I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 270 The Prime Minister of the Country is Here, Don't Dare to Hunt...

Time flies, like a white horse passing by.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the fourth year of Emperor Qi Xinyuan.

It was several months ago that Liu Rong, the king of Linjiang, entered the court under the guise of a crime.

And the result of this incident can be described as a happy one.

——Linjiang King Liu Rong, who was jointly investigated by the lieutenant and Tingwei for invading the Taimiao, was lifted high by the emperor Qi and put down gently because the prince Liu Sheng intervened.

Originally, the guilt of losing the country was light, and death was serious, but in the end, he was only ordered to contemplate in the Chang'an Taimiao for half a month.

Regarding Liu Rong's dangerous passage this time, the people inside and outside the court are of course well aware: this is the prince who came forward and saved his elder brother;

But externally, Emperor Qi still did not forget to work hard.

First of all, Linjiang Wang Xiang and Nei Shi, who impeached Liu Rong, were recalled to Chang'an for accountability.

The final conclusion of accountability is naturally unsurprising and muddy - no one is wrong in this matter, it is only a misunderstanding between Liu Rong, his prime minister and internal history that led to such a result.

Since it was a misunderstanding, then naturally there is no need for anyone to take too much responsibility for the Jiangling Ancestral Temple.

——At the very least, Liu Rong no longer needs to be punished by the Chang'an court for this.

After a brief discussion, the Chang'an court made the final decision: order Linjiang Prime Minister and Nei Shi to return to Jiangling, and restore the Jiangling Taimiao to make up for his mistake of "misunderstanding Liu Rong".

As for Liu Rong, he got the result of "Although he did not make a mistake, but as the first responsible person, he needs to bear certain joint and several responsibilities", he lived in Chang'an Taimiao for half a month.

After the thought expired, Liu Rong walked out of the Taimiao in a low-key manner, and lived in his palace in Shangguanli honestly, and hung a wooden sign of "Thank you behind closed doors" outside the main entrance.

After Liu Rong finished thinking about his mistakes, Liu Sheng planned to greet him with great fanfare;
But when Liu Rong's thought expired, Prince Liu Sheng did not end his own thought expired.

——Liu Sheng, also suffered a 'board';
——The phrase "close relatives" not only won Liu Sheng countless favors from inside and outside the court, but also from the common people, and at the same time, he also got himself a one-month ban.

So far, the case of Linjiang King Liu Rong's "invasion of Jiangling Taimiao soil" has finally come to an end.

Liu Rong survived.

With Liu Sheng's unremitting efforts, Linjiang King Liu Rong walked into his palace in Chang'an alive.

And when Liu Sheng also ended his "thinking expired" and ordered to reopen the gate of the Crown Prince's uterus, all the present sons who were summoned into Chang'an by the emperor at Liu Sheng's request have also arrived in Chang'an one after another.

Therefore, on the evening of the day when the period of thinking was over and the main gate of the Prince's Palace was ordered to be reopened, Prince Liu Sheng's invitations were sent to Shangguanli's Linjiang Palace, Hejian Palace, Lu Palace, Jiangdu Palace, Jiaoxi Palace, and Changsha Palace. ;
Even in the Qilan Palace of Weiyang Palace, Liu Sheng did not forget to send someone to send an invitation card, inviting his younger brother, the King of Jiaodong, Liu Zhi, who was not yet five years old, to come to his crown prince's uterus in the evening of the same day. feast.

Around dusk, the brothers who used to be siblings in the palace, but now they are all nobles and separated from each other, came to the side hall of the Taiwo palace one after another.

This is also the first time that the princes of Tianziqi got together after the incident that happened in Shanglin Garden at the beginning of last year...

·
"Five brothers!"

Accompanied by his elder brother Liu Pengzu, Liu Sheng walked into the hall without any hesitation, and quickly walked in front of the fifth elder brother, Jiangdu King Liu Fei.

He stretched out his hand with unconcealed excitement, and grasped Fifth Brother Liu Fei's arm, which was thicker than before. On Liu Sheng's face, he could hardly conceal his longing.

"I haven't seen you for more than a year. Brother Wu has a strong body, but he's getting stronger again?"

"—I miss my brother to death!"

After a simple greeting, he couldn't hold back his excitement in the end, Liu Sheng simply stopped putting on the prince's airs, opened his arms, and hugged the fifth brother in front of him with all his strength.

Although he tried his best, he only slapped Fifth Brother Liu Fei on the back of his elbow, Liu Sheng still pulled Liu Fei's arm happily, and went straight to the head seat.

With such a posture, the expressions of the brothers on the side all changed!
After only a moment, Liu Sheng also reacted, and shook his head with a silly smile, and shrugged with self-deprecating face.

"I'm so happy to patronize, but I forgot the incident of Qi mourning King Hui..."

"Hi;"

"Never mind!"

"Fifth brother and I will sit together at the banquet!"

"What is the main position and not the main position, let's talk about these brothers, birthright!"

As he said that, Liu Sheng ignored Fifth Brother Liu Fei's refusal and the slightly hesitant eyes of the rest of the people, pulled Liu Fei, and sat down in the banquet.

After Liu Sheng's actions, all the brothers who were still struggling with how to face and meet Liu Sheng had no choice but to sit down and look at each other.

And Liu Sheng's attention finally shifted away from Fifth Brother Liu Fei beside him after everyone took their seats.

For today's dinner, all of Ziqi's sons were present, except for the few sons born to Mrs. Wang, that is, the young masters who were still breastfeeding.

There was nothing strange about the seating positions of the people at the banquet.

——The main seat that should have been sat by Liu Sheng alone was vacated because Liu Sheng said, "I sit with Brother Wu";

The first seat in the East Seat is the boss of all the brothers—Linjiang King Liu Rong, who is looking at the opposite seat with his signature faint smile;

The second son, Hejian King Liu De, sat next to Liu Rong as usual, as if he was sitting with him.

When Liu De went down, it was directly at the last seat, sitting the former beauty of the king, the current Mrs. Wang, and the little ten who was held in the arms of Mrs. Wang, curiously looking at everyone in the hall: Jiaodong King Liu She.

In the east seat, there are only these three men and one woman.

Compared with the deserted east seats, the west seats are undoubtedly much more lively;

The first teacher is the fourth among the brothers: Lu Wang Liu Yu.

From Liu Yu down, there are Liu Fei and Liu Sheng, the old five Jiangdu kings who are seated together, Liu Fa, the sixth Changsha king, and the "Quasi-Zhao King" who has not yet been crowned king: the seventh Liu Pengzu, and the Jiaoxi king who silently sits at the bottom: the eighth Liu Duan.

The expressions of the brothers are quite interesting.

The boss, Liu Rong, has obviously walked out of the horror of almost dying in the Lieutenant's Mansion, and the smile on his face only makes people feel like a spring breeze;
Almost every three to five breaths, Liu Rong's soft eyes would subconsciously fall on Liu Sheng.

It is obvious: the previous incident brought the relationship between Liu Rong and his younger brother Liu Sheng closer by more than three or five steps.

Beside Liu Rong, the second child, Liu De, also looked at his younger brother Liu Sheng who was seated opposite him from time to time.

But compared to Liu Rong's neither humble nor overbearing, extremely gentle, and faintly humble eyes, Liu De's eyes looking at Liu Sheng are obviously a little more embarrassed and subconsciously guarded.

— not a defense against danger, against the unknown;
It's just that when facing unfamiliar relatives, the subconscious will be on guard, or alienated.

Beside the brothers Liu Rong and Liu De, Xiao Shi Liu Zhi was young and ignorant, with only the most innocent and innocent curiosity, looking at the brothers in the hall.

On the other hand, Mrs. Wang, who was holding Liu Zhi in her arms and sitting with her at the last seat, would glance at all the brothers in the hall in sequence from time to time with meaningful gazes...
Everyone in Xixi is relatively simple;
From Liu Yu, the fourth eldest in the chief seat, Liu Fei, the fifth eldest beside Liu Sheng, to Liu Fa, the sixth eldest, and Liu Duan, the eighth eldest in the last seat—the expressions on the faces of the four brothers were basically the same.

They all wore a slightly stiff smile, obviously instinctively wanting to get close to Liu Sheng, and to reunite with Liu Sheng after a long absence;
Due to Liu Sheng's current status, he had some concerns.

The most normal ones are naturally the brothers Liu Sheng and Liu Pengzu.

——Liu Sheng sat at the same table with Liu Fei, and greeted Liu Fei for a while, chatting and laughing happily;

Clutching Liu Fei's muscular thick arm, he refused to let go for a moment.

As for Liu Pengzu, he took on the role of the protagonist very well. From time to time, the sixth brother Liu Fa and the eighth brother Liu Duan who sat on both sides of him - two social phobia patients, chatted about the past two years. in their respective countries.

The brothers reunited after a long absence, and Liu Sheng put on a posture of "don't be too reserved, just open up" again. Naturally, everyone couldn't bear their private thoughts, and greeted each other with the brothers and sisters around them.

But after a brief reminiscence about the old days, everyone stopped talking unanimously, and their eyes all focused on Liu Sheng.

——In this dinner party for a few days, Liu Sheng is the undoubted protagonist.

Or it should be said: After becoming the crown prince, Liu Sheng will be the protagonist every time the brothers get together...

"I haven't seen you for more than a year. You brothers, you all have the prestige of clan princes;"

"Thinking of two years ago, we were still eating and living together in the palace, causing some troubles from time to time..."

"Hi~"

"In just two years, the sea has changed, things have changed..."

Feeling the gazes of all the brothers gathered on him, Liu Sheng sighed a little. Although he still tightly grasped the fifth brother Liu Fei's hand, he turned his sighing eyes to the eldest brother Liu Rong and the second brother who were sitting opposite him. On Liu De.

"The matter of the third brother..."

"Ugh······"

"If you are closer, you can send the imperial physician in the palace to have a look;"

"It's just that Changshan is too far away. When the news was sent to Chang'an, the third brother had already..."

···
"The third brother died, the eldest brother and the second brother lost their siblings;"

"However, even my own biological mother..."

"Ugh······"

Talking full of melancholy, at the end, Liu Sheng just slapped his thigh a little depressed.

"Drink!"

"Today, all my brothers, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

As Liu Sheng talked about the third son, Liu Yu, and Li Ji's passing away, all the brothers sitting in the hall, except for the little Liu who didn't know what happened, all had a look of sadness on their faces.

Not everyone felt sad about the death of Li Ji and Liu Yu's mother and son.

Just as half-brothers, for Liu Rong and Liu De who lost their mother and younger brother one after another, all the brothers present sympathized with the two elder brothers.

At the order of the prince, the drinks that should have been served with the meals were naturally sent into the palace in advance by the palace people.

Then the maidservants who filed in poured wine for each of the brothers. Under Liu Sheng's call, all the brothers raised their wine cups and drank them together.

"Whoo~"

After drinking a glass of wine, Liu Sheng's face was already a little depressed, but it became even more distorted immediately;

Feeling the hotness of the spirits, Liu Shengzong frowned already irritated, and said one more sentence: "Big brother, second brother, don't be too persistent about the past."

"It's rare for all my brothers to gather together. This is a happy day."

"—Let's not talk about those sad things in the past."

"Eat and drink well, and talk happily."

Still somewhat depressed, the two brothers Liu Rong and Liu De in the East seat forced themselves to suppress the sorrow in their hearts, and then nodded with forced smiles.

They were also invited to have a drink with Liu Sheng, and the two brothers bowed their heads and sighed at the same time.

——At one time, the word "Phoenix Hall" still meant the most honorable mother and son of the Han family in the next 30 years;
But now, there are four mothers and sons who had the opportunity to become the empress, the empress dowager, the prince and the emperor, and the sons of the empress and the empress dowager, and the younger brother of the prince and the emperor, but only two of them are still alive;

There are only two people left, appearing in today's Tai's womb.

If Liu Sheng hadn't made a move, even the two remaining brothers would have died.

Such a change, not to mention personal experience, even seeing it from others, or even just hearing it from others' mouths, is enough to be called a man silent and a woman crying...
"Ugh······"

After Liu Sheng mentioned Li Ji and Liu Yu, the atmosphere that was supposed to be relaxed and joyful became inexplicably depressed.

The brothers did not continue to talk to each other to express their love for each other;
In the entire side hall, there was only one sigh after another.

This situation lasted for half a stick of incense.

In the end, Liu Sheng still spoke, with an obvious deliberate smile, and revived the atmosphere.

"It's rare to get together, it will only be a few days, let's go hunting in Shanglin?"

"—Before we parted, the last time all my brothers gathered together was when my father was in Shanglin, calling us all to hunt."

"This time we meet again..."

Such a word brought everyone's guilty conscience back to their eyes. With a slightly deliberate smile, Liu Sheng looked sideways to his left, the fourth brother Liu Yu who was still separated from him by the fifth brother Liu Fei.

"Before he became a king, I remember that my fourth brother loved hunting;"

"After becoming a fan, I often heard that the fourth brother was hunting and playing around in Lu."

"how?"

"Fourth brother, would you be interested in hunting in Shanglin with all my brothers?"

Feeling the deliberateness in Liu Sheng's tone, Liu Yu knew it immediately: Liu Sheng's suggestion of hunting was obviously to enliven the atmosphere;

But after a brief hesitation, Liu Yu finally shook his head and smiled wryly, and slightly arched his hands towards Liu Sheng sideways.

"His Majesty's kindness, I appreciate it."

"only······"

···
"Ugh······"

"It's just that this time, Xiangguo also came to Chang'an with the widow when he entered the court."

"The Xiangguo is here, even if I want to, I would never dare to think about 'hunting'..."

Said helplessly, Liu Yu got up with a wry smile, and silently bowed his hands to Liu Sheng, which was regarded as declining Liu Sheng's invitation.

But after Liu Yu's gesture, Liu Sheng, who originally just wanted to enliven the atmosphere, widened his eyes in surprise,
"The Xiangguo is here, dare not hunt?"

"Don't dare???"

···
"Fourth brother is good at hunting, but is it something that my brothers will keep in mind?"

"How can Uncle Tian push the fourth brother to the point of 'not daring to hunt'?"

Full of astonishment, Liu Sheng expressed his doubts in his heart, and Liu Sheng still stared wide-eyed, as if he still couldn't believe Liu Yu's words of "don't dare to hunt".

At this time, Liu Fei, who was sitting next to Liu Sheng, finally adjusted from his unexplained restraint before.

——After all, it is the temperament of a warrior. In just a short while, Liu Fei has already left Liu Sheng's "Prince" status behind;

With no worries, Liu Fei quickly returned to the state where he and Liu Sheng talked about everything. For Liu Sheng who was surprised, he explained the reason for Liu Yu's "dare not to hunt".

"Xiao Jiu, I really don't know..."

"Since King Uncle Liang sent someone to assassinate Yuan An, and Emperor Father sent Uncle Tian to Suiyang to investigate the matter, Uncle Tian has become more and more important in the heart of the emperor's grandmother."

"By the end of last year, all my brothers became kings and vassals. It didn't take long for the fourth brother to be sued in front of the emperor's grandmother because of 'he enjoys hunting and enjoys pleasure and ignores government affairs'..."

Briefly explaining the background of this matter, Liu Fei still didn't forget to turn around with a smile and playfully smiled at his fourth brother Liu Yu;
After Liu Yu shook his head with a wry smile, and nodded to Liu Fei to say "whatever, I don't mind", he looked at Liu Sheng again.

"Fourth brother is good at hunting. This has a long history, and the emperor's grandmother knows it well."

"In the end, the emperor's grandmother appointed Uncle Tian as the prime minister of the fourth brother to discipline the fourth brother."

"After arriving in Ludi, Uncle Tian also paid a visit to the fourth brother immediately, and advised the fourth brother: You should restrain your desire for fun and concentrate on state affairs;"

"After the fourth brother agreed, Uncle Tian followed the fourth brother every step of the way, reminding the fourth brother all the time."

"—Later, the fourth brother couldn't bear it anymore, so he went to the hunting garden;"

"Seeing that I can't persuade fourth brother, Uncle Tian actually spent a whole day outside the hunting garden regardless of the scorching sun!"

"That is to say, after that, whenever Uncle Lu Xiangtian is around, the fourth brother will never dare to mention the word 'hunting' again..."

Following Liu Fei's rough and vaguely gloating tone, the eyes of everyone in the hall also focused on the head seat of the teacher.

Seeing Liu Yu shaking his head and smiling wryly again, and taking a long breath, he raised his head slightly towards Liu Sheng.

"The Prime Minister of the country is really old;"

"If there is a disagreement, I will be exposed to the scorching sun. I am really worried..."

"Knowing that I have no reason, but I can't hold back the Prime Minister, so I can only follow the Prime Minister..."

Hearing this, Liu Sheng apparently still couldn't recover from the shock that his fourth brother Liu Yu had 'stop hunting'.

——Hunting is almost Liu Yu's life!
——Liu Yu is addicted to hunting! !

And it's addictive! ! !

"hiss······"

"This Uncle Tian..."

"Is there something?"

Subconsciously said to himself, although the brothers didn't understand it very well, they roughly guessed what Liu Sheng wanted to express.

Along with the friendly chuckles of the brothers in the hall, Liu Sheng finally smiled and shook his head.

"When we get to Chang'an, fourth brother don't have to worry about these anymore."

"—just tomorrow."

"Tomorrow morning, all my brothers will go hunting in the forest."

"As for Prime Minister Lu, let me tell you."
