Weiyang Palace.
The hall was silent.
Everyone looked at the handsome and graceful young man with extremely complicated gazes.
This child was a great talent!
In time, he will become a pillar of the country.
Emperor Jing, Liu Qi, also sized up his son with a new gaze and asked in a deep voice,"What is the name of this song?"
"Sad Song."
Liu Sheng did not wait for the others to ask and immediately continued,
"This song was sung after I heard about the encounters of the princesses!”
With one sentence, many people's questions were blocked.
I did it. There's nothing wrong with admitting it.
It was a plagiarist skill, a necessary skill for transmigrators.
If he couldn't even be this thick-skinned, how could he be worthy of that supreme throne?
Yes, the moment he was bound to the system, Liu Sheng had great ambitions.
Even though his chances of winning were slim, with the help of the system, anything was possible.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining one Ability Card from Lu Bu the God of War.”
When he received the system notification, the smile on his face widened.
"Ninth Highness is really talented, but she is still young and doesn't understand the game of interests between countries.”
Imperial Censor Tao Qing shook his head, looking as if he didn't want to talk to this brat, but he was actually panicking inside.
He was also in a difficult position now, mainly because Liu Sheng was too young.
There was no benefit in winning, and losing would be embarrassing.
No matter how one looked at it, it was a loss.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have taken the initiative. Anyway, he wasn't the one who was the most anxious.
After receiving Tao Qing's vague hint, Emperor Jing, Liu Qi, and internal historian Chao Cuo also came back to their senses.
Now was a critical moment, and they could not allow anyone to ruin their plan of cutting down the vassals.
Thinking of this, Emperor Jing's expression turned cold. He stared at Liu Sheng and said,
"You only know how to talk big at such a young age. Zhen asks you, if you were in the same environment as Gaozu, what would you do?”
Hearing the Emperor's words, all the officials in the hall gasped.
This question was too tricky. Even many adults might not be able to answer it, let alone a teenager who was less than ten years old.
Moreover, the deep meaning behind it also triggered many people's associations.
Gaozu was the founding emperor of the Great Han Dynasty.
Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor already had the intention of choosing a heir?
Logically speaking, regardless of whether it was the order of seniority or the tradition of the direct descendants, it would not have been Liu Sheng's turn.
Moreover, this mother, Madam Jia, did not seem to be very favored, and her family did not have much strength.
This was really strange!
"Your son naturally wouldn't dare to criticize Emperor Gaozu's actions.”
Liu Sheng knew that the real test was coming. If he gave a bad answer, the good impression he had in front of the monarch and his subjects would disappear.
In order not to leave an excuse for others to attack him, he had to be careful with his words.
"Your son only has one opinion. No marriage, no reparations, no ceding of territory, no tribute, the prince guarding the country gate, the king dying for the country, that's all!”
His powerful words silenced the entire court.
A gush of iron-blooded aura that assaulted their faces almost made people ignore Liu Sheng's age. What was left for them was only a great shock.
"Good, good, Ninth Hall His Highness has spoken the thoughts of our soldiers.”
The old Prime Minister Shentu Jia was so excited that his entire body was trembling. It made people very worried that he would faint in the next moment.
He suddenly knelt on the ground and said to Emperor Jing and Liu Qi,"Your Majesty, although I am old, I am willing to fight, dare to fight, and can fight!”
For so many years, the old Prime Minister had always regarded himself as a soldier. At this moment, he was even more furious and wanted to immediately put on his armor and charge into the grasslands.
"Your Majesty, I, Zhou Yafu, am willing to fight, dare to fight, and can fight!”
"Your Majesty, this subject Han Tui is willing to fight, dares to fight, and can fight!”
"Your Majesty, I, Wei Shang, am willing to fight, dare to fight, and can fight!”
"Your Majesty…"
Chao Cuo and the others were flabbergasted by the furious generals.
Zhou Yafu was famous in Tianxia for being good at training soldiers. He had just stepped down from his position as a lieutenant and was now a general of chariots and horses.
Han Tuidang, the son of Han Wangxin, was conferred the title of Gonggao Marquis and brought back many of the Xiongnu cavalry's battle ideas.
Wei Shang was the governor of Yunzhong County. He had been guarding the border for many years and had made great contributions. Even the Xiongnu had heard of his name.
Seeing so many important officials request to fight, Emperor Jing, Liu Qi, was surprised and happy.
He was happy that the morale of the army could be used, which would be extremely beneficial to the future battle with the Xiongnu.
They were shocked because the timing was not right. If they reprimanded him, they were afraid that it would hurt the morale of the army.
In a dilemma, Emperor Jing, Liu Qi, had no choice but to let a group of important officials stand up first. Then, he turned his spearhead to Liu Sheng, the culprit who caused all of this.
"The Xiongnu envoy is outside the hall. I will leave this matter to you to handle. I only have one request.”
He knew that his request was a little difficult, but how could it be that only his son would cause trouble for his father? The father could not dig a hole for his son.
Aren't you very awesome? You righteously opposed the marriage alliance. Let's see what you can do now?
Although it was a little inappropriate, Emperor Jing, Liu Qi, did have the urge to wait to see his son make a fool of himself.
He had even thought of the words to preach and was waiting for Liu Sheng to beg for mercy.
"Your son accepts the order!"
Under the shocked gazes of his brothers and all the officials, Liu Sheng calmly accepted this difficult task.
It was as if this was a trivial matter to him.
At this moment, Emperor Jing's gaze instantly became extremely complicated.
He didn't know if he wanted Liu Sheng to complete the mission successfully or if he wanted Liu Sheng to fail on the verge of success.
The former stemmed from the Emperor's rationality, while the latter stemmed from his selfishness as a father.
As the emperor, why was it so difficult to teach a disobedient son a lesson?
