When the turmoil in Chengdu dies down, Liu Shan is moved to Luoyang. Only a few go with him, among them the director of the secretariat Fan Jian, the palace attendant Zhang Shao, the grand master of splendour Qiao Zhou and the archivist Xi Zheng. Liao Hua and Dong Jue plead illness and do not go.
Huo Yi, governor of Jianning in the south, hears that Chengdu has fallen, puts on white and weeps facing west for three days. When his officers ask why he does not surrender quickly, Huo Yi answers. The roads are cut and I do not know what has become of my lord. If the ruler of Wei treats him with courtesy, it will not be too late to surrender the city. But if he disgraces my lord, then when the lord is disgraced the subject dies, so how could I surrender?
In Luoyang, Sima Zhao rebukes Liu Shan. You loved only pleasure, cast out worthy men and lost your state, so you deserve death. Liu Shan’s face turns the colour of earth. The officials urge that he be pardoned, since he surrendered early. Sima Zhao makes him Duke of Anle and gives him a house, an allowance, ten thousand bolts of silk and a hundred servants.
