Liu Shuang was a little disappointed, and without waiting for Su Ren's invitation, he sat down opposite Su Ren, grabbed the wine jug and poured himself a drink, and drank five glasses in a row, without stopping yet.

Su Ren pressed the wine glass: "This is a first-class second pot head, if you drink it again, you will get drunk, and being drunk is not good for your health!" ”

Liu Shuang smiled miserably: "It's good to be drunk, didn't you say that getting drunk can relieve a thousand sorrows?" ”

"Who upset our son again? In Hengshan Kingdom, except for the King of Hengshan, you are the biggest, oh ......, you have been reprimanded by the king again, right? Su Ren was not afraid of big things, and propped his arms on the table: "Let's listen to it, why did you reprimand you again, how did you get it, say it quickly, let us be happy and happy." ”

Liu Shuang rolled his eyes, poured himself another glass of wine, and poured it into his stomach with a flick of his neck. Su Ren snatched the wine jug: "I said that you can't drink more, you still drink!" ”

"Hey!" Liu Shuang sighed: "You say, how can there be such a father in the world, even if I don't become a weapon, it is also his child, since the death of the queen mother, I have not seen his good face, for so many years, no matter what I do, it is wrong, Liu Xiao, Liu Guang They do everything well, in order to please him, I work hard, constantly examine myself, and make myself the best in everything, what is the result?" He still doesn't like me. ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"The matter of going to Chang'an to meet Your Majesty, this year is our Hengshan Kingdom, if everything goes well, my father should set off around May."

"Oh! What's wrong with that? The kings of every vassal kingdom are going to go. ”

"Hehehe!" Liu Shuang smiled: "You are still an official for a short time, I don't know the mystery, I have hundreds of princes of the Han Dynasty, some princes have famous names and fiefs, some princes have famous names and no fiefs, and some have no names and no fiefs, just take our Hengshan Kingdom as an example!" Hengshan country is the first emperor to seal, there is a king's name, there is a seal letter, the north is adjacent to Huaihe, the south reaches the river, this is the fief of the king of Hengshan, so the king of Hengshan belongs to the princes who have a name and a fief. ”

"There are also those who have a name and no fief, such as those marquis of Chang'an, Wei Qihou, Bai Zhihou, etc., they have lived in Chang'an for a long time and never go to the fief, so there is no difference between having a fief and not having a fief for them; The last kind of nameless and untitled fiefdom is the Marquis of Guannei like you, who is a marquis, but in fact he only has a little more money than others, and he has not received any benefits, which is far worse than the famous marquis and prince. ”

Su Ren thought about it, and seemed to be really: "What are the differences between these kinds of princes?" ”

"Of course, the princes with famous names and fiefs are the most feared by the imperial court; There is a name and no fiefdom, and you are the second! For the jealous princes, at most three or five years, at least one year, they must go to Chang'an to meet to show their loyalty and respect to His Majesty, otherwise they will be reprimanded, the light fine is copper, the heavy is the reduction of the knight, the most serious will be confiscated fiefdom, and will be questioned. ”

"So serious? Then the king of Hengshan should indeed go. ”

"Hehehe!" Liu Shuang smiled: "But no one dares to go now, if you want to say the reason, it's on you." ”

"I, the princes and kings, have nothing to do with me?"

"Do you remember the king?"

"Acting king? Remember, what's wrong? ”

"How did he die? Don't say you don't know! ”

Su Ren understood, and shook his head with a smile: "It turns out that King Hengshan is worried about this!" I'm in Lu'an, he should be able to go boldly with confidence, right? ”

Liu Shuang waved his hand: "Things are not as simple as you said, because of the lessons from the past, some people suspect that I support my father to go to Chang'an to harm my father and want to seize the throne, do you think it's ridiculous?" ”

"Hahaha, it's Liu Xiao, right?" Su Ren laughed.

Liu Shuang was stunned: "You know? ”

Su Ren shook his head: "I don't know, but I saw Liu Xiao's carriage from the window just now, it was in the direction of the palace, and it didn't take long for you to come, and you looked resentful, I guess it may have something to do with Liu Xiao, sure enough." ”

"My second brother is the most difficult to deal with me, and he always likes to fight against me, and I can't wait for my father to kill me now, so that he can be the son of the world."

"Nothing strange! Men pursue three things in this life, power, money, and women; Speaking of which, there is one thing that you can get, that is, the right, although the king of Hengshan is not big, he is also a figure above tens of thousands of people in Hengshan, and the law of the court can't control him, as long as he is in the fiefdom, he can do whatever he wants, sometimes I envy you princes. ”

"Envy? With Mr. Su's cleverness, can't you see the hardships in this? ”

Su Ren smiled: "Hardship? Whoever lives is not hard, the common people have the hardships of the common people, and in order to eat, their lives can be sacrificed; Rich and noble people have the hardships of rich and noble people, and they work hard to earn money to support their families, just for their wives and children to live a better life; You sons naturally have your hardships, all the same! However, you have to admit that when you envy others, others are also envying you, envying you for falling to the ground with gold in your mouth, envying you for your fine clothes and food, don't be afraid of hardships, hardships are stepping stones for growth! . ”

Liu Shuang raised his head and sighed: "I don't have the same insight as Brother Su, I just ask others not to target me, everything is calm." ”

"Hahaha...... it seems that the son of the world was born in the wrong place." Su Ren laughed: "You are the eldest son of King Hengshan, even if King Hengshan has no intention of having a son, there will be three or five, who doesn't want to wait for Lao Wang to sit on the throne of King Hengshan?" But there is only one son, unless the son of the world quits now, finds a place to live in seclusion for the rest of his life, and maybe he can still live in fine clothes and food for a lifetime. ”

"Exit? Why? The throne of Hengshan was originally mine. ”

"Isn't this the end, since you have determined it, don't be afraid of people robbing you." Su Ren turned his head and glanced at Manniu: "This is my personal guard, called Manniu, a few days ago I wrestled with a few people, I took out a piece of broken jade for the color head, he snatched it from more than a dozen people, a piece of broken jade is like this, not to mention the throne of King Hengshan." ”

Liu Shuang looked up at Manniu, who listened to Huang Shisan's words and glared at Liu Shuang with a black face. Liu Shuang swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "What a strong man!" He nodded and said to Su Ren: "What Brother Su said is true, but I am a little powerless now, and I don't know ......."

Without waiting for Liu Shuang to finish speaking, Su Ren hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't, I won't meddle in the affairs between your brothers, first, I am the minister of the imperial court, and second, I still have the matter of relocating the Yue people to do, the more the affairs of Hengshan Country are mixed, the more I will suffer, not only will the court be criticized, but also people will be hated in Hengshan Kingdom, doesn't the prince have a superior person to help?" ”

Liu Shuang frowned: "Oh? Who can be called a master by Brother Su? ”

"Wei Qing! Isn't this person closely related to the son? At every critical juncture, he will help the prince to break the siege. ”

"Oh, hahaha......" Liu Shuang smiled: "Wei Qingnai is a person from Hengshan State, I just asked him to come up with a few ideas, and he can't be considered my person." ”

"Really? Maybe because I'm an outsider, so I see your affairs thoroughly, around the king, in addition to your brothers, there are three people who trust the most, Xi Ci, the minister of state, Zhang Guangchang, the general, and this confessor Wei Qing, with my observation, Xi Ci and the second son are very close, Zhang Guangchang is the most loyal to His Majesty, that is to say, who will sit on the throne in the future, Zhang Guangchang is still loyal to the people on the throne, this person can be ignored, and there is Wei Qing, he should choose the son. ”

Liu Shuang looked at Su Ren in shock: "Brother Su......"

Su Ren smiled: "However, don't be too happy too early, I'll give you an analysis, Xi Ci is the minister of state, and he supports Liu Xiao, which means that Liu Xiao has a very high status among civil officials; There is also Liu Guang, Liu Guang's biological mother is the current queen, Xu Lai keeps blowing the pillow wind to the king for his son, which is also very terrible, except for these two people, the other sons can be ignored. ”

"Let's talk about you, as the prince of the world, you occupy the righteousness, but you don't have any power, Wenchen is controlled by Xi Ci, the military general is in the hands of Zhang Guangchang, the only think tank Wei Qing, but a small confessor, even if he can influence His Majesty, it is very limited! What's more, the prince is too upright, he won't flatter, and he always likes to stop things he is not used to, and he will invisibly set up more enemies, so you will feel hard. ”

Liu Shuang nodded again and again when he heard this, and when Su Ren finished speaking, he hurriedly got up and gave a deep salute: "Brother Su is high, please teach me Brother Su!" ”

Su Ren also got up and returned the salute: "The prince of the world, please sit down, I can't talk about teaching words, only one sentence to send each other, do things in a high-profile manner, and be a low-key person." ”

Liu Shuang thought about it and shook his head.

Su Ren said with a smile: "Doing things in a high-profile manner is to let the prince accumulate popularity among the people, and everything can be fought for the sake of the people, even if he is beaten by the king, he will not hesitate to let the people know that the prince is the future of the king of Hengshan and the future of their good life, so that the prince also has his own power!" From now on, we must let the people of Hengshan be grateful to the prince, with such a hope, even if the king wants to abolish the establishment, he must take care of the people. ”

"It's a little difficult to be a low-key person for the prince, don't think that the prince is still the son, just be a carefree son, and be polite to anyone you meet, even if it's those soldiers at the city gate! For the affairs of the court, turn a blind eye, intrigue, deceit, don't participate in the prince, even if the king asks each other, try to be as smooth as possible, no one can be offended, hello, I am good, everyone, let everyone feel that the prince has been disheartened, and then Liu Xiao and Liu Guang will fight, isn't it good for the prince to sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman? ”

Liu Shuang thought while listening: "Is this okay?" ”

Su Ren smiled: "Anyway, the prince has now reached the Jedi, so what's the point of trying?" Even if it doesn't work, where can it be sent? ”

"Yes!" Liu Shuang smiled awkwardly, "Okay, just listen to Mr., Mr. will repay him after his great kindness!" ”

"Don't let it go, now there is something to ask for, Jianghuai has a large field for the son, can the son sell it to the next one?"

Liu Shuang was stunned for a moment, and his eyes rolled: "Having said so much, you are just for my piece of land, right?" ”
