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

Wu Zhu patted Liu Che on the shoulder, not understanding why Liu Che was so sad.

Liu Che walked out of Emperor Gaozu's mausoleum in a daze.

Emperor Jing Liu Qi, who was guarding the mausoleum, and former crown prince Liu Rong saw Liu Che coming out, opened their mouths but said nothing.

Liu Qi had complicated feelings towards Liu Hong. His grandfather had abolished his throne as emperor, but Liu Qi had heard about Liu Hong's deeds since he was a child and wanted to imitate him in every way.

Liu Rong's eyes flickered and he almost laughed out loud.

Once Emperor Gao died, as long as things were handled properly, his father, Emperor Jing, might not necessarily be restored to the throne, and he, the previous crown prince, could also be reappointed.

Plus, Liu Qi’s health isn’t very good now.

Sooner or later, Liu Rong would become the emperor.

Wu Zhu walked out of the imperial mausoleum with an expressionless face. He had a keen insight into the psychology of Liu Qi and his son, and took out Liu Hong's will.

"According to the will of Emperor Taizu Gao, his great-grandson Liu Che has a broad mind and great ambitions. He is already 21 years old and can be the fourth emperor of the Han Dynasty."

"This is a forged imperial edict. You two are the only ones present. Who knows if you have coerced the Emperor?"

Liu Rong shouted harshly, feeling extremely angry.

Emperor Gao is already dead, why is there still a need to issue a will?

Wu Zhu just glared at Liu Rong and took Liu Che towards Kyoto.

"Someone! Stop these people."

Liu Rong suddenly waved his sleeves, and fifty soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding new muskets rushed out from the vicinity of the imperial mausoleum.

After all, he was once the crown prince, so it's not surprising that he has some loyal fans.

Liu Qi was shocked and angry, and he raised his hand to slap Liu Rong.

"Rebellious son, what are you going to do?"

Liu Rong's eyes were cold and he retreated behind the heavily armored soldiers.

"Father, you are old! You have lost all your spirit. The Emperor Gao was mean to you, but you did not resist at all."

"But I won't. I'm only in my thirties and I still have a lot of time. I will definitely not waste it guarding the tomb."

"You were able to kill your cousin back then, so what if I kill my own brother now?"

Liu Qi was stunned on the spot, and couldn't help feeling sad.

Emperor Gao was right. Even though he was considered a good emperor and was honored by the world with the word "Jing", he broke the political rules of the Han Dynasty and set a bad precedent for the Han family.

Whoever created the figurines has no descendants?

Liu Che's hair stood on end. He wanted to pretend to be nice to Liu Rong so as to calm him down.

A voice came softly from behind.

"Liu Che, go ahead with confidence. You are the successor of Emperor Gao, and I will support you."

Wuzhu looked more serious than ever before. He put down the iron rod in his hand and held two guns in his hands.

Times have changed. Wuzhu followed Liu Hong's advice and used guns instead of iron rods.

Liu Che took a deep breath, held his head high, looked proud, and walked forward.

Liu Rong smiled grimly, revealing his white teeth.

"Since you are seeking death, I can only help you. Kill him!"

"After I become emperor, each of you will be a marquis, with a fief of 5,000 households."

The assassins looked at each other, breathing rapidly, and pressing their fingers lightly on the muskets.

"Bang bang bang..."

The air was filled with smoke. These were fifty heavily-armored soldiers, armed with muskets.

But in just one minute, a big hole appeared on his face and blood gushed out.

Wu Zhu's face was naturally expressionless, with only the two guns in his hands still emitting smoke. There were more than a dozen ammunition packs on the ground.

With the support of computers, it can calculate trajectory aiming, kill with one shot, and quickly reload ammunition.

It's not easy for a robot like him.

Liu Rong suddenly remembered the ancient rumors about the Grand Master, and his whole body trembled.

Liu Che felt much more relaxed and walked towards Qianlong City holding the Emperor Gao's last edict.

As for Liu Rong, this guy should guard Emperor Gao’s tomb for the rest of his life.

"Liu Che, why is it you?"

Liu Rong's resentful voice rang out, accompanied by rustling sounds. Liu Che ignored Liu Rong, as people are different.

The flames started burning, and Liu Rong lit a raging fire on himself.

He would rather burn in fire than live a life of mediocrity and have people forget even his name.

"A real man must be cooked in a nine-cauldron dish even if he cannot eat from it! Liu Che, I did not lose to you, but to the Emperor Gao."

Liu Rong roared with all his strength.

Liu Che finally turned around, took a look, and spoke expressionlessly.

"I underestimated you. You look a bit like my great grandfather. Maybe you will be a good emperor, but I can make the Han Dynasty reach an unprecedented peak."

"That's why Emperor Gao chose me and not you."

When Liu Qi saw the scene of brothers killing each other, his breathing became rapid and he almost fainted.

Wu Zhu followed Liu Che just as he followed Emperor Gaozu. He wanted to see how Liu Che would bring the Han Dynasty to its peak.

After all, the Han Dynasty at that time had the three major inner treasury workshops, the industrial system was constantly developing, the burden on the people was lightened, and capitalists were also being born.

In other words, the aristocratic families became victims.

This is already an unprecedented prosperous era in the world of Joy of Life. How could Liu Che push it to its peak?

When Liu Che walked into the court in Kyoto holding the Emperor Gao's will.

The ministers had no time to welcome the new emperor, but instead burst into tears.

"The Emperor Gao has passed away, and the sky has fallen!"

These ministers who grew up amidst the great achievements of Emperor Gao did not expect that they would not only wait for the fourth emperor of the Han Dynasty, but also wait for the death of Emperor Gao.

When Liu Chan saw the edict, he started coughing violently. When he raised his head, tears were streaming down his face.

"Father..."

Liu Chan shouted loudly, and his voice stopped abruptly, and he rolled down from the ruling throne.

The imperial physician arrived and shook his head at the ministers.

Liu Chan also passed away.

Liu Che looked at the unfamiliar court and the unfamiliar ministers, but suddenly something came to his mind.

"You are the fourth emperor of the Han Dynasty. I will probably be dead by then, and my descendants will basically be around the same age."

"Three or four generations of military nobility cannot affect your power at all."

"Liu Che, you are the most powerful emperor in the Han Dynasty. I don't want you to spend your time enjoying yourself."

"This is why I took you overseas. The world is vast and prosperous. You should establish a dynasty for the Han people that will last through the ages."

When Liu Che saw the chaos in the court, he spoke silently in his heart.

Great grandfather, is this my mission?

The 21-year-old Liu Che ascended the throne and the Han Dynasty was completely unified. In order to preserve the vitality of the dynasty, he did not take action against the feudal lords.

As for the Western Hu, the integration of the Snowland and Northern Barbarians, the so-called million-strong Hu cavalry with bows has not yet stepped into Qianlong Bay.

They were shot into a sieve by the dense artillery fire.

The entire court fell into deathly silence. It was not because of some rebellion in the north, but because some people said that the capitalists were too cruel and the aristocratic families could not stand the oppression.

The court ministers began to form cliques and factions, fell into the dilemma of internal strife, and the national strength began to decline.

The 24-year-old Liu Che had initially gained power and looked down upon this chaos.

At the grand court meeting, he angrily scolded these ministers.

"Are you here to repay the royal family? Is the Han Dynasty's territory very large?"

"Do you know how many countries and populations there are overseas waiting for our Han Dynasty to rule?"

This was the first time that Liu Che made a public statement, shocking his ministers who were engaged in an internal struggle.

Afterwards, Liu Che compiled what he saw and heard when he accompanied Emperor Gao overseas into a book and showed it to the world.

"I want every citizen of the Han Dynasty to own hundreds of cattle and sheep, eat meat every meal, and have servants to serve them."

"Overseas is huge, with all kinds of gold, silver, jewels, and fertile soil, enough for the royal family to enfeoff hundreds of thousands of princes."

Under the emperor's solemn oath, he even swore by Emperor Gao.

The eyes of the people of the world shifted from their own small piece of land to the unknown overseas. (End of this chapter)
