After Cao Pi was proclaimed emperor, it was rumored that Emperor Han Xian had died, and Liu Bei was called emperor under the persuasion of Zhuge Liang and others, with the country name "Han" and the year name "Zhang Wu". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

[Liu Bei is called the emperor]

It was rumored in Shu that Emperor Han Xian had been killed, so Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, ordered to wear linen and filial piety, hold a funeral for Emperor Han Xian, and honor Emperor Han Xian as Emperor Xiaoshu. The ministers wrote to Liu Bei as emperor (Note 1).

According to the records of "Shu Benji", Wudu has a husband who has turned into a woman, with a beautiful color and a mountain essence. The king of Shu married his wife, did not learn about water and soil, and wanted to return to the country when he was sick. The king of Shu sent the martial capital to bear the soil, buried in Chengdu Guozhong, covered several acres of land, ten zhang high, called Wu Dan also.

And Liu Bei refused to be the emperor at first, and at this time Zhuge Liang persuaded: "In the past, Wu Han, Geng . . . At the beginning of the others, Emperor Guangwu persuaded Shizu Guangwu to claim the emperor to ascend the throne, but Shizu refused to allow it, and successively pushed it four times, Geng Chun then said: "The heroes of the world admire you very much, and hope to follow you to get what everyone wants." If you don't take the advice of the crowd, everyone will choose a new master, and no one will follow you anymore. Shizu felt that Geng Chun's words were very reasonable, so he agreed to everyone's request. Now Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, there is no owner in the world, the king is a descendant of the Liu royal family, and the lineage of the Han family ascended the throne, which is a reasonable thing. The scholars and doctors have followed the king for a long time and experienced hardships and hardships, but they also hope to build a large scale as Geng Chun said! ”

Liu Bei then ascended the throne as the emperor, and appointed Zhuge Liang as the prime minister, saying: "My family has suffered misfortune, so I respect the throne, I must be conscientious, dare not be greedy for leisure and happiness, and be dedicated to stabilizing the people, lest they will not be appeased." Alack! Prime Minister Zhuge Liang can understand my mind in detail and truthfully, tirelessly help me overcome my shortcomings, assist in giving the king's grace, and let the glory of the sun and moon shine on the world, please do your best! Zhuge Liang is the prime minister of Shangshu as prime minister, and enjoys the right of "fake festival". After Zhang Fei's death, he worked part-time as a lieutenant.

Of course, not all of them in the Shuhan Group want Liu Bei to be the emperor, and Fei Shi, who once visited Guan Yu, is one of the representatives.

At that time, the ministers discussed and wanted to elect Liu Bei as the emperor, but Fei Shishang objected: "Your Highness because Cao Cao's father and son persecuted the Son of Heaven and usurped the throne, so he lived thousands of miles away, gathered the soldiers and the public, and prepared to use it to crusade against the traitors. Now that the great enemy has not yet been destroyed, but he first established himself as the emperor, I am afraid that everyone will have doubts in their hearts. In the past, Han Gaozu and Xiang Yu agreed that the person who attacked and destroyed the Qin State first could be the king. When Gaozu captured Xianyang and captured the prince of Qin, he still had the heart of concession and did not want to be the king, not to mention that now His Royal Highness has not yet walked out of the court, and he wants to establish himself as the emperor! I really don't think Your Highness should listen to the suggestions of the ministers. ”

Fei Shi therefore went against Liu Bei's wishes and was demoted to Yongchang County. Liu Bei was also proclaimed emperor in April of the same year.

Liu Bei called the emperor and set up Wu as the empress, his son Liu Chan as the crown prince, and his son Liu Yong as the king of Lu and Liu Li as the king of Liang. He took Chengdu as the national capital, the country name "Han", the year name "Zhangwu", and "Zhangwu" represented Huode, which also said that Liu Bei believed that he had inherited the Han family.

【The necessity of becoming emperor】

In history, it was very necessary for Liu Bei to be called emperor immediately after Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei's move continued the existence of the Han family in a general sense.

After Cao Pi was proclaimed emperor, it was equivalent to the Eastern Han Dynasty had perished, and at this time, as a descendant of the clan, Liu Bei needed to stand up, not to mention that Liu Bei was the only one who had the ability and prestige to confront Cao Pi at that time, and Liu Bei was responsible and obliged to be the emperor at this time. If even Liu Bei is not the emperor and is unwilling to inherit the Han industry, wouldn't he admit that the Han family has perished, and those officials, literati and people who think of the Han will only be more desperate.

From the external situation, Liu Bei also needs to be called the emperor, at that time Cao Pi and Sun Quan were Liu Bei's enemies, if Cao Pi was called the emperor, Liu Bei was still the king of Hanzhong, then Liu Bei would naturally be weak Cao Pi in terms of momentum, which was intolerable to Liu Bei and the Yizhou group. As for Sun Quan, Liu Bei's claim to be the emperor also has a great deterrent effect on him, after all, Sun Quan used to call himself Hanchen before.

Internally, everyone actually hopes that Liu Bei will be the emperor, after losing Jingzhou and Shangyong three counties in a row, Liu Bei's group has declined greatly, and it is urgent to regroup, and Liu Bei is called the emperor, which can have the effect of cheering up.

In addition, the ministers of Yizhou also want to take advantage of Liu Bei's opportunity to become the emperor, which has formed a trend, and Liu Bei cannot isolate himself from his subordinates, so he wants to be the emperor and give his subordinates a reward.

For Liu Bei himself, he also hopes to be the emperor, after all, Liu Bei is not young, Liu Bei was sixty years old at that time, he didn't have much time, and Liu Bei as a clan, he was also qualified to be the emperor, so when Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, when the ministers admonished, Liu Bei finally chose to be the emperor.

At that time, Yizhou had long been rumored to be Emperor Han Xian's death, and the people could not get the news from the north, but it was impossible for the big people in Yizhou to be unclear, but no one came out to clarify, and no one came to control the spread of rumors, which was actually a tacit understanding, a tacit understanding that everyone knows.

Liu Bei said that the emperor also realized Dong Fu's prophecy that year - the Beijing division will be chaotic, and Yizhou will be divided into heaven.

【Inheriting the Han Family≠ Inheriting the Han Dynasty】

Although Liu Bei was proclaimed emperor in the first year of Zhangwu (221) and continued the existence of the Han Dynasty, this does not mean that Liu Bei continued the existence of the Han Dynasty, and these two points are not the same.

In the "Zizhi Tongjian", Sima Guang believes that Liu Bei, the Zhaolie Emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty, claimed to be the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan in the Western Han Dynasty, but the relationship is too estranged, and it is impossible to tell how many generations there are, what status and status they are in, just like Liu Yu, the ancestor of the Song Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty, who claimed to be the descendant of King Chu Yuan of the Western Han Dynasty, and Li Li, the ancestor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, claimed to be the descendant of Li Ke, the king of Wu of the Tang Dynasty, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

I don't agree with this, I have already said that although Liu Bei's family is in the middle, it is actually just because his father died and his family environment is not good, but the Liu clan in Zhuo County, Zhuo County at that time is still not small, just saying that Liu Bei's identity is difficult to check can also be said in the past, but it is impossible for a big family people to know whether they are descendants of the royal family.

Moreover, there is no record of questioning Liu Bei's origin in the literature of the entire Three Kingdoms period and even the Two Jin Dynasty, Liu Bei and Liu Xiu's background are similar, and Sima Guang's point of view is not very convincing.

However, I think Liu Bei can be regarded as inheriting the legacy of the Han Dynasty, but he is not considered to have inherited the cause of the Han Dynasty, because I think Liu Bei is not qualified enough, he is only the lord of a country, not the master of a dynasty. In the end, Shu Han is still too weak and weak, and even the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Two Song Dynasty can't compare.

Note 1: It is the latter who said that the sun and the moon belong to the phase, so the Lang Yangquan Hou Liu Bao, the Tsing Yi Hou Xiangju, the partial general Zhang Yi, Huang Quan, the great Sima belongs to Yin Chun, Yizhou Beijia is engaged in Zhao Ying, Zhizhong is engaged in Yang Hong, engaged in sacrificial wine He Zong, Yi Cao is engaged in Du Qiong, and persuaded to learn to engage in Zhang Shuang, Yin Mo, Qian Zhou, etc. Zhen Yaodu, the book of Luo, said: 'On the third day of the Red Day, Dechang, the Ninth Emperor will be prepared, and it will be combined into the emperor. 'Luo Shubao said: 'Tiandu Emperor is ready to be called the emperor, and he will be invincible in order to control the deed. 'Luo Shulu said: "The nine marquis and seven heroes fight for the lives of the people, and the road is registered to carry the head, who makes the master come here." 'Filial piety hook fate decision record said: 'Emperor San Jian Jiu will prepare. 'When the minister's father group was not dead, he said that there was yellow gas in the southwest, standing upright for a few zhang, seeing the coming years, there were always Jingyun auspicious winds, and he should come down from Xuanji, which was a strange Rui. In the past twenty-two years, the number of qi is like a flag, from the west to the east, and the middle of the heavens, and the pictures and books say, 'There will be a son of heaven out of his side'. Plus is the year is too white, glowing, and filling in the stars, often chasing each other from the stars. Near the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the five-star star from the year of the star scheme; The year star doctrine, the Han is in the west, above the righteousness, so the Han law often waits for the lord of the year. When there is a holy lord in this state, it will be prosperous. Emperor Xu still existed, so the group did not dare to leak it. The glow of the sun is confused and chasing the stars of the year, and it is seen in the stomach; The Pleiades are the Compendium of Heaven, and it is said that 'when the emperor is in the star, all evils will perish'. The holy prediction, the push of the period, the number of to, if this is not one. The minister heard that the holy king was born and the heavens did not violate, and the day after tomorrow was worshiped by the heavens, so he was born at the right time and was in harmony with God. The original king should obey the people in the sky, and the speed is Hongye, and Ninghai is in the sea. ”

Taifu Xu Jing, An Han General Mi Zhu, Military General Zhuge Liang, Taichang Lai Gong, Guangluxun (Huang Quan) [Huang Zhu], Shaofu Wang Mou and others said: "Cao Pi usurped, annihilated the Han family, stole artifacts, robbed Zhongliang, and was ruthless. People and ghosts are angry and poisonous, and they think about Liu. There is no son of heaven today, the sea is panicked, and the admiration is slight. There are more than 800 people who write before and after the group, and they are called Fu Rui, and they are illustrated and proverbial. Huanglong saw Wuyang Chishui, and went on nine days. Filial piety to aid the god deed said, 'Virtue to the deep spring is the yellow dragon see', the dragon, the image of the king. Yi Qian's ninety-five 'flying dragon in the sky', the king ascended to the throne when the dragon ascended. In front of Guan Yu around Fan and Xiangyang, Xiangyang men Zhang Jia and Wang Xiu presented jade seals, and the seals dived into Han water, lying in the deep springs, and the candles were shining in the sun, and the spiritual light was full of light. The husband of the Han Dynasty, the ancestor of the country of the world is also the name of the world, and the king attacked the trajectory of the first emperor, and also flourished in Hanzhong. Today, the jade seal of the divine light seer, the seal out of Xiangyang, the end of the Han River, the king of the Ming Dynasty inherited its inordinate class, and granted the king the position of the Son of Heaven. In the past, there was a mullet of Rui, and the salty was said to be resting. The second ancestor was ordered, and the pictures and books were written first, thinking that they were a test. Today, the heavens are auspicious, the group of Confucians are handsome, and enter the river and Luo, Confucius prohibits and remembers, and the salty are all there. King Fu Wei came from the Xiaojing Emperor Zhongshan Jingwang of the Emperor, the branch of the hundreds, the Qianzhi descended to Zuo, the holy posture is huge, the gods are bowing, the benevolence is covered with virtue, the lover is good, and it is to return to the heart of the Quartet. The examination of the provincial spiritual map, the inspiration of the prophet, the weft, the table of the gods, the name is notorious. It is advisable to be the emperor, to compile the two ancestors, and the heirs of Shao Zhaomu, the world is very fortunate. The ministers and others would like to establish etiquette with Dr. Xu Ci and Lang Mengguang, choose Lingchen, and honor the title. That is, the emperor is located in the south of Wudan, Chengdu. 1 is the text and says: "On the afternoon of April in the twenty-sixth year of Jian'an, the emperor dared to use Xuanmu to announce to the emperor that the gods of heaven and earth were born: Han has the world, and the history is boundless. Wang Mang usurped the thief, Emperor Guangwu was angry and punished, and Sheji was restored. Now Cao Cao hindered the army and forbeared, and after killing the master, he was monstrous and disregarded Tianxian. Cao Zipi, carrying its fierce rebellion, stealing artifacts. The ministers and soldiers thought that the society was degenerate, and they should be prepared, and the two ancestors of the heirs, Gong Xingtian punished. Prepare only for virtue, fear of the emperor's throne. Asked by the common people, and the barbarian monarch, he said, 'The mandate of heaven cannot be left unanswered, the ancestral industry cannot be replaced for a long time, and the four seas cannot be left without an owner'. Led by the soil style, in preparation for one person. Afraid of the fate of the heavens, and afraid that the Han Dynasty will be annihilated to the ground, carefully choose the first day, and Bailiao on the altar, by the emperor's seal. Burnt and stubborn, similar to the gods, but the gods are in the Han family, and the four seas will be forever! ”
