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

Chapter 176 Comeback
Prince's Palace, side hall.

Liu Ju played the black pieces, Sima Qian played the white pieces. Doctor Sima looked at the chessboard and said softly, "Your Majesty has recently promoted an alchemist. Does Your Highness know about this?"

"know."

As soon as the alchemist appeared in the palace, Dongfang Shuo, the "imperial official reporting rumors" of the Crown Prince's Palace, came to inform Liu Ju.

But what he didn't know was...

"From what Your Highness has said, it seems that you don't care about Shao Weng's senior brother?" Sima Qian said with emotion.

Ok?
Wait, Liu Ju raised his eyes, "Shao Weng's senior brother?"

When Dongfang Shuo came to report the matter to Liu Ju, he used a chatty and teasing tone. Liu Ju did not take it seriously.

But what Dongfang Shuo did not tell Liu Ju, and what he himself did not know was that the alchemist recently promoted by the emperor was from the same school as the young man who was appointed General Wencheng!
Liu Ju frowned slightly and asked suspiciously, "Since he is a fellow disciple, and Shao Weng is dead, he still dares to come to Chang'an. Aren't you afraid?"

then.

Liu Ju blocked Shao Weng in the Weiyang Palace, stripped him naked and beat him, then exposed the necromancy trick in front of the emperor.

Soon after, Shao Weng was beaten to death with sticks in the emperor's rage.

The above is the truth of the matter.

But since it involves the emperor's reputation, others don't know this. All they know is -

Shao Weng died in the Weiyang Palace. The exact reason and how he died is unclear. It is probably related to offending the emperor and was also closely related to the crown prince.

With this information, the young man's senior brother still dared to come to Chang'an. He was really brave!
Aren’t you afraid of the emperor’s anger?
"Your Majesty, tell the alchemist that Shao Weng died from eating horse liver, and he believed it." Sima Qian put down a piece, his tone tinged with laughter.

Liu Ju understood immediately and raised his eyebrows, "He believes it for fame and fortune, right?"

Sima Qian smiled and said, "In my opinion, that person is a person who changes his mind according to the situation and probably has no intention of avenging his fellow apprentice."

No one knew how Shao Weng was beaten to death outside Chengming Palace, but everyone knew that Shao Weng was stopped by the Crown Prince and beaten up in Weiyang Palace.

On that rainy night, many palace maids saw the prince running wildly, and the news could not be blocked at all.

Furthermore.

Liu Ju didn't care and didn't try to hide it.

Sima Qian undoubtedly knew about this matter, and he was now reminding the prince that Shao Weng's senior brother would most likely not come to cause trouble in the prince's palace.

"hehe."

Liu Ju chuckled, "That's better."

As long as they don't provoke him, he won't deliberately make the alchemist unhappy. There were countless officials in the Han Dynasty, and there were at least eighty who were alchemists.

In the past, there was "Wang Chao", who was promoted to Right Secretary of the Interior because of his knowledge of alchemy and later served as Chief Secretary of the Prime Minister; during the Jianyuan period, Li Shaojun became a guest of honor of the emperor, and so on.

There are countless vivid examples.

Liu Ju was not interested in making enemies everywhere.

As for the last time I got the young master, firstly, I was really curious about the art of summoning spirits. It sounded so awesome, so I wanted to find out more about it.

Secondly.

He also wanted to see what the famous Yin-Yang School was all about, but when he took a look, he found that it was nothing special. Liu Ju was greatly disappointed and lost the desire to explore anymore.

Nowadays, as long as those mysterious guys don’t provoke us, we will just keep to ourselves.

"Heh, this group of people who are related to the Yin-Yang family can't get any good things from me, but they are always running back to my father."

When Sima Qian heard this, he replied, "Of course."

"The debate at Bowang Garden has already shown their attitude. Why would they come to Your Highness to cause trouble?"

"but……"

He stood up and added, "Shao Weng's senior brother Luan Da was able to enter the Weiyang Palace, but he didn't come here on his own, but was recommended by others."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ju picked up the teacup and took a sip, then motioned Sima Qian to continue.

Perhaps Shao Weng's senior brother would not come to seek revenge on him, but he would still be on guard and Liu Ju would still find out the background he should know...

Luan Da was originally the Shangfang in the palace of the Jiaodong King. Shangfang was an official in charge of dining utensils.

The fact that he was able to go straight from Jiaodong State to the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an was related to a bloody palace drama, which is simple to explain.

The King of Jiaodong who kowtowed to Liu Ju a few days ago was not the legitimate son of his father, King Kang of Jiaodong.

Because Queen Kang had no children.

The successor to the throne is not his own son, but due to etiquette and laws, the current King of Jiaodong has to pretend to be nice to Queen Kang. Over time, conflicts are bound to arise.

Afterwards, Queen Kang asked someone to recommend Luan Da to the emperor in order to win his favor and gain a foothold in the palace with the help of the emperor.

"She is so sure that Shao Weng's senior brother..." Liu Ju paused for a moment, "is the one called Luan Da."

"Queen Kang recommended him. Are you sure he can flatter her?"

Hear this.

Sima Qian's indifferent expression faded, gradually replaced by solemnity and doubt. He recalled for a while and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness doesn't know that Luan Da has some magic skills."

“So weird!”

Liu Ju glanced over and asked, "Tell me about it?"

"When Your Majesty summoned Luan Da, I was in the palace. At first, Your Majesty was displeased when he heard about Luan Da's relationship with Shao Weng."

"But Luan Da swore solemnly that if Your Majesty still wanted to kill him after he demonstrated his magic, he would not hesitate."

That’s all I have to say.

The fear and solemnity on Sima Qian's face became more and more obvious. He looked at the chessboard in front of him and said, "That day, there was also a chessboard in Chengming Hall."

"After a series of indecipherable spells and gestures, Luan Da pushed a piece from outside the board. I saw it clearly, without any contact..."

"The chess pieces on the chessboard move without any wind! Some move forward, some move backward. It's really weird!"

Sima Langzhong's description was a bit scary, and the prince suddenly realized it and thought: "Oh~"

"I'm familiar with this process."

Relying on the names of gods and ghosts, and supplemented by spells that ordinary people cannot understand, it is best to add some horror and suspense elements to shock others.

When the onlookers are shocked, they can do something beyond common sense and call it magic! Miracle!

motherfucker.

As expected, he and Shao Weng are from the same school, their methods are the same.

"Is it just the chess piece that moves without wind?" Liu Ju suddenly raised his chin, his eyes thoughtful.

Sima Qian shook his head and continued, "Alas, at that time, not to mention the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, even His Majesty was awed by it."

"Luan Da took the opportunity to talk about other magical powers, and also said that he had met gods like An Qisheng and Xian Mengao in the immortal mountains overseas."

"His Majesty was very pleased. Not only did he not vent his anger on him, he also appointed him as General Wuli..."

Ah.

Liu Ju doesn't know how to laugh without being impolite. Do all the tough guys have the same hobbies since ancient times? If Ying Zheng were still alive, he would definitely be able to chat with Lao Liu.

Why do people all love to seek immortals and ask about the Tao?
Coincidentally, at the same time, when Liu Ju was talking about Luan Da in the Prince's Palace, people were also talking about him.

Gongsun Mansion.

Zhongsan Dafu, the residence of Gongsun Qing.

"Greetings to Doctor Gongsun."

"Oh, no, no." Gongsun Qing stretched out his hand to stop the other party from saluting, smiled at the fellow with a mustache, and pretended to blame:
"You can just call me Senior Brother. Isn't it alienating to call me by my official title?"

Luan Da understood what he meant and immediately said with a smile: "Then I will respectfully obey your command, Senior Brother?"

"Hahaha!" Gongsun Qing threw his head back and laughed.

"Junior brother, please!"
