I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

To be honest, Liu Sheng never thought that one day, he would face such a scene.

——Squatting in front of his elder brother Liu Pengzu who was kneeling and prostrating, he questioned his elder brother Xingshi.

Once upon a time, Liu Sheng and Liu Pengzu were brothers and sisters of the same mother;

The friendship between the two brothers can almost only be described by the words 'intimate'.

No matter where he goes, Liu Sheng never forgets to take Liu Pengzu with him, or rather follow behind his brother.

Let’s talk about what happened after Ziqi succeeded to the throne today, wherever Liu Sheng was, Liu Pengzu could always be seen, accompanying Liu Sheng, or even standing in front of Liu Sheng, protecting his younger brother behind him.

——In the seventh year of Emperor Xiandi's Yuan Dynasty, the wild boar incident happened in Shanglinyuan, which provoked the young and energetic Liu Sheng into a rage, and punched Zhidu with an old punch;

Afterwards, Liu Sheng even appeared in Chang Zhaori's Proclamation Hall in person, in front of the ministers and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, impeaching Zhidu was unfavorable and dereliction of duty.

Although in the end, Liu Sheng was able to "revenge and revenge", and later he and Zhi both settled their suspicions, but at that time, Tian Ziqi's attitude towards Liu Sheng's move was to hit each other with [-] big boards.

It was also at that time - at the time when the emperor asked Liu Sheng to worship Shen Tujia as his teacher out of the consideration of "finding something to do" for the stubborn prime minister Shen Tujia and the troubled youngest son Liu Sheng, Liu Pengzu stood up.

In order to avoid Liu Sheng's apprenticeship to the prime minister, he might find the jealousy of the prospective prince Liu Rong and the prospective queen Li Ji, or to share the firepower for Liu Sheng, Liu Pengzu offered to propose to apprentice with Liu Sheng.

Even later, Li Ji still regarded Liu Sheng as a thorn in her side and a thorn in her flesh because of this incident, and Liu Pengzu still took Liu Sheng with her every day to attend lectures in Shentujia's old Anhou Mansion;

After the rebellion between Wu and Chu was pacified, the old prime minister Shen Tujia was overwhelmed and died of illness in office. The emperor's seventh son, Liu Pengzu, never pushed his younger brother Liu Sheng forward.

During this period, Chao Cuo was instigated by the emperor to secretly destroy the front of the Taimiao Temple, intending to design the prime minister Shen Tujia, but in the end he was smashed by two brothers Liu Sheng and Liu Pengzu.

Although in the end, it was Liu Sheng who bore the wrath of Emperor Qi Taotian because of this matter, but Liu Pengzu never flinched.

——Whether it is "Liu's left side" with Liu Sheng, leading troops to surround Chao Cuo's mansion, or being thrown into prison by the emperor afterward, or moving Liu Sheng who was seriously injured out of prison, the figure of Liu Pengzu, They are always by Liu Sheng's side.

Later, whether it was Liu Sheng who was pushed to the forefront because of "too brilliant", or was unexpectedly appointed as the crown prince, Liu Pengzu never forgot his brother's responsibility.

Even between the time when the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Rong, was conferred the title of King of Linjiang, and when Liu Sheng was formally registered as the crown prince, Liu Pengzu was once considered by the public to be "the candidate selected by His Majesty" and attracted Liu Sheng. A lot of malice from inside and outside the government and the opposition.

Afterwards, Liu Sheng was going to be the crown prince, and Liu Pengzu obviously had a mother, but in order to make room for Liu Sheng to be the "eldest prince", he was adopted to the deposed Empress Bo;

Liu Pengzu had no complaints.

Liu Sheng became the crown prince, so Liu Pengzu was temporarily put on hold when he became king and became a vassal. He stayed in Chang'an to assist Liu Sheng, and Liu Pengzu had no dissatisfaction.

In the end, Liu Pengzu got the title of Zhao Wang as he wished, sitting on several counties and expanding the land, and became the ancestor of the same line.

But Liu Pengzu said: Ah Sheng don't worry;

As an elder brother, there is no reason to cause trouble for the younger brother;
When I arrive in Handan, my brother must do all the business well, and I will be at ease to guard the side wall for the Zongshe...
just now;

It was only after he left Beijing to become a vassal, arrived in Handan, the capital of Zhao, and entered his own palace as King Zhao, Liu Pengzu seemed to be a completely different person.

At least Liu Sheng can't recognize this brother anymore...

"In the past few years when the crown prince sat down, his father taught him hand in hand, and the Tai Fu gave him orders face to face. There were also countless pairs of eyes from inside and outside the court, and even the whole world staring at him. Brother, of course I have made some progress."

"It's normal for the elder brother to feel that the younger brother has changed—become a stranger."

"Then brother, why did you change?"

"Brother, why did you turn into this picture that people can't recognize at all, and people can't even believe that 'this is the emperor's seventh son'?"

"Is it really like what the folks said: Is Zhao's geomantic omen bad?"

"Could it be that King Zhao's throne will surely turn an originally pure and kind person into a rebellious minister who makes Chang'an's court worried and worried all the time?"

···
"My brother once said: I really don't want to treat my elder brother like my father treated Uncle Liang Wang in the future."

"I don't even want my mother to be in the future, because of the two of my brothers, she will be frowning and not thinking about eating and drinking all day long."

"But what I didn't say is: Brother, I really don't hope that in the future, my elder brother will end up like Yin King Liu Ruyi, You King Liu You, or Deposed King Liu Sui."

"Brother, haven't you thought about it?"

"Why is King Zhao's throne so pricked?"

"And after my younger brother became the crown prince, why did he become the king of Zhao? Elder brother???"

Said with a hint of sorrow, and then let out a long sigh, Liu Sheng finally straightened up from the ground.

Then turned sideways, put his hands behind his back, and looked out of the palace gate, and then there was another inexplicable melancholy lament, which sounded in the palace examination...

"Ugh······"

"It's true, I told my elder brother, and more than once."

"Today, let's talk to brother again."

"—Uncle Liang's situation is because Liang State is located at the pass between Guanzhong and Guandong: outside Hangu Pass."

"Before the Wu-Chu Rebellion, Father and Emperor hated Uncle Liang for what he could ask for, in order to let Uncle Liang stand firm during the Wu-Chu Rebellion, so as to prevent the rebel soldiers from getting involved outside Hangu Pass."

"As soon as the rebellion between Wu and Chu was leveled off, and the "Policies for Cutting Fans", "Decree of Tweeting Grace", and "Decree of Zuoguan" were successively promulgated, the clan and princes of the Guandong clan no longer treated the Chang'an court—no longer treated my father and my Han family. It even poses a threat to the sect."

"So, Uncle Liang's imperial brother, Meng, woke up."

"Uncle Liang Wang didn't want to wake up, and the emperor also forced the emperor's grandmother and Uncle Liang Wang to wake up from the big dream of the emperor's younger brother."

"It's just the friendship between brothers and sisters, but it can never go back..."

···
"The situation in Zhao State is much more complicated than that in Liang State."

"Since Emperor Taizu Gao's first battle in Pingcheng, Zhao Wang of my Han family has the power to control the soldiers and horses of Yan, Dai, and Zhao during the war."

"—Emperor Taizu Gao did this in order to let Zhao Wang Liu Ruyi take charge of the frontier soldiers in order to protect himself."

"But it is precisely because Emperor Taizu Gao did this that in the eyes of Empress Dowager Lu, Liu Ruyi's mother and son are so intolerable..."

"Is it that human pig that Empress Dowager Lu wants?"

"Is it for Emperor Xiaohui to let his son bear the infamy of 'sitting on the sidelines while his younger brother was brutally murdered by his mother'?"

"no······"

"What Empress Dowager Lu wants is to let Zhao Wang Liu Ruyi, an unstable factor who almost became the prince and once threatened Emperor Xiaohui, hand over the military power of the three kingdoms of Yan, Dai, and Zhao..."

"Don't you understand, brother?"

When he said this, Liu Sheng seemed to have two lines of tears on his cold and heartless face;

It's just that Liu Pengzu couldn't see this scene.

Liu Pengzu, still kneeling and kowtowing, accepting the admonition of Liu Sheng, the younger brother of his own mother and the eldest son of the current dynasty...

"After Liu Ruyi, King Yin, is Liu You, King You;"

"After that, it's Prince Gong Liu Hui."

"Three successive heirs of Emperor Gao, the great ancestor, died in the position of King Zhao, and finally made Empress Dowager Lu understand: Mrs. Liu is not reliable."

"The Kingdom of Zhao must be controlled by Lu's children who can be trusted but are not qualified to sit on the throne."

"Thus, there was Zhao Wang Lulu..."

···
"Later, the Empress Dowager Lu passed away, and Chang'an went through the chaos of Zhu Lu, and the world was turned upside down."

"Lu Lu, the king of Zhao, is gone, and Liu Sui, the son of Liu You, the king of Zhao You, was restored as the king of Zhao by the late emperor."

"Until the Wu-Chu Rebellion passed, the King of Zhao committed suicide in fear of crime because of his alliance with the Huns and plotting rebellion."

"That is to say, from that day—from the day Zhao Wang Liu Sui committed suicide, the position of Zhao Wang was left by the father to the brothers and sisters of the crown prince, prince, and mother."

"——If the eldest brother becomes the crown prince, then King Zhao will probably be the second or third brother;"

"——If the fourth brother becomes the crown prince, then King Zhao may be the fifth brother."

"But in the end, it was my elder brother who took the throne of King Zhao."

"Why is this?"

"Brother, do you have the literary talents of the second brother?"

"There are still five elder brothers Xiongwu?"

···
"Brother, what can you do..."

When he uttered the four words "He De He Neng", as Liu Sheng slowly closed his eyelids, another tear fell from that face that seemed to be resolute, but also faintly flashed a little unbearable.

Beside Liu Sheng, Zhao Wang Liu Ruyi, who was kneeling and prostrating, also began to tremble his shoulders because of sobbing softly.

Feeling his brother's remorse, Liu Sheng felt uncomfortable for a while.

There was a long silence, but suddenly he let out a sneer.

"Ah;"

"Father always said that you can't hide two ounces of sesame oil in the dog's stomach—if something happens, don't say it's on your face, it's all on your mouth."

"Today, let's talk directly to my brother."

"—King Zhao, the reason why it can only be done by the prince's siblings is because in the future, King Zhao must be the emperor's siblings."

"why?"

"Because the power of Zhao State to control the soldiers and horses of Yan, Dai, and Zhao during the war, it can be used to resist the Xiongnu when it goes north, and it can overthrow the country when it goes south."

"So unless they are siblings, the power to be more loyal to the ancestral temple and take a step back to overthrow the country is something that others are not qualified to have."

···
"In front of my elder brother, I have nothing to shy away from."

"Princes and kings, don't talk about assisting the government, governing the country, or persuading and teaching the princes and kings—that is the eyeliner of the Chang'an court!"

"That is to tell every clan prince clearly: If you dare to make trouble, I, Chang'an Chaotang, will definitely know the first time."

"During the Wu-Chu Rebellion, Zhang Shizhi, the King of Huainan, learned that his king intended to collude with Liu Bi and Liu Wu, so he lied that he was willing to lead the army, obtained the soldier talisman, and then imprisoned the King of Huainan."

"Afterwards, although Zhang Shizhi was punished by his father for 'binding himself to his king', and even died at home, the whole world knew that Zhang Shizhi was right."

"That's how princes and kings are used."

···
"Does brother know?"

"If one day, brother thinks something he shouldn't have, then the whole world will hope that Prime Minister Zhao can do something;"

"Although in the end, there is a high probability that this Prime Minister Zhao will not end well, but it does not prevent the whole world, including younger brother, father, and even the emperor's grandmother, from expecting this Prime Minister Zhao to do something."

"Because only in this way, in order to avoid this situation, the princes and kings will pay attention to the words, deeds and behaviors of the princes and kings in normal times, and play Chang'an as soon as possible."

"In the past year or so, my brother has killed the three eagle dogs of the emperor successively."

"—Three ranks of two thousand stones, wise and far-reaching, and carefully selected by the father..."

···
"So, what's next?"

"Brother, when do you plan to kill him?"

"—Father is in his prime, and Xu Shang still has ten years to live;"

"—Brother is young, and he will only live another 30 years."

"In the past four to fifty years, how many Zhao Guoxiangs will my Han family prepare for His Royal Highness Zhao Wang?"

"How much do I need to prepare to be enough..."

After saying the last sentence, Liu Sheng closed his eyes tightly, and slowly turned his face to the top of the hall;
It seems to be sighing up to the sky, and it seems to hate him for not fighting.

And at Liu Sheng's side, Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu still didn't say a word...
"The embarrassing thing, the emperor's grandmother said it yesterday;"

"Pleasant words, after the elder brother returns later, the queen mother and mother will say it."

"Brother, that's all I can say..."

···
"After you go back, King Zhao, you should think about it for yourself..."

"Lonely, no more sinister than my father;"

"But it's not like filial piety and benevolence..."

Hardening his heart, leaving this last sentence behind, Liu Sheng's feet that seemed to be nailed to the board finally started to move forward slowly.

one step, one step, one step;
Every time he took a step, the expression on Liu Sheng's face became more miserable;
Every time he took a step, Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu, who knelt and kowtowed, felt more remorse.

It wasn't until the young man reached the gate of the palace that he finally stopped.

He lowered his head, wiped away the tears on his face, and smiled twice pretending to be strong...
"Hey······"

"Then what, Xiaque~"

"Don't forget to turn around and pass a greeting card to King Zhao."

"In a few days, it will be the queen mother's birthday."

"No matter how you say it, King Zhao is also the mother's concubine..."

Leaving this last sentence behind, Liu Sheng never stopped, stepped out of the store, and walked out of the palace without looking back.

——Liu Sheng, I have to go.

Because in Weiyang Palace, there is still an old man who is less than forty years old but already dying, waiting for Liu Sheng.

But after Liu Sheng left, Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu still knelt down and cried for a long, long time.

Just like back then, the two brothers, who were busy stabilizing food prices, talked and laughed here for a long, long time...

Ugh·····

I can only say sorry, I don’t know what’s going on today, and I’ve revised it a dozen times, but the reader still repeats it.

It took nearly 50 minutes, and I don't know how many times it was repeated before it returned to normal.

Sorry everyone...
