"Have you finished reading "Three Kingdoms" Shu Shu?" Sitting in the Qianqing Palace, Yun glanced at his sons and asked.
This is the time for Yun to teach his son and the prince's son. If nothing happens, these children will be sent overseas in the future. Although they have the support of their parents' country, they still have to learn how to govern the country. When Yun has free time, he will Call the slightly older children (twelve years old) to teach them personally.
And today there are two non-staff personnel: Zhu and Zhu. When they entered the palace to see Yun, they happened to catch up with him teaching his sons and were about to leave; since Ke Yun had always said that he regarded the two of them as his nephews, how could he let them They just left like that? They were left sitting in the back each with a copy of "Three Kingdoms".
"I've finished reading." Wenyuan and others agreed in unison with Zhu Zhu.
"Can you read "The Biography of Zhuge Liang" carefully from beginning to end?" Yun asked again.
Wen Yuan, Wen Qi, and Zhu of course immediately agreed again, but although some of them agreed, their voices showed a slight hint of guilt. As for Zhu, when he came in, half of the time Yun left for his sons to study had passed. , confidently said nothing, saying that he had not finished reading "The Biography of Zhuge Liang".
Yun glanced at them and continued: "Since you have read "The Biography of Zhuge Liang" very carefully, what do you think was the biggest mistake that Marquis Wu made after he came out of the mountain after visiting the thatched cottage three times?"
"Dad, do you mean internal affairs, diplomacy or military warfare?" Wenyuan asked.
"Everything is included." Yun explained: "Everything that Marquis Wu did."
Hearing this, these children were relieved. Zhuge Liang is a very famous person, not only because he is close to a perfect man, the closest politician in Chinese history, but also because of the emperors and literati of all dynasties. Praising makes everyone know the true and false stories about Zhuge Liang, and they can also tell which ones are true, and probably the problem can be solved by telling the previous story.
However, those who think like this are still young, and older people will not think like this. Wenyuan and others began to think about it seriously, including Zhu and Zhu. Needless to say, Zhu, people who love reading will definitely think about it seriously. Regarding this question, although Zhu usually didn't look like a prince, he knew that Yun was taking a test, so he frowned and thought about it.
"Dad, my son thinks it's because he failed to properly arrange things in Jingzhou after entering Shu. 'If there are Jingzhou across the road, it will be beneficial to protect the rocks, make peace with the Rong in the west, pacify the Yiyue in the south, befriend Sun Quan externally, and cultivate political principles internally. "If there is a change in the world, order a general to lead the army of Jingzhou to Wan and Luo, and the general will lead the people of Yizhou out of Qinchuan." This was the strategy set by Wuhou Longzhong when he faced the enemy. The Shu Han Dynasty has also followed this strategy since then. This strategy works.”
"But I don't know whether the son is Wu Hou's negligence, or he has no good way. After entering Shu, he did not properly arrange things in Jingzhou. If the Shu Han has Jing Yi across the road, the Shu Han will be strong and Dongwu will be weak. And if the Shu Han follows Longzhong If the countermeasures were to destroy Wei, Soochow would not be able to survive; not to mention that Jingzhou's location is very important, and it is connected to Yangzhou by water and can be attacked and defended. Soochow will definitely covet Jingzhou. In this way, Jingzhou will be attacked from both sides, and it will be very difficult to defend it. Guan Yu Although he was loyal to his former lord, his talents were not enough to face such a dangerous situation in Jingzhou. Moreover, Guan Yu was a proud man who relied on his talents and was not suitable to garrison in Jingzhou. Once Jingzhou was lost, Longzhong's countermeasures would not be implemented, and the Shu Han would not be able to unify the world. So my son thinks that Wu Hou’s biggest mistake was his failure to properly arrange things in Jingzhou.” Wenyuan said first.
Yun nodded, did not speak, and just looked at the others. At this time, Zhu said: "Uncle, my nephew thought that Marquis Wu had to do everything. Marquis Wu was an all-rounder. He was very powerful in domestic affairs, foreign affairs, and military warfare. But because of this,
In this way, because of the profound kindness of the late master Tuogu, Marquis Wu had to personally supervise all the punishments of more than twenty sticks in the army. In this way, although there were no omissions since the defeat of Ma Dijieting, Jin Xuan would rather
Nu Yi did not dare to fight with Wu Hou, but Wu Hou was too busy and his body was extremely exhausted. He died at the age of only fifty-four and could not continue to assist his master. Moreover, his posthumous affairs could not be arranged properly, so Wu Hou died.
Soon there was internal strife among the generals of the Northern Expedition. Wei Yan and Yang Yi were killed one after another. Jiang Wan's succession was also very abrupt, which damaged the national strength of the Shu Han Dynasty. So my nephew thought that Marquis Wu had to do everything by himself." Zhu's criticism of Zhuge Liang in these words mainly focused on the fact that he had to do everything by himself.
He died early when he was more than ten years old and could no longer assist his lord, and his improper posthumous arrangements led to the weakening of Shu Han's national power. This is different from ordinary people's perception. However, he was thinking about the problem from the perspective of a ruler, and it is normal to focus on criticizing these two points.
"Dad, my son thought that Ma Su was appointed in the battle of Jieting." Wen Qi said: "The "Three Kingdoms Chronicles of Ma Su" states: When the late emperor passed away, he said to Liang: "Ma Su exaggerated and cannot be used in a big way. Please check it out."
.'It indicated that Ma Su was not of great use, and Ma Su had no record at that time. None of the Shu Han generals thought that Ma Su should be used as a general, but Wuhou sent him to garrison the street pavilion. Secondly, once he left Qishan, he was the only one who defeated Wei.
The country had the opportunity to occupy Yongliang, but Ma Di had to retreat because of the loss of Jieting. After that, the Wei State paid more and more attention to the defense of Guanzhong. Due to the poverty and weakness of the Shu Han Dynasty, there was no chance. Therefore, his son thought that Ma Di was appointed as the Marquis of Wu after the battle of Jieting.
Biggest mistake.”
"Uncle and nephew thought that Chang Fang's son was unjustly killed. According to "Wei's Spring and Autumn Annals": Chang Fang heard that the prefect Zhu Bao had ulterior motives, arrested his chief clerk, interrogated him and executed him. Zhu Bao heard this quickly
Furious, he led his army to kill Chang Fang and falsely accused him of treason. Marquis Wu stayed in Chengdu at that time. He listened to Zhu Bao's words and executed all Chang Fang's sons and exiled Chang Fang's fourth brother to the remote Yuejun.
county."
"My nephew knew the ins and outs of this incident. At that time, less than half a year after the defeat of the first Shu Han lord in Yiling, the Nanzhong counties either openly rebelled or did not listen to orders, and were essentially still in rebellion. The Shu Han court did not have the troops to quell the rebellion. This is
At that time, when a minister in Yizhou suddenly killed the chief clerk of the prefect Zhu Bao, if Marquis Wu pursued the prefect Zhu Bao, he would definitely rebel. Wu Hou could only tolerate this and admit that Zhu Bao did a good job."
"But why bother to kill Chang Fang's disciples? Since Chang Fang was unjustly killed in the first place, even if he had to appease Zhu Bao, he could not kill Chang Fang's disciples. Although Chang Fang's actions of executing the chief secretary were inappropriate, after all, he was out of
Being loyal to the Shu Han, wouldn't it chill the soldiers to kill his disciples so unjustly? Moreover, Chang Fang was from Yizhou, the former lord, and most of the ministers highly valued by Wuhou were from the former lord's old tribe or from Jingzhou, and the Yizhou gentry originally
Even if they had doubts about the Shu Han, it was not easy for someone who was willing to be loyal to the Shu Han to find themselves in such a situation. Wouldn't the Yizhou nobles be alienated from the Shu Han? Later, the Shu Han was the first to be destroyed among the Three Kingdoms, most likely because of the alienation of the Yizhou nobles. So.
My nephew thinks that Marquis Wu made a big mistake by unjustly killing Chang Fang's son." Zhu said.
Yun nodded slightly, but still did not speak. He just continued to look around. At this time, other children expressed their opinions one after another, but Wen Yin remained frowning and did not speak.
When the prince of Liao Dynasty finished speaking, only Wen Yin was left silent, and he said: "Father, my son thinks that Sun Quan should be recognized as the emperor. In the third year of Taihe in the Wei Kingdom, and the seventh year of the establishment of the Shu Han Dynasty, Sun Quan was proclaimed emperor, and his reign was named Huanglong.
, sent an envoy to the Shu Han. The court of the Shu Han was shocked when they heard about it, and someone immediately proposed to attack Soochow, at least to expel Sun Quan's envoys from Chengdu. But Wu Hou did not do so. Not only that, Wu Hou also expressed his gratitude to the emperor,
Please recognize Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty as the emperor, and honor both emperors."
"My son thinks this is extremely inappropriate. It is said that there are no two emperors in the sky, and there are only one emperor in the world. How can two emperors be respected simultaneously? What's more, the Shu Han claimed to be the orthodox continuation of the two Han Dynasties, but it did something like this.
As a result, the Shu Han completely lost its orthodoxy and would no longer be willing to support the people of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the son believed that Wuhou should not recognize Sun Quan as emperor."
Hearing Wen Yin's words, Yun's eyes lit up, but he did not speak immediately. Instead, he scanned it again and saw that everyone had indeed spoken before he said: "Since everyone has expressed their thoughts, then I
Let me comment. Of course, no one is perfect, and what I said may not be without errors. If you feel that what I said is inappropriate, you can point it out."
"What Wen Yuan said is true. With Guan Yu's ability, facing the two powerful enemies of Wei and Wu, his troops and horses were not as good as Lu Meng or Cao Ren, and it was indeed impossible to defend Jingzhou. But my father thought that there were no more suitable people in the Shu Han Dynasty to garrison at that time.
Jingzhou. First of all, people from the Jingzhou gentry cannot stay. The Jingzhou gentry already has lush trees and deep roots. If another Jingzhou person is stationed, even if Jingzhou still belongs to the Shu Han in name, the former master may not be able to command it; not to mention that they have no control over the Shu Han.
It may not be loyal, so it will definitely not work.”
"Neither are the people from Yizhou. At that time, the First Lord had just pacified Yizhou, and implemented a more stringent criminal law than Liu Yan, Liu Zhang and his son. People in Shu did not support Shu Han, so they could not use it. After all, only the First Lord
The old troops and those who came south from the Central Plains to live in Jingyi can guard Jingzhou. But how many of these people are more talented than Guan Yu? Wuhou has to guard Chengdu to manage political affairs, Fazheng assists the former mastermind in seizing Hanzhong, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other talents
Not as good as Guan Yu."
"My father thinks that Marquis Wu may not have known that Guan Yu was not suitable to guard Jingzhou, but he just didn't have a better candidate. So this matter cannot be regarded as Marquis Wu's mistake."
Wenyuan nodded and said, "My son has learned a lesson."
"But it's good that you can think of this. Whether it is governing the country or using troops to fight, the most important thing is to send the right people to do the right things. Of course, there are many talents in the imperial court first, so that there will not be a dilemma where no one in the Shu Han Dynasty can garrison Jingzhou
." Yun said again.
Wenyuan nodded in agreement again. Yun began to comment on Zhu's words. "Marquis Wu has to do everything personally, and his posthumous affairs are not well arranged. This is indeed a big problem, but it would be too much to say that it was Marquis Wu's biggest mistake. Originally, Marquis Wu was also
He planned to delegate power, but the first time he delegated power, he encountered Ma Di's defeat at Jieting, so it is understandable that he would be more cautious after that."
"Furthermore, you are raising this point from the perspective of the queen, thinking that if there is a minister like Wuhou who is lazy under his subordinates." Yun laughed and cursed again: "As a king, you don't have to handle everything personally, but you can't be like the queen.
The Duke of Zhou is afraid of rumors, but Wang Mang is humble and does not usurp the throne. Xiangshi died at the beginning, who knows the authenticity of his life? How can you know whether the minister you can use is Wuhou or Wang Mang? You must not imitate the Queen of Shu.
.”
Zhu Ye expressed that he had been taught. Yun continued to comment on Wen Qi's words. "Wen Qi, your idea is not wrong, but my father thinks it is a detail. At that time, Wu Hou wanted to promote and cultivate talents, and Ma Su was the first to bear the brunt. Even in the Battle of Jieting, Wu
Hou did not appoint Ma Su, and he would probably appoint him in the future. We cannot expect Ma Su to win by chance in the first battle. Moreover, there is nothing wrong in promoting and cultivating talents. Ma Su has a great reputation, and it is not wrong to promote and train him, so my father thinks this is not a big mistake."
"Yuan Zheng, your idea has opened my uncle's eyes. My uncle knew that the estrangement between the Yizhou scholars and the Shu Han was one of the most important reasons for the downfall of the Shu Han, but he did not expect that the consequences of unjustly killing Chang Fang's son would be so great. No matter when people's opinions are against one another,
, especially the support of scholars, gentry, and the court is of paramount importance, so it is not wrong to say that this matter was the biggest mistake of Marquis Wu."
"But my uncle still believes that whether the Yizhou scholars are loyal to the Shu Han is not just one thing, but the accumulation of many things. This incident does not have a great impact on people's hearts. Naturally, these many things that inhibit the Yizhou scholars
People's affairs can also be regarded as the same kind of things, but they are not the same thing after all." Yun said. Zhu chatted with Yun for a few more words on this issue, and finally expressed his gratitude to him for teaching him.
Yun commented on the other opinions one by one, and finally smiled at Wen Yin and said: "Wen Yin, your idea is exactly my father's idea."
After saying this, he took a breath and said to everyone present: "When I commented on what Yuan Zheng said just now, I said that people's support is very important, and people's support is also closely related to righteousness. As soon as Wu Hou came out
The three counties of Qishan and Longxi immediately rebelled against Wei, which is related to the fact that the Shu Han is called orthodox. When the Shu Han later recognized Sun Quan as the emperor, the Shu Han no longer had the qualification to call itself orthodox. How could there be a case of Wei Commandery rebelling against Wei and surrendering to Shu?"
"The rest of what I want to say to you is more important." Yun took a sip of tea and continued: "The name of orthodoxy does not have to be lost. If it is about to be in danger, it may be of great benefit, and the name of orthodoxy does not have to be lost.
We must persist. But what benefits has the Shu Han gained by losing the name of orthodoxy? It is just that the alliance between Shu and Wu has become closer. But no matter how close the alliance between Shu and Wu is, it will never be possible for them to work together to conquer Wei; no matter how bad the relationship between the two countries is,
, the State of Wu would not send a large army to attack Yizhou. Therefore, the Shu Han lost its orthodox status but gained nothing, so I say this is the biggest failure of Marquis Wu. You must remember this even if you become a queen in the future, you cannot
Throw away your righteous reputation at will."
"My son/nephew needs to be taught." Most of the people present agreed sincerely.
