Han Shizu

Chapter 1886
Kaibao 26 years, spring.

Luoyang, Ziwei City.

The night was deep, and the Shangyuan imperial banquet had just ended, and the nobles who attended the meeting had not yet dispersed, and the mess in the Qianyuan Hall was still being cleaned up. On the side of the Chuigong Hall, Emperor Liu specially called the royal family together.

The wind in early spring is still cold, and the night is even cooler. The hall is lined up with candles, illuminating the hall brightly. Perhaps because of the Shangyuan Festival, the indoor and outdoor are a little more festive.

In the hall, Emperor Liu sat behind the imperial case in a deep posture, while his sons and grandsons knelt quietly in the hall, even the crown prince Liu Yang.

In addition to the princes and grandsons who live in Beijing, there are a few new faces, especially Qin Wang Liuxu and his son.Probably due to staying in Anton for a long time, Liu Xu and his son are obviously different from other Tian family children. This difference was not very obvious in the past, but today, it is already visible to the naked eye.

Except for Liu Yang, Liu Xi, and Liu Fang, no one else can resist the single-handed and powerful momentum.The father and son sat there with awe-inspiring aura. Although they didn't speak, it was enough to make people dare not look sideways.

Of course, everyone's attention is not on King Qin and his son at the moment, they are all watching Emperor Liu with a curious yet careful look.At the moment when the banquet was over and the guests returned after enjoying themselves, it was obviously unusual for Emperor Liu to summon the princes and grandchildren together alone.

Among the princes, all were present except Wei Wang Liu Min, who was stuck in Anxi, including Liu Ye, Duke of Liang who was arranged to return to Beijing to personally report the situation in Anxi to Emperor Liu, and Emperor Liu's youngest son Liu Yao.

Liu Yao was born of Concubine Zhou Yi. He was born in the 19th year of Kaibao, and he is not yet eight years old. Like his mother, he is loved by Emperor Liu on weekdays.Although he is young, under the influence of the court system, his every move is rigid, and he sits on the soft seat as well as everyone else. Of course, his eyes also look at Emperor Liu.

Another year passed, and Emperor Liu was visibly aged a bit, his beard and hair were still as gray, but his back became more bent, and the back that could no longer be straightened silently spoke of his old age.

Of course, Emperor Liu of this period has already ignored these promises. At least for more than half a year, he has never mentioned his old age.He kept a serious face, and even glanced at his sons indifferently. After a long time, he sighed: "It's rare for you brothers to gather together like this, it's rare..."

When Emperor Liu said this, his eyes were mainly on Qin Wang Liu Xu and Liang Gong Liu Ye. In recent years, among the princes present, they were away all the year round and it was difficult for them to see each other.The other princes haven't been away from Beijing for too long, so they can meet and talk to each other at least.

Hearing Emperor Liu's emotion, Liu Xu seemed to feel it too, and his emotions rose immediately. He got up and bowed to Emperor Liu, and couldn't help sobbing: "Failing to serve His Majesty is an unfilial subject!"

Anyone can see that Liu Xu's behavior is really a bit hypocritical, but Emperor Liu actually showed a touch of emotion, looked at Liu Xu, and said in a melancholy tone: "You are far away from Andong, defending the border for the country. , I can miss it occasionally, I am very relieved. As for the others, let fate!"

When he said this, Emperor Liu subconsciously widened his eyes and stared at Liu Xu, as if he could see the eldest son in front of him more clearly. After all, once upon a time, Emperor Liu still had high expectations for this eldest son, it was just luck. dictates.

No matter how careful Liu Xu was, Emperor Liu always had a sense of indebtedness and high expectations for this eldest son.He used to be annoyed by some of his small actions, but at the same time, he gave Anton to him as a place to prove himself, and the result did not disappoint him. Liu Xu never broke through Emperor Liu's bottom line.

Isn't it normal to hate people who have thoughts about you?Think about how you did it in the first place!For Emperor Liu, fighting for the reserve is by no means a fault, the key is how to fight.

However, in the current state of Emperor Liu, he no longer wants to make troubles in this matter, nor dare to have any other hesitation.In fact, what he wanted to do was to settle the matter thoroughly, with the clearest attitude, to kill all those thoughts that shouldn't be there, and to ensure the normal succession of the throne.

Emperor Liu would never do such a consideration in the past, but now he has to.And this, for Liu Xu, may be another serious injury. After all, there is a difference between hopelessness and total hopelessness.

Thinking of this, Emperor Liu looked at his eldest son with a bit of pity in his cloudy old eyes, and his emotions were extremely complicated.

Liu Xu is not yet forty years old, but there is a little bit of white between the temples on his head, and there are more wrinkles on his face.Qi Wang Liu Yun is only three years younger than Liu Xu, but at this time, comparing them face to face, some people may believe that the two are father and son.The conditions in Anton are harsh after all, and the ten years of hard work have indeed caused some irreversible damage to Liu Xu's body. Emperor Liu himself has a deep understanding of this.

Facing the old father's gaze and feeling the complicated meaning, Liu Xu raised his head, and just as he was about to speak, Emperor Liu turned to Liu Wenyuan who was at the side.Liu Wenyuan is already 22 years old, and his chin is covered with a thick beard. Due to his performance in Anton in the past ten years, as the eldest son of King Qin, Liu Wenyuan has also completely established his status as the heir of Liu Xu's line.

Due to Liu Xu's poor health, he is now assisting Liu Xu in the Anton Mansion to deal with general affairs. Liu Xu put him in the Dudu Mansion's comfort system to train his ability to deal with the issues of Andong's indigenous barbarians.

Not only that, Liu Wenyuan was already married, as Liu Xu wished, married the young lady of Haining Hou Liu Guangyi's family, and even gave birth to Emperor Liu's first great-grandson last year.

Looking at this eldest grandson, Emperor Liu showed a slight smile on his deep face, and said: "My Maxima has grown up, and it looks like your father when he was young!"

After saying that, he looked at the other grandsons. There were not many grandsons present. Except for Liu Wenyuan, there were only two of the prince's family, Liu Wenhai from Liu Xi's family, and Liu Wengong from Liu Fang's family. The other grandsons were not qualified to participate.

Feeling a little emotional and looking around, Emperor Liu lowered his head for a moment, then calmed down, and said in a slow tone: "I will keep my brothers here tonight. My purpose is very simple, to separate the family!"

As soon as this statement came to an end, even those who had guessed it were still shocked and looked at Emperor Liu in amazement.

The few princes in the front row were basically frowning, but the prince Liu Yang looked very calm. After a moment of silence, he cupped his hands and asked, "Please teach me, Your Majesty!"
