I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Under Liu Sheng's insistence, the real "big brother" of the brothers was the first to reach the Taiwort: Linjiang King Liu Rong.

Liu Rong took Liu De out, and the other brothers no longer had any worries, and soon gathered in the Taigongjiaguan.

For the place Liu Sheng chose, all the brothers had their own thoughts, but they didn't show it at all on their faces. They only showed expressions like "things have changed", as if they were reminiscing about the past.

And after all the brothers took their seats, Liu Shengzi, with a slightly hypocritical smile, chatted with the brothers.

"How did you hear that brother, recently fell in love with birds?"

"It is said that the Linjiang palace is full of king hunters, and the birds are singing day and night, which is better than a paradise?"

The monarchs and ministers had seen the ceremony, and then the guests of honor took their seats. When Liu Sheng asked about this, Liu Rong panicked!
In such a short moment, Liu Rong recalled all the things he had done in the past few years!
After making sure that he didn't do anything taboo, and having some confidence in Liu Sheng's chest, Liu Rong finally forced himself to calm down.

But before he opened his mouth to answer, Liu Sheng, who was at the head, smiled easily, and then said again: "If you like birds, can you send someone to buy them?"

"Why make such a fuss in the royal palace, that you will lose the face of your clan and princes for nothing?"

"Furthermore, using mulberry and hemp as a net and rice grain as bait is ultimately contrary to the simple style advocated by Emperor Taizong and Emperor Xianxiaojing."

"After all, he is the eldest son of the first emperor, elder brother, you still have to set a good example for my brothers..."

"Ok?"

When he said these words, Liu Sheng had a gentle smile on his face.

But for some reason, this gentle smile, which is clearly full of 'sincerity', is so creepy in the eyes of the brothers...
"Sir, I would like to follow His Majesty's instructions..."

"—and the second brother."

Before Liu Rong could finish his sentence, Liu Sheng turned his back on him and looked at Hejian King Liu De, who was sitting next to Liu Rong, with that palpitating gentle smile.

"It was said that the second brother wanted to collect books of allusions, so he asked for books, and all of them were done by himself?"

"It is said that the second brother's footprints in seeking books are all over the hometowns of Lu, Yan, Zhao, and Wei. It is not an exaggeration to say that the second brother has traveled most of the Kanto in search of books."

"It's just that I don't know if in the future, if the theory of biology is born in the court, it is said that the second brother did not follow the rules set by Emperor Gao, and wanted to enter and leave his feudal kingdom..."

"Hi~"

"Second brother, this made me the younger brother, it's hard to do it in front of outsiders..."

As soon as Liu Sheng said this, everyone present, including Linjiang King Liu Rong, were all startled, and their eyes were full of horror when they looked at Liu De!
——Taizu Gaohuang system: All the princes who have been entrusted by imperial edicts, whether they are clan princes or princes with different surnames, are not allowed to step out of the feudal country unless they are allowed by the emperor!

Offenders will be rebellious!
And in the past few years, the brothers have heard about the second brother Liu De asking for and buying books everywhere;

But no matter what, none of the brothers thought, or dared to think, that in order to ask for a book, Liu De actually stepped on the red line related to his wealth and life...

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"The king of Hejian was young and ignorant, and made mistakes in his actions. It's because the elder brother, the minister, didn't teach him well!"

"Your Majesty, for the sake of brotherhood, please give me a lighter punishment from King Hejian..."

After Liu Sheng 'read' Liu De's criminal evidence, Liu Rong jumped out almost without thinking, and kowtowed on his knees full of determination!

What a joke!
Needless to say, Liu Sheng just said this, but if he said it in another place, Liu De would not die even if he had nine lives!
Since Liu Sheng chose to say this here in 'private' in front of all his brothers, it means that Liu Sheng did not intend to use this to make his second brother Liu De 'death'.

But before he could finish his pleading words, Liu Rong smiled on Liu Sheng's face, but stared at him with cold eyes, and wilted like a withered flower...
"Second brother, we got married very early."

"The current crown prince, even in front of the current queen, can still say that his age is not much different from the queen."

"The eldest brother said that the second brother was 'young and ignorant', which is a bit exaggerated..."

···
"In terms of age, my second brother is five or six years older than me as a younger brother;"

"If you say you're ignorant? It doesn't make sense—Second brother has read the books of sages and sages, and he follows Lu Ru's way of giving gifts. It is impossible for him not to understand the weight of the word 'rule'."

"I have been crowned as an adult, and I have read the books of sages, but I still violated the ancestral system of my Han family and did such a shocking thing..."

"Here, you can call me your younger brother, what should I do..."

Speaking of this, the smile on Liu Sheng's face gradually dissipated, and was replaced by an undisguised sullenness.

And in the Crown Prince's womb, with the sunken face of the emperor Sheng, fell into a long silence.

In the past few years, the brothers present really didn't do a few things to make Chang'an go to court and let the late emperor Liu Qi worry;
If it is said that the dragon has nine sons, each of which is different, then these brothers are just a group of demons dancing wildly, and it depends on their ability.

Earlier, in their respective feudal countries, the brothers couldn't think of these things;

Even though they realized that what they were doing seemed to be a little 'deviant', the brothers looked at the other brothers and continued to cause trouble for the place with peace of mind.

——The law does not blame the public!

It would be bad indeed if only the widows were deviant;
But everyone is the big brother, don't laugh at the second brother, I'm still afraid of an egg?
With this thought in mind, the brothers went further and further on the road of 'death'.

To this day, in front of his younger brother Liu Sheng, Liu Sheng unscrupulously tore off the fig leaf, and in front of all the brothers, was flicked with a small hook, and all the brothers suddenly woke up: In the past few years, what has become of him? What kind of person...
"Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty..."

Seeing that the elder brother of a compatriot stood up for him, but was frightened by Liu Sheng's look, he buried his head deep in front of his knees, Liu De only swallowed sharply;

Regardless of the cold sweat on the forehead, Dang even changed from kneeling to kneeling, and wanted to say something, but he could only say a few words of "Majesty".

After a long time, Liu Sheng finally stood up with a sullen face, put his hands behind his back, and turned his body a little sideways.

"Second brother, what books have you got over the years?"

When the incident got to this point, Liu De had already been frightened to death. Almost at the same time Liu Sheng's words fell, he hurriedly replied: "Report, Your Majesty!"

"The books obtained by the ministers and ministers are quite complicated, and there are also many miscellaneous rumors from a hundred schools of thought that cannot be put on the table, and most of them are fragments."

"Slightly better, and can be published in front of you, there are dozens of kinds such as "Poetry", "Zuo Zhuan", "Zhou Guan", "Book of Rites"..."

Hearing this, Liu Sheng sneered in his heart.

Dozens of "Poetry", "Zuo Zhuan", "Zhou Guan", "Book of Rites" and so on.

——Dozens more!
Like "Poetry", "Li" and "Zuo Zhuan", if you take out any one at random, you can basically declare it to be the "only unique copy in the world". In the past two or three years, Liu De has already Got 'dozens'.

Not dozens of books, but dozens of kinds...
"I heard that King Shang Tang only had a land area of ​​seventy miles in the beginning, but eventually replaced Xia;"

"At first, King Wen of Zhou only had a land area of ​​[-] miles, but in the end he replaced Shang."

"Is it because they have a large number of soldiers and a vast land that they can finally achieve great things?"

"—probably not."

"The king of Shang Tang replaced Xia with a land of seventy miles, because Xia Jie had no way, and Shang Tang obeyed the order of the heavens, and won the favor of all the people in the world."

"King Wen of Zhou replaced Shang with a land of one hundred miles. It was also because of the tyranny of Shang Zhou that the world could not tolerate it. Only then did King Wen of Zhou Xing Ji Zhou Sheji enjoy the country for more than [-] years."

···
"I've also heard that those who use force to conquer others don't really obey him, it's just that they don't have enough strength to resist."

"It's like the Huns who are afraid of power but not moral: when they are not strong enough to resist, they submit; when they are strong enough to resist, they must be ready to move."

"The reason why I, Zhuxia, are not barbarians like the Xiongnu is because the dynasties of Xia did not submit to the world by force, but relied on virtue to gain the approval of the people of the world."

"It seems that the second brother also understands this truth..."

"——now, the second brother is sitting in Hejian County, with a land area of ​​hundreds of miles, which is much better than King Tang of Shang and King Wen of Zhou;"

"As long as we accumulate more virtues and win the love of the people in the world, we will be able to obey the fate and destroy the 'tyrants' just like King Tang of Shang and King Wen of Zhou when there are Jie and Zhou in our Han family."

"Or, this Jie, Zhou and his ilk, maybe even I?"

A light sentence, like a heavy hammer, hit Liu De's heart hard, making Liu De's complexion pale and cold sweat dripping down, but he could no longer say a single word.

Even Linjiang King Liu Rong, kneeling and prostrate in the center of the hall, has completely lost sight of the majesty of his clan and princes at this moment, only trembling slightly, letting the sweat follow the trembling of his body, and dripping on the before.

Tang is seventy miles away, and King Wen is hundreds of miles away!
Just these ten short words are enough to scare a prince to death on the spot!
--what you up to? !

——The founding king? ? ?
The translation of those ten words actually means this...

"The farmer's job is to sow in the spring, work in the fields all summer, and harvest in the fall."

"The businessman's duty is to set off from his hometown in the spring, and do business all the way, so that the goods from all over the place can be circulated to other places and seek their interests."

"The duty of a craftsman is to come to the workshop every morning to beat and temper the utensils that can be used by people."

"The duty of officials is to maintain the stability of a place so that the locals can live and work in peace and enjoy themselves."

···
"If farmers want to buy and sell things, they have to go to the market. If they want to make a living, they need to change their agricultural registration to business registration."

"If a craftsman wants to cultivate the land, he also needs to change his craftsman's registration to an agricultural registration."

"Whether you are a farmer, businessman, or craftsman, if you want to be an official, you need to be elected, and your identity and ability will be checked by the court."

"——This principle is what kind of people do what kind of things."

"If you want to cultivate the land, you must first be a farmer; if you want to profit from merchants, you must first be a merchant; if you want to make a living by craftsmanship, you must first be a craftsman."

"And if you want to govern the people, you need to be an official first."

···
"Collecting books and allusions is what the court should do;"

"Using one's own money to buy a lot of books is also what the emperor should do."

"If the second brother wants to do these things, he should be the emperor first."

"As long as the second brother wants it, I, as the younger brother, will definitely not dominate the throne."

The cold and indifferent tone only caused all the brothers in the hall to bow their heads, but they couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

——The rules of the old Liu family: If the head of the family is willing to scold, then there is still salvation.

If you want to talk about you, it means that you want you to change, and you think you can change for the better.

What's really scary is that kind of indifference, and laughing at saying nothing...

"Criminal!"

"Follow Your Majesty's edict!!!"

···
"After returning to the country, I must urge King Hejian to send all the collected books to Chang'an, and never ask for books from the people again."

"If the king of Hejian commits the same crime again, I am willing to share the same crime..."

Liu Rong made his attitude clear: If I can't control my brother anymore, I will sit with him;
After Liu Rong's statement, Liu De also kowtowed again and again in a hurry, expressing that he would not commit another crime.

And when the two brothers kowtowed again and again, Liu Sheng's bitter, helpless, and angry eyes fell on Liu Pengzu, the elder brother of a compatriot, and Liu Duan, the starling...
"If there are too many words, I won't say anything."

"Except for Xiao Shi, everyone here is my elder brother. As a younger brother, there is no reason to admonish my elder brother."

"I just hope that the kings will think about it after they go back."

"—Your brother is sitting on the throne, but he is not as comfortable and stable as he looks;"

"Brothers, please take care of my little brother..."

···
"After returning to the country, King Zhao asked the lieutenant and Nei Shi to visit Chang'an."

"From now on, King Zhao will not intervene or intervene in Zhao's arsenal."

"There is also the king of Jiaoxi. In recent years, there have always been palace people who died in the palace."

"There are different opinions inside and outside the government and the public, and the words are not very pleasant."

"King Jiaoxi, pay more attention to yourself..."

After roughly and vaguely clicking on the seventh brother Liu Pengzu and the eighth brother Liu Duan, Liu Sheng took a deep breath full of exhaustion, and then slowly exhaled it.

After holding back for a long time, he finally squeezed out a sincere smile and smiled at everyone.

"We were brothers for a long time, but it really shouldn't be caused by me as a younger brother to make such a fuss."

"Brothers, don't take it to heart..."
