He knew that his father didn't like him making many friends, and he also knew that his father felt... that he was not like himself.
Qin
Liu Ji sat casually on the floor of the Xianyang Palace. "Is my grandson, who knows how many generations ago, also using this to monitor his own son?"
The prince made friends with many guests.
These few words say a lot.
Liu Ji turned to look at Ying Zheng and asked with a burning gaze, "Your Majesty, have you ever monitored Prince Fusu?"
Upon hearing this, Fusu looked up at Liu Ji, but his mood remained calm and he continued to deal with the bamboo slips in front of him.
After this period of blows, his psychological endurance has become much stronger.
Although paper production has begun, there are problems such as serious ink leakage, so it still needs to be optimized, and promotion also takes time, so bamboo slips are still used for the time being. According to their progress, in three days they can gradually replace bamboo slips with paper they make themselves.
Before Ying Zheng could say anything, the ministers below looked at Liu Ji as if he were a fool.
Does His Majesty need it?
Ying Zheng naturally wouldn't answer Liu Ji's boring question. Liu Ji didn't get discouraged when he didn't get an answer. He just sighed silently, "As expected, people are so different from each other."
"If a minister of low status only socializes with guests, others will say he is scheming and wants to use this opportunity to get to know the powerful. If he is of high status, he will be even more in the emperor's eyes, and he will worry that you court officials will unite to cause trouble. What's more, he is the crown prince. If the crown prince has close contact with court officials, the biggest possibility is that he is plotting a rebellion.
Therefore, it was not good for the crown princes of all dynasties to be close to the ministers, and it was even worse if they were too close.
Moreover, Liu Che was a very suspicious emperor. I really don't believe that he did this to Liu Ju simply out of doting on his son without any intention of monitoring him. Of course, this is just my own conspiracy theory, and whether it is true or not is beyond my knowledge."
Liu Ju immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness and love to make friends, but I have no intention of rebelling."
Liu Che felt embarrassed by what Zhou Jia said and raised his hand, "Get up, I know your temper, don't worry."
When Liu Ju heard the words "I know your temper", his eyes darkened.
"Thank you, Father."
He stood aside silently, looking depressed.
My father still feels that he is not like him.
"Liu Ju, Fusu, and Zhu Biao actually have some similarities. Their fathers were all powerful rulers with domineering personalities and an air of egocentrism, but their sons were all kind and benevolent. The difference is that Liu Ju and Fusu's paths were somewhat tortuous, while Zhu Biao was Zhu Yuanzhang's blatant favorite.
Fusu made the emperor mad because of his kindness, and Liu Ju made Liu Che dislike him because he was too lenient, unlike Liu Che. Later, as Liu Che had more and more sons, Wei Zifu grew older and her favor for him declined. Both mother and son felt uneasy for a long time.
One day, Liu Che called Wei Qing over and tactfully told him that he had no major objection to the benevolence of Crown Prince Liu Ju. After all, the Han Dynasty did need a benevolent monarch to recuperate. Wei Qing then personally conveyed his words to Wei Zifu and the crown prince.
Here, Wei Qing basically acts as a messenger and a reassurance.
Moreover, Liu Che was a strict law-abiding man, while Liu Ju was magnanimous but stubborn in some matters. He would redress things that he thought were harsh. Wei Zifu would be worried, because after all, her son and husband had conflicting political views. She was afraid that Liu Ju would anger Liu Che. At this time, Liu Che did not care much about these things and thought that Wei Zifu was overthinking it.
But was Wei Zifu really overthinking it? It is said that the former dynasty and the harem are closely related. Wei Zifu's favor made Wei Qing and Huo Qubing come into the eyes of Liu Che, and their subsequent achievements invisibly made Wei Zifu's position as empress and Liu Ju's position as crown prince more stable.
No matter how outrageous Liu Che was, he couldn't just dismiss Wei Zifu like he dismissed Chen Ajiao. This was based on the assumption that Wei Zifu was still favored and that Wei Qing and Huo Qubing had made contributions to the previous dynasty. But, what if this balance was broken?
What Zhou Jia said was extremely terrifying. The balance was broken, which meant that either Wei Zifu would completely lose favor, or Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's military achievements would no longer protect Wei Zifu. The possible reasons for this phenomenon were either that she had committed treason, or that Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were no longer around and the emperor began to settle accounts.
No matter which outcome it is, it is not something they can bear easily.
There was dead silence in the Weiyang Palace.
Since Liu Ju’s words came first in the video, Liu Che’s first reaction was rebellion, but...Wei Qing and Huo Qubing rebelled?
It sounds too unbelievable.
"Your Majesty, I am completely loyal to the Han Dynasty and Your Majesty, and I have absolutely no second thoughts!"
Wei Qing and Huo Qubing quickly expressed their loyalty.
Logically speaking, someone should come to take advantage of the situation at this time, but the court officials all knew how much Liu Che cherished these two people. If it was true, it would be fine, but if it was false, the emperor would definitely remember them. It would be better to wait until Zhou Jia finished speaking and confirmed it before doing anything else.
It's always right to be prudent and protect yourself.
Liu Che smiled and helped the two men up. "Alright, I know your loyalty very well. Let's continue watching."
"promise."
Wei Qing and Huo Qubing looked at each other and said nothing more.
They were sure that they could not rebel, and they would not ignore it if the prince rebelled. But it still happened, and the biggest possibility... was that both of them were gone.
"As I said, Liu Che was harsh in his laws, while Liu Ju was lenient. So those harsh-minded people in the court ganged up on the Crown Prince. On the one hand, the Crown Prince's actions were too different from theirs. If Liu Ju ascended the throne, he would definitely take action against them. On the other hand, Liu Che's favor towards Wei Qing and Huo Qubing was too great. There were already many people in the court who were jealous of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. Naturally, their dissatisfaction was also implicated on Liu Ju, who had the blood of the Wei family.
