#80Chapter 80 Death of Chen Xi, Emperor Wu's descendants
Chen Xi and the other two looked at each other, but in the end no words could be said.
Can they continue to persuade the emperor to rule the country?
Can't convince.
Because the issue of "offspring" is the most important issue - an emperor has no offspring, even after being on the throne for five years! How serious is this problem?
It can be said to be a problem of "shaking the foundation of the country."
Why did the throne pass to the descendants of Emperor Wen? Wasn't it because Emperor Hui had no children?
However, the reason why Emperor Hui had no children was simply because of Empress Lü's control. Empress Lü was unwilling to let other women give birth to Emperor Hui's children, and Emperor Hui did not want anything to happen with his niece, so the stalemate continued, which eventually led to Emperor Hui having no children.
Chen Xi subconsciously glanced at Liu Che, with a hint of hesitation and suspicion in his eyes.
Emperor Hui had no offspring because he didn't want to have any. What's the reason for the current emperor?
Emperor Hui's harem wasn't very large back then, but now he doesn't seem to have any problems at all. There are many women in the harem, as well as women offered by his sisters, but he still has no children...
If Chen Xi had not known that Liu Che would definitely have children, even though he would not have too many offspring, he would still have six sons and six daughters, making six pairs of dragons and phoenixes, he would have suspected Liu Che's health problems at this time.
Facing Chen Xi's questioning look, Liu Che appeared calm on the surface, but in fact he was feeling helpless and anxious in his heart.
This is a big deal!
But there is really nothing wrong with his body!
In the second year of his reign, he secretly consulted the imperial physician, and found no problems at all. He even had plenty of "energy" and it was common for him to have sex with several women in one night and sleep with them in the same bed.
How could there be something wrong with my body?
Therefore, Liu Che, who should have taken power as soon as the Empress Dowager and the Grand Empress Dowager had become "obedient", was not in a hurry to take power. He even gave all the power he had in his hands to Chen Xi, Zhou Yafu, and Chen Qing.
He must hurry up and make the most of the time to give birth to a firstborn son for himself!
This is to prove that there is nothing wrong with my body!
Looking at Liu Che's expression, Chen Xi also understood Liu Che's worries, so he slowly sighed and said, "Since that's the case, then we will no longer force Your Majesty."
His expression remained serious. "Your Majesty, you will still have to rule the country yourself. As for the court affairs after you take over, the three of us will assist Your Majesty."
In a nutshell - you can be a mascot and we will do everything, but you must control the power and hold all these things in your own hands!
It absolutely cannot be like this now!
Liu Che hesitated slightly and then agreed directly.
.... ....
In the fifth year of Emperor Wu's reign, the weather was freezing cold and there was heavy snow.
Under the gaze of countless people, Empress Dowager Dou Yifang finally came to the end of her life. However, this time, she was not despised by Emperor Wu as in history - after all, compared with Empress Dowager Wang, Empress Dowager Dou did not interfere too much in Emperor Wu's "state affairs".
On the one hand, it is because of Chen, and on the other hand, it is because this "Emperor Wu of Han" has reached adulthood and his style is much more mature than the original one.
After Liu Che ascended the throne, he was thinking about conquering the barbarians, and almost completely destroyed the foundation laid by Emperors Wen and Jing of Han. That's why Empress Dowager Dou decided to depose Liu Che.
Now Liu Che was only thinking about having a child, so of course he did not offend Dou Yifang's bottom line.
This old lady has only one bottom line in her life - that is to protect her husband's reputation and her son's hard work. Among them, protecting her husband's reputation is the real bottom line.
Although it is always said that the sun and the moon are the highest and the moon is the closest, and husband and wife are the closest and the most distant, there was some affection between Dou Yifang and Emperor Wen of Han.
After the death of the Empress Dowager, the entire Kyoto was in mourning, and Liu Che was really sad and shed a few tears - he still had some affection for Dou Yifang, who did not interfere with or touch his interests.

Guandu Marquis Mansion
Chen Yi and Chen Yi sat there cautiously, looking at Chen Xi and Chen Qing in front of them, with a hint of caution in their brows.
Although they are considered the young talents of the Chen family, they are just juniors in front of these two "big brothers".
As for Chen Xi and the other two?
They looked at the "books" in their hands with a look of admiration on their faces.
"Did you two come up with this?"
Chen Yi and Chen Yi exchanged a glance, and then Chen Yi spoke first, "Uncle, this is what happened."
He pondered and said, "Back then, the two of us read through the classics in the library and had some ideas in mind. Later, we discussed it with Brother Chen Wei and finally came up with this idea."
"I came to Chang'an this time to promote my own ideas."
After a slight hesitation, Chen Xi looked at the two and said, "Let's just put them there for now. Now is not the time to bring up these things."
He gathered the things slightly and then sighed, "In a few days I will ask for His Majesty's grace to grant you two the status of Xiaolian and then grant you official positions."
"Beside His Majesty, you must study hard and not slack off."
After hearing this, the two did not have any special reaction. They knew that Chen Xi would not harm them, so they immediately nodded in response.
Chen Qing, who was standing aside, had a look of hesitation on his face.
After the two men left, Chen Qingcai slowly said: "Brother, is your body...?"
Chen Xi smiled casually: "Yes, my health...is not very good."
There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
He first came to the world during the reign of Emperor Wen, and now it is the reign of Emperor Wu. He spanned the eras of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, and his health is not very good.
In recent days, when the imperial physician took his pulse, he always advised him gently, hoping that he could take good care of his health.
But he knows his own business, and that's how long his lifespan is.
"The next generation of the Chen family isn't particularly brilliant. If I pass away, the entire Chen family will fall on your shoulders."
He looked at Chen Qing and said, "You must take good care of yourself and do not get involved in court affairs. Just follow His Majesty's lead."
"Your Majesty may have the stature of a ruthless and heroic ruler, but he would not betray his promise and purge the Chen family."
This is also the reason why he helped Liu Che to clean up Queen Mother Wang before.
... ....
In the sixth year of Emperor Wu's reign, winter.
It's winter again.
During the heavy snowfall, Emperor Wu, who was trying hard to have a child in the palace, suddenly heard a piece of news.
A piece of news that made him heartbroken and filled with mixed joy and anger.
