Chapter 278 I’m not dead yet!

The success or failure of a thing may take a long time at certain times, or it may be just a tiny mistake at some critical junctures.

And facing an enemy like Chen, no matter how small a thing is, Chen can tell the truth and then completely suppress the person!

Even if Chen is now at a stage where he doesn't want to pay much attention to Confucianism, it is the same.

If the Confucians want to overthrow the Chen family, they must first overthrow the prince.

So they did something very stupid, something that made them feel stupid afterwards, so they silenced themselves for an entire era.

The cause of the incident is very simple, it is a "little thing" that will go down in history.

Autumn, the seventh year of the Later Yuan Dynasty.

The King of Wu brought His Royal Highness to the capital. This person is the eldest son of the King of Wu, the eldest son, the legitimate eldest son, who always looks like a butterfly when he walks through the court, and the eldest son who will inherit the entire Kingdom of Wu in the future.

And he was very loved by King Wu.

This is a good thing. After all, there are not many princes who can often visit Beijing, and Liu Bi is one of them.

The reason why the emperor did this is also very simple, because the power of Wu State is too powerful.

The area occupied by the Kingdom of Wu was already the most fertile land. When Emperor Gao Liu Bang entrusted this area to Liu Bi, he began to regret it and asked the King of Wu many times: "You won't rebel in the future, right?"

The purpose of Emperor Gao's words was to make Wu Guo guarantee and give himself a chance to "peace of mind".

But just such a word became a prophecy, directly hitting the foreheads of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing of Han decades later.

Autumn, the seventh year of the Later Yuan Dynasty.

The sky is so dry.

East Palace
Liu Qi smiled and looked at Liu Xian in front of him, with a somewhat benevolent look on his face. He understood that the reason why his father asked him to meet the Crown Prince of Wu was to win over him and stop him from talking to the court. Be against.

Under such circumstances, Liu Qi was naturally more patient with Liu Xian.

"Brother, it's your turn."

The black and white pieces were criss-crossed on the chessboard in front of him, but Liu Xian, who was sitting opposite, had a slightly proud face as he picked up a chess piece and placed it directly on a certain position on the chessboard.

At this moment, Liu Qi's expression turned gloomy.

Because with the fall of the white piece, the black dragon on the entire chessboard seemed to be "cut off". He dragged his broken body on the chessboard and lingered, while the large black piece eaten by the white piece was like Like black scales.

Liu Xian calmly picked up the black pieces from the chessboard, and said with a smile on his lips: "Your Highness, I am so lucky that I actually ate such a large piece of His Highness's chess pieces."

He seemed to have an allusion in his tone when he said, "It's just that His Highness's last move was not very good. There was a hint of anger, and there were some mistakes that he "shouldn't" have made."

"Under such a situation, if I didn't know that I was here, I would be really stupid."

Liu Qi felt the veins in his forehead throbbing, and an unknown anger surged into his heart.

He didn't know whether Liu Xian did it intentionally or unintentionally, but Liu Xian had indeed stepped on his back. In the past few years, Liu Qi had been very frustrated.

His father became more and more biased toward Liu Wu because of his "self-likeness". He couldn't take action against his younger brother because of his mother's face. More importantly, he, a brother from the same mother, seemed to be interested in Liu Wu. "Big Brother" also has some ideas!
Liu Wu even tested himself several times and talked about the "emperor's younger brother", and all at some sensitive times!
Liu Qi is not a fool. Of course he can hear the meaning of his cheap brother. If he is given face, when Liu Qi becomes the emperor, he will make Liu Wu the emperor's younger brother. When the time comes, he will take over this position. Naturally, today's Confucianism The fight with the Chen family was over.

After all, everyone knows that the struggle between the Chen family and the Confucianists is only superficial, but in fact it is a struggle between the prince and the king!
But is Liu Qi willing to give this position to his younger brother Liu Wu?
Of course I don't want to!
This is nonsense!
He had obtained the throne on his own, why should he back down at this time and let Liu Wu become the crown prince?
What's more, if Liu Wu becomes the emperor's younger brother after his death, will there be any place for his children in this world?
As for when Liu Wu will pass the throne to his Liu Qi children? What a spring and autumn dream!
How could Liu Wu give the throne he had finally obtained to his lineage again?
In the situation where there is only one throne, Liu Qi and Liu Wu have fought more than once!
Some time ago, Liu Qifang gave Confucianism a reason to impeach him because of a careless matter!

This is Liu Wudong's hand!
At this time, Liu Xian mentioned the issue of "the last move". How could Liu Qi not think more about it?

Here's the thing!

The battle to seize the direct descendants is originally formed by the interlacing of chess pieces between the two parties!

He looked at Liu Xian, who was still arrogant in front of him, and there was a hint of darkness in his eyes: "What Brother Xian said was just a momentary mistake."

Liu Qi picked up a chess piece.

"Snapped--"

There was a crisp sound and the chess piece fell.

And as the chess piece fell, the black dragon, which was still mutilated just now, suddenly took off as if it was relieved!
Correspondingly, a large piece of white chess pieces was taken away by a white jade hand!

While Liu Qi was taking the chess pieces, he looked at Liu Xian with a smile and said with a pun: "My teacher once said that his ancestor, Chen Ye, the "Holy King of Anguo and Han Dynasty" of Han Dynasty, said a very famous saying. Quotes of truth.”

“Sometimes, don’t look at the immediate success or failure, but look at the overall success or failure.”

"There is an even simpler summary of this sentence."

"It's called [The one who laughs last is the one who laughs happiest]."

"Gu Tiao thinks this is the case, how can the prince feel so?"

Liu Xian looked at himself being eaten up by a large piece of white chess pieces, and was not angry. He just continued to play chess, recovering his lost ground bit by bit.

"Is it?"

He chuckled softly: "When His Majesty the King of Han said this in the past, he probably didn't expect that some people might laugh all the way to the end."

"And some people never laugh from the beginning to the end, right?"

Liu Xian looked directly into Liu Qi's eyes and said softly: "Just as His Highness said just now, you see, the outcome is still uncertain, how do you know that you are the one who has the last laugh?"

As these words were spoken, the atmosphere between the two became even stronger.

One of your pieces and one of my pieces fell, and soon the chess pieces filled the entire chessboard. At this time, the two people were a little jealous.

The victory or defeat on the chessboard means the outcome of the current battle for the heir apparent!
The situation on the chessboard is exactly the current situation between the Crown Prince Chen and the Confucian King!
Although the Chen family and the prince are strong, they seem to be strong on the outside but weak on the inside. After all, they have not taken down the Confucian family and the Dai Wang for so long!
This has caused the outside world to speculate on Chen's current status!
When the last chess piece fell, Liu Xian sat there and stretched out his hand to look at the prince: "Your Highness, please."

The chamberlains next to the two of them were a little cautious at this time. These two were really jealous. If they did something later, who could stop them?
Especially the prince!
Who dares to stop it?

Soon, the chamberlain finished counting the "qi", but he stood there fearfully and did not dare to say a word, while Liu Xian on the side chuckled lightly and moved his hands to start counting.

Liu Qi's voice was cold and stern: "Say!"

"Who wins and who loses?"

This sentence seems to be asking not only about the outcome of this chess game, but also about the outcome of the battle for the heir!
The eunuch was crouching on the ground in fear, his whole body was trembling: "Your Highness, Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince of Wu is lucky enough to win half an eye."

These words exploded in Liu Qi's head like a thunder, and the hair on his body stood up.

He seemed to hear a voice saying in his ear: "His Royal Highness the acting king has won! You have been renamed a certain king!"

Liu Qi seemed to see his children being killed one by one by Liu Wu, and then Liu Wu looked at him with a butcher knife!

He seemed to hear the echo of that voice in his ears.

"Brother Imperial! Please abdicate!" Liu Qi seemed to hear the voices of the courtiers calling: "Your Majesty! Please abdicate in favor of the Crown Prince!"

At this moment, a thread in Liu Qi's heart seemed to be in an extreme state of tension, and he might collapse completely at any time.

At this time, Liu Xian didn't know yet and just kept talking about his words.

The proud look on his face seemed to coincide with the appearance of the acting king, as if the person standing in front of Liu Qi was the acting king Liu Wu who was showing off!
Liu Qi's hand quietly placed on the chessboard, and his face looked more calm and calm.

And Liu Xian is still talking!

He did it on purpose! His father has already said that Liu Qi doesn't dare to do anything to him this time, so why not disgust him!

Let him know that Wu Guo is not someone to be trifled with!
He looked at Liu Qi with a swish look, and said with a smile: "What's wrong, Your Highness? Is it because I won that you are sad? It's just a game of chess, it can't be like this, right?"

When these words fell, the thread in Liu Qi's mind completely collapsed.

He grinned and looked at Liu Xian: "Is it just a game of chess?"

Liu Qi tilted his head and looked at Liu Xian.

Although Liu Xian was a little frightened by Liu Qi's look, he still held his neck and said, "Isn't it? It's just a game of chess. Is His Highness the Crown Prince so narrow-minded?"

"I once played chess with Dai Wang. Dai Wang is indeed very good at chess, quite like an emperor."

Like an emperor.

Again, he is obviously the one who is more similar to his father!

Liu Qi couldn't bear it anymore. He picked up the chessboard in his hand and smashed it down!

"Crash-"

Pieces of chess pieces fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and Liu Qi had already smashed the chessboard down!

If a sound can be heard from behind him at this time, it must be "The great Han chess master returns to his throne"!
The servants beside them knelt on the ground. They looked at Liu Xian, who had blood on his head and had lost his breath after the blow. The only look in their eyes was fear!
"His Royal Highness——"

The miserable screams spread throughout the hall, and everyone was busy frantically.

Only Liu Qi stood in the hall, his expression still calm.

He was carried away by the anger just now and did something wrong, he knew this.

Liu Qi sighed slightly: "Perhaps, this is fate."

He raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the chamberlain beside him: "Clean these up and I'll go to my father to apologize."

"Just now, the Crown Prince of Wu was playing chess with Gu, and he insulted the Emperor Gao and the Emperor with his words. Gu took action out of grief and anger, but failed to control his own strength, and accidentally smashed him to death."

"You must have witnessed the whole process?"

The chamberlains looked at each other and understood, and nodded immediately. Like tigers and wolves, they immediately rushed towards the chamberlain who was following Liu Xian, directly held him down, and then killed him.

"Your Highness, when the attendants of the Prince of Wu saw the death of the Prince, they were so sad that they hit a pillar and died."

Liu Qi nodded and then tidied his clothes.

"That's right, let's follow Gu Jian, my father."

Changle Palace

Liu Heng's expression was also a little bad. He could see the scornful behavior of Wu King Liu Bi, but he could not kill a prince king because of these things. After all, the power of Wu State was still very powerful.

Liu Heng did not want to engage in more war.

At this time, the embroidered messenger walked in quickly and whispered something in Liu Heng's ear.

Liu Bi looked at this scene with a flash of displeasure in his eyes.

Liu Heng's expression changed faster and faster, and finally showed a helpless "pleasure". He put down all pretense, raised his head and looked at Liu Bi, and said softly: "King Wu, do you know what happened just now?"

King Wu's expression remained unchanged: "What happened? Your Majesty is actually asked to deal with it?"

Liu Heng lowered his head, and his aura changed again, becoming a little scary.

"Just now when the Crown Prince of Wu was playing chess with the Crown Prince, he made rude remarks and insulted me and even Emperor Gao."

He looked at King Wu: "This is a capital crime."

King Wu's expression changed, did this matter involve Emperor Gao?

There is no broad-minded person in the Liu family!
I'm afraid Emperor Gao is just an excuse, and the father and son Liu Heng and Liu Qi are the real drama!

He quickly knelt down on the ground with a look of shock on his face.

"It's really unfilial for Quanzi to say such things."

"I beg your Majesty to punish me!"

Punishment?

Liu Heng looked at King Wu, his expression still calm.

"No need to punish."

King Wu had some bad premonitions in his heart. He raised his head and looked at Liu Heng and said, "If you don't punish the dog for this matter, I will feel uneasy! Your Majesty, please punish me!"

There were sounds of footsteps in the distance.

Prince Liu Qi walked over covered in blood, with a slightly fierce look on his face.

Looking at Liu Qi's appearance, Liu Bi felt even more uneasy.

He looked at Liu Heng and asked, "What does your Majesty mean? What does the Crown Prince mean?"

Liu Qi walked to Liu Heng and knelt down on the ground: "The Crown Prince of Wu spoke in contempt of his father, Emperor Tianwei, and insulted his ancestor, Emperor Gao. My son is incompetent and cannot maintain the majesty of his father and Emperor Gao, so he killed this thief with a chessboard!" "

For a moment, there was some silence in the hall.

Outside the hall

The news spread quickly.

The prince killed the prince of Wu!
Kong Yun stood in the mansion, trembling with excitement. He saw his opportunity to completely remove the prince!
