I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 109 Two Finger Thick 'Goose' Ribs

Full of guilt for his grandmother, Queen Mother Dou, he returned to Weiyang Palace, said goodbye to his mother, Mrs. Jia, and brother Liu Pengzu, and stayed in the palace for another night;
In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Liu Sheng simply packed up a few changes of clothes, and came outside Changle Palace again.

Besides himself, Liu Sheng also made a special trip to the Xuanming Palace and called his fifth brother Liu Fei.

Empress Dowager Dou didn't say much about Liu Fei's appearance, she just nodded with a warm smile.

"Since you're here, let's all come on the chariot..."

Speaking lovingly, Empress Dowager Dou did not forget to wave to brothers Liu Sheng and Liu Fei outside the car;
Seeing this situation, Liu Fei suddenly became a little nervous, and quickly waved his hands subconsciously.

"The emperor, the emperor's grandmother;"

"Why don't you just follow the car, grandson?"

Seeing Liu Fei's embarrassment, Empress Dowager Dou didn't show any strange expression, she just nodded indifferently.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Liu Fei's words, Liu Sheng on the side also raised his head hesitantly: "Grandmother;"

"Since Fifth Brother won't get in the car, then grandson is also outside the car, accompanying Fifth Brother?"

The same sentence came out of Liu Sheng's mouth, but Empress Dou's expression suddenly sank.

"—Since they are connected together, come on the chariot for me!"

"It's a hundred miles away from Shanglin Garden, I don't have the energy to walk all the way with you two boys..."

Hearing this, the two brothers lowered their heads at the same time;
——Liu Sheng obviously hasn't been able to adjust from the guilt caused by persuading the Queen Mother Dou in order not to be "persecuted" by the emperor Qi.

As for Liu Fei, he felt somewhat uncomfortable with such a loving Queen Mother Dou.

But the queen mother has spoken, and the two brothers have no reason to refuse;
They looked at each other for a while, encouraged and encouraged each other, and then got into the chariot of Empress Dowager Dou.

But what Liu Sheng doesn't know is: this is the fifth son of the emperor, Liu Fei, who is sitting so close to his own grandmother, the Queen Mother Dou, for the first time...
·
"Eat slowly~"

"This child..."

After arriving at Shanglin Garden, the three grandparents of Empress Dowager Dou did not immediately go to the palace where the emperor Liu Qi was, but stayed in another palace;
It is rare to come to Chang'an once, and it is obvious that Empress Dowager Dou feels a lot more relaxed when she comes to Shanglin Garden to breathe.

On the night of arriving at Shanglin Garden, Empress Dowager Dou kept brothers Liu Sheng and Liu Fei to have dinner together.

Looking at Liu Fei in front of him, who was busy devouring the food, a touch of kindness immediately appeared on Empress Dowager Dou's face.

Hearing Empress Dowager Dou's reminder, Liu Fei also hurriedly stopped, and then ate the roasted meat in front of him in small bites;

It's just that Liu Fei's gluttonous eating speed still hasn't slowed down no matter how "small mouthful" he is...

"Fifth brother, this is a rare taste..."

Just as he was about to explain something to Liu Fei, he saw Empress Dowager Dou turning her head leisurely and staring at her eyes indistinctly, which made Liu Sheng swallow the words in her mouth.

"Goose;"

"Fifth brother, it's rare to taste goose meat once, so I don't care about the taste..."

Seeing Liu Sheng hastily changed his words, Empress Dowager Dou turned around with a warm smile, and enjoyed the food in front of her.

And at Liu Sheng's side, within a few short sentences, Liu Fei, the fifth son of the emperor, couldn't hold back anymore, and started to gobble up again.

——Rules set by Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang: Except for court sacrifices, it is not allowed to kill or injure cattle in any name!
And this rule, the original text in "Qin Law" is: those who steal horses will die, and those who steal cattle will die.

This means that whoever steals a horse will be punished with death; stealing a cow will be punished with a crime of death.

In today's Han Dynasty, although the "Law of the Han Dynasty" was evaluated by countless scholars in later generations as the most direct evidence of "Han inheriting the Qin system", compared with the "Law of Qin" that frequently sat down and punished clans, the law of the Han Dynasty Obviously, there is a little more human touch.

It's like the same sentence, "Those who steal horses will die, and those who steal cattle will gain more", but there is an additional clause in the "Han Law";
——If you plead guilty with a correct attitude, and do not harm the stolen cattle and horses, and return the stolen cattle and horses to the owners, you can change the "capital crime" into a "fine", that is, a fine.

But then again: Although today's "Han Law" is a softer and more humane version of "Qin Law" 2.0, when it comes to the issue of cattle and horses, the legal provisions of the Han Dynasty are still the same. maintain a high level of punishment.

For example: those who hurt cattle will die, those who kill cattle will be added, those who kill or injure horses for no reason will be cut in half and abandoned!

As for the reason, of course, compared with Ying Qin who was able to control the Hetao grassland a hundred years ago, the Han Dynasty today has no decent place to raise horses at all;

If there is no place to raise horses, there is naturally no place to raise cattle.

This caused the scarcity of horses and cattle, and caused the natural disadvantages of the Han Dynasty in terms of internal affairs and foreign expeditions.

——The lack of horses means the lack of cavalry, which cannot erase the restraint of "infantry against cavalry" when the Han Dynasty faced the Xiongnu;

And the lack of cattle means that cattle farming, which had already arisen in Qin Dynasty, did not have the soil for large-scale implementation in the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, in order to protect the cattle and horses, Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang set an example and set the rules: no one is allowed to use cattle and horse meat as food!

This has led to the fact that in today's world, the only one who can disregard the imperial edict of Taizu Gao and eat beef without any scruples can only be the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace who is a head taller than the emperor...
"Why doesn't Xiaojiu eat?"

While he was thinking about it, Empress Dowager Dou's concerned greeting came to his ears, causing Liu Sheng to sit up quickly, then shook his head with a stiff smile;

"Grandson is not hungry."

Unexpectedly, before Liu Sheng finished speaking, the plate in front of Liu Sheng was full of two-finger-wide 'goose' ribs, and was hugged by Liu Fei beside him;
"Xiao Jiu doesn't eat, I will!"

"hey-hey······"

Seeing Liu Fei pulling the meat plate, he fell into the "manic (made)" mode again. Queen Mother Dou just shook her head and smiled, then put down the chopsticks in her hand and cast her eyes on Liu Sheng.

"Didn't I come to Shanglin Garden?"

"Is it possible that the emperor can really send Xiao Jiufeng to Changsha?"

"Furthermore, I have to nod and seal the imperial edicts of the princes and kings before they can send out Changle;"

"With me here, what else is Xiao Jiu worried about?"

Listening to the gentle tone of Empress Dowager Dou, Liu Sheng's already stiff smile was completely suppressed at this moment.

Instead, there was a lingering sense of guilt.

"Grandson..."

"Grandson always feels that it is wrong to invite the emperor's grandmother to Shanglin Garden..."

"I feel that my grandson compromised with his father and tricked his grandmother into Shanglin for his own benefit..."

Seeing that Liu Shengman was full of guilt, he lowered his head while talking, but Empress Dowager Dou just shook her head and sighed;
After a long time, Empress Dowager Dou looked at Liu Sheng with a look of love.

"Xiao Jiu has this kind of heart, that's enough;"

"Xiao Jiu's difficulty, I understand..."

"Put your heart back in your stomach, so that you can eat this meal of 'goose' raw, and grow a pair of strong bones like the fifth child;"

"I really feel sorry for me, so I will look for Jia Ji again, and find a marriage for Xiao Jiu, so that I can give birth to a great-great-grandson as soon as possible..."

As soon as these words came out, the shame on Liu Sheng's face disappeared, and he became inexplicably ashamed;
As for Liu Fei on the side, he also finished eating the goose ribs for two people at the moment, and then cast a gloating look at Liu Sheng, the younger brother beside him.

"That's it!"

"Xiao Jiu is in her teens, but her marriage has not been settled yet;"

"Hurry up to find a marriage and give birth to a great-great-grandson for the emperor's grandmother. This is the top priority!"

With Empress Dowager Dou deliberately active, and Liu Fei, who is not a big deal to watch the excitement, clamoring, the atmosphere in the hall became more relaxed;
After Liu Sheng nodded with a wry smile, and stood up full of shame and cupped his hands, Empress Dowager Dou smiled and waved her hand, signaling Liu Sheng to sit down.

When Liu Sheng finally picked up the chopsticks and began to enjoy another piece of 'goose' meat sent by the palace man, Empress Dowager Dou's eyes finally fell on Liu Fei.

"All these years, I only care about being the emperor who is still the crown prince;"

"Didn't you notice that the fifth child has grown into a husband?"

The gentle questioning voice only made Liu Fei smirk for a while, and then he got up from his seat and slapped his chest.

"The emperor's grandmother is busy with state affairs, so she should not take care of her grandson!"

"——In these years, my grandson has not been idle, and I have trained such a physique just to make contributions!"

"When it really comes to the time when it is about the survival of the ancestral temple and the country, my grandson dare not say anything else: with a general seal, three to five thousand elite soldiers, and the strength to fight for the father, the grandson still has it!"

Seeing Liu Fei's posture, Empress Dowager Dou just shook her head and laughed;
I laughed to myself for quite a while, only to see Empress Dowager Dou smiling helplessly and nodding: "Okay, okay~"

"At that time, if the emperor doesn't give it to me, the fifth brother will come to me to get the seal of the general..."

The half-perfunctory promise caused Liu Fei to be overjoyed immediately, and kowtowed to Empress Dowager Dou for a while, only to make Empress Dowager laugh again.

When Liu Fei sat back in his seat contentedly, and looked gratefully at his younger brother Liu Sheng beside him, Empress Dowager Dou's relaxed and gentle tone resounded in the palace again.

"Old five, he is straight;"

"Xiao Jiu, you are kind again;"

"What about the other boys?"

"Are you both like this?"

Hearing this, Liu Sheng raised his head with a chuckle, and looked at his fifth brother Liu Fei beside him;

After pondering for a moment, Liu Shengcai bowed to Queen Mother Dou with a relaxed smile.

"The three elder brothers in the Phoenix Palace, my grandson has never been very familiar with them;"

"I only know the big brother, he looks like a big brother."

Subconsciously raised his elder brother Liu Rong's hand, and a sincere smile appeared on Liu Sheng's face.

"As for the other brothers, they all have their own strengths."

"—Like the fourth brother Liu Yu, although he has difficulty speaking, he likes music very much, and his attainments are really not shallow;"

As he spoke, Liu Sheng turned sideways again, and patted Liu Fei's leg naturally;
"——Fifth Brother has a straightforward temper, is righteous, and has never been too deep in the city;"

"Even if I was born with such a general body, I will never bully the weak. I only think that one day, I can be the great general of my father!"

"The imperial grandmother also knows that her grandson is also impatient and doesn't like people who beat around the bush at all."

"So on weekdays, apart from the elder brother of the first mother, the one who is closest to the grandson is the fifth brother..."

Listening to Liu Sheng's words, Empress Dowager Dou couldn't help but nodded slowly, and while listening, she didn't forget to think secretly.

Liu Sheng said that he was "unfamiliar with the three brothers in Phoenix Hall", so there is nothing to say about this;

— Not to mention Liu Sheng, in the entire Weiyang Palace, except for Li Ji, no one is familiar with the three brothers!

As for the eldest brother, Liu Rong, let alone whether he acted like a big brother, even if he didn't, it was impossible for Liu Sheng to speak ill of this elder brother in front of Queen Dowager Dou.

But the fourth brother Liu Yu, Liu Sheng's description and the original impression of Queen Dowager Dou obviously did not match.

"love music?"

"How did I hear that it's a sensual dog..."

Thinking like this, Empress Dowager Dou came back to her senses and looked at Liu Fei, the fifth brother beside Liu Sheng.

The fourth son, Liu Yu, whether he "likes music" or "sensuality" is hard for Empress Dou to judge;
But Liu Fei, the fifth child, is obviously different from the rumored "courageous but not resourceful" and "unruly temper".·····

"Humph!"

"A bunch of bastards!"

"If I'm blind, everyone will come to lie to me!"

Annoyed secretly, Empress Dowager Dou couldn't help but sit up a little bit, and put most of her attention on her beloved young grandson Liu Sheng's evaluation of her brothers.

At this moment, Queen Mother Dou realized that her past self was probably deceived by some people!
So at this moment, Empress Dowager Dou is eager to know: According to the rumors, what kind of grandchildren who are worse than the other look like...

"Sixth brother Liu Fa, since he was a child, he has been very strict with his duties, he doesn't like to talk, and he is a little shy;"

"But with us brothers, we can still sit together."

Hearing another statement from Liu Sheng, the last doubt in Empress Dowager Dou's heart completely disappeared.

—Someone must be lying to me!

Because according to the rumors, Liu Fa, the sixth son of the emperor, is a submissive on the surface, but actually has a lot of scheming, a cunning villain who always wants to slander and persecute others secretly!

While Empress Dowager Dou was angry, Liu Sheng's evaluation of his brothers was not over yet;
And Empress Dowager Dou's face gradually darkened following Liu Sheng's comments one after another...

"Lao Qi is clever and clever, but he is said to be treacherous and sophistry..."

"Lao Ba has a hidden disease and doesn't like to see people, but he was slandered as a 'dark mind' and 'can't see the light'..."

"Ah······"

"—I don't know how many people have used such lies to deceive me, a blind old woman..."

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Dou's mouth also quietly brought a little sarcasm;

After Liu Sheng finished speaking, he saw Empress Dowager Dou shaking her head with a sneer inexplicably, then sighed, and looked at Liu Sheng beside her.

"In the future, take your older brothers and walk around in Changle;"

"——When this person is old, he likes to let his children and grandchildren stay by his side and talk with him."

"Emperor and King Liang, I can't count on it..."

"It's you who are grandchildren, you should always take care of my old lady. I want to talk to my children and grandchildren..."

Hearing Empress Dowager Dou's words, Liu Sheng nodded quickly, saying that this matter is nothing to worry about;
Seeing that Empress Dowager Dou nodded with a satisfied smile, she cast her gentle gaze on Liu Fei who was at the side.

"have you eaten?"

"If you're not full, send the palace servants to get some more;"

"Here, the imperial grandmother, 'goose' meat is enough..."

Hearing Queen Mother Dou's extremely gentle questioning voice, Liu Fei finally smiled and shook his head after a short moment of astonishment.

"The grandson is full;"

"In the future, grandson wants to eat 'goose' meat, so I must ask Xiao Jiu to go to Changle Palace to find the emperor's grandmother and ask for meat!"

"——You don't have to be led by Xiaojiu, if you want to eat, you can go by yourself..."

She said something again in a gentle voice, Empress Dowager Dou finally turned her eyes back, looked at the table in front of her with a light smile, wondering what she was thinking.

After a while, outside the palace, a somewhat familiar figure of the grandparents and grandchildren walked in.

"Old slave, see the Queen Mother..."

An old, weak, and extremely sharp strange voice made Liu Sheng and Liu Fei frowned subconsciously;

Empress Dowager Dou raised her head indifferently, looking at the old eunuch with subconscious coldness.

"It's the eunuch's order..."

"—But the emperor, what orders does Yu Lao have?"

Leisurely words, but the old eunuch's face was startled, he quickly knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed to Queen Mother Dou in horror!

"Old, old slave, it's just a thing with such a crippled body left after being sawed by a knife, I dare not be your majesty's master!"

"But the Queen Mother misunderstood Your Majesty in this way, old slave, old slave..."

"——Okay, okay~"

Seeing the horror of the old eunuch, he was a little speechless, and Empress Dowager Dou had no intention of continuing to intimidate the eunuch Ling;
He interrupted the old eunuch's words at the exit, sighed again, and raised his head indifferently.

"Emperor, what did you bring?"

With a deep voice, the old chief eunuch finally breathed a sigh of relief;
As if receiving amnesty, he kowtowed to the empress Dowager Dou before relaying the words of the emperor Qi to the Empress Dowager Dou.

"Your Majesty said: Since inheriting the Great Reign, I have always been busy with state affairs and have not paid attention to visiting the Empress Dowager..."

"It's rare for the Queen Mother to come to Shanglin Garden, and His Majesty is also there..."

"——Your Majesty just sent this old slave here. Please show me the Empress Dowager. It would be better than tomorrow morning to visit the Empress Dowager in person..."

Hearing this remark, especially the phrase "The Empress Dowager will go to the forest later, and Her Majesty is also here", the corner of Empress Dowager Dou's mouth immediately burst into a sneer;
But in the end, Empress Dowager Dou still didn't say any more angry words, and went to scare the head eunuch who was more than two thousand stones in front of her.

"Let's go to the beast pen;"

After thinking for a while, she stood up indifferently, and said a word to the old eunuch, Empress Dowager Dou stretched out her hand, supported by brothers Liu Fei and Liu Sheng, and walked towards the bedroom of the palace.

But after Empress Dowager Dou left, the eunuch Ling fell into extreme panic again...
"—I want to see if the emperor dares to throw his own mother down and feed it to the beast..."

　I am very sorry;
　　I had my wisdom teeth pulled out some time ago, and the thread has been removed. Unexpectedly, when I woke up today, I was in excruciating pain.

　　I went to the hospital and saw a doctor, who said there might be inflammation and prescribed medicine for me.

　　I came back and took medicine, endured the severe pain, and wrote this first update.

　　The next one is the highlight, and I really dare not bear the pain to write it anymore;

　　So I hope that all the big fathers will allow me to sleep well one day.

　　Today's second is more owed, try to make it up tomorrow, no later than the day after tomorrow, and make up for it!
　　——Shuzi blood raccoon slave worships again, I would like to play...
