Acting King Liu Deng, the eldest son of Liu Shen, the third son of Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty; Liu Fa, King of Changsha, the sixth son of Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty; Liu Sheng, King of Zhongshan, the ninth son of Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty; Liu Ming, King of Jichuan, second son of Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty, second son of King Liu Wu of Liang.

Speaking of which, they are all the grandsons of the Empress Dowager Dou, and the four grandsons went to Beijing to see their grandmother, and the Dou family should have been the happiest. However, Dou has been sullen since the family banquet, and he always likes to sigh long and short when he is alone. He understood Liu Che's words, it was not a glorious thing to cause Xiao Wall, and he had seen a lot in the palace over the years, so he didn't stop Liu Che, but he didn't know who Liu Che was going to do it to, or if he had to do it all.

The four kings came from different places, and the time of arrival in Chang'an was surprisingly consistent. If it wasn't deliberately arranged, I'm afraid no one would believe it. Since it came, the court had to greet it. In order to show the dignity of the four kings, the main gate of the south gate of Chang'an, which is usually never opened, was opened for the first time today. Groups of guards, dressed in armor, stood on a human wall, blocking the people behind them.

Prime Minister Xu Chang, as the emperor's representative, personally came to the city gate to greet him. The weather was very good, the sky was clear, a few cotton-like white clouds were floating overhead, and the slight northwest wind even brought some heat, and it was not so cold when it blew on the body.

Although Su Ren is a councilor, he is also an official of the imperial court. The emperor asked the hundred officials to greet him, and he was naturally among them. Standing in the middle of the long line, I glanced back and saw that few people were at the end. Only then did Su Ren understand that he had been deceived by Liu Che. Just like when Sun Wukong went to heaven, although Bi Ma Wen is also an official, it is a pity that he is a head who raises horses.

Following the long procession, moving forward step by step, the front was crowded with people, waving flags, and even the trees in the distance could not be seen. Su Ren pulled off a leaf, stuffed it in his mouth and chewed it, but he didn't expect to swallow it, and Su Ren, who was stuck, coughed again and again. Only then did I notice that new leaves had grown on the trees on the side of the road, and spring had finally arrived.

Suddenly, there was a ** shout: "The king of Dai, the king of Changsha, the king of Zhongshan, and the king of Jichuan have arrived!" Welcome! ”

There was a lot of uproar, and everyone knelt down to welcome. Su Ren's movements were obviously a few beats slower, and he stood alone like a flock, causing the surrounding people to laugh. Su Ren was very disgusted by the ritual method of kneeling, although he didn't have to bow down when he saw everyone, but kneeling in this bare mud was really uncomfortable. Hurriedly knelt down, and hurriedly got up again.

Su Ren twisted his waist and stretched his muscles and bones. After a long while, the crowd gave way, and Su Ren was forced to the side of the road, because he was standing on the very edge, and with such a squeeze, his whole body was attached to a royal forester. The armor of the Royal Forest Army's whole body, Su Rensheng, who was in the diaphragm, was in pain, and wanted to push away the people in front of him, but he tried several times, but the effect was not obvious.

The long horse team drove over, the first team should be the escort of Liu Deng, the acting king, all the good horses of the Northland, and the knights on the horses are also tigers and bears, and at a glance they know that they are majestic men from the land. The second team is not as strong as the first team, but it is also slightly inferior. When I arrived at the third team, the state of the cavalry suddenly dropped a lot, one by one wilted, I always felt that I hadn't woken up, and I was tired with my neck bent, which made people feel that they were strong on the outside and dry on the inside. The fourth team was even more unbearable, not at all like a guard, falling towards the mountain bandits, the queue discharged was disorganized, and the horses were of different heights.

Su Ren tiptoed to see what those famous princes and kings were, and he tried hard for a long time, but he couldn't get his wish. After the horse team, there is a long convoy, and the flag number should be according to the age, first Liu Deng, Liu Fa, Liu Sheng, and Liu Ming lined up one by one. After the car is driven, it is a convoy of gifts, a car full of bags, cages and baggage, which makes people covetous.

followed everyone out of the city in a daze, and followed everyone back in a daze, and the lively welcome was over. The rest of the things are nothing to do with Su Ren, and he has his own subordinate arrangements of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Su Yi turned around and went into the small alley next to him, and went home.

The banquet is scheduled for the afternoon three days later, and the princes have arrived today, so they have to give people time to rest. Walking home from the city gate, Su Ren took off his thick robe outside, still sweating profusely. When I finally got home, I was exhausted and covered in mud. Leng Yue hurriedly fetched a basin of water and freshened up for Su Ren.

Looking at Su Ren's appearance, he smiled coldly: "How is it?" Su Yilang is such a big official, does he want to come forward to toast several kings? ”

Su Ren glanced coldly: "Yes!" You didn't see it, as soon as I said the name, those few dirt buns were bright-eyed, scrambling to have a few drinks with me, and said that they would invite me to go to them and give a country to do, I was thinking about whether to go to Daijun or Zhongshan, or you would choose for me? ”

Leng Jun frowned: "Daijun is too far to the north, but it is the place where Liu Heng started, Zhongshan is located in Zhao State, and Yan Zhao is a warrior, these two places are not suitable for you to go, as for Changsha, you can't go, it is relatively close to Nanban, the mountains and forests are dense, and the miasma is vertical, and Jichuan is the original land of Liang, that place is in the Central Plains, it is a good place, but the fate of King Liang is not very good, don't go!" ”

Leng Yue asked, "Those princes and kings really invited you to be the minister of state?" I heard that the ministers of state are all appointed by the imperial court, and without the emperor's consent, you shouldn't be able to go, right? ”

"Who am I? That kid lied to me, only let me do what I wanted, I knew that I was standing at the back of the line, it was better to go to those palaces to be a guest, it was better than being a nest in Chang'an! ”

"Hahaha......" laughed coldly: "Exposed, right?" I must not have even seen what the parents looked like. ”

"I don't care what they look like, they want to see me, but I haven't seen them yet!"

The two were bickering. Liu Gao hurriedly ran in and muttered in Su Ren's ear for a long time, Su Ren nodded and motioned for Liu Gao to go down. After Leng Yue cleaned him up again, Su Ren jumped up from the chair and asked Leng Jun, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

Leng Jun shook his head. Su Ren smiled: "It's just right, call Hawking, let's go out!" ”

"What?"

"You'll know when you go."

I didn't go through the main entrance, but when I went out the back door, a carriage without any signs stopped at the back door. Several people got into the carriage, and the carriage started. Su Ren didn't let anyone look out, and silenced everyone.

looked at Su Ren coldly: "Who are you going to harm?" ”

Su Ren smiled: "Speaking of which, this time it's for your Xiang family, don't say what I'm talking about so dirty." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Step on the spot!"

The carriage went round and round in Chang'an City, passing through the streets and alleys without arousing anyone's ideas. As he was about to arrive at the inn, the carriage suddenly turned north and entered an alley. There were several households inside, and the door of the second house on the left was wide open, and the coachman did not stop, but drove the carriage in.

There was no one in the courtyard, and it was exceptionally quiet when it was empty. Huang Shisan got out of the car first, looked left and right, went to close the gate, opened the curtain, and let a few people come down. The yard is very dilapidated, the thatch on the roof has fallen off a lot, and there are a few bottles and cans in the lobby. As a few people came in, seven or eight one-foot-long rats fled in a hurry.

Hawking covered his nose: "What is this place?" What are we doing here? It's dirty! ”

Leng Jun snorted: "When I went to your house for the first time, it was better than this!" You brothers and sisters are naked! ”

Hawking hurriedly smiled: "Second brother, isn't that before?" Can we not talk about the past? ”

After a round in the house, I came directly to the backyard, where several escalators had been erected at the head of the wall. Su Ren took the lead, and each person chose one to climb the wall, only showing their heads and looking out, directly opposite the post house.

"You're going to kill the Four Kings?" Leng Jun instantly understood, and looked at Su Ren in surprise.

Su Ren shook his head: "I don't have this ability, I just want to see what the four kings look like, it's up to you to kill or not!" From today onwards, the second child, Xiao Jinzi, Huang Thirteen, and then Su Kai and Laifu, the five of you will stay here for twelve hours, as long as someone comes out of it in a hurry the night after tomorrow and stops them directly, what to do I don't need to say, right? ”

"What the hell do you mean?"

At this point, there is no need to hide it any longer. Leng Jun, Hawking, and Huang Thirteen can still be trusted, he did not hide it, and explained Liu Che and his plans and plates, and also said the purpose of daylily. Several people were stunned when they heard this, and Hawking was the first to pat his chest and promise that he would definitely complete the task. Although Huang Shisan didn't speak, he never discounted Su Ren's order.

"How? Why? Su Ren looked cold. Leng Jun thought about it for a long time, and then said: "Such a big matter, you promise that you will not implicate your family?" ”

Since having a child, the cold performance can only be described by the word Gu family, and everything will think about the twelve mothers and the child first. If Su Ren had just come to Dahan at this time, Leng Jun would never go crazy with him, and would rather hide in a small Taoist temple in warm water and live a peaceful life. Maybe because he has the blood of the overlord Xiang Yu in his body, Leng Jun is a good man, and he values righteousness, and the Gu family is enough.

Su Ren nodded: "I can guarantee this!" ”

"Okay, I agree!"

After spending most of the hour in the small courtyard, a few people came down the ladder. No one cares about the bustle in the inn, just remember your own tasks. Huang 13 was responsible for informing Su Kai and Laifu that Leng Jun and Hawking would stay in that small courtyard from now on.

There is still a period of time before the state banquet, and the four kings have come from thousands of miles, and they are all uncles and brothers, and they have all kinds of family affections. After sending away Prime Minister Xuchang, a banquet was arranged in the post house. Liu Deng, the acting king, is the oldest, and the main throne is naturally his. The burly body and weather-beaten face knew at a glance that it was practiced by riding a horse all year round, and stroked his beard, Liu Deng said: "Brothers, the four of us will enter Beijing together, I don't need to say what the purpose is, who will speak tomorrow will have to discuss!" ”

Liu Ming, the king of Jichuan, was the youngest and had the most upright temper, so he patted his chest: "Brother Wang, don't worry, the younger brother is willing to be the first to say." ”

Liu Fa, the king of Changsha, shook his head: "King Jichuan, don't be rash, we have a request for help this time, your temper is the most irritable, you say that this matter is not appropriate." ”

Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, smiled slightly, drank the wine in the wine glass, and then said, "Or do I say it?" Lao Shi is a little younger than me, and it turns out that he and I were the best when I was in the palace, even if I said something wrong, he shouldn't blame him. ”
