Liu De squinted his eyes and glanced at Liu Fei, noticing that his younger brother was looking at his nose and heart, looking thoughtful.
"It seems that it's not all about muscular development and simple mind..." Liu De joked in his heart.
In fact, even Liu Chang, Li Wang of Huainan, who was recognized as a muscle maniac by the Han Dynasty at that time, survived the terrifying years of Empress Lu's period, and his brain was not as simple as most people think.
But Liu Fei couldn't bear it.
But Liu De couldn't bear it.
Who told him to make such big talk so long ago that he wanted to compete for the position of crown prince?
If he gives up at this critical moment, not to mention others, even the cheap dad will definitely think that he is not useful!
This is the moment you must take a stand!
So Liu De stood up and went out to pay homage: "Father, in my humble opinion, my uncle must not leave Chang'an at this time!"
"Brother's consideration is a little inappropriate..." Liu De stabbed Liu Rong in the back without hesitation and said: "In today's world, storms are coming, and no matter what the emperor thinks, he is still his father after all.
Your brothers and loyal ministers, if you drive them away based on your own whim, your relatives will hate you and your enemies will hate you. My father, the emperor, is wise and will not do this!"
In fact, Liu De knew that this cheap dad had already made up his mind without even thinking about it.
If he hadn't thought clearly, he wouldn't have made any move at all.
The emperor's mind has always been like this.
There is no doubt that in the heart of the cheap daddy, even if all his sons are tied up at this time, they are not as important as Liang Wang Liu Wu!
The son is gone and can be reborn.
Once the throne is gone, everything is over!
There is no doubt about the importance of Liang Wang Liu Wu to the current situation!
It is no exaggeration to say that if Liu Wu wavers, even if he only remains neutral in the future counter-insurgency war, then the central government of the Han Dynasty will have no control over the vast territory from Wu, Chu and Zhao Qi in the south to Hangu Pass.
There is no danger to defend.
Once something like this happens, I'm afraid the rebels will enter Chang'an without any blood, drag out Liu De's family and behead them all.
Therefore, any situation that may cause Liu Wu's dissatisfaction at this time should be nipped in the bud.
This can be seen clearly from the fact that Liu Wu entered the court in the first month of this year, and Cheap Daddy left Chang'an thirty miles away and was greeted by the emperor's car.
After hearing what Liu De said, the emperor still didn't express anything. Instead, he turned to look at Liu Fei and asked: "Liu Fei, what do you think of your brother's words?"
"Back to my father, my son will follow his father's lead. Whatever my father asks his son to do, he will do it!" Liu Fei rolled his eyes and immediately knelt down and said.
"Oh!" The Emperor nodded, stood up, and said, "You go out first, and I will think about it again..."
"No!" Liu Fei thought that his words were appreciated by his father, and he responded happily.
"Hey...I thought Liu Fei had become smarter...I didn't expect that he was still a muscular man..." Liu De looked at Liu Fei's appearance and laughed in his heart.
If he guessed correctly, Cheap Daddy's impression of Liu Fei might have dropped significantly at this moment.
Even Liu Rong wants Liu Fei to have an advantage!
the reason is simple.
After every prince is born, he becomes a political figure in his own right.
On such a big issue of right and wrong, you don't take a stand, but you want to be clever? What do you think of cheap daddy?
In politics, when the signal gun for taking sides is fired, even if the team is on the wrong side, it will be much stronger if the team is not on the same side!

When the Liu De brothers left the palace gate, the emperor ordered the left and right to close the palace door tightly, and then said: "You can come out now!"
A middle-aged man wearing black uniforms and a purple ribbon came out from behind the screen and said, "Your Majesty..."
This person is none other than Zhou Yafu, the son of Zhou Bo, the Marquis of Jiang, who was in charge of the Northern and Southern Forbidden Army and was in charge of the Imperial Palace. Only a general like Zhou Yafu, who controls the Northern and Southern Forbidden Army, the strongest army of the Han Dynasty, is qualified.
Appear here and now.
The Emperor said: "There is no need to be too polite. You are the minister who was appointed by the late emperor to be a solemn minister. You are the pillar of the Han family and the country. In front of me, you should be no different from the rest of the family..."
In fact, the emperor Liu Qi knew very well that a cunning rabbit has three burrows and eggs cannot be put in one basket.
On the one hand, he gave Chao Cuo an important position in the court, so that Chao Cuo's authority was not limited to the scope of the internal history, but also allowed him to participate in national affairs; on the other hand, he handed over all military power to Zhou Yafu, not only
It was limited to the northern and southern imperial troops, and even the armies of Li Guang and Cheng Bushi who were guarding the Great Wall were entrusted to Zhou Yafu's control.
In this way, even if Chao Cuo makes a mistake, with Zhou Yafu's strong support, the army can remain loyal. With military power in hand, even if a hole is dug in the sky, it can still be repaired.
And Zhou Yafu is undoubtedly the emperor's most trusted and trustworthy minister at present.
There is no other reason.
Just two words of kindness!
At that time, Zhou Yafu was just the concubine of Zhou Bo, the Marquis of Jiang. His status in the family was not high and he was just a white man.
After Zhou Yafu's brother Zhou Shengzhi inherited the title of Zhou Bo, he was first defeated miserably in the matter of Princess Shangguantao at the hands of the little-known Tangyi Marquis Chen Wu. Stimulated by this, his temper became so bad that he even killed people in the street and was executed by the court captain.
It is a rule that the title and title of the murderer will be abolished.
It was the late Emperor Taizong Xiaowen who vetoed Tingwei's memorial and selected Zhou Yafu as his heir from Zhou Bo's disciples. With this kindness alone, anyone with a conscience must be loyal to the imperial court.
Furthermore, Zhou Yafu was also the general whom the late emperor entrusted to his father when he was dying. He left an edict saying, "If things are urgent, Zhou Yafu can be used as general."
The late emperor never missed this important event.
Facts have also proved that Zhou Yafu is indeed a good general.
Since he was appointed lieutenant, the training and preparation of the North and South Forbidden Forces have been in order, and the combat capabilities of the army have been greatly improved.
With such achievements, Zhou Yafu's status has naturally risen, and now he can even participate in major national events like this, and even give opinions to the emperor.
As the saying goes, the king treats his ministers as the country's nobles, and the ministers treat their country's nobles as rewards.
Zhou Yafu, who received unprecedented trust and unprecedented importance, naturally regarded the emperor Liu Qi as a wise king and a loyal assistant.
"Have you heard everything clearly just now?" Emperor Liu Qi stood up, looked at Zhou Yafu, and asked solemnly: "In view of Tiaohou, who among my three sons can be regarded as Yao and Shun?"
In front of Zhou Yafu, the emperor seemed to have dropped all precautions and disguises.
"I am a military general and do not understand the major affairs of these countries. But if your Majesty wants to ask my opinion, I believe that since ancient times, the queen has no children, and the eldest son Liu Rong may be able to do it!" After saying this, Zhou Yafu turned his head.
Deep down, he said: "Of course, the second son Liu De also has the appearance of a wise king... I will be the Holy Judge of all Fuwei!"
As for Liu Fei, Zhou Yafu ignored him intentionally or unintentionally.
After listening to Zhou Yafu's words, the emperor waved his hands and said: "Tiaohou will go down first, and I will think about it carefully..."
"I excuse myself!" Zhou Yafu stood up, holding the ribbon, and walked out slowly.
Wait until Zhou Yafu has gone far.
The emperor slowly leaned on the dragon throne. Although Zhou Yafu spoke lightly, he obeyed his orders in everything he said.
But what about actually?
Zhou Yafu has already expressed his stance.
The choice of crown prince must either be based on a direct lineage or a virtuous person.
Moreover, establishing a direct descendant takes precedence over establishing a virtuous person.
Zhou Yafu's words not only represent his personal opinions, but also represent the opinions of the military.
This is something that Emperor Liu Qi must pay attention to!
only……
"I am the emperor!" Liu Qi closed his eyes and said vaguely: "Why do everyone want to point fingers at me?"
But he sighed again after a long time and had to bow to reality!
"Hehe... Isn't it okay that your Majesty bows his head now, and all ministers should obey their duties without fail?'... Compared with Xiaohui, I still have a very easy life..." When Emperor Hui was in power, he wanted to be active.
He stretched his muscles and bones to show the world that he was the emperor, but was directly sprayed back by Prime Minister Cao Shen.
Thinking about Emperor Hui, the emperor felt somewhat more balanced!

It's a little late today, I mainly checked for information~
Well, after listening to everyone’s opinions, I will try to reduce the number of narrations in the future~
Um, I saw someone saying that gold in the Han Dynasty was copper, let me explain.
After reviewing countless information and archaeological documents, it is confirmed that the gold generally referred to in the Han Dynasty was gold.
The most direct evidence is the various penalties that appear many times in Han Code.
For example, the Jinbulu promulgated in the second year of Empress Lu's reign clearly emphasized the provision of a fine of twelve taels of copper and forty taels of gold.
Another example is that the reason why Sima Qian was castrated was that he could not pay the one hundred gold exoneration money. Well, if it was one hundred kilograms of copper, how could he get it together by selling his house and land?
Also, according to archaeological evidence, there were a large number of rich gold mines being mined in China during the Han Dynasty!
So where does all this gold go?
Well, basically they all went underground and made funerary objects. If you don’t believe it, you can look at the tombs of the Han Dynasty that have been excavated. Basically, the richness of funerary objects is the highest in the history, especially the Maoling of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che. History records record the treasures buried with him.
Gold almost filled the entire tomb, so much so that the passageways to the tomb were piled with various treasures, so Huo Guang had to mobilize his army...
There are so many funerary objects in Maoling that tomb robbers can get them without much effort.
During the reigns of Emperor Xuan and Emperor Cheng, there were major cases where Maoling burial objects appeared on the market.
The peasant uprising army at the end of the Western Han Dynasty had no military expenses and even dug up Maoling. As a result, they did not transport away the treasures and wealth in Maoling for three days and three nights, and in the end, most of them were left inside...
