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

Chapter 222: How does Han Xin compare to Huo Qubing?
In the past, Shangguan Jie had spotted the third prince, Liu Dan, but unfortunately the prince's followers were too cautious and exiled him to a fiefdom early on.

But it doesn’t matter, Shangguan Jie still has a backup choice—the Li family, whom he has been befriending since he was a humble person!

Now that Madam Li has given birth to a son and Li Guangli has been made a marquis, if we don't vote now, when will we? Your Majesty has promoted them well.

The timing is just right!
At this moment, Shangguan Jie insisted on completing the ceremony, with a worried look on his face, and at the same time, he showed a certain degree of humility, and lamented, "Is the injury of the Grand Master better?"

"hehe."

Li Guangli was happy to have a follower, but when he felt the pain in his left arm, the smile on his face turned a little cold.

"How can a wound pierced by a strong bow heal so quickly?" The person who said this was not Li Guangli, but a scholar sitting opposite Shangguan Jie.

To be precise, it was a Confucian scholar.

He has a fair face, a high nose bridge, a heroic look between his eyebrows, and an elegant look when he raises his hands. He really has a good-looking appearance.

"The General of Cavalry is an unparalleled archer and pierced your shoulder with an arrow. If he had not shown mercy, I'm afraid..." As he said this, he smiled and shook his head.

See this.

Shangguan Jie looked slightly surprised, but fortunately Li Guangli quickly explained to him: "Bochu is just harsh in his words, you'll get used to it, uncle."

Shangguan Jie, whose courtesy name was Shaoshu.

The Confucian scholar Song Jia, whose courtesy name was Bochu, had not been a retainer of the Marquis of Pingnan's mansion for long, but Li Guangli trusted him very much.

Firstly, it is because Song Jia is very smart and resourceful.

Secondly, Song Jia had already submitted his pledge of allegiance and was remembered by the Crown Prince's palace. Nothing could be more reliable than that pledge of allegiance...

"The General of the Cavalry is indeed amazing." Li Guangli gently covered the wound on his left shoulder and continued, "In terms of archery, I really can't compare..."

talking.

His face darkened, "But so what? I still have to take revenge!"

Li Guangli did not hide his anger at all, and there was no need to hide it in front of the two people in the room.

Shangguan Jie nodded and said, "Of course. I almost died in public. If I don't show my gratitude in the future, people will only look down on me."

"No matter how good a cavalry general's martial arts are, he cannot rely on martial arts alone to gain a foothold in the court. He will always find an opportunity."

Shangguan Jie got into the role very quickly. As soon as the host finished speaking, he analyzed the situation for Li Guangli.

As soon as one side finishes talking, another side starts talking.

Song Jia smiled, "General Huoqi is highly skilled in martial arts and has made great military achievements. It is not appropriate to use trickery to frame him or plot against him."

"Oh?"

Shangguan Jie heard this, looked at Li Guangli who remained silent, then looked across, realizing that today's discussion seemed to have a purpose, he took the initiative to speak:
"Please explain it to me, Bo Chu."

"Hehehe."

Song Jia laughed again and continued, "Everyone in the world knows that the General of the Cavalry has made great military achievements at a young age, catching up with the general, and your majesty likes him very much."

"How can such a person trip him up?"

"We have to praise him!"

Praise him to the sky, and finally, praise him to death...

Shangguan Jie understood the meaning, remained silent, and waited for the next words.

"Your Majesty likes Huo Qubing now, but what about the future?" The smile on Song Jia's face suddenly had a hint of sarcasm and disdain.

"When your majesty first came to power, he trusted Wei Qing so much in order to attack the Xiongnu. He even dared to let Wei Qing, a slave, lead an army alone."

"The degree of favor he received is even greater than that of Huo Qubing!"

"But what about now?" The sarcasm on the scholar's face became more obvious, and there was no need to say the rest. Now everyone knew the emperor's intention to balance the Wei family and check and balance the general.

this moment,
Shangguan Jie looked at him sideways, while Li Guangli said coldly: "I can't compare with him in martial arts, and I can't compare with him in military achievements. How famous is Huo Qubing?"

"Then I'll help him!"

Help him to step into his uncle's situation as soon as possible, and then we can settle our vengeance!
This is also why, after Huo Qubing committed the crime in the street, the criticism gradually decreased. Li Guangli did not put in any effort. Not only did he not put in any effort, he also continued to praise Huo Qubing in every way.

Let's see when the other party falls...

"When the Emperor Gao was old, Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, was in his prime. How brave and heroic was the Emperor Gao? How does he compare to your Majesty today?"

"Han Xin was so famous, but how could he compare to Huo Qubing?" Li Guangli said bitterly, "Who could have predicted Han Xin's death?"

"If Han Xin can die, why can't Huo Qubing? No, he can die just the same!"

Hear this.

Shangguan Jie looked stern, and said, "Don't worry, Grand Commander. I know what to do."

When he came to visit today, Li Guangli specially asked his retainers to be present and said these words specifically to communicate.

Huo Guang's guess was correct. Because of the arrow shot by his brother in front of Shangguan Street, in full view of everyone, he had a deadly feud with the Li family, and the feud would not end until one of them died...

At this time.

The Confucian scholar Song Jia, who was sitting on the left, sipped his tea and said, "Huo Qubing has a close relationship with the prince. This is the prince's advantage, but also his weakness."

"If something happened to Huo Qubing, how could the Crown Prince not be affected? Besides, although Wei Qing is cautious, he can also praise him when appropriate."

"Ah."

The scholar sneered, "Fighting Huo Qubing to avenge Ming Gong is the goal, but fighting Huo Qubing is not the goal either. The final outcome will ultimately depend on the crown prince!"

Li Guangli narrowed his eyes slightly. How could he not know the key point? What surprised him slightly was that the scholar did not stop talking, and his subsequent words made him think.

"Ming Gong."

"If Huo Qubing can be praised, why can't the prince?" After saying this, Song Jia picked up the teacup again, smiling without saying anything.

Li Guangli frowned when he heard this.

The prince is old, which is his advantage but also his disadvantage. Now, Your Majesty is in good health and shows no signs of being depressed.

But after a few more years, the emperor will have gray hair and many illnesses, while the crown prince will be strong and healthy...

The monarch, his subjects, fathers and sons both help and fight each other. The prince's followers are spread throughout the court and the country. If we can make him fight with Your Majesty more fiercely, there will undoubtedly be an opportunity to take advantage of.

however.

Who knows when Your Majesty will show signs of depression?

The crown prince is not a general of cavalry. One is his biological son, and the other is a general of a different surname. Their identities are different, and your majesty’s tolerance level is also different.

If you want to praise the Crown Prince and make His Majesty feel a sense of crisis, the price you will pay will be a hundred or a thousand times more than if you praise the General of Cavalry!
"Besides, if we support the prince, it will indirectly harm Liu Bo's interests, which means my losses..." Li Guangli's eyes flickered and he was hesitant to speak.

now.

Shangguan Jie, who was sitting on the right, said tentatively: "Grand Order, in my opinion, you can praise or fight."

Li Guangli looked in the direction of the voice and said, "Young uncle, just speak frankly."

"When it comes to crucial points, I think we must fight and not give in an inch, otherwise one side will gain while the other loses, which will be very harmful to the future."

Shangguan Jie sorted out his thoughts and continued, "As for some unimportant matters that Your Majesty is very concerned about, you may want to lend a helping hand to the Crown Prince."

"For example, the popularity of the people, the alchemists..."
