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

Chapter 215 Li Guang's Wisdom

"Okay." Liu Ju stood up, turned around and walked away, very casually, but after taking two steps, he heard a shout from behind:

"and many more!"

Perhaps because he hadn't scolded enough, the emperor still had a gloomy face. Liu Ju stopped and bowed respectfully with great discernment:
"What else do you want, Father?"

The emperor put his hands on his waist, waited for his breathing to stabilize, and then stared at Liu Ju and asked, "Do you know why Zhao Po Nu and Gong Sun He were stripped of their titles?"

"know."

Liu Ju was frank and said, "Too many marquises have been stripped of their titles. I need to find some trusted people to silence the people of the world to show justice."

After hearing this, the depressing atmosphere in Chengming Hall gradually eased. The reason was that the emperor's anger had only really subsided at this moment.

Liu Che's face looked better. "It's good to know. Explain it clearly to Qubing, as well as those two reckless people, Li Guang and his son."

"I can take away their titles today, and I can also find a war to re-confer them in the future. What a bunch of troublesome guys!"

"Go."

This time he was not stopped when he left. Liu Ju left Chengming Hall. As soon as he stepped out of the hall door, he saw Huo Qubing staring at him in the distance.

Liu Ju grinned but didn't dare laugh out loud. He swung his sleeves and ran down the stairs.

Today's micro-operation was very successful.

Huo Qubing lost the title of Grand Marshal and the title of Marquis of Wanhu. Apart from being spit on and kicked twice, overall, it is cause for celebration!

The two men who had successfully joined forces did not stay for a moment and walked out of the palace whispering to each other.

"How come my cousin only shot me in the shoulder and missed?"

"How can I do that? If it were a dense forest, I would have shot him in the throat with one arrow, but in front of everyone and with you standing next to me, how could I kill you?"

"Tsk, that's right. Zhao Yu saw at a glance that I was letting him win. If someone really died, we would both be in big trouble..."

"Your Highness, do you want me to shoot him with another arrow and kill him?"

"No, Old Liu is about to explode. The first time was just a rage and he couldn't stand it anymore, but the second time was premeditated murder, which is of a different nature."

"Old Liu?"

"Oh, my beloved father..."

The Crown Prince and Marquis Guanjun were whispering to each other all the way until they approached the East Palace Gate and met the general who rushed into the palace.

Wei Qing rushed into the palace, naturally to plead for his two nephews, but before the rescuer arrived, the two 'rescued' had already swaggered out?

Liu Ju and the other man must explain to Wei Qing their uncle's doubts and the inner story, as there are so many people around and it is not convenient to say too much.

The three of them went to the Prince's Palace together.

Dusk.

Wei Qing and Huo Qubing left, and soon after, Li Liangdi's carriage also left the Prince's Palace...

Wuyanghou Mansion.

In the inner hall, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren sat and talked quietly. Li Yan said in a cold tone: "The court officials have been assassinated. There will definitely be a lot of turmoil in the morning court tomorrow."

"Your Majesty has already given a promise to the General of the Cavalry. In order to appease the public anger, he will be stripped of his title of Grand Marshal, have his fief reduced, and be forced to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors."

Speaking of which.

Li Yin looked at the first one and reminded him, "Although Grandfather didn't hurt anyone directly, he led the riot and must reflect on his mistakes for three months."

"Humph!"

Li Guang weighed the punishments for himself and the Huo family kid, and felt that he had taken advantage, so he just said, "Just shut him up, what's the big deal!"

It's just a matter of causing trouble and beating someone up. Li Guangli is not dead, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Besides, old man Li's focus is not here.

He suddenly sat up and whispered to Li Yan, "Granddaughter, tell grandfather the truth, what are the rules for seizing the title?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked you to come here. Is there something you want to tell me?"

Hear the words.

Li Gan, who was sitting opposite, also looked at it intently. As the person who was stripped of his title, if his father had not suppressed him before, Li Gan would have asked eagerly.

There is no inside story about the robbery of the title by the emperor. It is just that the emperor wanted to eradicate the corrupt officials. As for Li Gan and others being affected, it is just as Liu Ju said in Chengming Hall.

"Your Majesty used the lack of tribute as an excuse to abolish more than a hundred marquises. It is impossible that you only remove the others and not the ministers who are your confidants." Li Yin said sternly, "To shut up the mouths of the people, we can only let my father and others suffer a little."

After hearing these words.

Li Gan's expression was very interesting. He wanted to say something, but Li Guang glared at him. As a son, he could only shrink his neck and mutter:

"Why should you wrong me?"

"His Majesty has said that if there is a war in the future, he will let my father and others lead the troops to restore the title." Li Yin looked a little puzzled. "This matter must be understood. His Majesty's decree has been issued and it cannot be taken back..."

The words fell.

The three people in the room fell silent.

According to Li Guang's previous temper, he should not remain silent, saying "Why!" on the left and "I want to see His Majesty!" on the right.

This is Li Guang's consistent style.

Eh.

That was exactly the way he acted when he stopped Li Guangli on the street. That was right. Why did he suddenly change his temper now?

Nothing else, just one sentence——

People become treacherous with age, horses become slippery with age, and eagles find it difficult to catch rabbits with age.

The more experiences one has, the more lessons one learns. Li Guang lived a carefree life for decades. Since he was granted the title of marquis, he has cherished his hard-earned happiness even more.

So old man Li looked back on his life, racked his brains and came up with two very simple and vital principles of conduct.

First, the emperor is the boss.

Second, the prince is the second son.

Starting from the first point, could Li Guangli and Zhao Yu accomplish such a big thing? Abolish half of the marquises in the world?

You know it’s not possible, they don’t have that ability!
The only person who can make the final decision is His Majesty the Emperor.

Li Guang had already guessed who was behind this. The reason why he angrily went to Li Guangli and Zhao Yu to make trouble was simply because of those two words:

justice.

If you recall carefully, you will find that when Li Guang stopped Zhao Yu and the other two, he immediately blamed them for the seizure of the title...

This wave of operations is smart, but not much; it is a bit cautious, but not much.

A truly smart person.

I won't let Li Gan bring Tiqi with him...

"Father was reckless today. It's not impossible to stop Li Guangli and the others, but you shouldn't have brought the Tiqi to stop them, and you shouldn't have let the Tiqi take action."

Li Yan said solemnly: "The Imperial Guards are the military force of the capital. It is a taboo to mobilize them easily, let alone to use them to attack the court officials?"

"If His Highness had not asked you to make amends later, would grandfather not be the only one who would reflect on his mistakes?"

If you don't make up for it.

How can it be forgotten by just reflecting on it behind closed doors?
Li Gan recalled the scene where the prince asked him to take the imperial guards to protect Zhao Yu and the other two, and his expression became embarrassed. Li Guang was also a little embarrassed at this moment.

Seeing his grandfather and father's expressions change, Li Yin paused and continued, "This time, my father was stripped of his title, probably because of the Crown Prince's Palace, and was deliberately retaliated by Li Guangli."

"Your Highness is kind and would like to give you some compensation. The governor of Shanggu County has some friendship with Your Highness and can recommend my cousin to be a military inspector."

"Train him in the border counties for a few years, and Your Highness will find an opportunity to promote him in the future..."

Next to the courtyard.

Li Liangdi finished explaining what she needed to say and stood up to leave. Li Guang and his son stood in the corridor, looking at each other from a distance. Li Gan asked doubtfully:

"The prince has given Yun'er some kind of love potion? Why do I feel like she's leaning towards the prince?"

"You know nothing!"

The old man Li kicked his son, causing him to stagger. Li Guang cursed, "Who else should we favor if not the prince?"

"If it really favors my family, it might turn out to be a disaster..."

The last sentence that Old Man Li said was vague. If you ask him why he thought so, he doesn't know.

But when he was playing with the wisdom he had accumulated over the past few decades, the endings of the Dou family and the Tian family vaguely told Li Guang that being a relative by marriage also has its own rules!
