Chapter 247: Great Wisdom and Foolishness
"Zhang'er." Liu Yan shouted softly.
"Father!" Liu Zhang knelt on the ground, quickly kowtowed twice, and cried.
Seeing Liu Zhang's appearance when he came up, Liu Yan sighed again.
"Do you know why my father came to you today?"
"I don't know." Liu Zhang glanced at Liu Yan's face and said cautiously.
As Liu Yan's youngest son, he was not taken seriously when he was young, and because of his poor talent, he was far inferior to his elder brothers, and his personality became more cowardly.
In this era, the youngest son is not popular, and the eldest son is the most valued. If it weren't for the tragic death of all three sons, Liu Yan wouldn't have remembered this cowardly son.
"Now that the army is besieging the city, my father's life is not long in coming, and you must remember what your father said next." sighed lightly, for this son who had to be careful when talking to him, Liu Yan couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.
"Father!" Liu Zhang's eyes were full of tears, and he whimpered and screamed.
Liu Yan also had mixed feelings in his heart, gently helped his son, and said softly: "Wu'er, it was my father who treated you badly in the past." If it is possible, my father also wants to make up for you, but unfortunately, it is too late. Father's own life can't be saved, the only thing he can do is to save your life. ”
It's not that Liu Yan didn't think about surrendering to Yuan Shu, he didn't have such a high discipline. But now that he surrenders, it is only a dead end, and it is better to choose a decent death like this now than to die after being humiliated.
As the Son of Heaven, he must not bow his head like Yuan Shu.
Indeed, Liu Yan has no way to live. rashly proclaimed the emperor, even Yuan Shu couldn't protect him. It's not that it can't be saved, it's that it's not worth it.
Although the world is in turmoil now, the orthodoxy of the Han family is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it will take at least more than ten years to completely eliminate the influence of the Han family. Otherwise, Yuan Shu would have been proclaimed emperor a long time ago.
For the sake of Liu Yan such an enemy and making the world unhappy, can Yuan Shu do such a stupid thing? Even if Yuan Shu didn't kill him and sent him to Chang'an, he would only be used by Liu Yu to kill chickens and monkeys and deter those who had ambitions for the position of the Son of Heaven.
And Liu Yan's body is not good now, even if he survives, how long can he last? A year? Two years?
A lifetime of hard work is in vain, and it is not intentional to live in the world. The only thing Liu Yan is worried about now is Liu Zhang, the only remaining son.
"Son! You have to remember that after the death of your father, you will no longer be the so-called crown prince, just a commoner. Remember not to make any changes, let alone listen to the villain's instigation, just spend the rest of your life in peace. Liu Yan said slowly.
In the face of a male master like Yuan Shu, Liu Yan had no hope that his stupid son would be able to succeed. Unless Yuan Shu and his powerful civil and military forces suddenly all died violently, who would be able to hold Liu Yan's puddle of mud against the wall?
Liu Zhang can live peacefully and continue his bloodline, and Liu Yan is satisfied.
"My father left you two people to protect you, one is Zhang Ren and the other is Wu Yi."
"Among these two, you can completely trust Zhang Ren, and you will do whatever he tells you to do. As long as you don't make stupid mistakes, he can hold you safe for the rest of your life. ”
"And Wu Yi..."Speaking of this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Liu Yan's eyes: "His father and I are inseparable friends. When so-and-so dies, he will be your brother. But for this person, you have to be careful. Do not disbelieve, but also do not believe completely. ”
"This person will definitely treat you well in terms of our friendship and Zhang Ren's face. But the future is long, and no one knows what will happen in the future. This person has a repetitive personality, not as loyal as Zhang Ren, and you must be wary of him when you grow up. ”
"In addition, after the death of your father, I am afraid that you will be sent to Jinling. When the time comes, you must not be abnormal, and continue to live your old life, without hiding or pretentious. All you need to do is eat, drink and be merry every day, so that you can ensure that you have no worries about your life. ”
Liu Yan said earnestly.
Happiness has caused Liu Chan to bear countless infamy, but in fact, there is nothing wrong with Liu Chan doing this, and it can be said to be the most correct answer.
Sima Zhao arranged the program of Shu Kingdom, and asked Liu Chan how he felt, what does this mean? Isn't it just to test what Liu Chan is thinking? What is the difference between this and Cao Cao's original cooking wine and talking about heroes?
Why didn't Liu Bei do anything to grow vegetables? Why was he taken aback by Cao Cao calling him a hero? Isn't it for hiding, for the sake of preserving life?
Didn't Liu Chan do the same? How could he have answered that situation?
Sad and crying? In addition to adding to Sima Zhao's vigilance, what else can be exchanged for causing a murderous disaster? Could it be that Sima Zhao would take pity on him and let the tiger return to the mountain and send him back to Yizhou?
Liu Bang and Xiang Yu's lesson has only passed for a long time! Sima Zhao would never do such a thing no matter how stupid he was.
Liu Chan's behavior at that time was actually the most correct choice in desperation. What can the group of people loyal to Shu who are loyal to Shu in the entourage get in exchange for grieving and crying? Pity?
It is said that Liu Bei is crying, but he is crying for celebrities, his subordinates, and his allies. And crying for the enemy can never be pity, only ridicule and disdain.
Liu Chan's sentence of happiness was certainly ridiculed, but it relaxed Sima Zhao's vigilance and saved his own life. If you don't say that great wisdom is foolish, it is never an exaggeration to say that you are quick to be wise.
Otherwise, how could Liu Chan, who was in his forties at the time and had enjoyed the life of an emperor for so many years, say such stupid things? Haven't he seen those songs and dances? Or is it more comfortable to fall from the first seat to the second seat?
Liu Yan's advice is actually similar to Liu Chan's approach, which is to relax Jiangdong's heart. If you can't resist and overthrow Yuan Shu, the best outcome is to live, maybe there will be descendants who will rise again in the future. Isn't this how many families come out?
"The child remembers." Although Liu Zhang is stupid, he also has an advantage in being stupid, that is, he is obedient. He was convinced of Liu Yan's words, although he didn't understand them very well, but he still remembered them deeply.
Liu Yan stroked Liu Yan's head with relief when he heard this: "Just remember, just remember." Also, you have to keep in mind: Yuan Shu and I have no hatred, and if we are defeated and killed, we are just inferior in skills. After I die, don't hold a grudge against anyone, let alone think about revenge. But for the people of the family, especially the people in Yizhou, we must be on guard against one or two, and we must not trust them. If you have any questions, go to Zhang Ren and Wu Yi..."
Between the words of the two, the turmoil in Chengdu was nearing the end, and the battle on the city walls had just begun.
