When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 774 It must be the corrupt scholar who deceived my father!
"Brother Royal."

Liu Chen, who was invited to the Prince's Eastern Palace, froze his smile when he saw Liu Xuan.
In his impression, Liu Xuan was not only a good brother, but also a man of both civil and military talents. He was a little bit disobedient when he was young, but after the persuasion of wise officials, he had long since changed his bad habits.

No matter how you look at it, he is a good prince who lives in the sun and is the center of public attention. When he succeeds to the throne in the future, he will be a wise king.

But what about now?
Looking at the distraught middle-aged man in front of him, Liu Chen had a million questions in his mind. What on earth was going on? Why did his brother become like this?
"Fifth brother is here. Please sit down and drink with me." Liu Xuan looked up at Liu Chen. His expression improved visibly and he even forced out a kind and friendly smile.

Liu Chen sat opposite Liu Xuan, who ordered people to bring food and wine to the table, and then asked everyone else to leave.

"Fifth brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much. Today there is no crown prince or the King of the North here. There are only you and me. Fifth brother, let's drink." Liu Xuan raised his glass and said, "Raise your glass."

"Speak up." Even though he was full of doubts, Liu Chen decided not to rush. He felt that Liu Xuan had come to him this time to talk about his unhappiness. It was the younger brother's duty to help his brother solve his problems, so he just listened first.
The two of them ate and chatted, ranging from daily trivialities to border wars, from their own children and nephews to generals and princes. They were having a great time.

Gradually, a blush crept up on Liu Xuan's face, and his tone changed from majestic to sorrowful.

Liu Xuan shook his head and spoke his true feelings, "Fifth brother, I envy you very much. I know that father looks at you differently. Ruoruo said that I and other brothers are subjects, but you, fifth brother, are father's biological son."

Liu Xuan’s eyelids twitched. No, brother, do you know what you are talking about?

He quickly said: "Brother, you are drunk!"

But Liu Xuan staggered to his feet, waved his hand, and said stubbornly: "Drunk? I'm not drunk, not drunk!"

As he was talking, Liu Xuan stretched out his hands towards Liu Chen and asked in surprise, "Hey? Fifth brother, how come you have become two? Did you learn some magic?"

Brother Emperor, you are not drunk yet?

Liu Chen quickly stood up and supported Liu Xuan, "Brother, I will help you go and rest."

"Take a break? No, fifth brother, don't think that I'm afraid of you just because you've split into several parts. Come on, keep drinking! Uh..." Liu Xuan burped.

Liu Chen forced a bitter smile, held Liu Xuan's arm, pushed open the door and walked towards Liu Xuan's room. The brothers had a deep relationship since childhood, and he often came to the Prince's Eastern Palace to play. He was very familiar with the Prince's Eastern Palace.

Soon Liu Chen sent Liu Xuan back to the room and helped him onto the bed. At this time, Liu Xuan fell into a coma and snored loudly.

But to Liu Chen's surprise, Liu Xuan suddenly sobbed in his sleep, "Father, why why don't you look at me more? Is it because I can't have a divine presence in my dreams like my fifth brother?"

A divine dream?

Didn’t the god appear in my brother’s dream?
Liu Chen was slightly stunned. He had told Liu Xuan about his dream before. Liu Xuan was not surprised, as if he had dreamed it too.

So the emperor was pretending?

Liu Chen didn't mind. He knew that Liu Xuan was sincere to him and his other brothers, so he just kept it secret.

Liu Chen stepped out of the room very lightly and closed the door gently, fearing to disturb Liu Xuan. Suddenly, Liu Chen felt dizzy and even his vision became blurry. He thought to himself: Oh no, I really overestimated my alcohol tolerance. No, I can't hold on any longer.

In a hurry, Liu Chen grabbed a passing servant and said, "Give me a side room. I am tired."

The servants dared not neglect it. The prince once ordered, "Respect my brothers as much as you respect me."

"Your Majesty, please." The servant led Liu Chen to the nearest side room.

Liu Chen fell asleep almost as soon as he touched the pillow.

He didn't know how long it had been, but in a daze, he heard someone sobbing, "Zhuge Zhan and Zhuge Shang, father and son, died in the battle of Mianzhu, and the entire army was wiped out. Deng Ai has already captured Mianzhu, and Chengdu is in danger!"

Someone said, "Your Majesty, Chengdu has few soldiers and generals, and it is difficult to fight the enemy. It is better to abandon Chengdu and flee to the seven counties in the south. The terrain is rugged and can be defended by ourselves. We can borrow the barbarian soldiers and then recover it."

At this moment, a familiar voice broke into Liu Chen's ears, "No. The southern barbarians have been rebelling for a long time and have never been kind to us. If we surrender to them now, we will surely suffer a great disaster."

Liu Chen frowned. It was so strange. Why did this voice sound so familiar?

Perhaps the voice was too familiar, Liu Chen found that he could actually control his body. He did not dare to waste a minute and immediately opened his eyes.

Liu Chen found himself behind a screen. He thought: This is good, I can observe from the dark.

He looked out the screen calmly. In front of him was the Weiyang Palace. The emperor sitting on the throne was his father, but this father looked very young, as young as the father in his dream.
Dream?
Am I dreaming, or have I come to a dream world?

Liu Chen pinched his hip, and severe pain surged to his nerves, making him look painful.

Oh no, have I come to the world of dreams?
Is the situation so bad now? Even Siyuan died in the battle.
Liu Chen was sad and in pain. He bit the tip of his tongue and let the stinging sensation spread in his mouth, so as to make his mind clear. He analyzed the current situation. Deng Ai's army was approaching, but he was not without the ability to fight. As long as he persuaded his father and the ministers, the emperor and his ministers, the soldiers and the people in the city would resist the foreign enemies together, and they would be able to delay the arrival of reinforcements from Jiang Wei, Huo Yi, and Luo Xian.

However, the development of the matter was beyond Liu Chen's expectations. After discussing, the ministers actually came to the conclusion of surrendering to Wei or Wu. The man whose voice was very familiar to him just now stepped forward and advised: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, it is better to surrender to Wei!"

Liu Chen's fists suddenly hardened. He remembered who this guy was. It was Qiao Zhou!
Liu Chen looked at Qiao Zhou with a cold gaze, and a scornful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Even though the emperor here is not the emperor I know, he is also the heir of the previous emperor, and he is also the king who has been educated by Wu Hou for decades. In any case, he is a wise king with blood!

How could I be deceived by a cowardly scholar like you?

Just when Liu Chen thought that Liu Chan would scold Qiao Zhou, the facts gave Liu Chen a slap in the face. Not only did Liu Chan not scold Qiao Zhou, but he also had the intention of surrendering to Wei.

This... This is impossible! My father is the son of the late emperor, how could he surrender?!
Liu Chen's eyes were red with anger and his hands were clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound. He was certain that Qiao Zhou had deceived his father!
He rushed out from behind the screen and shouted angrily: "How dare you, a cowardly scholar who is greedy for life and afraid of death, discuss the affairs of state! Has there ever been an emperor who surrendered since ancient times?!"
