I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 264 Chapter 263 Watching the prince's trip since childhood!
In the early autumn of July, there is only a little more than a month left before this year's autumn harvest.

At such a critical juncture, the attention of the common people should have been focused on the fields of their respective homes.

It's just that this autumn, there are obviously more gossips in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City that can be discussed before tea and dinner...
"Hey!"

"You don't know!"

"—It is said that on that day, the crown prince came to the door in a grand manner and entered the prison of the lieutenant's mansion directly;"

"It just so happened that Goshawk Zhidu was called into the palace by His Majesty because of the matter of King Linjiang, and he was not in the Lieutenant's Mansion."

"The crown prince saw the opportunity that Zhi was not in the lieutenant's mansion, pulled Linjiang king, and rushed all the way back to the crown prince's womb!"

"It's said that Zhidu is still standing outside the Tai's womb with a sad face..."

In the north of Chang'an City, outside of the two cities, there is an unremarkable teahouse.

The ranger, who was wearing a bunt and a dagger around his waist, straightened his waist, stepped on the short table without any scruples, and described what happened in the lieutenant's mansion a few days ago with joy.

To be precise, it is a rumor.

Moreover, it has "changed hands" several times, and there have been many rumors of artistic processing.

But even so, the obviously distorted sharing by the Rangers did not dampen the curiosity of everyone present at all;
Seeing that the rangers stopped talking, a few people stepped forward at the right time, and handed over tea bowls and snacks.

The rangers obviously enjoyed being "starred by the stars" like this.

After taking a sip of tea, he casually took a few dried dates, threw them in his mouth and chewed them casually, then rolled up his sleeves again;

"Now, that Goshawk Zhidu, it's a bad retribution!"

"It is said that King Linjiang was temporarily detained in the Lieutenant's Mansion under the orders of His Majesty."

"The result is not so good now: King Linjiang was taken away grandiosely by the crown prince, and placed in the crown prince's uterus again;"

"Zhi wants to bring King Linjiang back to the Lieutenant's Mansion, but he can't even enter the gate of the Crown Prince's palace!"

"Hey!"

"When I think of the goshawk Zhidu, who was made miserable by the prince, I feel relieved for a while!"

"He is in the capital, and he has today?!"

Hearing that the knight-errants gnashed their teeth and gloated about this matter, the surrounding audience burst into laughter;
After a while, he lowered his head with his own thoughts.

Zhidu's reputation in Chang'an is actually very bad.

Just the nickname of 'Goshawk' is actually enough to prove what kind of image the lieutenant Zhidu is in the eyes of hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an.

Speaking of which, Zhidu's nickname of 'Goshawk' has actually been around for a long time.

As early as the time of the first emperor, Zhidu was appointed as Lang Guan by the first emperor because of his reputation of "bravery".

Later, Zhidu was appointed Zhonglang by the late emperor by virtue of his fairness and integrity in administration.

The Zhonglang of the Han family has always been a young talent selected from the army, the best among his neighbors;
It is no exaggeration to say: Han Zhonglang is the first group of 'reserve officers' in Chinese history.

Zhidu has never been in the army before, but he has become one of the "Youth Reserve Officers" of the Han family. This is undoubtedly the only one since the Han Dynasty.

And the nickname of "Goshawk" was originally because the prince Qi at that time gave a picture of a goshawk painted by a famous artist to Zhonglang Zhidu at that time.

Of course, this does not mean that Zhidu at that time was a follower of power;
It does not mean that the prince Qi at that time was a disdainful descendant who was eager to seize power.

——At that time, Prince Qi approached Zhidu, and Zhidu accepted Prince Qi's kindness, all under the order of the late emperor.

To be precise: Zhonglang Zhidu is one of the prince's team left by the late emperor for his own prince.

After receiving the picture of the goshawk presented by Prince Qi, Zhidu was naturally encouraged, remembering Prince Qi's encouragement of "serving the country's wings", and since then he has been on the road of a lonely minister.

Later, Zhidu became a general of Zhonglang and began to be "little famous" in Chang'an;
Then last year, Zhidu was directly promoted from a Zhonglang general who was more than two thousand stones, to a lieutenant who was rumored to be "although not Jiuqing, he actually beat Jiuqing", Zhilu Zhong Erqianshi.

Ever since he became a lieutenant and personally took charge of the Northern Army, one of the two forbidden troops in Chang'an, the title of "Goshawk Zhidu" has become more and more famous in Chang'an.

——In terms of personal morality, Zhidu is upright and upright, never following others;

For the prime minister Zhou Yafu, who was always known for his arrogance, the entire court in Chang'an was respectful and respectful, but Zhidu, even when he saw Zhou Yafu, only bowed his hands, but never bowed down.

In terms of publicity, or 'business ability', Zhidu is undoubtedly very good.

Don't shy away from dignitaries and royal relatives, anyone who violates the law, no matter who the official is, will be punished severely according to the law;
Dukes, princes, relatives, and even the clan and royal family all dared to look sideways at him when they saw him, and called Zhidu "Goshawk."

As for the rangers who 'spread gossip', it is not so difficult to understand that they have shown such hostility towards Zhi.

——The lieutenant's duty, besides personally taking charge of the Northern Army, is the most important of all, to be the guard of Chang'an, who is responsible for the public security within a hundred miles of Chang'an.

Since he is in charge of law and order, it is naturally inevitable to deal with the unstable factors that have always caused hidden dangers to local law and order in this era-the Rangers.

Counting the past few years, Zhidu, who was still a general of the Zhonglang, "overstepped the bounds" and dealt with Chang'an rangers, and after he was promoted to lieutenant, Zhidu justifiably punished the ranger group...
Today, among the knight-errants in Chang'an City, not to mention that everyone has a grudge with Zhi, at least one of every three people has a good brother who has fallen under the "Eagle Claw" of Zhidu.

But it is such a good official who punishes evil and promotes good, severely cracks down on illegal behavior, and has extremely clean personal morality, but it still makes ordinary people feel a burst of unexplained fear and inexplicable disgust.

And on this day, when they heard that Goshawk Zhi was blocked outside the uterus and couldn't even get in, the people who gathered in this tea shop also felt a burst of joy...

"Goshawk Zhidu, it's too arrogant;"

"Relying on the support of His Majesty, he has always been defiant. He never listens to anyone who entrusts him."

"I really don't know how such a person is so valued by His Majesty..."

After a brief silence, a slight murmur came to mind in the corner, which caused everyone present to nod their heads in agreement or conformity.

Not long after, someone came forward with a flattering smile and brought another bowl of tea soup to the rangers.

"Hey, good man;"

"This Linjiang king, did he smash the outer wall of the Jiangling Taimiao and bring the land of the Taimiao into his palace?"

"——If this is the case, then even if the crown prince comes forward, King Linjiang will not be able to avoid being punished by His Majesty, right?"

"At the very least, you have to be punished to go to the Taimiao and Gaomiao to think about your mistakes, and then you will be fined for a few years in taxes?"

Hearing this question, the rangers first turned their heads subconsciously and looked at the person who asked the question;
After confirming that the man had no big background, he took the tea bowl with a smile and poured it all together.

Drank the tea happily, and the rangers straightened up again with joy, and looked at everyone present with red faces.

"Speaking of this matter, I really have to say: This prince is really a sweetheart!"

"—ordinarily speaking, His Majesty was furious when the King of Linjiang was convicted and imprisoned. Even if the crown prince stood on the sidelines, no one could say anything;"

"But the prince will not!"

"Eh~"

"Say something arrogant: even I, a rough old man, wish I could be the prince's elder brother!"

"Who is a brother like the prince who doesn't want to have one?"

"Who doesn't want their blood siblings to be the ones who are desperate to save their elder brother from the fire and water?"

As soon as the rangers said this, the tea shop, which had been a little quiet because of the topic of Zhidu, suddenly became noisy again.

Everyone glanced at you and said to me, and they began to flatter Liu Sheng in this tea shop full of market atmosphere.

"If you want me to say, Your Majesty's sons, I have been watching the prince since I was a child!"

"—Thinking about the past, the title of emperor's nine sons protecting their mother like an idiot, benevolence and filial piety, no one in Chang'an knows, who doesn't know?"

"How can a person who can be filial to his mother and protect her at all costs not be a good person?"

···
"Extremely great!"

"When I was not a prince, I knew how to be filial to my mother;"

"Now that I'm a prince, I still don't forget to protect my brothers and sisters."

"Such a prince, what else do we have to worry about?"

···
"It's not like that!"

"——I heard that when the queen was pregnant with the prince, she dreamed of the golden sun in her bosom!"

"Even His Majesty was overjoyed when he heard about this, and said to the Empress: This is a sign that this son is a nobleman."

"Doesn't this mean that as early as when the queen was pregnant with the crown prince, the position of crown prince has already been expected by everyone..."

···
In the tea shop, although everyone hadn't drunk alcohol, their faces turned red with excitement;
So much so that no one noticed: In the innermost corner of the tea shop, a warrior with an obviously extraordinary background quickly disappeared into the in the crowd.

At the same time, in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, there are also countless "rumor-mongers" who are clearly born as warriors but dressed as farmers, spreading this biochemical rumor to every corner of Chang'an City.

But for this rumor, the reactions of all parties are obviously calm and somewhat bizarre...
·
"Golden day in your arms?"

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

Looking at his uncle Jia Gui in front of him, who was describing the rumors that had spread in the streets and alleys in the past few days with a horrified expression, Liu Sheng frowned suddenly.

Turning sideways a little, looking at his elder brother Liu Pengzu next to him, and his elder brother Liu Rong who was forcibly pulled back to the womb by himself, Liu Sheng's face was clear for a while.

"Madam Wang..."

"Hey;"

"I'm afraid that Tian Fu can't escape the responsibility?"

Hearing this, Liu Pengzu nodded with a smile on his face, as if he had no other views on this matter, and he had long been accustomed to it.

On the other hand, Liu Rong seemed a little surprised that Liu Sheng was so open about himself?
Seeing his elder brother Liu Rong's reaction like this, Liu Sheng just smiled and shook his head, then heaved a sigh.

"Ah~"

"Brother, don't you know?"

"——Early before the eldest brother was crowned king, the crown prince, Mrs. Wang, had already set his sights on Xiao Shi..."

The words were melancholy, although Liu Sheng still had a smile on his face, but there was obviously a little annoyance in his tone.

Mrs. Wang is the younger brother of Liu Rong, Liu Pengzu, and Liu Sheng, the mother of the ten sons of the emperor and Liu Zhi, king of Jiaodong, and the former beauty Wang.

After Empress Jia entered the Jiaofang and became the legitimate master of the harem, Wang Meiren, who gave birth to the emperor's ten sons, was once known as the "big king and beauty", and finally succeeded in being promoted to the rank of wife.

In Liu Sheng's words, this is Empress Jia's kindness to the harem to stabilize her own foundation.

But it is obvious that Wang Zhi, the mother of Liu Zhi, the tenth son of the emperor, is by no means satisfied with the status of a "madame".

What Wang Zhi wants is to become the queen of Tianziqi, and in the future, to become the empress dowager of his own son, Tianzizhi...
Hearing that Liu Sheng mentioned Wang Zhi, Liu Zhi's mother and son, Liu Rong finally nodded thoughtfully after a brief moment of surprise.

For Wang Zhi's intention to be the crown prince, and wanting to help his son to the position of crown prince, Liu Rong had already sensed it.

"When I was still in Chang'an, the third child once said: Gillian will be a crucial part of the crown prince."

"At that time, Mrs. Wang came to the door several times, trying to persuade Aunt Guantao to marry Gillian and Xiaoshi..."

The pointed words only attracted Liu Sheng and Liu Pengzu brothers to look at each other and smile;
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Pengzu finally said with a smile: "At that time, Ah Sheng and I were very puzzled by this matter."

"——Why didn't eldest brother marry Gillian, but instead gave up this marriage related to the ownership of the crown prince to Xiao Shi?"

"If you think about it, you will know that the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother cannot fail to see the key."

"In this way, the only ones who prevent elder brother from marrying A-Jiao are..."

In the middle of speaking, Liu Pengzu, who realized that he was almost aphasic, finally stopped the conversation at the right time.

But after Liu Pengzu said something that he wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but almost made the atmosphere more awkward, Liu Rong only shook his head with a wry smile, and then lowered his head.

At that time, Liu Rong really thought about marrying Gillian, and took the opportunity to sit on the throne in one fell swoop;
Unfortunately······

"Ah~"

"Times have changed, things are different..."

"Hearing these things, I feel that they are already the experience of the previous life;"

"Things of the past..."

"Hi."

"Just let him go..."

Seemingly relieved, but also faintly bitter words, only the two brothers on the side smiled stiffly and bowed their heads.

I don't know how long it took for this chest tight silence to finally quietly dissipate in the hall with Liu Sheng's soft inquiry...
"Zhidu, are you still outside the palace gate?"

As soon as the words fell, Xia Que at the side hurried forward two steps: "Yes;"

"since······"

Subconsciously speaking, Xia Que hurriedly bowed again as she glanced pointedly at Liu Rong.

"Since His Royal Highness will 'invite' King Linjiang back to the Crown Prince's uterus, the lieutenant has been waiting outside the palace gate;"

"The lieutenant said: If His Highness does not call for a day, the lieutenant will wait for a day..."

Following Xia Que's soft tone, Liu Rong's already reserved expression only showed a little anxiety.

But Liu Shengman smiled indifferently, and looked at his brother Liu Pengzu playfully.

"After all, it's been two days and one night..."

"How about meeting?"

Hearing the deep meaning in Liu Sheng's words, Liu Pengzu nodded with a smile, but he answered the wrong question: "It's hard to be a lieutenant~"

"The emperor's life is in the body, and A Sheng puts another..."

The relaxed conversation between the two brothers made Liu Rong on the side feel even more uneasy, and his face was even more ashamed.

He moved his body restlessly, remained silent for a while, and finally raised his head to look at Liu Sheng anxiously.

"or······"

"Ugh······"

"—Or else, I'd better go back with the lieutenant."

"After all, Zhidu is also following the orders of the father."

"Xiao Jiu is the crown prince, I can hide for a while, but I can't hide for a lifetime..."

Hearing Liu Rong's tone full of fear and uneasiness, Liu Sheng only shook his head slightly at Liu Rong with a relaxed smile.

"The Lieutenant's Mansion, brother will definitely not be able to go back."

"Don't say that Zhidu is now, Lai will not leave outside the uterus;"

"—Even if I bumped my head to death outside the palace gate, I would never let my elder brother go back to that dark dungeon."

"Since you've arrived in the uterus, big brother, since you're here, let's settle down..."

···
"As for Zhidu, I've been out of the palace for two full days. If I don't see you again, someone will spread gossip about me."

"I just don't know if big brother wants to see Zhidu again, or..."

"Ok?"

Listening to the first half of Liu Sheng's words, Liu Rong was full of gratitude, and pursed his lips with mixed feelings;
Just as he was about to say thank you, he heard the second half of Liu Sheng's words, Liu Rong immediately felt sorry and got up from his seat.

"Still, it's gone..."

"Since Xiao Jiu wants to see you, then I still..."

"Uh, it's still..."

Said with a slightly embarrassed face, Liu Rong pointed to the side hall where Liu Sheng placed him to live.

Seeing Liu Sheng nodding his head with a smile, he immediately got up from his seat and bowed his hands to Liu Rong.

"Then please take a break, brother;"

"As long as everything goes well, in a few days, brother, you should be able to live in the Linjiang Palace in Shangguanli..."

Regarding Liu Sheng's rhetoric, Liu Rong didn't take it too seriously.

——Until now, Liu Rong still didn't dare to hope that he could escape from Chang'an this time.

He bowed his hands politely to Liu Sheng and then led by Xia Que towards the side hall.

After Liu Rong left, the two brothers who stayed in the Jiaguan all turned their faces pale.

After a while, Xia Que went back and came to Liu Sheng's side;

He lightly asked, 'Do you want to invite the lieutenant here? ’, but saw Liu Sheng looking straight at his elder brother Liu Pengzu, shaking his head solemnly.

"Big brother was taken to the uterus by me, and the emperor must give an explanation."

"Since this is the case, instead of continuing to procrastinate, it is better to enter the palace to face the saint before the father is angry."

"It's just big brother's side..."

···
"Ugly words, I will speak with my elder brother first."

"—Go here, at most an hour, and I will be back;"

"If something happens to my elder brother when I come back..."

"Hey;"

"Brother Yu, of course there is nothing I can do."

"But if it's the eldest brother, there is really something wrong - something went wrong in the uterus;"

"Brother, you will have no face to continue to live in this world as the 'Prince Crown Prince'..."

　My physical condition has recovered a lot, and this chapter has only been written for more than four hours.

　　Although there is a gap compared with the previous three hours, it is not a small improvement compared to the six or seven hours a chapter a few days ago.

　　It's eight o'clock now, and I should still be able to write half a chapter before going to bed.

　　With this half chapter, there is a high probability that there will be a second update tomorrow.

　　Call ~
　　Thank you for your tolerance and understanding during this time;

　　Zhuzi must live up to the care and tolerance of the big fathers, and try his best to restore the normal update speed as soon as possible under the premise of physical conditions.
