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

Chapter 413: Emperor Gao Liu Hong personally teaches Liu Che, and the war between the North and the South begins again

Liu Hong cast a gloomy gaze at Liu Qi's children.

"I abolished your father's throne. How do you feel about that?"

Seven or eight children looked at each other.

Of course, they had resentment in their hearts. They were princes who lived a life of luxury, but now they followed the deposed Emperor Liu Qi to guard the tomb of Emperor Gao in Qianlong Bay.

No one can stand this kind of contrast.

Liu Rong, the eldest son of Liu Qi and also the crown prince, noticed that his younger brothers were looking at him, so he gritted his teeth and bowed.

"The Emperor Gao is like a god, so there is nothing wrong with him. We, the great-grandsons, can only accept his orders."

Liu Hong laughed. It seemed that the child still had complaints.

However, when facing his relatives, if he dares only to express his complaints in a veiled manner, how can he be a good emperor?

"The Emperor Gao was wrong!"

A clear and loud child's voice rang out in the courtyard.

Fatty Lu, who had been pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and looked quite confused.

Who on earth has the guts to question Emperor Gao?

Liu Hong also became interested and looked at the child who was about three or four years old.

The child's face was nervous at first, but he finally mustered up his courage and straightened up.

"Am I wrong? Grandpa Shu Wang is simply as good as heaven and earth compared to my father."

"Deposing my father's throne and choosing the mediocre King of Shu, isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

"Besides, my father is also a good emperor, otherwise people wouldn't honor him with the word Jing!"

Beads of sweat appeared on Liu Rong's forehead and he covered the mouth of his silly brother.

Oh my god, who do you think you are talking to.

The bloodline has been passed down for three generations. Do you really think that Emperor Gao will care about family ties?
If they are not careful, these sons of the deposed emperor will not even be able to guarantee a stable life in the future.

Liu Hong reached out his hand, took the child from Liu Rong, and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... At such a young age, it's great to be able to see this."

"As for what happens next, I will teach you slowly. Many things cannot be judged by appearances."

"A ruler should not only plan for this life, but for all eternity."

The child was confused, but still stared at Liu Hong unconvinced.

Liu Rong looked at his younger brother with such envy and jealousy that his teeth were almost broken.

He must have heard it right!
Emperor Gao trained him to be a king and taught him personally.

Even Emperor Wen Liu Heng, his own son, did not experience such treatment.

When this news spread, there was no doubt that people all over the world would definitely recognize him as the fourth emperor of the Han Dynasty.

As for him, the former crown prince and heir to the deposed emperor, he could only accompany his father Liu Qi to guard the imperial mausoleum for the rest of his life.

"Liu Zhi, you grandstanding bastard, all of this should belong to me."

Liu Rong's eyes were filled with resentment and he clenched his fists tightly.

However, when Liu Hong glanced over, Liu Rong returned to his docile image.

Liu Hong looked at the family tree and found that the child's name was Liu Zhi.

No wonder he was so fond of this great-grandson that he even considered teaching him personally.

Liu Hong laughed a few times, carried Liu Zhi on his shoulders, and walked towards Qianlong City.

Fatty Lu stood up with great effort, his movements were hesitant and he couldn't help complaining.

"Brother, wait for me! Don't you know that I am old and weak, and I walk very slowly?"

Liu Heng had just gotten over the sadness in his heart for a short while when he saw Liu Hong being so affectionate with a child, he was stunned.

Then he smiled with relief, and continued to inspect the people accompanied by his personal entourage.

Liu Chan was just a mediocre king, and he had to balance the internal and external affairs. Liu Heng had to continue to work hard to sort out the opinions of the people and submit them to the court.

"Liu Zhi, who gave you this name?"

Liu Hong patted Liu Zhi's little head. Zhi means pig, and it is rare for the royal family's descendants not to have this vulgar name.

Liu Zhi's eyes flickered for a moment, and he realized that this was Emperor Gao. After hesitating for a while, he spoke the truth.

"Because my mother was of low status, just a lady, the queen herself gave me this name, and my other brothers were also given similar names."

It seems that Liu Qi's queen was a jealous queen, who was afraid that the prince would take her child's place.

Liu Hong understood, but didn't say much.

"Then from today on, you will be called Liu Che! The word Che means being able to summarize the changes of things and have your own conclusions, which implies great wisdom."

When Liu Che heard the new name, his little face was so wide with smiles that he couldn't stop.

"Yeah, from today on, my name is Liu Che!"

Liu Hong touched Liu Che's little head and spoke softly.

"Do you want to be my successor? When you become emperor, whether the Han Dynasty will decline or prosper depends on your decision."

Liu Che's answer was powerful and without hesitation.

"Of course I'll learn it!"

A smile slowly appeared on Liu Hong's face as he hugged little Liu Che.

He would give Liu Che a perfect Han Dynasty, and hoped that Liu Che would not disappoint him.

As the sun gradually set, Fatty Lu gasped for breath and complained non-stop.

Wu Zhu followed Liu Hong silently, his steps steady and exactly the same as sixty years ago.

After Liu Chan returned to Kyoto with the imperial edict from Emperor Gao, the new cabinet, military council, and Han Min Party had already been reorganized.

The government ran smoothly according to the plans of Emperor Wen Liu Heng and Emperor Jing Liu Qi, without any changes from the past.

Liu Chan opened his mouth wide, feeling a little depressed. It seemed that it would be the same whether he was in the court or not.

The aristocratic families who went to the Northern Expedition also gathered their troops, because Liu Chan was the son of Zhan Doudou, and seemed to be unusually well-behaved.

The world was peaceful for five years, until Zhan Doudou passed away, when conflicts rapidly intensified.

Han Cheng, King of Zhao who inherited Han Xin's title and official position, noticed the unusual movements in the north and decisively wrote a letter to the emperor.

He requested to reopen the war between the North and the South, mobilize 200,000 troops from the southern border, put aside the aristocratic families, and create a bright and peaceful world for the fourth emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Not only Hancheng, but also the second generation of military nobles, the third generation, and even the scholars who entered the court, demanded to resume the war.

The defeat of the Han Dynasty was a shame!

Despite unprecedented manpower, material resources, financial resources, and sophisticated military equipment, they were still defeated by a group of country bumpkins from the north.

When Liu Chan saw these memorials, he was at a loss for a moment.

However, he remembered Liu Hong's instructions and let it go, secretly arranging for the censors to collect evidence of the crimes of these pro-war factions.

If we win the battle, everything will be fine, and we will be promoted, given more titles, and have our fiefdom expanded.

If we lose the battle, we might not even be able to keep our fiefdom.

Han Cheng, who was in his forties, also noticed Liu Chan's little tricks. He gritted his teeth and still resolutely started the war.

With the help of his father, he ascended to the imperial court and was awarded the title of King of Zhao.

After a previous defeat, he was dismissed from his position as general.

As time passed, there were no wars to fight, and the military nobles could only become weaker and weaker, and they could not even have a say in the court.

Official positions belong to those who are capable!
You can't even win a battle, how can you have the face to stand shamelessly in the court?

It would be better to return to his fiefdom, live like a pig, and let the scholars have the final say.

This kind of speech became more and more intense in the court, and many nobles with military merit were forced to return to their fiefdoms.

Liu Qi tried every means to weaken the military nobles, but he did not expect that Liu Chan achieved his goal without doing anything.

Liu Chan finally wrote the word "approval" at the military council meeting!
Han Cheng led 200,000 Han troops and rushed northwards. At the same time, the military nobles in the north.

They would almost sell everything they had and try their best to block the gathering point of the aristocratic families' troops, and a steady stream of intelligence would be sent to the court.

In order to expand the fiefdom, the title was both nominal and real.

In this battle, even if they die in battle, the military nobles cannot lose, they must let the world see their worth.
