About what Liu Bei said at Zhang Fei’s funeral in New Three Kingdoms...

Because the relationship between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang became a little subtle after the Battle of Chibi.

Zhuge Liang made strategic planning for Liu Bei, which is the famous <> Logically speaking, it is entirely possible for Liu Bei to implement this strategic plan after the Battle of Chibi, and Zhuge Liang should also show off his skills, but for some reason Zhuge Liang became silent. From the Battle of Chibi (208 AD) to Baidi Tuogu (223 AD) ), for the whole 15 years, we rarely saw Zhuge Liang, and rarely heard his voice. Liu Bei led Pang Tong into Shu, and he led Fazheng to attack Hanzhong. Zhuge Liang's job was to "adjust its taxes" The second is to "guard Chengdu and have enough food for the troops". Therefore, Liu Bei regretted Pang Tong's death in battle and shed tears after saying "Fazheng died of illness and Liu Bei shed tears for it all day long". Contribute more to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei seems to have deeper feelings for Pang Tong and Fazheng.

The strange thing is that Guan Yu's expedition to Xiangfan and Liu Bei's expedition to Soochow turned out to be wrong. Why didn't Zhuge Liang oppose it? Especially Liu Bei's expedition to Soochow. At that time (221 years), Hou Pang Tong died early, and Fa Zheng also died (220 years). Why did Zhuge Liang still say nothing? We found the only record in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms "Fa Zheng Zhuan". After Liu Bei defeated Xiaoting, Zhuge Liang sighed: " If the law and filial piety are upright, we will be able to stop the emperor and prevent him from marching eastward (we can control the emperor and order him not to go eastward), and even if he marches eastward, he will not be defeated so miserably (he will not be in danger)!"

Is this Zhuge Liang's reflection after the war? Horrible, wouldn't it be "Zhuge Liang with the benefit of hindsight"? Because Zhuge Liang has an unspeakable secret. Everyone who has seen Longzhong Dui knows that Zhuge Liang has always advocated "external ties with Sun Quan", because He believed that Soochow "can be used for aid but not for gain". From this point of view, it can be seen that he did not advocate the Eastern Expedition. However, he did not come forward to stop or dissuade. There are two possibilities: one is that he also had hope and did not want to give up. The second reason is that he knew that even if he said it, it would be useless.

Is there any evidence for the latter one? Yes, it is his sentence: "If the law is filial and upright, then it will be able to To put it bluntly: first, Liu Bei only listens to Fa Zheng. If Fa Zheng objects, Liu Bei will definitely not march eastward; second, if Fa Zheng is not around, Liu Bei will not listen to anyone, including Zhuge Liang (who, by the way, was opposed at that time) Liu Bei's Eastern Expedition did not end well (Fei Shi was demoted, Yong Mao was killed, Qin Mi was imprisoned, Liu Ba resigned, Zhao Yun was not trusted and was not allowed to accompany the army in the Eastern Expedition). Obviously, the relationship between Fazheng, Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bei They are different. Liu Bei can only treat Zhuge Liang as "respecting each other as a guest", but he can only "obey his words" when it comes to Fa Zheng.

There is another thing that illustrates the subtle relationship between the two. According to "Three Kingdoms. Biography of Zhuge Liang" Liu Bei said After the emperor, Zhuge Liang was appointed as the prime minister, and recorded the affairs of the minister, Jiajie (granting Shang Fang a sword), and also served as the Sili Xiaowei (supervising the capital and local supervisors). On the surface, Zhuge Liang was superior to ten thousand people, but Zhuge Liang This prime minister does not "open a government office".

Opening a government office is a system of the Han Dynasty, which means "opening a government office to manage affairs". The so-called opening a government office means opening a government office, and setting up subordinate officials means having their own direct affairs. Institutions and lower-level officials mean that there is a "Prime Minister's Office" that is independent of the "Imperial Palace" and is independent of the "Imperial Power" (Cao Cao's Gu Ming ministers are all in charge of the office, Cao Zhen, Chen Qun, Sima Yi, etc.) In fact, it means Decentralization of power in the hands of the emperor. So Liu Bei appointed Zhuge Liang as prime minister but did not allow him to open the government. I am afraid it can only be understood that Liu Bei was worried about the loss of power and did not fully trust Zhuge Liang. In other words, Liu Bei did not have "unlimited trust" or "unlimited trust" in Zhuge Liang. "Complete trust", but "limited trust" or "reserved trust"

Why is this happening? Is it because Liu Bei is "greedy with the new and hates the old"? No, it is basically the political philosophy of two people. The conflict that occurred. Everyone knows that Zhuge Liang is a great politician. The typical difference between politicians and politicians is that politicians have ideals and goals (such as Xun Yu), while politicians only have interests (such as Jia Xu). What is Zhuge Liang's ideal? That is "Reviving the Han Dynasty" was an ideal that ran through his life. Did Liu Bei have an ideal? Maybe he did at first, but later he seemed to have forgotten it. Why did he forget it? His career developed so fast that he captured Jingzhou and Yizhou in just a few years. He also captured Hanzhong from Cao Cao. To put it bluntly, he was dazzled by the victory. At this time, Liu Bei only had interests in his mind and no ideals, so he attacked Wu instead of Wei at this time.

Hou's idea was to separat one country and become a local emperor. The words "not at odds with the Han traitors" were just used as slogans and signs.

Zhuge Liang of Liu Bei's group and Xun Yu of Cao Cao's group are very similar. The only thing they have in common is that they have political concepts and ideals, and their ideals happen to be the same, which is to restore the Han Dynasty and restore the Han Dynasty. The leaders of these two groups, Cao Cao and Liu Bei, are also very similar. What are they? I had this ideal in the early stage, but it was gone in the later stage. Cao Cao originally had this idea, and Xun Yu would assist him, but that changed later; Zhuge Liang and Xun Yu were really brothers and sisters in the Three Kingdoms period, two major tragedies.

The problem is that Liu Bei forgot but Zhuge Liang did not. The embarrassing thing is that no one can tell about this change. Liu Bei has to pretend that he has not forgotten it, and Zhuge Liang can't expose or remind him. So everyone understands it tacitly. Zhuge Liang does his duty, and Liu Bei goes to grab more benefits
