Three Kingdoms: I Have Unlimited Gifts

It must be noted that the concept of ruler and minister during the Han Dynasty was very different from what many people imagined in later generations.

For example, in the seventh year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang visited the land of Zhao.

Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, married Liu Bang's daughter, Princess Lu Yuan, so Zhang Ao was both Liu Bang's courtier and Liu Bang's son-in-law, and he was courteous and respectful to Liu Bang.

However, Liu Bang said that "it is not ceremonial to sit on a kei".

That is to say, when Liu Bang saw Zhang Ao, he did not sit on his knees, but sat with his legs outstretched. This was very rude at the time.

However, if you are disrespectful, you are just disrespectful. Liu Bang was both emperor and father-in-law, but Zhang Ao didn't take it to heart.

However, Zhang Ao's subordinates couldn't stand it, and asked Zhang Ao for instructions. The emperor was so rude to you, why don't we kill him.

Of course Zhang Ao would not agree.

However, these subordinates still felt that Liu Bang did not respect his lord, which was a great disgrace to him, so he still took an assassination operation against Liu Bang, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful.

After the incident was revealed, some of these assassins committed suicide. Some would rather endure torture, but also explain the situation to Liu Bang, saying that this matter has nothing to do with King Zhao.

In the end, Liu Bang felt that these people were very good, so he pardoned Zhang Ao. Many of those subordinates are still alive, and many are also senior officials of Dahan 24.

This is the moral concept of this era.

In the Han Dynasty, due to the existence of concepts such as private ministers, subordinates, and lords, many people were most loyal not to the emperor, but to their lords, or to those who recommended themselves as officials.

"The emperor wants the minister to die. The minister has to die, and the immortality is for disloyalty." This sentence will only appear in the Ming Dynasty.

The formation of the concept of absolute control of the monarch over his subjects, at least in the Song Dynasty.

In fact, it was not until the Tang Dynasty that Wu Ze discovered that the loyalty of "disciples" to "masters" was inappropriate, and held a palace examination, and all Jinshi were "disciples of the emperor".

Unfortunately, this did not form a system. As a result, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, there was a "cow and Li party conflict" that brought disaster to the country and the people, ruining the last bit of vitality of the empire.

It was not until the Song Dynasty that Song Taizu established the palace examination system, and the concept of "the person who should be most loyal to the subjects is the emperor" was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Therefore, it is not impossible for Liu Yan to try to fight against the emperor with force.

The main officials of Yizhou were appointed by him.

It's hard to say whether these people are the most loyal, whether it is him or the emperor.

Liu Zhao, Liu Zhao, do you really think that your raid is successful and the event is over?

It's early!

After Liu Yan heard Liu Zhao say the words "unforgivable sin and should be executed", he realized that he was finished.

However, at this moment, there was a joy in his heart.

Look, I, Liu Yan, ruled Shu for more than ten years, how could everyone be as shameless as Zhang Lu and Yan Yan?

There will be people who will be impassioned and die with me.

Moreover, you Liu Zhao only controlled the main officials of Chengdu City. Yizhou is vast, and I have countless confidants, distributed outside.

Next, you will be greeted by endless assassinations!

Liu Zhao, it's good for you to escape back to Luoyang early. If you persist here, you may not be able to live a few days longer than me!

However, Liu Yan's happiness soon vanished.

A slender, suave official stood up, sighed, and said: "Liu Inspector has committed a heinous crime, and my ministers have also heard of it. Since His Majesty has come here in person, and must be punished according to the law, what else is there to say? Wei Chen... take orders!" 5

"Fazheng, you despicable villain!" Liu Yan scolded and said, "This official has long heard that you often complain that you are underappreciated, and you are dissatisfied with me. This official misses you at a young age and has always been graceful. Unexpectedly, You are actually revenge for your kindness today!""

"What is Liu Shishi saying?" Fa Zheng said without shame, "I don't know if you colluded with the barbarians. However, you really didn't do the matter of privately creating the emperor Chengyu and intercepting the envoys of the imperial court. Has your Majesty punished crimes according to law? Why not? Since I became an official, no matter what duties I have, I have done it properly, far exceeding my colleagues. I have been working hard for more than ten years. Where does kindness and revenge come from?"

"You...you..." Liu Yan was actually refuted by Fazheng and was speechless.

But Liu Zhao laughed and said, "Well said! Are you Fa Zheng Fa Xiao Zhi?

"It's Weichen." Fazheng's eyes lit up and said, "Your Majesty has heard of Weichen's words? 35

"It's more than just heard of it, it's like thunder!" Liu Zhao said happily.

Liu Zhao's rightful name is "like thunder," which may indeed be an exaggeration. However, having said that, in Liu Zhao's mind, Fazheng is indeed quite unusual.

Later generations of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" wanted to highlight Zhuge Liang, so Fazheng, who was also an important advisor under Liu Bei, was not so brilliant.

In fact, Fazheng's ability is never under Zhuge Liang, nor is his status under Zhuge Liang when he is alive!

He and Zhuge Liang are Liu Bei's right-hand man.

As the saying goes: "The First Sovereign reinstated the Yizhou Shepherd, Zhuge Liang regarded it as the arm, Fazheng was the mastermind, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Ma Chao were the minions."

Generally, when Liu Bei went to war, Premier Zhuge Liang had government affairs behind him, and he had enough food for his soldiers; They can work closely with each other and learn from each other's strengths.

In the battle of Dingjunshan, the Shu army beheaded Xiahouyuan, it was out of Fazheng's plan.

In terms of military talents, Fazheng should even be above Zhuge Liang.

Moreover, Fazheng seems to be more trusted by Liu Bei than Zhuge Liang.

In 830, Liu Bei avenged Guan Yu and defeated Yiling, ruining most of the vitality of Shu. Zhuge Liang sighed: "If Fa Xiaozhi was still there, he would be able to stop the Lord's expedition to the east; even if he couldn't stop it, if he followed the eastward expedition, he would definitely not be defeated. Go; go east again, and you will not be in danger.)

How does Cao Cao evaluate Fazheng?

When Zhuge Liang mentioned Fazheng, it was a word of admiration: the lord is in the public security, the north is afraid of Cao Gong's strength, the east is afraid of Sun Quan's approach, and when he is near, he is afraid that Mrs. Sun's life will change under the armpit; Filial piety is the auxiliary wing, so that it can not be copied.

Even Chen Shou, who wrote the history book of "Three Kingdoms", sighed: Zhuge Liang and Zheng, although they are different from each other, are based on justice. Fa Zheng sees success or failure, and has fantastic plans, but it is not called virtue. To imitate Wei Chen, to rule over Xun Yu's uncle Zhong, to correct Qi Cheng, and Guo Zhi's wife to be evil?""

That is to say, the only thing Fazheng loses to Zhuge Liang is that his personal character is relatively average and his temper is not good. He is probably equivalent to Guo Jia and Cheng Yu on Cao Cao's side.

The reason why Fazheng is not as famous as Zhuge Liang in later generations is the same as Guo Jia's reason - he died early.

In the second year after Liu Bei became emperor, Fazheng died of illness, which is a pity.

And now, it is the time when Fa Zheng is young and strong!
