At this time, Liu Che naturally wouldn't be so painful as to worry about whether the thirteen-year-old was legal or not.

He was weighing the pros and cons at this point.

As the crown prince, Liu Che naturally knew very well that any qiē could be traded.

Including feelings, love, and whatever.

If necessary, Liu Che can even marry a Sister Feng and go home to pay tribute.

However, Chao Cuo's request made Liu Che hesitate.

In the Western Han Dynasty, the political power of foreign relatives was very powerful.

Chao Cuo can see that he wants to let Chao follow the path of his relatives in the possible future.

However, Liu Che knew that if there was no accident, Chao Cuo's dream was destined to be shattered.

Not to mention anything else, when Wu Chu's rebellion is together, Chao Chu's head will fall to the ground.

And if Chao Cuo dies, the whole family will be implicated.

However, according to the rules of the game, all women involved in it will be forced to hand it over.

Don't talk about a princely woman.

Even if the emperor's favorite concubine is involved in such a turmoil, she will step down, and the best result is even just a glass of poisoned wine.

Otherwise, those who stepped on 10,000 feet in Chao Cuo's body would be scared to wake up in the middle of the night!

At that time, will Liu Che pay or not?

If it was an ordinary situation, it would be nothing if Liu Che decisively handed it over.

It's just a woman!

But the key is......

After the death of Chao Cuo in the previous life, especially after the rebellion of Wu Chu was pacified, a large wave of hindsight and the reversal of the case party emerged.

Although it turns out that these people are also some insignificant remnants.

But for a certain period of time. The combat effectiveness of these remnants is still very good, basically helping Chao Cuo clear up his grievances, and making the emperor shed a few crocodile tears.

And in that period. There is no doubt that these people will definitely pay attention to Liu Che, the wrong granddaughter handed over by the prince.

And then......

The dignified prince of the Han family, known as the heir of the next generation designated by Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, will be exposed to the public...... And for Liu Che, it can be said that it is a stain that is difficult to explain clearly, and thousands of years later, it will be clearly recorded in the history books, and it will make people have the idea that the prince is nothing more than that.

If you don't pay it. That large wave of people who oppose the wrong alliance, including Yuan An, will feel very unsafe when they sleep at night.

If these people are desperately up. Not to mention Liu Che, the prince, even his father, may not be able to bear it.

You have to know that those who pulled Chao Wrong down in their previous lives. And then the people who stepped on his back with 10,000 feet were almost all big men at the level of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries!

But if you think about it the other way around. If Liu Che insists on not handing over people, it is very likely that he will get a wrong political inheritance in the future.

The pros and cons of this, for a while, Liu Che really can't decide.

Chao Cuo didn't know what Liu Che was thinking.

He also thought that the crown prince was scrupling about the opinion of the Son of Heaven.

After all, the unspoken rule of the Han family, the relatives of ministers with more than 2,000 stones, will never be included in the royal family's concubine system.

So he said, "Home." The minister has already told His Majesty about this......"

The implication is clear. The emperor has already nodded his head about this matter.

Liu Che listened, but his heart moved.

He remembered a story he had heard in his previous life.

In the previous life, Chao Cuo presided over the cutting of the domain, probably around this time, Chao Cuo's father came all the way from Yingchuan to Chang'an, persuading Chao Cuo not to stubbornly cut the feudal domain, and finally neither father nor son could convince each other, Chao Cuo's father committed suicide by drinking poisoned wine in despair, and said to Chao Cuo before he died: "Liu's family is safe, and Chao's family is in danger, I will go to the public to return!" ”

Calculate the time, probably in the last minute, right?

Liu Che is not quite sure when this story will happen.

But what is certain is that Chao Cuo's father must have come to Chang'an at this moment!

In other words, Chao mistakenly sacrificed his granddaughter, and it is more likely that he will give a reassurance to his father from Yingchuan?

So, Liu Che smiled and asked tentatively: "Gong Chao, I heard that my father-in-law came to Beijing from Yingchuan, can you recommend one or two for Gu?" ”

Chao Cuo was slightly stunned when he heard this.

The news of his father's visit to Chang'an, except for telling Emperor Sù and his teacher Zhang Hui and his senior brother Liu Li, basically did not tell the third person.

Where did the prince find out?

"Father Chen's father is accompanying His Majesty in Shanglin Yuan at the moment, and if you want to see your majesty at home, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to ......" Chao Cuo bowed his head and bowed.

His father, who has some feelings for today's son.

This is the friendship that the Son of Heaven established when he was in the Hidden Mansion.

Therefore, after entering Beijing, he was directly summoned by the Son of Heaven to Shanglin Yuan to entertain him.

After listening to this, Liu Che felt more and more that the suicide of Chao's father in his previous life was full of fog.

First of all, the Han family advocates filial piety, and no matter how confused the political figures are, they can't afford the burden of unfilial piety.

And Chao Cuo actually resisted the pressure of his father, and even after his father committed suicide in front of him, he still insisted on going his own way and forcefully pushed to cut the feudal domain until he died.

Behind this, if there is no pair of invisible hands, instigating and agitating, the ghost will believe that the wrong father, an old rich man in the countryside, and a landlord who has lived in Yingchuan for most of his life, will make the situation in the world like a candle, and even be so strong that he will persuade him to death.

What's even more bizarre is that after Chao's father died, Chao Cuo almost lost his mind, and what happened afterwards was completely different from Chao Cuo's usual political methods.

Rather than saying that Chao Cuo was a madman at that time, it was better to see him as a bull who saw a red cloth.

Before Chao's father died, Chao Cuo could still steadily advance the steps of cutting the feudal domain step by step.

As soon as Chao's father died, Chao Cuo did the crazy action of first cutting the Donghai County of Chu State, and then cutting the two counties of Yuzhang and Huiji of Wu State, which clearly forced Wu Chu to rebel.

The state of Chu is okay, it is relatively cut to its Donghai County, and it can be regarded as a famous division.

Who is called Liu Wu, the king of Chu, who is the second goods, actually drank and had fun with someone during the funeral dress of the Empress Dowager, and also raped a certain noble girl.

And. Donghai County is not very important in the territory of the Chu State.

But the cut of Yuzhang and Huiji of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, was equivalent to taking away his two most important counties and two-thirds of the land in one go. And the biggest source of money!

This is tantamount to forcing Liu Bi to rebel with a knife!

And the culprit that caused this qiē was the suicide of Chao's father.

It is conceivable that if Chao's father does not die, Chao Cuo will definitely be patient, slowly sharpened, and cut down with a knife.

But the death of Chao's father was like a strong stimulant, which made Chao Cuo lose his most basic reason, regardless of the pressure to oppose Wu Chu.

Before and after the review. It is not difficult to find that the people who are pushing for this seem to want to encourage Chao's father to commit suicide. Something to gain for it.

Extrapolating from the results, as the ultimate beneficiary of this matter, Liu Che's father seems to be very suspicious.

However, Liu Che knows. There's no way my dad would do something like this.

And his dad is not a god. How do you know that if you force Wu Chuqi Zhao back, he will definitely win?

You must know that the three counties of Wu and Chu add up to nearly a hundred cities, and if you count the Qi and Zhao kingdoms, basically the seven kingdoms occupy almost half of the world. The control area of the Han Dynasty is not even as large as the territory of the rebels.

So. Liu Che felt that this thing was like the tail of Liu Bi, the king of Wu.

In the previous life, after the rebellion of Wu and Chu was pacified, the ministers of Wu and Chu captured by the Han family had similar testimony that Wu Wangyin was plotting rebellion.

It is also clearly recorded in the historical records written by Taishi Gong in later generations: The Han courtiers discussed cutting the domain, and Wu Wangbi was afraid of cutting the land...... and so on.

In this way, the main messenger behind it is about to come out.

"This is the same as a-stirring stick...... Liu Che shook his head, Liu Bi is indeed the biggest-stirring stick in the Han family.

Since his son was stoned to death by Liu Che's father on a chessboard, he has been working against the central government in everything.

If you want to rebel, it's not a day or two.

When Liu Che's imperial grandfather was there, he was gearing up and eager to try.

It is not Liu Che's imperial grandfather who has never given him any excuses and truths, I am afraid that Liu Bi has long rebelled like Liu Xingju.

And now, locusts, comets and other natural changes and disasters have undoubtedly strengthened Liu Bi's courage.

Let him finally make up his mind to take that step.

Naturally, Liu Bi is not stupid, of course he knows that only relying on his three counties of Wu State, let alone wrestling with Chang'an, I am afraid that if the front foot just raises the flag of rebellion, the back foot will be suppressed by Chu State, Changsha and Qi Zhao.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly the best policy to pull as many vassal states as possible to rebel together.

If you want to do this, you have to make those princes and kings feel the pain of their skin.

Only the princes and kings will rebel with him if they really hurt.

Otherwise, it is not appropriate for a good soil emperor to follow him Liu Bi to do this kind of activity of losing his head and killing the whole family, and those princes and kings are not fools!

So what could be faster than provoking Chao Cuo and making Chao Cuo go crazy by any means necessary?

Thinking so, Liu Che sighed.

Judging from the results, Liu Bi is obviously dying.

But from the perspective of the goal, this is Liu Bi's only choice.

Otherwise, if Chao Cuo really dragged on for three or five years, and dealt with the vassal states little by little, then he would have no hope at all.

What's even more terrifying is that Liu Bi is so old that he doesn't have a few years to live.

If he doesn't, I'm afraid time alone will kill him!

"Since I guessed that Liu Bi was making trouble, should I speak out and sabotage Liu Bi's scheme?" Liu Che pondered in his heart.

But soon, he shook his head.

Sabotaging Liu Bi's plot is not good for Liu Che!

On the contrary, there are disadvantages!

It is true that once the Wuchu Rebellion breaks out next year, the number of people who die because of it will not be one or two, not 12,000, but hundreds of thousands, and the production and life of the local people will not be guaranteed wherever the army passes.

But, as a ruler, especially a royal family that has experienced failures in a previous life.

Liu Che is no longer the time-traveler who has just crossed in his previous life and is full of thoughts about the future.

For him, as long as he can ascend to the throne smoothly and reign over the world, then any sacrifice is worth it!

In history, every ruler stepped on a lot of bones to ascend to the throne!

More importantly, Liu Che knew very well that even if he thwarted Liu Bi's plot, it was very likely that he would not be able to stop Liu Bi's determination to rebel.

On the contrary, it will continue to delay, let it continue to accumulate strength, prepare the army, and break out in the future, and the danger and destruction caused by it may exceed the damage caused by the Wu Chu Rebellion in the previous life. (To be continued......)
