Chapter 038: The Emperor's Eldest Son, Liu Rong

Although he said so, in his heart, Liu Sheng still thought about it secretly.

It's not that after the last 'experience', Liu Sheng didn't have a long lesson;

It was Li Ji's move that made Liu Sheng feel inexplicably worried.

As for the reason, it is hidden in the conversation between Fang Cai, the three brothers.

"Auntie, it's the mouth of the imperial grandmother······"

"I rejected my aunt, but I rejected my grandmother;"

"I want my son to be the prince, but I offend the queen mother··········"

At this moment, Liu Sheng had only one thought.

It's a shame my mom wasn't so stupid!

Needless to say, just a little bit is enough to prove how stupid Kurihime's move is;

——The edict of canonizing the prince has never been the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, but the decree of the Queen Mother!

Who will be the prince, when to be the prince, and even whether someone can be the prince or not, is all decided by the queen mother!

Although in practice, the power of the Queen Mother is limited to: proposing candidates, communicating with the Son of Heaven, and obtaining the consent of the Son of Heaven, and then promulgating the canonization edict;

But like the Son of Heaven, the Queen Mother also has the power to veto a certain candidate.

For example, one day in the future, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, found the Empress Dowager Dou and said: Queen Mother, the country should have an heir, I think the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong is good;

Empress Dowager Dou can shake her head without any scruples: I don't think he can do it!

Don't ask why, if there is no why, it just won't work!

If necessary, Empress Dowager Dou can also directly refuse to promulgate the edict of canonization, just like Shen Tujia, who now refuses to stamp the prime minister's seal on the edict of the Son of Heaven.

To exaggerate a little more, if you don't take into account the feelings of the emperor's son, the Empress Dowager Dou can even directly issue an edict to divide the princes, and directly crown the prince who is the favorite of the Son of Heaven as the princes and kings!

That's right.

In today's Han family, not only is the canonization power of the prince and queen controlled by the queen mother, but even the canonization of clan relatives and princes as kings is also within the scope of the queen mother's powers and responsibilities.

Moreover, compared to the power restrictions that need to be discussed with the Son of Heaven when the crown prince and queen are ordained, the queen mother canonizes the princes and kings, and has undoubted autonomy.

If you are asked to be king, then you have to go where you will be king, and there is no discussion at all!

If the Son of Heaven dares to stand up and say anything, it is to force his mother to change his order, which is unfilial!

Under such circumstances, while looking forward to the future, Li Ji is looking forward to the life of her son Liu Rong after becoming the prince, and on the other hand, she offended the Empress Dowager Dou, who controls her son's fate, to death?

Liu Sheng could only say: Oh, cow batch!

Really a cow pie!

And this kind of operation?

"Poor big brother~"

"It's quite an honest person, and he was reincarnated so well, but he ended up with such a ······ girl"

After mourning for his eldest brother Liu Rong for three seconds in his heart, Liu Sheng took his mind back and continued to focus on the work in his hands.

Since the last incident, Liu Sheng has completely 'lay flat'.

What chestnut is not chestnut, the prince is not very son, Liu Shengtong respectfully stays away.

- I can't afford to mess with me, I can always hide, right?

If you have nothing to do, go to Shen Tujia to chat, on weekdays, in the one acre and three points of land in this Guangming Palace, do what you want to do, and wait for the king to become a vassal;

It doesn't get any easier than this.

It's just that Liu Sheng wanted to live a relaxed and comfortable life, but the troubles were like maggots on the tarsal bones, and he came to the door again.

"Xiao Jiu~"

"Xiao Jiu?"

There was a vague call in his ears, which caused Liu Sheng to turn his head with a strange expression;

After seeing that the brothers were still in the courtyard, exchanging their views on Li Ji, Liu Sheng finally looked in the direction of the palace gate with a little apprehension.

And when he saw the anxious face of the visitor, Liu Sheng's relaxed look on his face disappeared in an instant······

·

"Big brother;"

"It's all here, why don't you go in and sit?"

Looking at Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor who looked at him with embarrassment, Liu Sheng's tone couldn't help but be a little stiff.

As the eldest among the princes, Liu Rong undoubtedly gave birth to a good skin;

The upright facial features, the obviously thicker and darker eyebrows that teach ordinary people, and the soft eyes at that moment only make people feel comfortable all the time.

- Gentle as jade, this is what I am talking about.

But at this moment, Liu Rong was obviously panicked, and his gaze at Liu Sheng was full of pleading.

"Auntie's incident, Xiao Jiudang also knows?"

Hesitantly said a word, and when Liu Sheng nodded slightly, Liu Rong could no longer support the shelf of the 'emperor's eldest son', and his face suddenly became bitter.

"I didn't want my mother to do this, but my mother really didn't listen to my advice!"

"As a son, I really have no other way;"

"Right now, my aunt is afraid that she has gone to Changle Palace, and the imperial grandmother should be dissatisfied with me and my mother's concubine."

"But my mother didn't let me go to Changle Palace to explain it to the imperial grandmother······"

Seeing Liu Rong's earnest words, he looked at himself for help, and Liu Sheng couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Big Brother ······ Meaning"

"Let me go to Changle Palace on behalf of my eldest brother?"

"Exactly!"

As soon as Liu Sheng's words fell, Liu Rong hurriedly nodded, but the bitterness on his face was still not the slightest decrease.

"I'm worried about this, it's not my aunt's own mind, but the emperor's grandmother's intention;"

"If I don't explain it clearly, I'm worried that the imperial grandmother will misunderstand it because of this, thinking that my mother and I will not obey the imperial grandmother's arrangement at all······"

Speaking with a heavy voice, Liu Rong raised his head again, and his face, which was still a little green, was full of worry.

"Among the nine of our brothers, if anyone is closest to the emperor's grandmother, it is undoubtedly Xiao Jiu."

"Right now, the mother concubine has already made a big mistake, and she is not allowed to go to Changle for her brother;"

"Except for Xiao Jiu, I really don't know who else can help Brother Wei······"

After that, Liu Rong looked at Liu Sheng with pleading, and saw that Liu Sheng only had a worried face, so he simply bowed to Liu Sheng.

But even so, Liu Sheng's tightly locked brows did not have the slightest tendency to relax······

"Big brother;"

"I don't know whether this matter is right or wrong, brother."

"But the eldest brother should know: if you go to Changle Palace and confess to the imperial grandmother, then the eldest brother should go by himself."

"Big brother, think about it, if I go for my eldest brother, if the imperial grandmother asks, what should I say?"

"If you don't tell the truth, then the imperial grandmother will inevitably think that the eldest brother has no imperial grandmother in his eyes, and he won't even go to the confession in person;"

"But if I'm telling the truth, what should I say?"

"-Said that the eldest brother originally planned to go in person, but Kurihime didn't let him?"

"If I really say that, wouldn't the imperial grandmother be even more dissatisfied with Li Ji?"

Hearing this, Liu Rong's already bitter face suddenly sank even more;

After bowing his head and pondering for a long time, Liu Rong finally raised his head with a bitter face and looked at his younger brother Liu Sheng in front of him.

"Xiao Jiu is right, I also understand this truth."

"But even so, it's better than doing nothing for a brother?"

"If there is any other way, for brother, it will not be to ask Xiao Jiu's head······"
