When the spirit of Mount Tai saw Liu Xie, he said something meaningful.
After that, it said no more, nor looked at Liu Xie and the others, but focused on the strange pool.
However, its words shocked several people present.
Especially Chi Long and Liu Hong, they looked at each other after being shocked, with complicated expressions on their faces.
The eldest prince Liu Bian was short-lived, while the younger prince Liu Xie was long-lived...and this long life would surprise the spirit of Mount Tai. He probably wouldn't be as short-lived as other late emperors. Long life, explained from the side, also means that life is hard.
If you have a hard life, you won't fall so easily. If you don't die, your life will be long.
According to actual history, Liu Xie did have a long life.
From 181 AD to 234 AD, he died at the age of 53. He was the second oldest emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, second only to Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu. He lived longer from head to tail. One is an emperor with great ambitions who had the talent to found the country, and the other is a puppet emperor. And those who can do something in the middle are all short-lived, just like the reincarnation of God's will.
Putting aside his ups and downs and humiliating experience as emperor, he has been emperor for 31 years! (189-220)
This value is not short for the emperor's reign.
In the empty hall, only the sound of movement from the pool was echoing at this moment.
Empress Dowager Dong took Liu Xie and quickly came to Liu Hong's side.
"Father." Liu Xie respectfully performed a rather standardized Longting etiquette to Liu Hong. Although he is young, he is very well-mannered.
Liu Hong looked at Liu Xie, who was quite fond of him, and frowned slightly.
For these two sons, he liked the little prince Liu Xie quite a lot. After all, he grew up with the Queen Mother. He could often see Liu Xie when he went to pay homage to the Queen Mother, so he naturally felt a little emotional.
Because Liu Bian grew up with a Taoist priest, he was quite alienated, and the relationship between father and son weakened. He felt more guilty towards the eldest prince Liu Bian.
If he hadn't seen the shadow of the divine cauldron before, he might have brought Liu Xie over first.
At this moment, Liu Hong hesitated again... He had been wavering on the choice of prince because various emotions were affecting him.
Let’s take a look first…
"Your Majesty, I brought Xie'er here to win a chance for him." Empress Dowager Dong said forcefully.
When Empress Dowager Dong came over, she had already considered the situation thoroughly. The key figures are mysterious beings floating in mid-air, but Chilong and Han Emperor Liu Hong are the decision-makers. Especially Han Emperor Liu Hong, he is the real decider of that opportunity!
"If I had known, I wouldn't have told my mother about this..." A look of struggle appeared on Liu Hong's face.
It turned out that Liu Hong had mentioned it when he visited Empress Dowager Dong before. Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Dong intervened for Liu Xie's sake despite Liu Hong's objections.
Liu Hong has actually made the decision to only take Liu Bian and not Liu Xie, but now...
When the spirit of Mount Tai, who was pictured with an old god, heard this, his mouth twitched. Liu Hong, the emperor, was really slow in handling family affairs and not decisive at all. Regarding family matters, he is like a novice.
If it were Lin Mu... maybe it would be different.
Hmm...why are you comparing Lin Mu again...
The Spirit of Mount Tai lowered his eyes again, looking at the increasingly turbulent pool with a touch of expectation.
Liu Hong glanced at the pool, then at the Spirit of Mount Tai and the Red Dragon, and hesitated...
"Your Majesty." Empress Dowager Dong called again.
Even if she didn't say it explicitly, her meaning and attitude were obvious.
Liu Bian and Liu Xie are both her grandsons, but there is only one chance and one position. After weighing it, even if there is bias.
This is the root of the cruelty of the royal family.
Seeing Liu Hong's hesitation, Empress Dowager Dong did not press forward step by step. She glanced at the red dragon, bowed respectfully to it, and then looked at the spirit of Mount Tai floating in the air.
"Senior, this little lady has a question, can you please clarify it?"
"Say." The spirit of Mount Tai cherishes words like gold. But a word also expresses its attitude.
"Why is the dragon vein of my great Han Dynasty always as thin as paper?" Empress Dowager Dong was slightly happy. After a pause, she asked the question that the Liu family's children had always wanted to ask.
The dragon veins she said were like paper were referring to the issue of the Liu family's emperor's heirs.
The emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, and his concubines are in the clouds. Having ten or eight children is considered a small number, but the Liu family's emperors have not had many male connections in recent years.
The other princes and princes have extremely prosperous heirs...
This is a very taboo issue in the Liu family.
Usually, those ministers and even the eunuchs' favorites never dare to discuss this issue. But now facing this existence, I have no choice but to mention it, hoping that there is a solution.
As soon as Empress Dowager Dong's question came up, Liu Hong, Chilong and others also looked at the spirit of Mount Tai. They also want to know what the problem is.
It is impossible to create heirs without working hard. I don't know what other emperors were like, but for Liu Hong, it was hard work day and night, never stopping. But there are still not many men out there...
"Some things are your Liu family's own problems." Taishan Spirit slowly opened his eyes and said softly. Apparently it knows why.
"Are you sure you want me to tell you? This involves the choice of your ancestors..." Taishan Spirit asked with a sigh.
When Chilong heard this, he was shocked, as if he thought of something.
"It involves the ancestors. Could it be that the ancestors caused this for a certain purpose?" Liu Hong said in horror.
It's not that the Liu family doesn't have speculations about this issue. There are always exploration records of each ancestor in the family records, and there are also various speculations. One of them is the price paid when the Eastern Han Dynasty was established!
Taishan Spirit did not respond, and certainly did not refute.
Immediately, Liu Hong and Empress Dowager Dong looked at Chilong, the immortal who witnessed the ups and downs of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu! It's definitely him!
Needless to say, several people had guesses in their minds at the same time.
But because it involved ancestors, they stopped talking about it. Whether the ancestors were right or wrong, for that era and the choices made at that time, cannot determine whether they are right or wrong for future generations.
If there had not been such sacrifice at that time, maybe... there would be no Han Dynasty that followed...
"Senior, is there any solution?" Liu Hong asked eagerly.
"As long as your Han Dynasty can continue." The spirit of Mount Tai said and closed his eyes again.
"Senior..." Several people shouted anxiously.
"If the emperor's descendants are prosperous, then outstanding emperors can be selected. This is a very important event for the world and China. I hope my predecessors can clear up the confusion!" Liu Hong said firmly.
Only at this moment did he feel a sense of perseverance.
You can't even handle two princes well, and you still want more heirs to take over, that's even worse...
"[Flower of the Other Shore]!" After Taishan's spirit pondered for a while, he still said a name.
"[Flower of the Other Shore]..." Empress Dowager Liu Hongdong murmured.
This name is not unfamiliar to Lin Mu. But for Liu Hong, Queen Mother Dong and others, they were unfamiliar. They had only seen it in classics and never seen the real thing.
The solemn look on Queen Mother Liu Hongdong's face disappeared at this moment.
It would be nice to have a solution. You can just spend a lot of money to find it secretly in the future.
If you can’t find it in one year, take three years. If you can’t find it in three years, take ten years. If you can’t find it in ten years, take a hundred years. You will always find it!
"Rumble!!" At this moment, the rippling water suddenly surged, and the huge roar was deafening.
Even across the strange pool of water, the terrifying roar echoed in the palace hall, and the entire hall was shaking. Some of the decorations on the wall fell off due to the vibration, leaving a mess.
The two brothers Liu Xie and Liu Bian were still young, and strange energy enveloped them, protecting them from the aftermath of that energy.
here we go!
"Buzz!!!" I don't know what happened over there, but waves of majestic and vigorous energy came from me.
The pool seemed to be boiling.
"Senior, there shouldn't be any problems on the other side of the passage, right?" Chilong asked in a solemn voice.
"The last Pulse Heart is activated, which means that Lin Mu and the others have faced off against those birdmen."
"They are all smart people. They should withdraw from the passage to China. Let them guard the passage." The spirit of Mount Tai said leisurely.
…
"--Ding!"
