"Who is Liu Chan?"

"Just a fool"

"Can a fool be an emperor?" Pudding said suspiciously, she didn't understand, it turned out that a fool can also be an emperor.

"Because he is biological, and he is the eldest son, he will legally inherit the throne" Zhuge Yinglong finished drinking a cup of tea, and hurriedly picked up the teapot and refilled another cup for himself.

Li Zimu shook his head, the longest-serving emperor in the Three Kingdoms period, how could An Le Gong be a fool? It's just that he was written as a fool, in fact, Liu Chan was the smartest of Liu Bei's sons.

He must watch the mood of the people he makes fun of, know who they are, and see the right moment, and then, like a wild eagle watching every bird in front of him, he will not relax at every opportunity. It's a job as hard as the art of smart people.

This is a sentence that Shakespeare said, and Li Zimu agrees very much.

Indeed, if you want to pretend to be stupid so that others can't see it, you need to be smarter than smart people.

Liu Bei had four sons and two daughters.

Liu Feng, not biological, is considered a righteous son, who was adopted by Liu Bei when he did not have a biological son, and later took the blame for not wanting to save his righteous brother, and was given death by Liu Bei, and there is Zhuge Liang's shadow in it.

The eldest son, Liu Chan, before he ascended the throne. "Very smart, exceeding people's expectations" This is what Zhuge Liang said, because he has always been Liu Chan's teacher.

As the monarch, Liu Chan can be compared with the first hegemon of the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Huan Gong has to manage Zhong to become a hegemon, and Liu Chan has Zhuge Liang to compete with Qiang Wei.

This is what Li Mi said, if Zhuge Liang commented on Liu Chan so much, there was a reason why he wanted to push Liu Chan up, then Li Mi, a later generation, still has such a high opinion of Liu Chan, no one has ever thought about why?

Liu Yong, Liu Bei's second son, is actually smart, but he was born to an irrelevant woman, his mother's status is humble and cannot be compared, and he is not as good as Liu Chan's mother Mrs. Gan.

Liu Li, Liu Bei's youngest son, was born to Liu Bei and another woman, and he was short-lived and died relatively early.

There are also two daughters, but they were captured by Cao Cao when Liu Bei fled for his life.

Li Zimu didn't know much about the things of the Three Kingdoms, and for those individuals in Shu, he didn't know much about Liu Bei, on the contrary, he knew a lot about Cao Cao.

But I also lived at that time, so although I haven't dealt with them, I at least know some things.

Adou is not stupid at all, on the contrary, this person is very smart. Or one thing is for sure, he wasn't stupid before.

When Liu Bei was not dead, of course, he had to consider who his position should be passed on, which was a headache for everyone who became an emperor.

According to the tradition of Chinese imperial history, this son is to be given to the eldest son, and Liu Chan is the eldest son, which is naturally in the first category.

However, if Liu Chan is a fool, then will Liu Bei let him be the emperor? For the sake of his Liu family to continue to pass on, he Liu Bei will definitely not choose a fool to be the emperor, even if this fool is his eldest son.

It can be seen from this that Liu Chan was definitely not stupid at that time, at least before he became the emperor, he was definitely not stupid, on the contrary, he still had something extraordinary.

"If the trial can be like this, why should I worry?" This is Liu Bei's evaluation of his eldest son Liu Chan, how about his own son, doesn't he have a little bit in his heart?

Of course, he knew all too well.

"The court is eighteen years old, gifted and benevolent, and Corporal Ed. This is Zhuge Liang's evaluation of Liu Chan, which can be said to be quite high.

When did Liu Chan start to become stupid?

It was when he sat in the position of emperor, when his son Liu Bei died, whose power was in his hands? It was definitely not in his hands, because there was a Zhuge Liang next to him.

At that time, Zhuge Liang was in power, did he Liu Chan dare to come out and ask for the power that should have belonged to him?

Unless he's a fool.

He didn't dare to deal with Zhuge Liang at that time, and another point is that Zhuge Liang did not rebel, he chose to assist this young master because he was famous for a lifetime, and he didn't dare to do such a rebellious thing.

And Liu Chan doesn't have to do it himself, he stays in the harem all day long and drinks flower wine with a beautiful woman, this Shu Kingdom is still his, why not?

Therefore, he chose to pretend to be stupid, but instead handed over everything to his father, Zhuge Liang, to manage, but this is indeed not wrong, Shu is under the management of Zhuge Liang, very strong, and the country is peaceful and peaceful. And this world is still the world of the Liu family, at least on the surface.

This is after he became the emperor, when Zhuge Liang was still alive, he chose to be a fool and be at ease all day long, saying that he had no ambitions, saying that he was afraid of Zhuge Liang, but he couldn't say that he was stupid.

And Zhuge Liang finally said that he finally died, at this time, according to reason, Liu Chan, who had been pretending to be stupid all along, should stand up bravely at this time, take all the power in his own hands, and then govern the country strong, thriving, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

This is what the script should have, and this kind of script is not uncommon in the history of ancient imperial families in China, and a short period of tolerance does not show cowardice, let alone stupidity.

Being smart is smart, but it's not the same thing as having political talent, a math champion is smart, right? It's certainly smart, but if you ask him to govern a country, he may not be able to do it.

So Liu Chan can't say that he is stupid, it's just that he has no political talent, but he is good at using people, at least in the seven years after Zhuge Kongming's death, Shu still did not decline.

In the end, Shu was defeated by Wei, not that the decline of Shu at that time had come to an end, absolutely not, the strength of Shu at that time should not be underestimated.

But Liu Chan still surrendered on his own.

Wang Yin said in "Shu Ji":

The reason why Liu Chan would rather recite his infamy than defend himself is "the policy of the whole country". A politician like Liu Chan who pays attention to the practical interests of the Chinese people is not the same as a politician who "slaps a swollen face and rushes to the fat man".

After the death of the country, as the king of the fallen country, not only his own life, but also the happiness of the people of Shu are in the hands of others.

His own treatment directly affected the relaxation of the Jin State's policy towards the people of Shu. Therefore, Liu Chan must pretend to be stupid and hide his talents everywhere, so that he can hide from the world and protect himself.

In the imperial court, Liu Chan does not fight with Zhuge Liang, and not to mention that he can fight or not, at least there is no internal fighting, and the court does not fight internally, so that it can be consistent with the outside world.

The most important thing to the outside world is the people, the water can carry the boat and also overturn the boat, during Liu Chan's reign, the water has never turned over too many waves.

Whether it is internal or external, at least he has done what a Ming monarch should do, although Adou did not do anything, but it is undeniable that when he was in power, it was stronger than when Liu Bei was in power.

So in Li Zimu's view, Adou is not unable to help him, he just doesn't think about it.
