A thousand-year-old family begins with one fighting against ten thousand.

"That person is Liu Xian, the heir apparent of the King of Wu."

"Liu Xian? That name sounds so familiar. It seems I know him. Your Majesty, just you wait and see, I'll wipe out his entire family..."

"Liu Xian?! Xian'er!"

King Liu Bi of Wu then realized who Liu Heng was referring to.

He's his eldest son!

Just now, Liu Heng seemed to say that his son was killed by the Crown Prince?!

His son was killed!

King Liu Bi of Wu then realized what had happened.

His son is dead!

The Crown Prince killed him!

He was just telling Liu Qi that it was good to kill him!

He even said he would punish his son's entire family!

Deceiving too much!

Liu Heng, the waiter, is going too far!

Just as King Liu Bi of Wu was about to get angry, he looked up and saw the generals with fierce eyes and the god of death Wei Ping with his eyes closed.

Wei Ping seemed to sense that someone was watching him, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes the moment he opened them.

Seeing that it was King Liu Bi of Wu looking at him, he chuckled at Liu Bi and continued to close his eyes to rest.

King Liu Bi of Wu felt as if a bucket of water had been poured over his head. If he raised the banner of rebellion, he would certainly be no match for the court. In the end, his entire clan would suffer at the hands of this god of death.

After all, he was not a descendant of Emperor Gaozu, but merely Liu Bang's nephew.

"Your Majesty was just referring to my heir, Liu Xian?"

King Liu Bi of Wu looked on with hope, wishing that Liu Heng would tell him that it was just someone with the same name, not his son.

"Indeed, King Wu's act of sacrificing his own family for the greater good has greatly pleased me."

Liu Heng patted Liu Bi on the shoulder and returned to his dragon throne.

Liu Bi didn't lose his temper for a moment when he was in a fit of rage, so he was unlikely to lose his temper later.

Liu Bi stared at Liu Heng and his son Liu Qi, his teeth almost grinding to powder.

"My eldest son has slandered Your Majesty, showing no loyalty to the emperor or his father. He deserves to die."

"I thank the Crown Prince for cleaning up my household."

The phrase "clean house" is almost...

"But I beg Your Majesty to consider my old age and the loss of my son, and allow me to take my virtuous son back to Wu for burial."

"I grant your permission!"

Liu Heng waved his dragon robe and readily agreed to this trivial matter.

The matter was about to be resolved peacefully, and the world would remain at peace, but Liu Wu, who could not see clearly, jumped out.

"I will not surrender!"

Liu Bi thought this was arranged by Liu Heng, who wanted to wipe them out completely!

He looked at Liu Heng with a sorrowful and indignant gaze, only to find that Liu Heng also looked puzzled.

"What does Your Majesty want to say?"

Liu Wu stepped forward, smiled at King Liu Bi of Wu, and then said to his father Liu Heng, "The Crown Prince has murdered the heirs of the vassal kings without authorization and sowed discord between the court and the vassal kings. His crime deserves to be punished, Father."

Everyone present was stunned by Liu Wu's words.

Wei Ping opened his eyes and stared at this big idiot.

Doesn't he know what the situation is like now?

The King of Wu was forced to confess his crimes by the emperor!

Even after his son died, he still said it was good that he was killed!

You're jumping out now and saying the Crown Prince is wrong!

Wei Ping glanced at King Wu Liu Bi and Emperor Wen of Han Liu Heng out of the corner of his eye. As expected, King Wu Liu Bi had a look of amusement on his face. His son had been killed by Liu Qi and forced to confess by Liu Heng. He found it very amusing to watch Liu Heng's sons killing each other.

Liu Heng's face was flushed.

He never expected that it would be his own son who jumped out to mock him!

That little bastard actually betrayed him!

"Have you forgotten about your Liang Prince's mansion?!"

"Didn't you hear what I and the King of Wu were just saying?!"

Even the King of Wu agreed that the crown prince deserved to die!

"Father, that is, after all, the heir of the Prince of Wu. If you want to kill him, the court should issue a clear decree and execute him according to the law."

"How can you take matters into your own hands and punish people?"

"Moreover, Father Emperor is a benevolent ruler, and all the people under heaven have benefited from Father Emperor's kindness."

Liu Wu even knew to flatter the emperor while suppressing the crown prince, but his attempt to curry favor backfired.

"Even the Emperor granted amnesty to the whole country many times, and was lenient in punishing the mistakes of the princes. Even the tyrannical Prince of Huainan and the rebellious Prince of Qi were spared by His Majesty."

"Now, the Crown Prince has actually killed the Prince of Wu's heir simply because of a dispute over incantations. Isn't this a disgrace to Father Emperor's benevolence?"

"This is unfilial!"

The more Liu Wu spoke, the darker Liu Heng's face became, and the more interesting the smile of King Liu Bi of Wu became. Watching Liu Heng and his son betray each other and the brothers climb over the wall, this was the most entertaining show he had ever seen in his life.

"The Crown Prince killed the young master in a fit of rage because the young master insulted His Majesty, even knowing that this would earn him a reputation for filial impiety and cruelty. Isn't this the greatest act of filial piety?"

Wei Ping stood up to speak for the Crown Prince. At this point, whatever Liu Heng said would only make Wu King Liu Bi laugh.

"But he can't kill the Prince of Wu, after all, he's a member of the Liu clan. How can he just kill him?"

Liu Wu stubbornly insisted, still oblivious to the atmosphere in Weiyang Palace, and continuing down the path of courting death.

Liu Heng also realized that he couldn't argue with his own foolish son.

"King of Wu, do you think King of Liang is right?"

Sensing Liu Heng's explosive rage, King Liu Bi of Wu had no doubt that if he dared to speak against Liu Heng, he would kill him on the spot.

His son has already done something like this before.

Even with his anger burning fiercely, King Wu Liu Bi forcibly suppressed it, saying, "I thank King Liang for his care for our clan, but Liu Xian should pay the price for being without a ruler and father. Your Highness the Crown Prince did well to kill him!"

"King Liang, did you hear me? Get out of here!"

"Issue a decree: The Prince of Liang has behaved improperly before the Emperor; he is to be immediately sent back to his fiefdom and confined for one month!"

Liu Heng waved his hand, and two guards stepped forward and pulled the Prince of Liang away. Before leaving, the Prince of Liang was still shouting that he was not convinced.

......

The Marquis of Yan's residence.

Wei Ping, Wei Qing, and Wei Yu sat facing each other.

With decades of experience, Wei Ping could tell that Liu Wu's eyes gleamed with a clear sense of foolishness.

Although Liu Wu's actions angered the emperor, they won the support of the entire Liu clan.

Faced with a Crown Prince Liu Qi who was unreasonable and could kill them with a chessboard without any reason, and Prince Liang Liu Wu who would protect the life and death interests of the Liu clan even if it meant going against the emperor, the clan members naturally preferred the latter.

In today's court, the power of the royal family and relatives should not be underestimated.

Even Emperor Wen of Han, Liu Heng, did not dare to directly weaken the power of the vassal states, but instead schemed behind the scenes.

With the help of this force, King Liu Wu of Liang had the confidence to confront Crown Prince Liu Qi head-on in the court.

Is it just that fools are lucky, or are they hiding their true nature too well?

What do you think of the Prince of Liang?

Wei Ping tested his two sons by telling them everything he had seen.

Wei Yu looked at his external brain, his older brother Wei Qing.

"Wei Yu, you go first."

Wei Ping stared at his second son, putting immense pressure on him.

"I think this guy is an idiot. Instead of standing by his own brother, he criticizes his brother from the perspective of an outsider. He's utterly wicked and incredibly stupid."

Sure enough, he shouldn't have had too high expectations of this brat.

"Qing'er, what do you think?"

Wei Qing smiled gently.

"Father, does it matter whether the King of Liang is feigning ignorance or truly ignorant?"

"With Your Majesty's abilities, only Your Majesty can decide who will succeed you in the future."

"However, once the Crown Prince ascends the throne, it is foreseeable that a war sweeping the world will break out!"

"We must prepare early to minimize the losses for the people."

Wei Ping smiled with satisfaction. He was very pleased with Wei Qing's answer. The important thing was never what King Liu Wu of Liang was like, but the essence of the problem.

The Wei family only needs to stand on His Majesty's side and consider the interests of the common people!
