After Liu Chan carved "Zhongshan Village" on the door, why did Sima Zhao no longer want to kill him?

On Wanbai Mountain in the east of Shu Village, more than ten kilometers north of Heshan District, Hebi City, Henan Province, there is a very famous tourist attraction called Adou Village, with a total area of ??about 5,000 square meters.

This Adou Village was originally called Zhongshan Village. It is said that it was named by Liu Chan, the empress of the Shu Han Dynasty.

After the fall of the Shu Han Dynasty, Liu Chan was captured and brought to Luoyang. Emperor Wei Yuan, under the instruction of Sima Zhao, made Liu Chan the Duke of Anle, and 50 of his descendants and ministers were made princes. Objectively speaking, Liu Chan's treatment as a subjugated king is already very good.

Once, Sima Zhao and Liu Chan had a banquet together, and specially taught Liu Chan to perform the music and dance of his homeland Shu. All the Shu officials nearby were sad and shed tears, but Liu Chan was the only one who laughed happily and remained indifferent. Sima Zhaobian took the opportunity to ask Liu Chan if he missed his homeland, but Liu Chan replied: "I am happy here, but I don't miss Shu."

Seeing this situation, Sima Zhao said to his confidant Jia Chong: "People are so ruthless. Even if Zhuge Liang is alive, he cannot help him stay safe for a long time, let alone Jiang Wei." Woolen cloth? ?After this incident, Sima Zhao felt a lot more relieved about Liu Chan, but he was still a little worried in his heart. After all, he was not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case.

So, Sima Zhao put Liu Chan and his ministers under house arrest and sent people to monitor them at all times. In the next few years, Liu Chan and his ministers began to live in the place of house arrest. Over time, this place also became... A village was gradually formed, called Shu Village. After the village was formed, it was natural to give it a name. Liu Chan thought about it and named it: Zhongshan Village.

When Sima Zhao heard the name of this Zhongshan village, he completely let go of his guard against Liu Chan. Because, this "zhongshanzhai" is in turn "zhaishanzhong", and "zhaishanzhong" has a similar sound to "zhaizhai". In other words, Liu Chan means that he only wants to stay in the mountains for the rest of his life and does not want to participate in external disputes anymore. No more fighting for power.

Although this story is said to have a nose and eyes, it is actually a standard folk tale, and logically speaking, it cannot withstand scrutiny.

First of all, does "being in the mountains" mean that you will never leave the mountains? Can't it be understood that it is a matter of waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback? In other words, if Liu Chan really wanted to stay away from the mountain for the rest of his life, why didn't he beg to reduce his title and expel his old officials from Shu? Wouldn't it be a better way to express his ambition?

Secondly, Sima Zhao is not a fool. If Liu Chan can use "In the Mountains" to reveal his true feelings, then the drama between him and him of "Happy here, not thinking about Shu" is just pretending to be stupid. If Liu Chan was really such a scheming person, even if Sima Zhao did not kill him, he would impose many restrictions on him, or at least transfer the Shu ministers around him, but Sima Zhao never did this.

Finally, in the history of the Three Kingdoms, none of the conquered kings was killed. From Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to Liu Chan of the Shu Han Dynasty, and from Cao Huan of Wei to Sun Hao of Soochow, they perished in the country. After that, they were all treated favorably by Sima Zhao and Sima Yan and his son. Even the cruel Sun Hao died of natural illness in the end. Sima Zhao really had no reason to kill Liu Chan.

So, the more realistic situation is that Liu Chan was imprisoned here. He missed his ancestors every day, so he named his village Zhongshan Village in the name of the descendants of Liu Sheng, the ninth son of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, Prince Jing of Zhongshan. He also wrote an inscription to express his guilt for his parents.
