When the Han Dynasty was booming and the emperor's prestige became stronger day by day, Liu Jun fell into troubles in the harem.

Liu Heyuan, the second son of the emperor, born to Concubine Li, was promoted to the prince of Korea, becoming the first king of the Han Dynasty and the first prince to be named king. Although Liu Heyuan, the king of Korea, was actually just named King of Korea, he could not control anything in Korea.

But this was the first prince to be crowned as a king in the Han Dynasty, especially Liu Heyuan was also the second son of the emperor.

The eldest son of the emperor, Liu Hekun, is the legitimate son of Empress Lu. There is no reason why the second son of the emperor, born by the imperial concubine, is the king, but the eldest son of the empress is still a duke.

In recent years, Empress Lu has been very tolerant of Liu Jun's harem. She knows that there will always be many women with great men, and this is not enough to control it. She doesn't want to mess with the emperor, so she will not interfere as long as it does not hinder her status. But now, Empress Lu is not so calm when it comes to the eldest son.

When the emperor fought in Japan this year, Empress Lu gave birth to another son. Now Empress Lu attaches great importance to the rights of her two sons.

When Liu Jun returned to Beijing, Empress Lu directly raised the issue of titles of two legitimate princes to the emperor. She bluntly stated that she hoped that the emperor would consider canonizing the eldest son of the emperor Liu Hekun as the crown prince, and hoped that the second son, whom she had just born, could be crowned with the king.

Empress Lu could tolerate the emperor having three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines, and allowed him to welcome a large group of Mongolian, Jurchen and other noble women into the palace. Even the emperor married a Korean princess and the Japanese queen into the palace, but she did not object, but she would not give in to her son.

Previously, the emperor refused to be crowned with the crown prince, saying that the princes were still young and had first been crowned Duke. Lu obeyed. But now, what is Li's son who is allowed to be crowned with the king?

Her son was the royal legitimate son, especially Liu Hekun, who was not only the legitimate son, but also the eldest son. As the eldest son of the emperor and the queen, it was very natural to enthrone him as the crown prince. In the future, this huge empire will naturally be inherited by him.

The system of pride chief can be said to be the core of the Zong family inheritance system. If there is a legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate leg

This system of chief legitimate rulers guarantees the order of the system, because whether a virtuous or not may change, but the elders will not change. Establishing a legitimate ruler can ensure fairness and stability to the greatest extent and will not easily cause chaos.

However, when Empress Lu mentioned this to the emperor, the emperor did not accept her request.

Liu Jun did not directly say that he did not consider the inheritance system of the eldest son. In Liu Jun's view, the inheritance system of the eldest son naturally has its own advantages, but also its shortcomings. What is advantageous is that it is easy to maintain the stability of inheritance and not easy to cause chaos. But the shortcomings are of course that the eldest son is not necessarily the best. If the eldest son is just a mediocre or even unqualified heir, then handing over a huge empire to inherit is undoubtedly a very bad choice.

Of course, now the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Hekun, is only three years old, and no one can guarantee that he will not become a virtuous king.

But Liu Jun was unwilling to gamble because this child might not be suitable for the heir. Once he was appointed as the crown prince early, it would be difficult to change at that time. It would be even more undesirable to establish himself first and then depose him.

Liu Jun planned to look slowly. He now has thirteen children, including seven princes, the oldest is only three years old and the youngest is only three months old.

Moreover, Liu Jun was only in his twenties. Judging from the emperor's many concubines and his current age, if the emperor worked hard and could provide good care of medical care and died less prematurely, it would not be a problem for the emperor to give birth to twenty or thirty princes or even fifty or sixty or hundreds of them.

King Jing of Zhongshan in the Han Dynasty and a prince in the royal family in the Ming Dynasty, all had more than a hundred sons.

Among dozens or even hundreds of princes, who knows which one is the best?

It is precisely because of these considerations that Liu Jun refused to establish a prince early. Before, he deliberately only named two princes as dukes on the grounds that the prince was young. But now because the emperor's second son was named prince, Empress Lu finally refused to wait.

Although Liu Jun explained to the queen that he appointed the second son as the King of Joseon, it was just to merge North Korea, because Liu Hekun had the blood of the Korean royal family, and making him the King of Joseon could better appease the Korean people.

But Empress Lu could not accept such a reason. She did not object to Liu Heyuan as the prince of Korea, but the eldest son should be made the prince, and the second son must also be made the prince.

Liu Jun is a person who is not easily changed, and he did not accept the queen's request. After several unpleasant conversations, Liu Jun even refused to see the queen again.

The queen asked for a meeting, but Liu Jun asked the eunuch to stop him directly and disappeared on the grounds that government affairs were busy.

On this day, Empress Lu came out again and told her that the emperor was busy and saw that the queen could no longer tolerate it. She ignored the eunuch's obstruction and directly asked her palace servants to push the eunuch away, and then broke into the Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, no matter how busy the state is, you have to take the dragon body first. I stew a pot of ginseng black chicken soup for Your Majesty to help you replenish your body." After entering the hall, Lu tried his best to keep a smile on his face.

Liu Jun left the memorial in his hand with a slight displeasure, but he was still patient.

"If the queen is getting colder today, it's only a hundred days after giving birth. She is now taking good care of her health in the house. Why do you come to me for stewing chicken? Everything is fine. If nothing else, I will send the queen back to the palace to recuperate."

Lu felt like a piece of ice in his heart about the emperor's words that were equivalent to expelling guests. But she could not be annoyed. She knew that she had been too forced for a while and had already made the emperor unhappy. She didn't want to make the relationship between the two of them furious anymore. It was really furious, and it was not good for her or her son.

She tried her best to ease her tone, "Master, I am well prepared, but Xiaoqi has been in no energy since tonight."

Liu Jun sat upright and pondered for a while. He did not mean to go to the Queen's Palace to visit the Seventh Prince as Lu expected. Instead, he turned to the eunuch beside him and said, "Send it to the Imperial Doctor quickly and go to see the Seventh Prince. If there is any result, I will immediately report it to me."

The eunuch went to pass the imperial edict. Liu Jun picked up another memorial and read it, ignoring the queen.

This reaction made the queen unable to continue staying there. She dismissed and left the Qianqing Palace. The queen felt very aggrieved and wanted to cry.

In the past, the emperor would always be satisfied if she had any requests. But this time, she had used all kinds of methods, was tough, and gave in. But the emperor simply refused to take the liberty and had no room for compromise in the establishment of the prince.

But she could not reveal such grievances, nor could she let others know that the emperor refused to appoint a prince. She could only hold back her tears.

When he returned to his Kunning Palace, the queen felt even more aggrieved when she saw the little face of the three-year-old eldest son Liu Hekun. No, he should have been born as the crown prince, which he deserved. No one could snatch it away.

After thinking about it, Lu felt that it was impossible for him to change the emperor's attitude, and the only possibility was the Empress Dowager of the Supreme Emperor.

Empress Lu called the palace servants to ask them to dress the eldest son. She personally carried the seventh prince, and then went to the palace of the Supreme Emperor and Empress Dowager.

The Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager were very happy that the Empress brought her two legitimate grandsons over.

"The little grandson is here to see the emperor's grandfather and the emperor's grandmother." The Supreme Emperor smiled and hugged the Changsun on his knees, teasing the child's face. The three-year-old Changsun is very close to his grandfather, and he already knows that he is a silly call the emperor's grandfather.

"This child is so smart, only three years old. Last time I taught him the hundred families, he could have been able to recite it for a long time. He is worthy of being the emperor, and there are successors in the Han Empire."

Mrs. Lu was happy when she heard this, "Don't say this, He Kun is just a Duke now."

The Supreme Emperor Liu Xiu said, "Xiao Hekun is the eldest son of the royal family. Now he is only young. He will naturally become the crown prince in a few years, and this will change."

A three-year-old child can be said to have a very small risk of death. Especially Liu Hekun has been vaccinated with cowpox and will no longer have the risk of smallpox.

Smallpox has always been the culprit of the death of a large number of children in childhood. This is a terrible disease that cannot be prevented and treated in the past. Once smallpox is obtained, it may have a great mortality rate. Whether you are a royal noble or an ordinary grassroots child, once smallpox is obtained, whether you can survive depends on the will of heaven. Maybe even after it is done, you will still have a look of marijuana.

But two years ago, the Dahan Imperial Hospital had taken the initiative to inoculate children with cowpox by actively vaccinating cows, and used this not-risk cow to prevent and treat smallpox. Cowpox is somewhat similar to smallpox, but it only occurs in cows, and its harm is far less than smallpox.

When this vaccination on children, it will cause a fever, but it will soon be cured. After vaccination, smallpox will no longer appear. This discovery has greatly changed the terrible situation caused by smallpox in the past through vaccination.

The eldest son of the emperor, Liu Hekun, took over cowpox and is now over three years old. Without the threat of smallpox, the three-year-old prince is basically extremely unlikely to die unexpectedly.

Therefore, in the view of the Supreme Emperor Liu Xiu, Liu Hekun can already be made the crown prince and should also be made the crown prince.

"But Your Majesty seems to be dissatisfied with He Kun, and he is very opposed to He Kun as the prince. He Kun is so smart, I don't know what he did wrong, which makes the emperor dissatisfied with him. Maybe I did something wrong and made the emperor angry on Kun'er." Lu said with tears in his eyes, "Father, if Your Majesty really takes his anger on Kun'er because of me, then I am willing not to be this queen, just ask the emperor not to dislike Kun'er because of this, he is still so young."

Liu Xiu snorted after hearing this, "You have never lost your morality when you enter my Liu family. Kun'er is so smart and cute. How can the emperor treat you mother and son like this? No matter how literary and military virtues he is outside, he is still my son in front of me. You are my daughter-in-law of my Liu family, and Kun'er is the eldest grandson of my Liu family. I will decide for you."

As he said that, Liu Xiu simply stood up with his grandson in his arms, "I'll go find the emperor now, I want to hear how he explains it to me."

"Ah!" The queen looked at her father-in-law holding Liu Hekun and walked out, and she was a little surprised or moved for a moment.

Liu Xiu walked into the Ganqing Hall with his grandson in his arms, and the guards did not dare to stop him along the way.

"Emperor, I heard that you have been busy recently and have not even been watching your son. I specially brought Kun'er to see you."

Liu Jun had no choice but to put down the memorial and stood up to greet him.

"Originally, we will hold a family dinner in the past two days, bringing the two brothers, several sisters and nephews into the palace to accompany the two elders."

Liu Xiu saw the opportunity and said, "Oh. Is that right? I thought that Mr. Kun'er and I were not offending the emperor."

"You are my father, Kun'er is my son. Blood is thicker than blood. It's the most close thing. How dare I? It's just that I'm really too busy recently. I went to Japan before, and I've accumulated a lot of things to deal with."

"That's good, I feel relieved. I thought this child wouldn't make you angry. I said, "Emperor". Kun'er is over three years old and has been vaccinated with cowpox. Look at this child, he is now extremely strong and very smart. I personally taught him to read the Hundred Family Names, and he can recite a lot. When he grows up, he will definitely achieve great things. Look, should he be appointed Kun'er as the crown prince earlier, and the crown prince earlier, and good morning for the people."

Liu Xiu finally expressed the purpose of this trip.

"Father, the prince is the king of a country. It is also the foundation of a country. My father should know its importance. Kun'er is still so young. Although he is smart now, who can guarantee that he will still be smart and virtuous when he grows up?"

Liu Xiu's face was a little unfavorable. "Isn't it good to inherit the eldest son? Does Your Majesty intend to abandon this ancestor to achieve the law, but instead want to establish a virtuous person instead of a virtuous person? The emperor. Establishing a virtuous person but not a virtuous person is the way to cause disaster and the source of chaos."

There are some words that Liu Jun and Empress Lu would not say so clearly, but they have no such concern for their father.

"It is a matter of whether to establish a chief or a virtuous person. I do not oppose a chief, nor must I be a virtuous person. As long as the chief has the resources to maintain success, I will still choose to establish a chief. But if the eldest son cannot maintain the qualities of a person in Chengdu and cannot defend the capital, I will not be able to hand over such a huge empire to him."

"Father, there are still too many of these people who say that these princes are under twenty years old and cannot really see their qualifications. I don't plan to quickly establish the prince now. The prince is easy to establish, but if the wrong choice is made, it will be a very troublesome thing."

The emperor was so clear that he did not oppose Li Xian Bu Li Chang's attitude, and the Supreme Emperor Liu Xiu was very shocked.

"But now the second son of the emperor has been named king, but the eldest son of the emperor is still the Duke of the country. This matter is probably aroused bad speculation, which is unfair to Kun'er." The Supreme Emperor loved Liu Hekun very much and was still fighting for his grandson at this time.

Liu Jun said, "Yuaner was granted the title of the Korean prince because of his situation. Besides, the Korean prince was not a vassal and had no real relationship with the land of North Korea. At most, it was just a higher salary. Well, I can't favor one or the other, so as not to convey any wrong information."

On the same day, the emperor issued an edict, after he conferred the second son of the emperor, Liu Heyuan as the prince of Korea, and once again conferred the prince as the prince. This time, the emperor was conferred the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Hekun, and the emperor issued an edict to confer the eldest son of the emperor as the prince of Japan. At the same time, in the edict, the world was ordered that before the eldest son of the emperor was eighteen years old, they would no longer be officially awarded titles, but only called princes, which were distinguished by rankings. The seven princes today, except for the eldest son of the emperor as the prince of Japan and the second son of the emperor as the prince of Korea, the other five princes were only called His Highness, the rank was second rank, and were under the Prime Minister's participation in politics.

Empress Lu did not expect that the Supreme Emperor would take action in the end, but in exchange for such a result. The eldest son of the emperor, Liu Hekun, was not only not appointed as the crown prince, but was instead appointed as the Japanese king. In the Lu family's opinion, this Japanese king is not as good as the Korean king, after all, the Korean king was enthroned in the front.

But the emperor's edict has been issued, and Empress Lu can't change it no matter how dissatisfied Empress. He even regretted finding the Emperor. If he doesn't find the Emperor, maybe the Emperor will not grant his eldest son the King of Japan.

Even if you only continue to hold the duke of the past country, it is much better than the current Japanese king's title.

Lu was very disappointed. He had not entered the water and rice that day, but he just lay on the bed and sulked.

After dinner, she was still leaning against the bedside and feeling depressed. At this time, a female official came and reported that His Majesty would come to Kunning Palace tonight and asked the Empress to prepare to pick her up.
