"Stranded under Suiyang City for more than a month, Liu Bi's rebels could only turn to Changyi in the end;"

"But Taiwei Zhou Yafu was in Changyi, and he had already taken precautions, and the rebels attacked Changyi and couldn't go down, so they had to retreat in embarrassment."

"When they retreated to the vicinity of Huaisikou, there were only a few thousand Wu Chu rebels left under Liu Bi's command of more than 300,000 Wu Chu rebels."

"In the end, Liu Bi was defeated by the Gong Gao Marquis Han Rongdang at the Thorn Wall, and fled south alone, and his whereabouts are unknown······"

In the third year of the Son of Heaven, the fifteenth day of the fourth month of the summer.

Accompanied by his mother, Mrs. Jia, and his brother Liu Pengzu, he came to the Xuanming Hall where Cheng Ji was located, and read out the military report in his hand softly, and Liu Sheng finally raised his head with a light smile.

"Mrs. Cheng, don't worry anymore;"

"The rebellion is basically quelled, or it won't be long before the fifth brother will return triumphantly······"

"-Ah~"

As soon as Liu Sheng's words fell, he sat on the edge of the couch anxiously, looking at Liu Sheng's Cheng Ji without turning his eyes, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that in the past few months, the stubbornness that has always supported Cheng Ji has completely separated from Cheng Ji's body with this breath;

Seeing that Chang breathed a sigh of relief, his body immediately fell into the arms of Mrs. Jia beside him like a fat version without bones.

"My son······"

"I'm worried about it······"

With two humbles without strength, Cheng Ji's eyes turned red;

But unlike the past few months, the sorrow and worry when she cried alone at night - Cheng Ji at this moment was full of peace of mind written on her face.

Seeing Cheng Ji leaning on her arms, smiling and weeping, Mrs. Jia also lowered her head with mixed tastes and whispered relief to Cheng Ji in her arms.

On the other hand, a few brothers on the side squeezed their eyebrows at each other, and their eyebrows danced.

"Hey!"

"This battle, the fifth brother is really ······"

"-Ahh

Seeing Liu Pengzu raising his head excitedly, he didn't have time to finish a word, but Liu Sheng hurriedly stopped him.

When Liu Pengzu raised his head suspiciously, he saw Liu Shengchao on the side, still leaning on Mrs. Jia's arms, weeping and complaining about Cheng Ji's mouth;

After the meeting, the brothers hurriedly shrank their necks, and then under Liu Sheng's eyes, they retreated lightly outside the hall.

After walking a little farther, Liu Shengcai looked at his brother Liu Pengzu with a wry smile.

"The fifth brother hasn't come back yet, Mrs. Cheng, I'm afraid I'm still worried about the fifth brother."

"Words like 'Fifth Brother Yongwu', let's not say it in front of Mrs. Cheng first."

"——As the saying goes: the child travels thousands of miles, and the mother is worried;"

"What's more, the fifth brother is going into battle to kill the enemy and fight for the country······"

Hearing this, Liu Pengzu also nodded with a smile, jumped up with a happy expression, and put his arms around the neck of the fourth Liu Yu.

"Hey!"

"In this battle, the fifth brother is really in the limelight!"

"——Suiyang, which was originally about to be broken, the fifth brother brought 30,000 people to it, and the situation was reversed in an instant!"

"Waiting for the army class teacher, my father will reward him for his meritorious deeds, except for the bow marquis Han Yandang who attacked Huaisikou, he should belong to the fifth brother, and he is the person with the greatest merit, right?"

was full of excitement, which also caused the sixth Liu Fa and the eighth Liu Duan on the side to chuckle and nod;

Only Liu Yu, who was caught by Liu Pengzu's neck, smiled a little stiffly, and gently broke free from Liu Pengzu's confinement.

After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, he raised his head with a little worry and looked at the ninth brother Liu Sheng in front of him.

"Old... Old Five··· Branch··· Aid··· Suiyang, yes··· Emperor··· Huangzu··· Mother ······"

After struggling to say half a sentence, Liu Yu's face couldn't help but become a little impatient, and he was about to say more, but he saw Liu Shengwen nodding with a smile.

"Fourth brother's worries, I understand."

"I've already inquired;"

"——The fifth brother led his troops south from Handan to support Uncle Liang in Suiyang, which was indeed the instruction of the emperor's grandmother."

"But before setting off from Handan, the fifth brother consulted his father, and he also got his father's acquiescence."

"So on the father's side, the fourth brother doesn't have to worry too much."

The gentle words finally made Liu Yu's face fade from worry, and after a while, just like the rest of the people, he grinned with joy.

Don't say anything else: In this battle, Liu Fei, the fifth son of the emperor, can be said to have earned enough face for the Liu clan, especially for the brothers!

Under the city of Suiyang, tens of thousands of rebels were repelled in one fell swoop;

After that, there was an angry roar, which frightened tens of thousands of rebels to mutiny!

In the following days, Suiyang City, which was originally on the verge of collapse, was also transformed by Liu Fei's arrival.

When Han Chuan attacked Huaisikou, the final word was reached, and Suiyang City, which should have been breached a long time ago, became a fortified city that was 'unbreakable' in the eyes of Liu Bi, the king of Wu.

- In the end, Liu Bi even preferred to attack Changyi, where Zhou Yafu was located!

"I don't know what kind of reward my father will promise······"

"Daughter?"

While thinking about it, Liu Pengzu's amazed exclamation sounded in his ears, which caused Liu Sheng to smile meaningfully.

"I heard that the imperial grandmother has already planned to give Liu Wei's Wu Kingdom to the fifth brother······

"-Wu Guo?!"

Liu Sheng's words only provoked the brothers to suddenly widen their eyes, and hurriedly rushed forward!

Even Liu Duan, the eighth child, quietly walked to Liu Sheng's side with a little surprise.

"Wu Kingdom, but now, the richest vassal state!"

"I'm afraid that the Qi State and the Zhao State together are not as rich as the Wu State!"

"Grandmother Huang, do you really want to make the fifth brother the king of Wu?"

Seeing the brothers surrounding him with great interest, Liu Sheng only smiled and shook his head.

"It's not King Wu;"

"—It's the king of Jiangdu."

said indifferently, but it did not weaken the surprise on the faces of the brothers;

I saw Liu Sheng explain carefully: "Before the rebellion broke out, the three counties of Wu had been cut off from the two counties of Huiji and Yuzhang; ”

"Now that the rebellion has been put down, my father will naturally not re-incorporate these two counties into the territory of Wu."

"Therefore, only the Wu Kingdom of Guangling County is left, and it should become the 'Guangling Kingdom'."

"But in the past, Liu Bi's royal capital was Guangling City, and it was still a little inappropriate to change Wu State to 'Guangling Kingdom'."

"Out of this consideration, the imperial grandmother plans to change the state of Wu to the 'Jiangdu country', and use Guangling County as the fiefdom to give it to the fifth brother······"

The gentle tone made the surprised faces of the brothers slow down slightly;

After a moment, there was another wave of surprise.

"That's not bad!"

"—Although there is only one Guangling County left, there are still many mines!"

"Just by mining and smelting copper, you can make gold every day!"

"Tut-tut······"

"In the future, the life of the fifth brother will be much more chic than a few of us~"

Liu Pengzu's sighing words also caused the brothers to nod their heads.

After a while, the big guy's attention was focused on ······

"Fifth brother is sealed to Jiangdu, so what about us?"

"How many of us, where will we be sealed?"

Liu Duan rarely opened his mouth to ask questions, which made Liu Sheng involuntarily turn his head sideways.

After a while, the four elder brothers, Liu Yu, the fourth Liu, Liu Fa, the seventh, Liu Pengzu, and the eighth Liu Duan, all looked at him expectantly, and Liu Sheng withdrew his gaze from Liu Duan.

Turning his head sideways without a trace, he glanced around for a moment or so;

After determining everyone nearby, Liu Sheng beckoned, motioned for his brothers to come closer, and then leaned down.

"It's hard to say exactly where it will be sealed;"

"But the four kings of the rebellious Qi system should be able to vacate the four vassal states for us."

"In addition, King Zhao's side, although he did not raise troops, he would at least be cut down by a county."

"If the father is ruthless, it is not impossible to change the king of Zhao······"

Liu Sheng deliberately lowered the volume, but it did not affect the faces of the brothers at all, and with Liu Sheng's words, he gradually took on the color of excitement.

- The rebellious four kings of the Qi family, not to mention what happened to them, at least the four vassal states will definitely change people to be kings;

These four countries, although they are a little smaller, are also separated from the Qi country that was once 'rich in the world'.

For the brothers who are not long-term brothers, small countries such as Jiaoxi and Jiaodong can already be regarded as good feudal countries.

As for Zhao Guo, it really made a burst of irrepressible desire in the hearts of several brothers!

But the brothers also knew in their hearts: the few people present may not become the future King of Zhao.

The reason is very simple: Zhao is the most important and powerful clan vassal state in the northern border wall of the Han Dynasty.

According to the rules set by Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang, when the Huns suddenly slept on the border, King Zhao had the privilege of first mobilizing the soldiers and horses of Yan and Dai to resist foreign enemies, and then playing Chang'an afterwards.

It is precisely because of this privilege that in this rebellion initiated by Liu Wei, the king of Wu, and Liu Wu, the king of Chu, Liu Sui, the king of Zhao, who had not yet raised troops, was 'taken care of' by the Chang'an court.

It's not because of how good King Zhao and Liu Sui are, and how jealous the Chang'an court is;

It is the special position of 'King Zhao', which makes any King Zhao who is not firm enough to become the object of attention of the Chang'an court.

——The privilege of King Zhao's "commanding the soldiers of Yan, Dai, and Zhao in wartime" and "responding to the enemy first, and then playing", if the Chang'an court relaxes its vigilance, it is likely to trigger a Han-Hungarian war!

And this war is likely to start with 'the Huns have occupied the three kingdoms of Yan, Dai and Zhao'······

"Zhao Guo~"

"It should be given to the second or third child, right?"

"-After all, when the eldest brother becomes the crown prince, he must be the king of Zhao by a sibling brother who is trusted by the eldest brother;"

"Even if my father wants to abolish Liu Sui, he will not let our brothers be the kings of Zhao."

"If you go to the sky, you will divide a county from Zhao State and make one of us a feudal country?"

Liu Pengzu said jokingly, and the brothers nodded again and again.

After a while, the fourth Liu Yu looked at Liu Sheng's gaze, but he was faintly embarrassed.

"Liu... Biao··· Defeated, Wu ··· Wu Guo··· It was ... Sealed to··· Old Five; ”

"Liu... Liu Wu··· Of... Chu··· Chu State ······"

As the speaker, Liu Yu did not forget to smile and bow his head, as if he felt very ashamed that he had such a thought;

Liu Sheng didn't care too much about this, and understood that Liu Yu was asking about the situation of Chu State, so he also said bluntly: "Chu State should still be given to the descendants of King Chu Yuan by his father." ”

"-After all, the two counties of Huiji and Yuzhang of Wu State will be turned into counties, and the only remaining Guangling County will also be given to the fifth brother;"

"If the state of Chu is abolished as a county again, or given to a few of our brothers, people in the world will say: My father forced Liu Wei and Liu Wu to rebel because he coveted the land of Wu Chu."

"Therefore, the state of Chu can only be given to one of the two people, Liu Fu, the Marquis of Hong, and Liu Li, Marquis of Pinglu."

"Hmmm······"

Saying that, Liu Sheng pondered for a while before continuing: "There is a high probability that it will be Liu Li, Marquis of Pinglu. ”

"Because the red marquis Liu Fu was originally a marquis of Hugh, after Liu Wu raised an army, he was implicated by Liu Wu and was stripped of the title of Marquis of Che by his father;"

"It wasn't until Liu Li, Marquis of Pinglu, entered the palace and told his father that Hou Xiu had prevented Liu Wu from doing chaos, and his father named Liu Fu as the Red Marquis."

"Now that the Red Marquis has been sealed, it is unlikely that Liu Fu will be named the King of Chu again."

"In this way, after Liu Wu, there is a high probability that the Sheji of the Chu State will fall into the hands of Liu Li, the Marquis of Pinglu······"

Whispering his guess, Liu Sheng sighed and sighed, but also fell into a short period of thought.

This rebellion of the clan princes, which was first launched by Liu Wei, the king of Wu, and responded to by Liu Wu, the king of Chu, is now coming to an end;

Liu Bi, the king of Wu, who took the lead in launching a rebellion and had already been defeated and fled, was about to lose everything he once had;

The state of Wu, which once owned the three counties of Guangling, Yuzhang and Huiji, is about to become Liu Fei's Jiangdu State.

The ancestral hall of the state of Chu left by Liu Jiao, the only younger brother of Emperor Taizu Gao, Liu Jiao, the king of Chu Yuan, will return to Liu Jiao's other son: Liu Li, Marquis of Pinglu, after Liu Jiao's son: Liu Yingke (yǐng) Ke, the king of Chuyi, and Liu Yingke's son: Liu Wu.

As for the Qi line······

"Hey!"

"Qi is the seven kings, four raised troops to rebel, one wanted to rebel but didn't succeed, and the other didn't want to rebel, but he was coerced by Zhou Qiu;"

"The only remaining Qi king, Liu Jianglu, also promised Liu Bi in advance that he would raise troops, and he temporarily repented of it······"

"I don't know if my father will be ruthless and depose the other six Qi princes except Liu Jianglu?"

Liu Sheng sighed with a slight sigh, and finally provoked the brothers to nod their heads for the last time.

Then, the brothers all lowered their heads, and there was a faint sadness on their faces.

Talking about this, the brothers have basically already counted it in their hearts.

- Liu Sui's Zhao Guo, there is a high probability that it will be awarded to the eldest Liu Rong's two half-brothers: one of the second Liu De and the third Liu Si;

Considering that the second Liu De is 'good at writing', and Zhao Guo needs to shoulder the border defense task, the position of King Zhao is more likely to fall on the head of the third Liu Si.

As for the rest of the six brothers, removing the fifth Liu Fei, who is already about to become the king of Jiangdu, the five people present will basically be sealed to Qi Land, replacing the Qi kings who raised troops and making trouble, and become the king of Jiaoxi and Jiaodong.

Further down, it is the four-year-old ten-year-old Liu Yu and the one-year-old eleventh Liu Yue, and it is likely that they will go to Qidi, Zhaodi, or Changsha in the south.

Each of them has a number in their hearts, and the brothers naturally thought: the day when the king will be crowned is not far away;

The rebellion has been basically quelled, and when everything is settled, the counterinsurgency army will return to the court, and the court will be busy with the aftermath of the war.

This means that just a few months later, the brothers will go their separate ways to complete the transformation from 'prince' to 'prince';

As for the brothers' biological mothers, Mrs. Jia, Cheng Ji, and Tang Ji, they will still stay in the palace······

"Alas~"

"It's all fate~"

"It is our destiny to be crowned a king, and the mother and son to part, ······"

Liu Pengzu sighed leisurely, and the brothers were even more sad on their faces;

Seeing this, Liu Shengzong was full of reluctance to his mother in his heart, and he could only force a smile and look at the brothers beside him.

"Soon, our brothers will be divided into separate domains;"

"Before the fifth brother came back, we all spent more time with our mothers."

"When the fifth brother returns triumphantly, our brothers will reunite."

"——After the feudal domain, the next time we meet, I don't know what year and month it will be······"

Hearing this, the fourth Liu Yu nodded sadly, stretched out his hand, pulled the six Liu Fa and the eighth Liu Duan's two younger brothers, and walked towards the palace where Cheng Ji and Mrs. Jia were.

- Xuanming Palace, not only the palace of Cheng Ji, the mother of Liu Yu, Liu Fei, and Liu Duan, but also the residence of Tang Ji, the mother of the sixth Liu Fa.

And after these people walked into the palace, the corridor pavilion that was still crowded by a few brothers, but at this moment, only Liu Pengzu and Liu Sheng were left.

"What about us?"

"Let's take our mother back to Guangming Palace?"

Liu Pengzu asked with a stiff smile, but Liu Sheng shook his head with a wry smile.

"Let Mother, talk to Mrs. Cheng more."

"Let's go see the teacher again······"

With a soft voice, the smile on Liu Pengzu's face suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a touch of grief visible to the naked eye.

As for Liu Sheng, although there was no obvious sadness on his face, his dim gaze had already explained everything.

- Shen Tujia's physical condition is very bad······

Especially after the news of 'Han Yandang's surprise attack on Huaisikou' came back to Chang'an, Shen Tujia, who had always been worried about the war in the Kanto region, completely relaxed the string that had always been tight in his heart.

It is precisely with that relaxed heartstring that Shentu Jiaqiang held on to his body that did not fall, and finally failed to escape the erosion of the years······

On the morning of the same day, news came from Kanto: Gong Gaohou attacked Huaisikou, and the overall situation has been decided!

At noon, Shen Tujia ate a bowl of rice porridge with peace of mind, and then fell asleep;

This night, Shen Tujia slept for two days and two nights······

Yesterday, Shen Tujia woke up, but there was no longer the previous one, which seemed to always be able to support Liu Hansheji's spirit;

To this day, Shen Tujia, who fell into a coma again, has been given a critical illness notice by the imperial doctor in the palace······

"-Teacher, you spent the last of your life in this rebellion······"

"As soon as the rebellion ended, the teacher was relieved;"

"But the oil is also exhausted······ lamp withered"

In a mournful word, Liu Sheng's tone instantly choked up;

And Liu Pengzu, who was on the side, only sighed and stepped forward and gently patted Liu Sheng's shoulder.

"Let's go;"

"Let's go see the teacher again."

"Even if you are in front of the sickbed, it is better than being in the palace and worrying about the teacher······"
