I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 186 This is my first lesson for you

Weiyang Palace, outside the Xuanshi Hall, came to Yuantai.

Staying there for a while, Liu Sheng couldn't recover from the shock;
On the contrary, Tianzi Qi had already recovered from the strange excitement before.

I don't know if it was because of the abnormal mood just now that Tian Ziqi lifted some taboos, he just opened his mouth and shut up like a 'little bastard', he seemed to have no more worries.

It's just that there is a different color in the eyes looking at Liu Sheng.

Standing in front of Liu Sheng, looking up and down repeatedly for a long time, and talking to himself for a while, seeing Liu Sheng's still dumbfounded expression, Tianzi Qi couldn't help but smile.

Just as he was about to say another 'little bastard', Liu Sheng still slumped down on the recliner with a shocked face.

"Prince Prince..."

"Prince?"

"--I?"

"why me?"

"—Why, not brother?"

Like a bewildered lunatic, muttering to himself, Liu Sheng finally raised his head in a daze;
Looking at the emperor Qishi in front of him, Liu Sheng's face was full of bewilderment.

"why?"

"—Why not brother?"

"Father, why don't you just establish your elder brother directly, but take such a lot of trouble;"

"The ultimate goal is to set me up?"

Seeing that Liu Sheng still couldn't recover from the surprise of "being soon to be appointed as a reserve", or the shock, Tianzi Qi couldn't help turning around with a smile.

When I came to the guardrail again, I stretched out my hand full of feelings, stroking the rough stone guardrail;
On the face, there is also a little feeling.

"Among the nine of you brothers, whoever is the most like me;"

"There is no doubt that he is your brother..."

"—Rong Confucianism is weak, virtue is good at writing, silent;"

"—Yukou is stupid, not reckless, and quite withdrawn;"

"Fat, it's too timid..."

"Only your brother, whether it is temperament, virtue, or the way of dealing with people;"

"—even looks!"

"Among the nine of you brothers, the one who most resembles me when I was young..."

The sigh full of sighs finally made Liu Sheng recover from the previous shock;
Hearing Tianzi Qi's exclamation, he became more and more confused.

"Since this is the case, then father, why didn't you choose elder brother?"

"Didn't everyone say that as a father, don't you like the son who resembles you the most?"

After asking two more questions, Liu Sheng shook his head in confusion.

"During the time of Taizu Emperor Gao, Emperor Gao thought Zhao Wang Liu Ruyi was 'like himself', so he doted on him very much;"

"When Emperor Taizong Xiaowen was Emperor, the first emperor also thought that Liu Yi, King Huai of Liang, was 'Father Xiao', and he was almost about to marry King Huai of Liang."

"Since my father thinks that my elder brother is the most like me, why didn't I establish my elder brother?"

But Tianzi Qi heard the words, laughed jokingly, turned around, propped his elbows on the guardrail, and leaned sideways on the guardrail;

His eyes were full of jokes, and he looked at Liu Sheng with a perplexed but still astonished face.

"You yourself, haven't you already given the answer?"

"—Emperor Gao, the great ancestor, thought Zhao Wang and Liu Ruyi were like himself, but in the end, he established Emperor Xiaohui;"

"The first emperor thought that Liu Yi, the king of Lianghuai, and father Xiao, finally established me."

"And now, I think your elder brother is like me, but chooses to set you up."

"Is there anything incomprehensible about this?"

These indifferent words didn't make Liu Sheng's doubts lessen;

He just lowered his head slightly, pondering what Tianzi Qi just said, and nodded thoughtfully, but his brows became more and more wrinkled.

After a long time, seeing that Liu Sheng still couldn't react, Tian Ziqi couldn't help but shook his head again with a smile.

Turning his back, resting his hands on the guardrail, he let out another long sigh full of embarrassment.

"Ah~"

"This is all because Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizong Xiaowen were able to restrain their selfish desires and put the world first..."

···
"—Emperor Taizu Gao, wise and powerful, half his life as a soldier and horse, his martial arts are as good as the heavens!"

"But at that time, the world was full of empty houses and a mess everywhere. The people had been tormented by the flames of war for many years, and they were physically and mentally exhausted;"

"What the common people long for is the long-lost peace and tranquility."

"So, Emperor Taizu Gao finally chose the benevolent Emperor Xiaohui as his successor;"

"It's not Zhao Wang Liu Ruyi, who is heroic like myself, and has already shown a 'heroic' temperament before he was ten years old..."

···
"—Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, who stood with a weak crown, and his offshoots were descendants of his descendants, and his virtue was brought to life by the common people, and he was as good as birds and beasts!"

"But at that time, the hardships and dangers that our Han family faced were that the clan princes could not lose their heads, supported their own troops, and had ulterior motives in the Kanto, and the danger of raising troops to cause chaos at any time;"

"What the ancestral temple and the community need is a tyrant who can deal ruthless and even deadly actions against his relatives and relatives!"

"So, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen chose me..."

"—Choose Zhen, this villain who once smashed the prince of Wu to death with his own hands, and was evaluated by the public as 'mean and ungrateful' and 'cold-hearted', has become the monarch of the world."

"It's not like the first emperor, who is broad-minded, benevolent and righteous, and can get along well with most of the clan princes..." King Huai of Liang..."

···
"And now, it's my turn to make the same decision..."

···
The bleak and sentimental voice made Liu Sheng's face full of confusion and bewilderment, and a little understanding gradually emerged;

Seeing that Tianzi Qi was silent for a long time, he turned around with a smile again.

Leaning his back against the guardrail, leaning his elbows on the guardrail, he raised his head slightly towards Liu Sheng.

"Do you know where your brother is most like me?"

"—— vicious!"

"Your brother is as vicious and vicious as I am!"

The words were full of determination, which only made Liu Sheng look anxious;
Just as he was about to refute, he saw Tianzi Qihe shook his head with a smile.

"I'm just a real villain;"

"Not a hypocrite."

"—Although I never admit it, I know in my heart that I have done many wrong things in my life."

"Even, let alone a lifetime;"

"Just in the past few years after taking the throne, I have done too many wrong things to count."

"But there is one thing, I can never go wrong;"

"—I, I never misjudged anyone!"

"Never..."

···
"Do not believe?"

"Ah······"

"—I, let's make a bet with you~"

"Next year, I will make your brother King Zhao."

"Every subsequent year, a Zhao Guoxiang will be carried out of Handan horizontally."

"But I, absolutely can't catch any handle on your brother."

"Every Zhao Guoxiang who died in office must have 'what he deserved' and 'his own fault'."

"How about it?"

"—Do you dare to bet?"

Tianzi Qi said firmly, but Liu Sheng fell into a long thought.

Liu Pengzu, is a vicious and vicious person?
To be honest, Liu Sheng didn't believe it.

I also don't want to believe it.

But at this moment, Liu Sheng didn't have the confidence to refute.

Because this is not the first time Liu Sheng has heard someone comment on his brother like this...

"When the teacher was still there, he also said: After my brother becomes a prince, he may treat his subjects harshly..."

A murmur with astonishment on his face also provoked the emperor Qi to raise his brows slightly;
After a while, he nodded slowly again full of feelings.

"Ah~"

"Old prime minister..."

"It really made me..."

There was another sigh, and the father and son fell into a long silence.

After a long time, it was finally Tian Ziqi who moved slowly and walked to the reclining chair;

As soon as he pulled the reclining chair, he went to Liu Sheng and sat down facing Liu Sheng.

Afterwards, Tianzi Qi looked at Liu Sheng with a more dignified and preaching look.

"Emperor Taizu Gao is the founder of our Han family."

"—The mission of the founding king is to win the world;"

"Emperor Taizong Xiaowen is the sage king who made my Han family win the hearts of the world."

"—The mission of the sage is to nourish the world;"

"And I am pruning the broken branches for my Han family and eradicating the threatening tyrant!"

"—The tyrant's mission is to secure the world."

···
"But my Han family does not need a second tyrant;"

"There is no need for a second Chao Cuo, or a second Wu Chu Seven Kingdoms Rebellion."

"After me, my Han family needs a hero who is merciful to the clan, kind to the world, barbaric to the outside world, and jealous of evil."

"I dare not say that you will definitely become such a hero."

"But I know: If I choose your elder brother, then I will let my Han family usher in a second tyrant after me..."

"And, your talent is much stronger than Rong;"

"If even you can't do it, then my son can't do it..."

The solemn tone, serious expression, and those deep eyes that stared at Liu Sheng closely and stared deeply into the depths of Liu Sheng's eyes finally allowed Liu Sheng to barely recover from his previous confusion.

——Liu Sheng still doesn't believe that his elder brother Liu Pengzu, who grew up with him, will be a 'tyrant'.

But Liu Sheng already understood why the emperor Qi in front of him chose him.

"Father, do you not want the Han family to produce another king like yourself?"

Asking softly, only made Tianzi Qi slightly astonished;

In the end, he also nodded heavily.

After another period of silence, Tianzi Qi finally asked his first question to Liu Sheng today.

"You don't want to be a prince?"

At first glance, the seemingly indifferent tone of voice could not help but carry a little uneasiness and uneasiness;

But Liu Sheng shook his head with a wry smile after a long absence.

"I don't know..."

"My son never thought that one day, he would become the crown prince;"

"I never thought that one day, my father would say this with my son..."

"—It's just that in the past few years, I have told my elder brother many times: I have absolutely no intention of competing for the position of the crown prince;"

"But now, the father wants to give up his elder brother and let his son be the crown prince of my Han family."

"This makes Erchen..."

"Jian Erchen..."

Seeing Liu Sheng talking, he lowered his head with a wry smile, and Tianzi Qi couldn't help sighing again, and lay down leisurely;

Leaning on the recliner, full of sighs, he looked at Liu Sheng with increasing relief, and there was a rare trace of warmth in his tone.

"I know;"

"I know it all."

"—I know Rong, I once asked you: do you want to be a prince;"

"You answer: As long as the eldest brother is the prince, I will not cause trouble for the eldest brother..."

"Now, your elder brother, you can't be the prince anymore."

"I also know that you have never thought of being a prince, and even up to now, you have never wanted to be a prince."

"But what I want to tell you is: the position of prince is not something you can sit if you want;"

"—It's not that if you don't want to sit, you can stop sitting..."

The increasingly deep voice only made Liu Sheng smile bitterly again and again;
I don't know if I feel confused about the future, or feel at a loss for this sudden change.

As for Tianzi Qi, he was already lying flat on the recliner, and closed his eyes again.

"After Rong, there are only two choices left for me; in fact, there are only two;"

"—one is you;"

"One, it's your tenth brother."

"You two, one is 13 years old and the other is just four years old..."

···
"If I choose you, I will live for at least another seven years, at least until you become a crowned adult;"

"—I have confidence in you."

"I am also confident that I can last another seven years."

···
"If I choose your tenth brother, I will live at least another 16 years, until I become an adult."

"——I don't have confidence in Shi'er right now, and I don't know what kind of person he will grow into in the future."

"I don't even have the confidence to last another 16 years, until the four-year-old pig becomes an adult..."

···
"So, I chose you."

"I can only choose you."

"——Zhen, I can't leave a teenage, or even eight or nine-year-old son emperor for the Han family;"

"I can't let my Han family produce a third 'Shaodi'..."

At the end, Tianzi Qi was already quietly lying on the recliner, as if he had fallen asleep;

In front of Emperor Qi, Liu Sheng finally nodded slowly.

"My son, I understand..."

"—Well, it's good to understand..."

There was another silence.

After a long time, he finally persuaded himself to accept the reality and Liu Sheng, who accepted that he was about to become the crown prince, tried to ask again.

"Brother..."

"Father, what do you plan to do with Li Ji?"

Swish!
Almost as soon as he heard the word 'Li Ji', Tianzi Qi, who was in a 'sleeping' state on the recliner, suddenly opened his eyes!

It's like a robot that suddenly received instructions to start, turn on, and so on!

After another moment, Tianzi Qi closed his eyes slowly again as if he had received a shutdown command.

It's just that Tianzi Qi, who was lying flat on the recliner, suddenly burst out with a sinister, bone-chilling coldness in his temperament.

"Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying are about to return to court as teachers;"

"In Guanzhong, the autumn harvest is coming soon."

"I don't have time to deal with these things."

"—The canonized edicts of King Linjiang, King Hejian, and King Changshan have been sent to Shanglin Garden."

"I received the imperial edict today, and Rong, De, and Yu will set off tomorrow morning to seal the country."

"Next spring, the court will send an obituary to the three of them: Mrs. Li died of a serious illness and died in the Phoenix Hall."

It can't be said to be harsh, but the tone is always cold, which makes Liu Sheng lower his head subconsciously.

After thinking for a long time, he finally got up from the reclining chair, walked forward, and came to Tianzi Qi's side.

"Yesterday's autumn hunt;"

"Fifth Brother asks Eldest Brother to take care of our mother who stays in the palace after we become kings and feudal vassals."

"Brother, I promise..."

The deep voice caused Tianzi Qi to open his eyes again;
After glancing at Liu Sheng for a while, he closed his eyes indifferently, not forgetting to turn his body slightly to the side with his back facing Liu Sheng.

"I know what you want to say."

"But I don't agree."

The unquestionably firm tone also made Liu Sheng bow his head again.

A moment later, with the same firm tone, he said to Tianzi Qi again: "When we were about to become the king and the vassal, the elder brother promised us to take care of our mother for us."

"Now, as the eldest brother, he wants to become the king and the vassal. As the younger brother, I stay in Chang'an and become the crown prince."

"—I promised my eldest brother again and again that I would not snatch the crown prince's position, but in the end I still became the crown prince. My son, I have no face to meet my eldest brother;"

"If even the elder brother's mother fails to save her life, the minister will never be able to raise his head in front of the elder brother..."

As he said that, Liu Sheng really seemed to be 'unable to lift his head', and lowered his head deeply beside Tianzi Qi.

And at this moment, the emperor Qi Zong couldn't bear it, so he could only open his eyes again;
Lie flat on the recliner and turn your head slightly;
Looking at Liu Sheng's eyes, there was nothing but indifference and coldness.

"This is the first lesson I give you, the crown prince."

"—remember this day;"

"Remember today, you, Liu Sheng, failed to save your elder brother's mother because of your own weakness."

"Always remember today, because of your own weakness, you can only sit back and watch the situation, develop in the direction you least expect, get the result you least want to see, and bring you pain."

"—Being the crown prince does not mean that you, Liu Sheng, have the power to kill and dominate."

"Power is won, won, or even robbed by oneself!"

"Instead of relying on other people's charity and giving."

"I will teach you;"

"But it will definitely not help you."

"——From Young Master Sheng to Prince Sheng, I have paved the way for you;"

"But the road from Prince Sheng to Tianzi Sheng, you can only walk on your own..."

Said these words in a strong tone that was bone-piercingly cold but made one unable to resist the thought, Tianzi Qi closed his eyes again;

Turning his head to the side with his back facing Liu Sheng again, he waved his hand lazily to Liu Sheng.

"Go..."

"I'm tired..."

"—Remember to go to Changle Palace;"

"In a few days, accompany me to Ganquan Palace and stay for a while..."

The weaker voice of command made Liu Sheng, who was full of thoughts, only nodded subconsciously.

He bowed his hands to Tianzi Qi, then turned sideways, and was about to walk away, but only then realized that he turned around full of doubts.

"Father, what are you going to Ganquan Palace for?"

"—I'm sick~"

"—Bubble hot springs, nourish your body..."

The relaxed tone made Liu Sheng frowned again, and looked at Tianzi Qi in front of him, who was sleeping with his eyes closed on the recliner, full of distrust.

"Father, are you really sick?"

But seeing the emperor Qi heard the words, he was silent for a moment, and then suddenly laughed;
He didn't move his body at all, he only raised his head slightly, and looked at Liu Sheng with a half-smile.

"Guess what?"

　I've been too tired recently, I didn't hear the alarm clock, I got up late~
