Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 297: Liu Ying’s position as the eldest son is shaky. Should he establish the heir apparent or the most capable one?

When Zhang Liang said this, the look in his eyes when he looked at Fan Ruoruo became even more unfriendly.

Isn't it good to be a good lady?

Wealth and glory are all available.

But he still wants to act like a demon.

Even if Liu Hong does not abolish Fan Ruoruo's position as mistress now, he will wait until he becomes king.

After the official rebellion against Emperor Qing and the Fan family, Fan Ruoruo's position as mistress would be abolished.

When Fan Ruoruo heard Zhang Liang's words, it was as if thunder had struck in her mind and her head was buzzing.

He looked at Zhang Liang in disbelief, wanting to say something, but the words just wouldn't come out.

He sat on the ground in a daze, gently covering his head and sobbing.

"No, how could it become like this?"

Zhang Liang sighed and stopped provoking Fan Ruoruo.

Everyone understood that as Fan Ruoruo continued to act up, the only thing waiting for her was imprisonment in the backyard.

Liu Hong, who was in the study room, did not fall asleep after regulating the internal energy in his body.

Hong Zhu handed a cup of warm tea to Liu Hong and served beside him without saying anything else.

"Hong Zhu, do you think it is better for the world to have an emperor or not have one?"

Liu Hong spoke softly, asking Hong Zhu about the doubts that had always been in his mind.

Hong Zhu thought for a while and spoke in a firm tone.

"My Lord! There is no way there is no emperor in the world. It's just that the emperor has changed his title."

"If we change the emperor every few years, the world will fall into conflict again."

Liu Hong looked dimly and nodded slightly.

It does seem to be the case, but you still have to eat your meal bite by bite and not rush.

Hong Zhu stopped talking and the atmosphere became solemn.

Liu Hong gently picked up the palm-sized clothes and was a little dazed for a moment.

This was the clothes of his eldest son Liu Ying.

His appearance can be said to be just in time.

Liu Hong was in his twenties and still had no children, which in the feudal era could be considered late marriage and late childbearing.

The reason why many of his subordinates did not become loyal followers was simply because they were afraid that Liu Hong was infertile.

In this case, even if we conquer the world, who will govern it?
Even if Liu Hong was willing to give up all power and transfer it to an emperor of the opposite sex.

But would Liu Hong's concubines and loyal followers be happy with this? Would the loyal followers of the emperor of a different surname let go of Liu Hong's followers?

There are only so many places! If you don't go down, who will come up?
When this new dynasty comes, there will only be more bloodshed and more violence.

At that time, the eldest son Liu Fei had not appeared yet. Even the Fan family was in a panic, fearing that they would have no heirs, which would lead to the breakdown of the alliance.

After knowing that Fan Ruoruo was pregnant, Liu Ying appeared.

Everyone's hearts calmed down.

The young generals headed by Er Gouzi were smiling all day long and urged Liu Hong to rebel from time to time.

This child filled the last gap in Liu Hong's life and also won Liu Hong's greatest love.

At that time, at the Governor's Mansion in Kyoto, various forces gathered together, including Emperor Qing, the Empress, the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, the Eldest Princess, Fan Xian, Fan Jian, and Chen Pingping, who gradually became enemies.

And Liu Hong's subordinates, including Er Gouzi, Fatty Lu, Shi Chanli, Zhang Liang and other leaders of various factions, also gathered there.

This was Liu Hong's tacit consent.

His eldest son will inherit everything from him with an undisputed status.

It’s a pity that Fan Ruoruo’s mischief has now implicated Liu Ying.

Shi Chanli gently opened the study door and looked at Liu Hong's unfathomable expression, feeling a little dry in the mouth for a moment.

Liu Hong glanced at Shi Chanli.

"Are you advising me to depose the heir and establish a virtuous one? Should I be cautious?"

Shi Chanli nodded heavily. Liu Ying was the eldest son of all of them.

If Fan Ruoruo was abolished, I'm afraid all the forces under Liu Hong would become unstable.

After all, Liu Hong now has only two sons, Liu Ying and Liu Fei.

Liu Fei, born to Cao, had a very low social status. He was now seven or eight years old and had his own ideas.

If they want to get closer, it may be difficult. Liu Fei is naturally close to the Danzhou bandit faction. When he succeeds to the throne, I am afraid that the Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty, the Kyoto faction, and the Andong faction will be suppressed to a great extent.

Liu Hong rubbed his temple tiredly.

"Don't worry! I won't abolish the eldest son so quickly. They are just two children. What can we tell about their future?"

"What's more, the choice of the heir apparent is undisputed, but the choice of the virtuous person may cause great controversy."

Shi Chanli felt slightly relieved when he heard Liu Hong's assurance.

After all, the word "virtuous" is always accompanied by a strong smell of blood, not to mention in the royal family, even in aristocratic families.

What is virtuous?
Being able to do things is virtuous, respecting elders is virtuous, being famous for literature is also virtuous, even fighting on the battlefield is also virtuous!

As Liu Hong had more and more children, there was no one who could control the so-called wise king.

I'm afraid all the princes feel that they have a chance, and the battle for the throne is about to begin.

By then, the political situation will become even more unstable.

Shi Chanli relaxed a lot and smiled with relief.

"Grand Commander, if that's the case, then I'll go and stabilize the forces under my command. After all, Master Liu Ying, a single move can affect the entire body."

Liu Hong nodded, indicating to Shi Chanli that he could spread the news and appease the forces under his command.

A rebellion is imminent.

The most urgent task now is to publicize our revolutionary program to the world.

Instead of arbitrarily deposing Liu Ying and leaving the position of Crown Prince vacant, he would cause his subordinates to become cunning and engage in internal strife.

If Liu Ying was deposed, Cao, who was far away in Wuzhou, would probably have some thoughts. Perhaps her son could also become king?
What's more, keeping Liu Ying around made the aristocratic families think that Liu Hong could compromise and have a lucky mentality.

The resistance won't be that fierce then.

why not!

All in all, Liu Ying was very useful.

It is impossible for Liu Hong to learn from Emperor Qing and rashly prepare to massacre the Eastern Palace. The prince rebelled and the father and son went to war.

Using history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall.

What's more, such a big example is right in front of Liu Hong.

Hong Zhu continued to serve Liu Hong quietly, without saying a word.

If we were to ask who knows Liu Hong best, Hong Zhu would be in the top five.

For some reason, Sang Wen did not fall asleep. Instead, she gently pushed open the door and looked at Liu Hong with her beautiful eyes.

"Sir, abolishing the eldest son is a serious matter, so please be cautious."

Originally, Sang Wen shouldn't have interfered in these matters.

But he was afraid that Fan Ruoruo would completely anger Liu Hong, making him willing to pay a huge price.

Sang Wen felt that he should speak up to dissuade them.

A smile finally appeared on Liu Hong's face, and he spoke with interest.

"What do you think? The ascetic monk Yu Ping said that your child will be an emperor in the future! Don't you really have any thoughts?"

This sentence made Sang Wen lose his mind.

After a long time, a hint of determination appeared on his face.

"My Lord, I don't know what the future holds."

"But if you depose Liu Ying now, who will you give the position to? Will it be the eldest son Liu Fei?"

"I have no prejudice against the Cao family. I just want to ask a question. Can Liu Fei unite all the forces under your command like Liu Ying did, and at the same time be accepted by the aristocratic families?"

After saying these words, Sang Wen became uneasy.

She was a little worried that Liu Hong mistakenly thought that she was afraid that Liu Fei would affect her status after he inherited Liu Hong's position.

Unexpectedly, Liu Hong laughed, and laughed quite happily.

"Sang Wen, of all people, you are the one who sees it most clearly except Zhang Liang."

"I'm afraid that it's because those involved are confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. After all, I am only Liu Ying's adoptive mother, and I don't have my own children."

Sang Wen spoke softly, but there was a hint of resentment in his tone.

Liu Hong felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.

Fan's bold and rough voice came from outside the door.

"Brother, the ascetic monk Yu Ping has arrived."
