Chapter 77 The Fourth Son, Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che

There were many princesses in every dynasty, but Liu Wu was even happier that his daughter could marry Princess Changle.

Historically, Li Lizhi showed extraordinary wisdom and cheerful personality since she was young. She was not only well-educated, but also good at thinking and had her own unique views on things. This intelligence and cheerfulness made her attract much attention in the Tang Dynasty palace, and also won the favor of Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun.

She has a gentle personality, is respectful and polite to her elders, and is humble and friendly to her peers.

Li Lizhi treated others with kindness and was especially caring towards her family. She was filial to her parents and friendly to her brothers and sisters. This quality of kindness, filial piety and friendship was particularly rare in the royal family of the Li Tang ruled by Li Shimin.

Li Lizhi not only had an outstanding personality, but also had a beautiful appearance. She was famous for her beauty and became a goddess in the minds of many people at that time. However, even so, she did not become proud and complacent because of this, but instead paid more attention to the improvement of her inner cultivation.

Good at calligraphy and painting: Li Lizhi is also good at calligraphy and painting. Her calligraphy and painting works are not only exquisite in technique, but also full of emotion and artistic conception.

There is no doubt that Princess Changle Li Lizhi was a princess with an intelligent and cheerful personality, gentle and humble, benevolent, filial and friendly, famous for her beauty and good at calligraphy and painting.

Liu Wu looked at his daughter in his arms and felt like he had found a little cotton-padded jacket.

“Scam, scam Princess Changle!”

If it was said that his third son had tried to scam Liu Bang, the old man Liu Wu would still hesitate, but if it was said that his own daughter had scammed Princess Changle, Liu Wu did not hesitate at all.

[Congratulations to the host for giving birth to a daughter, Princess Li Lizhi of the Tang Dynasty. This girl already possesses all of Li Lizhi’s talents.]

[Host’s progress in obtaining the second ability: 4/6]

“Wow wow wow~”

When the prompt sounded and he could still hear his daughter crying, Liu Wu was very happy. Firstly, he had gotten Princess Changle through fraud for his daughter, and secondly, he had already gotten four historical figures through fraud for his offspring. As long as he could get two more, he could draw one more ability from them.

“Husband, you look so happy?”

Mrs. Mi, who was pregnant, looked at Liu Wu holding her daughter, staring at the baby and laughing foolishly, and couldn’t help but say something in surprise.

During the Han Dynasty, there was still an idea of ​​favoring boys over girls.

Logically speaking, even if Liu Wu didn’t mind Madam Gan giving birth to a daughter, he wouldn’t be so happy, right?

Liu Wu was even happier than when his sisters gave birth to sons.

“This is my husband’s first daughter, of course I’m happy. Let’s go see Qian’er!”

Liu Wu suppressed the joy in his heart, thought of Mrs. Gan who had just suffered great pain, and said with a smile.

Seeing Liu Wu so happy, Mrs. Mi became more confused.

However, there was nothing to say now, so he walked into the delivery room with Liu Wu.

In the delivery room, the baby was born successfully, but Mrs. Gan was not happy at all. Instead, tears welled up in her pale and weak face. When she saw Liu Wu coming in with the baby in his arms, tears welled up in her beautiful eyes.

“Madam, what are you doing? The birth went smoothly.”

Seeing Mrs. Gan in tears, Liu Wu immediately spoke.

“Husband, it’s not a boy!”

Mrs. Gan said to Liu Wu quite aggrievedly.

Although she was honest and dared to love and hate, she was also strong-willed. After finally getting pregnant and carrying the baby for ten months, she gave birth to a daughter, which made Mrs. Gan feel a little guilty. In Mrs. Gan’s mind, giving birth to a boy to strengthen the Liu family was the best thing.

Liu Wu listened to Madam Gan’s words and immediately understood what she meant. He couldn’t help but smile and said:
“Madam, what nonsense are you talking about? What’s wrong with a daughter? A daughter is a father’s sweetheart. Who doesn’t like a daughter? A daughter is the father’s lover in his previous life!”

Liu Wu grabbed Mrs. Gan’s hand and comforted her with a smile.

“Ah, husband, why do you think so?”

“Do you really think so? You’re not trying to comfort me, are you?”

Mrs. Gan opened her beautiful eyes wide, looked at Liu Wu in surprise, and said.

“Sister Gan, don’t worry, your husband is not trying to comfort you. He must really like his daughter. Just now outside, your husband was holding the child and smiling from ear to ear. He was happier than when Liu Mu, Liu Wei, and Liu Zheng were born.”

Mrs. Mi said nice things, and of course, what she said was true. Liu Wu’s behavior outside was really like that.

“My husband, you are so kind.” Mrs. Gan looked at Liu Wu, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness.

“Husband, please give our daughter a name.” After all, it was the child she had been carrying for ten months, so Mrs. Gan soon said to Liu Wu expectantly.

Hearing this, Liu Wu nodded and smiled, “I have already prepared a name, so let’s name her ‘Lizhi’. Lizhi means natural beauty, extraordinary beauty. It means that my daughter has outstanding looks and a gentle personality. It is a name full of beauty and cultural connotations.”

Liu Wu gave the name “Lizhi” to his little girl without hesitation.

“Beautiful, outstanding appearance, and gentle personality.”

When Madam Gan and Madam Mi heard the name Liu Wu gave them, their beautiful eyes lit up.

“Sister Gan, what a nice name. Beautiful, naturally beautiful.” Mrs. Mi smiled at Mrs. Gan.

“Thank you, husband!” Mrs. Gan was also very satisfied with the name and expressed her gratitude to Liu Wu.

Just from the name Lizhi, Mrs. Gan felt that Liu Wu loved this daughter from the bottom of his heart.

“Madam, please rest assured. I will take care of Li Zhi first.”

Liu Wu held his daughter Xiao Lizhi in his arms and smiled comfortingly at Mrs. Gan.

Normally, children are not good-looking when they are born, but this little girl is quite good-looking and cute. Except for crying loudly at the beginning, she soon stopped crying. Instead, she sniffed her nose from time to time and waved her hands, looking very cute.

Mrs. Mi, who was standing by, saw that Liu Wu was even holding his daughter and was unwilling to let go, and she couldn’t help but feel that Liu Wu was unique and different from this era.

However, she had never seen Liu Wu like such a child so much.

She couldn’t help but suddenly envy the little daughter born to Mrs. Gan.

Mrs. Mi couldn’t help but touch her bulging belly, wondering whether she was giving birth to a boy or a girl, and whether Liu Wu liked it.

Just the day after Mrs. Gan gave birth to a daughter, Mrs. Mi, who was expecting her baby, also gave birth.

“Wow wow wow~”

The sound of a baby crying came from the delivery room.

Liu Wu, who was waiting in the courtyard, had his eyes lit up, and Mi Zhu, who was anxiously waiting beside him, was also very excited.

Now, Liu Wu has occupied three states and has the emperor in his hands. He has the power to be the first among the princes in the world. Liu Wu has a bright future. Therefore, Mi Zhu is very concerned about his sister giving birth to Liu Wu’s offspring.

When Mrs. Mi was about to give birth, Mi Zhu couldn’t wait to come and wait in person.

“It’s born, it’s born, Zihao, my sister is born.” Mi Zhu said excitedly.

Liu Wu was also happy, but he did not lose his composure. Looking at the excited Mi Zhu, he smiled and said, “Everything goes well, as long as it goes well.”

“Crack!”

At this time, the door of the delivery room opened, and the midwife congratulated Liu Wu from afar:
“Congratulations, my Lord. Madam gave birth to a boy successfully. Both mother and child are safe!”

The midwife’s voice reached Mi Zhu’s ears, and Mi Zhu’s nervous heart instantly calmed down and his face turned red.

His sister gave birth to another son for Liu Wu, and the Mi family’s status was stabilized!

Not to mention Mi Zhu’s excitement, Liu Wu didn’t react much when he heard that it was a boy.

After all, he already has three sons.

I don’t know if the fourth child who is here now will have a good result.

Liu Wu soon met his fourth son.

However, as soon as Liu Wu touched his fourth son, his hands froze.

[Congratulations to the host for giving birth to a son, who has a complex and multifaceted personality. The system’s comprehensive evaluation shows that the highest compatibility with the seventh emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, is 83%. If the compatibility exceeds 60%, you can make a match. ]

[Congratulations to the host for giving birth to a son. Do you want to pretend to be Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Che? After pretending to be Liu Che, the child will have the complete talents of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty.]

Liu Wu held his fourth son, who was screaming, with shock in his eyes.

In comparison, the birth of his third son was even more spectacular.

No wonder Liu Wu was so shocked!
He actually tried to scam Emperor Wu of Han. How could Liu Wu not feel frightened?

That was Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che!
The seventh emperor of the Western Han Dynasty (reigned 141-87 BC), regarded by later generations as an outstanding politician, military strategist, strategist, and writer. Son of Emperor Jing of Han, Liu Qi, and Queen Wang.

Is Liu Che a powerful person? This question, picked up from the long river of history, is undoubtedly a discussion full of depth and breadth. Liu Che, also known as Emperor Wu of Han, his life deeds, political wisdom, military talents and cultural contributions are enough to prove that he was an extremely powerful monarch.

Political wisdom.

Liu Che’s political wisdom was fully demonstrated. He was well aware of the threat that the excessive power of the princes posed to the central government, so he cleverly adopted policies such as the Enfeoffment Order to gradually weaken the power of the princes and strengthen the central government’s control over the local governments. At the same time, he established the Central Court, weakened the power of the prime minister, and concentrated the power of the government in the hands of the emperor. This series of political reforms not only consolidated the imperial power, but also laid a solid foundation for the long-term development of the Han Dynasty. In addition, Liu Che also attached importance to the construction of the supervision system, established official positions such as the Inspector General, strengthened the supervision and management of local officials, and effectively curbed corruption and other unhealthy trends.

Military talent: expanding territory and making everyone fear him.

Liu Che’s military talents and achievements are equally remarkable. He changed the early Han Dynasty’s policy of marriage with the Xiongnu, took the initiative to send outstanding generals such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to fight against the Xiongnu many times, and finally eliminated the threat of the Xiongnu to the Han Dynasty. This series of military actions not only demonstrated Liu Che’s wise decision-making and bravery, but also greatly expanded the territory of the Han Dynasty and enhanced the Han Dynasty’s status in the world at that time. In addition, Liu Che also sent troops to conquer Minyue, Dong’ou, Nanyue, Wei’s Korea and other places, managed the Southwest Yi, set up counties, and further consolidated the ruling foundation of the Han Dynasty.

Culturally,
Liu Che adopted Dong Zhongshu’s suggestion of “rejecting all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone” and made Confucianism the ruling ideology. This move not only strengthened the imperial rule, but also promoted the spread and development of Confucian culture. At the same time, he established the Imperial Academy to cultivate talents, laying a solid talent foundation for the long-term development of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che made contributions to the Han Dynasty and history, but he was not a perfect man and made many mistakes.

Reflection and transformation in later years: Have the courage to admit mistakes and show imperial demeanor.

As an emperor, Liu Che had the courage to admit his mistakes, reflect on his faults and issue a self-criticism edict in his later years.

He demonstrated the demeanor and responsibility of an emperor throughout the ages.

He realized that his superstition, suspicion and militarism had brought great disasters to the country and the people, so he publicly reflected on his mistakes to the people of the Han Dynasty and adjusted his ruling policy, which brought the rule of the Western Han Dynasty back to the track of resting with the people and focusing on economic development. Although this move came late, it played an important role in stabilizing the situation of the Western Han Dynasty and prolonging the country’s prosperity.

Liu Che was undoubtedly an extremely powerful monarch. He made outstanding achievements and contributions in many fields such as politics, military affairs, and culture. In Liu Wu’s opinion, he was worthy of being an emperor of the ages.

However, when Liu Wu looked at the crying little guy in his arms, he felt a little numb.

He didn’t have this feeling when facing the three sons who were trying to scam him or the old man Liu Bang.

However, facing this fourth son, he felt something different.

Perhaps it was because Emperor Wu of Han was decisive in killing and his imperial majesty was so great that he was in awe just by learning about it from historical relics.

“It’s Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che!” Liu Wu took a deep breath and gave his fourth son his father’s deep love.

Liu Wu is so powerful that he can pick up Emperor Wu of Han and spank him!

[Congratulations to the host for giving birth to a son, who is Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che. The child has all the talents and qualifications of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che. ]

[Host’s progress in obtaining the second ability: 5/6]

“Sister, are you okay? Congratulations, you’ve given birth to another big fat boy, and a good nephew for me!” In the delivery room, Mi Zhu, with a happy face, congratulated Mrs. Mi with a smile.

Liu Wu, who was standing by, came to his senses and looked at the happy Mi Zhu. He also felt that the other party should be happy, and even celebrated with drums and gongs, because his nephew, with the help and guidance of his father Liu Wu, was destined to have an extraordinary future.

Similarly, the Mi family will probably have other unprecedented opportunities because of this good nephew.

However, Liu Wu couldn’t help but think about another thing.

Heir!
Yes, although he gave birth to many geniuses, he still inevitably had to face the issue of heirs.

In ancient times, the choice of a country’s successor was extremely important.

It not only concerns the smooth transition of the throne, but also directly affects the country’s long-term stability and future development.

A suitable heir can carry on the past and lead the country towards prosperity; if the wrong choice is made, it may trigger a palace coup, social unrest, and even lead to the destruction of the country.

Therefore, emperors of all dynasties attached great importance to the training and selection of heirs, and through strict examination and training, they ensured that the country would be inherited by a wise and capable monarch.

But it’s not easy.

Throughout history, there are so many bloody examples of dynasties that show how difficult it is to complete the transfer of power, have a smooth transition, and select an outstanding successor.

And a more critical issue.

All of Liu Wu’s wives, including Madam Mi, Madam Gan, Madam Sun, Cai Xun and others, were actually concubines.

His real wife was married to him in his early years in Hefei, before he took over Liu Bei’s power.

In other words, whether it was Liu Mu, Liu Wei, Liu Zheng or the fourth son who was just born to Emperor Liu Che, they were all illegitimate sons!!!
