Who in history are there who are obviously very powerful but are said to be weak and incompetent?

I think Liu Chan, the last monarch of Shu, is very powerful, but he has been hacked all day long, either because he can't help Adou, or because he is weak and incompetent, and he has no opinions of his own. I knew all day long that I was hiding under Zhuge Liang's wings, like a child who didn't grow up. After being destroyed by Cao Wei, he was even more indulged in drunken gold all day long, and when he was under house arrest, he said the phrase "I can't think of it", which made future generations laugh and be generous.

In fact, I think that an emperor who can stay on the throne for more than 40 years must have his merits, and it is actually unfair and unreasonable to be evaluated by future generations. The main reason is that people use false rumors and the excessive myth of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Zhuge Liang, thinking that he is an omnipotent character who can reach the sky and enter the ground. In fact, in history, Zhuge Liang was only a person who had a certain influence on agricultural reform and economic development, and in military affairs, his talent was far less amazing than what was written in the book.

Even after the death of Pang Tong, Shu basically never fought any decent victories again. There are no so-called several Northern Expeditions, defeats of Cao Wei and the like, everything is just the legend of the ancients and the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Because of this, Liu Chan has carried the black cauldron for thousands of years and has become the object of everyone's ridicule.

In fact, the Shu Kingdom, at any time, is the weakest of the three kingdoms, and it is located in the southwest corner. As the founding emperor, Liu Bei died of illness after only two or three years in power. Everything has to be controlled by Liu Chan, who is only 17 years old.

Looking at how old the current leaders of the country are, I want a 17-year-old boy to take over such a burden, and I am sure that the country will be a mess.

And Liu Chan was ordered in times of crisis, both in terms of employing people and in terms of power, he showed his outstanding aspects. Continued such a weak country for more than forty years. During this period, there was no large-scale turmoil in the country, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, making it the earliest country of abundance.

In the end, it was destroyed by Cao Wei, all because the area was too small, and the vast majority of the territory was plateau and mountainous, which was not suitable for human habitation, and the population was too small, which had nothing to do with Liu Chan.

Now every time I see someone hacking Liu Chan, I silently cry out for him in my heart.

I want to talk about Wang Mang, everyone's impression of Wang Mang may be negative, that is because of the usurpation of power, but aside from it, then Wang Mang is not a "villain". On the contrary, he was a humble gentleman and a corporal. And the incompetence in the traditional impression is also not true, to put it bluntly, Wang Mang's reform of politics is very similar to the reform of China's founding of the country, and he also invented a kind of ruler, which is also the most scary place, as for the crossing theory, it was born from this.

I think we should look at history on a case-by-case basis, not mix personal emotions and ignore personal ability, so Wang Mang is not incompetent, just a failed politician.
