After Liu Bei settled Yizhou, why did he take the initiative to marry Mrs. Wu, who had been widowed for many years?
However, Ada didn't intend to do that at first, which shows that she is really not outstanding. Later, I married her as a daughter-in-law, but it was because someone told Wu fortune that Wu's life was very good. Asking him to be a daughter-in-law instead of a concubine also shows that Wu's appearance is really not good enough.
Wu is a widow, old and not very attractive. Why did Liu Bei continue to marry after he laid Hanzhong, and later named her queen? Speaking of it, Liu Bei is actually a lecherous person. When he married Mrs. Gan, Liu Bei couldn't put it down because Mrs. Gan was white as jade, and he couldn't wait to be bored with Mrs. Gan all day. But I can't. Liu Bei will March to fight and handle official business. So he put a white jade beauty more than three feet long around him and fiddled with it at any time.
Later, Mrs. Gan thought it was impossible, and Liu Bei was a little tired of playing with things, so she advised Liu Bei to move away. Liu Bei finally moved away. So Liu Bei still has requirements for women. Since Liu Bei has a need for women, why did he marry Wu? An important reason why Liu Bei married Wu was to gain the support of Yizhou local group. For Liu Bei, he is an outsider in Yizhou. It is not easy for a foreigner to establish himself in Yizhou.
As we know, Liu Bei was the first king in Hanzhong. He defeated Cao Cao in the battle with Cao Cao and immediately became the king of Hanzhong after occupying Hanzhong. In fact, Liu Bei first occupied Yizhou, and Yizhou was more famous and powerful than Hanzhong. Why didn't Liu Bei call himself Yizhou King, but wanted to be a lesser-known Hanzhong King? The fundamental reason is Liu Bei's lack of confidence in being king in Yizhou.
Why does Liu Bei lack confidence? Because Yizhou has been closed for a long time, the local power is very strong and deeply rooted. As an outsider, Liu Bei is really not sure whether he can get the support of Yizhou local group. If he is king in Hanzhong and then returns to Yizhou, then his capital will be more, and it will be easier for him to get support and gain a foothold. Of course, in addition to being king in Hanzhong, it is conducive to controlling Yizhou, and more importantly, it is timely to engage in political marriage with Yizhou local groups.
Marrying Wu is the best measure for his political marriage with Yizhou local group. Wu is the daughter-in-law, Liu Zhang's sister-in-law and Liu Xie's wife. When I married Wu, I established a very close relationship with the Liu family, the general leader of Yizhou local group. And because Liu Bei married Liu Zhang's sister-in-law, he is equivalent to Liu Zhang's brother. As Liu Zhang's elder brother, naturally there are many people to lead Yizhou instead of Liu Zhang.
In this way, no one will say that Liu Bei seized the political power of the Liu family. Furthermore, Wu Yi, Wu's brother, is a famous Yizhou star with deep roots. Joining the Wu family can make good relations with the most powerful military group in Yizhou. Political power comes from the gun. As long as he has a good relationship with the military clique, Liu Bei will certainly gain a foothold more easily. In addition to winning the support of Yizhou local group, there is another reason, that is, the legend of Wu's "inevitably expensive".
Why do you want to marry Wu when you don't think highly of him? Because the fortune teller gave Wu a life and said that Wu would be "expensive" in the future. At that time, it was the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the warlords were separated. It is the dream of every vassal to unify the country, change dynasties and establish a new dynasty. To achieve this goal, we naturally need the hard power of the army. However, the ancients were very superstitious. Even with the hard power of the army, it may not be able to win the country. The key depends on whether you are destined to be an emperor.
If you have this life, even if your strength is insufficient, you can still succeed in the end. But "the secret is unpredictable", and no one knows who God will make emperor. And Wu is "necessarily expensive". Does it mean that being Wu's husband can make him an emperor? So Ada married Wu Na as his daughter-in-law. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before Ada's son Liu Xie passed away. But in Liu Bei's view, Liu Xie's death seems to be more fulfilled, and Wu is a "inevitably expensive" person.
Liu Xie will die because he has no "destiny". Even if you reluctantly marry Wu, you will be "killed" by Wu. Just like when Wei Bao married Ji Bo because Ji Bo was "inevitably expensive" and was finally killed. Liu Bei thought he was Liu Bang. If he marries Wu, he will become the emperor who rules the world. For the above reasons, Liu Bei married Wu without hesitation. Later, when she became emperor, she did not hesitate to make her queen.
