Great Han: The Champion Marquis Is Still Striving for the Crown Prince

In the first year of Yuanshuo, Wei Zifu gave birth to Emperor Wu of Han's first son. At just twelve years old, Huo Qubing was summoned to the palace. He began a happy life at the emperor's side, helping look after the emperor's child whenever he had nothing else to do. What amazed the young Marquis of Champion, however, was that he seemed to share a strange telepathic connection with his cousin, the crown prince. After hearing countless shocking remarks and enduring constant chatter for a long time, Huo Qubing finally lost patience. He brought his cousin the crown prince before him and spoke solemnly. “First: You are the crown prince, so stop feeling sorry for yourself! Second: His Majesty clearly likes you, so stop speaking ill of him. Third: I've remembered everything you said about not drinking raw water, eating cooked food, and paying attention to hygiene. When I go on campaign, stop rambling inside my head! Fourth: From now on, open your mouth when you talk to me!” As Huo Qubing earnestly lectured him, Liu Ju nodded seriously. At the same time, a voice rang out in Huo Qubing's mind. “So, I don't want to become the disgraced Crown Prince. Cousin, you'll do your best to help me, right?” Many years later, the crown prince of Great Han, Liu Ju, set out on his first imperial campaign. Looking at the troops arrayed before him, he spoke excitedly in his mind. “Cousin, it's time to show off your tactical genius!” “Do you think I should move the cavalry formation five feet to the left?” (Xuanwu Gate succession politics + farming + reform + daily life + large cast of intelligent characters.
