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

Chapter 183: Being a Damn Hero

When Liu Ju's face tensed slightly, the emperor did not let the prince answer. He waved his sleeves lightly, and the emperor in his casual clothes took another step, speaking in a low voice:
"I am just doing this for Mr. Luan. It's a small matter. Since the prince is begging for mercy, I will allow you to do so. But I will tell you two things. Remember them in the future."

Liu Ju hurriedly bowed and listened attentively.

"First."

The emperor had no expression on his face and narrated in an indifferent tone: "In the eighth year of Empress Gao's reign, the Lü clan rebelled, and the ministers killed them. Later, the emperor summoned and established the King of Dai."

"The Prince of Dai entered Chang'an and became Emperor Xiaowen. A few months after he ascended the throne, Emperor Wen's four legitimate sons died suddenly one after another!"

"second."

The voice in the hall continued to echo without any ripples, "In the second year of the previous emperor's Zhongyuan reign, the emperor issued an imperial decree to recall Linjiang King Liu Rong on the grounds of occupying the walls of the ancestral temple."

"After Liu Rong arrived in Beijing, the emperor ordered Lieutenant Zhidu to interrogate him. Zhidu was famous for his cruel punishments. Liu Rong was frightened and committed suicide!"

The words fell.

The temperature in the hall seemed to drop a few degrees, but the emperor was unaware and continued speaking: "Everyone knows that Emperors Wen and Jing were kind and caring for their people. This is indeed the case."

"But you are not a person who follows the crowd. You are the crown prince!"

"You have to know that as an emperor, in addition to benevolent, you also need to be ruthless and indifferent to everything!"

Having said this, the emperor finally turned around.

He looked at the silent prince with a cold gaze and said solemnly: "You are right about one thing. I am very dissatisfied with you today!"

"It's just remarrying a princess, not asking her to die suddenly or commit suicide, but you can't keep your cool. If you were in the situation of Emperor Wen or the previous emperor, what would you do?"

"Let's take a step back..."

Liu Che stared at his son and said bluntly: "Even if you are moved by a few tears today and want to come to beg for mercy, I said you should not come in."

"You should kneel outside the temple and beg loudly!"

"Let the world know your kindness, benevolence, and love, instead of trying to reason with me or act like a bullshit hero!"

Political animals are always political animals. There are right ways and wrong ways. Although their choices are different, their intentions remain consistent.

The left and right sides cannot be separated from the word "power struggle".

Liu Ju left again, having been scolded thoroughly. He did not return to the Pepper Palace, but went straight back to the Crown Prince's Palace...

Three days later.

The emperor issued an edict to marry Prince Guangchuan's half-sister to Luan Da, Marquis of Le Tong.

It was impossible to tell whether two princesses could replace one princess, and the emperor had no intention of telling the difference. As long as a princess from the royal family married into the family, it would be enough to give Luan Da the status of a "relative".

I will not go into details about how Princess Wei Chang thanked the Crown Prince.

The words are divided into two parts.

Outsiders are unaware of and cannot see clearly the family disputes in the palace. Because of their low status and limited knowledge, they are inevitably blinded by their own shortcomings.

Just as Luan Da, who had gained power overnight, could not see the emperor's intentions, when his originally intended wife suddenly changed from a princess to a princess, and a princess with a bad reputation.

Luan Da still couldn't see clearly!
From his point of view, the prince treated his visiting card as a worn-out shoe, which was tantamount to humiliation. This was the first point of view; the prince deliberately interfered in the flood control and put obstacles in his way. This was the second point of view.

Today, he ruined his plan again.

Time and again, the prince has been deliberately going against me!
As his status became more prominent, within a few months, he had six seals hanging around his waist, was given a title of nobility, became famous all over the world, and high-ranking officials and dignitaries rushed to visit him. His desire for power skyrocketed...

Luan Da is no longer the alchemist Luan Da.

When he first learned that the prince had rejected his visiting card, he was merely angry and displeased. But today, his displeasure has turned into dissatisfaction, and his anger has turned into hostility!
"You don't believe in ghosts and gods, so you have nothing to fear?"

"Oh, a prince who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods is not a good prince!"

As the summer heat rose, Crown Prince Liu Ju once again took his two concubines to the summer palace near the Qinling Mountains.

In name, it was to escape the summer heat. However, only Liu Ju knew that his previous intervention had delayed the emperor's operation, so it would be best if he did not hang around and get in the way in the near future.

The emperor acquiesced to this action. Some important officials who could truly see through the emperor's intentions even wondered whether the prince was being punished for his rash intervention.

His uncle Wei Qing, cousin Huo Qubing and others came to ask him one after another, and Liu Ju certainly could not tell them what the emperor father asked him to remember in Chengming Palace that day.

These are too deep.

And telling others about it will do no good, it will only add to their stress.

So, Liu Ju, shirtless and wearing shorts, showed his leisurely vacation life to his uncle and cousin.

Swimming like a dog paddle, flopping in various styles, fishing in the river, climbing the mountain...

amount.

Since they didn't go up the mountain to hunt birds, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing returned home. They really didn't care about anything else.

After sending his uncle and brother off safely, Liu Ju's happy life continued. He would go to the river when he needed to and go to the mountains when he needed to.

This day.

The mountain paths were lined with green trees, and I thought today would be another simple day of bird hunting with a crossbow.

Unexpectedly, the thing that Liu Ju had actively avoided, or rather, the person, actually chased into the Qinling Mountains and bumped into him!
"Your Highness."

At the other end of the mountain path, several guards led a child in and said with a fist, "This person said he was delivering a message for the master and wanted to invite Your Highness to have a chat."

Liu Ju, who was drawing an arrow, looked in the direction of the sound with a strange look. The two concubines beside him, who were dressed in tight clothes, also had sparkling eyes.

They have been climbing mountains with the prince these past two days, and have heard many stories about wise men and extraordinary people in the mountains.

Did we really run into each other today?

No.

The person who invited him was a strange man, not a wise man from the countryside, and they all knew each other. Liu Ju asked what was the name of his host, and the boy answered:

"The current Le Tong Marquis, Luan Da."

When Liu Ju heard the name, before he could speak, Su Wu, who had been following him, stepped forward, looked at the child, frowned and said:
"Marquis Le Tong wants to host a banquet for the prince, but why is he not in the city? Why is he in this dense forest in the mountains?"

"This……"

The boy felt the gazes of the guards around him, and his face suddenly became nervous: "I don't know, the master asked me to invite you, saying that we should have tea and talk about Taoism."

"The rest... the rest..."

"Okay." Liu Ju saw that the boy was at a loss, and knew that he was just a messenger. "Don't embarrass him. Where is your master?"

"My lord, the master is waiting for us on the other side of the mountain stream."

"interesting."

Liu Ju smiled and said, "You want to discuss Taoism with me?"

He put his hands holding the crossbow behind his back, thought for a moment, and said to Su Wu: "They are coming here openly, it would be inappropriate for me to be timid."

"Bring the horse here, and let's go meet him."

The prince said it easily, but Su Sheren couldn't really listen to it easily. Before Liu Ju left, the guards of the prince's palace had already gone ahead.

After crossing a stream and walking along a not-so-steep mountain path for a while, a thatched pavilion suddenly appeared by the river.

There was already a man sitting under the pavilion. Who else could it be but Luan Da?

"Your Highness, I am Luan Da, Marquis of Le Tong, and I pay my respects to His Highness."
