The fifth emperor of the Han Dynasty!
This time, the list of immortals came right after, and the first few lines of text immediately excited Liu Bang.
"The fifth emperor of the Han Dynasty? That should be my great-great-grandson, right?"
"It seems the Liu family has good genes. Old Zhu, my descendants are a little bit better than your fourth son."
Liu Bang burst out laughing.
He felt honored that his descendants were on the list.
Furthermore, if future generations could obtain divine rewards, it would be extremely beneficial for the entire Han Dynasty!
"Do you think that the fifth emperor of our Han Dynasty, who made it onto the list of immortal and wise rulers, was a descendant of Ying'er or Ruyi?"
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Liu Bang couldn't hide his joy and asked with a smile.
He paid no heed to the livid face of Lü Zhi behind him.
Empress Lü Zhi had always known that Liu Bang had the idea of deposing Liu Ying and installing Liu Ruyi in his place.
I never expected him to ask that question in public on this occasion.
The meaning of this statement couldn't be clearer.
Who is the descendant of the emperor who made it onto the list of wise rulers? Perhaps that person will become the crown prince!
"Your Majesty, deposing the eldest son in favor of the younger one is unprecedented in history!"
At Lü Zhi's signal, Zhou Chang stepped forward and spoke.
He was not a follower of Empress Lü, but he firmly supported the principle of seniority.
Liu Ying was the eldest son of the legitimate wife. In the eyes of these law-abiding people, as long as Liu Ying did not commit a terrible mistake, he should not be deposed as the eldest son and a younger son should be established in his place!
"Ok?"
Liu Bang noticed Lü Zhi's gaze behind him, and upon hearing Zhou Chang's words, his brows furrowed immediately.
“Zhou Chang, you should know who gave you your current power and status.”
"It is I, not anyone else."
"I am the emperor, and the position of crown prince should be decided by me. When did it become your place to interfere?"
Under normal circumstances, he could get along well with most of the ministers, and it was even okay for him to joke around with them.
But the premise is that these people must not cross his bottom line.
No one may attempt to challenge his absolute authority as emperor, whether it be Zhou Chang or Empress Lü!
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chang immediately lowered his head, but kept glancing at Liu Hou not far away, trying to get him to stand up and dissuade him as well.
But Zhang Liang simply kept his eyes down and didn't utter a single word.
After waiting for a while and seeing that no one else stepped forward to persuade him, Liu Bang was finally satisfied.
"Since the fifth emperor of my Han Dynasty was able to be listed on the list of wise rulers by the immortals, it naturally means that the lineage is doing better. Should I ignore the immortals' guidance and instead gamble on the unknown?"
"If I were to actually do that, I fear I would become a laughingstock for countless people throughout history!"
Having said that, he didn't even glance at Lü Zhi's ashen face, and instead continued to look at the sky.
Although it may not be possible to tell from their names which of the two they are descendants, the immortal will definitely provide a detailed account in the following section.
At that time, the matter that had troubled him for so long will finally have an answer!
But when he looked up and saw the words on the sky, he was completely stunned.
If you were to say that something unexpected happened to the Han Dynasty, and that the fifth emperor was my great-grandson, or even my grandson, I could understand.
But how could it be him?!
Is the immortal perhaps joking with me?
[Top Ten Wise Rulers in History]
Eighth: The fifth emperor of the Han Dynasty.
He quietly seized power, worked diligently to govern, was kind and frugal, and allowed the people to rest and recuperate. Among the three dynasties, Emperor Wen of Han was the foremost!
Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty, Liu Heng!
Only when the complete characters appeared in the sky did the subsequent emperors chuckle in unison.
In fact, most of them knew about the Han Dynasty's affair.
Everyone kept quiet, actually wanting to see Liu Bang's bewildered expression when the immortals took stock.
After all, no one doubts whether Emperor Wen of Han can be listed among the wise rulers.
The only suspense is where they will rank.
The sky curtain knows what they want to see.
After the handwriting appeared, Liu Bang appeared on the screen looking completely bewildered.
Even now, he still hasn't figured it out.
Why was the fifth emperor of the Han Dynasty his son?
And it was Liu Heng, who had the least presence!
"My dear friends, what do you think?"
Liu Bang couldn't understand how things had turned out this way, no matter how hard he tried.
what is this?
He was still wondering which of Liu Ying and Liu Ruyi was the descendant, but who would have thought that you would bring Liu Heng?
Seeing Liu Bang's bewildered expression, the officials below were even more bewildered than he was.
Everyone thought that the next crown prince would be either Liu Ying or Liu Ruyi.
Then, during the reign of the fifth emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Heng suddenly appeared.
"Could it be, like the previous one, that he was sent to quell a rebellion in accordance with the will of Heaven?"
That's all they could guess.
The first emperor of the Han Dynasty was Liu Bang.
The second person on the list is either Liu Ying or Liu Ruyi.
The third person is the son of one of them, and the fourth person and so on, or perhaps a brother.
If nothing unexpected happens, this is how it should be passed down.
However, the fifth person became Liu Bang's fourth son, Liu Heng.
If you say there's nothing fishy going on here, probably no one would believe it!
Upon hearing the ministers whisper the words "Fengtian Jingnan," Liu Bang's gaze toward the harem turned somewhat cold.
If he truly harbors malicious intentions, then even if he is a wise ruler, he would have to think carefully about how to deal with his four sons.
"Emperor Gaozu of Han, there's no doubt about it, the problem really does lie in your own harem."
"However, Emperor Wen of Han did not harbor any malicious intentions. At least at the beginning, he was simply forced into the position."
“After all, by then, he will be your only son.”
Zhao Kuangyin felt a sense of shared misfortune towards Liu Bang.
After all, he failed to reclaim the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun, and Liu Bang also suffered the Siege of Baideng, which was quite embarrassing for everyone.
As a fellow member of the "cowardly group," he chose to give Liu Bang a slight hint.
If Liu Bang continues to make wild guesses, he may impulsively do something irreversible.
"My harem?"
"Was Liu Heng forced into this position?"
Liu Bang was no fool.
On the contrary, he was very intelligent and grasped things almost instantly.
From these few words, he guessed most of the truth.
The problem lies in the inner palace, and the only one in the inner palace who has the power to influence the court and the succession of the throne is Empress Lü Zhi!
"Lu Zhi, you'd better think carefully about how you're going to explain this to me before the immortals finish their inventory."
Upon hearing this, Lü Zhi, who had been furious because Liu Bang wanted to change the crown prince, felt her heart sink.
Liu Bang respected her greatly and rarely spoke to her in that tone.
But once he uses this tone, it means that the matter is very serious and that he is really angry.
Even if the emperor is angry, it may not result in the deaths of millions, but killing Lü Zhi alone, or rather wiping out her Lü clan, is not a big deal!
But now she didn't know why, and didn't know how to explain, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say it.
"Your Majesty, the matter has not yet occurred, and I do not know why. Perhaps we should observe the situation first?"
