Where does the relationship of father, son, monarch and minister, love and "kill" each other come from?

The relationship between father and son has always been a bit delicate.

In traditional Chinese culture, the relationship between father and son is somewhat tangled. This kind of entanglement is particularly concentrated in the imperial family.

The father-son relationship between emperor and minister is the core, and it is also an important part of the ancient Chinese emperor's ability to maintain the family, world, and society. However, because it involves the change of power, the relationship between father and son in ancient Chinese royal families is usually a love-hate relationship, in a state of love and murder.

Xiaoyin admits that he is very bad, and on Father’s Day, he wants to talk about the awkward relationship between father and son, monarch and minister.

Liu Bei vs Adou

How could I have such a stupid son?

Fathers often have high expectations for their sons. When I was young, I was often looked down upon by my father. Why am I such a stupid son?

For example, we are all familiar with Liu Bei and Adou.

Liu Bei

A person like Adou who relies on stupidity to become famous throughout the ages is really amazing. Our current terminology of "Adou who cannot support me" and "luckily miss Shu" all come from his story.

Liu Chan (nicknamed Adou)

“I don’t want to miss Shu”

Perhaps it is a pity that the country of Shu was destroyed in the hands of such a stupid son, Luo Guanzhong wrote in "Three Kingdoms" In "The Romance", the plot of Liu Bei wrestling Adou was fabricated. Although research found that there was no such thing in history, this story is still talked about.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei and Cao Cao were at war. Although Liu Bei broke out of the siege, his family was trapped in the siege of Cao Cao's army.

General Zhao Yun tried his best to assassinate him, and after going in and out seven times, he finally found Liu Bei's son Adou.

Liu Bei took his son and threw Adou, who was still a baby, to the ground, and cursed: "I almost lost a general because of you, you loser!" Fortunately, Zhao Yun stopped him in time! , to avoid the tragedy.

Did Adou be knocked stupid by his father?

If it were put today, Liu Bei would have been judged to have a serious tendency to abuse children. Alas, but having said that, sometimes looking at naughty children can make people really anxious, so what should I do?

Liu Taigong vs. Liu Bang

Large-scale face-slapping scene: The naughty boy is promising!

People like Adou are truly hopeless prodigals, but there is another kind of naughty kid who seems to have no future, but in fact his father has misjudged him, such as the grassroots emperor Liu Bang.

Liu Bang

Liu Bang’s father, Liu Taigong, had three sons.

The eldest son, Uncle Liu, died early, leaving behind an orphan and a widowed mother. The second son Liu Zhong was very proficient in farm work. Liu Taigong was very optimistic about this son. The third son Liu Ji (later renamed Liu Bang) was idle all day long. After working as a minor official in the local area, he led a group of friends home to eat and drink. Taigong Liu scolded him all day long and felt that Liu Bang had no future.

Later, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled against Qin, and Liu Bang also disrupted the situation. With his wit and talent, he became the founding king of the Han Dynasty.

After becoming the emperor, Liu Bang originally led a large number of troops to visit Liu Taigong every five days, but one day the Taigong's housekeeper said to the Taigong: "Your son is now the emperor, although you are the emperor." Your father can only be regarded as a minister, how dare you ask the emperor to give you gifts every time?"

At this moment, Liu Taigong suddenly realized that the naughty boy who had been taught by him before was now worthy of being the emperor? Yes! Okay, my dad is not an unreasonable person. Since you are so powerful, I will accept your defeat.

So the next time Liu Bang came to visit the grandpa, the grandpa was waiting at the door with a broom in advance. After seeing his son, he immediately swept the floor and stepped back to show that he was welcoming the emperor with the courtesy of a courtier.

Another interesting thing is that history books record that Liu Bang congratulated his grandfather on his birthday. Liu Bang said to his grandfather: "Dad, you used to say that I have no ability to survive and can't make much money." , Not as good as the second brother. Who is bigger now than my second brother?"

Isn't this a big face-slapping scene? Although Taigong Liu is a bit embarrassed, what can he say? I had no choice but to follow the emperor's lead.

So, fathers, don’t underestimate the naughty children in your family now~

Zhu Yuanzhang vs Zhu Biao

How can I train you like this? Not enlightened?

History is always surprisingly similar. Zhu Yuanzhang and his eldest son Zhu Biao of the Ming Dynasty also ended in tragedy.

When Zhu Biao was born in 1355, Zhu Yuanzhang was still leading his troops to attack Jiqing (now Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province). Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely excited when he received the news of the birth of his eldest son. He carved eight characters on a mountain where he was stationed: "Those who come to this mountain will have no heirs."

It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang was ecstatic about having a son.

Zhu Yuanzhang

Zhu Yuanzhang loved his eldest son very much. After being established as the crown prince, Zhu Yuanzhang invited a luxurious teacher team of up to 23 people for him.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang also went into battle personally. He taught his son to observe people's livelihood and understand people's sentiments when visiting mountains and rivers; he told Zhu Biao about his experience in starting a business, so that he could understand the difficulty of starting a business and the hardships of maintaining success.

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang's efforts for his sons were largely occupied by Zhu Biao alone.

Zhu Biao

However, things went counterproductive. Although Zhu Biao grew up under Zhu Yuanzhang's careful guidance, he had a completely different personality from Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Biao is gentle, elegant and kind-hearted, while Zhu Yuanzhang is suspicious by nature and likes killing. Father and son often disagreed about the same events.

For example, Zhu Biao’s former teacher Song Lian was later involved in the Hu Weiyong case. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to execute Song Lian, but the prince saved him from death.

For another example, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to execute a group of prisoners and let the prince review them, which would be a training for Zhu Biao, but Zhu Biao thought this was too cruel and insisted on reducing the punishment.

Father and son have been fighting each other like this for 38 years.

In 1392, Zhu Biao died of illness. Zhu Yuanzhang was heartbroken when he gave away his white-haired man to his black-haired man. His lifelong passion for education was spent on his most beloved son, who not only had a personality incompatibility with him during his lifetime, but also left him so early.

Life is hard!

In the royal family, the relationship between father and son is no longer a simple family connection. Neither father nor son can avoid the emperor's supreme power. Therefore, in the royal family, there will always be some exposure. The shocking news seemed unbelievable both at the time and now.

But although it is fun to eat melon, who wants this turbulent family relationship to really happen to them? There is no dispute over rights, and giving to your children without asking for anything in return is what fatherly love is.

A tribute to the ordinary and great father’s love!
