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

Chapter 210 If you don’t love, you just don’t love.
On the palace road, the newly appointed Grand Chancellor walked side by side with the Crown Prince. Liu Ju said jokingly, "Congratulations to Grand Chancellor Dongfang for your promotion."

"Ha ha!"

Dongfang Shuo returned to his usual thick-skinned attitude, twirling his beard and jokingly saying, "No, no, it's all thanks to your Majesty's kindness."

"Of course, it is inseparable from the kindness of His Highness."

"Hahahaha!"

The two men laughed out loud at the same time, looking so happy. When the laughter died down, Dongfang Shuo slightly put away his smug look and said hesitantly:

"I have been promoted, but I have lost the convenience of being a close minister. I will no longer be able to enter and leave the palace freely. I am afraid I can no longer inquire for Your Highness..."

"Eh."

Liu Ju waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "For some information, can you waste your whole life? Can't you do something after you go to the Grand Executive Mansion?"

"That's what His Highness said."

At this point, Dongfang Shuo rarely calmed down again. Thinking of another superior who was also going to take up a post at the Grand Executive Office, he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty's promotion of Li Guangli is probably related to the succession of the Prince of Nanyue."

When he was in the Nanyue Kingdom, Dongfang Shuo was still not quite sure, but after hearing about Li Guangli's promotion, he was basically 100% sure.

The emperor and Liu Ju knew the inside story of the diplomatic mission to Nanyue.

However, there are some things that we know but cannot tell, such as the King of Nanyue who was "scared to death", and the descendants of Nanyue princes who were killed by the "rebels".

"hehe."

Liu Ju revealed this and chuckled, "The matter of South Vietnam has been settled, there is no need to mention it again. Being able to get things done is a sign of ability!"

These words seemed to be spoken to Li Guangli, but in fact they were spoken to Dongfang Shuo.

Li Guangli killed all the princes and grandchildren of the Zhao family. He was too cruel and even a little vicious. Similarly, wasn't it vicious for Dongfang Shuo to poison the King of Nanyue?
From a moral point of view, yes.

From the perspective of the monarch, it is even a bit taboo...

but.

Liu, who is also a 'king', said - being able to get things done is ability. I don't care about the good or evil of the means, I only care about the right or wrong of the result!

"Your Highness, I..." Dongfang Shuo was moved and hesitated to speak.

"Don't say any more. I have prepared a celebration banquet for you in the Crown Prince's Palace. Let's get drunk today!"

"minister……"

"Stop making any noise."

"Your Highness, I want to say that you can't drink much."

"Hey! Xiao Shengzi, go and invite my cousin and uncle to come over and give these officials a stunt!"

"Hahahaha! What do I have to fear—"

……

At the same time, in the Yilan Palace, there was laughter and joy in the hall.

The newly promoted Marquis of Pingnan was holding a baby with a smile on his face. Even the usually taciturn Li Yannian was smiling at this moment.

"Brother, please be careful." Mrs. Li smiled bitterly and shook her head, unable to help but admonish him.

Li Guangli lifted the swaddling clothes high for a while, then put it down again, saying, "This is the greatest treasure of my Li family. I am more careful about it than anyone else."

"Beep, beep."

After teasing for a while, Li Guangli smiled and said, "Sister, when you have free time in the future, take your nephew to see His Majesty more often."

"There is only one prince in Weiyang Palace right now, and he is just the right person to fill the gap between your majesty and his father. We cannot let our son end up like the second or third prince."

"Dudu, dudu."

Li Guangli was still teasing the child, but Madam Li and Li Yannian looked at each other and both tasted something different.

After a while.

Li Guangli handed the swaddling clothes to the palace maid, and waited for everyone to leave before he picked up the topic again, "The second and third princes had no support from their mother's family, so they were exiled to their own kingdoms early on. If you don't want to repeat the same mistake, you'd better make plans early."

When Mrs. Li heard this, a chill rose between her brows. As a mother, you must be strong. As a mother, you must be strong. A woman's state of mind before and after giving birth is completely different.

As her eyelids trembled slightly, the coldness on Mrs. Li's face was quickly covered up by a sense of weakness.

"Brother is right."

At this time, Li Yannian, the commander of the music department, who was sitting and drinking tea, said, "We don't need to consider things before, but now we have to consider things that we couldn't consider before."

"Now I can think about it."

With the fourth prince, the title of marquis and the position of nine ministers, the Li family has completely established its foothold in the court and is no longer the nouveau riche or the lucky winner.

With confidence and foundation, everything will be different.

Such as now.

After Li Yannian finished speaking, Li Guangli looked at the tea in his hand and said calmly: "The queen was also a singer, and Wei and Huo are nothing special."

"The prince is not that noble."

"We are all serving His Majesty. Whatever they get, we can get as well..."

Three years ago, in the same palace, Li Ji, the fourth son of the Li family, once said something similar, and was scolded harshly by Li Guangli.

Mrs. Li's face turned even colder.

But today, three years later, the words "the queen is just a singing girl" reappeared, even more nakedly, but no one in the palace scolded them, and no one gave them the cold shoulder anymore.

Because I have the confidence.

With confidence, Li Guangli, who had looked down on people but dared not say anything in the past, now dared to speak out. With confidence, Mrs. Li's inferiority complex, which was easily triggered by the slightest provocation in the past, now disappeared.

She was no longer simply pleasing people with her beauty, she had a son!

The Li family was also conferred the title of marquis!

Just as my brother said, we are both born singers. Why should my son be sent to a fiefdom so early, while your son can hold power?

Just because your son was born early?

Madam Li looked at the cup of tea beside her, her pupils dilated, and thought to herself: "Who stipulated that the eldest son must succeed to the throne? Was it the deposed Crown Prince Liu Rong?"

'Ah. '

With a gentle push of her slender fingers, the tea on the table spilled out. Madam Li's beautiful face was smiling, still breathtakingly beautiful, so charming...

"Come here, no more tea is allowed in Yilan Palace."

"I don't like drinking."

Madam Li never liked drinking tea, and she disliked the plain tea made by the prince even more. She only pretended to drink it because the emperor liked it.

Now she doesn’t pretend anymore. If she doesn’t love someone, then she doesn’t love them!

In terms of preferences, Lady Li had obviously endured for a long time. It was normal for a concubine in the harem, but as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, his words were law.

Liu Che never pretended to like something he didn't like.

The next day.

There are two things happening at the inner court meeting.

The first was that when Nanyue Prime Minister Lu Jia rebelled, Qi Prime Minister Bu Shi submitted a petition expressing his willingness to join the army with his son.

The emperor granted him the title of Guannei Hou, as well as 40 kilograms of gold and ten hectares of land.

Announce to the world!

In the past, the imperial court had been at war for years and was short of finances. It called on wealthy people all over the world to donate, but no one responded. Only Bu Shi donated half of his wealth and thus became an official.

The imperial court conquered the Hexi Corridor and moved people to the border, which cost the national treasury a huge amount of money. Bu Shi donated money again, was promoted, and was granted a title.

now.

When the South Vietnam rebelled, the emperor ordered the generals to apply for the position, but no one responded. Only Bu Shi asked to join the army with his son, and was granted a title...

Second thing.

The emperor announced to the world that he wanted to offer sacrifices to the ancestral temple!
