My life is like walking on thin ice

Chapter 17 Liang "Xiao" King
"When that time comes, the only person the Chang'an court can rely on is Ah Wu."

"Awu, don't you understand yet?"

While waiting for the continuation of Liu's prostitution, Liu Wu frowned when he heard this question.

"Of course I know these things."

"The emperor's brother cut down the feudal vassals for the sake of the stability of the ancestral temple and the country. It is also necessary to get rid of the old traitor of King Wu, which is also the reason why the title should be stated."

"When that day comes, of course I, my younger brother, will defend Suiyang and prevent the old thief King Wu from sending his soldiers to Hangu Pass."

"——Even if I don't miss my brother, as the late emperor's heir, I will never do anything to disgrace my ancestors of the Han family on such a major event!"

"And what does this matter have to do with the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince?"

Seeing Liu Wu step by step falling into the trap he had carefully prepared according to his own expectations, the corners of Liu Piao's mouth only slightly tilted up in an invisible arc.

But on his face, Liu Piao had a look of hatred, as if Liu Wu didn't understand what he meant, which was even more disappointing than not knowing that one plus one equals two.

"The king of Wu coerced the kings of Guandong to raise their troops, but Awu stopped him east of Liang and outside Han Valley. After the rebellion was put down, who dares to say that Awu did not take the lead?"

"With such tremendous achievements, as the emperor, can Aqi not be rewarded?"

"But if it's a reward, how should it be rewarded?"

·
"——Awu, is already a prince..."

"There is the late emperor, Aqi and the queen mother, and there are all kinds of things in the world."

"Awu has no shortage of gold, silver, pearls and jade. He has official positions and high salaries, and Awu is the king of Liang."

"Aqi, how should we reward the person who contributed most to putting down the rebellion?"

Hearing this, Liang Wang Liu Wu thought he understood what Liu Piao meant, and immediately raised his hand to interrupt Liu Piao's words.

"No need!"

"Don't say that I am the younger brother of the same mother as today's emperor and the legitimate son of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen;"

"Then I said no. As a prince of the Liu Han clan, I should also serve the country, with the ancestral temple and the country as my top priority."

"——The old thief King Wu wants to mess with the hearts of our Han family. Everyone will find it and kill him!"

"Even if I put down the rebellion on my own, I won't ask for a reward from my royal brother."

"If the Emperor's brother is in trouble, I can take the initiative to refuse the reward. I will never make it difficult for the Emperor's brother."

After saying these words, Liu Wu felt a sudden thought, as if King Wu Liu Bi had rebelled against him, and he had really put down the rebellion by himself, and then he righteously refused the reward from the court.

The more he thought about it, the more Liang Wang Liu Wu felt that he should do this. Even if he had a plan: when he returned to Liang State, he could think about it and write a memorial to refuse the reward first.

I never thought that Liu Guo's long words would be like a heavy hammer, shattering all the beautiful visions of Liang Wang Liu Wu;

Behind the shattered vision was the vague face of Emperor Qi, and the deep eyes that seemed to have stars flowing...

"If you are not rewarded for your first contribution to quelling chaos, what will the world think?"

"What do you think of the meritorious soldiers?"

"What will all the officials in the court think?"

With a light word, it was as if he had used acupuncture skills to hold Liang Wang Liu Wu in place, and Liu Piao stood up.

Shaking his head and sighing, he walked out of the house, looked out of the house with desolate eyes, and said with bitterness: "Awu won the first victory in quelling the rebellion, but he declined the reward. How can other meritorious soldiers have the nerve to accept the reward?"

"Awu is the sibling of the emperor's mother. Who would believe Aqi and really refuse to reward his younger brother?"

·
"The only result of Awu's actions is that other meritorious soldiers will think that this is a drama that the emperor and his brother have discussed, and the purpose is not to reward the soldiers who have contributed to quelling the chaos."

"——Aqi, I won't allow this to happen."

"So Awu must accept the reward, and he must get the highest level of reward."

"This is the crux of the problem." "As the King of Liang, the only reward that A Wu can get and get is the position of crown prince..."

These words made Liang Wang Liu Wu very upset. He wanted to speak many times, but he swallowed them back.

After being restless for a while, Liang Wang Liu Wu stood up impatiently and came to Liu Guo's side with his hands behind his back.

"What did the Queen Mother say?"

Then Liu Piao said with a bleak tone: "The Queen Mother said that after the rebellion is put down, if Awu does not get a reward, no matter what the reason is, it will chill the hearts of the world."

"And the only thing the emperor can reward Awu is a big position."

"So, instead of the two brothers being suspicious of each other and the emperor being in a dilemma in the future, it is better to make the decision now and make Awu the crown prince and younger brother."

"This is a way to get the best of both worlds. It will not embarrass the emperor, but it will also not frustrate the people of the world, especially the soldiers who have done great work in quelling the chaos."

"In the future, Awu will inherit the ancestral temple and the country. It will take a hundred years before the throne is returned to the emperor's heirs. This will not disrupt the inheritance of the Han family."

"It's just that the Queen Mother couldn't tell Ah Wuming directly, so she sent me here to ventilate Ah Wuming first..."

·
"These are all my mother's thoughts. Speaking of myself, I also have something to say to Awu."

"——Ah Wu, think about it, the queen mother is already over fifty."

"We, as children, count the days we can spend with our mother on our fingers, and every day passes by."

"Although I have lived in Chang'an for a long time, I am still a girl..."

"Even if he doesn't want the position of crown prince, how can Ah Wu stay in Chang'an in the name of the prince and serve his mother by his side for a few more years?"

"If you don't want this reserve position in the future, you can also submit a letter to resign..."

Liang Wang Liu Wu no longer listened to what Liu said after his prostitution.

Just that sentence: The queen mother was over fifty years old, and her days were getting shorter and shorter. The mind of King Liang Liu Wu was completely occupied by that loving, peaceful, and wrinkled old face.

Liang Wang Liu Wu may have been a very naive romantic;
Perhaps he is incompetent in writing and martial arts, has no city, no skills, and has never even seen the dangers of the world.

But it was precisely because of this that Liang Wang Liu Wu had a pure filial piety with almost no impurities.

——You must know that in history, the posthumous title of His Royal Highness Prince Liang is the word "filial piety".

At this moment, Liang Wang Liu Wu entered a very subtle emotional state because of the word 'filial piety'.

"If the Queen Mother also feels that I should do this, then I should listen to the Queen Mother..."

·
"It is a great thing to be able to fulfill your filial piety by your mother's side..."

·
"In any case, the Emperor's brother can only repay him with great status. Rather than making things difficult for the Emperor's brother, it would be better to take things as a matter of course..."

·
"I won't make things difficult for the emperor, and the emperor won't be suspicious of me. If the two brothers live in harmony, the queen mother will definitely be happy..."

For a time, Liang Wang Liu Wu had countless thoughts in his mind.

It's just that these ideas come to the same goal by different routes, and they all point to the same reality.

——Liang Wang Liu Wu accepted Liu Prostitute’s remarks.

It's just that Liang Wang Liu Wu thought hard, but he would never have thought that when he was in a daze, his sister Liu Piao's eyes were shining brightly...

"As for Awu, everything is fine."

"I went to find my mother again and said that Ah Wu also had this intention. Her mother doted on Ah Wu so much. When I learned that Ah Wu was like this, it was all out of filial piety..."

"Ah;"

"Ha ha……"
