Chapter 0043: Family Reunion
Half a month after Liu Fei, the king of Qi, arrived in Chang'an, the rest of the Kwantung princes finally arrived in Chang'an.
Wu Chen, the king of Changsha, as the only remaining prince with a different surname in the Han family, is naturally very forced to obediently close the door at home.
Liu Jiao, the king of Chu, held his own seniority and did not get too involved in the affairs of the younger generations.
Liu Bi, the king of Wu, is a clan relative, and he is the same generation as the princes of the Zhao Dynasty and the King of Liang, but among the six second-generation princes of the Liu clan who arrived in Chang'an this time, only Liu Bi is the only one, not of Liu Bang's blood......
Six people, five brothers, naturally, as the eldest cousin, Liu Bi also failed to integrate into the circle of the 'Second Clan Princes'.
And the rest of the people, on the afternoon of the second day after arriving in Chang'an, they were all accompanied by their subordinates and came to Liu Fei's Qi Palace.
Liu Ruyi, the king of Zhao, came alone, bringing only a dozen or so guards; Liu Heng, the acting king, brought Fu Kuan, the acting minister; Liu Hui, the king of Liang, brought Wang Tianqi, the minister of state; Liu You, the king of Huaiyang, also brought his own Wang Xiang.
It is not difficult to see from this lineup alone: today, it is not so much that the four younger brothers visit their brother Liu Fei, but that several young princes and kings are pulled by their own ministers to inquire about the situation.
After the four kings and the three phases were seated, the protagonist Liu Fei finally appeared in the guest hall with doubts on his face.
"Brother Ruyi, Heng, Hui, Friend, meet my brother!"
"Ministers, Tianqi, and no doubts, see King Qi!"
Greeting the four younger brothers and the three respected old ministers in order, Liu Fei had some doubts, and finally sat down on the top with anxiety.
ββWith what happened last time, Liu Fei already has a deep psychological shadow on the 'top position'......
"Since Emperor Gao for five years, Brother Wang was canonized as the King of Qi for Emperor Gao, and the younger brother thought about his brother for a long time and couldn't see each other."
"After nearly ten years of separation, Brother Qi Wang is okay?"
Xunsheng raised his head, and Liu Fei's attention was attracted by the young man on the left hand side with clear eyebrows and a determined face.
"Ruyi ......"
Looking at this ten-year-old brother, Liu Fei couldn't help but feel awkward.
There is no way, Liu Ruyi has just turned ten years old; Seven years ago, Liu Fei was named the king of Qi by his father Liu Bang, and when he rushed to the coast of the East China Sea to take up the country, the third brother Liu Ruyi had just learned to speak.
In addition, at that time, Empress Lu had just finished her three-year career as a 'prisoner' in the hands of Xiang Yu, and Mrs. Qi was being favored and was-for-tat with Empress Lu.
Liu Fei grew up under the knee of Empress Lu since he was a child, and even though Liu Fei was the eldest brother of Mrs. Qi and her heirs, he did not dare to show the slightest closeness.
Let's exaggerate again: even if Liu Fei doesn't know Liu Ruyi at all, it is the first time for the two to meet, in fact, there is no big problem.
The third Liu Ruyi is like this, the fourth Liu Heng, who is only eight years old, and Liu Hui and Liu You, both seven years old, not to mention.
ββWhen Liu Fei left Chang'an and went to Linzi, the capital of Qi, the fourth brother Liu Heng was only one year old, and the fifth brother Liu Hui and the sixth brother Liu You were born not long ago!
Looking at the four younger brothers in front of him whose blood was thicker than water, but who had no friendship at all, and could even be called 'meeting for the first time', Liu Fei couldn't help but feel at a loss.
But soon, Liu Fei adjusted his mood and put on a slightly hypocritical kindness.
"The widow is fine, only when he parted, the third brother learned to speak; After a long time, the third brother is already a husband! β
After a decent politeness, Liu Fei looked at Liu Ruyi's eyebrows and eyes that resembled his father, and his face that exuded a vigorous atmosphere all the time, and couldn't help but think to himself.
"No wonder my father wanted to be a prince before he died!"
"Although Brother Ying is benevolent, he will never be a father ......"
buried this slander that was enough to ruin the family deep in his heart, Liu Fei was slightly puzzled and looked at Liu Ruyi's side.
"Why is it that the third brother is in Chang'an, and Zhao Xiang is not at the same time?"
It's not that Liu Fei deliberately didn't have anything to say, Liu Ruyi came alone, which really made Liu Fei feel very puzzled.
Take Liu Fei himself as an example, in Chang'an of this dynasty, Liu Fei's Wang Xiang Cao Shen was left in Linzi by Liu Fei to govern the country.
But Liu Fei didn't bring Cao Shen because Liu Fei had already reached the age of twenty, and to put it a little overstep, Liu Fei had reached the age of 'crowning pro-government'.
In the popular words of later generations, Liu Fei has reached the age where he can be responsible for his words and deeds and his identity as the king of Qi.
Therefore, whether to bring the national minister or not is not so important to Liu Fei.
But the four younger brothers in front of him are all real 'minors'!
The eldest third Liu Ruyi is only ten years old now, and there are still ten years to be crowned!
Not to mention the remaining few people, seven or eight years old, put in the people, and they have just passed the age of the general horn.
At such an age, it means that these four younger brothers are still only 'honorary princes', and they have no ability to be responsible for their own feudal kingdom and throne.
The affairs of the country, big and small, and even the teachings of these younger brothers, are all the responsibility of their respective state ministers.
- Minister of State and Wang Taifu, Liu Fei is very familiar with this process.
In this way, Liu Ruyi came to Chang'an alone without the state minister, and the meaning of this matter is a little difficult to understand......
"Brother Huiwang: When the younger brother took the edict and set off for the pilgrimage to Chang'an, the prime minister happened to be seriously ill; Therefore, my brother only came alone. β
After giving a perfunctory explanation, Liu Ruyi chuckled lightly and moved his gaze to the obviously more mature figures in the guest hall.
Seeing that Liu Ruyi was so anxious, Liu Fei had no choice but to raise his head cooperatively and give up his hand to the successor vassal minister.
"In the past few years, the widows and brothers have been taken care of by the princes, and the widows are grateful, but I would like to thank them."
"I don't know if you're coming to the door today, but what's the matter?"
It stands to reason that Liu Fei, as the eldest brother of the second descendant of Liu Bang, finally got a chance for the princes and kings to be in Chang'an, and called his younger brothers to the house to have fun and exchange feelings, and no one could find anything wrong.
Even if the younger brothers came with their respective kings, it can be completely interpreted as 'serving the king to accompany him to impeach and correct his inappropriateness'.
But now Liu Fei is already a frightened bird......
For anything that may be suspected of 'exceeding the rules', Liu Fei already has a fear engraved into the depths of his soul!
And this fear visible to the naked eye was naturally seen through by the people in the guest hall, who had experienced countless winds and waves, and all of them were 'founding fathers'.
"This ......"
At this point, there is actually no need to ask anymore.
Liu Fei's gesture has already told everyone: What kind of terrifying experience Liu Fei has experienced in the past few days.
But after a while, the immature and loud young man's trumpet sounded again, making Liu Fei's barely maintained complexion collapse in an instant.
"Brother Wen Wang went to Chang'an, and risked giving the queen mother wine?"
