Life of the characters

In June of the second year of Jingyao (259), Liu Chan made Liu Chen the king of Beidi.

In the winter of the sixth year of Jingyao (263), Wei took Deng AI's army to jinzhuguan. Liu Chan accepted Qiao Zhou's suggestion and prepared to surrender before Wei's army attacked. Liu Chen said angrily, "when the country is at a dead end, there will naturally be a disaster of national subjugation. At this time, it should be the father and son, the king and his ministers who make the last effort together to die for the country of Shuhan, so that we can also see the former Emperor!" Liu Chan didn't listen and still surrendered to Deng AI.

Liu Chen felt very painful and indignant for the demise of his country, so he came to the zhaolie temple where Liu Bei was sacrificed to cry bitterly, then killed his wife and son first, and then committed suicide.

Character evaluation

Chen Pu: what is qiaozhou's mouth like a spring. One after another, the local ancestral halls of Shu and Zhuge were built, and the incense was once divided into the northern kings.

Chen Shichong: Zhan and sun Shang, sons of Kong Ming, sun Zun, sons of Zhang Fei, and Guang, second son of Zhao Yun, also died in the war. Wang Chen of Peiping wept at zhaolie temple, killing his wife first was suicide. Wei Yishu palace gave the soldiers, and Li Zhaoyi didn't humiliate himself. Zen is not particularly ashamed of soldiers, but also ashamed of women.

Hu Sansheng: is there a son in Zen.

Hao Jing: Hoo Hoo! The justice of the prince and his ministers is difficult for the state, but the justice of death is still necessary. The former ministers and the former kings are the feudal descendants, so they maintain the city.

Luo Guanzhong: the monarch and his ministers are willing to bend their knees, and one son is sad alone. When you go to Xichuan, you are the king of the north. Donate body to reward liezu, scratch head and cry in the sky. If the awe inspiring people are here, who has died.

Sun Qifeng: after the death of Shu, the Yi clan of Guan family was annihilated by Pang thief. Wang Chen, Prince Wu's son Zhan sun Shang, Zhang Fei's son Zun, Zhao Yun's son Guang, Fu Tong's son Qian and Li Hui's nephew Qiu are all worthy of their forerunners.

Zhong Jingbo: the king of Beidi was ashamed of his father's coming. He cried and prayed to the temple. He killed his wife and said, "I'm ashamed to see the foundation abandoned to others." Liu Chen is worthy of his father and Liu Chan is worthy of his son.

Mao Zonggang: only to the death of the later Han Dynasty, but Liu Chan, though cowardly, was lucky to have the death of the king of Beidi, which was the life of the Han Dynasty.
