[Comprehensive] Empress Variations

Liu Yan was casually lying on the recliner, holding a book in front of his eyes, and the book in his hand was getting closer and closer until it completely covered his face.When the sun shines on people, it doesn't look hot.There is still a breeze blowing in the courtyard, which is really comfortable.

Such a posture would be normal if he was in his own mansion, but at this time Liu Yan was in the Quefei Hall of the imperial palace, and he was still in front of the emperor.Seeing Liu Yan's appearance, the others were not surprised.In this imperial palace, who doesn't know that the emperor loves his younger brothers from the same mother extraordinarily.

It hurts so much that even though these few were crowned kings early, they should have gone to their fiefs long ago, but they still stayed in the palace.The emperor has even started to train the descendants of the four of them. On weekdays, the Tai Tuo is very strict with them, and the emperor will call several princes to him from time to time to test them personally.

Liu Jiang's actions made the princes extremely nervous, fearing that they would be inferior to them if they did not do well.Whether it is the eldest sons of the kings or the princes, they are all excellent.However, no matter how good the princes are, they are always princes, not princes.Liu Jiang came from the position of prince. He knew the pressure of this position, so he insisted on not having a prince.

The other emperors more or less had several half-brothers, no matter how much he liked a woman as an emperor, he would always come to another woman again.Today's emperor Liu Jiang is no exception.However, Liu Jiang's half-brother is definitely a taboo topic in court.

The first emperor and the empress dowager died because of Liu Yang, so what Liu Yang got was naturally the support of his brothers from the same mother and other princes.

Like the former emperor, Liu Jiang always has a warm smile on his face, and looks very easy to get along with.Perhaps because of his status as a 'Prince', except for the younger brothers of the same mother, the other princes are obviously somewhat alienated from him, so the relationship is naturally not good.

Even if these princes don't want to spy on the throne, who doesn't want to have a better relationship with the emperor.So he followed Liu Yang's wishes and supported him either explicitly or secretly.

Liu Yang can be regarded as amazingly talented, but he is too conceited.He thought that he could compete with the emperor and the prince with only two years of preparation.They also knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was involved in this.If there is a person who feels that he controls most of Luoyang's troops, what else can't be done?However, all this is just an illusion given to him by the crown prince.

Prince Liu Jiang, without knowing it, has controlled most of Luoyang's troops in his own hands.These ministers even suspected that if the person who forced the palace that day was not Liu Yang, but Liu Jiang, the matter of forcing the palace would have been completed.However, as the crown prince, Liu Jiang is extremely favored by the emperor, and he has no reason to force the palace.

On that day, the big man lost his former emperor, Emperor Guangwu, but it was also the beginning of the current emperor showing his strength.

Liu Jiang, who was the prince at that time, was still able to methodically present the evidence of Liu Yang and others' rebellion despite his grief, and handled the affairs of the court skillfully.Although the method of dealing with those traitors was indeed a bit bloody, the ministers did not refute.

The entire Yin family was punished for the crime of regicide, and all the men of the Yin family were arrested, and the cruelest punishment of lingering was adopted.On the same day, Liu Jiang went to the execution ground to watch the ceremony.He watched Yin Consciousness being executed, even if he was not breathing, he still let the executioner strip off all the flesh and blood from the bones.These flesh and blood were all for wild dogs in the end.

All the female family members of the Yin family, including Yin Lihua, who once favored the harem, were turned into military prostitutes.Even if you don't die, living is definitely not more comfortable than dying.As for those Liu Yang and others who participated in the rebellion, they were demoted to common people by the emperor.The emperor's imperial decree was issued like this, but since that day, no one has seen the shadow of those people...

I thought Liu Jiang would act like this only in anger.It wasn't until they got acquainted for a while that the ministers realized that the emperor's behavior was indeed no longer as gentle as that of the prince.Compared with the former emperor Liu Xiulai, he is much more indifferent, and acts a little ruthlessly.

Every time these ministers wanted to play, Liu Jiang's next decision was relatively gentle.The so-called relaxation is probably the case.After thinking about it, the ministers praised Liu Jiang even more than Liu Xiu.

Liu Jiang's sternness made them a little more afraid of Liu Jiang than when they faced Liu Xiu. Naturally, they would only do their best when doing things, which is for a country.Definitely a good thing.

The change of emperors in the Han Dynasty did not even form any weak period. Under the rule of the new emperor, it became richer and stronger.

"Bai Qin, go and take out my cloak and cover Yan'er a little bit. He is sleeping comfortably now, if he catches a cold when he goes back, he will suffer." Liu Jiang glanced at Liu who was beside him. Yan, he put the memorial in his hand on the table, and looked at Liu Yan with a bit of helplessness, but without any anger.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bai Qin quickly turned around and walked into the room.

Liu Jiang looked at Bai Qin's leaving back and lowered his eyes slightly.Bai Qin was Guo Shengtong's personal maid during his lifetime. Although she was arranged by his father Liu Jiang to be next to Guo Shengtong, her concern for Guo Shengtong could not be faked.

On the day when Liu Yang forced the palace, he didn't see Bai Qin. He thought that Bai Qin met an accident early and died first.Yin Zhi is a person who can do anything for his own purpose, so naturally he won't keep a useless Bai Qin aside to get in the way.In such a scene, with one more person, there may be more surprises.

It was only later that he found out that Bai Qin did not die, but was released by Guo Shengtong to visit her relatives on that day, and she only left when the sun was about to set.There was no possibility that the letter that Bai Qin had sent to Liu Xiu could be delivered to him, but fell into Liu Jiang's hands.

Bai Qin only said in the letter that when she was chatting with Guo Shengtong, she occasionally mentioned their childhood.Guo Shengtong specially gave her a grace to leave the palace.She wanted to leave during the day the next day, but was dismissed by Guo Shengtong with the excuse that she could stay at home for an extra day if she left at night.Bai Qin's hometown is in Luoyang, not too far from the imperial palace.With the escort of a carriage, she will arrive in less than an hour.In the end, Bai Qin followed Guo Shengtong's wishes and left.

In the eyes of others, this might be a coincidence, they would only say that Bai Qin deserved to die.In Liu Jiang's eyes, his mother, Guo Shengtong, probably knew that Liu Yang would force the palace early.Even, she already knew about Yin Consciousness's plan.He knew that on that day, it would be extremely dangerous to be around her.

But, she didn't tell anyone.Obviously as long as she is willing to speak, no matter whether it is the father or him, they will try their best to protect her, but she didn't say anything.Even when she was dying, she could still smile at the corner of her lips without any panic.

Every time she thought about it, she couldn't help but think of the first book his mother gave him.It was a psychology book, and the author she did not know.It's just because the contents of the books that his mother gave him were all written by her in ink bit by bit.Even if the content in it is the most rubbish, he will still read the book that looks like a travelogue but contains Qiankun.

The first page of that book has only one line of words, and now he doesn't know whether it is the original content of the book or his mother's awakening. "To get what you want, you have to do whatever it takes."

Unscrupulous... If the mother is really able to use unscrupulous means, is her own life also included in her schemes?He exchanged his own life for his father to feel more guilty towards them, so that they would have a smoother future.

Such thoughts made Liu Jiang hate himself even more.If he had told his mother all his plans early on, would it have ended differently.He just didn't want his mother to worry, and he never thought that his mother would be even more worried when he knew nothing about it.

However, no matter how smart my mother was, she probably never thought of this ending.Her death did not make her father treat them better, but instead made the founding king abandon the country he had built with his own hands and go with him.

He never thought that there would be such burning emotions under his father's always gentle surface.Before that day, he had always believed that the love of his father for his mother was not reliable at all.Father said that he liked Yin Lihua, but he would abandon her in the end.

Now, he had to admit that his father was sincere to his mother.If it wasn't true, how could it have collapsed at the moment of mother's death regardless of the overall situation.If it wasn't true, how could life and death be with her because of her death?At least, he felt that no matter when his father was, it was impossible for him to kill himself because of Yin Lihua's death.

What he didn't understand or misunderstood that day was completely clear now.He thinks that 'it's time' in his father's mouth is a satire on him.At that time, father Liu Xiu should already have the desire to seek death.He came just in time, just in time to see them both off.

Father Huang said that mother likes travel notes, so she chose travel notes as the final shelter for the two of them, and it was really well-intentioned.After the emperor passed away, it was obvious that he could add an imperial robe to his body, but only his father was unwilling to keep his own body.Just to be able to truly blend with the queen mother.

He thought, even if the queen mother has no feelings for the emperor father, with such a person to accompany her on the road to Huangquan, she will definitely not be lonely.Therefore, he followed his father's wish.

Perhaps, what the father said was at the right time, and he also meant it.Only he, the crown prince, was able to continue the cremation despite everyone's opposition.

……

He can only guess the truth about the father and mother at that time based on what he has investigated.No matter how it is restored, the ending will not change.

Instead of looking back at the past, it is better to do what they explained before they died.The queen mother wanted to protect several brothers, and he kept them in the palace to enjoy the best treatment, which was not much worse than that of the emperor.He is not ashamed of the country entrusted by his father.

Bai Qin came out with a black cloak, and covered Liu Yan carefully.

Liu Jiang looked at Liu Yan who was clearly asleep, and took the travel notes from his face.His gaze softened. The only brothers he recognized were Liu Fu, Liu Kang, Liu Yan, and Liu Yan.As for Liu Yang and the others, they have no second identity other than enemies.

Many ministers thought that he had killed Liu Yang and the others, but in fact they are still alive and well.It's just a different way to work for the big man.Among the shadow guards in the dark, there are logistics personnel who specialize in medicine.They like to develop new drugs most, and they need someone to test them.Liu Yang and the others are the drug testers he sent to those unsung heroes.

Perhaps in the eyes of most people, it is very cruel, but this is only the right that the winner should get.If Liu Yang wins, the five of them will not end well.

Simply, the time is good now.
