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

Chapter 256 Marriage
Prince Dan committed adultery with his younger sister and his sister;

Going to the Imperial Palace to Report the Prince Dan's Adultery with His Sister and the Queen's Concubine - Book of Han

……

Chang'an City, outside Xi'an Gate.

All the officials were there, the prime minister and the prince stood side by side in the front, and the people in the distance were looking at them from afar.

The emperor has returned to the capital in triumph today. Because of a series of deeds such as the left wing of the Xiongnu paying homage and the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai, this return is of special significance, so the emperor and his ministers in Chang'an went out of the city to welcome him.

To show congratulations.

"Your Majesty went to Zhao State, but only stayed in the palace of King Zhao for two days. I don't know why."

"Yes, Your Majesty stayed in Qi for half a month..."

"Shh!"

Someone among the whispering officials uttered a low, obscure sound and winked at his colleagues, indicating that this topic should not be discussed.

The King of Zhao is the King of Zhao, and the King of Qi is the King of Qi. The former can be casually mentioned or arranged, but the latter is a bit sensitive and cannot be mentioned...

The colleague who was stopped looked slightly changed in expression, glanced at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince standing in front of him, smiled awkwardly, and quickly changed the subject.

"I heard that when Your Majesty passed through Luoyang, he found a descendant of the Zhou Wang family and named him Lord Zhou Zinan?"

"It is true. I heard that her name is Ji Jia..."

The discussion behind me started again.

Having said that, the ministers of the Han Dynasty are indeed somewhat lovable. Sometimes when they are irritated, they will insist on being right and even dare to confront the emperor, but sometimes they will be more cowardly than anyone else.

It is precisely this atmosphere, which retains the spirit of the Spring and Autumn Period yet is not rigid, that has created a group of lovely Han court officials.

So cute——

Although they were whispering and muttering, the volume was not that low. At least Liu Ju, who was standing in the front row, could hear it clearly...

He listened to what he wanted, but the discussions behind him did not subside at all.

At most, we won't talk about the Crown Prince's younger brother, the King of Qi's favor, His Majesty's love, the chaos of the fight for the throne, etc. If we don't talk about these, we can talk about other things.

The descendants of the Ji family who founded the country, the emperor who sought immortality, and the deep brotherhood among the royal family.

Take a look.

There are many topics.

Liu Ju, with his hands folded in front of him, listened to the whispering behind him. He did not show any displeasure on his face. Instead, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to be listening with great interest.

"cough!"

Just as a certain minister began to analyze what Your Majesty did by staying overnight in the King of Zhao's palace, was it similar to the experience of Emperor Gao when he passed through Zhao State in the past?

After hearing this, Liu Ju continued to smile, but Prime Minister Shi Qing could not stand it anymore and coughed heavily.

"quiet."

The reason why the old prime minister spoke out to stop them was that the Han court officials were too cute.

When Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang was leaving the capital, he passed through the State of Zhao and stayed overnight there. At that time, Zhang Ao, the King of Zhao, offered one of his concubines to Emperor Gaozu to sleep with.

who ever thought.

Emperor Gao was still strong and healthy at old age. The concubine became pregnant and gave birth to a son, who later became Liu Chang, King Li of Huainan.

Taking the example of a king of a different surname and framing brothers as brothers is too much. How could the King of Zhao give his concubine to his brother?
Can it?
It's possible! The courtiers' arrangement is not groundless.

The fifth son of Emperor Jing, Liu Fei, King Yi of Jiangdu, once had a concubine named Nao Ji.

After King Yi died, but before he was buried, his son Liu Jian summoned ten of his father's concubines, including Nao Ji, and committed adultery with them.

After Liu Jian's rebellion was exposed, he was sentenced to death.

Nao Ji, the beauty who was his fifth brother's according to etiquette and who had been touched by his nephew, was taken into the harem by the seventh brother, King Zhao, Liu Pengzu, and made a concubine.

It is said that the King of Zhao is now extremely fond of Nao Ji...

Is it a bit messy?

Chaos is the right thing to do. The palace of the princes of the Han Dynasty, especially that of King Liu Pengzu of Zhao, was filled with one word from top to bottom and from left to right.

chaos!
Judging from Liu Pengzu's past experience, what did it matter if he gave his concubine to his tenth brother in order to please the emperor?

Of course, these were just random guesses made by the court officials, and once the prime minister rebuked them, everyone stopped gossiping.

Just at this time.

The figures of cavalrymen appeared on the official road in the east. Seeing this, everyone became more solemn and, led by the prime minister and the prince, went forward to greet them in their best attire.

"Your Majesty, I welcome you back!"

"Okay, stop with the pretense." The scene outside Chang'an was similar to the scene outside Handan, but the emperor's reaction was very different. Liu Che got out of the carriage, glanced at the people present, and waved his hand, "The ministers stay, and everyone else go away."

"Here."

Everyone was already accustomed to His Majesty's casual behavior. They bowed and the subordinate officials left one after another.

After the strangers left, Liu Che did not get back into the carriage, but got off the carriage and walked towards the city gate with a group of ministers and generals.

At this point, the emperor finally smiled happily, "I have made some progress in the north this time, and it is also due to your overall planning in Chang'an."

"Don't dare."

Shi Qing, Bu Shi and others bowed in response.

After greeting the ministers who stayed behind, the emperor looked at a general who stayed behind beside him - General Huo Qubing.

The emperor took the cavalry general's hand and patted it warmly. He said some random greetings, but the smile on his face remained the same. His expression was just short of saying:

"Qubing, I also played Fengshan, it's at Mount Tai."

Saw this scene.

Everyone who was accompanying him knew that the emperor was truly happy and delighted after returning from his northern tour.

It can be said that from the moment the left wing of the Xiongnu surrendered and the emperor offered sacrifices to the gods, the current emperor Liu Che has become qualified to stand on equal footing with the previous emperors and is destined to go down in history!

The "former emperor" here refers to Emperor Jing, Emperor Wen, and Emperor Gao.

Being able to be on par with them, even someone as conceited and proud as Liu Che could not help but laugh out loud whenever he thought of it.

"Hahahahaha!"

At the foot of the city gate, the emperor was overjoyed. "On my way back to Beijing, I had already thought about building a magnificent palace to commemorate this great victory!"

"I will place the Huns' letter of submission in the center of the hall!"

None of the important officials around him were disappointed. Zhang Cheng, the chief architect, even stepped forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "It should be so. I will choose a date to select a site in Chang'an and build it."

The emperor nodded first, then shook his head.

"Don't choose a site for the new palace in the city. The city is too small. Build it outside the city." Liu Che obviously had a plan in advance. As he approached the city gate, he pointed to the west and said:

"It is built outside the Zhicheng Gate, next to the Weiyang Palace."

Hear the words.

Zhang Cheng was slightly stunned. The city was too small. How big would the palace His Majesty want to build be?
The Minister of Agriculture Sang Hongyang moved his lips several times, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself. However, after hesitating for a while, he finally did not spoil the emperor's mood at this festive moment.

At this time, the emperor had already taken the lead and entered the city gate. Since the Weiyang Palace was inside the Xi'an Gate, after entering the palace, the emperor began to give orders:

"Prepare a banquet. I want to entertain all my ministers. Today, we, the king and I, will get drunk together!"

"Haha, thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor was extremely heroic at this moment. In addition, among the ministers there was a comedian like Dongfang Shuo whose face was as thick as a city wall. If one side nodded, the other side would respond.

Later on, the emperor would not only entertain the ministers, but also the wives of the ministers' families. The emperor would drink in the front hall, while the empress would entertain guests in the back hall.

Have fun together!

On a festive day, Dongfang Shuo was so "pressing on the issue", but the emperor was not angry but happy. He laughed and joked with his important ministers when they were about to arrive at the Xuanshi Hall.

Liu Che finally said the first words of the day to Liu Qie, "I heard that Li Guang's granddaughter is pregnant. The Queen will hold a banquet later, so let her come."

The words fell.

Li Guang, who was following behind him, hummed comfortably. Old man Li raised his head proudly, with the corners of his mouth raised high, and glanced sideways at everyone present except the emperor and the prince.

Yes—everyone!

snort!
Old man Li made a sound from his nose, and then without even looking at anyone else, he held the knife and walked straight through Wei Qing and Huo Qubing and entered the hall first.

His Li family is awesome!

……

……

Shuofang County, north of Yinshan Mountain.

A small group of Han soldiers were cruising on the grassland. The cavalrymen looked alert and glanced into the distance from time to time. Suddenly, the leader narrowed his eyes. That was...

"Northwest! The Huns!"

"alert!"

At this time, a shout came from afar, "Don't be nervous——"

"We are the envoys of the Great Chanyu, and we are ordered to go to Chang'an to seek marriage with your emperor--"
