Ever since Emperor Jianwu heard from Mr. Liu about the many interesting things outside the palace, he had been eager to go out and see for himself.
It so happened that the Grand Tutor that Prince Kang had found for him had punished him for not studying hard, making him write two more essays every day. He also told Prince Kang about Emperor Jianwu's penchant for play over study, which led Prince Kang to give Emperor Jianwu a stern lecture.
As Prince Kang restricted Emperor Jianwu from playing, Emperor Jianwu became even more determined to do the opposite.
That day, Emperor Jianwu threatened Mr. Liu to take him outside the palace.
