Chapter 807: The Heir to the Martial Emperor 6
Liu Shu traveled almost all over the Tang Dynasty. Three years later, Liu Shu returned to Luoyang.

His return, like his departure, caused no commotion.

In Luoyang City, the struggle between the Wu and Li families became increasingly fierce.

Many ministers were carefully involved in it and ended up in a miserable way.

The Queen did not stop their fight, but watched from the sidelines, then gave each side a big beating and crippled their men.

People on both sides did not realize that the number of people loyal to them was decreasing.

The ministers in the court now are all neutral and loyal to the Queen.

Those who had other ideas and wanted to speculate were cleaned out by the Queen.

Liu Shu returned to the palace.

It's the end of the year and Liu Shu is going back home to celebrate the New Year.

In the past, I could hang out outside and not go home.

But now I am in Luoyang, it would be unreasonable not to go back to the palace.

Fortunately, when he returned to the palace, he was just a nobody and nothing bothered him.

Instead, his good father and good elder brother are even busier.

His good father is no longer the timid and cowardly man he used to be. In front of everyone except the queen, this father is superior.

Even to his own son, he spoke in an imperative tone.

However, Li Xian's attitude towards Li Chongrun was different from his attitude towards other children.

After all, he was the child of Li Xian's favorite woman and his eldest son.

In the entire palace, the only one who cared a little bit about Liu Shu was Lu.

Liu Shu was quite respectful to his biological mother, and Lu expressed her intention to marry her niece to Liu Shu.

Liu Shu thought about it and accepted it.

It was impossible for him not to get married, and he did not expect Li Xian to find a wife for him.

Mrs. Lu's character is pretty good, which shows that she has been well educated. He should be able to rest assured about the other daughters of the Lu family.

When the empress heard that Lu was matchmaking for Liu Shu, she ordered an investigation into Lu's daughter.

I found that the daughter of the Lu family had good character and was worthy of being the mistress of a wealthy family, but she was still a little short of being the queen.

Queen: "Send two people to Lu's daughter and teach her."

Shangguan Wan'er agreed.

The engagement between Liu Shu and the daughter of the Lu family went smoothly. With Lu acting as the matchmaker, neither family had any objection.

The restrictions on women in the Tang Dynasty were not as strict as those in the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Liu Shu saw his fiancée.

She is very good-looking, with delicate features, dignified temperament, and a very virtuous lady from a noble family.

After marriage, she will also be a good wife.

Liu Heng was very satisfied.

He is not stupid enough to look for true love in ancient times. It would be enough for him to have a wife who is pleasing to the eye and with whom he can get along harmoniously.

The people sent by the Queen successfully reached Lu's daughter and began to teach her, influencing her intentionally or unintentionally.

The Lu girl was very smart and noticed something.

But she did not expose it. Instead, she followed the two people and learned more attentively.

A year later, Liu Shu married the daughter of the Lu family.

This year is the first year of Shenlong in history.

Li Xian was instigated and was ready to take action.

However, this time, without the help of heavyweights such as Zhang Jianzhi, their actions were not much better than children playing house.

Emperor Wu pinned them all down with one hand.

The Wu faction was so happy and fanned the flames.

But it was pressed down by Emperor Wu's other hand.

Empress Wu sighed. Although she had taken good care of herself since her rebirth, she was indeed old and her body was beginning to fail. She no longer had the energy to manage such a large court. Perhaps, she really should give up the throne.

Emperor Wu issued an edict, ordering Li Xian, Li Dan and the descendants of the Wu family to bring their sons to court.

Princess Taiping was also called to the court by Emperor Wu.

Seeing so many royal relatives, everyone instinctively felt that something big was going to happen.

Could it be that he was going to establish a crown prince?

Everyone's eyes lit up and they immediately glared at the others.

They didn't get the news, so the Queen naturally didn't make them the Crown Prince.

Who is that?

The Queen came out and accepted everyone's greetings. Then she said to Shangguan Wan'er, "Let's begin."

Shangguan Wan'er stepped forward, opened the imperial edict and began to read: "In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims..."

It was indeed the emperor’s decree to appoint a crown prince, but why did this crown prince’s name sound so unfamiliar?

Who is Li Liushu?
Does the Queen have such a son?

Li Xian's family reacted the fastest and remembered who Liu Shu was.

Li Xian, Li Chongrun and Li Chongjun all turned around and looked at Liu Shu in shock.

Liu Shu was also shocked now.

This was only the second time I met Emperor Wu, so how come he was named the Crown Prince?
Oh, not the prince, but the grandson.

The others followed Li Xian's gaze and saw Liu Shu.

Oh, it turns out he is Li Xian’s son!
It’s the bloodline of the Li family!
The ministers loyal to Li Tang and the Li family clan were relieved.

As long as they are members of the Li family, it's fine.

They don’t care whether the emperor is Li Xian, Li Dan or Li Liuchu!
The ministers loyal to Emperor Wu had no objections.

Are the neutral ministers worried that such a young man can serve as the emperor of a country?
However, when they saw Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi's face full of satisfaction and expectation, these people felt relieved.

It seems that the Prime Minister knows His Excellency the Crown Prince.

In the entire court, except for Li Xian, Li Chongrun, Li Longji and a group of Wu clan members, everyone else gladly accepted the imperial edict.

Li Chongrun wished he could tear Liu Shu apart with his bare hands.

Now that Liu Shu has ascended the throne, he has no chance at all.

Li Longji lowered his head, many thoughts flashed through his mind, and an idea took shape.

However, he didn't know that all his actions were under the sight of Emperor Wu, and his plans would never succeed in this life.

Li Xian was angry for a while, then he comforted himself.

Although he is not the emperor, his son is the emperor, so doesn't he mean the emperor emeritus?

That’s not bad!

Emperor Wu asked everyone to leave, leaving only Liu Shu.

Liu Shu asked the Queen, "Why did Grandmother choose me to be the Crown Prince? My cousin Longji is better than me and is very popular. Why didn't Grandmother choose him?"

"He can't do that." Emperor Wu said, "He is stubborn and self-willed. He will be a good emperor in the early stage, but he will definitely become a tyrant when he gets old."

Liu Heng: "..."

Liu Shu didn't know that Emperor Wu was reborn, and in his heart he admired Emperor Wu's vision.

Such vision! She is worthy of being the queen!
Queen: "I have seen your performance over the years. With your ability, I am relieved to serve as the emperor of a country."

"As expected." Liu Shu said, "Many of the people I met during my travels are all your Majesty's people, right? Is the Chunya at the beginning really the village girl Chunya?"

Shangguan Wan'er smiled and answered: "Chun Ya is indeed from that family, and was indeed captured by bandits. He will not be rescued soon, and joined an organization managed by me."

Liu Shu: "What about the magistrate of Anzhi County?"

Shangguan Wan'er: "He is not one of ours. But he is a capable and practical man. Thanks to Your Highness, His Majesty noticed him. He is now the prefect."

Liu Shu asked a few more people he had doubts about, and sure enough, they were all sent by the Queen.
