At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

"That's just a bit of wine. I'm not drunk." Wen Yan waved her hand and insisted that Ren Hao go forward.

In the end, Ren Hao had no choice but to bend down and go up to the emperor from the left side.

"My dear Ren, do you know why I asked you to come up?" Wen Yan asked.

"I'm not a worm in your stomach, how would I know why you want me to come up?" Ren Hao thought to himself. He couldn't just tell the emperor that he didn't know, as that would be a loss of kindness.

So, he bowed and said ambiguously: "I am deeply loved by your majesty."

"Loyalty is one thing, and on the other hand, you are the prince's tutor, his future teacher."

"I hope you can teach the prince well in the future and treat him as your own son." Wen Yan said with a double meaning.

"Thanks for your trust, Your Majesty. I will never let you down. I will do my best to teach the prince in the future." Ren Hao promised flattered, and the ministers under the imperial platform looked at each other, not knowing what they were thinking.

"Mr. Ren, please pick up the prince." Wen Yan ordered.

"Your Majesty..." Ren Hao quickly refused, but before he could utter the words "I dare not overstep my authority", Wen Yan had already picked up the little prince Liu Xiu.

Because she hugged him too suddenly, the little prince started crying loudly.

Wen Yan ignored the little prince's crying and directly put the little prince into Ren Hao's arms.

Faced with the prince who was forced upon him, Ren Hao could only hug him although he was helpless.

The little prince suddenly stopped crying in Ren Hao's arms and even stretched out his little hands.

Ren Hao subconsciously stretched out his index finger to tease the little prince's outstretched hand, which made the little prince laugh softly.

At this time, Ren Hao also felt an inexplicable ripple, a feeling that was very subtle and difficult to describe.

Wen Yan looked at the loving father and smiling son and immediately asked, "Ren Aiqing, what did you feel when you held my prince in your arms?"

Ren Hao was stunned for a few seconds.

What did you feel? This is a question.

He couldn't say that he felt the joy of being a father by holding the little prince in his arms.

This kind of words is nothing for ordinary people, but compared to the emperor who is high above, it is extremely disrespectful.

So, he handed the little prince in his arms to the old eunuch next to him, and took the opportunity to brag: "Your Majesty, the little prince is the future emperor, and when I was holding the little prince just now, I felt the weight of the world."

“If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight; if you want to hold the imperial seal, you must bear its responsibility.”

Ren Hao adapted the second sentence of a Western proverb from his previous life. After all, it is much more convenient to copy something than to create something new.

Regarding Ren Hao's performance of first praising and then flattering, all the officials and the old scholar Ma Qian thought that Ren Hao was the reincarnation of a dragon fart spirit? When he flattered the dragon, he really had one set of tricks after another, and never repeated himself.

"Damn, this kid caught me again."

Zhao Ping'an cursed inwardly, feeling very unhappy.

But Chen Yushi and Xu Qing next to them, as well as Li Shiji and Shen He at the back, all looked as if they had learned something.

"It is a good saying that if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight; if you want to hold the imperial seal, you must bear its responsibility."

"Ren Aiqing, you described it very well."

"Not only will I remember this sentence forever, but all emperors in future generations will also remember it." Wen Yan nodded as if she pleased me very much.

When Ma Qian, who was in the audience, heard that the emperor wanted to remember this proverb, he was extremely envious and jealous.

After all, their Confucian scholars created so many proverbs, but I have never seen Your Majesty be so concerned about remembering them and want future emperors to remember them.

What an honor this is! I am so envious of him.

"My dear ministers, please take your time to eat and drink. I am a little tired now and will not accompany you."

Wen Yan stood up at this time, and all the ministers and officials in the court stood up one after another to see His Majesty off from the palace.

As the emperor left, the ministers, who had eaten and drunk their fill, all said goodbye to each other.

……

On the other side, a dark shadow flashed quickly outside the bedroom where Liu Hao lived, and a bamboo slip fell into Liu Hao's bedroom.

Liu Hao heard the sound of something falling, got up from the bed and picked up the bamboo tube on the ground.

He opened the bamboo tube and found several notes inside.

The contents of the note were all about how Ren Hao requested His Majesty to kill him in the palace, and how the Prime Minister's faction headed by Zhao Ping'an wanted to kill Peng Wen.

He was not surprised that Peng Wen was going to be killed. His purpose in bringing Peng Wen back to the capital to worship his ancestors was to make him take the blame.

After all, since the plan of changing the territory and establishing a new country failed, he would have to take the scapegoat and become a stepping stone for him to unify the world.

As for Ren Hao's request to His Majesty to kill him, Liu Hao was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. It was completely beyond his expectations.

If this boy is not eliminated, he will be a great threat to his unification of the world.

He saw himself clearly, without any disguise.

Liu Hao once again felt the urge to kill Ren Hao, but he was at a loss as to how to get rid of Ren Hao.

"It seems like it's time to ask him for help." Liu Hao muttered to himself, tearing up all the papers in his hand and swallowing them into his mouth to avoid leaving any clues.

A few days later, at the Yongling ceremony, all the ministers and officials wore black to attend.

The ceremony was presided over by the emperor himself, who burned incense and offered sacrifices such as cattle, sheep, fine wine, and grains to Emperor Hanzu.

After the emperor offered incense, it was the King of Linnan, the Three Dukes, and the Nine Ministers in that order.

After everyone had offered incense to Emperor Hanzu, the emperor and all his ministers and officials would kneel in front of the mausoleum and pray that Emperor Hanzu, who had transformed into a dragon and returned to heaven, would protect the Han Dynasty.

The entire ceremony lasts from morning to noon.

After the ceremony was over, Wen Yan stood in front of the tomb of Emperor Hanzu and waved to the imperial guards on both sides. These imperial guards immediately stepped forward and hit Peng Wen with long spears.

Wen Yan questioned Peng Wen who was accompanying Liu Hao, "Peng Wen, you deceived the emperor and instigated the King of Linnan to change his fiefdom and attempt to rebel. Do you admit your guilt in front of Emperor Han Zu?"

"Hmph, I'm afraid you can't kill me yet."

"My Peng family has a golden medal of immunity from death bestowed by Emperor Hanzu. Emperor Hanzu promised Peng family that he would not kill us if we saw the sky, the earth, the water, or iron."

Peng Wen took out a black iron token from his sleeve.

In the middle of the token are the words "free from death", with dragon patterns on both sides.

All the ministers and officials present looked at each other in amazement. This was the first time they had seen the legendary golden medal of immunity from death.

At this time, Peng Wen was holding the golden medal of immunity from death, looking extremely arrogant.

He had even forgotten how his ancestor Peng He died, and he treated this broken sign as a treasure.

"Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided."

"Someone come here." Wen Yan had already thought of a countermeasure and waved to the imperial guards standing on both sides.
