It wasn't that Liu Wei didn't want to come out, but that Liu Hong was too enthusiastic.
In the past, travel was slow, letters took a long time to arrive, and a lifetime was only enough to love one person!
Thinking about Liu Wei leaving tomorrow, I don't know when we'll see each other again.
Liu Hong knew that his condition fluctuated, and he never knew when he would suddenly pass away!
Whether it's the Hetao region where Liu Wei is located or the northern desert, they are all thousands of miles away from Luoyang.
It would take at least half a month to ride back under the stars.
By then, Liu Hong would have long since died.
Therefore, Liu Hong wanted to keep Liu Wei around a little longer and spend more time talking to him!
Liu Wei also described in detail the customs and culture of the Mobei, Hetao, Hexi, and the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions, which made Liu Hong very excited.
He knew that when Liu's ancestors ordered Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Dou Xian, and others to fight and destroy the Xiongnu, and when Ban Chao, Zhang Qian, and others opened up the Western Regions, it was definitely not for the sake of those raisins in Turpan!
He knew even better that it was impossible to keep Liu Wei in the capital!
That would only bind the Azure Dragon.
In these few days, Liu Hong has gradually come to understand Liu Wei's ambitions.
He had previously assumed that Liu Wei also wanted to vie for the throne.
But tonight, when Liu Wei picked up a pen and drew him a large world map, Liu Hong was already stunned.
Liu Hongcai realized that under the same starry sky, besides women's bellies, there were so many enchanting lands and all kinds of beautiful women!
There's just no way I can get enough sleep!
His son's vision extended to the stars and the sea.
Drinking water from the vast sea, sealing the wolf's lair, inscribing stone on Yanran Mountain, and performing Zen at Guyan are just the most basic operations.
He also planned to conquer Korea, defeat the Cherry Blossom Valley, lash out at Rome, embark on seven voyages to the West, and sweep across the Americas...
Wherever the sun and moon shine, wherever rivers flow, all is Han territory!
Such lofty ambitions filled Liu Hong with both admiration and deep shame.
Therefore, he felt at ease leaving the imperial edict with Liu Wei.
Once the world is in turmoil, he will take the imperial edict to the capital to assist Liu Xie in ascending the throne.
Liu Wei will serve as the regent!
Seeing Liu Hong's unwavering insistence on establishing Liu Xie as emperor, Liu Wei didn't know what to say.
That's fine, now I have a legitimate excuse to lead my troops into the capital.
After Liu Wei agreed to Liu Hong's request, Liu Hong immediately felt a great sense of relief.
When he passes away, Jian Shuo and Empress Dowager Dong will announce the will to the world, and with Liu Wei's army supporting them from the outside, Liu Xie's ascension to the throne will be successful!
What he needed to do next was figure out how to remove this son he didn't like from his position as crown prince!
This plan is absolutely perfect!
This is why Liu Hong, upon learning that Liu Wei was leaving Luoyang, quickly summoned Liu Wei to the palace for a face-to-face meeting.
Liu Wei accepted the imperial edict and granted his request, which greatly pleased Liu Hong.
"My son, I am very pleased that you have promised to assist Xie'er."
"I imagine you are fighting against foreign tribes in the borderlands, which must have incurred their hatred."
"I'll give you another gift!"
Liu Hong waved to Wang Chengen:
"Wang Chengen, bring me the Mo Family Token!"
Mohist Order?
Upon hearing this, Liu Wei was immediately filled with excitement and anticipation.
He heard from Liu Hua that there were Mohist masters hidden in the capital, who did not participate in court struggles but only protected the emperor's personal safety.
Throughout the history of the Han Dynasty, none of the emperors were killed by assassins!
Behind it is a top-notch security force.
"Your Majesty, this...this decree from the Mohist Master, how...?"
Wang Chengen was clearly shocked by Liu Hong's action, which must have made the Mo family token extremely valuable.
"In all the years I've been on the throne, I've only used this method once: to have the Mohists protect my safety."
"I have no idea how to use the talents and techniques of the Mohists. It would be better to give them to my son to expand the territory and carry forward their legacy."
Liu Hong waved his hand, telling him to hurry up!
Wang Chengen then took out a black, antique wooden plaque from a hidden compartment in the imperial study.
The wooden plaque is engraved with a pattern from the pre-Qin period.
"My son, this is the token of the leader of the Mohist school. With it, you can command the reclusive Mohist disciples to serve you."
Liu Hong solemnly handed the wooden plaque to Liu Wei.
"Where are they? How do we summon them?" Liu Wei asked without hesitation, taking the wooden sign.
To him, the Mohists were like engineering talents.
Perhaps they can help realize some modern mechanical devices and objects in my mind, such as the steam engine?
"They travel the world. If you want to summon them, simply make a copy of their token and post it in a prominent place in the city. Once they see it, they will come!"
"It may appear immediately, or it may take three to five months, or it may take a year or two."
Liu Hong said slowly.
When he ascended the throne, he received the Grand Master's Decree from the imperial family, but he only used it once. It took half a year for three Mohist swordsmen to appear.
"Father, don't you have members of the Mohist school around you? Why don't you let them come out and meet us?"
"They only appear when I am in danger or am assassinated; they don't come out at other times."
Is there really such a saying?
Liu Wei joked, "Then let your son..."
Liu Hong hurriedly shook his head: "No, they don't care that you are my son, they will kill you the moment they make a move!"
hiss!
Liu Wei gasped and quickly put away the token.
Liu Hong spoke with Liu Wei for a while, and then arranged for the imperial kitchen to prepare food and wine, saying that the father and son would have a few drinks together.
When Liu Wei asked Wang Chengen, he learned that the imperial kitchen had all the necessary ingredients. On a whim, he said he would cook a few dishes for Liu Hong as a memento!
Everyone was shocked and advised the prince not to go near the kitchen, as this would damage the royal family's reputation if word got out.
Liu Hong then spoke up and asked Liu Wei to cook.
