Chapter 1 The Crown Prince

  Three days pass in the blink of an eye.

  The weather was fine today. The heavens were smiling, making it a great day for going out hunting.

  Xu Du, inside the Crown Prince's palace.

  Liu Feng was attended to by the maids, washed and dressed neatly, and then started having breakfast. Just halfway through, Emperor Liu Xie sent someone over to look for him.

  "Your Highness, it's time to depart."

  A eunuch stood in front of him and bowed to Liu Feng.

  "It doesn't matter. I'm sure the civil and military officials won't mind if Father Emperor is late for a moment." Liu Feng said with a smile, looking very nonchalant.

  "Uh......"

  This eunuch was almost choked by Liu Feng's words, but indeed, if the emperor is late for a moment, it should not provoke the ministers' criticism.

  Liu Feng couldn't help but burst out laughing. This little eunuch must be new, and didn't even know who he was, yet he dared to urge him on when he was notoriously late.

  Zhoa Yun, wearing armor, sat solemnly on his knees behind Liu Feng. He turned a blind eye to what was happening in front of him. Having been with Liu Feng for three days, he understood Liu Feng's temperament and intentions.

  Zhao Yun had already guessed a few points, but there was one set for the people and another set behind their backs. As the crown prince, he was originally the heir of the great Han dynasty, destined to be the ruler of the world.

  But he has to pretend to be foolish in front of others, and some people may think that Liu Feng is clever enough to know how to behave humbly at the age of eight, which is indeed a deep city.

  But in the eyes of Zhao Yun and other loyal and righteous scholars, it was very heart-wrenching.

  "If I were as powerful as you, General Zhao, why would you have ended up like this?" Zhao Yun's heart felt ashamed, his left hand gripping the hilt of his sword tightly, the veins on his hand bulging out.

  "Alright, let's go." Liu Feng didn't expect Zhao Yun to have such a feeling in his heart. After finishing his meal, he reached out and took the handkerchief from the table, wiped his mouth casually, and stood up.

  The Crown Prince is still in the Un央 Palace.

  Dong Xi hastily let out a loud cry.

  Liu Feng led Zhao Yun and Dong Xi, along with the Grand General, to set out for Weiyang Palace.

  In front of the Weiyang Palace, the imperial carriage had already stopped there. In addition to the imperial carriage, there were many armored soldiers, ceremonial guards, and attendants such as palace eunuchs and palace maids.

  Show royal demeanor.

  Liu Feng, who was sitting in the cart, had sharp eyes and saw that Emperor Liu Xie had already taken his seat. It was clear that he had been waiting for a long time. However, Liu Feng clearly did not intend to apologize.

  When the two teams met, Liu Feng sat on the cart and bowed his fist to Liu Xie: "Let's wait for Father Emperor."

  If we look at it from the perspective of ruler and subject, father and son, Liu Feng's move can be considered extremely rude. It can be regarded as disobedience, but most people have already gotten used to it.

  Pretend you didn't see anything.

  Liu Xie just smiled and said, "It's just a short wait, what's the big deal? This is the first time the crown prince has gone hunting outside the palace. I'm delighted."

  Liu Xie continued, "The Great Han was founded by Emperor Wu, and in the beginning, Emperors Gaozu and Guangwu were not afraid of strong armies and fierce generals. They led their troops to comfort the people, and only then could they contend for the throne and achieve the honor of being emperor. As the crown prince, this hunting trip has great significance."

  "Don't worry, Father Emperor, I'll definitely hunt down a big bear for you later." Liu Feng said with a smile.

  Father and son exchanged a knowing glance, smiled slightly, and understood each other without saying a word.

  "Move the imperial chariot to the outskirts of the city." Liu Xie immediately ordered.

  The Son of Heaven is driving his chariot in the suburbs.

  As Liu Xie's close eunuch Chen Guang let out a shrill cry, the Emperor, the Crown Prince's carriage, and the imperial chariot went out of the palace.

  The team quickly left the palace and came onto the main street.

  At this moment, there were many guards standing on both sides of the main street to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation to harm the emperor. In addition to the guards, many civilians also knelt down on the ground.

  Royal majesty, the Son of Heaven is the supreme ruler with the dragon flying in the sky. This scene fully reveals it.

  But in Liu Feng's view on the carriage, it was quite sarcastic. For now, those who think the emperor's dignity is inviolable are probably just these common people.

  However, as time passed, even ordinary people would know who was in charge between Cao and Liu. In the end, dignity was lost, while power was no longer present.

  The Son of Heaven, however.

  Liu Feng's mouth corner revealed a cold smile.

  "Is Your Highness going out of the palace for the first time?" At this moment, Zhao Yun rode his horse close to Liu Feng's carriage, seeing Liu Feng's focused expression, and asked.

  "Not anymore. In those years, I also experienced the war between Li and Guo, escaping from Chang'an for a few days. And even more so, experiencing the ups and downs of life. However, after arriving in Xudu, it was indeed my first time leaving the palace." Liu Feng shook his head and said.

  Zhao Yun was shocked by what he heard. Li and Guo fought each other, escaping from Chang'an. That was several years ago, when the crown prince was only a few years old? Three years old? Four years old?

  It wasn't until now that Zhao Yun realized he had been gifted since birth. No wonder he could scheme against others at the age of eight.

  Although this was not Liu Feng's first time out of the palace, it was also a rare opportunity to leave the palace after several years. Liu Feng himself quickly shifted from those major events to the current one.

  To be honest, Cao Cao's governing ability is still pretty good

  The city walls and moats were well-governed by him. Although the atmosphere was ruined due to the emperor's trip, one or two things could still be seen from the shops on both sides of the street.

  This city is indeed a good city.

  If obtained, it is equivalent to the power of a state, and can support tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

  Although he said that Liu Feng wanted to put aside the big things and focus on the present, unconsciously, Liu Feng thought of Wang Tu's tyranny again. This life is really too insecure.

  Always thinking, even when wanting to take a rest, it's still habitual to think.

  Liu Feng let out a bitter laugh.

  Because he couldn't focus on what was in front of him, Liu Feng simply closed his eyes and pretended to be meditating.

  Before long, the large group of people left the city and arrived at the outskirts. The outskirts had a hunting ground, where the Son of Heaven went hunting, which was not actually hunting, but rather a special arena.

  And were guarded by special personnel, and all large prey were hunted. Only some small or gentle prey remained. After the emperor's arrival, the soldiers in charge of guarding would drive these gentle prey to a place.

  This is hunting.

  To be honest, there is no technical content at all.

  On the edge of the forest, on the lawn, there are many armored warriors standing. In addition to the armored warriors, a open-air platform has been set up, with the throne of the Son of Heaven placed on it, as well as dozens of seats.

  When Liu Xie and Liu Feng's carriage arrived, Cao Cao had already led many civil and military officials to wait for a long time.

  "I pay homage to the Son of Heaven, the Crown Prince."

  "Everyone in the house is safe."

  Liu Xie raised his hand and said on the chariot.

  Further back, Liu Feng had already descended from the chariot and was looking at a group of people in front. The only three people he recognized were Cao Cao, his uncle Fu Wan, and Xun Yu.

  The rest of the people don't know each other at all.

  However, each of the military generals looked very brave, and each of the scholars looked very capable. They were obviously all elites within the Cao group.

  Xiahou Dun, Zhang Liao, Yu Jin, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Zhu Ling and others were all fierce generals.

  Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun and others were all trusted advisors.

  "It's indeed a powerful force." Although they didn't know each other, Liu Feng thought of those names in his heart and couldn't help but sigh. In this aspect, he had to admit defeat.
