So, Jian Qing, I hope you can assist Shi Hou well after I leave, but you must also protect Dong Hou well. Both of them are my sons, and I love them the same."

"In addition, I have left a will to you and I will rule the emperor with my integrity. We must assist Mr. Shi ascend to the position of Emperor Emperor of Han and protect the safety of Mr. Dong."

As Liu Hong mentioned, Dong Hou and Shi Hou were naturally his two youngest sons Liu Bian and Liu Xie. Dong Hou was Liu Xie and Shi Hou was Liu Bian.

Empress He gave birth to prince Liu Bian. Liu Xie's earliest child died at the beginning, in order to avoid Liu Bian's encounter with the same thing after he was born.

Therefore, after Liu Bian was born, he was not raised in the palace, but in the home of Taoist Shi Ziyun. He did not dare to call his real name Liu Bian, calling him "Shi Hou".

Liu Bian is older than Liu Xie and was born to the queen, so it is the only place to be the position of the prince.

But when Liu Bian was young, he was not educated in the palace, so he was frivolous and did not have the majesty temperament that a monarch should have.

Liu Xie grew up in Yongle Palace since childhood. He was carefully raised by Empress Dowager Dong and behaved dignifiedly, which was deeply loved by Liu Hong.

In addition, his mother, Wang Meiren, died of a bad life, and Emperor Ling was inevitably filled with compassion, so he tended to make Liu Xie the crown prince. However, this was contrary to the royal tradition of establishing an heir and putting the eldest son first, so he could not make up his mind.

Liu Xie raised Empress Dowager Dong since he was a child, and he was dignified in his manner and was called "Dong Hou".

Although Liu Hong liked Liu Xie, he was forced to establish his heir and put the eldest son first in the Han Empire tradition, and finally decided to pass the position of the Emperor of Han to the "Horse of Shi", namely Liu Bian.
