Chapter 599: Liu Chan, a benevolent king who is as wise as a fool and whose skill in concealment is far superior to that of his father.

The Jian'an dimension of the Han Dynasty.

Nanyang County.

I saw a man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, holding [Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms] in his hand, lying leisurely on a chair, basking in the sun.

A phoenix the size of a palm lay on the man's shoulder, also drowsy.

Sudden.

I heard a wailing sound from a distance:

"Father, you must save me!"

"Emperor Gaozu asked me to transform into Boyikao. I don't want to be made into a meat pie by Emperor Sui Yang!"

"Xiangfu, Xiangfu... you must save me."

however.

Zhuge Liang acted as if he couldn't hear it. He stretched out and covered his face with the "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

In just a few breaths, he fell into a deep sleep.

A few seconds passed.

Liu Chan came to the door and saw his beloved father in the yard, and was about to push the door open and enter.

"boom"

A formation was seen rising up, covering the entire thatched cottage.

Seeing this scene, Liu Chan was dumbfounded and cried:
"Xiangfu, I have no choice but to surrender to the Wei Dynasty. Besides Yang Yi, I have entrusted all the ministers you recommended with important responsibilities."

"Father, your apprenticeship schedule is too short..."

After a while.

Zhuge Liang really couldn't bear the sound of crying outside the door, so he sat up, looked at Liu Chan across the formation, and said:
"Your Highness, why are you here?"

"If I remember correctly, His Majesty seemed to have promised me that I would be allowed to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and would no longer serve as an official."

Although Liu Chan is now fifty-six years old, in front of Zhuge Liang, he is like a child and said aggrievedly:
"Father, I don't want to disturb your purity. It's all the fault of Emperor Gaozu, who asked me to take Boyikao instead."

"He also said that the reason why he was able to sit on the throne was because he knew people well and made good use of them. Then he asked me to come find reinforcements."

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he did not show any surprise on his face. He had obviously made some guesses and said meaningfully:

"Adou, it's easy for me to come out to help you. His Majesty visited the thatched cottage three times in the past, and I also have three questions today."

Liu Chan's face showed joy and he said with a smile:

"My father-in-law has questions. Just ask them. Don't ask three questions. Even if you ask thirty or three hundred questions, I can still answer them."

Zhuge Liang looked down at the [Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms] in his hand and asked casually:

"My question is, if Wei Yan was killed during the rebellion, why did you give him a coffin to bury him in?"

Liu Chan touched the back of his head, smiled honestly, and explained:
"Father, Wei Yan is one of my father's most trusted generals, even more than Ma Chao. How could he suddenly rebel?"

"It's just because Wei Yan is aloof and arrogant, and he doesn't get along with Chang Shi Yang Yi, so he lost the battle."

"Because he has made great military exploits for the great Han Dynasty, I gave him a coffin to bury him, which is what he should have done."

Zhuge Liang shook his head, obviously dissatisfied with Liu Chan's answer, and then asked:

"Second question, I dedicated my whole life to the great man and died. Why don't I build a temple after my death?"

This statement came out.

The smile on Liu Chan's face gradually disappeared, and he looked at his father-in-law in front of him suspiciously. After a long silence, he asked:
"You...could you be Mr. Shiyuan pretending to be here to tease me?"

Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction Liu Chan came from, and said:
"Since you can't answer, then leave quickly and don't disturb my clear dream."

In desperation, Liu Chan had no choice but to confess:

"Since ancient times, only the royal family has the Ancestral Temple and the Ancestral Temple to worship ancestors. Xiangfu, you are not a member of the royal family, so..." "For this reason, I also summoned all the ministers to express their opinions and speak freely. The result is still that I should not give you a The temple will damage your moral character and conduct throughout your life."

At the end, Liu Chan was afraid that Zhuge Liang would be angry, so he explained:
"Xiangfu, but later on, I still built your temple in Mianyang to stop private worship among the people and to uphold the righteousness."

Zhuge Liang's face darkened, as if he was quite dissatisfied, and asked:

"Third question, are you really happy and missing Shu here?"

When Liu Chan heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He was ashamed and embarrassed. He stood there, not knowing how to explain it for a moment.

He raised his head repeatedly, but was retreating steadily under Zhuge Liang's angry gaze.

In the end, he just sat down on the ground and said with a guilty conscience:

"My dear father, the third question is, if you haven't seen the cause and effect from the history books, why do you still ask?"

"I don't care, if you don't come out today, I won't leave!"

After the words fell, Zhuge Liang said word by word:

"Can't answer? How about I answer it for you?"

"Sima Zhao asked you if you want to be in Shu, which is very similar to Cao Cao's time when he cooked green plum wine. He is testing your ambition."

"Since ancient times, how many kings who have subjugated their country have a good ending? For example, Wang Mang poisoned Emperor Ping, and Dong thief poisoned the young emperor."

"Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty, just because of the east wind in the small building last night, the motherland could not bear to look back in the moonlight, it attracted a glass of life-threatening poisonous wine."

"And you just said "I am happy here, don't think about Shu", and then gently opened it, saving more than 50 ministers and their families. You are so thoughtful that I am afraid everyone in the world has misjudged you."

Liu Chan rubbed the back of his head, grinned, and said honestly:
"Father, I still can't hide this from you."

"If I had really answered that my late father's grave was far away in Shu, I would have felt sad and thought about it every day. I would have ended up with either a cup of poisoned wine or Bai Ling."

"The general situation is like this, and there is nothing I can do. I can only exchange the honor and disgrace of my body, the success or failure of my family, for the perfection of the country. I can be considered as fulfilling my responsibility as the emperor of the Han Dynasty."

When Zhuge Liang heard this, his anger turned into joy and he was very pleased. It should be noted that after his death, Liu Chan became the emperor for another 29 years.

When he was in power, there was never any conflict between the royal family and the genocide of ministers. Instead, his domestic and foreign policies were shrewd and peaceful, with a Huang Lao style.

In contrast, in Wei and Wu, killing ministers or being plotted to kill by powerful ministers was like child's play.

Can't help feeling:
"Good, good, good."

"But why do you keep a low profile in front of Emperor Gaozu and the others? Is it possible that you want to be Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty?"

Liu Chan waved his hands repeatedly when he heard this, his face turned pale, and he said:

"No, no, no, goodbye, Xiangfu, please stop teasing me. How can I dare to be Tang Taizong? It's just that the great man perished in my hands after all."

"Furthermore, as the saying goes, there is a difference between closeness and distance... Emperor Gaozu, Grandpa Emperor Wu, and others also all have princes."

"If my father can end the war and the people can recuperate, it will be a great blessing."

Zhuge Liang said with a smile but not a smile:

"So, just to keep a low profile, you want to push me into a pit of fire?"

"Do you want me to be Han Xin? Or Zhang Liang?"

Liu Chan smiled bitterly and said:

"Xiangfu, I am really helpless. You also know that according to Emperor Gaozu's temperament, if I don't come, I'm afraid it will be Emperor Gaozu himself who comes next time."

Zhuge Liang sat up from his chair, and with a thought, the sleepy phoenix on his shoulders turned into aura and floated between heaven and earth.

Immediately.

Zhuge Liang looked around at the plants and trees, and said with a smile:

"Forget it, let's go to the Great Tribulation of the Gods and see how those so-called saints treat all things like civets."
