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

Chapter 47 The world is still uncertain
Weiyang Palace.

Changning Palace.

The graceful Li Ji was wearing a silk dress and lying on the couch. Two palace maids on her left and right were holding round fans and gently fanning her in the breeze.

There was also a personal female official beside her, who was massaging her master's legs while happily saying, "Madam, the Prime Minister has replied and sent a tonic!"

"Humph."

Li Ji laughed sweetly and raised her finger to tap the female official's forehead, "You are so sweet!"

Madam, not everyone can use this title.

During the Qin Dynasty, the emperor's wife was called the empress, and concubines were called madam. The Han Dynasty inherited this title and further divided concubines into beauties, good men, eighth sons, seventh sons, etc.

After the current emperor Liu Che ascended the throne, he added ranks such as Jieyushi, Meng'e, and Ronghua above "Beauty".

Generally speaking.

Jieyushi, Meng'e and Ronghua, the three ranks just below the Queen, can be respectfully addressed as "Madam" in today's harem.

And Li Ji.

She is just a 'beauty', not a 'madam'.

She is not the Lady Li in history who could make a city fall in love with her with one glance and a country fall in love with her with another. We have to wait for a few more years for this lady to appear...

The current situation.

It was merely the female official who was flattering her master.

"What do the other two think?" Li Ji pretended to glare at the other party.

The female official knew that her master was pleased with what she heard, so she continued with a smile: "The Grand Chancellor also replied, but he was not as enthusiastic as the Prime Minister. But the Doctor-in-Chief..."

Speaking of which.

The female official suddenly pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "That old man Li Guang actually said that my wife is already five generations younger than him. When I visited him, he ignored me."

"You're really ignorant!"

After hearing this, Li Ji's beautiful face turned cold.

But after a moment, she calmed down and showed a pitiful expression: "Although we are both from the Longxi Li family, they are the legitimate descendants and obviously look down on me, a side branch."

"Oh, that's fine."

"With the help of the Prime Minister and the Grand Secretary, we are able to fight against the Queen's family..."

The head of the Three Dukes is Prime Minister Li Cai.

One of the Nine Ministers, the Grand Chancellor Li Xi.

The Longxi Li clan is huge, and its ancestor can be traced back to Li Xin, a famous general in the Qin Dynasty, and even to Li Zong, a doctor of the Wei State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

For hundreds of years, the Li family has had many descendants, some of whom have held high positions. Even today, there are still capable people in the court.

The two mentioned above are.

However, Li Xi was already far away from the main branch of the Li family, so Li Ji came to him in order to seek an ally.

No matter what.

You can't write two "Li" characters with one stroke. Since we are in the same court, we should stick together for warmth.

Logically, there is another one of the Nine Ministers, Li Guang, the Imperial Physician. It would be the most logical for him to join forces with Li Ji. But unexpectedly, old man Li is very arrogant and looks down on her!

"Humph."

The female official spoke up for her master and said, "The lady is very popular in the harem now, and the prime minister has to treat her with courtesy. The situation is uncertain, and in the future... hehe!"

"There is Li Guang who regrets it!"

Li Ji's almond-shaped eyes were full of smiles as she glanced at her, and it was obvious that she was very satisfied with the blank space left in the sentence "the current situation is uncertain".

At this time.

The female official suddenly waved her hand and dispersed the palace maids serving around.

After everyone left, she leaned close to Li Ji's ear and said, "Madam, the Prime Minister has privately told me that while the favor is strong, you should focus on getting pregnant with a dragon heir!"

"You can take shelter from the Queen's attention for a while!"

Upon hearing this.

Li Ji's gentleness disappeared, and her face was full of coldness again, "That yellow-faced woman in the Pepper Room Palace really needs to be avoided..."

Not long ago, taking advantage of the opportunity when His Majesty was angry with the Queen, Li Ji secretly sent someone to add fuel to the fire and stepped on the Queen.

But the effect is far from satisfactory.

It was not until one day when the general and the cavalry general entered the palace together that Li Ji realized where the turning point was.

In the past, there were two reasons why the queen could be as stable as a rock: one was the crown prince, and the other was the general. But now, there is one more reason: the general of the cavalry! Yes.

It was not until the conquest of the Hexi Corridor and his outstanding military achievements that Huo Qubing became an important figure in the army and even in the court.

In the past, Li Ji regarded him as a young general who was granted a title of nobility at a young age, and was not worth mentioning.

A title is a title, an official position is an official position, and no matter how famous the title of Marquis of Guanjun is, he is just a lieutenant of Plagiarism.

but now……

"Oh, Wei Zifu is so lucky!" When Li Ji said this, her face was full of jealousy and hatred, and her tone was mocking and resentful.

She stroked her belly and said sarcastically, "The reason Wei Zifu was able to overthrow Chen Ajiao was because she gave birth to a son for Your Majesty, wasn't it?"

"I can also give birth, and I can also walk Wei Zifu's path again!"

Li Ji looked outside the palace, with wild fire burning in her eyes. Her sight seemed to cross the space, sweeping across the Pepper Palace and landing on the Crown Prince's Palace.

"As long as there is a royal heir, everything is possible. Who says the queen and the crown prince must be Wei Zifu or Liu Ju?"

"The situation is still uncertain, let's wait and see!"

……

……

At the same time, by the Cangchi Lake.

It was still the pavilion in the lake, but the emperor was no longer accompanied by three great poets, but a middle-aged man in embroidered clothes.

The eunuchs were waiting in the distance.

The curtains blocked the view, so I couldn’t see the scene inside the pavilion clearly, let alone hear the conversation.

"The King of Jiangdu has been imprisoned. The Prime Minister's chief secretary found a large amount of armor, weapons, and forged seals in his palace. The evidence is irrefutable!"

Liu Che leaned back on the soft mat, staring at the lake, without any reaction to the report of the middle-aged man in embroidered clothes behind him.

After watching for a while, the emperor asked in a deep voice, "What did he say to me?"

The middle-aged man clasped his fists and said, "What a ridiculous statement!"

The King of Jiangdu was not like the King of Huainan. The King of Huainan Liu An was distantly related to the emperor, but the King of Jiangdu Liu Jian was the grandson of Emperor Jing and the nephew of Emperor Liu Che.

He couldn't help but ask one more question.

But it was just one sentence!
During the court's attack on Hexi, King Jiangdu Liu Jian took the opportunity to rebel, but was defeated and imprisoned. Since he rebelled and did not repent, he should not blame his uncle for being unkind.

"What crimes did King Jiangdu commit in the past?"

"Your Majesty, when King Yi of Jiangdu passed away and had not yet been buried, Liu Jian summoned more than ten of his father's concubines and committed adultery with them."

When Liu Che heard this, anger flashed in his eyes.

Seeing that His Majesty did not stop, the middle-aged man in embroidered clothes continued to report, his tone unchanged, "Prince Yi's daughter returned home for her father's death, and Liu Jian also committed adultery with her..."

"enough!"

Liu Che suddenly interrupted with a cold voice, "Tell Zhang Tang about this, and tell him that I don't want to see this pig-dog thing again!"

"Yes." The middle-aged man responded calmly.

The emperor stared at the lake in the distance with a gloomy look. After a long while, he suppressed his anger and asked, "What changes have taken place in the capital recently?"

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "The Prime Minister, the Grand Chancellor, and the Imperial Household Minister had contact with the maids in Li Ji's palace."

The emperor tapped his fingers. "Watch."

The middle-aged man silently took note and continued, "The Grand Secretary Dongfang Shuo went to congratulate the Crown Prince on the day he moved to the Crown Prince's Palace, and he and the Crown Prince had a long discussion."

"…Let him go."

"The general selected eight hundred elite soldiers from the army and sent them to the Crown Prince's Palace to form the Crown Prince's Guard."

"It's the same number as I ordered. Don't worry about it."

"Two days ago, the General of the Cavalry also selected a hundred personal soldiers from his command and sent them to the Crown Prince's Palace."

Hear this.

The emperor paused in his quick response, and an angry look appeared on his face, "This idiot, he just threw away the people he had just got!"

"What's his attitude towards the women of marriageable age that I picked for him?"

For once, the middle-aged man in embroidered clothes showed his emotions and said hesitantly, "The general of the cavalry seems to be extremely opposed to marriage and did not allow the matchmaker to come in."

hiss!
The emperor was so angry that he clenched his teeth...
