Chapter 100: Liu Qi's Nature (1/2)

With the support of his brother Liu Pengzu, he returned to Weiyang Palace, poured a bowl of decanting soup in a daze, and Liu Sheng threw himself on the couch, staring at the roof, and his eyes were stunned;

But soon, with the figure of his mother, Mrs. Jia, he was helped into the house by his brother Liu Pengzu, Liu Shengrao was reluctant to get up, so he had to sit up honestly.

After Liu Pengzu pulled two wooden chairs made by Liu Sheng himself, and then sat in front of the couch with Mrs. Jia, Liu Sheng finally took a deep breath and slowly spit it out······

"Mother doesn't have to worry;"

"The child is fine."

"The child just can't understand why someone can be so cold-blooded as ······"

With a numb expression, Liu Sheng didn't forget to squeeze out a stiff smile, so that his mother, Mrs. Jia, could rest assured.

Because Liu Sheng knew that the main reason why his mother appeared here was that he was worried about himself who was stunned and didn't say a word on the way back to the palace.

In the past few years, especially after Liu Sheng turned six years old, no matter how big things happened, Mrs. Jia never came to the harem;

Even if there was something, it was Liu Sheng and his brother Liu Pengzu who discussed it, and then Liu Pengzu went to inform Mrs. Jia of the results of the discussion.

But today, Mrs. Jia came to the apse for the first time and appeared for the first time at the 'meeting' where the two sons discussed and communicated······

"Sheng'er ······"

Seeing that Liu Sheng was clearly devastated, but he still didn't forget to pretend to be calm, so that he wouldn't worry, Mrs. Jia only subconsciously said the word 'Sheng'er';

But the words 'don't think too much' in the back, Mrs. Jia tried several times, but she never got it out······

"Your Majesty's temperament, Sheng'er must be mentally prepared······"

"If you don't understand it as soon as possible, you are likely to cause trouble in the future······"

It seems to be casual, and it is clearly full of deep meaning to remind Liu Sheng to wake up like a dream.

- Mrs. Jia is indeed a rare honest and responsible person among the concubines in the harem.

But the 'honest man' here is only compared to other concubines.

Although Mrs. Jia is still a 'fuel-efficient lamp' in terms of jealousy and intrigue, she can give birth to two sons in this treacherous deep palace and raise both sons with all beards and tails, which is enough to show that no matter how fuel-efficient the lamp is, he is also a lamp.

At least the survival skills, Mrs. Jia, still have them.

And at this moment, when Mrs. Jia intentionally or unintentionally reminded Liu Sheng to 'see the true face of His Majesty as soon as possible', Liu Sheng finally reacted: he was deceived by his father Liu Qi again;

In other words, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, once again refreshed his lower limit.

As for Mrs. Jia's harem concubine, an honest person and a responsible person, how she saw that the Son of Heaven Liu Qi was 'so natural', I have to mention the attitude of the Son of Heaven Liu Qi towards feelings.

——From today, the ten sons who are still alive, as well as the biological mothers of these ten sons, it is not difficult to see that Liu Qi, the son of heaven, is actually an 'affectionate person' to a certain extent.

Li Ji, who was the first to be favored, successively gave birth to three sons, the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong, the emperor's second son Liu De, and the emperor's third son Liu Si, and there was a daughter who was born but could not be supported;

In other words, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, once maintained the attitude of being alone and maintaining the time of 'four children'.

This is five or six years, that is, the emotional experience between Liu Qi, the son of heaven, from the young Mu Ai to the crowned adult.

After Li Ji, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, quickly turned the 'gun head', and in his early twenties, he began to favor Cheng Ji alone.

In another seven or eight years, Cheng Ji, who was favored by Liu Qi, the son of heaven, successively gave birth to Liu Yu, the fourth son of the emperor, and Liu Fei, the fifth son of the emperor;

Then, Cheng Ji was ill for a while, and let his personal maid give birth to the sixth son of the emperor, Liu Fa, and after he recovered, he gave birth to the eighth son of the emperor, Liu Duan.

Throwing away these three sons, as well as the time when she was sick, Cheng Ji also gave birth to two daughters for Liu Qi, the son of heaven.

When Cheng Ji gradually declined, Liu Qi's favor was transferred to Liu Sheng and Liu Pengzu's mother: Mrs. Jia.

- Speaking of which, Mrs. Jia was able to give birth to Liu Pengzu, or took advantage of Cheng Ji's illness to make Mrs. Jia inadvertently take advantage of the loophole;

It was also after Mrs. Jia became pregnant with Liu Pengzu that Cheng Ji, who had not yet recovered, 'forcibly regained from her injuries', and gave birth to Liu Duan, the eighth son of the emperor, with her sick body, wanting to win back the favor of Liu Qi, the son of heaven.

But with the birth of Xiaojiu Liu Sheng, Cheng Ji's dream of 'regaining exclusive favor' was officially shattered;

It was precisely less than a year after Liu Sheng was born that the special favor of Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was like beating a drum and passing flowers, and it spread to Wang Meiren, who gave birth to the tenth son of the emperor more than a year ago······

"Whew~~"

"yes······"

"If you enter a concubine, you will be favored; The color decays and becomes a success, and the cycle ······begins again and again."

"I knew these things a long time ago, and I should have understood what kind of person my father was······"

"Use it like a baht, discard it like a shoe······"

"Huh······"

Shaking his head and sighing, Liu Sheng raised his head with a wry smile, winked at his mother, Mrs. Jia, and nodded at the same time;

And after seeing Liu Sheng's expression, Mrs. Jia finally let go of the worries in her heart.

——This expression is the exclusive expression of Liu Sheng and Mrs. Jia's mother and son.

As long as this expression appears, it means that Liu Sheng promised: I will never let my mother down in this matter······

"It's not a bad thing to see it sooner;"

"Just like me, find your place as soon as possible, and you won't be like Kurihime, who always does something inappropriate;"

"It's okay once or twice once in a while, but if you make trouble a few times or three times, once you annoy Your Majesty, you will bring trouble to yourself and even your children······"

Listening to Mrs. Jia's gentle admonition, Liu Sheng only smiled and nodded: "What my mother taught." ”

The depression in his heart was untied by his mother's words, and Liu Shengzi no longer had a psychological burden;

Reshape his face, look at his brother Liu Pengzu on the side, and then scatter his rejuvenated gaze to his mother Mrs. Jia in front of him.

"Just now in the Changxin Palace, Li Ji invited her mother to the Phoenix Hall to meet;"

"What does Mother think?"

asked softly, but it made Mrs. Jia sigh uncontrollably, and there was a faint worry in her eyes when she looked at Liu Sheng.

"If I hadn't been able to make up my mind, I, as a mother, wouldn't have come to this apse to disturb the peace of your two brothers;"

"This time, I want my son to win, so that I can point out my mother······"

In an extremely serious tone, he said this sentence full of ridicule, and saw Mrs. Jia smile bitterly and express the worry in her heart.

"Earlier, Your Majesty and King Liang had a drink, and after drinking, they said that sentence, but it was fine."

"Sheng'er said that Your Majesty wanted to coax King Liang, and I also thought at the time that it should be like this."

"But now, the Queen Mother has stepped in again, clearly forcing Her Majesty to issue an edict to establish the prince and the posture of King Liliang;"

"With the Queen Mother intervening in this matter, I'm afraid I can't say what the final result will be······"

Speaking hard, Mrs. Jia's brows have been quietly wrinkled, and her face, which is always peaceful and gentle on weekdays, is also full of worry at the moment.

"In this matter, Sheng'er has to think about it, what should my mother and son do."

"If the position of the prince really falls to the head of King Liang, then this matter is not only the matter of the eldest son of the emperor;"

"It's a major matter related to the lives of your two brothers, and even all your sons."

"-Sheng'er will talk about it first;"

"Phoenix Palace, should my mother go?"

"If you go, how should you deal with yourself, how should you deal with Kurihime?"

Worriedly said this, Mrs. Jia's worried eyes immediately fell on Liu Sheng.

saw Liu Sheng hear this, first bowed his head and thought for a moment, then turned his head sideways, and looked at his brother Liu Pengzu for a while;

After Liu Pengzu nodded his head in agreement, Liu Shengcai slowly turned around and smiled lightly at Mrs. Jia.

"Uncle Liang's matter, mother doesn't have to worry too much."

"—Father would never let that promise fall on any of the edicts that were sealed."

"Even if the queen mother uses the seal and issues the edict, the father will definitely do everything to force the emperor's grandmother to swallow the edict of Uncle Liang Wang, even with the words in the stomach!"

Without hesitation, he expressed all the thoughts in his heart, but seeing that his mother was still suspicious, Liu Sheng only smiled bitterly and shook his head;

After thinking about it for a while, he slowly got up, pulled the stove at the door to his mother's side, and sat down on the spot on Mrs. Jia's knees.

"Son, tell your mother a story."

"This story is about an emperor and the mother of the Queen Mother."

The gentle words made Mrs. Jia nod her head a little suspiciously;

I saw Liu Sheng take a deep breath, surrender his gaze to the stove beside him, and quietly immerse himself in the memories.

"It is said that he is a monarch, only thirteen years old, he lost his father, and succeeded to the throne at a young age, and the lord is doubtful."

"And the mother of the young monarch is also very young, less than thirty years old;"

"After the death of her husband, her son ascended to the throne at a young age, and he became a monarch and fledgling;"

"This woman is also a mother and a son, and she has become the queen mother, but she is not willing to be widowed for her dead husband at all, so she gradually became unscrupulous."

"-At the beginning, it was an affair with the minister of the DPRK and the forbidden man in the palace;"

"Later, he directly selected a beloved man, only plucked the man's beard, lied to the outside world that he was a eunuch, and brought this man into the palace, day and day, and sang and sang every night······

Hearing that her twelve-year-old son mentioned these red-faced words in front of her, Mrs. Jia's face couldn't help but feel a little awkward;

On the side, hearing the story told by Liu Sheng, Liu Pengzu already knew it, so he also knelt down on the other side of Mrs. Jia with a gentle smile, and waited quietly for Liu Sheng's next words.

"Soon, the lascivious Queen Mother gave birth to an heir with the man she loved, that is, the fake eunuch;"

"In order to prevent this matter from being known to outsiders, the queen mother even lied to the outside world: there was a diviner who said that the palace was unlucky, so she took her children and beloved men and hid in a palace outside the royal city."

"It was only later that the matter was finally revealed, and someone told the young monarch that the Queen Mother had an affair with someone and gave birth to an heir."

"Even the Queen Mother's private words to others, 'If the king is dead, let this young son succeed to the throne', it reached the ears of the young monarch."

"Mother guess, how did the young monarch deal with this?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Jia only shook her head slightly, and said tentatively with suspicion: "Committed suicide in shame? ”

"Or did you abdicate and give way to Xian?"

"You can't ······"

"-I really killed the Queen Mother, right?!"

But when Liu Sheng heard this, he only smiled bitterly and shook his head;

Looking at his brother Liu Pengzu and smiling, Liu Shengcai slowly got up, put his hands on the stove, and continued while taking warmth: "Of course not. ”

"The young monarch did not commit suicide in shame, nor did he abdicate to make way for Xian, nor did he kill his mother."

"—The young monarch, who broke the man his mother's beloved, and threw his two half-brothers to death;"

"As for the Queen Mother, she was imprisoned in that palace by the young monarch, and ordered: The Queen Mother is never allowed to return to the royal city;"

"The young monarch also ordered: If someone intercedes for the Queen Mother, the body of the person who intercedes will be displayed in public, and the flesh of the back will be scraped off with thistle, and the limbs will be cut off and piled up under the city."

"In the end, there were as many as twenty-seven court dukes who were brutally executed by the monarch for interceding for the queen mother······"

The leisurely words made Mrs. Jia's face suddenly stagnate, and a little horror suddenly appeared in her eyes!

It was no longer a delicate hand, and it involuntarily covered its mouth.

But seeing Liu Sheng take a deep breath, calm down, and continued: "After splitting the car of the man who had fornicated with the Queen Mother, throwing two half-brothers to death, and then imprisoning the Queen Mother in the palace, and executing all the ministers who interceded for the Queen Mother, the young monarch wrote a letter to the former Xiangguo. ”

In the letter, the young monarch said, "What credit do you have to Sheji? Can it occupy 100,000 households now? ”

"What is the intimate relationship between you and the clan? I want to call you a middle father! ”

"Don't get in the way of my eyes anymore, take your family and go to Shu to live."

"After receiving this letter, the former Xiangguo committed suicide by drinking in the fiefdom."

"- Because the man who was pretended to be a palace man by the Queen Mother, but had fun with the Queen Mother in the palace day and night, said to the outside world that he was the false father of the young monarch, and even wanted to usurp power and seize the throne, was the former Xiangguo, who was introduced to the Queen Mother······"

"When the old Xiangguo also died, and many years passed, the young monarch took the queen mother back to the palace;"

"But it's only because people all over the world are accusing the monarch of 'not being filial to his mother'······"

As Liu Sheng's gentle and gentle words fell, there was a long silence in the bedroom.

Recalling the story told by Liu Sheng, Mrs. Jia's face was even more changeable, with mixed tastes.

- Thinking of the shameless Queen Mother, Mrs. Jia only felt that such a woman was simply a shame on women all over the world!

Thinking of the fake eunuch who had an affair with the Queen Mother and even gave birth to an heir, Mrs. Jia hated it even more, and she couldn't bite that person in one bite!

But when she thought of the young monarch who killed the fake eunuch, threw her brother to death, and imprisoned her mother, Mrs. Jia felt a bad feeling in her heart······

"The young man is established, and the mother not only helps the child, but disgraces the emperor······"

"Alas······"

"This young monarch is probably a poor man, right?"

Seeing Mrs. Jia's unsettled and mournful posture, Liu Sheng got up from the ground and looked at his mother with a smile.

"Does Mother know who the people in this story are?"

"—The Queen Mother in this story is the first Empress Dowager in history: Zhao Ji;"

"The fake eunuch who had an affair with Zhao Ji and gave birth to an heir is a strange traitor through the ages: Chang Yu."

"The old Xiangguo who was sealed with 100,000 households, but was finally forced to death by the young monarch, is Qin Xiang Lu Buwei;"

"And the young monarch who made his mother feel sympathy and grief was none other than Qin Shi Huangdi: Yingzheng ······"

The indifferent words finally made Mrs. Jia feel relieved, stunned for a moment, and then raised her head uneasily.

But seeing Liu Sheng smile again, he immediately turned around, returned to the edge of the couch and sat down, and pointed to the direction of the Xuanshu Hall outside the hall and had been hidden in the dark······

"The ······ of Xiangguo who was forced to die"

"The Rebel ······ Broken by a Car"

"The Queen Mother ······ Imprisoned"

"The ········· who was killed because he threatened the big position"

Muttering with a dull face, Mrs. Jia couldn't help but raise her head slightly, but when she saw the edge of the couch, Liu Sheng only smiled bitterly and nodded slowly to herself.

"There may be many differences between my father and Yingzheng, and it can even be said that there are no similarities."

"But at this point, my father and Yingzheng are the same people."

"——Never allow the great position to be threatened, for the sake of the temple, the community, can be ruthless to relatives, and even to the mother who gave birth to him!"

The words were firmly spoken, and Liu Sheng froze for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"Before, I thought that no matter how ruthless my father was, he was only ruthless to outsiders;"

"For relatives, my father shouldn't be too much."

"But today, in Changle Palace, the child finally understands: The father and the emperor and Yingzheng are actually the same kind of people······"

The slightly embarrassed and obviously self-deprecating words finally provoked Mrs. Jia to nod thoughtfully.

"I see;"

"With His Majesty here, King Liang can only be King Liang forever."

"When Your Majesty is gone, King Liang will be gone for a long time·········"

Seeing that his mother finally saw through it, Liu Sheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and shrugged his shoulders pretending to be strong.

"So, Phoenix Palace, mother has to go."

"But after she went, she didn't need to do anything;"

"Just sit with Tang Ji, hide behind Cheng Ji, and look very worried and frightened."

"If Li Ji asks for anything, her mother can come according to Cheng Ji's charter, but if it doesn't work, she can agree."

"Just promise to promise;"

"If Kurihime really wants her mother to do something, mother, she has to learn from today's father······"
