Chapter 040: Li Yan and Zhuge Liang
Now many people think that Zhuge Liang belittled Li Yan in order to exclude dissidents and suppress the Dongzhou Group, in fact, this is not right, Li Yan's matter is mainly because he died by himself, for the Jingzhou Group, the Dongzhou Group is actually their natural ally, and Zhuge Liang himself is for them to win them over.

Historically, although Li Yan has performed quite well in politics and military, he is very bad in dealing with people.
[Zhuge Liang and Dongzhou Group and Li Yan]
Before Liu Bei entered Shu, there were two major groups in Yizhou, one was the Yizhou group dominated by Yizhou locals, and the other was the Dongzhou group dominated by exiles.
Among these three major groups, because Liu Bei later lost Jingzhou, Jingzhou Group and Dongzhou Group are not only foreign groups, but also have become rootless water, and many people within Dongzhou Group are also from Jingzhou, for example, Li Yan is a native of Nanyang, Jingzhou, so in terms of interests and closeness, Jingzhou Group and Dongzhou Group are very close, and the integration of Jingzhou Group and Dongzhou Group is a major trend in history.
For Zhuge Liang, the leader of the Jingzhou Group, he has no reason to suppress the Dongzhou Group, and Zhuge Liang got rid of Li Yan, also because Li Yan already has a tendency to rebel and defect to the enemy, and Shu Han can no longer tolerate him, as the actual person in charge of Shu Han, Zhuge Liang has a high enough tolerance for Li Yan, he even handed over the power of the court to Li Yan, Li Yan turned out to frame him, Zhuge Liang did not deal with him and waited for him to be the emperor. It can be said that Li Yan's actions have far exceeded Zhuge Liang's bottom line, so Zhuge Liang finally suppressed him.
If Li Yan was not one of Liu Bei's ministers, if Li Yan was not the actual leader of the Dongzhou Group, how could Zhuge Liang endure until this time, he would have sent Li Yan home a long time ago, Liao Li just said a few bad words about the ancestor Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang directly abolished him as a civilian, and what did Li Yan do, asking for the division of Yizhou, the enemy is currently blackmailing Zhuge Liang to divide power, shirking responsibility and framing Zhuge Liang, so it is too normal to be killed and killed.
In history, even if Li Yan admits the responsibility related to grain transportation, even if the main responsibility does not lie with him, Zhuge Liang is likely to take this opportunity to suppress Li Yan, because Zhuge Liang should also settle accounts after the autumn, Zhuge Liang had no way to retreat at the beginning, and now Cao Wei's troops are retreating, and he is unable to go north in a short time, it is time to clean up Li Yan, but it is difficult to use the excuse of transporting grain to suppress Li Yan at one time.
After dismissing Li Yan, Zhuge Liang also appointed Li Ping's son Li Feng as a lieutenant general and joined the military, and wrote a letter to warn him: "I and your father and son work together to assist the Han family, and the above table recommends that your father take charge of Hanzhong affairs and appoint you to guard in Dongguan. If your father can confess his sins and serve the country wholeheartedly, and you and Jiang Wan can work together with one heart, then what you may lose in Tongtai can be regained. Consider this exhortation carefully and understand my intentions. ”
【Poor interpersonal relationships】
Historically, although Li Yan has good ability, he has performed very poorly in interpersonal communication. He himself has a lonely temperament, difficult to get along with others, during his tenure as Qianwei Taishou, he built a house to satisfy his own selfishness, and had a dispute with the opposing county Gong Cao Yang Hong because of the relocation of the county magistrate's residence, Yang Hong took the initiative to resign and retire in a fit of anger, and finally Li Yan recommended Yang Hong to the state capital and appointed the Shu Ministry; After the governor of Jiangzhou, he had friction with his subordinate Yamen general Wang Chong, who knew that he was hated by Li Yan and defected to Wei for fear of being framed for it; Li Yan also thinks very highly of himself, and the age and status of the Protector Auxiliary Kuang are about the same as Li Yan, but Li Yan is reluctant to take the initiative to associate with them.
After Li Yan was deposed for his crimes, Zhuge Liang also wrote in a letter to Jiang Wan and Dong Yun: "Before Xiaoqi (Chen Zhen) was about to leave for Wu, he told me that Zhengfang (Li Yan) had scales in his belly, and the villagers thought he was unapproachable. I thought that with such a cunning mentality, no one would provoke him, but I didn't expect him to be like Su Qin and Zhang Yi, which was unexpected. This should be known to Xiaoqi. ”
Chen Zhen and Li Yan are out-and-out fellow villagers, both of them are from Nanyang, Jingzhou, and even Chen Zhen reminded Zhuge Liang that Li Yan has scale armor in his belly, which shows Li Yan's failure as a man.
In the twelfth year of Jianxing (234), Li Yan heard that Zhuge Liang had died, so he fell ill and died. It is said that Li Yan often hoped that Zhuge Liang would use him again, considering that other ministers except Zhuge Liang could not use him again, so he became angry and became ill. Li Yan's son, Li Feng, was the official to Zhu Ti Taishou.
Li Yan's thoughts are actually understandable, after all, he himself had a good relationship with Zhuge Liang before, and Li Yan may not have paid attention to other people before, so he knows his own family affairs, and he knows that he has offended too many people before, and only Zhuge Liang may reappoint himself if he sees his own ability and his old friendship in the past. But I think Li Yan still takes this for granted, after all, Li Yan's mistake is too serious, he has a problem with his position, and Zhuge Liang is basically impossible to use him.
【Merit and Demerit】
Li Yan as Liu Bei left one of the only two ministers, his ability and qualifications can not be denied, he guarded the eastern frontier in the early Shu Han Dynasty, guarding against Sun Wu, Zhuge Liang went north to Hanzhong, he moved to Jiangzhou to take charge of rear affairs, these contributions can not be ignored.
However, Li Yan, as the minister of Tuogu, persuaded Zhuge Liang, who was also the minister of Tuogu, to be called Wang Jiajiuxi; As a high-level officer of Shu Han, he asked for five counties to be given to him when he should contribute, and even threatened Zhuge Liang by taking refuge in Cao Wei; As the person in charge of grain and grass transportation, he is unwilling to take responsibility and frames others.
These things cannot be forgiven, Li Yan as one of the few core figures in Shu Han who still exists after Liu Bei's death, if he can let go of his arrogance and get along with his colleagues friendly, if he can sincerely help Zhuge Liang and help Liu Chan, his fate will definitely not be like this, after Zhuge Liang's death, the next person in charge of Shu Han will not be able to escape from the palm of his hand.
Heaven is evil, especially lived; and thou shalt not live.
