I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 131 How can a queen mother do this!

"Worship the general, give holidays, confer talismans, and act cheaply..."

"Hey!"

"Father, is it really rare for you to be generous to your cousin?"

Together with the fifth brother Liu Fei and younger brother Liu Sheng, walking on the road to the east gate of Chang'an - Qingming Gate, Liu Pengzu said a little jokingly;
Seeing that Liu Sheng didn't speak to him, Liu Pengzu added: "Xingyang is between Hangu Pass and Suiyang, and it's only a few hundred miles away from Suiyang."

"With Uncle Biao leading an army to garrison Xingyang, and King Liang staying in Suiyang City, there shouldn't be any danger?"

"—After all, it was the emperor's grandmother who made the decision for my uncle to lead the army;"

"Before the expedition, the emperor's grandmother will definitely tell the representative uncle again and again: as long as Liang Wangshu asks for help, he must send troops to support Suiyang!"

"I'm afraid that even the royal father doesn't have a good solution for the explanation of the imperial grandmother..."

Liu Pengzu whispered again, but still failed to attract Liu Sheng to speak;
On the contrary, the fifth Liu Fei, who was dressed in armor, held the rein lightly in his hand, and led the horse, let out a slightly serious breath.

"It's true as what Lao Qi said: with Uncle Biao, the 'General', guarding Xingyang, Uncle Liang Wang is in Suiyang, so he won't be in too much danger."

"It's just that I'm a little worried that Liu Bi's rebels may take advantage of this..."

"——If the rebels pretend to attack Suiyang and attract the general to support Suiyang, but instead allow the rebels to "attack east and west" and open the situation from Xingyang, then the direction of the war may completely get out of control!"

"At that time, let alone Uncle Liang Wang;"

"All Liu's clan members in the world, except those who rebelled, must be in danger..."

While talking, the two brothers couldn't help sighing;

It seems that he is very worried about his cousin, the newly-baked general Dou Ying.

Sensing the pessimism of the two elder brothers, even Liu Sheng, who had made up his mind long ago to 'not comment on North Korea-China affairs', could only shake his head with a wry smile.

"Xingyang, nothing will go wrong."

"—Even if the city of Suiyang is destroyed and King Liang dies, Xingyang will never have any problems."

The indifferent words made Liu Fei and Liu Pengzu look sideways;

Then Liu Shengyun said calmly: "My cousin was worshiped by the emperor as a general, and he led the army to defend Xingyang. It was indeed the emperor's grandmother who facilitated it."

"It is indeed as my brother said: Xingyang is only a few hundred miles west of Suiyang;"

"—The rebel army came from the east. If Uncle Liang feels that the situation is wrong, he can indeed quickly ask for help from the general behind him."

"However, as a great general's cousin, he will never support Uncle Liang..."

"No matter what explanation the emperor's grandmother made before the expedition, Uncle Cousin will never touch any of Xingyang's soldiers..."

Having said that, Liu Sheng couldn't help but shook his head in embarrassment, and let out a long sigh leisurely.

"the reason is simple."

"First of all, the fact that my cousin can be worshiped as a great general is enough to prove that my cousin has convincing abilities when it comes to battle formations;"

"If this is not the case, then even if the emperor's grandmother made a move, the emperor would not be so generous. It is a fake festival, and a talisman. He also promised his cousin to 'do things cheaply'."

"So, Uncle Biao must understand that the importance of Xingyang is far higher than that of Suiyang."

"——Although the destruction of Suiyang City will shake Guanzhong, there is always room for recovery in the war;"

"But if something goes wrong in Xingyang, especially Aocang, or even Luoyang, the eastern capital, then the whole world will really change color..."

Hearing Liu Sheng's words, Liu Pengzu nodded thoughtfully;

Even Liu Fei, who was at the side, thought about it for a while, and then looked at Liu Sheng with approval: "That's true."

Seeing that the two elder brothers understood, Liu Sheng couldn't help but stop talking.

Seeing Liu Fei, the fifth elder brother who was wearing armor and holding a war horse, who was leaving Chang'an in a short while to go to the Kanto, Liu Sheng thought for a moment, and finally decided to continue talking.

"Even if Grandmother is annoyed at my cousin's 'not supporting King Liang', she won't blame her too much."

"—Because the imperial grandmother must also understand: Suiyang is lost, and it is Uncle Liang who died;"

"But if Xingyang is lost, it will be my Han family's ancestral temple and Sheji..."

"In addition to this, there is another reason, which will also prompt Uncle Biao to be extremely steadfast in stationing in Xingyang, and will never pay attention to Uncle Liang's request for help."

"—Uncle Liang Wang, wants to be the crown prince;"

"As for my uncle, he was the prince and grandson prepared by my father in the past for my elder brother..."

"Especially after this battle, my cousin's qualifications and prestige will increase greatly, and he may even become a marquis."

"Elder brother is the prince, and my cousin is the prince and tutor. There will be no problems."

"So, as the eldest brother, the crown prince and uncle, it is impossible for him to say anything about Uncle Liang's request for help..."

As Liu Sheng's interpretation became more and more profound, the faces of Liu Fei and Liu Pengzu's brothers immediately took on a touch of gloom.

And Liu Sheng's gaze fell on Fifth Brother Liu Fei impartially.

"Yesterday, the emperor's grandmother summoned the fifth brother to enter the palace. She should have explained to the fifth brother about the matter of King Liang, right?"

Asking softly, Liu Pengzu turned his head slightly in surprise;

But Liu Fei nodded solemnly, then lowered his head, and touched the seal of General Fang hanging on his waist.

"The emperor's grandmother said: You can give me the seal of the general;"

"I am also allowed to lead the army to counter the rebellion."

"But the imperial grandmother asked me to promise: if there is a problem in Suiyang, I must immediately drop everything in my hands, and no matter where I am, I must support Suiyang non-stop."

As he said that, Liu Fei couldn't help raising his head slightly again, and touched the necks of those tall horses around him with complicated expressions.

"——In order to allow me to support Uncle Liang as soon as possible at that time, the imperial grandmother even picked out the best horse from the Changle stables and gave it to me..."

"But I went to the Zhao country this time..."

Hearing Liu Fei's bitter voice, the two brothers Liu Sheng and Liu Pengzu also bowed their heads in an inexplicable order, secretly thinking of countermeasures for Liu Fei.

Right now, the rebellion has broken out, and the Chang'an court responded quickly.

The anti-insurgency army that had been prepared long ago had already marched towards Hangu Pass in the east and Wuguan Pass in the south.

Among them, the [-] troops led by the eunuch Taohou Liu She went south from Chang'an and stationed in the Wuguan-Lantian area;
The [-] troops led by the general Dou Ying marched east from Chang'an, and went straight to the Xingyang-Aocang line east of Hangu Pass and south of Suiyang, the capital of Liang.

The third army was led by Qu Zhou Hou Li Ji, who had also set off with Dou Ying.

However, the army led by Li Ji will not stop after arriving at the line of Xingyang-Aocang; instead, it will turn north and head towards Handan, the capital of Zhao State.

As for Liu Fei's expedition this time, he was assigned to Li Ji's command...
"Five brothers don't have to worry too much;"

"After all, Liang Guo is also very important, and the court has no plans to let Liang Guo fend for itself."

"When necessary, Guanzhong will definitely send reinforcements to support Suiyang."

"As for Fifth Brother, just listen to orders under Qu Zhouhou's tent with peace of mind, and just do what you should do."

"—After the war, if the emperor's grandmother asks, the fifth brother can tell the emperor's grandmother that he originally planned to support Uncle Liang, but was rejected by Qu Zhouhou."

"As a general, Fifth Brother couldn't disobey the commander's military order, so he couldn't support Uncle Liang Wang."

After thinking for a long time, Liu Sheng finally could only come up with such a solution;

When Liu Fei heard the words, he could only sigh bitterly and nod his head: "That's the only way..."

"That's what I'm doing, I'm afraid I will live up to the trust that the imperial grandmother has placed in me..."

Hearing this, Liu Pengzu and Liu Sheng only lowered their heads with wry smiles, but did not speak again.

——As the saying goes: Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite;

Even clansmen, royal families, sons and phoenixes, all have their own helplessness...
Just walking with Liu Fei in this way, walking out of the Qingming Gate, and sending it another three to five miles, the three brothers stopped slowly.

Seeing Liu Fei put on a posture of "don't give it away anymore, I should go" and seeing hundreds of guards quietly waiting for Liu Fei in the distance, Liu Sheng thought twice, and finally let out a sigh.

"Fifth brother, are you really not saying goodbye to Mrs. Cheng?"

"After all, it's my biological mother. The fifth brother is going out this time, and the one who worries about the fifth brother the most is Mrs. Cheng..."

But seeing Liu Fei hearing the words, he shook his head with a bitter smile.

"My mother disagreed with my expedition, but my father and grandmother nodded first, so my mother can't say much..."

After speaking, Liu Fei smiled again, raised his hand slightly, and looked around around him.

"Even the fourth brother, sixth brother, and eighth brother wanted to send me off, but my mother stopped them."

"Instead, you two came to see me off..."

"Ah~"

"—Let's do this first."

"When the victory comes back, no matter how angry my mother is, the anger should disappear..."

Hearing this, brothers Liu Pengzu and Liu Sheng also shook their heads with a little sigh.

In the end, it was Liu Sheng who stood up, stretched out his hand, looked left and patted right on the mail armor on Liu Fei's body;

While his hands were busy, Liu Sheng did not forget to comfort him: "Don't worry, fifth brother;"

"With my fourth brother taking care of me, no matter how sad Mrs. Cheng is, she will always calm down."

"My brother and I will also take care of it, so nothing can go wrong."

"It's just Fifth Brother, but you must take care of yourself and don't make any mistakes."

"When the fifth brother returns triumphantly, I will personally host a banquet for the fifth brother, to wash away the dust..."

Sensing Liu Sheng's concern, Liu Fei couldn't help but smile and nodded slightly to Liu Sheng.

When Liu Sheng withdrew his hand and retreated to his elder brother Liu Pengzu, he saw Liu Fei suddenly straightened his back, and bowed his hands heavily to the two brothers!

"Brother, I'm going to fight against the rebellion!"

"—I don't know how long it will take to go back to Chang'an again."

"My mother, please ask your two younger brothers to take care of you in the palace..."

Seeing this, brothers Liu Pengzu and Liu Sheng also quickly stood up and raised their hands towards Liu Fei.

"Brother, go yourself;"

"Ten thousand, take care..."

·
At the same time, Changle Palace.

Sitting in the gazebo, looking at Cheng Ji beside her, her expression was dull and dazed. Madam Jia couldn't help but stretched out her hand a little, and patted the back of Cheng Ji's hand.

"The fifth one is going here, and he will return safely..."

The gentle words of comfort only caused Cheng Jiqiang to squeeze out a smile, and then shook his head sadly.

"This child has his own attention since he was a child;"

"As I get older, I, as a mother, can't control it anymore..."

"Ah~"

"I can only hope for the situation, as Mrs. Jia said, with the blessing of the ancestors, the boy will return safely..."

Hearing this, Mrs. Jia just smiled lightly and patted the back of Cheng Ji's hand, taking it as comfort.

Hearing the conversation between the two wives, Li Ji, who was at the side, immediately showed a little displeasure.

"What to wear!"

"If it wasn't for the mother's instigation, a 15-year-old child would have the courage to go out to fight the enemy?"

"—I'm afraid that some people have moved their minds that shouldn't be moved, thinking that by making some martial arts, they can get their hands on things that don't belong to them!"

The insinuating words with a gun and a stick made Mrs. Cheng's complexion suddenly froze, and she subconsciously raised her head to say something.

But after seeing the undisguised disgust on Li Ji's face, Cheng Ji couldn't help but froze;
After thinking about it for a moment, he finally shook his head helplessly.

Because at this moment, Mrs. Cheng suddenly remembered something that her son Liu Fei had told her earlier.

——This matter was told by Xiaojiu Liu Sheng to Liu Fei in private.

Liu Sheng said: In this world, there are noble people, and naturally there are also despicable people.

Noble people disdain to associate with despicable people;
But despicable people don't think that there are truly noble people in this world.

In the eyes of these despicable people, the reason why those people are noble is that they have not yet obtained enough bargaining chips to make themselves bow their heads and become even more despicable;

It's like in the eyes of prostitutes, the reason why ladies don't rely on flesh and blood to make profits is because the prices offered by piao customers are not high enough...

Seeing that Cheng Ji didn't open her mouth to refute, Li Ji only thought that she was talking about Cheng Ji's pain, and she didn't forget to snort at Cheng Ji while she was proud;
Beside Cheng Ji, feeling the gradually weird atmosphere in the pavilion, Wang Meiren also chuckled a little bit awkwardly, and then changed the subject.

"I don't know why the Empress Dowager asked us to come to Changle Palace today..."

"——Don't you want King Liang to be the heir, just because we wives don't like it?!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Meiren said her words, she was scolded by Li Ji full of resentment.

On the contrary, Mrs. Jia, the mother of Liu Pengzu and Liu Sheng, saw that Cheng Ji and Tang Ji were also looking at her, so she raised her head subconsciously and looked in Li Ji's direction.

"Humph!"

"Isn't it the son I gave birth to, who is favored by the Queen Mother!"

"—what a big deal!"

Although she said so, Li Ji also looked at Mrs. Jia with some doubts.

Seeing this, Madam Jia could only sigh secretly, and subconsciously held Cheng Ji's hand beside her.

"Sheng'er doesn't quite know what the Queen Mother wants to do."

"It's just that when we were about to leave, Sheng'er told me that no matter what the queen mother said, I should follow the queen mother's wishes..."

Hearing this, Cheng Ji, Tang Ji, and Wang Meiren nodded slowly in unison.

"Yes;"

"Following the meaning of the Queen Mother, it is always right..."

"--Humph!"

It was Li Ji again, who let out a cold snort full of displeasure, and immediately an angry look appeared on her face;
Then, regardless of being in the Changle Palace, he accused Queen Mother Dou in front of Cheng Ji, Tang Ji, Mrs. Jia, and Wang Meiren.

"As the emperor's mother, she always thinks about passing the throne to her other sons. What's the point?"

"This is what the Queen Mother should do?!"

"That means His Majesty is filial and dare not disobey his mother."

"otherwise······"

"—Otherwise, how about~"

Before Li Ji could finish speaking, a low voice of inquiry sounded outside the gazebo, prompting the other ladies to stand up quickly.

"Concubine, see the Queen Mother..."

Hearing that Queen Dowager Dou's voice seemed to be casual but slightly cold, Li Ji was taken aback for a moment;
After reacting, he hurriedly turned around again, and was about to salute to Empress Dowager Dou, but saw Empress Dowager Dou walked forward by herself and sat down in the gazebo.

"I really don't understand the truth of being a queen mother like Li Ji."

"But Li Ji, don't worry too much~"

"When I close my eyes, it will be Li Ji's turn to live in Changle Palace..."

The tone was full of peace and calm, but it made the ladies in the gazebo bow their heads deeply, and they didn't dare to look at Queen Mother Dou again.

As for Li Ji, although she had a look of panic on her face, there was still a little displeasure between her brows...
"If Li Ji is not feeling well, then go back."

"After you go back, you can tell the emperor: The Empress Dowager has no virtue~"

"——There is no way to worship the ancestral temple~"

"Then, this Changle Palace can be lived in by Li Ji, the 'Madam';"

"The queen of Jiaofang Palace can also call Li Ji the 'mother queen'..."

It was still that indifferent tone that seemed to be chatting, but it finally caused Li Ji to tremble slightly.

It's just that no one in the gazebo can tell whether Li Ji's trembling at this time is because of fear...
Backing away with a stiff expression, Li Ji sat down and lowered her head with a depressed expression, finally getting Empress Dowager Dou's attention away from herself.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Dou took a deep breath, she turned her distracted eyes to the wooden table half a foot long and wide.

"I heard that on weekdays, when you get bored and bored in the palace, you will 'gamble'."

"And will use their respective jewelry as a 'color head'?"

The soft words made the ladies feel a little uneasy, but seeing Queen Mother Dou just smiled easily, turned sideways, and put the jewelry box beside her on the wooden case.

"I'm old~"

"But on weekdays, when I'm in the palace, I'm also very bored."

"That's why I asked you to come to Changle Palace so that I can teach me how to play this 'Bo Xi'?"

"——I have also prepared a lot of jewelry for 'color head'."

"Ladies and gentlemen, why don't you play a 'gaming game' with me, a blind old lady?"

　There was a power outage in the afternoon, the code was late, and the second update was too late, so I will start today and make up for the missing one tomorrow.
