Liu Tan asked Fu Yu and Cen You to tidy up his clothes. After finding no problems, he got up and followed the Yellow Gate Order all the way to the Weiyang Palace, or rather the rear hall of the Weiyang Palace.
On the way, Liu Tan kept thinking about how to eat more later, or if he was not full, could he have a midnight snack when he got back?
It's a pity that this question cannot be asked to Fu Yu now, otherwise they would wonder why the Fifth Prince was sure that he was not full before he even had his meal.
But soon Liu Tan had no time to think about these things anymore.
As he got closer to the Weiyang Palace, he finally realized that he was finally going to meet the emperor who was famous in history.
Even though Liu Tan's favorite person during the entire Han Dynasty was Huo Qubing, it did not prevent him from feeling nervous and numb in his hands and feet.
This led to Liu Tan walking as lightly as possible when entering the Weiyang Palace.
When he arrived, Liu Ju was already in the Weiyang Palace. It was not known whether he arrived early or had been with Liu Che all the time.
When Liu Tan stepped into the palace, he quickly glanced at the people above him. When he found that Liu Che was looking at Liu Ju and talking at this moment, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Now he felt as if he was in class and his teacher was asking him a question. If possible, he would wish Liu Che would pretend he didn't exist.
However, this is destined to be impossible because he is the protagonist today.
When Liu Tan walked over, he didn't know if it was his illusion, but it seemed that many people were looking at him intentionally or unintentionally. Compared with the people in the Pepper Room, the eyes here seemed sharper.
With his arrival, the conversation between Liu Che and Liu Ju came to an end. Liu Tan stood still below, took a deep breath, bowed to Liu Che and said, "Your son greets the emperor. May your father's joy last forever."
"Tan'er is here." Liu Che's voice was a little lazy. Although his voice was not loud, it carried an aura that could not be ignored.
Liu Tan felt that this should not be his illusion, after all, Liu Che's tone was there.
Liu Tan first glanced at Liu Che. Although he was nervous, he could not suppress his curiosity.
Liu Che sitting on the throne was no longer young. Although Liu Tan was still not sure what year it was, judging from his appearance, Liu Che looked to be at least forty years old.
He is not young in this era, but men of this age can be said to be in their golden age.
Unlike the vagrant youth and the declining energy of old age, Liu Che now exudes a mixture of maturity and confidence. Even if he just sits there quietly, he exudes a charm that cannot be ignored.
Liu Che was not angry at Liu Tan's curious look. He just looked him over briefly and said with a smile, "Come and meet your elder brother."
Liu Ju had just been standing next to Liu Che. After hearing this, he walked straight towards Liu Tan. Compared to Liu Tan's nervousness, he seemed more calm.
Liu Tan immediately wondered if Liu Che was trying to warn him. After all, there was no need to salute anyone else in front of the emperor. Liu Che specifically pointed this out to let the brothers get familiar with each other first, or to warn Liu Tan that no matter what his identity was, Liu Ju was now the crown prince.
Liu Tan was thinking about these things in his mind, and he raised his eyes and looked at Liu Ju openly.
I have to say that Liu Ju looks good, but a little softer, and doesn't seem to have as much presence as Liu Che.
Liu Che's appearance appears very aggressive.
While thinking about this, he bowed in the direction of Liu Ju and said, "Your Highness, I greet the Crown Prince."
Well, even if Liu Che didn't mention it, when everyone knew that he and Liu Ju had a conflict of interest, or that Chen Ajiao and Liu Ju had a conflict of interest, he decided to be polite first.
At least Liu Ju cannot be allowed to find any mistakes in this regard.
Liu Ju walked over very naturally and helped Liu Tanxu up. Then he took Liu Tan's hand and walked up while saying with a smile: "You and I are brothers, why are we so distant?"
Liu Tan did not shake off Liu Ju, but took the opportunity to say: "Your Highness is magnanimous, so I should strictly abide by the rules of ruler and subject."
After hearing this, Liu Ju couldn't help but look at him again. Not to mention him, even Liu Che was a little interested.
Liu Che knew that Liu Tan had gone to see Chen Ajiao first, but he didn't care. He didn't care what Chen Ajiao said to Liu Tan.
If Liu Tan was really affected, then he would be given a fiefdom and sent there. If Liu Tan was more restless, Liu Che would not necessarily want to keep this son.
It is not a joke to say that Liu Che treated his sons other than Liu Ju and Liu Fuling like a stepfather. In fact, I don't know if the Liu family has a bit of a crooked origin from the old rogue, ah, Emperor Gaozu of Han, and they are very indifferent to the sons they don't like so much.
Emperor Gaozu of Han pushed his child out of the car in order to save his own life. In order to establish Liu Che, Liu Che's father first deposed his eldest son Liu Rong. Later, Liu Rong committed crimes and even committed suicide. There was a hint of Emperor Jing's hand in all of this. Not to mention that he killed his son, at least as a father, when Liu Rong was questioned or even neglected, he always turned a blind eye.
Therefore, Liu Che did not have any particularly deep feelings for his other sons, not to mention that Liu Tan was sent away shortly after he was born, so his feelings for him were even more distant.
However, Liu Tan's actions at this time did not show any trace of Chen Ajiao, and even... it was not quite the same as what was written in the secret report on his desk.
In the secret report, Liu Tan was spoiled by nature and had a bad temper. The words used always reminded Liu Che of Chen Ajiao in her childhood.
Liu Che had no doubts at the time, but now he wanted to say a few more words to the child.
So Liu Che asked, "Tan'er, are you used to it after returning to the palace?"
Liu Tan was rather flattered after hearing this. He hadn't expected Liu Che to care about such a trivial matter. He couldn't help but glance at Liu Che quickly and replied cautiously, "Your son... Your son is indeed a little uneasy. Everything that happened today seemed like a dream."
After hearing this, Liu Che smiled and said, "Oh? Have you never thought about returning to the palace one day?"
Liu Tan immediately said, "No... no, they... never told me my true background. Everyone in the mansion also calls me Little Marquis."
Pass the buck, pass the buck, pass the buck quickly.
This way, if he did anything improper, it could be explained. The Li family had never told him that they raised him as a young marquis, so he didn't understand the etiquette of a prince very well.
He didn't do this to trick Li Xi, but he had to do it. And if his guess was correct, Liu Tan should not have contacted the palace in the previous years.
If a child finds out that his parents are not his biological parents and that his biological parents are someone else, he may want to contact his biological parents even if his adoptive parents treat him well.
It has nothing to do with conscience, everyone will have this curiosity.
So it is very strange that Liu Tan has not appeared or even expressed anything for so many years.
After hearing this, Liu Che said lightly: "The Li family deserves death."
Liu Tan's heart skipped a beat, thinking that the punishment for the Li family would not be made even more severe, right?
Although this matter has nothing to do with him, the Li Xi family did conceal his identity, so... it can't be considered that he cheated the Li family, right?
Liu Tan felt guilty for a rare time, especially when facing Liu Che's bright eyes that seemed to reflect his thoughts, he felt even more uneasy.
Liu Ju took Liu Tan's hand and said gently, "Fifth brother, you have suffered a lot over the years."
Liu Tanxin said that he would rather go back and suffer, but he still said: "Thank you for your concern, Prince. Although the Li family deceived me first, they treated me well, so it can't be considered hardship."
Liu Ju was about to say something when he heard a eunuch say, "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince has arrived."
The Sixth Prince, Liu Fuling, son of Gouyi.
When Liu Tan heard this name, he immediately became excited. According to the original history, Liu Fuling should be the fifth son of Emperor Wu of Han. However, with Liu Tan as a butterfly wing, his ranking could only be moved back.
Liu Che's voice was obviously much happier. He raised his chin and said, "Let Fuling come in quickly."
Liu Tan looked towards the door. He was also very interested in the famous Emperor Zhao of Han in history. It was said that Liu Fuling was a puppet emperor, but... could a child who was valued by Emperor Liu Che, even if he was only eight years old, grow up to be a puppet?
You should know that Liu Che was only four years old when he was made the crown prince, and at that time he was already valued by Emperor Jing of Han.
Just as Liu Tan was daydreaming, a small figure gradually appeared, followed by many people. It was obvious that the child in the front was Liu Fuling.
As Liu Fuling got closer, Liu Tan finally saw his appearance clearly.
Although they were born to the same father, Liu Ju and Liu Fuling had very different styles. Oh, Liu Tan was also a little different from them. The three of them had different looks.
Liu Ju looked very weak, and if you had to say, he was the type who was as gentle as jade, but Liu Tan always felt that his eyes were a little neurotic, and he didn't know if it was affected by the title of Prince Li.
The appearance of Liu Tan's body is lively and agile. Because he is still young, his bright face makes him look less masculine, but his eyes as clear as autumn water are enough to make people impressed.
This is also the reason why Liu Tan feels that this time travel is worthwhile.
As for Liu Fuling... Liu Fuling is the cute type, with a chubby head and looks healthy and strong. He is not as good-looking as Liu Ju, let alone Liu Tan, but this type of look is indeed the type that older people would like.
However, from the moment he saw Liu Fuling, Liu Tan gradually realized that something was not right.
This... If he was not mistaken, Liu Fuling looked not much younger than his body.
This means the timeline is wrong!
