A joke. What do you know?

After Wargo destroyed Shu Han, the late ruler Liu Chan stayed in Chengdu. When Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei launched a mutiny, Si Mazhao thought that Jiang Wei should not stay in Chengdu, so he sent his confidant Jia Chong to take Liu Chan to Luoyang.

Liu Chan was originally an incompetent person. When Zhuge Liang was alive, he was in charge of military and political affairs and dared not make his own decisions. After Zhuge Liang's death, although he was assisted by some civil and military ministers such as Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and Jiang Wei, he was not as cautious as Zhuge Liang was when he was alive. After the death of Jiang Wan and Qi Fei, the eunuch Huang Hao gained power, and the politics of Shu and Han went from bad to worse.

Shu Han died, Jiang Wei was killed, and all the ministers died and left. Only junior officials He Jiong and Liu Tong accompanied him to Luoyang. Liu Chan is not sensible. He doesn't know how to deal with people. His every move depends on correct guidance. At ordinary times, Liu Chan didn't pay attention to politics. By this time, he felt that Zheng Zheng was a loyal person.

When Liu Chan arrived in Luoyang, Si Mazhao named him An Le Gong in the name of Emperor Wei Yuan, and sealed his descendants and more than 50 ministers of Shu Han. Si Mazhao did this only to win the hearts of the people and stabilize the rule of Shu and Han. But in Liu Chan's view, this is a great favor.

On one occasion, Si Mazhao held a grand banquet and invited former ministers from Liu Chan and Shu Han to attend. During the banquet, a group of singers were specially invited to perform songs and dances in Sichuan.

Some ministers of Shu Han watched these songs and dances and remembered the pain of national subjugation. They were so sad that they almost cried. Only Liu Chan looked at it with his mouth wide open, just like in his own palace.

Si Mazhao observed his expression. After drinking, he said to Jia Chong, "Liu Chan is heartless. Even if Zhuge Liang speaks now, I'm afraid I can't keep Shu Han, let alone Jiang Wei! "

A few days later, when I met him, I asked, "Do you still miss Shu?"

Happy to answer: "I am very happy here, and I don't miss Shu anymore."

(That's how the idiom "I don't think" comes from. )

He listened and listened, feeling very unreasonable. When he returned to the mansion, He Zheng said, "You shouldn't answer the King of Jin like this.

Liu Chan said, "What do you mean?"

He Zheng said, "When the King of Jin asks about you again in the future, you should say with tears: My ancestral graves are all in Shu, and I am very sad. I don't want to go there every day.

In that case, maybe King Jin will let us go back. "

Liu Chan nodded and said, "You're right. I will remember that. " Later, Sima Zhao really asked Liu Chan again, saying, "We treat you well here. Do you still want to be comfortable? "

Liu Chan remembered Zheng He's words and accurately recited what Zheng He taught him. He tried to pretend to be sad, but he couldn't squeeze out tears and had to close his eyes.

Si Mazhao saw him like this, the in the mind early understand more than half, smiled and said:

"This seems to be right!"

Liu Chan opened his eyes in surprise, looked at Si Mazhao stupidly and said, "Yes, yes, it's politics."

Si Mazhao couldn't help laughing, and so did the attendants.

Si Mazhao didn't see clearly that Liu Chan was really a fool and wouldn't pose a threat to himself, so he didn't want to kill him.

Liu Chan is famous for his stupidity and incompetence. Later, people often use "A Dou who can't help" as a metaphor for people who are weak and can't cheer him up.
