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

Chapter 198: Unable to Support

Silence comes from weirdness.

The sudden change in the wind direction at the court meeting was so strange that it was completely incomprehensible.

At this point, even the dumbest person could guess what the prince had done. The key point was, what exactly were these 'whats'?
The only one that is easy to guess is the General Li Guangli, because he showed obvious signs of being beaten.

Think of this.

A chill suddenly arose in the hearts of all the officials. When they glanced at a certain Imperial Censor, the meaning was unclear. Some ministers who had been in office for many years had already silently looked at the Chief Justice, Wang Wenshu!
In the Yi Zong case, this person should have been the one who called for fighting and killing, but he just kept his mouth shut the whole time.

A Wang Wenshu, plus a Shi Yushi, if you think of a conflict in the fourth year of Yuanshou, a name is ready to come out -

Zhang Tang!

Thinking of this, the minister who guessed the truth was secretly shocked. Could it be that all of Zhang Tang’s former disciples and former officials had defected to the prince?
Li Guangli failed here, but what about Taichang and Shaofu who suddenly changed the subject?

While the court officials were suspicious, Taichang Zhou Zhongju, who was walking on the palace road with steady steps and a calm face, had already made up his mind - to drown that slave girl as soon as he returned home!

At the same time, inside the Xuanshi Hall.

thump.

Shaofu Zhao Yu ignored the presence of Marquis Guanjun and knelt on the ground with a sincere expression. He bowed to Liu Ju and said, "I am guilty. Please punish me, Your Highness!"

"Oh, no, no." Liu Ju was flattered. He quickly walked down the imperial steps and reached out to help... but couldn't.

Liu Ju did not help him.

But he was still anxiously saying, "Alas, Shaofu must not perform such a grand ceremony. If my father knew about it, he would definitely blame me."

"You deserve it, Your Highness!" Zhao Yu prostrated himself and said solemnly, "As long as the title of Marquis Tiao can be continued, I am willing to die for Your Highness!"

"Never speak nonsense!"

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there has only been one Marquis Tiao, who resisted Emperor Wen outside the Xiuli Camp and helped Emperor Jing during the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, namely:
Marquis Zhou Yafu!
In the third year of Emperor Jingdi's reign, Zhao Yu served Zhou Yafu as a historian; in the fifth year of Emperor Jingdi's reign, Zhou Yafu was promoted to prime minister, and Zhao Yu served as the prime minister's historian.

In other words.

In that long-forgotten era, Zhou Yafu, Marquis of Tiao, was the one who supported Zhao Yu.

Zhou Yafu has a nephew, Pingqu Hou Zhou Jiande, who is now the Prince's Tutor...

"Your Highness, are you going to extend the title of marquis to Zhou?" In the hall, after Zhao Yu left, Huo Qubing asked as if he had suddenly realized something.

"It can't be continued." Liu Ju looked at the back of the man leaving the palace and told his cousin the truth: "At least not now."

"Then Zhao Yu previously..."

Facing Huo Qubing's doubts, Liu Ju chuckled and said, "He knelt today and sold his favor. He is just waiting for my future."

What future?
Ascended to the throne!

Zhao Yu knew that the current emperor had a bad impression of Tiao Hou. After all, the reason why the previous emperor was determined to kill Zhou Yafu was:
This unhappy person is not a minister of the young master.

Liu Che, the "young master", would never "overturn the verdict" for Zhou Yafu.

Just now at the court meeting, I heard that the Prince's tutor Zhou Jiande requested that he seek a title for his cousin to succeed the Marquis of Tiao.

Zhao Yu immediately realized that the prince was making conditions that touched Zhao Yu's heart. He had no way of refusing, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. After the court meeting, he knelt flatly...

"Your Highness, this is a brilliant move. I admire you."

After his worries were relieved, Huo Qubing praised him in a relaxed tone, but he turned around and asked, "Would it be inappropriate to find someone to inherit the title of Marquis Tiao?"

As a grandson, you can't just learn your grandfather's "chess board" without considering his reputation, right?
obviously.

The implication of Huo Qubing's words was to be conveyed to the prince.

On the high steps outside the Xuanshi Hall, the two walked side by side. Liu Ju looked at Huo Qubing in surprise and thought to himself, "Wow, cousin, are you going to be both civil and military? You're also thinking about the political intrigues in the court."

Liu Ju told the truth. It was indeed difficult to continue the inheritance of Shangtiaohou for the Zhou family, but it was not impossible. The Zhou family had a precedent.

Zhou family.

It originated from Zhou Bo, a founding hero who was granted the title of Marquis of Jiang.

Zhou Bo was a man who was a bit too successful and thus threatened the emperor. He was treated badly by Emperor Wen during his lifetime. After his death, his eldest son who inherited his title was executed for "murder" and his fiefdom was abolished for a time.

A year later, Emperor Wen selected Zhou Bo's second son to inherit the title of Marquis of Jiang and conferred him the title of Marquis of Tiao.

That is Zhou Yafu.

Fate played a joke on the Zhou family. During the reign of Emperor Jing, Zhou Yafu was dealt with again. Zhou Yafu starved himself to death, and the Tiaohou State was abolished.

however.

Another year later, Emperor Jing chose Zhou Bo's youngest son to inherit the title of Marquis of Jiang and named him Marquis of Pingqu!
It is the lineage of Zhou Jiande, the current Prince's Tutor.

Zhou Bo, Zhou Yafu, Zhou Jiande, their titles all originated from Zhou Bo's title of Marquis of Jiang.

When Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing performed this operation, the reason they gave was that Zhou Bo had made contributions during the founding of the country.

Liu Ju could totally follow the example of his ancestors and create a story: Marquis Zhou Yafu quelled the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms and made great contributions, so he could continue a branch of the Zhou family!
of course.

This is a blank check. If you want to cash it, you have to wait until Liu Ju takes over...

"Your Highness has thought it through, and I am far from being as thoughtful as you." A few days ago, the Champion Marquis, who had just realized that he needed to be both civil and military, did not think as much as the people with twists and turns in some areas. Huo Qubing frowned and asked:

"Where's Taichang?"

"Dongfang Shuo is my man. The ridiculous thing he said at the court meeting about snatching a woman from his son is what Tai Chang did." Liu Ju said bluntly.

Hear this.

Huo Qubing showed a look of disgust, "I thought it was a joke, but I never thought..."

He shook his head and stopped talking about it. He turned to look at Liu Ju with a smile on his face: "I have seen your Highness's methods. After today, I wonder who dares to gather a crowd in the court to force us. Humph!"

"Hahahaha!"

The one who praised was proud, and the one who was praised was not polite at all. On the long palace road of Weiyang Palace, in the morning sun, the figures of the two brothers gradually walked away...

"Political affairs are simple. It's all about making those who support you more numerous and those who oppose you less numerous!"

"Your Highness, I would like to thank you for your kind words this time..."

"Hey, I'm being polite, cousin. I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you acting like a sissy?"

"Um!?"

On that day, the Marquis of Guanjun took the Crown Prince to practice in the martial arts arena. It is said that there were constant howling sounds in the Crown Prince's palace that day...

……

Li Mansion, the residence of General Li Guangli.

In the side hall, Li Guangli was sitting in the main seat, with five or six playboys kneeling in front of him, and a group of sturdy servants surrounding him outside the hall.

The one who knelt down first had a slap mark on his cheek, and the red mark was clearly visible, but his face showed rebellion. The rest of them were dressed neatly, but were trembling with fear.

"Who followed you to fight?" Li Guangli asked in a cold voice.

Li Ji, who was kneeling on the ground, moved his lips, stiffened his neck, and said nothing.

"Okay, be loyal."

Li Guangli looked at the trembling rakes and ordered in a cold voice, "Cut off their right hands!"
