"Ahh

"Chirp!!"

"Ha ~~~~~~ tweet !!"

Shen Tujia, who was in the Former Anhou Mansion, was busy analyzing the psychological state of Liu Qi, the son of heaven, for Liu Pengzu and Liu Sheng, when the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, sneezed a few times one after another, but it caused Liu Wu, the king of Liang, to worry for a while.

"Big brother, do you have to take care of your health?"

"In recent days, Chang'an has been a bit cold······"

Without waiting for Liu Wu's words of concern, he saw Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, suddenly frown, and subconsciously raised his hand to his side;

I saw that a moment ago, on the side of the imperial couch, which was still empty, an old eunuch appeared out of nowhere, and handed the decoction that had obviously just come out to Liu Qi's outstretched hand.

Grunt;

Grunt.

Ignoring the hot and bitter decoction, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, only frowned and poured it violently, drank the decoction in the bowl in one gulp, and then stretched out his hand again with a distorted face and took the honey handed by the eunuch.

This time, Liu Qi was not in a hurry to pour the honey water, but drank the honey water in small sips as if tasting wine.

Feeling that the bitterness between his mouth and nose was dispelled, Liu Qi still didn't stop taking a small sip of honey water, and at the same time, he didn't forget to say vaguely: "Hmm... Anyway; ”

"It's halfway through October, and winter is coming."

"I'm also an old bone~"

"Gollum, Gollum······"

Speaking hard, a large bowl of honey water was also poured into Liu Qi's stomach, and the bitterness of the decoction had been dispelled, and the abdominal cavity, which was originally empty, was a little swollen and painful by this bowl of decoction and a bowl of honey.

"Hiss~~~"

"Hoo ·········"

I saw Liu Qi gently touch his stomach with his hand, and stood up very slowly, took a deep breath carefully, and then slowly spit it out;

Still unable to relieve the abdominal pain a little, Liu Qi was like a pregnant woman who had been pregnant for seven or eight months, supporting her waist with one hand and holding her belly with the other, and paced carefully on the edge of the imperial couch.

"Old~"

"It's just such a body and bones, I don't know I, I still have a few years to live······"

"Ugh!"

"Hmm, hmm······"

As soon as he paced two steps and said another word, Liu Qi's face distorted again;

The eunuch on the side was also quick-eyed, and when he saw that Liu Qi's face was wrong, he hurriedly stepped forward, held Liu Qi's arm, and carefully sat back on the imperial couch.

Almost at the same time when he was helped onto the couch by the eunuchs, Liu Qi also took advantage of the situation to lie down on the couch, but because of Liu Wu's presence, he did not lie down completely;

Instead, he stubbornly bent his arms and supported his upper body with his elbows, maintaining a 'lying down, but not completely lying' posture.

In front of the royal couch, looking at the elder brother of a fellow mother, but he was swelled like this by a bowl of medicine and a bowl of water, and he didn't care about the majesty of the Son of Heaven at all, and there were bursts of grief on the face of Liu Wu, the king of Liang.

"Big brother, take care······"

"The temple and shrine left by my father cannot be without the eldest brother······"

As soon as he spoke, Liu Wu found that his tone was inexplicably a little choked;

After realizing it, he lowered his head, and the tears that had long been gathered in his eyes also fell vertically on the ground in front of the imperial couch with Liu Wu's bowing movement.

Seeing Liu Wu like this, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, pretended to be relaxed, revealing a stiff smile;

smiled and nodded slowly to Liu Wu, and appeased Liu Wu's emotions with his eyes, Liu Qi could no longer hold up the last point of the majesty of the Son of Heaven, as if resigned to his fate, he lay straight on the royal couch.

Seeing this, Liu Wu didn't think much about it at all, and hurriedly came to the side of the imperial couch and squatted down, so that the eldest brother Liu Qi, who was lying on the imperial couch, could see himself as effortlessly as possible.

"In front of the third child, I, as the eldest brother, no longer have the slightest prestige at all······"

"Since it's all like this, why don't the third child come to my side and lie down?"

"Just like the winter when I was a child, the two of us, in the palace of the king of Jinyang, shivered from the cold, hiding in a bed of quilts to keep warm······

Listening to Liu Qi's inexplicable weakness and a slightly stubborn tone, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, was already crying;

Hearing Liu Qi's proposal again, Liu Wuzi also nodded with tears, and quickly turned his back while he got up, secretly wiping away the tears on his face.

After making sure that there were no obvious tears on his face, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, patted his cheek again to cheer himself up, and then obediently went to Liu Qi to lie down on his side.

It was not until this moment that Liu Wu, the king of Liang, discovered for the first time: Liu Qi, the eldest brother who had just turned thirty, was already occupied by ravines visible to the naked eye;

The sideburns, which should be covered with black silk, have also appeared a little white······

"Just now, what did the third child think of the debate between Huang Sheng and Yuan Gu?"

When he was stunned, the low tone of Liu Qi, the son of heaven, sounded, so that Liu Wu had to hurry back to his senses;

But seeing Liu Qi, the son of heaven beside him, he had already closed his eyes tiredly, but his brows were still slightly wrinkled intentionally or unintentionally.

Hearing that Liu Qi asked this question, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, couldn't help but be surprised;

But seeing Liu Qi's demeanor, and then looking at himself who was lying side by side on the couch at this moment, the worry in Liu Wu's heart also quietly dissipated······

"My brother thinks that Huang Sheng's knowledge is probably a bit unworthy of the name."

"If the eldest brother agrees, the younger brother will go to Changle Palace today and persuade the queen mother not to summon Huang Sheng into the palace again."

As soon as these words came out, he saw Liu Qi, the son of heaven, sneering, and although he was still lying flat on the royal couch with his eyes closed, he also shook his head gently.

"Huang Sheng~"

"Huang Sheng, ······"

"If it weren't for the fact that he was older, I would really want to recruit him into the court!"

As if he sighed regretfully, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, finally opened his eyes slowly, turned his head sideways with appreciation, and looked at his younger brother Liu Wu who was lying beside him.

"Huang Sheng, that's right."

"At least for my Han family, courtiers like Shang Tang and Zhou Wu are absolutely indispensable."

"What my Han family needs is the courtiers that Huang Sheng said;"

"——When the monarch makes a mistake, he can persuade and correct it on the sidelines, and never take the opportunity to make trouble and try to replace him······"

Listening to Liu Qi's slightly serious words, and then looking at the solemnity in Liu Qi's gaze that almost overflowed, Liu Wu nodded slowly while thinking about it.

"That's what the eldest brother said;"

"My Han family can't have courtiers like Shang Tang and Zhou Wu."

"There can't be like Liu Bi, the king of Wu, who relied on the identity of the elder of the clan to ignore the courtiers of the monarch and the courtiers in vain······"

Liu Wu's meaningful words also provoked Liu Qi to grin, and he looked at Liu Wu for a while, and the two brothers also looked at each other and smiled.

Feeling that the eldest brother's illness seemed to be alleviated, and the grief on Liu Wu's face also dissipated a lot, so he immediately propped up his head with his hands, and looked at Liu Qi with a little puzzlement as he did when he was a child.

"Since the eldest brother also thinks that Huang Sheng is right, then he is in the Xuan Room Palace, why is the eldest brother ······?"

"Hey!"

But seeing that Liu Wu's voice did not fall, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, laughed jokingly, and wrote a little painful face just now, which was already full of self-deprecation.

"What am I?"

"——'Mere' the body of the Son of Heaven~"

"But he is stubborn, and he is a 'great Confucian' and a 'celebrity'~"

"It's still the Doctor of Poetry appointed by my father himself!"

"What can I do with this old bone?"

said sarcastically, Liu Qi also had a little resentment on his face, as if he was with the doctor, as if he really had some deep hatred;

"You can't scold, you can't scold, you can't speak;"

"If there is something that doesn't suit his heart, he shouts to hang the seal and leave?"

"If he really wants to hang up the seal and leave, I am also happy!"

"Ke Gu is such a person~"

"—that mouth is screaming a smash!"

"There's no doorkeeper at all, he dares to say anything!"

"He dared to say that if no one believed it, it wouldn't be a big deal;"

"But those ordinary people, fools and foolish women really believe in his broken mouth!"

vented the anger in his chest with indignation, and the brows that the Son of Heaven Liu Qicai had just let go of immediately wrinkled again;

It's just that under the annoyance, Liu Wu can't tell whether the frowning brow is due to illness or simple anger.

"To put it bluntly, my identity as a 'medie' son of heaven, a celebrity like Yuan Gu ~ everyone ~"

"—he doesn't look down on it at all!"

"If I don't eat and drink well, and I am raised by high-ranking officials, if I really want to let such a person go back to my hometown, I don't know how much chaos will happen in this world!"

Listening to the eldest brother Liu Qi's indignant complaints, Liu Wu finally took away the last trace of sadness on his face, and only smiled slightly, but comforted the angry eldest brother.

"Actually, big brother, you don't have to be angry about such a person at all."

"——The truth that chivalry violates the prohibition with martial arts, and Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, was pointed out by Han Gongzi Fei as early as 100 years ago."

"It is normal for a Confucian student like Yuan Gu to pretend to be sanctimonious on the surface, but behind the scenes, he does things that are flies and dogs and corrupts the norm."

"It is precisely because of this that our grandfather, Emperor Taizu Gao, hates Confucianism so much, right?"

saw Liu Qi hearing this, he seemed to be angry and laughing, and as if he was nostalgic, he smiled and sighed;

Lying flat on the couch, looking at the roof of the Xuan Room Palace, his eyes gradually became a little scattered.

"Confucianism, there are still a few good courtiers······"

"Uncle Sun Tong of Fengchang during the reign of Xiang Taizu, not limited to the 'etiquette' of the Lu family and the likes of Confucianism, specially formulated a new number of etiquette for my Han family."

"Earlier, the elder brother of Quzhou Marquis Li Shang, Li Shiqi, relied on his three-inch incorruptible tongue to run for Emperor Taizu Gao among the Kwantung princes;"

"If it weren't for Han Xin's house, who fell in love with the wealthy Qi State, and was once in the Kanto region, Guangye Junli, who was praised by the world as 'another Su Qin and Zhang Yi', would not have been cooked."

"—and later Lu Jia;"

"I studied under Xunzi and learned "Li", but I went to South Vietnam several times, so that Zhao Tuo, who was old and immortal, reined in his thoughts that he shouldn't have, and turned to my Han family."

"As for Jia Yi and Jia Changsha, who was picked up by his father, he is a rare national soldier in a hundred years or even a thousand years!"

"It's a pity, God is jealous of Jia Sheng's talent······"

In a reminiscing tone, he said that in his heart, there are Confucian scholars who have been eye-catching since the Han Dynasty, and Liu Qi's eyebrows are also quietly a little sad;

And beside Liu Qi, Liu Wuzi, the king of Liang, also discovered the abnormality on Liu Qi's face.

looked at Liu Qi with a suspicious face, but saw that the more Liu Qi thought about it, the more annoyed he became, so he simply straightened up his upper body, propped his hands on his side, sat up on the couch, and presented his body at a large angle of obtuse;

It was not until this moment that Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, looked at Liu Wu's gaze, and finally brought the seriousness and solemnity that the Son of Heaven should have.

"Confucianism is nothing but a doctrine;"

"Confucianism is not good, and my Han family is not worried that there is no other obvious learning available."

"What I'm really worried about is Rong's kid······"

A whisper that seemed to be a reference also provoked Liu Wu to sit up from the couch, although his face was pretending to be calm, but looking at Liu Qi's gaze, he immediately brought a little scrutiny.

Liu Qi didn't notice Liu Wu's strange gaze at all, he only raised his head and let out a long sigh when he looked up to the sky.

"Alas······"

"Fang Cai's matter, the third child also saw it with his own eyes;"

"——Rong, this kid, is really not a ······"

"As for the other bastards, they are also stubborn ······"

"The second virtue, the fifth non, a rotten Confucian embryo, a reckless man;"

"The fourth and seventh Peng Zu, the big ones are so big that they can't speak, and the small ones will only be quick to speak;"

"The third brother and the little nine wins, the elder brother is submissive, and the younger brother is the only one who will cause trouble."

"The old six hair, the old eight, one has a disabled heart, and the other has a physical defect······"

In the end, Liu Qi was already extremely worried;

Seeing that Liu Wu didn't react, Yu Guang simply got up from the couch, held the edge of the couch with one hand, and sighed to himself.

"Before I succeeded Sheji, I gave birth to a total of nine sons;"

"There were nine sons, but none of them had a ······ of success"

"No matter what, these nine bastards are all my heirs."

"What flows in the body is also the blood of Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Xiaowen of the first Taizong······"

"Alas·········"

After saying that, Liu Qi turned his back again, shook his head and sighed for a while, leaving only his younger brother Liu Qi on the royal couch with an extremely lost and extremely sad lonely back.

Looking at Liu Qi's appearance like this, and then reminiscing about Fang Cai, Liu Qi's side put his heart in his heart, and Liu Wu's face finally appeared a little moved.

In the past few days, the teachings of 'don't act rashly' emphasized by the strategist Han Anguo and his mother Empress Dowager Dou several times were also unreservedly forgotten by Liu Wu at this moment.

——At this moment, Liu Wu only felt: In the whole world, it seems that only his younger brother can help his eldest brother Liu Qi.

And Liu Wu is also very willing to help Liu Qi······

"Big brother;"

"The friendship between the two of us, the eldest brother doesn't have to worry too much;"

"We are brothers who sleep on the same couch and under the same bed!"

"If the eldest brother has anything to say, you can be blunt."

"Even if I let my younger brother go to Dao Mountain and go down to the sea of fire, my brother and I will definitely not blink an eye!"

Full of confident Daoming attitude, Liu Wu had already stood up from the couch, clenched his back molars, and held back tears from his eyes.

——In Liu Wu's opinion, eldest brother Liu Qi, this is clearly to support the orphan!

At this point, any struggle for power and profit, what temples and societies have long been left behind by Liu Wu.

At this moment, Liu Wu just wants to be a good brother······

"Uh······"

With Liu Wu's more and more resolute face, Liu Qi, the son of heaven who sighed with his back to Liu Wu, finally held the edge of the couch with one hand and his lower abdomen with the other, and turned sideways very slowly;

When he saw Liu Wu's tearful eyes, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, who also wet his eyes, showed an extremely bleak bitter smile······

"Sit down······"

"Sit down and say ······"

With one hand caressing his heart, almost at a speed of one step every three seconds, he walked very slowly in front of Liu Wu, Liu Qicai trembled and stretched out his other hand, pulled his younger brother Liu Wu, and did it again on the couch.

It was at this moment that the face of Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, completely revealed a look that made Liu Wu, the king of Liang, feel extremely familiar.

——It was two years ago, when Emperor Liu Heng of the former Taizong Xiaowen was seriously ill and bedridden, and when he summoned the ministers of the court and the hundreds of officials to explain what happened after his death, there was a touch of self-deprecation and relief······

"Maybe it's my father, who misses me;"

"At most, it's only three or two years, and I may have to go to see my father."

"The matter of King Wu and Liu Bi can't be delayed any longer······"

The low and mournful tone, like a command transmitted by the brain to the tear gland, made Liu Wu's tear glands instantly out of control, and the tears that had accumulated for a long time burst out of his eyes in an instant.

"Brother understands ······"

A promise mixed with crying made Liu Qi smile miserably and stretched out his hand, trembling and patting the side of Liu Wu's face.

"I'm already planning to officially implement the "Cutting Domain" policy at the beginning of spring······"

"This winter, the third child will stay in Chang'an, accompany his mother, and accompany me;"

"After the beginning of spring, the third child will return to Suiyang with the weapons and ordnance allocated by the Shaofu to prepare······

"When the rebellion is quelled, and the third child carries the credit of 'Anzong Temple Sheji' to Chang'an again, it is time for the Queen Mother to promulgate the decree and establish the prince·········

In the end, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was already in tears, and his hands, which were as dry as a dead tree, held Liu Wu's arm tightly, as if he was trembling and shaking.

"Big brother, I have something to ask the third child;"

"No matter what, the third child must promise me ······"

Speaking of this, Liu Wu only felt a burst of extreme grief welling up in his heart, and he couldn't continue to sit on the imperial couch at all, so he just slid down the imperial couch leisurely and fell to his knees.

And Liu Qi, the son of heaven, finally put his trembling hand on Liu Wu's strong shoulder.

"Later, I'll go to find my father······"

"-Third child, but you must treat my nine bastards well······"

"Don't let those nine bastards go underground to see me too early······"

"Don't ·········"
