I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 43
After coming to Changyi Kingdom for more than two years, Liu He has never left Changyi Kingdom once. He thought that he was enough to hide his strength and bide his time, but unexpectedly, he was still targeted by the King of Guangling.

Liu He only knew the general direction of future history, but he didn't know more details since the history books were annihilated.Among the few words recorded in the history books, how that Liu He ascended to the great position is simply a blur of fog, with only a rough outline.

What's more, with Liu He's arrival in this world, the mist became even more cloudy, and even the already somewhat erratic outlines appeared to be more scattered and free.

Maybe that Liu He was the one who came to rule Chang'an after evading countless treacherous plots; maybe that Liu He was not stupid at all, but just pretended to be crazy to reassure others.

If it's really pretending to be crazy, then the current Liu He is indeed no match for the previous Liu He.

Before becoming the emperor, Liu He could of course be as stupid as the previous Liu He, but what about after becoming the emperor?
After becoming the emperor, Liu He could of course choose to kill Chang'an like his later successors, but in this way, how can this big man change his way of life?
What's more, even if Liu He is obedient, he may not be able to sit safely on the throne.

Take your destiny into your own hands, not pin your hopes on others.

But this is risky.

Thinking of this, Liu He couldn't help but feel a little worried, whether things will happen smoothly two years later.

The experience gained from studying is unreliable. If he wants to understand the current situation, Liu He can only place his hopes on Gong Sui in front of him.

Liu He adjusted his sitting posture to make himself appear more dignified, and then asked Gong Sui: "Gong Qing, you have gotten along well with me in the past two years, and I would like to ask, what should I do in the current situation?" do it?"

Gong Sui stroked his beard with a smile, then tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and said in an irrelevant way: "Your Majesty dares to drink a pot of tea made by His Highness himself."

Liu He was a little anxious, he stood up suddenly, and shouted outside the hall: "Come here, the widow and Lang Zhongling want tea, serve tea!"

"promise."

A few quarters of an hour later, a servant brought the tea and tea sets.

During these few quarters of an hour, Gong Sui talked about him from left to right, talking about what he had seen and heard on the road, and talking about the scenery of Chang'an he had seen.

In short, Gong Sui just didn't answer Liu He's question.

Liu He patiently brewed the tea and brought it to Gong Sui respectfully.

"Your Highness, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face, remember, remember!"

After saying this, Gong Suicai took the tea from Liu He's hand, put it to his mouth and took a few sips, squinting his eyes to savor it carefully.

After a long time, Gong Sui shook his head and said, "Good tea, good tea!"

Gong Sui wiped his mouth eagerly, and then slowly put down the teacup.

"This tea is really wonderful. The old man has forgotten what His Highness asked just now. Can you ask again."

After being told by Gong Sui, Liu He's agitated heart really calmed down a lot.

"Gong Qing, I just want to ask, what should I do in the current situation?"

The question Liu He asked was exactly the same as before, but his tone was more peaceful.

"Then it depends on what His Highness wants?" Gong Sui said pointedly.

"how do I say this?"

"King Guangling wants to ascend the throne, so he naturally regards all Liu clan members who are likely to ascend the throne as thorns in his eyes and flesh. It is shameful and shameful to frame His Highness with witchcraft, but it is not ridiculous."

"So what His Highness wants determines what His Highness will do in the future."

Liu He slowly poured another cup of tea into Gong Sui's cup.

While the heat was rising and the fragrance of tea was overflowing, the scenes of Gong Sui getting along with him in the past flashed in his heart.

Liu He never told Gong Sui what he thought, but he firmly believed that the other party already understood what he thought, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to indulge himself in doing things that seemed to exceed the rules of etiquette.

"Gong Qing must already know what the widow wants, why bother to ask?"

"It's one thing for the officials to know, but it's another thing for His Highness to say it personally."

Gong Sui rarely retreated an inch, and seemed to have made up his mind that he would not answer Liu He's words unless Liu He expressed his thoughts.

Liu He also poured himself a cup of tea, drank the whole cup very rudely, and finally looked directly at Gong Sui's eyes as deep as Aoi's, and said as if he had made up his mind to die: "My widow! I want this world."

In just seven short words, Liu He said each word very resolutely, without the slightest procrastination.

Liu He not only wants the world of this big man, but also wants the world outside of this big man.

Gong Sui nodded with a smile, and said with great satisfaction: "It is indeed important to hide your strength and bide your time, but Your Highness must also know how to confess your feelings at the right time, otherwise it may chill the hearts of those who support you."

"The widow has been taught."

"What your Highness asked me just now is, under the current situation, what should I do next?"

"Exactly."

"Do your best and obey the destiny."

"What is human affairs, what is destiny?"

"Your Highness' destiny is not with His Majesty, but with the Son of Heaven. When the Son of Heaven has no heirs, His Majesty's chance is; if the Son of Heaven has heirs, then His Majesty will naturally miss that great position."

Today, of course, there will be no heirs. This is clearly written in the history books. Although Liu He has done many things that can change history, he can't change this matter.

"I believe that the destiny is not in Chang'an, but in Changyi."

Gong Sui was a little surprised, because Liu He said it so firmly.

"The magistrate is in the heyday of Spring and Autumn, why did His Highness make such a statement?"

Of course, Liu He couldn't tell Gong Sui his secret. After careful consideration, he said, "The county magistrate is weak and sick, and will not get better after many years of care. What's more, the empress Shangguan is still young and has not yet reached the best age to have an offspring."

"If yang is not yang, and yin is not yin, how can there be children."

"The destiny cannot be changed. It's useless for you and me to talk about it, but I want to hear Gong Qing's talk about how this human affairs should be done."

Gong Sui didn't directly answer Liu He's words like before, he reached out and groped in his bosom, and finally took out a wooden tablet.

Gong Sui put the wooden tablet on the table, turned the direction, and gently pushed it in front of Liu He.

Liu He didn't pick it up, but read the content carefully.

On the first row of the wooden tablet is written Emperor Xiaowu, on the second row are the names of the five sons of Emperor Xiaowu, and on the third row are the names of the sons of these five sons.

The names of the dead were lightly tapped with red ink, and the names of the unequaled were tapped with black ink.

In the end, there were not many names left, and the only ones with the highest titles were Changyi King Liu He and Guangling King Liu Xu.

Emperor Xiaowu had six sons in total, from eldest to youngest, they were Liu Ju, Liu Hong, Liu Dan, Liu Xu, Liu Mao and the current son.

Gong Sui waited for Liu He to finish reading, and then started talking on his own.

"The deposed prince Liu Ju was punished for the witchcraft rebellion, and his descendants were scattered and disappeared. He has lost the possibility of ascending the throne."

"Liu Hong died early and had no children, so there is no need to think about having one."

"Yan Wang Liu Dan participated in the rebellion, was suppressed by the Great General Sima, committed suicide in fear of crime, and his descendants have no title, and naturally have nothing to do with the great position."

"Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, is the mother and brother of Liu Dan, the king of Yan. He hates the Great General Sima and can fight a bear."

It also means that if something happens to the county magistrate, only Liu He and Liu Xu are left with the qualifications to take the throne.

"Your Highness, if you were the Great General Sima, who would you choose to succeed him?"

At this moment, Liu He suddenly realized that there was an inevitability behind this accident.

He had read about these things in books, but he hadn't analyzed them in such detail that he almost lost his mind.

Of course, Liu He knew a little more than Gong Sui.

According to legend, the deposed prince has a great-grandson who is still alive, and in the original historical trend, this person replaced him.

But Liu He was not worried, because that person's seniority was lower than his own, and he had to call himself uncle.

As long as he doesn't directly rebel against Liu Dan like Liu Dan, then Huo Guang is unlikely to jump over him.

What's more, Liu He has other ways to make that person "disappear"!
Liu He calmed down his thoughts, and then asked: "This is still destiny, what I want to hear is human affairs."

"In the past two years, Your Highness has done a good job. You can just act as before and wait quietly. If, as Your Highness said, this destiny is in Changyi, it will naturally come."

"But what about King Guangling?"

"King Guangling is nothing to worry about. Like His Highness, he is a bird in a cage. His Highness's opponent has never been King Guangling, but..."

Gong Sui hadn't finished speaking, but Liu He already understood.
