[Volume 1] Section 203: Sick 2

------------

There is an alley in Chang'an called Shangguanli, Shangguanli is spacious and tidy, the whole lane is paved with bluelime bricks, Shangguanli is actually very ordinary, and it still looks a little cold in the 12th lane of Chang'an 8th Street. *

In the first year of Yuanping (74 years ago), Shangguanli suddenly became lively, and the neighbors stopped their work and gathered in front of a house.

In front of the house, I saw the high cart and the horse, the honor guard in the palace, and listened to the drum music, which was extremely lively.

The neighbors were talking in a whisper, and everyone had a festive smile on their faces, Shang Guanli hadn't been so lively for many years.

The people who lived in this house, they all knew, were the young man who spent all day outside fighting cocks and lackeys, wandering around.

The young man's name is Liu Aiji, who is eighteen years old this year, and he married Xu Pingjun, the daughter of Xu Guanghan, a violent husband, and gave birth to a son Liu Zheng two years ago.

Liu's life experience has always been a taboo topic among the surrounding people. He is the grandson of Prince Zhao Liu Ju, eighteen years ago, Empress Wei, Prince Zhao Liu Ju, Liu Ju's wife and concubine, and Liu Ju's three sons and one daughter were all spared, including Liu's parents.

Liu was already young because he was young, and when he was in prison, he had to meet Bingji, who was the court lieutenant at the time. Bingji felt compassion and decided to keep this bloodline for the wronged prince Liu Ju. After his mother was killed, Bingji chose two female prisoners to take turns feeding Liu Aiji. Liu Ai miraculously survived in prison in this way.

Later, Emperor Wu recuperated in Wuqi Palace, and some warlocks said that there was a son of heaven in Chang'an Prison. In order to prevent trouble, Emperor Wu ordered that all prisoners in Chang'an Prison be executed, regardless of whether the crime was minor or serious.

The edict soon came to the court where Liu was fostered and conveyed the order to execute all the prisoners. However, in order to keep Liu Ai, Bingji has been rejecting the edict, his reason is that the Son of Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and the people of Pingtou cannot be killed at will, and there is also the emperor's great-grandson.

The edict and Bingji were in a stalemate for one night, and when they didn't get anything done, they could only go back to Emperor Wu to report their lives.

After listening to the envoy's reply, Emperor Wu realized that there was still his great-grandson in prison, and he came to his senses, so he ordered the pardon of all prisoners for capital crimes.

Under Bingji's search, Liu was sent to his maternal grandmother, Shijia, outside Chang'an, for foster care. Emperor Wu left a testament before his death, and ordered the court to order Zhang He to adopt Liu Ai, and Liu Ai was able to return to Chang'an.

Zhang He once served Liu Zhi, Liu Zhi treated him well, Zhang He was grateful for the old kindness, and took good care of Liu Zhi, and spent his own money to ask someone to teach Liu Ai poems and books.

Liu Yi has grown up, and Zhang He married him a daughter-in-law again.

It is said that there are many strange things happening in this Liu Ai, and when he is lying down, there will be light, and he goes to the store to buy cakes, and the business of that store is extremely hot.

These seem to indicate that Liu Yi will no longer be an ordinary person.

Sure enough, the day finally came.

Liu Ill had gotten up early in the morning, and as soon as he stretched his waist, he listened to the drumming outside, and Liu Ill was already curious. There was a bustle to see, he naturally wanted to see it with his own eyes, and as soon as he opened the door, he was dumbfounded.

An official dressed in official uniform and with a ribbon around his waist was holding a stack of gorgeous clothes, and behind him was a neatly standing guard of honor, including a mighty armor soldier and a beautiful maid, and the drummer saw that the door was open, and changed to a kind of music to which the dragon appeared.

The leading official looked carefully at Liu Ai in front of him with a smile on his face, he was dressed in a simple way, with a gray scarf tied on his hair, looking like a prince of the royal family, but like a commoner in the market.

Although Zongzheng Liu De knew that there was such a great-grandson as Liu Yi, he did not see him, and when he became a naturalized citizen, he was only one or two years old.

After Liu De confirmed that the young man in front of him was Liu Ai, he read the edict to Liu Ai, who was confused.

Liu Yi was stunned by the content of the edict, and the imperial court actually asked him to take over the position of the Son of Heaven.

"No, it's a dream." Liu Yi had pinched himself hard, 'Oops', it really hurts.

Zongzheng Liu De smiled and took Liu Aiji's hand and told him that you are not dreaming, this is true, you are the future son of heaven, here are your royal clothes, and some royal utensils, you take them first, after a few hours, someone will take you into the palace, please bathe and change clothes.

After Liu De conveyed the will of the Queen Mother, he put down the utensils and withdrew

Liu Yi had already looked at Liu De's distant back, and almost softened, but fortunately, his wife was supporting him by his side, until now, his head was still blank, and he was faint there.

He stumbled a few times after taking a few steps, and he didn't even know where to go to shower and change clothes.

Xu Pingjun patted him for a long time before waking him up.

Liu Yi, who finally woke up, had already cried loudly, and he never dreamed that a person like him would have such good luck.

Is this what grandparents and parents bought for their lives? Having said that, if his grandfather, Prince Wei, could succeed to the throne smoothly, he would still have a chance to become emperor.

Liu Yi is no longer a delusional person, he has royal blood, but he has never been treated by the royal family. What makes him sadest the most is that since he can remember, he has no parents, and he can only imagine what his parents and grandparents look like in his dreams.

When he was a child, his great-grandmother Shijia was not a wealthy family, and he had a hard time when he was a child.

Fortunately, he met so many good people, Bingji, Zhang He, including his great-grandmother, his father-in-law, and his wife, that he was able to maintain such an optimistic attitude and a positive outlook on life.

More fortunately, although he likes cockfighting and lackeys, his studies have not fallen behind, "poems", "books", "filial piety" and other classics, he knows everything. He especially likes to travel, and his footprints are all over the three auxiliary rooms, which makes him have a deep understanding of the people's sufferings and the gains and losses of the officials. And these are all necessary talents to become a generation of heroes.

Liu Ill had finished bathing and changing clothes, and the servant drove the hunting car to take Liu Ill to Zongzheng Mansion.

Soon, Liu Yi had entered the Weiyang Palace, met the Queen Mother, and was named the Marquis of Yangwu. An hour later, the ministers presented the seal, Liu Yi had officially ascended the throne as the emperor, and the Empress Dowager Shangguan was promoted to the empress dowager.

In 74 B.C., Liu Yi had ascended the throne as the emperor, which was another eloquent British lord of the Han Dynasty------ Emperor Liu Xun of the Han Dynasty.
