My father is Emperor Wu of Han, how can I be different from him?

Chapter 162 Just do it and it’s over
Shangguan Jie, who was lying on the side... That's right, Shangguan Jie, he changed his position, from the Weiyang Stables Commander with a salary of 600 stones to a casual position: Shizhong.

Although the official position seems to have been lowered, the status has actually been raised.

This Shangguan Shizhong was indeed a capable person. He was not afraid of the emperor and could get closer and closer to him, becoming his close minister.

At this moment, in front of a little prince, he can still make him laugh.

"Your Highness is mighty."

Hearing the flattery, Liu Dan wiped his nose in a serious manner. Just as he was about to say something smug, he suddenly remembered something, raised his belt, and pouted:
"Why can't my mother leave the palace? I also want her to accompany me out of the palace to play."

Shangguan Jie's eyelids twitched when he heard that. He didn't respond, but made a wrestling move and asked provocatively, "Again?"

"Come!"

Children's worries come and go quickly. Liu Dan lifted up the hem of his skirt and rushed towards the burly man again, starting a new round of baring his teeth...

The royal family members were each having their own fun, and the servants beside them were each looking after their own masters. No one noticed the previous scene, except for the two people next to the third prince.

The two men were very quiet, playing Liubo chess quietly. One was the thin and emaciated second son of the Emperor, Liu Hong, and the other was the Shangshu Pushe who was accompanying him.

Huo Guang glanced at the two people fighting on the side.

Smiled...

……

Champion House.

It was already dark when Huo Guang returned. As usual, no matter how late it was, there was a table of dishes waiting for him at the mansion.

The steward took Huo Guang's outer cloak and brushed off the snow on his body. Then he stepped into the main hall and said, "Brother, sister-in-law."

Huo Yang smiled warmly and said, "Zi Meng, please take a seat. You must be exhausted from being on duty in the palace today. I asked the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Huo Guang bowed and sat down at the bottom.

At this time, Huo Qubing, who was sitting in the main seat, said, "Let's eat."

Few people spoke during the meal. Guan Junhou, who always appeared to be domineering outside, was strict at home, the kind of strict father that could be.

Huo Zhongru was far away in Hedong County. Since Huo Qubing had brought his brother to live with him, he should take on the responsibility of raising him. This was in line with the saying:

The eldest brother is like a father.

It's just that Huo Qubing had no experience of being a father, nor did he have any father to learn from. The way he treated Huo Guang was mostly learned from his uncle Wei Qing when he was a child.

Strict, calm, and leading by example.

exactly.

Huo Guang was not a man who liked to move around a lot. He adhered to the principle of not talking while eating and finished his meal calmly. He did not feel awkward but instead felt relaxed and natural.

After the meal, Huo Yang ordered the servants to take away the cups and plates and serve tea. Then she went to the back house, leaving the room to the two brothers.

Normally, if there was nothing to do, Huo Guang would be the first to leave the table, but today he sat there without moving, which meant he had something to discuss.

Huo Yangshi understood this custom, and so did Huo Qubing.

Seeing his brother looking at him, Huo Guang seemed to sigh with emotion and said softly: "Today, His Majesty is hosting a banquet for all the kings in the palace. Also at the table are the second and third princes."

"Before they knew it, they were already able to perform the ritual of prostration."

Huo Guang paused, and then continued, "When the princes were having a banquet, I played a few games of chess with the emperor's second son. His chess skills were sometimes immature, and sometimes sharp."

"Although I have never met the Third Prince, judging from his words and deeds, he already has some of the demeanor of the former King Wu of Qin."

Regarding the second son of the emperor, Liu Hong.

Huo Qubing just heard about it and didn't pay much attention to it, but the third son of the emperor, Liu Dan, born to Li Ji...

By now, almost everyone who should know about Li Ji's imprisonment has already known the news, including the Queen's nephew Huo Qubing, who often went in and out of the Weiyang Palace.

Similar to the treatment of Chen Ajiao, all the offerings in Changning Palace continued as usual, except that nobles were no longer allowed to enter or leave the palace.

The only one who could move around freely there was the emperor's third son, Liu Dan.

Huo Qubing didn't care about the little prince before, but now he heard something different from his brother's words.

The style of King Wu of Qin?
"Brother, the second and third princes are gradually becoming sensible." Huo Guang turned the teacup in his hand and said meaningfully.

Huo Qubing raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "You mean, they should be crowned kings?" "Yes." Huo Guang said bluntly.

According to the Han Dynasty system, after a prince is crowned king, he must leave Chang'an City and return to his country!

Speaking of which.

I have to mention a side note. According to the original historical trajectory, Liu Hong and Liu Dan were crowned kings in the sixth year of Yuanshou, but due to the butterfly effect, all this has been messed up.

Some things have sped up, some have slowed down, and some have simply disappeared.

For example, the fourth prince Liu Xu, who should have been discussed together with the second and third princes as to whether or not to be made a king, has disappeared.

For example, Zhang Tang, who was supposed to commit suicide this year, had already retired peacefully for many years.

It is obvious who flapped the wings, but if you ask Liu Ju, how did he flap his wings and make his two brothers stay in Chang'an for a few more years...

He didn't know either.

The changes in the world are so wonderful...

Let's get back to the point. In the main hall of the Marquis of Guanjun's mansion, Huo Guang admitted his thoughts, looked at his brother, and said sternly:
"When the King of Liang was fighting for the throne, he asked the Empress Dowager to ask for his permission to stay in the capital for a long time. Chang'an is the center of the Han Dynasty."

"All transitions, handovers, and changes in power occurred in Chang'an. Staying here means staying at the center of power, away from here..."

He paused for a moment, then changed the subject, "That would be good for the second and third princes, and also for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The above words.

Logically, it shouldn't have come from Huo Guang's mouth, at least he shouldn't have said it first. It would have been more reasonable for Huo Qubing, Wei Qing, or even Wei Zifu to take the initiative to bring it up.

however.

Although Huo Guang had no direct blood relationship with Liu Ju, Huo Guang could see the overall situation clearly and knew when to speak and when not to speak.

Besides, he and Liu Ju had fought together before. Huo Guang always remembered the battles of Fenglangjuxu and the prince borrowing a sword...

Sitting in the main seat, Huo Qubing glanced.

He didn't say anything, but his meaning was clearly conveyed, and Huo Guang, his younger brother, could understand it.

Boss Huo is saying, "If you have to fart, just fart it all at once!"

cough.

Why does Huo Qubing mean this?

It's very simple. He doesn't need to listen to Huo Lao Er's analysis of Prince Liang, changes, the center of power and the like. As long as it is beneficial to the prince, he will just do it!
Why say so much?

Huo Guang knew his brother's character, and Huo Qubing also knew that Huo Guang knew his own character, so why did he keep talking so much?
Obviously, there is something left to be said.

So Huo Qubing gave the other person a look and told him to just fart if he had to!
Huo Guang covered his mouth and coughed twice, "My brother is not always by your side, so you may not know that it is because of the deceased Madam Wang and the weak and sickly health of the emperor's second son."

"Your Majesty loves him very much."

"And the third prince. Although his mother is imprisoned, it is precisely because of this imprisonment that the mother and son are rarely together. Your Majesty feels that he owes the third prince and wants to compensate him."

"so……"

Huo Qubing frowned slightly, "Do you think His Majesty will keep the two princes in Chang'an for a long time out of love for his children?"

No.

Huo Guang didn't think so.

Having been with the Emperor for many years, Huo Guang might have made mistakes in other matters, but he would not make mistakes in the Emperor's character.

The current emperor is even more ruthless than Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing in terms of personal relationships! He will never let his children's personal relationships affect the stability of the country.

As long as someone proposes to confer the title of king on the two princes, Your Majesty will not refuse.

The reason why Huo Guang said so much was out of caution. Even if His Majesty agreed, he did not want to bear the possible backlash from his possible love for his child!
But, even though I thought this in my heart, I couldn’t say it out loud.

Huo Guang sorted out his thoughts and nodded, saying, "Yes, it is not good to divide the royal family. I think you can try it out in the inner court."

"If your majesty has no intention, then forget it."

ho.

Huo Qubing raised his eyebrows and said nothing...
