On the fourth day of entering Beijing for the funeral, that is, in the early morning of the next day after arriving in Chang'an, Liu Jiao, the king of Chu, and Liu Jia, the king of Jing, reappeared in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an.

Only this time, the two of them were going east to Chang'an and going straight to Hangu in order to return to the feudal country as soon as possible.

According to common sense, Liu Jiao, as the son and son of the late Emperor Liu Xuan, only kept filial piety for a few days before his father's funeral, which is quite out of line with etiquette and law.

But for today's Han family, for the Kanto region, which is about to be stormy, Liu Jiao, as a clan, can't manage so much······

"Alas······"

"But I haven't seen you for a few years, and the majesty of the royal brother can be said to be more and more breathtaking······"

Sitting on top of Wang Jia with his cousin Liu Jia, recalling the family banquet held in Changle Palace last night, Liu Jiao still felt palpitations.

Hearing this, Liu Jia couldn't help but nod slightly, but did not open his mouth to agree.

But seeing that Liu Jiao didn't care about the taboo on Liu Jiaming's face, he turned his head sideways: "Yesterday's family banquet, although Your Majesty summoned the Marquis of Heyang to the banquet, but in the banquet, he had no intention of soft-heartedness. ”

"The Marquis of Heyang has repeatedly raised his glass to invite wine, and His Majesty's face is like candle wax, and he does not have the slightest hint of intimacy."

"King Jing thinks, what does Your Majesty mean by this?"

Hearing Liu Jiao's question, Liu Jia was reluctant to express his views on these slightly sensitive matters, and couldn't help but groan a little.

"Yesterday, although Your Majesty had no intention of getting close to the Marquis of Heyang, he did not dislike it."

"The widow thinks that His Majesty is just still worried about the past, and the Marquis of Heyang abandoned the country and fled, so that His Majesty lost face, so the remaining anger has not disappeared."

"In the future, Your Majesty will revisit the brotherhood, or whether it will be divided again, I don't know?"

Dropping his opinion vaguely, Liu Jia adjusted his sitting posture a little uncomfortably.

It stands to reason that these words, as a close relative, Liu Jiao said, but it is nothing.

As the only side cousin of the Liu clan today, Liu Jia was originally not suitable to speak out on this matter.

But there was no way, Liu Jia's fief was Jingguo, in the southeasternmost corner of the Han Dynasty······

Yu Dong, Liu Jia looked at the East China Sea; In the south, it is Baiyue; In the west, it is directly bordered by the Huainan country of Yingbu!

Since the time of the Warring States Period, the land of Jing and Yue has been recognized by the world as a desolate place with a low degree of civilization, insufficient grain and rice, and swamps and ponds.

Even now, more than half of Liu Jia's Jing Kingdom is still occupied by deep forests and swamps.

It is poor, the geographical location is not good, and it is quite a bit of 'surrounded by enemies', which makes the Chu State, which is adjacent to Jing in the north, the only reliance on Liu Jia.

- If you have an unpleasant quarrel with Liu Jiao, the king of Chu, the road back to Chu will be a must, and the caravans from Chu proper, as well as Qi, Zhao, Liang, and even all over Guanzhong, will not be able to set foot on the territory of Jing!

Even if Liu Jiao is righteous and does not do this kind of thing that hurts a thousand enemies and damages eight hundred, Liu Jia must curry favor with Liu Jiao.

There is no other reason: Liu Jiao is the current clan lineage, and his seniority is so noble that he is the same generation as Liu Bang, the son of heaven!

And Liu Jia is not only a generation lower than Liu Jiao, the king of Chu, Liu Bang, the son of heaven, and even Liu Xi, the Marquis of Heyang, but also has a side branch······

Out of this kind of consideration, Liu Jia had to echo Liu Jiao a little on this slightly sensitive topic.

Hearing Liu Jia's remarks, Liu Jiao thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but nod secretly.

"That's true."

"No matter what, it will be a brother after all, and Your Majesty should not be so gracious as he is······"

"No matter how bad it is, it should also be divided into the Marquis of Heyang?"

As he spoke, Liu Jiao's face turned pale, and he leaned his body slightly in the direction of Liu Jia.

"Didn't Your Majesty say that Peng Yue, Yingbu and others should all be deposed as marquises?"

"Today, the Liu clan is young, and he has not been crowned the king, only the Marquis of Heyang and the Marquis of Tangjie; The Marquis of Tangjie is afraid that he will not be king. ”

"Your Majesty's eight sons, the first king of Qi, the crown prince, the king of Zhao, and the other five are all weak; At most, the bento was when Chen Feng was in turmoil, with the fourth prince Heng as the acting king. ”

"In this way, when Liang and Huainan are ownerless, it will be the day when the Marquis of Heyang will be crowned king again."

Listening to Liu Jiao's self-muttering analysis of the future of the various vassal states in Guanzhong, Liu Jia nodded slightly invisibly, and slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Liu Jiao finally reacted after realizing it, so he stiffened his laughter a little embarrassedly, and did not talk about the princes.

After opening his eyes a little and making sure that Liu Jiao saw his difficulties, Liu Jia opened his eyes, bowed his hand to Liu Jiao with gratitude, and immediately changed the topic.

"Do you still remember that when the prince was a child, he was quite close to King Chu?"

Hearing this, Liu Jiao also felt that Liu Jia deliberately changed the topic, so he also followed.

"yes~"

Slightly smug in response, Liu Jiao chuckled lightly and fell into the memories of the past.

"Back then, when the prince was still young, he was looking for widows all day long, and threatened: Eloquently Confucius and Mencius's way of benevolence and righteousness!"

"In the righteousness of poetry and books, the prince has many good opinions."

"Hey, hey!"

"I don't know if the prince still likes his master's words over the years?"

As he spoke, Liu Jiao chuckled and shook his head, and a little regret slowly welled up on his face.

"It's a pity that I left Beijing in a bit of a hurry this time, and I didn't have time to see the prince······"

Listening to Liu Jiao's sigh, Liu Jia's face couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"yes~"

"Since I have been crowned a prince, it is rare to return to Chang'an, but I only stayed here for a few days."

"I don't know what ······year it will be when I enter the dynasty next time."

Listening to Liu Jia's exclamation, Liu Jia's face darkened slightly, and he thoughtfully lifted the curtain and looked at the Changle Palace in the distance, which had gradually blurred.

"I'm afraid that in the next two years, the widow will be with King Jing, and he will return to Chang'an······"

Hearing this, Liu Jia's face couldn't help but change, and when he looked at Liu Jiao, there was a little panic.

"Does the King of Chu mean ······?"

saw that Liu Jiao only looked out the window, nodded slightly, but shook his head with doubt.

"Your Majesty······"

"Alas······"

"Don't say it, don't say it······"

After a few murmurs with obscure meaning, Liu Jiao shook his head with embarrassment, put down the curtains of the car, closed his eyes and leaned on the side of the carriage.

Liu Jiao guessed correctly.

Just over a year later, the princes of the Kwantung clan, including Liu Jiao, will return to Chang'an to go to the national funeral.

But what Liu Jiao never expected was that by that time, Liu Jia, the cousin in front of him, had become the ghost of Huainan Wang Yingbu.

And Liu Xi, the Marquis of Heyang, who was guessed by Liu Jiao as 'should be able to be sealed in the land of Liang and Huainan', got Liu Jia's Yasukuni after Liu Jia, the king of Jing, died on the battlefield.

The person who got the land that Jing Guo thought was a fief was also thunderous in history.

——The nephew of Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty, the eldest son of Liu Xiyan, the king of Daiqing, and the ancestor of Liu Han: Liu Bi, the king of Wu!
