After broadcasting the ancient times live, I handed the system over to the state.

The later story of Shu Han inevitably evokes sighs of regret.

The situation remains polarized. In Zhu Qinggu's unbiased account, some people still think he is incompetent, while others think he is honest and kind.

Perhaps it was because Emperors Huizong and Qinzong, Wanyan Jiumei, and Emperor Mingbao were there to support him that Liu Shan wasn't too bad.

Thinking about it this way, it would be quite a subtle and interesting pairing of Liu Shan and Yue Fei.

“If Liu Shan had lived in a peaceful time, he might have been alright.” Liu Heng shook his head as well, “It was all a matter of timing and fate.”

"No matter what, they held out for more than twenty years after Zhuge Liang's death. I estimate that by then, countless people in Shu Han harbored rebellious intentions!" Liu Qi's voice turned cold and stern as he spoke.

Liu Che immediately hid far away.

The father and son looked at each other, and Liu Qi glanced at the chessboard again before decisively pushing it far away. "Ahem, I won't throw the chessboard at anyone."

The elder Liu Che had no idea that the younger Liu Che was playing chess with his father, Liu Qi. He just kept shaking his head, marveling at how honest Liu Shan was. As for whether Liu Shan's behavior after Shu surrendered was genuine or feigned folly, that remains to be seen.

Liu Che felt that Liu Shan was actually clear-headed, but that was his usual nature, and he even took the opportunity to fully express his nature.

However, it cannot be said that Liu Shan was entirely without fault in Shu Han's fall into this state; it can only be said that he was born at the wrong time.

Later, when Liu Shan saw Zhuge Liang's image on the sky, he couldn't help but burst into tears, crying out, "Father! Father!"

She's already in her fifties or sixties, and she's still wailing and crying here.

(Zhuge Liang of the Han Dynasty: Your Majesty, do not weep, Jiang Wei is trustworthy.)

(Zhang Fei of the Han Dynasty: Nephew, quickly chop Huang Hao down and show him to your third uncle!)

(Han Dynasty, Guan Yu: A coward from Jiangdong, he does nothing but despicable things, only to be ridiculed!)

Huang Hao was also startled and quickly ran away, but Liu Shan had already sent people everywhere to look for him. How long could he hide?

If it were a matter of replacing someone, Liu Shan had plenty of other options; even if Huang Hao was gone, there was still Li Hao.

(Liu Shan of the Han Dynasty: Execute me immediately! When will you return, my lord? These people in the court all have their own agendas, and none of them listen to me...)

Just looking at these words made Zhuge Liang feel sorry for the child.

But he couldn't say much anymore.

(Liu Che of the Han Dynasty: He seized military power and then killed anyone who disobeyed him.)

(Liu Bang of Han: They must have correspondence with Wei. What? No? How is that possible? Find some!)

(Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty: First cultivate your own strength, then win over one faction and attack another; the reverse can also be done.)

(Liu Xun of the Han Dynasty: Give them honors and favors, then gradually replace important positions with your own people, observe the internal conflicts among their various factions, and sow discord.)

……

The various emperors of the Han Dynasty took turns offering advice to Liu Shan.

Liu Zhuang wiped his sweat. Some of the suggestions were really too unreliable. If you just did them, you might just push people to rebel, and they would rebel even if they didn't want to.

(Liu Xiu of the Han Dynasty: Why don't you just abandon this idea and start a rebellion?)

Liu Zhuang, seeing his father's even more absurd remarks, broke out in a cold sweat. "Father, Liu Shan will take this seriously. Besides, how can we just throw away the Han dynasty's hard-won foundation?"

Liu Zhuang thought for a moment.

(Liu Zhuang of the Han Dynasty: It would be good if you lived a long life and had more children of the Liu family bloodline. One day, the dynasty will be restored.)

He's just like Liu Bilie, right?

After Liu Zhuang, other people also offered advice to Liu Shan.

Some of them are really mean!

Meanwhile, the court officials of Shu Han cried out: "Don't come! Don't come! We know we were wrong, isn't that enough?"

They never expected the emperor to file a complaint!

If the emperor were to file a complaint in the heavens if he were dissatisfied, what would become of them?

At this time, few scholars did not value their reputation. If his reputation was ruined, it would affect him in other timelines, and perhaps even his family in other timelines.

So was Liu Shan really stupid or was he just pretending to be stupid?

Liu Shan scratched his head. As long as he saw his father's words on the sky, that was fine. As for his father... that was the late emperor.

Liu Bei: You unfilial son!

Zhu Qinggu watched with amusement as everyone came up with their insidious schemes. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that Liu Shan's act of complaining was quite ingenious. He was truly a clever man!

But that one thought kept popping into my head—'We were ready to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?'

Thinking of the grief-stricken Jiang Wei and Liu Chen, the fifth son of Liu Shan who died a heroic death, Zhu Qinggu sighed slightly and added, "After Deng Ai captured Mianzhu, Liu Shan followed the advice of Grand Master of Ceremonies Qiao Zhou and planned to surrender to Deng Ai."

"Liu Shan's fifth son strongly opposed the idea and urged his father to fight with all his might and fight to the death. After failing to dissuade him, Liu Chen went to the Zhaolie Temple, where Liu Bei was worshipped, and wept bitterly, expressing his loyalty to Shu Han and his determination never to surrender with his death."

Zhu Qinggu's words made some people who were already wavering more inclined to believe that Liu Shan was incompetent.

Even worse was Zhu Houzhao—

(Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao: Liu Shan, why don't you abdicate? Go eat, drink, and have fun, while Liu Chen reviews memorials. Doesn't that sound wonderful?)

Zhuge Liang & Liu Bei: "..."

That's a really bad idea.

Liu Shan listened attentively and wrote down everything that was above the sky, intending to look at it often in the future.

So the following situation will occur: Liu Shan takes the book to Qiao Zhou and asks him, "Qiao Qing, look at the strategies recorded in this book, which one is suitable to be used against you?"

"..." Qiao Zhou wiped his sweat.

He flipped through the booklet in front of Yang Yi and asked, "Yang Qing, I can speak with the Prime Minister now. Which strategy in this booklet do you think is suitable for me to use to get you to work for me?"

Yang Yi: "..." I'm scared.

He still doesn't understand whether Liu Shan was wise in disguise or truly foolish.

Liu Shan felt he had become bad, but seeing how they were choked up, he found it very amusing. He decided he should consult his ancestors more often and also talk to his prime minister.

……

After adding this sentence, Zhu Qinggu checked the time again. She could answer one more question, so she let the system draw the answer.

(Han Dynasty Zhang Tang: I saw the comments on the screen mentioning the separation of powers in the West in later generations. I'd like to know what it specifically is?)

When Zhu Qinggu saw Zhang Tang, his first thought was still about the law, and he didn't expect Zhang Tang to ask about the separation of powers.

She used to think the separation of powers was a good thing, but as she grew older and learned more, she realized that every system has its own advantages and disadvantages.
