My life is like walking on thin ice

Chapter 75: How will the Royal Grandmother choose?

According to Empress Dowager Dou, what happened this time seemed to be just a junior member of the old Liu family who did a very stupid thing while drunk.

But in fact, the turmoil caused by this incident is comparable to that of the time when the prince Liu Qi killed the crown prince of Wu with a chessboard, then randomly found a shabby banquet and sent the body back to the state of Wu.

Such major political events can often be felt more intuitively by the people, especially the people of Chang'an.

——Martial law in Chang'an!
——Martial law in the arsenal! !

——Chang'an has a radius of 200 miles, and all cities and villages, large and small, are under curfew! ! !

As for the Ancestral Temple where brothers Liu Rong and Liu Yu were, it was surrounded three times by teams of armored soldiers of the imperial army, with one post every five steps and one sentry every ten steps.

In such a tense and depressing atmosphere, the eyes of the entire Chang'an court once again fell on Shang Guanli's Gu'an Hou Mansion.

Prime Minister~
Come out and take charge of the overall situation~
Big trouble is happening~
...

Unfortunately, the expectations of the government and the public failed to impress Prime Minister Shen Tujia who was "recuperating at home".

Immediately afterwards, news came from the palace that the Empress Dowager, as usual, refused to interfere in the matter, and simply said: My Han family has an emperor living in Weiyang and a queen mother living in Changle.

Prime Minister Shen Tujia stayed behind closed doors, Empress Dowager Bo ignored him, and the focus inside and outside the court gradually returned to the Ancestral Temple.

As things have developed so far, no one can predict what the final outcome will be.

The princes, nobles, nobles, courtiers and officials no longer expect anything else. They only hope that when the situation has new developments, they can respond accordingly as soon as possible.

But under such huge attention, Liu Rong and Liu Yu in the Ancestral Temple were actually a bit annoying...

"Brother, tell me (chew chew);"

"We are just like this (chew chew) in the Ancestral Temple (chew chew), eating in front of (chew chew) the emperor (chew chew)."

"The Supreme Emperor (chew chew) won't think (chew chew) that we are disrespectful, right (chew chew chew)?"

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, eating rice cakes in small bites, Liu Rong couldn't help laughing when he heard his brother Liu Yu's vague words.

——You know how disrespectful you are, but you still don’t know how to restrain yourself?
Although he thought so, Liu Rong did not speak in a hurry. Instead, he chewed slowly and swallowed all the rice cakes in his mouth before saying with a smile: "No."

"On the contrary, it is the descendants who are hungry that makes the Supreme Emperor feel distressed."

"Seeing my two brothers eating so happily, the Supreme Emperor will only be happy to see them."

I thought it was a little inappropriate to do this, but I really couldn't hold back my hunger. After hearing what his elder brother said, even though Liu Yudang believed it, he simply stopped thinking about it and ate the rice cake in his hand.

Not long after, all the rice cakes were eaten, and Liu Rong had already set a quota of "two meals a day, one cake for each meal". Young Master Yuzong felt that he was still not full, but he had to force himself. Divert attention.

"Hey, big brother."

"Are the deposed emperor Liu Gong, the false emperor Liu Hong, and the other sons of Emperor Xiaohui really the blood of my Liu family?"

When asked about this topic just now, Liu Rong stuffed his brother Liu Yi's mouth with food.

After the cake was finished, his brother asked again, but Liu Rong couldn't hide away.

After thinking about it secretly, he felt that there was nothing he couldn't say, so he simply took a deep breath and made up for this silly brother's homework as a descendant of the clan.

"The deposed emperor Liu Gong is the crown prince personally conferred by Emperor Xiaohui;"

"The young emperor Liu Hong is the emperor of the Han Dynasty who was personally supported by the Empress Dowager Lu."

"If these two people are not of my Liu family's blood, that can only mean one thing."

"——Emperor Xiaohui is not of my Liu family's blood; Queen Mother Lu is not my Liu family's wife."

"Lao San said, is this possible?"

Young Master Yu only nodded immediately, and when he came to his senses, he quickly shook his head.

"It's impossible."

"If even Emperor Xiaohui is not of my Liu family's blood, then I'm afraid no one in the world will be my Liu family's descendant."

Hearing this, Liu Rong smiled and nodded, agreeing with his brother's statement.

Emperor Xiaohui Liu Ying was the only legitimate son of Emperor Taizu Liu Bang.

Indeed, as Liu Yi said: If even Xiaohui and Liu Ying were not of the blood of Emperor Taizu Gao, then no one in the world would dare to say that they have the blood of Emperor Taizu Gao.

After answering his younger brother's persistent questions, I thought the topic would end here, but when I saw Young Master Yu, he quickly asked: "Since the sons of the pseudo-emperor Liu Hong and Emperor Xiaohui are also of my Liu family's blood, Then why do the princes and ministers kill all the Lus together, and why do they want to kill them too?"

"Why do you want to tell the outside world that they are all descendants of the Lu family's relatives who caused trouble in the harem and are not of my Liu family's blood?"

This time, Liu Rong was in trouble.

Logically speaking, there were no other people on this occasion, and the person sitting in front of him was his brother from the same mother, so even if Liu Rong spoke openly, there would be no hidden dangers.

But for a moment, Liu Rong really didn’t know where to start...

"The third child is still young." "When you grow up, you will understand."

"——Even if I tell the third child now, the third child will only become more confused."

"Only when you reach that age and figure out the key, the third child can truly be considered an adult."

Young Master Yu was very unconvinced by his eldest brother's response.

"I'm already thirteen..."

"If you look at it among the people, when you reach my age, it's time to find a marriage..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Rongdang became interested and quickly followed his brother's words and changed the subject.

"Lao San, this is~"

"——Young boy Mu Ai?"

"Which lady is so lucky?"

"Tell eldest brother, when this matter is over, eldest brother will go and ask father to grant marriage to the third child!"

Young Master Yu was completely unaware of Liu Rong's little intention to change the topic. He just blushed like a girl who had not left the court.

After teasing the silly brother again, Liu Yu shyly hid in a corner, and the joking smile on Liu Rong's face was gradually replaced by a touch of indifference.

He glanced at the figure of his younger brother Liu Yu from a distance and grinned slightly;
Xuan Ji stood up, walked to the door of the sacrificial hall, and looked at Changle Palace, which was separated from the Imperial Ancestral Temple by a wall, but seemed to be separated by a natural chasm.

"Even if the sky is broken, my great-grandmother will still stand still."

"My father is probably sulking right now."

"Grandma Royal, what decision will you make..."

···
"——Bo Zhaozhijian, are you so scared to retreat from the emperor's grandmother?"

"Did Zhu Lu's stories scare Empress Dowager Dou?"

"Or..."

While he was thinking about it, his younger brother Liu Yu's bored voice sounded again, bringing Liu Rong's scattered thoughts back to his eyes.

"Hey, big brother."

"How long do we two brothers have to stay in this Ancestral Temple?"

"I saw that there were only seven rice cakes in the big brother's arms. Today, the two of us ate four."

"If we can't get out tomorrow, won't my brothers be hungry the day after tomorrow?"

Realizing that at this juncture his brother was still concerned about whether he could have enough to eat, Liu Rong felt bitter but also broke into laughter for no apparent reason.

"It all depends on how long it will take for the Imperial Grandmother to calm down..."

"--What?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gongziyu jumped up from the corner where he was squatting and looked at Liu Rong in shock!

But Liu Rong raised his hand without any trace, made a fist in front of his mouth and coughed twice.

"Cough, cough;"

"Ah~ Well, I mean..."

As he said this, Liu Rong glanced at the Supreme Emperor's god card out of the corner of his eye, and immediately had something to say.

"I mean, the Supreme Emperor will not sit idly by."

"If my two brothers are hungry, the Supreme Emperor will definitely not bear it and show his spirit to bring us food."

Hearing this, Young Master Yu frowned in doubt, squatted in a corner, and secretly became distressed.

"I don't know what kind of food the Supreme Emperor can bring when he appears..."

"What if I don't bring enough food for my two brothers..."

"No - can you eat the food sent by ghosts and gods?"
