Text Chapter 768 Langya Palace
As one of the several famous fiefs of the princes and kings of the early Han Dynasty, Qidi, which faces the sea in the east, is a very important place. The first generation of Qi King Liu Fei is the eldest son of Emperor Gaozu, because of this identity, he was named the State of Qi, with more than 70 cities as his food estate, and the people of the world, as long as the accent is in unison, all of them are under the rule of King Qi, and he is worthy of being the largest prince in the world.
It's just a pity that later, after the death of Han Gaozu, the greedy Empress Lu was very jealous of the land of Qi and was willing to get it. The king of Qi was in a panic all day long, and was forced to sacrifice the most prosperous cities to barely save his life. However, when Liu Fei died, his fief still could not avoid the fate of being divided.
The fiefdom of Qi was divided into several vassal states such as Qi, Jibei, Chengyang, and Langya. Among them, Langya, because of its unique geographical location near the sea, was divided separately, and since then, it has completely separated from the governance of the descendants of King Qi and has become a place directly controlled by Weiyang Palace.
Although the Langya region is the smallest, the king of Langya is also one of the princes of the dynasty. And they are all directly given by the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties, and they are not inherited by the clan.
And the current King of Langya is named Liu Fuling. He is the youngest son of Emperor Liu Che, and his mother is the "Lady Hook Yi" Zhao Tingcheng who has been given death by the emperor.
The prince, who was only seven or eight years old, was not yet the age to open the palace. But there is something special about his situation. When his mother failed in the "Plot to Seize the Prince" operation that shook Chang'an, his fate for the rest of his life seemed to be sealed.
The treacherous situation between the palace and the palace has always been the most dangerous place. Why did the emperor crown Liu Fuling as the king of Langya, the specific situation is unknown to the outside world. Maybe the emperor let him leave Chang'an because of the need to protect the prince's safety, or maybe to avoid some unnecessary trouble.
The waves of the tide of the East China Sea, day and night, can be heard in the royal palace in Langya County. Although so much time has passed, the prince Fuling is still very unaccustomed to it.
A teenager of this age is originally a time of innocence and happiness. However, in his heart, there is only hatred and loneliness. The faithful guards who followed him could bring him safety, but they could not bring him the time of the past.
The autumn wind rose again, the flowers fell like rain, remembering the taste of the osmanthus cake that his mother made for him that year, he wanted to eat it again. The variety of dim sum delicacies that exude a rich fragrance, the laughter of the women in the city, and those cheerful days...... When the tears fell on the back of his hand, waking up these sleeping old dreams, and suddenly looking around, Liu Fuling, the king of Langya, realized that these were just his wishful thinking. All the good things that remained in his memory could never be returned.
The hearts of children are full of hatred, which is naturally not a good thing. But the people in the Langya Palace's mansion had nothing to do to solve him. Whether it is the prime minister, the internal history, or the entourage guards, they can only helplessly watch their prince practice swords hard, study strategies diligently, and are full of worries about his future.
Everyone understands that as a little prince who once threatened the status of the crown prince, if he wants to live longer, the best thing to do is to be a waste prince in his fiefdom like a dream. Even if he is holding his tail and is obscure, he may not be able to avoid the suspicion from Weiyang Palace, let alone sharpen his mind and want to make a difference!
But the painstaking persuasion of all the henchmen and others could not dispel the obsession in King Langya's heart. When he shot the arrow in his hand into the target that represented someone's body, the young man who gritted his teeth only said one word.
"I don't want power, I want revenge...... One day, I will shoot an arrow into the chest of my enemy, so that I can relieve the hatred in my heart! ”
Of course, the people in the entire palace knew who King Langya's enemy was. Only, they all sighed and shook their heads. That world-shattering enemy is already the prime minister in charge of the court, and if you want to kill him, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky!
However, who would have thought that the changes in the world are so abrupt. Not long ago, news suddenly came that Yuan Zhao, who had forced Mrs. Gou Yi to death, died in Taiyue Mountain when he followed the emperor on a tour through Zhongzhou!
The Langya Mansion was dumbfounded. That night, the little prince drank a whole jar of wine by himself, and then cried and laughed, drunk and unconscious.
When he woke up again, he received the news that Emperor Taishan was about to come to Langya County after completing the Zen sealing. Everyone was shocked and immediately began to take action to prepare for the pick-up.
In fact, in Liu Fuling's heart, he didn't want to see his father again. Although he is still young, he loves and hates clearly. At the beginning, his mother Mrs. Gou Yi was forced to drink and die, and Yuan Zhao was the main murderer, but the instigator behind it was the emperor. Now even if Yuan Zhao is dead, the hatred in his heart is hard to extinguish.
However, in the face of the enthusiasm and excitement of the subordinate officials and entourage, Liu Fuling hid his emotions well. In any case, the emperor's ability to come to Langya County, which is located on the coast of the East China Sea, is good news for them. In the years to come, he still has to rely on the strength of these people, and naturally he can't just care about his own likes and dislikes.
The emperor's guard of honor came quickly, and a few days later, a mighty brigade of men and horses arrived in Langya County. All of a sudden, this land of projectiles became a place where the crowns gathered.
Liu Fuling, the king of Langya, and the local county officials went out of the city to greet him. However, they were not immediately summoned by the emperor. Ni Kuan, who was in charge of all affairs, summoned the emperor's edict on his behalf to express his comfort to everyone. Then let everyone perform their duties, and the emperor will call him separately if there is something.
King Langya, who straightened up, watched the honor guard that symbolized the majesty of the emperor go straight into the city, and there was something called "indifference" flashing in his eyes, few people can understand that in the depths of his heart, there are some things that are extremely incommensurate with his age have sprouted in the years of hatred.
The emperor drove into Langya County, and the vigilance inside and outside the city was strengthened, and the atmosphere was naturally different from the past. That is, on the night of the same day, an uninvited guest came to Langya Palace.
When he completely retreated left and right, leaving only his confidants to serve Liu Fuling, the king of Langya, calmly watching the visiting mysterious guests take off their big coats and reveal their true faces, he tried his best to suppress the violent beating in his heart, and his eyes showed light.
"Little prince, don't come unharmed! Seeing that you are all right, the minister is relieved. ”
"General Wuqiu! Thank you for remembering me and being able to visit me for the first time...... You've got a heart. ”
It is said that hatred and suffering are the best tempering that can make people mature quickly, and this sentence is not false at all. At a young age, Liu Fuling treated people amazingly many times. A smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of King Wuqiu Shouwang, who came to visit by night in casual clothes, and his demeanor looked very respectful.
"Where did the little prince say it! When I was able to enter the palace with the emperor, it was thanks to the recommendation of Mrs. Gouyi, such a great kindness, I have always remembered it in my heart, and I never dared to forget it. Hate only hates the sudden change later, and cannot be repaid...... Alas! ”
King Wuqiu Shou sighed and looked sad. His remark is not nonsense. Although he was talented at the beginning, he was just an ordinary member of the many young talents waiting for the Golden Horse Gate. Later, the reason why it was discovered by the emperor was that there was a night banquet in the Hook Yi Palace, and Zhao Chengcheng improvised a song and dance with lyrics, which was appreciated by the emperor. And the words and phrases used are written by King Wuqiu Shou. It was from that time that he entered the emperor's field of vision, and thus rose to the top until today's status.
Several of the royal palace henchmen next to him heard him talk about the past, and they were also concerned. If it hadn't been for the accident at the beginning, maybe Liu Fuling would have been made the prince by now, and where would he have fallen to the point of a little Langya King today!
However, Liu Fuling did not grieve, he didn't even see any other expression on his face, he just handed over his hand to let King Wuqiu Shou sit down, and said indifferently.
"There is no need to talk about the past. I'm already very satisfied to be a carefree prince here, and I don't think about anything else. ”
King Wuqiu Shou narrowed his eyes slightly, and while nodding secretly, he was a little surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that at such a young age, King Langya was full of joy and anger, and he already had such a deep city. At this moment, the things that Venerable Donghai secretly explained made him hesitate a little. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong for Shizun Tian Wujiang to make the decision to support this Langya King to ascend to the throne.
"General Wuqiu has worked very hard to protect the holy car all the way. I don't know if there is anything else to do when I come here overnight except for a reminiscence of past friendship? ”
Liu Fuling absolutely didn't believe that King Wuqiu Shou, who was now in power, was in such a hurry to come to the palace, just for the friendship of the past. Although he is young and old, he still can't hold back the emotions in his heart after all. Seeing that the other party was silent, he didn't know what he was thinking. He finally couldn't help but blurt out the question.
Under the light, seeing the impatient expression of King Langya opposite, who was still immature, King Wuqiu Shou smiled dumbly, and couldn't help but laugh at himself for thinking too much. Liu Fuling is still a child after all, even if he is a little smart, it is very easy to hold it in his hands. Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, lowered his body and whispered.
"Little prince, there is a big opportunity in front of you, I don't know if it's interesting?"
"Great opportunity? I don't understand...... General Wuqiu, please! ”
The night breeze will gradually rise, and the tide of the East China Sea will be born again. Liu Fuling, the king of Langya, who had never been reconciled to the arrangement of fate, pinched his tiger's mouth tightly with his fingers before he could resist the impulse in his heart. Then he heard a great temptation that would stir his heart.
"The matter of Yaomumen, does King Langya want to continue?"
"The emperor forced my mother to kill me and banished me here! How can you still ......?"
In the shocked eyes of all the people present, Liu Fuling, who was full of hatred, got up and stared at King Wuqiu Shou tightly, wanting to know his final answer. And the other party really didn't disappoint him, and simply showed his hole cards neatly.
"Little Lord Don't doubt it, as long as we work together, the throne on the Hanyuan Hall in Chang'an will be yours in the near future!"
