With his body hunched over, Liu De carefully walked to the Lingshu in the middle of the hall.
Countless familiar faces from previous lives appeared in front of Liu De one by one.
The first person kneeling in front of the soul is the cheap old man who is still in the prime of life. On the left side of the emperor, the emperor Liu Qi, kneeling side by side is the empress dowager Dou. Behind these two people, kneeling side by side, is the king of Liang Liu Wu.
, the Bo family, the Dou family's relatives, and then the emperor's concubines and the princes and kings from all over the world.
Seeing Liu De coming over, a few puzzled looks were cast directly on him.
"Why are you here?" Seeing Liu De's sudden appearance, Liu De's cheap mother Su Ji pursed her lips, quickly grabbed Liu De's sleeves, and shouted in a low voice: "Quickly retreat and kneel outside!"
Liu De glanced at Su Ji. At this time, Su Ji's appearance was gradually declining. From a purely male perspective, her figure was out of shape and wrinkles began to appear on her forehead. After all, she was already in her thirties. This
Even with the cosmetics and makeup technology of the 21st century, it is difficult to cover up the traces of time.
Smart people such as Liu She's biological mother Wang Dan, after realizing that her youth was gone, decisively dedicated her sister to the emperor's father, which not only won the emperor's father's favor, but also gained an ally in the court.
But what about Suji...
But still stuck in the time nineteen years ago...
Looking at Su Ji, Liu De sighed in his heart, some people are already hopeless.
I said sorry in my heart.
Then, Liu De decisively knelt down and bowed: "The unfilial son Liu De pays homage to his father, the emperor's grandmother and all the uncles and uncles of the clan!"
After saying that, Liu De pressed his forehead tightly to the ground, waiting for his cheap dad to speak.
Liu De's words were not loud, but very penetrating. Most importantly, there was no hesitation or stage fright.
This made many princes and kings keep their eyes on Liu De for a while.
The emperor has yet to establish a crown prince. Therefore, in a broad sense, the emperor currently has ten sons, and everyone has a chance.
Liu De's sudden appearance made many people become interested.
This is not because Liu De has the spirit of a bastard. When his tiger body shakes, people will know that he is the real dragon emperor.
But this branch of the Liu De family does not have a very good reputation among the Liu clan.
Back then, when Liu De's cheap father was still the prince, he smashed the prince of Wu to death with a chessboard on the streets of Chang'an.
What is even more tragic is that the court has not yet given any results regarding the death of Prince Wu...
As the saying goes, like father, like son.
What if you meet a prince on the street one day, and then he smashes you to death with a chessboard because you don't open your eyes? How unjust would that be?
As long as they think of this past event, the princes and princes will naturally become concerned. Anyway, it is not a bad thing to remember each prince's appearance, personality, and preferences clearly.
One thing that must be admitted is that the genetic optimization project of the old Liu family is really good. Basically, the appearance of all the princes is not bad.
More than a hundred years later, Ban Gu said in the Han Dynasty: The minister's aunt was named Jieyu, and his father and son, Kun and his younger brother, served in the curtains and curtains, and several ministers said: The emperor is good at cultivating his appearance.
He speaks harshly, but does not point his finger personally, and he is facing the abyss of the court. His dignity is like a god, and he can be said to be the face of Emperor Mu Mu!
Even Emperor Cheng, who had been drained by wine and sex, was praised for having the appearance of Emperor Mu Mu.
Liu De, who just celebrated his fifteenth birthday, is naturally not far behind.
Although he is less than 1.6 meters tall, he has clear outlines, a slender figure, and a good temperament. He kneels on the ground like a sculpture.
"What's the matter?" After a while, Emperor Liu Qi, who had been silent, finally asked.
"I heard that my mother had fainted, and I was worried about it, so I boldly asked my father for permission to visit her, as a way of fulfilling my filial piety!" Liu De said softly.
But when he said these words, it was no less than dropping a bombshell in this palace.
The queen mother Liu De mentioned was naturally not his cheap mother Su Ji.
According to the rules, there is only one person who can be called mother and queen by the prince on formal occasions, and that is the current empress, Empress Bo.
Only the empress, who is the mother of the world and is in charge of the throne, is the common mother of all the princes in theory.
However, that is only theoretical.
In fact, almost everyone in the world knows that the current Queen Bo did not please the emperor. The reason why Bo's position as queen was stable was because of her great aunt, the Empress Dowager. Now that the old lady has passed away, Bo
The queen's position immediately began to falter.
No one could understand Liu De's behavior at this time.
However, several princes and princes who were relatives of the Bo family cast grateful glances at Liu De.
Everyone knows that it is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide help when the time is right.
When the old lady was here, the Bo family was naturally a relative of the Han Dynasty, and even the emperor had to show courtesy. However, as soon as the old lady left, the whole world changed overnight, and the Bo family fully understood what it meant.
Human relationships are cold and warm, while the world is hot and cold.
At this time, Liu Deneng remembered that he wanted to visit Queen Bo, which naturally moved the Bo family greatly.
When the Bo family is happy, some people will naturally be unhappy.
Su Ji's face turned livid almost instantly, and the faces of several elders of the Dou family were not very good-looking either. However, the old Queen Mother seemed to have nothing happened, and she knelt quietly in front of the Lingshu, as if everything was with her.
It doesn't matter.
"This is the right thing to do, that's right..." The emperor above said these words calmly, then turned around and continued to kneel down towards Lingshu. For him, even if he didn't like the queen, he
In this national mourning, the necessary face must be maintained. The queen fainted just now, but no prince came forward to express her feelings, which already made her lose her face.
Anyone familiar with the inside story knows that the late Emperor Xiaowen's favorite son was actually not him at all, but the late Liang Huai Wang Liu Yi. In order to train Liu Yi, the late Emperor even sent Jia Yi to Liu Yi.
Become a Taifu.
Before Liu Yi fell off his horse and died, his position as crown prince was not stable at all. If the then crown prince and now Queen Bo had not dealt with him many times in front of the Queen Mother, he would not have been able to survive the day Liu Yi died.
Therefore, Liu Qi was naturally very happy that Liu De could come to the rescue, but as the emperor, he could not show it.
"No!" Liu De bowed deeply. Only he knew that this was his first step on the road to self-rescue: "I will obey my father's orders!"
Then, Liu De turned around and explained softly to Su Ji: "Mother and concubine, please forgive my son for making his own decisions..."
Su Ji lowered her head, with a livid face, and refused to talk.
Liu De was already prepared.
If he wanted to embark on the road to seize the throne, he had to give up something. Besides, apart from the blood connection, he and Su Ji didn't have a deep relationship, so he didn't have the so-called feeling of guilt in his heart.
He lowered his head, looked at Su Ji's appearance, and said softly: "Mother, my Han family governs the world with filial piety. As a son of a human being, a son has to set an example..."
Although Liu De's words were soft, they could still be heard by several concubines nearby.
A generous person might laugh it off, but a petty person would immediately gnash his teeth with hatred.
"What do you mean?" Liu De clearly heard the voice of Liu She's mother, Wang Quan.
But Liu De ignored it, turned around and walked towards the inner palace with hunched body.
