training troops in Guanzhong, so Liu Chan, Shangshu, suggested dispatching troops and generals to prepare early.

But... "Hao Zheng believed in ghosts and witches, saying that the enemy would never come to his own devices, and Qi Hou was responsible for sleeping with him, but the officials didn't know about it."

Huang Hao found a few masters who performed divination, and after divination, he believed that the enemy would not come and reassured Liu Chan. He did not even tell the officials about this.

And the famous God of War Luo Xian, who used the isolated city to defend Wu for half a year after the fall of Shu. Such a figure was denounced simply because he did not rely on Huang Hao. 】

Do you really rely on a "Shi Shi Biao" to govern the Kingdom of Shu?

Liu Bei's anger was already rising, and Liu Bei felt that he was ready for how stupid his son was.

But after hearing "favored eunuchs" I still felt a little dizzy, and when it came to "confessing ghosts and witches... the officials don't know", I felt my eyes turned black and I almost fell to the ground.

Kong Ming, who was reminded by Huang Yueying, had already supported Zhao Yun together.

"How dare you, Mr. Shu! The lesson learned by the Ten Constant Attendants only lasts for a few decades. Do you want to make the same mistake again?"

It's a pity that no matter how furious Liu Bei is, he still knows that he can't interfere with what has happened in that time and space, so he can only close his eyes in pain.

Looking at Liu Bei who looked like a corpse, Zhang Fei hurriedly stepped forward and suggested:

"Brother, why don't you let me lead the army tonight..."

"What's the use!" Liu Bei was not stupid, and thought very clearly: "He is not stupid, but incompetent!"

"He relied on Kong Ming in the front and four prime ministers in the back! After the four prime ministers died, he favored eunuchs and believed in witchcraft. There has never been such a monarch in the four hundred years since the founding of the Han Dynasty!"

Liu Bei's words were quite serious, and Zhang Fei was shocked:

"Brother, Adou is still young..."

"Yes, brother, Adou is only four years old now, but it is possible to let Adou admire the style of Emperor Hanwu!" Guan Yu also advised.

Liu Bei waved his hands tiredly: "I have nothing to do... Hmm? What is the light curtain singing?"

Zhang Fei came over and whispered: "I heard from the light curtain that it is a thing called Jingyun Dagu in later generations, and there is a selection called "Baidi Tuogu"."

"I think it should be something similar to our current actor drama. Later generations have literati wrote lyrics and it sounds pretty good."

"Don't talk, let me listen." Liu Bei tried hard.

At this time, the hall was in a rare silence. In this silence, the lyrics squeaked into Liu Bei's ears:

[...Little Adou knelt in front of the bed and shed tears...]

Liu Bei smiled in his heart: The Baidi City on the map is quite far from Chengdu, how could he let Adou come here?

[...I have a few last words for you to listen to...This foundation was not created by my father and me, but by the blood, sweat and efforts of the civil and military officials.

It is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to maintain a business...You are ignorant and need to listen to others' advice, and let Mr. Zhuge follow military and national affairs...]

Hey, this is true. The foundation of the Han Dynasty has never been his foundation. So many heroes, even including military advisors, came to support the Han Dynasty, right?

It is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to maintain a business. It is really good to say that it is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to maintain a business after wandering for half a lifetime. It is even more difficult to maintain a business after knowing Adou's story!

[…Don’t tarnish/your two uncles/our loyalty,

good or bad/Guan Xing and Zhang Bao/you must love them twice as much…

If you live without any taste, then you are living in vain,

then Zhao Zilong’s meritorious service at Changban Slope was in vain! …]

Tears finally fell from the corners of Liu Bei’s tightly closed eyes.

Adou went in and out of Changban Slope seven times, and went in and out of Zhaolie Temple twice and three times, making a total of ninety-nine, worthy of the fate of an emperor.
