Zhang Fei whips the post:

Zhang Fei's whip to supervise the post was actually done by Liu Bei.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has a chapter on Zhang Yide's angry whipping and supervising the post, in fact, it was Liu Bei and not Zhang Fei who really whipped the superintendent. The result of Luo Guanzhong's transfer of flowers and trees not only maintained Liu Beizhong's image of benevolence, but also publicized Zhang Fei's simple and rude personality with clear love and hate.

Why did Liu Bei whip the post? This has to trace the history of Liu Bei's early years. Although Liu Bei is a descendant of Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, according to the regulations of the Han Dynasty, when the king's son inherits his father's title, he will be demoted to the rank of marquis, and Liu Sheng's son Liu Zhen has been demoted to the marquis of Lucheng Pavilion. Later, in order to weaken the power of the vassal states and increase the financial revenue of the central government, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stipulated that the ancestors should not spend the silver of the national treasury, and the descendants of Liu Bang would pay for it. After the silver was paid, under the pretext of insufficient quality, most of the princes surnamed Liu were demoted to commoners, and Liu Zhen was also one of them, not only lost the feudal state, but even the royal status was abolished. The young Liu Bei was already poor, he was still a gentleman, he didn't like to read, and he liked to be sexual. Since the age of fifteen, he and his mother have lived hard by weaving mats and selling shoes. Liu Bei, who was in an embarrassing situation, was soaked with the dream of restoring his former paradise in his bones. The so-called "Uncle Huang" is just a deliberate arrangement by Mr. Luo Guanzhong. In terms of generation, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is the sixteenth generation of Liu Bang's descendants, Liu Bei is the twenty-first generation, and Liu Bei should call Liu Xie his wife. has long been cleared out of the royal family, and it is in vain to want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix.

The social chaos provided Liu Bei, who had a heart higher than the sky and a lowly body, to get ahead. After the Yellow Turban Uprising, relying on donations from others, Liu Bei recruited soldiers to participate in the suppression. Because of his meritorious service in fighting the Yellow Turban Army, Liu Bei got a piece of the pie and was appointed as Anxi Lieutenant, that is, the director of the Anxi County Public Security Bureau. For Liu Bei, the county public security director was exchanged for life and death.

Since the beginning of the Warring States Period, China's authoritarian society has gradually implemented civilian politics, that is, military personnel fight wars and civilian people govern the country, so as to avoid military interference in politics. The reason is very simple, war and governing the country have diametrically opposite laws: soldiers are treacherous, and politicians are right. Fighting wars with intrigue and trickery, talking about ferocity rather than mercy; Governing the country and practicing benevolent government, stressing honesty and support. For example, the "anti-rightist struggle" of "luring the snake out of its hole and gathering it to annihilate it" is the result of applying the tactics and means of the struggle against the enemy to the people.

Although by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the Yellow Turban Rebellion had made the Eastern Han Dynasty a mess, it was still very vigilant against military interference in politics and resolutely eliminated it. Liu Bei's appointment as An Xiwei was a temporary filling of a power gap, not a formal appointment. Soon after, the Eastern Han Dynasty government issued a document emphasizing: "Those who have obtained local administrative positions by virtue of military merits must be eliminated." (The original text is: "Those who have military merits and are long-term officials should be eliminated by the sand.") The superintendent is an important official at the county level, and is usually discharged by the county magistrate to inspect whether the magistrates of the counties under the county are competent, and is in charge of the county's post station. Although the post inspector has a great responsibility, this time he also went to *, just to clean up the government officers in accordance with the regulations of the imperial court. Liu Bei is naturally the target of elimination. For this reason, he asked the superintendent sent by Jin to carry out the imperial order. In today's parlance, I want to go through the back door and keep my position through bribery. Of course, the superintendent understood Liu Bei's intention, but he didn't dare to promise him anything, and he couldn't joke with his life. Meeting and not returning to the promise is the most embarrassing thing. In order to avoid entanglement, the superintendent refused on the grounds that he was ill, and the refusal marked that the loss of his official position had become inevitable. Liu Bei was both angry and angry, so he rushed into the yamen, tied up the superintendent and whipped him, and fled.

The rights and wrongs of the angry whip supervising the post are very clear, and for Liu Bei, it is very rare to sit on the throne of the Anxi County Public Security Bureau from the pawn of the peddler, so he does not hesitate to bribe the back door with his face salivated. For the superintendent, he did not dare to go out of shape to carry out the orders of the central government, so he closed the back door that Liu Bei wanted to go through, so that his attempt to keep An Xiwei through the back door failed. The superintendent is not guilty or at fault, Liu Bei pulled him out and whipped him, which was the wanton behavior of the little warlord.
