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

The gate of Changle Palace opened and the palace maids hurried to greet them.

Although Liu Ying was not the biological son of Queen Sang Wen, Sang Wen raised Liu Ying single-handedly, and no one in the entire court dared to speak ill of Liu Ying's biological mother.

The three words "Fan Ruoruo", and even the Fan family, are taboo words for the entire Han royal family.

When Sang Wen saw Liu Ying, he showed a hint of surprise.

If she remembered correctly, Liu Ying was attending her uncle Versace's class today, and Liu Ying had always been very close to Versace.

I didn't expect to skip class today.

Thinking of this, Sang Wen frowned slightly.

"Liu Ying, you will be the emperor of Qi in the future. Millions of Qi people will live under your rule. If you neglect your studies, how can you become a wise king in the future?"

"boom……"

Liu Ying knelt on the ground without saying a word and kowtowed three times.

Sang Wen seemed to have sensed something, stood up, and quickly hugged Liu Ying in his arms.

"Did someone tell you something? It's okay. As long as the queen mother is here in the Han Dynasty, no one will dare to attack you."

This is the confidence of Emperor Gao's wife, the ruling empress.

Liu Ying just shook his head and spoke softly.

"Mother, I know everything. My father wanted me to go to Qi State directly to be a vassal, but it was mother who kept holding me back, saying I should wait until I was twelve years old."

"My father is touring the country now and hasn't been back for several years. I'm afraid my mother wants to keep me until I reach adulthood."

Sang Wen didn't say anything, but just hugged Liu Ying with heartache.

This poor child has only enjoyed a few years of peaceful life, and now he is going to Northern Qi?

Sang Wen was only wary of Zhan Doudou, whom he had never met. She was a woman who was good at manipulating power politics and under her governance she had united the four major families of Northern Qi.

Except for the distant King of Han Xiao Zhan, who was also a military aristocrat, the entire Northern Qi followed Zhan Doudou's lead.

If Liu Ying had gone to Northern Qi, I'm afraid not even a bone would be left.

Liu Ying pushed away Sang Wen's warm embrace. Even though he was reluctant, he knew he should go.

What the cabinet chief Zhang Liang said was correct. Some of the remnants of the Qing Kingdom had indeed come to him recently.

As Liu Ying stayed in Kyoto for longer and longer periods of time, many people began to have ideas.

After all, Liu Ying was the eldest son of Emperor Gao.

Emperor Gao first served as the emperor of Qi State, and then formed an alliance with Han State and other vassal states to jointly establish the Han Dynasty.

Liu Ying might be a good choice!
If Liu Ying continued to stay in Kyoto, it would not be good for Liu Heng, Sang Wen, and even the entire Han Dynasty.

As time goes on, ambitious people might stir up political struggles, which would interrupt the hard-earned and gradually improving living standards of the people of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Ying knew all of this clearly.

Liu Ying was only twelve years old at this time, but he still held his head high and spoke in a firm tone.

"You are wrong, mother. Father is wrong, and even the ministers in the court are wrong!"

"I am also a descendant of Emperor Gao. How can I watch the hard-earned situation of the Han Dynasty being destroyed in an instant?"

"What's more, the people of Northern Qi are living in poverty and cannot enjoy the benevolent glory of the Han Dynasty. As their monarch, how can I live a life of luxury in Kyoto?"

Sang Wen was in a daze for a long time.

Her delicate hands straightened Liu Ying's collar and stroked his face, which looked very similar to Liu Hong.

She now knew why she had always liked Liu Ying, and even suppressed the memorials from the court that called for Liu Ying to become a fiefdom many times.

Because the son of Emperor Gao must have the qualities to be Emperor Gao!
"In that case, I won't stop you. This is your responsibility."

Sang Wen suppressed his sadness and his eyes were red.

"But you have to remember, kid, Kyoto will always be your home. If one day you feel that Qi is not a good place, then come back! We won't blame you."

Liu Ying nodded, knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times again, then turned and left.

I'm afraid this departure will be a farewell forever, and we will never see each other again.

But what is different from the past is that this time it was Liu Ying's own choice.

In the cabinet duty room, Zhang Liang was handling government affairs. After seeing the order from Queen Sang Wen, he rarely looked up at the sky.

"Your Majesty... Perhaps my original advice was wrong. Such a kind-hearted prince has to accept an unfair fate."

The white clouds are still floating in the sky, not happy with things, nor sad with themselves.

The decree of the palace and the cabinet was quickly issued to the court.

"The eldest son of Emperor Gao is humble, virtuous, and of good character. Emperor Liu Ying of Qi is allowed to be enfeoffed as a vassal, with a guard of 20,000 men and a reward of 1,000 taels of gold."

The whole court was in turmoil, but soon fell into calm. This was as it should be. General Er Gouzi made several memorials, asking Sang Wen to quickly drive Liu Ying to Qi to be enfeoffed.

He couldn't stand people and things related to Fan Ruoruo.

However, Sang Wen kept suppressing him and refused to let him go, and even severely reprimanded Er Gouzi, wondering if he wanted to follow Fan Ruoruo's path again.

At the beginning, Fan Ruoruo rashly interfered with Liu Hong's power and refused to repent, which caused the hatred of both humans and gods. She was sentenced to death by Emperor Gao with a roll of white silk.

And now you, Ergou, want to interfere in the royal family affairs. This is even more excessive than what Fan Ruoruo did back then.

After hearing these words of rebuke, Ergouzi was very angry. He had selfish motives, but he was also thinking about the Han Dynasty. How could a country have two crown princes?

However, the effect was very significant, and the voices in the court calling for Liu Ying to become a vassal disappeared without a trace.

Now I didn’t expect Queen Sang Wen to change her mind.

The anti-Fan faction was almost overjoyed at the time and were all smiling during court meetings.

Three months later, outside Kyoto, Sang Wen had already prepared 20,000 elite troops from the Han army.

Liu Ying looked at his guards, took a deep breath, and spoke loudly.

"Liu Ying is still young, so I'll have to trouble you guys in the future."

After these people accompany him to Qi, they will become the imperial guards, which will at least ensure that Liu Ying will not be left without any rights.

The guards shouted.

"I am willing to die for your Highness!"

They were not loyal to the Emperor of Qi, but because Liu Ying was the son of Emperor Gao, as long as they did not do anything that would arouse the envy of heaven and the resentment of people.

These soldiers were willing to die for Liu Ying.

Zhang Liang brought all the civil and military officials in the court to see Liu Ying off and also to thank Liu Ying for his vision.

When Liu Ying was about to leave, a voice came from behind him.

"Wait a minute!"

Li Chengqian supported himself on the wheelchair and, with the help of Li Yunrui, he walked out of the line of ministers with a smile.

Liu Ying was stunned. Of course he knew Li Chengqian. He was a rare powerful figure in the court who had a clear favorable impression of him.

The former deposed crown prince of Qing Kingdom, now the head of Junshan Society of the Han Dynasty, monitors the martial arts forces of the world.

He was also the adopted son of Emperor Gao, and was given the name Liu Chang, and the title King of Huaibei, with his fiefdom in the important military town of Shangjing County in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

"Brother, you..."

Liu Ying spoke with a choked voice.

Li Chengqian didn't have to do this! He left Kyoto to serve as a vassal king and had to give up his position as the chairman of Junshan.

Not only that, he had to go to Northern Qi to accompany Liu Ying and face the open and covert attacks from the aristocratic families, and there was almost no chance of survival.

Li Chengqian smiled gently with a firm look in his eyes.

"you're worth it!"

There was something in his heart that he didn't say. Because Liu Ying was the eldest son of Emperor Gao, Li Chengqian had promised Liu Hong that he would share Liu Ying's tragic fate.

Not only Li Chengqian, but also Li Chengze, the Prince of Qing, whose fief was in Nanling County, would also unwaveringly support Liu Ying.

There is also Uncle Versace who is in charge of the household department in Kyoto.

Liu Ying was born with a certain amount of power, which was also a cause of concern for the officials in the court.

World peace is hard-won, and we really cannot allow another bloody storm to break out.

Zhang Liang looked at Li Chengqian, but Li Yunrui didn't say anything.

When Emperor Gaozu was in Danzhou, he handed over power to civil and military officials, which many people disagreed with.

If this is done, wouldn't the emperor lose his power? He could easily become a puppet.

Liu Hong’s response was just disdain. How could the emperor have no rights?

As long as he sits on this position, a large group of people will naturally follow him, because he is the emperor and sits on the unique position in the world.

Now Zhang Liang felt deeply touched.

Liu Ying, the eldest son, who inherited the divided Qi State, was able to gain the support of three leading military nobles, Versace, Li Chengqian and Li Chengze, and mobilize the help of hundreds of thousands of military nobles.

What’s more, he is the Emperor of Han!

Liu Ying sniffed and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He is not alone, his father's grace is still there. (End of this chapter)
