My father, Emperor Wu of Han, requests that Your Majesty be designated as Crown Prince!

"Liu Ju!" In the Weiyang Palace, Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, leaned back on his imperial couch, his dragon eyes, which seemed to see through the ways of the world and the hearts of men, fixed intently on the young figure on the imperial throne. "Please, Your Majesty, address me as Crown Prince!" Liu Ju straightened his body, head held high, his booming voice resounding throughout the Xuan Shi Hall like the morning bell and evening drum. "Why do you plot a rebellion?" Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che's words were as cold as the ice of the deepest hell, devoid of any warmth. "To save myself. To save myself inevitably means offending the root of all evil!" Liu Ju did not flinch, facing directly the great emperor who had single-handedly propelled the Han Empire to its peak. "Please, Your Majesty, abdicate!" Standing behind him, Wei Qing, Huo Guang, Zhao Ponu, and others stepped forward in unison, their voices shaking the heavens. ............
