My life is like walking on thin ice

Chapter 81: Is the whole world rebelling?

When King Liu Wu of Liang Dynasty entered the court, the eldest son Liu Rong gave him a heads-up, casting a thick shadow over Liu Wu's dream of becoming the crown prince and younger brother.

Changle in the East Palace, even though Empress Dowager Dou was angry, she had to force herself to calm down and start making targeted plans based on the current situation.

Princess Liu of Guantao has not been idle since she was a prostitute. She mobilized all the power she could use to try to eliminate the negative impact caused by Liu Rong's premature mention of the word "Emperor's Crown Prince" both inside and outside the court.

Even Liang Wang Liu Wu, under the guidance of his mother, Empress Dowager Dou, and sister Liu Piao, began to wander among high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and began to build momentum for himself.

After discovering this series of chain reactions, Emperor Qi, who was firmly in the Weiyang Palace, wished he could grin behind his ears.

——If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Qi was used to having a sullen face when there was someone around him.

But even though his energy-raising skills were bottomless, the emperor still had an uncontrollable smile on his face.

Compared with the faint smile that usually hangs on my face, this smile is deep in my eyes and so sincere...

"We're all busy cleaning up the mess that bastard caused, so we don't even have time to have doubts."

"Even I was able to take a step back. From the original 'willing to establish the emperor's younger brother', I changed it to suspense and dilemma..."

"—Is it all that bastard's plan?"

"Or maybe it's just a coincidence..."

Standing on the far platform outside the Xuanshi Hall of Weiyang Palace, with a bastard saying on his lips, Emperor Qi's smiling eyes were frequently directed towards the Phoenix Hall in the northeast corner of Weiyang Palace.

Liu Rong did a great job in this matter!

At least from Emperor Qi's point of view, Liu Rong not only completed his mission this time, he even took care of a lot of Emperor Qi's planning!
——Earlier, Emperor Qi was afraid that his younger brother Liu Wu would not be fooled, so he had no choice but to take the risk of changing the order in the morning and evening, and mentioned the matter of the crown prince's younger brother in private in front of Liang Wang Liu Wu.

If there is no follow-up treatment, in the future, Emperor Qi will still have a headache on how to explain his "not fulfilling his promise" to his mother, Queen Mother Dou.

Now it's simple.

I originally wanted to make the emperor the younger brother!
But when the eldest son of the emperor makes such a fuss, I am really hesitant.

In this way, Emperor Qi Ri later regretted it, which can be regarded as having a factual basis: I was in a dilemma from the beginning, and I really didn’t know what to do;
After thinking about it for such a long time, I still felt that I couldn’t do it.

Everything has returned to the same state as before. The King of Liang is still the King of Liang, the eldest son of the emperor is still the eldest son of the emperor, and the old thief of King Wu has also been crowned. Everyone goes back to their homes and finds their mothers...

perfect!

In addition, the emperor Qi's current state of "originally swearing, but now having doubts" also made the scene more realistic and dispelled most of Queen Mother Dou's remaining doubts.

This leaves a lot of room for maneuver for Emperor Qi’s follow-up arrangements.

It can even be said that after Liu Rong made such a fuss, Emperor Qi didn't need to do anything more on the matter of 'the emperor's younger brother'.

He put on an attitude of 'I'm embarrassed, I want to make him the emperor's younger brother, but I'm afraid that my son will make trouble again', and waited for Empress Dowager Dou to take the bait.

No matter how hard he nodded during the introduction, or he made a mistake while drinking, he could achieve his goal smoothly no matter what.

This feeling was something that Emperor Qi had never experienced before.

This feeling of someone acting with him and performing so well - so much that he felt relaxed and saved a lot of things - was something that Emperor Qi had never experienced before.

Along with this, the eyes he looked up at the Phoenix Palace became more and more profound.

"That kid, the second brother, hasn't been back to the palace for how many days?"

Emperor Qi asked leisurely, and the doctor next to him, Ling Zhou Ren, immediately cupped his hand.

"Your Majesty, it has been nearly twenty days." "Ever since the emperor's eldest son made rude remarks and was imprisoned in the Ancestral Temple, the emperor's second son has not returned to the palace for nearly twenty days."

"——During this period, the ministers, princes and nobles of the court alternately invited the King of Liang to banquets."

"The second son of the emperor occasionally comes with him."

···
"While living in Prince Liang's Mansion, the second son of the Emperor and the retainers raised by Prince Liang were able to live in harmony."

"Although there are occasional people who are hostile to the second son of the emperor because of his closeness to the prince of Liang, most of them are convinced of the second son of the emperor's literary talent..."

Zhou Ren's cold and indifferent tone, which was like a mechanical version, sounded in his ears, and Emperor Qi just smiled.

The eyes that were originally scanning around Chang'an City finally stopped completely at the Phoenix Palace.

"Among my sons, there is actually a little wife?"

"Hey……"

···
"People do the best they can, and things make the best use of them;"

"You enter the game with your body, and you get out with your whole body."

"Plan and plan everything without leaking anything."

"Before I can be established as a reserve, my brothers and sisters have already returned home..."

The incomprehensible words only made Zhou Ren lower his head in a cryptic manner, pretending that he had not heard anything.

Inside the guardrail, Emperor Qi stared deeply at the Phoenix Palace again, took one last look, then took a long breath and moved his gaze in the direction of Shiqu Pavilion.

——To be precise, it is Qi Pavilion, which is adjacent to Shiqu Pavilion and has been closed for many years.

"What's going on over there with King Wu?"

Still extremely indifferent, the relaxed tone seemed to ask 'what did you have for breakfast?', but it made Zhou Ren secretly let out a long sigh of relief.

After sorting out his thoughts for a while, he took out a simple book from his sleeve that had obviously just been opened.

"King Liu Wu of Chu has replied to the letter to King Liu Bi of Wu."

"Although the content of the letter is unknown, 90% of the time it was agreed to Liu Bi's invitation and decided that Wu and Chu would jointly raise troops."

···
"The Seven Kings of Qi, King Liu of Qi, after returning from Chang'an, finally accepted Liu Bi's 'reward' and made a promise: As long as the rebels can come to Linzi to meet them, they will lead their troops to join the rebels;

King Liu Xian of Jiaoxi, King Liu Xiongqu of Jiaodong, King Liu Piguang of Jinan, King Liu Zhi of Jibei, and King Liu Xian of Zichuan have basically decided to become thieves, but they still have some tricks, presumably because they want to get more promises from Liu Bi.

Only Liu Xi, the king of Chengyang, refused to accept Liu Bi's envoy, and wrote letters to warn the other six kings. "

···
"The three kings of the Huainan clan, Liu An, the king of Huainan, had rebelled. However, due to the Prime Minister Zhang Shizhi, he did not reveal his intentions. He received Liu Bi's envoy privately and sent a lieutenant to escort Liu Bi's envoy out of Huainan.

Liu Bo, the king of Hengshan, received Liu Bi's envoy, but he scolded Liu Bi for not being a human minister, and his stance was extremely firm;
Liu Ci, the king of Lujiang, had rebellious intentions, but he didn't know that the king of Huainan had already made a decision, and saw that the king of Hengshan was unwavering, so he hesitated. "

After roughly summarizing the contents of the slip and telling them in full, Zhou Ren raised his head and said again: "The second batch of envoys from King Zhao have also left the frontier north."

"The Marquis of Chang'an also sent back news: Han officials with Yan and Zhao accents appeared in the Xiongnu Chan Yuting..."

　Second update on March 3th.
