My father is Emperor Wu of Han, how can I be different from him?

Chapter 44 Deliberate
Leave the palace.

Ordered the prince to move out of Weiyang Palace.

The eunuch was puzzled about this issue, and when the queen learned about it, she was not only puzzled, she also opposed it.

"Your Majesty, isn't it too early for my son to leave the palace now?"

Jiaofang Hall.

Wei Zifu said to her husband with a worried look on her face, "According to the rules, the crown prince should move out of Weiyang only after he reaches adulthood. He is still too young."

"Not too young!"

Liu Che, who was originally pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, said bluntly: "When I was his age, I was determined to defeat the Xiongnu. Am I too young?"

I don’t know if it was because of the irritability caused by the busy government affairs, but the emperor’s tone was a little high and a little unfriendly at this time.

He turned over and sat up, "Queen, please don't treat him as a child forever."

"He is the crown prince, the heir to the throne!"

'You can see why I sent him to Hexi and guess that I want to check and balance the general, which means that the prince has grown up! '

Liu Che did not say the last sentence to Wei Zifu.

He snorted coldly.

Just then he continued, "As for the rules you mentioned, I have been in office for more than ten years, and I have changed few rules, right?"

Empress Wei Zifu has always been known for her weak character, but sometimes, when she gets tough, she can also have an indescribable tenacity.

In the past, if the emperor had said something harsh, she would most likely not have retorted.

Available today.

Females are weak, but mothers are strong.

The emperor paced back and forth in the palace, while the queen sat on the couch without moving. She lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty said that the prince has made great contributions and should be rewarded. Letting him leave the palace early is a reward?"

“Isn’t it!?”

Liu Che heard the doubt and suddenly raised his voice.

"The prince was able to go on a diplomatic mission to Hexi and talk with the Xiongnu without changing his expression. He defeated the enemy with his wits and strategies. He has shown his potential!"

"Let him do it on his own from now on!"

"Go and see those treacherous ministers, treacherous ministers, and loyal ministers in the court. What can he achieve if he is kept in the harem among eunuchs and women?!"

When it comes to raising children, or cultivating a crown prince, the emperor has his own ideas and does not allow others to interfere...

This end.

Liu Che flicked his sleeves and walked straight out of the hall.

The palace maids along the way had tense expressions on their faces. They all knelt down to greet him, not daring to breathe.

Shortly after the emperor left, Liu Ju, who had received the notification in the back hall, hurried over. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Wei Zifu sitting there silently.

Liu Ju slowed down his pace and smiled softly, "I already know what's going on. I'll leave the palace if I want to. Mother, don't worry."

Hear sounds.

Wei Zifu raised her eyes, pulled Liu Ju closer, and forced a smile, "Mother, don't worry..."

Finish this sentence.

She lowered her voice and said uneasily, "It's just that you have a younger brother now. If you leave the palace early, it will easily cause estrangement between you and your father."

Are the Queen’s worries justified?
Absolutely!
When she was in the Weiyang Palace, she would see her father every day, but once she left the palace, she had to greet him and pay her respects when she came to see him next time.

My son, my son.

By then, the attribute of 'minister' will overwhelm that of 'son'.

In addition, the emperor now has more than one son, and over time, emotional estrangement is inevitable.

But so be it.

There is nothing perfect in the world. Once you leave the palace and gain autonomy, you will inevitably lose something.

As Liu Ju said before:
Just leave the palace, what a blessing!
When he first heard the news, he was indeed a little surprised. He was living well in Weiyang Palace, so why would he move?

After hearing the retelling of the previous argument, Liu Ju understood.

The emperor father wants jade to be made into something useful without carving!
To be honest, if you think about it carefully, it’s not a bad thing. On the contrary, it seems to be exactly what Liu Ju wants?

He had too many things to do in Weiyang Palace...

Of course.

I couldn't tell the Queen what I was thinking, so I could only comfort her with gentle words and ask her to believe me...

In the next half month.

The two most eye-catching events in Chang'an City were the court's expansion into Hexi and the prince's departure from Weiyang.

Many officials in the court had speculations about this.

The prince had just returned from Hexi, and His Majesty ordered him to live in the prince's palace. What does this mean? People in high positions had heard the news from the palace, such as Zhuang Qingzhai, who were not panicked at all and were secretly excited!
Those in lower positions can only guess.

For example, a certain Xiongnu boy who had just been taken in by the prince and was raising horses...

Those who were close relatives and held high positions went directly to the palace to ask questions, and Huo Qubing and Wei Qing came together.

Liu Ju was not as gentle to them as he was to his mother.

He patted his chest, looked very proud, and said something like, "Uncle, cousin, don't worry, I'm going to the Crown Prince's Palace, and it will be my territory from now on!"

"What a good thing it is to keep one's word!"

After being confused by his behavior and listening to Wei Zifu's explanation, she knew that His Majesty did reward him for his merits, it was just that the emperor's way of rewarding his sons was slightly different.

Huo Qubing didn't quite understand, but he didn't care. He also made an agreement with Liu Ju to go to his cousin's territory to eat in the future.

And Wei Qing.

Most of them can understand it, but they didn't point it out...

Those who were close to me and had high status in Chang'an had already come to ask about my affairs, and those who were not too far away, such as my uncle Gongsun He, had also expressed their concern.

Liu Ju originally thought that this was the end.

Never thought about it.

At the beginning of July, the day he officially went to the Prince's Palace, his sister and brother-in-law returned to Chang'an.

Who is Liu Ju's sister?
Princess Wei Chang!

If Liu Ju, the emperor's eldest son, was responsible for stabilizing the imperial power, then Princess Wei Chang, the emperor's first child.

This dispelled the rumor that the emperor was incompetent!

The appearance of Princess Wei Chang proved that it was not the emperor who was incompetent, but the Empress Chen Ajiao who was incompetent...

Liu Ju's sister got married early and mostly lived in her fiefdom. This time she came to the capital to congratulate her brother on the establishment of his government and to visit the queen.

The mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they couldn't help but shed tears.

The prince was having an awkward conversation with his brother-in-law outside...

His brother-in-law was Cao Xiang, Marquis of Pingyang.

One of the protagonists in Xiao Gui Cao Sui, a descendant of Cao Shen. He was also the one who decided to kill the King of Huainan and spoke on behalf of the nobles.

Look at this resume.

He was definitely the same old official as the Crown Prince's Tutor Zhuang Qingzhai. It was useless to get close to such a person, so Liu Ju's efforts were not in vain.

Fortunately, the two didn't chat awkwardly for too long, and Princess Wei Chang took the queen's hand and walked out of the palace.

Both of them had red eyes, obviously they had been crying.

"Please stay, mother."

He stopped Wei Zifu's move to see him off and left the hall with Cao Xiang and Liu Ju.

Soon after coming out, the princess looked at her husband. Cao Xiang immediately understood, smiled, clasped his fists towards Liu Ju, and then went ahead.

When the brother and sister were the only ones left in the corridor, they should have said something, but instead they became oddly quiet.

See this.

Liu Ju had no choice but to take the initiative to bow and ask: "Sister, do you have any advice?"

The princess looked at him intently for a long time before she said softly, "It's been a long time since we last met, brother, you have really grown up."

amount.

It seems a little strange.

But Liu Ju didn't spend much time with his sister, so it was unrealistic to expect them to have a deep sibling relationship right from the start.

The princess actually didn't care about this. She turned her head and looked at the palace wall in the distance, and said in a cold tone:

"There are some things I shouldn't say, and my mother doesn't want me to say them either."

"But the struggle in the palace has always been cruel. A mother is honored by her son. If you and mother suffer together, we will suffer together. I don't want to see my mother sad."

Hear this.

Liu Ju raised his eyebrows, "Sister, please be clear."

"A few days ago, Father and Mother had an argument, did you know that?"

"know."

The eldest princess said faintly, "I heard from my mother that my father must have had that quarrel on purpose!"

"The reason, because of you, because of other things, I don't know."

"Come and see..."

After saying this, the eldest princess swung her skirt and turned and left.
