Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 307 Drifting
"The coalition forces suffered such a humiliating defeat in Pengcheng!"

"My father is such a wretch!"

"It seems that I must go to sea to continue the Wu Kingdom!"

Under the wet and salty sea breeze,

Liu Xian made up his mind.

He boarded the ship with the treasures and men he had prepared long ago, and set sail before the imperial army arrived.

No one noticed,

When the sails were blown up and the huge ship slowly moved along the water flow,
A clay jar suddenly appeared, mixed in with the mountains of supplies, making it difficult to distinguish.

In the pottery jar,
He pretended to be He Bo's pufferfish clone who loved freedom and chased the sea.

Adhering to the principle of "helping others for fun",

When He Bo, relying on his identity as the Yellow River God, finally resisted the impact of the Yangtze River's surging torrent and crossed the mighty river to the place where Liu Xian set out,
He deliberately manifested this avatar and then had a heart-to-heart conversation with him.

He Bo asked himself, "Do you want to feel the unfettered freedom of the ocean?"

The pufferfish was filled with courage and said, "I don't want to!"

"Want to go looking for treasure buried overseas?"

The pufferfish struggled hard in the original body's hand, "No!"

"If you want, I can give it to you!"

The pufferfish frantically waved its small fins on both sides of its body, trying to fly up to escape the pressure of the main body, "Fuck you, I don't want it!"

But He Bo's expression remained unchanged. He assumed that since the pufferfish had not yet been able to struggle out of his hands, he had accepted it.

So he took out the hastily made new version of the jar, wiped his shoes with puffer fish, crushed all his bones, and finally stuffed them into the jar.

He Bo stroked the patterns on the pottery jar, feeling the struggle of his clone inside, and his remaining conscience finally moved.

He said apologetically, "I am the best at making jars. I have neither the ability nor the time to study other types of carriers."

"so……"

"I still chose this clay pot as your new home."

The pufferfish rolled around in the jar, denouncing the original body's shamelessness, and made a bold statement:
"I will definitely come back!"

He Bo thought:
If this jar is useless, the invisible constraints will still exist and will definitely be refreshed!

This clone is really not smart and can't even recognize this fact.

Thinking like this,

He secretly threw the jar onto Liu Xian's boat, and then watched it drift away and sink into the end of the sea and sky.

"How long will it take before you can come out?"

Because the clone shares perception with the original body,
So He Bo could "hear" the other person's mumbling after he left.

He Bo just ruthlessly replied, "Let it brew for 180 days!"

The clone then sighed, "It's bitter!"

"I'm afraid I'm going to have to make caviar!"

But having said that,
Now that things have developed to the point where they are now,
I can only accept it calmly.

So both the main body and the clone became quiet, waiting for Liu Xian to arrive at the shore.

do not know either,

Where will the Prince of Han, Wu, drift to when he goes out to sea this time?

It is the East China Sea.
Or Nanyang?

……

"The rebellion in Shandong has been quelled, and the country can resume prosperity."

"Ah Zhu, are you happy about this?"

When everything was settled, King Wu Liu Bi was captured and taken to worship his ancestors.
In Chang'an City,

The emperor held his beloved son in his arms and teased him.

The two-year-old child sat on his father's lap, holding a small wooden sword in his hand, and immediately looked up and said, "Happy!"

Although he is young, he is very intelligent and speaks clearly and eloquently.

"Father defeated the bad guys in the country, so I will defeat the bad guys abroad!"

He suddenly opened his hands excitedly, waving the small wooden sword and making an "ao woo" sound with his mouth.

The emperor laughed, pinched his son's cheek and said, "That's not how a piggy calls itself!"

"What should the piglet be called?" The child looked at his father in confusion.

The emperor then cleared his throat and imitated the call of a wild boar for his son, following the example of Duke Jing of Qi who was willing to be a cow for his son.

He likes hunting.
When the previous emperor was alive, he often took his children to the Shanglin Garden for hunting and playing, so the emperor's imitation was so vivid that the children opened their mouths wide and looked like "How awesome, I admire you so much."

Seeing him like this,
The emperor laughed even more happily.

For this son,

He is very fond of it.

Because the boy was the first son born after he ascended the throne, and his mother had a very auspicious dream of "a red sun falling into her arms" when she gave birth to him, the emperor believed that the boy would have a bright future, and he had high hopes for him, and named him "Che".

Thorough,
Tongye!

The emperor hoped that he could continue the governance achievements of the previous generation and, on this basis, make even greater achievements!

unfortunately,

He was neither his legitimate son nor his eldest son.

This made it difficult for the emperor to implement some of his ideas that were born out of love.

Moreover, with the pacification of the Seven Kingdoms, the voices in the court calling for "establishing a crown prince" became louder.

But in the emperor's heart, he did not really want a crown prince to divide his power.

When he was young,
He wanted to appoint his eldest son as heir, just like his father did.

However, the relationship between him and the empress was not good, and they had not become pregnant after many years of living together, so the emperor gave up this naive idea.

Compared with the "eldest son",
The emperor knew.

To rule a large and thriving country, one needs a capable and wise monarch.

So he examined his many offspring, and finally discovered with sadness that the one with the most outstanding talent was the two-year-old boy in his arms.

Secondly,

It was his eldest illegitimate son.

The rest of his descendants not only have no outstanding talents, but their moral character is also questionable.

This made the emperor doubt himself:
Is it that my seeds are not good enough?

Or is it that the way I educate my children is wrong?

But the throne has been passed down for three generations, and the royal education system has been perfected. The achievements made by the previous two emperors also prove that the Liu family's seed level is not bad.

For this,

The emperor could only attribute everything to the elusive will of heaven, and then wait quietly for his offspring to grow up.

If he could live to see his tenth son reach adulthood,

And by that time, if the latter has not grown up and is still smart and clever, the emperor will not be able to help it and will repeat the story of Zhao Jianzi!

However, the ministers did not agree with the emperor's idea.

The crown prince was appointed.

This is a national event.

How can you procrastinate and hesitate?

The emperor has been on the throne for three years, and most of the disobedient local princes have been cleared out this year.

Why haven’t you appointed a crown prince yet?

Besides, the position of the crown prince has not been determined yet.

On what basis can they gain the honor of "following the dragon"?

Therefore,
In the past few days, the officials in the court always quarreled over this, holding their tablets in their hands and glaring at the emperor in anger.

Even the empress dowager who was recuperating in the harem couldn't help but ask about it.

The emperor responded,

I could only lower my head and let out a sigh.

after all,

The emperor and his ministers jointly govern the court.

How could the emperor's will be so self-willed as to go against the good intentions of his ministers who were pleading for the sake of the country?
But looking at the young child in my arms,

The emperor felt a lot of love in his heart again.

He weighed the fat boy, suddenly lifted him up high, and turned him around twice without caring about his image.

Liu Che was paddling his short legs in the air. He was not frightened by his father's actions. Instead, he burst into laughter.

He even shouted, "I want to ride a big horse!"

"Okay, you can ride it!"

The emperor immediately put the child on his neck and trotted with him through the empty palace.

"Okay!"

"Ride a big horse and fight the Huns!"

"Drive, drive, drive!"

The child waved the small wooden sword in his hand and rode on his father majestically. The sound passed through the palace wall and was heard by Concubine Wang, who happened to have come to ask for an audience with the emperor and wanted to take the child back to feed him and wash him.

She was also favored in the harem.

Concubine Wang, who had given birth to three daughters and one son for the emperor, suddenly realized something.

She retracted her steps, retreated quietly, and began to think about something.
