Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 286 The Crown Prince’s “Interview”

Strictly speaking, Liu Chan has not officially assumed the position of crown prince yet.

The canonization of a crown prince also requires a ceremony. It does not mean that after Lao Liu ascends the throne, he, the crown prince, will automatically be promoted.

Of course, even if Liu Chan's answer in this "interview" did not satisfy Lao Liu, in fact Lao Liu had no better choice.

But Liu Chan still attaches great importance to it. From the series of arrangements made by Liu Chan in his previous life before his death, it can be seen that whether his son and descendants can solely control power and prosperity is not his first consideration.

In history, what he said to Prime Minister Zhuge, "If the heir can help, he can help; if he is not talented, you can take care of yourself." This fully illustrates that whether he can finally calm down Han and prosper Liu, and defeat thieves, is what he sees. first priority.

If his own ideas don't reassure Lao Liu, maybe he will make many additional arrangements to "assist" himself.

But support will also be a constraint for me at certain times.

"You guys go down first." Old Liu threw the weapon to the waiters and waved them away.

"Yes."

The crowds of idlers filed out.

Only the father and son were left in the garden. Old Liu sat casually on the ground beside a flower pond and patted the open space beside him: "Sit down."

Liu Bei's expression at this time was extremely rare in Liu Chan's eyes, even though the relationship between father and son was much closer and they understood each other much better.

But this kind expression like an ordinary old man still rarely appears.

Liu Chan, who had been born in two lifetimes but lacked the love of his biological father, could not explain what he felt in his heart for a moment. He just followed the instructions and sat beside Lao Liu, silently.

But Old Liu looked at his son with such a kind smile, staring at him until Liu Chan's scalp went numb.

"Old man, could you please stop staring at me like that? I'm so scared..." Liu Chan's father's sudden warm gaze made Liu Chan feel on pins and needles and he couldn't help but say deliberately.

Old Liu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and cursed: "...You brat, you're neither big nor small!"

Returning to the familiar conversation mode made Liu Chan feel much more at ease.

Old Liu looked away, but there was a little regret in his eyes.

For the sake of his ideals and aspirations, he gave up many things, including time with his son.

It's too late to make amends now, and we're not used to each other anymore.

But soon Liu Bei smiled in relief. How could life be perfect and everything go well?

"Adou, do you want to be emperor in the future?"

This question was asked too directly without warning at all, which surprised Liu Chan and did not react for a while.

He thought Liu Bei would ask him what he thought of the Northern Expedition, his methods of imperial control, his philosophy of governing the country, his understanding of agriculture, mulberry industry and commerce...

Liu Chan had sorted out these questions in his mind before he came, but he didn't expect the old man to ask such a question.

Old Liu beside him didn't look at himself anymore, he just squinted his eyes and looked at the butterflies flying in the flower pond.

But Liu Chan quickly said firmly: "I want to."

There is no other answer to this question, whether it is based on his understanding of Lao Liu or his own heart.

Lao Liu was not surprised. He nodded and asked, "Then what do you want to do if you become the emperor?"

Kuang Fu Han's room was returned to the old capital.

Wake up with a murderous sword in your hand, and lie drunk on a beautiful woman's knee.

Open up territory and conquer all barbarians.

Leave a name in history, shock the past and sparkle the present.

……

Too many alternative answers flashed through Liu Chan's mind. He began to analyze instinctively what answer Lao Liu wanted to hear most, and carefully selected in his heart.

In the end, my mouth was open. I looked at Old Liu's gray hair, his face with many wrinkles, and his eyes that had never succumbed to fate in his life, but I couldn't tell the story of the one I had carefully chosen. Answer. "...I don't like this world." Liu Chan finally gave up thinking, but couldn't control his words and spoke on his own.

The "examination answers" he prepared were wiped out in his heart, all distracting thoughts disappeared, leaving only a few pictures that were still very clear.

While weeping bitterly, with tears and snot in his eyes, he ate the soldiers who had starved to death first.

Sucking on her mother's shriveled chest, she found that her mother's body had gradually become cold, and she could only make out the weak cry of a thin baby.

A desperate old man with empty eyes, still alive, but letting maggots begin to eat away at his body.

For half a bag of grain, the crazy men bit and killed with blood-red eyes like wild beasts...

"I don't like this world." Liu Chan repeated with emphasis, "I want it to gradually become what I like."

It's that simple.

He doesn't want to flaunt his kindness and nobleness, but he would feel uncomfortable living in such a world.

There was no way that he could be put in a cage in such a world and be kept in captivity to enjoy the glory and wealth while saying "I am happy here and don't miss Shu".

Lao Liu was not surprised by this answer. This child has been different from others since he was a child.

He always had a great reaction to many things that others took for granted. When he was a child, he would say incomprehensible things all day long and always do some ridiculous things...

Many people feel that this son is nothing like him except in appearance.

But Liu Bei didn't think so. He never doubted that the most essential part of Liu Chan was the same as him.

Even when he scolded his son the most harshly and deliberately always praised Liu Feng in front of him, he never doubted this.

"What kind of world do you like?"

Liu Chan was silent for a while and said: "Maybe it's not that perfect, and people may not be so fair between people. Maybe there are still corrupt officials and bullies who bully others...

"But ordinary people can no longer suffer from wars for decades, no longer have to give their children to others to eat, and no longer have to worry about dying of cold or starvation every winter."

After a while, Liu Bei sighed: "It's difficult, very good."

Nothing more was said after that, and no other questions were asked.

Liu Chan didn't know what Lao Liu thought of his answer, so even though his favorability had not increased, his instinct made him not want to give any other answer.

At least judging from Lao Liu's reaction, it shouldn't be bad.

The father and son were sitting quietly by the flower pond in the warm sunshine.

But this moment of leisure was immediately broken by a loud announcement outside the park.

"Your Majesty! Zhang Zhonglang and the envoy from Jiaozhou of Soochow have come to ask for an audience!"

Lao Liu didn't respond for a while, still staring at the flower pond in front of him in a daze.

"Father, father?" Liu Chan pushed him gently.

"Huh?" Liu Bei finally came to his senses, "What's wrong?"

"An envoy from Soochow Jiaozhou has been sent over again. Perhaps it was Zhang Wen who said before that he needs to give us an explanation for the incident in Nanzhong."

After hearing this, Liu Bei's eyes flashed and he regained his former majesty. He stood up and said, "Let's go and follow my father to see how sincere Sun Quan is."

"Yes."

"Calling the ministers to discuss matters, I will be there later."

"As ordered!"

Old Liu, who was striding in front, was slightly different from the past. He seemed to have a free and easy temperament without any worries.

It's just that Liu Chan, who was thinking about the price Wu Laoer was going to ask this time, was not careful enough to notice this subtle change.
