Chapter 4 The Nature of the Son of Heaven

After walking out of the dormitory, Liu De adjusted his clothes and then looked back at the appearance of the dormitory.

I remember that after traveling through his previous life, he relied on the superficial historical common sense and ridiculous political opinions he brought from two thousand years later, running around like a headless fly.

At the beginning, all his thoughts were focused on the infant Liu She, and he was extremely afraid of him.

Unfortunately, he forgot one thing: history is written by the victors.

It was not until many years later that he realized this, but it was too late by then.

Fortunately, now that he has come back again, he is no longer unfamiliar with this era. He can even recite the birthplaces and backgrounds of the civil and military officials of the dynasty and the history of the fortunes of those giants who were active in the political arena with his eyes closed.

Through the fog of history, Liu De already knew many things clearly.

For example, until now, his cheap dad has never thought about setting up a savings account.

Even the subsequent appointment of his eldest brother Liu Rong as the crown prince was nothing more than a temporary measure.

Sounds funny.

But as someone who has experienced it, when Liu De reviewed the entire process, this was the only explanation.

In the last few years of his previous life, Liu De would sigh with regret every time he thought about this matter. If he had known this earlier, he would not have committed it in the first place...

Hindsight is, of course, nothing more than rhetoric.

However, when re-living to the beginning of this time travel.

Liu De became a prophet!

"I'm such a cheap dad..." Liu De sighed in his heart.

A set of data can perfectly reproduce the person and character of Liu Qi, the emperor of today.

Today Liu Qi gave birth to his first son Liu Rong when he was sixteen years old.

In the first three years, Liu De's cheap mother Su Ji gave birth to three sons for him, Liu Rong, Liu De himself and Liu Yan.

Then there was Cheng Ji, who gave birth to two sons, Liu Yu and Liu Fei, within three years.

In the middle, Cheng Ji's maid Tang Ji gave birth to a son Liu Fa for Liu De's cheap father.

Then Mrs. Jia gave birth to Liu Pengzu and Liu Sheng respectively within three years.

Except for Cheng Ji, who took advantage of Mrs. Jia's pregnancy and gave birth to a son, Liu Duan, for Liu Qi, there were no other concubines.

For the next eight years, the emperor had no children, until Wang Quan appeared and gave birth to Liu Zhi.

Listing the birth dates and biological mothers of all the princes up to now, we can clearly see that the current emperor Liu Qi is not a playboy, but a very dedicated emperor.

One can only last three to four years. During this period, he will basically only favor one person, but as long as the time limit is exceeded, he will quickly change his target.

But when Liu De's cheap father focused his energy on government affairs, another situation occurred.

Chao Cuo is now quite prestigious and powerful. Almost all the memorials he submits are not approved.

However, when the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu were in chaos, Chao Cuo was almost deceived and dragged to the street and beheaded.

After that, Zhou Yafu was in the heart of the emperor because of his military exploits. For a period of time, he almost became a model of mutual respect between king and minister.

However, when Zhou Yafu competed with him on the issue of the crown prince, Zhou Yafu quickly fell from the clouds to the bottom, and was finally thrown into Tingwei Prison!

From Chao Cuo to Zhou Yafu, Liu De's cheap father completely violated the Han Dynasty's long-standing tradition of "the general will not humiliate his ministers".

The so-called generals should not disgrace themselves is an unwritten tradition that Jia Yi proposed to the late emperor and became a common practice.

That is to say, ministers at the level of princes, generals and ministers, as long as they do not commit treason or other treasonous crimes, they must give the other party a decent ending.

It is usually what is called a bloodless death.

For example, the famous cavalry general Bo Zhao was the first minister to enjoy this treatment.

However, Chao Cuo and Zhou Yafu, a royal censor and a prime minister who had served as a Taiwei, both had a very close relationship with Liu Qi at one time, but neither of them enjoyed this treatment.

After seeing this clearly, it becomes clear what kind of person Liu Qi is today.

When you are useful to him or when he likes you, he will give you whatever you want, and there will be no objection.

But when you are of no use to him or he is tired of you, be smart and get out.

Therefore, after his rebirth, Liu De's purpose was very clear, which was to let Liu Qi see his value as much as possible.

However, if you want to be a prince, it is not enough to just show your talent and value.

A good man has three gangs, and he must have a relatively powerful force to help him. Otherwise, even if he sits on the throne, he will be kicked out in a few days.

The experience of his previous life told Liu De that his mother's clan simply failed in success and failed in success.

Liu Rong was deposed, half of the responsibility belongs to Su Ji, and half of the responsibility belongs to those uncles who were not worried.

If you don't want to make the same mistake as Liu Rong, the only way is to get out of the pit of Su's relatives.

As for the only person who could help Liu De jump out of the Su family's pit, Liu De thought about it in his previous life and finally found that the only one was Empress Bo.

Queen Bo has no heirs, which is a fatal flaw.

And Liu De himself has a bunch of cheating relatives, which is also a fatal injury.

If it can be passed to Bo's name, then the problems for both parties will be solved.

What is particularly important is that Bo's relatives have been operating in Chang'an for more than 20 years, but there have been few scandals.

Of course, this matter cannot be rushed, and it cannot be brought up by Liu De. Empress Bo must be asked to ask the emperor, and then he will take advantage of the situation.

As for the instability of Queen Bo's throne, Liu De thought it was not worth mentioning.

Thinking about these things, Liu De slowly walked through the corridor and came to the outside of the mourning hall.

He looked around, then bent down, returned to the place where he originally knelt, and knelt down in a formal manner.

"Brother Emperor, where did you go just now?" As soon as Liu De knelt down, a soft voice behind him asked quietly.

Liu De didn't need to look back to know that it was his eighth emperor brother Liu Duan.

Among the eleven brothers, he is the only one with such an accent.

"Nothing, I just went to visit my mother..." Liu De did not look back and whispered: "Brother, don't be distracted, just do your duty with your heart!"

Liu Duan and Liu De's memories are already very vague.

At the beginning of the past life time travel, the relationship between the two was quite good.

However, the opportunities to meet each other became increasingly rare after they were crowned kings, so they gradually lost contact. I just heard that this younger brother had done many outrageous things.

However, Liu De has never disliked this younger brother, nor did he hide from him when he saw him like other brothers.

In fact, Liu De knew that this younger brother was actually a poor man.

Liu Duan was found to have physical disabilities after he was born.

To be precise, it should be that he has an extra organ.

In the 21st century, this can be solved through sex reassignment surgery, but in this BC world, there is no solution.

Therefore, the world often says that poor people must be hateful.
