I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 120 Mother, Do You Really Think So?
"Appalling..."

"It's appalling..."

Almost at the same time, Changle Palace and Changxin Palace.

Sitting upright on the imperial couch, squinting her eyes, trying to read the words on the briefing in her hand, Empress Dowager Dou's expression was immediately filled with deep astonishment.

When Empress Dowager Dou put the briefing letter back on the table in front of her, and looked up at the emperor Qi in front of her again, Empress Dowager Dou's slack eyes could not help but be full of dignity.

"It's unbelievable that the king of Chu can do such a thing that both people and gods are angry with;"

"Whether it was Liu Jiao, King of Chu Yuan during Emperor Taizu Gao's time, or Liu Yingke, King of Chu Yi during Emperor Taizong's time, they were all loyal old men who were praised by everyone in the world."

"The good reputation of King Chu Yuan's family also spreads all over the land of Wu and Chu, and it has never been stained in the slightest."

"How could I have expected that now, in the generation of King Liu Wu of Chu, such a shocking scandal has happened..."

Hearing Empress Dowager Dou's remarks were full of sighs, and there were also a few horrified exclamations, Tian Ziqi, who was sitting next to Empress Dowager Dou, only nodded slowly with a sullen face, and let out a long sigh leisurely.

Speaking of Liu Wu, the king of Chu, we have to mention the general structure of the Liu family's clan and royal family during the time of Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang.

——The late Taishang Emperor Liu Taigong Liu Xie had four sons, namely the eldest son Liu Bo, the second son Liu Xi, the third son Liu Ji, and the fourth son Liu Jiao.

Among them, Liu Ji, the third child, is the Emperor Gao of the Han Taizu who is often said by later generations: Liu Bang.

Among the four sons of Taigong Liu Yu, Liu Bang, the most promising, naturally established Liu Han Guozuo with his own hands and became the ancestor of Liu Han Sheji.

And Liu Bang's other three brothers also left their own legends in history...

Boss Liu;

As the eldest brother of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, when he was alive, he loved Liu Bang's "promising" younger brother in every possible way.

Even on weekdays, Liu Bang always idled around and fooled around with a group of cronies all day long, but Uncle Liu never felt dissatisfied with it;
He only always bears in mind his duty of 'elder brother is like father', and he is even more responsive to his younger brother Liu Bang.

——Liu Bang wants to spend money, Liu Bo will take part of the family expenses and give it to his younger brother Liu Bang;
——Liu Bang caused trouble, so Uncle Liu went to ask someone to find a relationship and help his younger brother Liu Bang wipe his ass.

Even if Liu Bang bragged outside and said that he would bring a group of friends to his home for dinner, Uncle Liu never complained;
Instead, let Liu Bang bring such a group of friends back home, and personally entertain these "friends and friends" who will support Liu Bang and make great contributions to the Han Dynasty in the future.

So busy until middle age, Liu Bo, a farmer, finally passed away in the last years of Qin Shihuang;

After Uncle Liu passed away, Uncle Liu's wife, the brother-in-law of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, became more and more disgusted with this unpromising uncle.

Dissatisfied with Liu Bang always bringing some "nonsense" people home for dinner, Liu Bo's wife began to play tricks;
Whenever Liu Bang brought people to eat at home, he would scratch the bottom of the pot with a shovel and make a "squeak" friction sound to show that there was no food at home and he could not entertain Liu Bang's guests.

But when Liu Bang came to the kitchen suspiciously, he could always see: there was a whole pot of meat soup in the ax in the kitchen.

This kind of thing happened several times in succession, Liu Bang naturally understood what his sister-in-law wanted, and since then he no longer brought friends to his eldest brother's house, so as not to be bored.

It's just that this 'revenge' was kept in mind by the narrow-minded Liu Bang.

Later, Liu Bang, the former gangster, transformed into Emperor Gao, the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Don't say it's Liu;
Those who have been related to Fengpei for three generations have since become "the emperor's neighbor and the emperor's township party".

As for the two counties of Feng and Pei, Liu Bang swiped his pen: never levy taxes!
Even outsiders are like this, Liu Bangzi has not left any of those relatives with the surname Liu, and those who can be crowned kings will be crowned kings;
Even the eldest brother Liu Bo, who had died long ago, Liu Bang did not forget to posthumously posthumously call him "Wu Ai King" to express his respect and longing for this dead brother.

But only for the elder brother Liu Bo's family, that is, the sister-in-law who used to scrape the bottom of the pot with a soup spoon, and the only seedling of the eldest brother Liu Bo's family, Liu Bang has not granted it for a long time.

Regarding this situation, the sister-in-law naturally knew it well, and she dared not go to Liu Bang, so she could only secretly encourage her son Liu Xin to intercede with the Supreme Emperor Liu Xie.

Being begged by the grandson, and considering that the eldest son died early, and the grandson Liu Xin is the only child of the eldest son, Taigong Liu couldn't bear it;
Summoning the emperor's son Liu Bang, he tactfully persuaded him: "Let him pass on the past;
You have become the emperor, so you should have at least enough room for people...

When your eldest brother was around, he treated you well, but now that your eldest brother is gone, leaving behind a pair of orphans and widows;
And you are now prominent;
If you don't repay your late brother's kindness, what will people in the world think of you, the emperor?

After being persuaded by his father, Liu Bang also let go of the grudge in his heart, but he still couldn't forgive the past when he brought his friends home, but his sister-in-law slapped him in front of outsiders;
On the one hand, there is the awkwardness in my heart, on the other hand, my father's persuasion, and the rhetoric of "the emperor must be tolerant";

Under the combination of various factors, Liu Bang finally had no choice but to gnash his teeth and seal the only bloodline heir of his elder brother Liu Bo as the Marquis of Che.

However, even when it was time to become a marquis, Liu Bang still didn't forget to disgust the mother and son who were suffering;

——Liu Xin, the only son of Wuai King Liu Bo, was conferred the title of Marquis of Gengjie by Emperor Gao of Taizu Gao.

What do you mean?
Soup, meat soup;
Jie, Tongjia, sound also;

The so-called gengjie is the sound of "hom, hom" being scraped at the bottom of the pot containing meat soup.

In other words: Liu Bang named Liu Xin, the elder brother's son, as the "Marquis of the Bottom of the Scrambler"...

The eldest brother's family is like this, and the second brother Liu Xi's family did not let Liu Bang worry at all.

When Liu Bang was slightly cold, Taigong Liu Xie used his second brother Liu Xi as a case for educating Liu Bang.

Taigong said to Liu Bang: "Look at your second brother!"
Farming the land in a down-to-earth manner, being a man of duty, doesn’t make me worry about him at all;
See you again?

——Idle around all day, not productive, not as hardworking as your second brother!

As a result, just a few years after he uttered these words, Liu Ji transformed into Han Emperor Liu Bang.

Recalling his father's teachings, Liu Bang is inevitably a little complacent;

At the family banquet, he pointed to his second brother Liu Xi, and said to his father Liu Xie: In the past, my father always said that I was not as promising as my second brother;
According to the current situation, who is more promising, my second brother or me?
Is it the second brother who helped his father plant the dozens of acres of land?
Or am I the one who established Liu Han Sheji alone?
Anyway, at that time, the Grand Duke Liu Xi was also the Supreme Emperor;
The emperor's son is showing off his stink, so Liu Xun naturally can't hold back...

——I was so angry that I ate two extra bowls of rice that night!

As for Liu Bang, although he was angry at his father Liu Xi with his second brother, he was not stingy towards his second brother Liu Xi;

The action is a "Daiwang" prince, and Liu Xi is asked to go to Daiguo to defend against foreign enemies.

As a result, Liu Bang had just appointed his second elder brother Liu Xi as the king of Dai on the front foot, and Han Wangxin on the back foot, who surrendered to the Xiongnu in Mayi in Daibei;
Hearing the news that Han Wangxin had surrendered to the Huns, Liu Bang slapped his chest confidently: It's okay!

——Dai Guo, and my second brother Liu Xi!

Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Bang said this, another message came from the side wall: Before the Huns came, the acting king Liu Xi, who was supposed to stop the defense, dragged his family and ran to Luoyang to be hot...

The Huns cavalry chased after them, but they didn't even catch up with Liu Xi's shadow, and didn't even see the dust raised by Liu Xi's carriage...
Knowing this, Liu Bang was naturally furious, and because of the critical situation of the war, he could only lead his army to set off from Chang'an to conquer in person;
When passing Luoyang along the way, Liu Bang did not forget to scold his second brother Liu Xi, and forcibly saved the life of his second brother Liu Xi, abolished Liu Xi's prince, and demoted him to Heyang Marquis.

——The majestic king of a country, encountering a foreign enemy invasion, not only does not fight, but abandons the country and flees!
If it wasn't for the 'surname Liu' on the top of his head, and Liu Xi, the father of Liyang Palace in Xinfeng, this crime alone would have killed Liu Xi a hundred and eighty times!
It was also because of Liu Xi's "fleeing before the battle" that the Han-Hungary war that led to the erosion of the side wall eventually evolved into the only "king against king" in the history of Han-Hungary.

——Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the Shanyu Modun of the Xiongnu faced each other head-on in Pingcheng!

The final result was that Liu Bang underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, and was surrounded by Bai Deng...

Being hurt so badly by the second brother, Liu Bang didn't dare to trust the second brother anymore, he only supported him with generous rewards and salary, but never gave Liu Xi any real power;
But one year before Liu Bang's death, King Yingbu of Huainan launched a rebellion and brutally killed King Jing Liu Jia, and the veterans around Liu Bang began to beg for love for Liu Xi, Marquis of Heyang.

oops~
Your Majesty~
We are all family~
blood thicker than water...
Such persuasive words also annoyed Liu Bang, and at the same time, he was really troubled that after Liu Jia died, Jingdi had no clan guards;
In the end, Liu Bang could only follow the persuasion of the old folks, and confided the son of his second brother Liu Xi to Jingdi as king.

However, this nephew who was entrusted by Liu Bang to Jingdi did not become the "King of Jing", but became the King of Wu.

That's right;

——The current Wu Wang Liu Bi is the second elder brother of Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang: the eldest son of Dai Qing Wang Liu Xi.

But now, the throne of the Han family has been passed on to Liu Bang's grandchildren, and Liu Bi, the king of Wu, who is the 'second generation' elder of the Liu family, has already passed his sixtieth birthday...
After the eldest brother and the second brother have finished speaking, I have to mention the fourth brother who is in stark contrast to the two, and who doesn't even look like Liu's style: Liu Jiao.

As the only younger brother of Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang, Liu Jiao has been loved by thousands of people since he was a child.

Before and after Qin Shihuang unified the world, the eldest Liu Bo and the second Liu Xi of the old Liu family were busy farming, and the third Liu Bang was busy 'making friends' in Fengpei;
Only the fourth child, Liu Jiao, traveled around to study with the support of his parents and several older brothers, and became a rare "scholar" in the old Liu family.

——In terms of academic achievements, Liu Jiao's background is really not small!
——Liu Jiao's mentor, Fu Qiubo, was a classmate of Xunzi-Xunqing's classmate with the former Qin Prime Minister Li Si, the son Han Fei, the early Han Dynasty Taizhong doctor Lu Jia, and Beiping Hou Zhang Cang!

In other words, even if he met Qin Prime Minister Li Si, Liu Jiao could call Li Si without any hesitation: Uncle Shi.

In addition to the fame of his teacher Fu Qiubo, Liu Jiao's own academic achievements are also quite outstanding.

Especially in the "Book of Songs", Liu Jiao is well-known, and the poem biography "Yuan Wang Poems" compiled by himself is famous all over the world;
Even now, the literati who deal with "Poetry" basically have a copy of "Yuan Wang Poems".

Having such a high literary attainment naturally shows that Liu Jiao is a cultural person in an absolute sense.

Corresponding to Liu Jiao's world-renowned academic achievements is the rigorous family style that still amazes people all over the world.

——In those days, when Emperor Taizu Gao was still there, the family of King Liujiao of Chu had already become synonymous with "three good model family members";
Liu Jiao's sons are also more humble and polite than the other, and more gentle and pure than the other.

For these good princes with both virtues and virtues, the Chang'an court couldn't bear to waste them, and successively appointed several sons of Liu Jiao as Fengchang, who was in charge of the etiquette and law system.

In recent years, there has even been a rumor in Chang'an court that 'as long as he is the son of Liu Jiao, he can be a Fengchang from birth'!

The facts are indeed the same: in the past few decades, the post of Fengchang, one of the nine ministers, has been almost monopolized by Liu Jiao's sons.

But it is a pity that the current king of Chu, Liu Wu, is not the son of the king of Chu Yuan who can give birth to a litter of Fengchang;
It is the son of Chuyi King Liu Yingke and the eldest grandson of Chuyuan King Liujiao...

King Liu Wu of Chu didn't learn a single word of the virtues of grandfather, father, and uncles.

It is the unique skills of the second generation of dandies that Chu Wang Liu Wu learned one by one.

Up to now, this appalling family scandal has caused the emperor Qidu to put aside the ready-to-release "Strategy of Cutting Fans" and make a special effort to solve the problem of King Liu Wu of Chu... ····

"The emperor thinks, how should this matter be resolved?"

The mother and son sat opposite each other in silence for a long time, but finally it was Empress Dowager Dou's deep inquiry that broke the tranquility of the hall.

Seeing the emperor Qi heard the words, his already gloomy complexion couldn't help but darken again;
After thinking for a while with a sullen face, he raised his head with a stern expression, and looked at the empress dowager Dou who also had a gloomy expression in front of him.

"My son thinks, mother, maybe I should prepare to choose a new king of Chu from among Liu Li, Marquis of Pinlu, and Liu Fu, Marquis of Hong."

"—The reputation of the lineage of King Chu and Yuan cannot be ruined by Liu Wu, a disdainful descendant;"

"The King of Chu's position must be occupied by the son of King Chu Yuan, so that the child can feel at ease..."

Hearing Liu Qi's words, Empress Dowager Dou couldn't help but took a deep breath, sighed, and finally had no choice but to nod her head helplessly.

Liu Li, Marquis of Pinglu, and Liu Fu, Marquis of Hong, were the two sons of Emperor Taizu Gao's fourth younger brother, King Liu Jiao of Chu and Yuan, who had the most outstanding virtues.

At the same time, they are also the oldest among Liu Jiaoshang's surviving sons.

In the past ten or twenty years, the post of "Feng Chang" in the Chang'an court has basically been in the hands of these two brothers, passed around like a football.

To be more specific, when Liu Li was tired, he would be replaced by Liu Fu for two years; if Liu Fu was sick, Liu Li would support him for another two years.

After more than ten years of rotation like this, it wasn't until the last few years that the two old brothers finally took a rest.

——Because Liu Dao, the son of Liu Li, has finally grown up to the age where he can take over the burden for his father and uncle;

As for Liu Fu's sons, although the older ones are a bit hopeless, the youngest son, Liu Biqiang, is said to be "quite like the king of the Yuan Dynasty" at the age of less than ten years old!
In the future, Liu Dao, the son of Liu Li, will grow old, and Liu Piqiang, the son of Liu Fu, should be able to stand up and continue to complete the decades-long monopoly of the "Han Fengchang" position by the Chu and Yuan kings, and the "hereditary '.

As for the current King Liu Wu of Chu, as the only seedling of King Liu Ying of Chu Yi, after such a shocking scandal, he couldn't stay anymore.

Regardless of Liu Wu's actions, the reputation damage that may be caused to the lineage of King Chu and Yuan;
This matter alone may cause damage to the Liu family's royal family, and Tianzi Qi must erase the name 'Liu Wu' from the Liu family tree no matter what!

And Liu Wu, as the only son of King Liu Yingke of Chu Yi, since he must die now, the position of King of Chu can only be handed over to the other sons of Yuan King Liu Jiao.

Empress Dowager Dou was obviously prepared for this point.

"There is no need to discuss this matter."

"The end of Chu Wang Liu Wu is already doomed;"

"But the emperor should not forget: the emperor can temporarily put aside the paper "Strategy for Cutting the Domain", but the old thief of the King of Wu will not let go of this good opportunity."

"Even for the sake of the stability of the ancestral temple and the country, Liu Wu's matter must be suppressed for the time being."

"If not, if Liu Wu is allowed to follow the old thief Liu Bi and become the thief who brazenly raises his troops, I'm afraid it will not be a good thing for the ancestral temple and Sheji..."

Saying something in a deep voice, seeing that Tianzi Qi didn't immediately nod his head yes, Empress Dowager Dou couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then looked away from Liu Qi.

"The matter of cutting down the feudal clan is related to the life and death of my Han family, so we must not be careless."

"How to operate, the emperor, you can listen to the opinions of the veterans."

"—especially the opinion of Prime Minister Shentu Jia."

"As for Chu Wang Liu Wu, after all, it's just a scandal about my Liu family. It's never too late to clean up..."

Hearing this remark, his heart was still full of anger, so Tianzi Qi could only take a deep breath and force himself to suppress his anger;

He bowed his head and thought for a while, finally smiled at Queen Dowager Dou and bowed his hands.

"My mother's teachings, my child, keep it in my heart..."

A calm word finally dispelled the grim look on Empress Dou's face;
He couldn't help turning his head with a warm smile, and seemed to mention it casually: "I heard that Yuangu was driven back to his hometown in Guandong by the emperor?"

Seeing his mother mentioning this matter, Tian Zi Qi nodded quickly, and put on a look of "it's a small matter, mother must not be too satisfied with the child just because of this matter".

But seeing Mrs. Dou shaking her head with a smile behind her, she lowered her head and thought for a moment;

After a long while, Empress Dowager Dou, who seemed to have finally made up her mind, cast her gentle and kind eyes on the emperor Qi in front of her.

"This matter, Xiao Jiu has been nagging in my ear a lot these days;"

"After hearing what that kid said, I just remembered: In front of those literati, the emperor also has his own difficulties..."

"—The matter of Yuan Gu is that I was too aggressive and did not leave room for the emperor."

"After three or two years, the emperor found a reason to recall Na Yuangu back to Chang'an..."

The gentle and gentle tone also made Tianzi Qi startled;
Looking at Empress Dowager Dou, there was even a hint of astonishment!
But Empress Dowager Dou shook her head with a helpless smile, stretched out her hand, and patted the back of Tian Ziqi's hand lightly.

"Anyway, I'm also the emperor's mother~"

"As a mother, how can you make trouble for your son?"

"—and besides;"

"As far as Yuangu's stinky mouth is concerned, the emperor and I are the only ones in the world who have the kindness to tolerate him."

"But if he is allowed to die of old age in Kanto, it will be a matter of great loss to the emperor's reputation..."
