Chapter 619 King of Hanzhong!
Liu Chan walked alone on the way to Chang'an, but he didn't feel lonely because he knew that there was still someone in this world who was silently paying attention to him.
"Until the end, he did not propose my destination. Could it be that he really let me inherit my father's bloodline? With his pride as the first prince of the contemporary era, it is really admirable that he can do this."
Liu Chan thought silently all the way until he came to Chang'an and saw that the prosperity was incompatible with him. His heart was filled with lament again: "Compared with this prosperous Chang'an, I am just an irrelevant spectator. I don't even know where to rest tonight?"
At this moment, a middle-aged scholar came up and whispered: "Sir, is it Shu Duke?"
"That's right, I'm not satisfied..." Liu Chan asked strangely when he saw the person coming.
The visitor said, "The lower official is Zhong Yao, the captain of the Sili District, who is the order of the lord to welcome Duke Shu. The lower official waited again for three days. Now he finally saw Duke Shu himself. Duke Shu was exhausted and suffered a lot of trouble. He quickly followed the lower official into the city. The lord has arranged a residence for Duke Shu in the city, where all the servants and maids are available. Duke Shu can move in directly. If he is not satisfied with his subordinates, he can tell the lower official at any time and immediately change it to Duke Shu."
"It turns out that it was Mr. Zhong. Mr. Lao Zhong personally welcomed him. How could Chan be defeated?" When Liu Chan heard this, it turned out that the person who came was Zhong Yao, one of the most important confidant ministers under Liu He, and quickly saluted respectfully. At this time, he saw Zhong Yao reaching out to take over the reins of the horse in his hand, and quickly said, "Sir, don't do this. Chan didn't feel any fatigue during the journey. Just take the horse over by himself."
This is not Liu Chan pretended to be modest. In fact, although he was exhausted throughout the journey, he did not feel tired. This is naturally because Liu He raised his martial arts attributes to the peak. He felt his physical strength all the way, and Liu Chan could understand Liu He's different emotions towards him.
Zhong Yao did not believe this and insisted on taking the horse. Why did Liu Chan have the nerve to hand over the reins? So he hurriedly refused and refused to hand over. Finally, in desperation, Zhong Yao had to order his personal soldiers to take the horse and ask him to send it to the mansion next to the Qin Palace.
Liu Chan hurriedly thanked him, but Zhong Yao said that this was all arranged by his lord Liu He, and he was just executing orders.
What Zhong Yao said was the truth, and he even didn't understand why the lord Liu He gave such high treatment to an ordinary prince. However, as Liu He's confidant minister, Zhong Yao knew not to ask, so despite his doubts, he still tried his best to implement it.
Liu Chan came to his residence under Zhong Yao's guidance, and now it was decorated in a magnificent manner. All the maids and servants were respectful and capable. All the conditions were better than when he was a prince in Chengdu. He was shocked. He really didn't expect that Liu He was still quite caring for him.
What shocked him even more was still behind. The next morning, Liu Chan suddenly heard from his servants that it was an angel who had arrived and asked him to go out to greet him.
Liu Chan was surprised and hurried out to greet him. However, the angel took out an edict. The edict read: "Therefore, the governor of Yizhou and the son of Shu Gongbei, Chan, was filial and wise. He used to expand territory for our Han Dynasty. Now he is under the threat of the Barbarian King, and he has been loyal and unchanged. He has promoted the power of our Han Dynasty and has worked hard and made great contributions. Therefore, he is named King of Hanzhong..."
"This, this, the King of Hanzhong? How could he give me such a high reward? And he also directly said that in the name of his father (Liu Bei)'s son, he actually agreed with me and asked me to inherit my father's descendants. Such a mind is really admirable. I have to say that even I was moved by his approach."
Liu Chan sighed in his heart that he did not expect that Liu He would give him such preferential treatment. This was not only an affirmation of himself, but also an adoptive father Liu Bei, and this was what moved Liu Chan the most.
Liu Chan didn't know that the reason why Liu He did this was, on the one hand, to fulfill his promise to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang and others in order to win people's hearts, on the other hand, to make up for the lack of fatherly love for so many years, and at the same time, he also felt a little guilty about Liu Bei and his wife. No matter what, whether it was intentional or not, he did it a little sorry for them, especially the Gan family and Mi family. His unintentional behavior caused harm to the two poor women. I believe that they will be affected by that incident in their lives.
Liu Chan, the Duke of Shu who was destroyed and forced to surrender, was actually named the king, which caused an uproar in the entire Han Dynasty. Even if he was just a prince, there was still a certain gap compared with Liu He's prince. However, this treatment had already made many princes' eyes red. You should know that since the entire Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu and the children of the Liu family killed Baima and swore that "not Liu's kings, but the kings, the world will attack them together", the most officials who were not surnamed Liu were named marquis (except for the special period of Empress Lu and Wang Mang). Even a person with great achievements like Xiao He was only named Liu Hou. Later, when Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the twenty-eight generals under Yuntai made great contributions and were only named marquis. It was not until recent years that Cao, who controlled the court, had forced the emperor to sign him as Duke Chu and Sun Quan as Duke Wu, but this did not break the taboo of "not being allowed to be named kings".
However, Liu Chan is now a prince who surrendered to Liu He, which is shocking.
Although Liu Chan's father Liu Bei was considered a relative of the Han Dynasty, he was different from a decent Han Dynasty clan like Liu He. He was a relative of the Han Dynasty for too long and could be treated as a different surname. In this case, he was a marquis. Now that he was actually named a king, it naturally shocked the world.
However, despite this, because Liu Chan's surname is Liu, and he is also the bloodline of Emperor Gaozu, and in terms of system, it did not violate the ancestral teachings of Emperor Gaozu at all, so no one used this to accuse Liu He. However, they were secretly guessing in their hearts whether Liu He and Liu Chan made an agreement secretly, perhaps this was the condition that Liu Chan surrendered to him?
However, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang and others were as clear as a mirror in their hearts, until Liu He fulfilled his original promise to them, and therefore they all swear all loyal to Liu He.
