"Whew~"

"It's all 'playing tactics'······"

Walking out of the Guangming Hall with a gloomy face, walking aimlessly on Artemisia Street outside the north palace wall of Weiyang Palace, Liu Sheng's heart has been wrapped in layers of thick ice.

- The position of the crown prince, does Liu Sheng want it?

To be honest, no one, especially a Chinese man, can remain calm in front of the words 'Ninety-Five Supreme'.

Once upon a time, Liu Shengzi also thought about whether to fight hard and strive to sit on the position of the prince of the legendary 'Mu Xiu Yu Lin'.

But as he grew older and his understanding of this era became more profound, Liu Sheng quickly dispelled this naïve idea.

Because in this era, the first thing the prince needs to have is not ability, city, but background.

To put it bluntly, in this era, as long as your mother is the queen and you are the first son born to the queen, then from the moment you are born, you are the prince who cannot be shaken!

This is the son who is more precious than the mother;

Or, if your mother is not the empress, but the empress happens to have failed to give birth to a son, and you happen to be the oldest of your emperor's father's sons, you can also become a crown prince, and thus make your mother an empress.

This is the mother's daughter's preciousness.

To put it more bluntly, the sentence 'there is a grandson, but there is no grandson' is the primogeniture inheritance system that has been strictly adhered to from generation to generation in this era, from princes and generals to ordinary people.

And Liu Sheng's identity as the ninth oldest among the princes has already made Liu Sheng lose his qualification to compete for the position of prince before he was born.

In the current situation, there is only one possibility for Liu Sheng to sit on the throne of the crown prince.

——The eight elder brothers in front of Liu Sheng all died of 'natural causes' without exception, and Liu Sheng was replaced in order to become the eldest son of Liu Qi, the son of heaven;

In addition, the queen has no children, and Liu Qi has no eldest son, so Liu Sheng can sit on the throne of the crown prince as the eldest son in accordance with the rule of 'no heir'.

After realizing this, Liu Sheng never had any thoughts that he shouldn't have, but put all his attention on his mother: Mrs. Jia.

As for his future, Liu Sheng has long figured it out.

Since you can't escape the fate of being a feudal king and being a local emperor all your life, it is better to stay in the palace honestly, and when you reach the age, you will be crowned a vassal.

As for the mother, when the emperor's father died, he was sent to his brother Liu Pengzu, and he went to visit him from time to time to do his filial piety;

That's it for my own life.

For the court, or the ministers and officials inside and outside the court, Liu Sheng never cared, nor did he dare to care;

What I am afraid of is that I will make extraneous troubles and let myself fall into some unnecessary troubles, which will affect my brother Liu Pengzu and my mother Mrs. Jia.

But what Liu Sheng never expected in any case was that even if he was so cautious and 'clean himself', Liu Sheng still couldn't escape the tricks of fate.

At the beginning, it was just Mrs. Jia who traveled with Liu Qi, the son of heaven, and encountered wild boars on the way;

Liu Sheng was angry but Zhonglang General Zhidu's inaction and contempt for his mother's words, so he willfully punched Zhidu.

After Changle Palace suffered the board and forced his father Liu Qi to punish Zhidu, Liu Shengdu at that time thought that this matter should end here;

Unexpectedly, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, touched his lips up and down, and asked Liu Sheng to worship Prime Minister Shen Tujia as a teacher!

There is also a Li Ji who gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor and occupies the position of 'quasi-queen', but is extremely narrow-minded, so she is very dissatisfied with Liu Sheng's mother and son!

In order to resolve the misunderstanding, Liu Sheng had to find his teacher Shen Tujia;

Unexpectedly, the doctor Yuan Ang came to the door one step earlier than Liu Sheng, and at the same time formed a temporary political alliance with Shen Tujia, he involved the innocent Liu Sheng in the bottomless whirlpool of 'cutting the feudal policy'······

"I'm afraid even my father~"

"Let me go to worship the prime minister as a teacher, for this day, right?"

"I want to borrow my 'variable' to find out the tone of the imperial grandmother······

"Huh······"

Shaking his head with a sneer, Liu Sheng raised his head with bitterness and looked at the intersection of Artemisia Street and Zhangtai Street in front of him.

On the opposite side of Zhangtai Street, is the west gate of Changle Palace, as long as Liu Sheng walks twenty steps further, he can easily enter Changle Palace with the palace card given by his grandmother Empress Dowager Dou.

On Liu Sheng's right-hand side, there is the arsenal;

After passing the arsenal and walking another hundred or ten steps, you can reach the old Anhou Mansion and Shangguanli, where all the Gonghou mansions are located.

At this moment, the intersection in front of me does not seem to be the intersection of Artemisia Street and Zhangtai Street, but the intersection of the fate of Liu Sheng and even Mrs. Jia's mother and son;

As long as one wrong step is taken, the mother and son may fall into the endless abyss······

"Whew~"

With a gloomy face, he exhaled a breath of turbidity, and Liu Sheng's tangled face finally swelled with a touch of determination.

"The potato of "Cutting the Domain" is still too hot for the prince······"

"In the case that Li Ji is already dissatisfied, the hat of 'meddling in national affairs' must not be worn on his head!"

"If you don't meddle in this matter, you may lose the help of the prime minister;"

"But if you intervene, the situation will get worse······"

Thinking like this, Liu Sheng finally took a step, and he had already made a decision in his heart;

Liu Sheng, he wants to go to Changle Palace.

It's just that Liu Sheng went to Changle Palace, but it was not to win the support of Empress Dowager Dou for Shen Tujia and Yuan An, so as to stop Chao Cuo's "Cutting Domain".

As a prince, especially a prince who has no way to compete for the throne, Liu Sheng will never allow himself to be used as a gun in such a daze!

His future has been determined, but it is only a question of where he will be king and how much land he will have;

The only thing Liu Sheng cares about now is his mother, Mrs. Jia, who lived in the Great Internal Forbidden during the period from his own reign to the death of Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven.

It is true that for the predicament of the teacher Shen Tujia, Liu Sheng seems to be really necessary to help.

But the current situation is not something that Liu Sheng can change when he goes to Changle Palace and says two words in the ear of Empress Dowager Dou······

"When we first met, the teacher already knew what kind of person I was."

"-For me, the country, the society, and even my father and emperor are insignificant!"

"The only thing I care about is my mother······"

Thinking like this, Liu Sheng no longer had any worries in his heart, and walked across Zhangtai Street with firm steps and came to the gate of the West Palace of Changle Palace.

Luckily: Shen Tujia's help was not Liu Sheng's only choice;

Liu Sheng, and a grandmother who dotes on him so much, is the queen mother of this big man······
