I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 357 The Wheel of History

In this way, under the deliberate "indulgence" of Empress Dowager Dou, the first grand court ceremony in the first year of the emperor Shengxin was presided over by Liu Sheng, who had not yet been crowned as a pro-government, and ended smoothly.

As for the big plan, today is just the beginning - in the next two to three months, all officials in the entire Chang'an court will be busy with relevant approvals and checks.

The court was so busy that it provided Liu Sheng with rare leisure time;
——Since Liu Sheng ordered all the elder brothers, as well as Liu Zhi, the only younger brother who was crowned king, to return to Beijing for the funeral, Liu Sheng has never been able to find a chance to talk and catch up with the brothers.

The free time after the Dachaoyi is undoubtedly a good opportunity to exchange feelings, have a good talk, and chat with the brothers.

It's just that the occasion of this exchange greatly exceeded the expectations of the brothers.

——It is neither the Weiyang Palace Xuanshi Hall where Liu Sheng lives now, nor the Shanglinyuanwei hunting ground where Liu Sheng, as the emperor, should have taken his brothers out for fun according to the usual practice.

Liu Sheng directly set the occasion for this meeting at the Crown Prince's womb who was banned indefinitely after the death of the emperor...

·
"My lords, how long will it take to arrive?"

In the north of Chang'an City, the Grand Palace Jiaguan.

Compared with Weiyang Palace Xuanshi Hall, which is both unfamiliar and familiar, and at the same time allows Liu Sheng to feel the emperor's inspiration all the time - feel the presence of Emperor Daxing Xiaojing, Liu Sheng is undoubtedly more accustomed to staying in this prince In the palace.

In fact, to be honest, the place where Liu Sheng really lived comfortably was the Xuande Hall where he lived with his mother, Empress Dowager Jia, and elder brother Liu Pengzu since he was a child.

But time flies, things change;

The former son Sheng, experienced the transformation from son Sheng to prince Sheng, and now he has become Tianzi Sheng;

The former Mrs. Jia also experienced the identity change from Mrs. Jia to Empress Jia, and now she has moved to the East Palace and is the Queen Mother of Han.

To put it simply: Now that he is the son of heaven, he has become the co-lord of the entire Weiyang Palace, and even the entire Han Dynasty. If Liu Shengzhen lures his brothers to his "harem", if it spreads, it may still be spread. What kind of foul language.

After all, similar things have not happened before.

—— According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Xiaohui, Lu's relatives, mainly Lu Lu, Lu Tai and other core figures, used to rely on their own identities to enter and leave the palace without any scruples.

As a result, eight years have passed since Emperor Xiaohui passed away, and after Empress Dowager Lu was buried, the seven numbers of Emperor Xiaohui were all in the mouths of "loyal officials" such as Chen Ping and Zhou Bo, and became "not the son of Emperor Hui".

Back in the womb, Xia Que obviously felt a little emotional. Although she hadn’t moved out of the womb for a long time like Liu Sheng, the same thing as Liu Sheng was: the change of identity made Xia Que feel the same when she saw this place. When I had just been away from the uterus for only a few months, it was inevitable that I felt an illusion as if I had passed away...
"Your Majesty."

"The king of Linjiang and the king of Hejian are all dressed up, and they seem to want to wait for King Lu to go out first, and then follow them."

"The King of Lu, the King of Jiangdu, and the King of Jiaoxi are all waiting for King Zhao."

"The king of Changsha seems to be planning to go out last, and so is the king of Jiaodong."

"As for King Zhao..."

It was obvious that Xia Que had some "unspeakable secrets", but Liu Sheng didn't say anything, just waved his hands indifferently.

"Go, hurry up."

"As a younger brother, how can there be any reason to make brothers wait?"

"As my younger brother, I have been waiting in this womb for a long time."

The indifferent tone, which seemed to be calm and angerless, but calm enough to make people tremble, only attracted Xia Que to bow in a hurry, and immediately trotted away towards the door of the palace.

But inside Jiaguan, watching Xia Que's back as she walked away quickly, Liu Sheng's attention still couldn't move away from the bamboo slips in his hand and Xia Que's words just now.

——Just now, Xia Que's seemingly unremarkable recitation actually contained a lot of content.

Let’s talk about Linjiang Wang Liurong and Hejian Wang Liude, as the eldest son and second son of the first emperor, especially if they are compatriots of the same mother, they said that Liu Sheng, as the son of heaven, had to be polite when they came to Liu Sheng’s face. I'm a younger brother too' or something.

The result turned out to be good: the eldest and second sons of the first emperor actually waited for Lu Wang Liu Yu, who was the fourth son?

Perhaps for ordinary people, the actions of Liu Rong and Liu De did not have any intriguing and deep intentions.

But to Liu Sheng, the thoughts of the two brothers can be seen at a glance...

"Brother, this is telling me: this is the position of 'Big Brother', Big Brother doesn't sit..."

"As for the second brother, he is still the same as usual, obeying the eldest brother..."

Continuing to think about it, Lu Wang Liu Yu, who was waiting for the eldest Linjiang Wang Liu Rong and the second Hejian Wang Liu De, also took two younger brothers - the old five Jiangdu Wang Liu Fei, the eighth Jiaoxi King Liu Duan, waiting for the seventh son: Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu.

What do you mean?
Could it be that the fourth brother, Liu Yu, does not take the position of "big brother"?
Actually it is not.

Being thrown into disarray by Liu Rong's 'I'm waiting for the fourth brother', Liu Yu, King of Lu, was undoubtedly grilled on a charcoal grill.

As long as Liu Yu dared to go out first and reach the Taiwort first, then Liu Yu would never want to take off the title of 'the head of the former emperor' in his life.

The head of the former emperor's sons, does it sound good?

Hey!
It really sounds good!

If it doesn't sound good, the "heads of the first emperors" in the past dynasties will not all be the current monarchs themselves.

What's more, the current Han family has basically completed the part of suppressing the vassals by force after quelling the Wu-Chu Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, but as the late emperor Liu Qi said before his death: the Han family slashed the vassals, and the Wu-Chu rebellion was only settled. just start.

If you want to take out the evils of the princes and vassals in a real sense and threaten the Chang'an Central Committee, Liu Sheng, and even Liu Sheng's sons and grandsons, must continue to carry out the follow-up package of measures.

At the same time, even if the mighty Wu-Chu Seven Kingdoms Rebellion was successfully put down by the Chang'an court in just three months, it is theoretically impossible for the clan princes in Kanto to raise troops, and the Chang'an Central Committee is always ready to deal with it at any time Any rebellion of clan princes.

In this way, the problem is simple.

——The head of the former emperor's sons, now, he is a good elder brother of the brothers, but if there is any disturbance in the Kanto in the future, then the hat of "the first emperor's sons" will instantly become "" The head of the rebellious kings'.

Therefore, Liu Yu threw the hot potato that Liu Rong threw over to King Zhao Liu Pengzu without even thinking about it.

The elder brother of a compatriot made a decision, and the position of the younger brothers Liu Fei and Liu Duan was naturally the same as that of the second brother Liu De: what the elder brother says, we do as the younger brother.

As for the lack of sense of existence, they are basically equivalent to Liu Fa, the king of Changsha who was sealed into the "wild land", and Liu Zhi, the youngest king of Jiaodong among the ten brothers.

It's just Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu...

"My brother~"

"Hey;"

"I don't know who I'm nesting in the palace again, trying to figure out who..."

Sneering and shaking his head, Liu Sheng finally turned his eyes away from the palace gate;
Lowering his head slightly, he saw that the scroll in his hand had obviously just been transcribed not long ago, and he lifted the scroll with the words "Xiuyi Commander" down. Liu Sheng's face was full of sarcasm, but it was even more visible to the naked eye.

As Zhou Ren said before: Xiuyiwei, a monster written as a secret guard organization and read as an intelligence department, has grasped the movements of every Kwantung prince in the past few decades.

——Including Nanyue King Zhao Tuo!

It’s just that compared to the outrageous specifications of the clan princes in the Kanto region, such as “what to eat, what to drink, who to sleep with, and how many times to have sex”, Xiuyiwei’s surveillance of the Nanyue King Zhao Tuo is limited to the reports that come back every few months. a briefing.

The content is also mostly clichés, such as "Zhao Tuo called himself Zhen again~" "After leaving the palace, he sat on the left side of the yellow house~" "South Vietnamese officials called Zhao Tuo His Majesty~" and so on.

In the past few years, especially when the first emperor Liu Qi was gradually exhausted and was seriously ill for the past two or three years, the Embroidery Guards had monitored Liu Sheng's brothers astonishingly closely.

It was just such monitoring that allowed Liu Sheng to see a side of his brothers who were unknown, and even unlikely to be recorded in the history books...

"The king of Linjiang was fond of birds, but he didn't dare to collect and waste them wantonly, so he ordered the palace people to set up hemp nets secretly, use rice as bait, catch birds and play with them day and night;"

"If you don't hear the chirping of birds for a day, you will be depressed, and you will have no desire to sleep or eat..."

——Boss Liu Rong discovered the joy of playing with birds more than 1000 years in advance, and has developed to the point where he can't eat or sleep without hearing the birds' calls.

···
"The king of Hejian was fond of literature and fu, but he didn't dare to search for them, so he used his private treasury to ask for slips of letters. Anyone who got a good book from the people would be able to write it back, and kept the original copy, and rewarded him with gold, silver, jade and silk to attract people. Book of the Quartet;"

"Because there are old books, most of them are dedicated to the King of Hejian, so the number of books he got is comparable to the books in Shiqu Pavilion in Chang'an; the books he got are all ancient prose and Qin old books..."

——The second child, Liu De, is a serious person, and he has become a book collector;

It’s just that the books are not enough to send back a handwritten scroll, and in the past few years, the collection has been comparable to that of Weiyang Palace Shiqu Pavilion, which is the official collection of the Han Dynasty. books······

Liu Sheng didn't know what to say, but felt something strange in his heart.

···
"The king of Lu is very sensual, raises dogs and horses, conscripts labor and wastes money, especially when Uncle Tian, ​​the prime minister of Youguo, returns to Beijing and the latter is even worse."

"In the ninth year of Emperor Xiaojing, the king of Lu ordered the expansion of the palace, the house of Kongqiu was destroyed, and the outer wall was dug out, and the music played by the chime and zither was obtained. The Analects, Shangshu, Rijing, and Xiaojing are all ancient texts. , Nai said: Ancient Chinese Classics..."

——The fourth brother Liu Yu is even more important!
The first-hand ancient prose book suddenly awakened Liu Sheng's past life memories that had been dormant for many years!

It is impossible for Liu Sheng to forget such an ancient deception like Gu Wen Shang Shu.

But no matter what, Liu Sheng never thought that the big butthole who arranged this good show was actually Liu Yu, his fourth brother who he played with since he was a child...

···
"The king of Jiangdu is very powerful. He manages the palace and recruits heroes from all over the world. He is very arrogant."

"Every time I get drunk, the king sighs and talks about it: I only hate being born in the emperor's family, and don't be able to raise a knife to conquer captives..."

——Liu Fei is normal.

Considering Liu Fei's personality from childhood to adulthood, Liu Fei's current living conditions are completely normal and can no longer be normal.

At least compared to his brothers who only know how to wield knives and guns, and occasionally cosplay, Liu Fei, who has been addicted to generals, is really too normal...

···
"The king of Changsha wept day and night and missed his mother, pure and filial;"

"Emperor Xiaojing entered the court in the seventh year. He obtained the Guanzhong land from the north of Chang'an, brought it back to Changsha, and set up Wangmu Tower."

"Knowing the death of Emperor Xiaojing, the king of Changsha couldn't help mourning, and the weeping gradually stopped when the palace people said, 'The Queen Mother is coming'..."

——Liu Fa is still that little transparent;

It's just that compared to the past, Liu Fa now seems to have more of a filial son.

Liu Sheng was noncommittal.

As a "similar person", Liu Sheng is also very supportive of Liu Fa's ability to have such a new personality.

Especially such a normal character that won't make people stunned......

···
"Since the queen mother went to Handan, the king of Zhao has no longer been treacherous in the past, and the country's prime minister, Bo Rongnu, has also been obedient to the king's words, and there has never been any objection."

"At the end of the eighth year of Emperor Xiaojing, the king sent his cronies out of Handan secretly, and went north to Daidi, but he didn't know where he was going."

"In the spring of Emperor Xiaojing's ninth year, Lieutenant Zhao reported: Zhao's arsenal has three thousand bows, one thousand spears, and one thousand spears that have been in disrepair for a long time. Please burn them and destroy them."

"Xia, Zhao Neishi secretly reported to Zhao Wang: the big event has been accomplished, and the gold is [-]..."

——Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu did not disappoint the world, relying on his own ingenuity, he directly started an arms dealer.

As a clan member, especially Liu Pengzu, who is also the king of borders, has the guts to get involved in the arms business. All Liu Sheng can say is "admiration"...
···
"Jiaoxi King..."

Seeing that in the end, only the "glorious deeds" of Liu Duan, the old eighth king of Jiaoxi, and Liu Zhi, the little tenth king of Jiaodong, remained, Liu Sheng stared blankly, and snapped the bamboo slips together.

Liu Sheng, Xiao Shi, was not worried. He had also read the bamboo slips before, and found nothing unusual about the King of Jiaodong.

As for the "brilliant deeds" of starling Liu Duan, Liu Shengzong claimed to be well-informed, but he really didn't want to take a second look...

"Ah~"

"It's just a younger brother, but it's the most worry-free;"

"Eight brothers, they just played for me..."

Muttering to himself with sarcasm, Liu Sheng raised his hand wearily and rubbed his forehead helplessly.

Regarding the virtues of his brothers, Liu Sheng can be said to be unexpected, but when he thinks about it for a while, most of them are barely acceptable.

——Playing with birds, yelling at horses, wielding knives and guns, and being a dutiful son, Liu Sheng can accept it calmly.

But the others who played too much...
"His Majesty······"

"King Zhao arrived first..."

While thinking about it, Xia Que's short, panting voice reached his ears, finally pulling Liu Sheng back from his contemplation.

After he reacted, he saw Liu Sheng took a deep breath, and it took a lot of strength and determination to put on a barely visible stiff smile.

"Let Zhao Wang wait in the side hall first."

"Send more people to urge King Linjiang."

"It's true, too;"

"Between brothers and sisters, they are actually polite..."
