High reputation, but different reputation, when it comes to wisdom, future generations often think of Zhuge Liang; When it comes to treachery, later generations often say Cao Cao; When it comes to kindness, future generations will first mention Lu Su. Although these reputations are deeply rooted in people's hearts, they are often far from the real history. There is such a lean man. In real history, he was powerful for a while. In the novel, his appearance rate is very low and his image is greatly reduced. He made a green leaf watch for his brothers.
In fact, Liu Biao is still a little famous, but such fame is thanks to his disappointing son. His son, who ruined the country, made Cao Cao comment that his son should be like the sons of Sun Zhongmou and Liu Jingsheng, like dolphins and dogs. The son made a green leaf for Sun Quan and a wedding dress for Liu Bei himself.
So, in real history, what kind of person is Liu Biao, the father of this dolphin dog? A Liu Biao Zi Jingsheng, a native of Gaoping, Shandong Province, is a descendant of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty. Compared with Liu Bei's position as Wang Jing after Zhongshan, he can say that his roots are in Hong Miao, and his family has good economic conditions, at least he doesn't have to sell straw sandals like Liu Bei. As an orthodox aristocratic family, Liu Biao was a high-profile figure in political movements since he was a child. He has received a good education since childhood, and his study is not simple. His master was Wang Chang, a great scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Wang Chang was an important figure of Confucianism in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and actively advocated the golden mean, which had a far-reaching influence on later generations. Liu Biao began to study with Wang Chang when he was young. This experience made him an outstanding intellectual in the Eastern Han Dynasty and changed his future destiny.
Although he studied the golden mean, Liu Biao was not the golden mean at all when he was young. On the contrary, he is an angular cynic. Liu Biao's youth was ruled by Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty. During this period, the biggest political cancer in the Eastern Han Dynasty was the growing eunuch dictatorship. Liu Biao hated eunuchs very much when he was young. When he was studying in imperial academy, the highest institution of learning in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he led students to launch a petition to ask eunuchs in power to leave class. He also ran around in many ways to support the literati persecuted by eunuchs. Especially when eunuchs were preparing to launch a big purge and persecute the scholar-officials, they sent people to imperial academy to check the people who had close contact with the Korean scholar-officials, and others were afraid to speak. Liu Biao was the first to stand up and write his name on the roster. These early experiences made him famous.
At that time, he was one of the eight famous handsome men. Besides him, there are seven people: Zhang Yin, Zhang Yin, Zhang Yin, Zhang Yin, Zhang Yin, Gong Yin and Tian Lin. These eight people were young talents recognized by intellectuals in the Eastern Han Dynasty at that time who had both knowledge and courage to provoke moral burdens. They were shortlisted with extremely high conditions. They had to be born in a famous family and had earth-shattering feats, and they were among them, which shows Liu Biao's fame at this time.
Being famous comes at a price. After being eight handsome for a few days, the liquidation came. In A.D. 166, eunuchs Zhao Jin and Hou Lan, who were exposed by the literati, secretly sorted out a lot of black materials and framed the literati with ulterior motives. Li Yong and other literati were immediately arrested by the partial Han Emperor, who called them party member and cast a net all over the country to search for their associates. This is the famous party struggle disaster in the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty. This persecution of literati lasted for decades, and thousands of intellectuals were arrested. After the arrest of important figures among the scholar-officials, the eunuch immediately accused Luo Zhi of committing crimes and published a list of party member suspected of rebellion. Liu Biao's name looms large, making him a prisoner of the imperial court. Fortunately, Liu Biao had a good popularity at that time, and he had prestige not only among the literati, but also among the eunuchs in the DPRK. Besides, he is a member of the royal family. After hiding for a while, he was finally pardoned. Although I got my life back, I also lived in fear for several years.
This major case that shocked the Eastern Han Empire has affected Liu Biao's concept of life: anger can't save the country, and vigorous resistance leads to extinction. So what's the point of such resistance? If Liu Biao only learned the golden mean before, then he began to understand the golden mean from then on, and he has been pursuing the golden mean since then.
After the disaster, Liu Biao hid in Tibet and fortunately escaped the purge. After Emperor Han Ling lifted the party ban, he saw the light of day again. This is the late second century AD. Liu Biao's youth has long passed, and the ups and downs all the year round have made him no longer angular and more sophisticated.
After the disaster of fighting against different factions was lifted, Liu Biao first took a post in the central government. He is good at dealing with relationships, and his consorts and eunuchs get along well with him. In A.D. 190, Liu Biao finally got the most important appointment in his life: becoming a shepherd in Jingzhou. At this time, the Eastern Han Empire was no longer centralized, and the country was on the eve of disintegration. Jingzhou, where Liu Biao took office, was a place of constant war at that time. Before the Yellow turban insurrectionary, Jingzhou was one of the main battlefields and was severely damaged in the war. Before Dong Zhuo's rebellion, one of the two Jingzhou herders was beaten away by local thugs and the other was killed by a tribe that came to harass from the south. The situation of the Eastern Han government at this time is also very troublesome. Dong Zhuo, a powerful minister, entered Beijing from Hexi and took control of the imperial power. The emperor became his puppet. Northern governors, unwilling to be despotic by Dong Zhuo, launched a war against Dong Zhuo under the banner of helping Han. Jingzhou, located in the south of Luoyang, became the rear area that Dong Zhuo wanted to stabilize. Before Liu Biao, the animal husbandry in Jingzhou was Wang Rui. When Sun Jian conquered Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian forced him to commit suicide because he refused to cooperate with Sun Jian. Jingzhou is in chaos at this time. In order to stabilize Jingzhou, Dong Zhuo thought of Liu Biao.
At this time, Liu Biao had been in the golden mean for many years in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
After the disaster of partisan struggle, he first became the chief of staff of General Braise. He Jin was at odds with eunuchs and wanted to invite frontier generals to Beijing to kill eunuchs, but they killed him.
Then Dong Zhuo went to Beijing and took power. Liu Biao survived the chaos. During this period, eunuchs were in power and did not offend. Later, when Dong Zhuo came, he still obeyed and became a typical swing figure. After Wang Rui's death, Dong Zhuo needed an obedient honest man to guard Jingzhou in the face of fierce crusade from all walks of life in the north. Liu Biao, who has always been honest, became the best candidate.
In 190, Liu Biao came to Jingzhou. At this time, Jingzhou thieves and soldiers were everywhere. Yuan Shu in the north of Jingzhou, Sun Jian and Huang Zu in the east all have the intention of annexing Jingzhou. After Liu Biao arrived in Jingzhou, he rode alone to Xuancheng, an important town in Jingzhou. When there was a mutiny in Jingzhou, the famous local aristocratic families took refuge here. Around Xuancheng, there are thieves, big and small, and city people dare not go out casually. Regardless of the danger, Liu Biao came to visit the local aristocratic families alone to win their support. His bravery made all the nobles admire him very much and gave Liu Biao money and food in succession. In this way, Liu Biao has the first army loyal to him, and two generals who can be called right-hand men: Ben Yue and Cai Mao.
