Chapter 349: The Wheel of History

The first great ceremony of the first year of the Son of Heaven's victory in the first year of the new year, under the deliberate 'connivance' of the Empress Dowager Dou, was presided over by Liu Sheng, who had not yet been crowned pro-government, and ended successfully.

As for the big plan, today is just the beginning - in the next two to three months, the officials of the entire Chang'an court will be busy with relevant approvals and calculations.

The court was very busy, which provided Liu Sheng with rare leisure;

——Since Liu Sheng ordered his brothers, as well as his younger brother Liu Yu, who was the only king to return to Beijing for funeral, Liu Sheng has never been able to find an opportunity to talk and reminisce with his brothers.

The leisure time after the end of the great ceremony is undoubtedly a good opportunity to exchange feelings, talk well, and chat with the brothers.

It's just that the occasion of this exchange greatly surprised the brothers.

——Neither the Xuanmu Hall of Weiyang Palace, where Liu Sheng lives now, nor the Shanglinyuan hunting ground where Liu Sheng, as the Son of Heaven, should have taken his brothers out to play according to the custom.

Liu Sheng set the occasion of this meeting directly in the imperial palace, which was banned indefinitely with the death of the Son of Heaven······

·

"Kings, how long will it be until they arrive?"

In the north of Chang'an City, the Taigong Jiaguan is a view.

Compared with the Weiyang Palace Xuanshu Palace, which is both strange and familiar, and at the same time allows Liu Sheng to feel the Son of Heaven all the time - the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace, which feels the existence of Emperor Xiaojing of Daxing, Liu Sheng is undoubtedly more accustomed to staying in this palace.

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, what Liu Sheng really feels comfortable with is actually the Xuande Hall where he has lived with his mother Empress Dowager Jia and brother Liu Pengzu since he was a child.

But time flies, things are people;

The former Gongzi Sheng, who has experienced the transformation from Gongzi Sheng to Prince Sheng, has now become the Son of Heaven Sheng;

The former Mrs. Jia has also experienced the change of identity from Mrs. Jia to Queen Jia, and now she has moved to the East Palace as the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty.

To put it simply: now that he has become the Son of Heaven and has become the co-owner of the entire Weiyang Palace and even the entire Han Dynasty, if Liu Shengzhen leads a few brothers to his 'harem', if this is spread out, there may be some kind of foul language to be spread.

After all, something like this has never happened before.

According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Xiaohui, Zhu Lu's relatives, mainly Lu Lu, Lu Tai and other core figures, once relied on their own identities to enter and leave the palace without scruples.

As a result, eight years after the death of Emperor Xiaohui, and after the death of Empress Dowager Lu, the seven numbers of Emperor Xiaohui were all in the mouths of Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and other 'loyal ministers', and became 'non-Hui Emperor's'.

Returning to the Imperial Palace, Xia Que obviously also had some feelings, although like Liu Sheng, he did not move away from the Imperial Palace for a long time, but it was the same as Liu Sheng: the change of identity made Xia Que inevitably have an illusion of being separated from the world when he saw the Imperial Palace, which had just been away for a few months······

"Your Majesty."

"The King of Linjiang and the King of Hejian are already dressed neatly, as if they want to wait for King Lu to go out first, and then follow him."

"King Lu, King Jiangdu, King Jiaoxi, are all waiting for King Zhao."

"The king of Changsha seems to be planning to go out last, and so is the king of Jiaodong."

"As for King Zhao······"

Seeing that Xia Que was obviously a little 'unspeakable', Liu Sheng didn't say anything, but only waved his hand.

"Go, hurry."

"As a younger brother, how can there be a reason for the elder brothers to wait?"

"I, who am my younger brother, have been waiting in this womb for a long time."

It seemed to be without anger or anger, but it was so calm that it was a frightening indifferent tone, which only caused Xia Que to bow down and trot towards the outside of the temple gate.

And in Jiaguan, looking at Xia Que's back as he walked away quickly, Liu Sheng's attention still couldn't be taken away from the bamboo slip in his hand and Xia Que's words.

- Just now, Xia Que's seemingly ordinary sentences are actually very interesting.

said that Liu Rong, the king of Linjiang, and Liu De, the king of Hejian, as the eldest and second sons of the emperor, especially the same mother, said that it was in front of Liu Sheng, and Liu Sheng, who was the son of heaven, had to politely say a few words such as 'No matter how you say I'm also a younger brother'.

The result is good: the eldest son and second son of the former emperor actually waited for Liu Yu, the fourth son of King Lu?

Perhaps for ordinary people, the actions of brothers Liu Rong and Liu De do not have much intriguing deep intentions.

But for Liu Sheng, the thoughts of the two brothers can be said to be unobstructed······

"Big brother is telling me: This 'big brother' position, big brother doesn't sit ······"

"As for the second brother, it's still the same as usual, and he obeys the eldest brother's orders······"

Continue to think about it, Liu Yu, the king of Lu, who was waiting for the eldest Linjiang king Liu Rong and the second Hejian king Liu De, also brought two younger brothers - Liu Fei, the king of Wujiang, and Liu Duan, the king of Jiaoxi, and waited for the seventh: Liu Pengzu, the king of Zhao.

What do you mean?

Does it mean that the position of this 'big brother' is not sitting in the fourth Liu Yu?

This is not the case.

was messed up by Liu Rong's 'I wait for the fourth brother', and Liu Yu, the king of Lu, was undoubtedly roasted on a charcoal rack.

But if Liu Yu dares to really go out first and arrive at the palace first, then Liu Yu will not want to take off the title of 'the head of the sons of the emperor' in his life.

The head of the sons of the first emperor, is it good?

Hey!

It sounds really good!

If it doesn't sound good, the 'heads of the sons of the previous emperors' of the past dynasties will not all be the contemporary monarchs themselves.

Moreover, it is the current Han family, although after the pacification of the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, the military suppression of the reduction of the feudal domain was basically completed, but as the former emperor Liu Qi said before his death: The Han family cut the feudal domain, and the pacification of the rebellion of Wu and Chu was only the beginning.

In order to take out the shortcomings of the princes and vassal kings in a real sense and threaten the central government of Chang'an, the follow-up package of measures still needs Liu Sheng, and even Liu Sheng's sons and grandsons to persevere.

At the same time, even if the mighty rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu was successfully quelled by the Chang'an court in just three months, it was theoretically impossible for any clan princes to raise troops in Kwantung, and the Chang'an central government was always ready to deal with any rebellion of clan princes at any time.

In this way, the problem is simple.

- The head of the sons of the former emperor, put it now, it is a good big brother of the brothers, but if there is a storm in Kanto in the future, then the hat of the 'head of the sons of the former emperor' will instantly become the 'head of the rebel kings'.

Therefore, Liu Yu didn't even think about this hot potato that Liu Rong threw over, so he threw it directly to Liu Pengzu, the king of Zhao.

The elder brother of the first mother made a decision, and the position of Liu Fei and Liu Duan, who are younger brothers, is naturally the same as that of the second Liu De: what to say as an elder brother, we will do what we do as younger brothers.

As for Liu Fa, the king of Changsha, who has no sense of existence and is basically equivalent to being sealed to the 'wild land', and Liu Yu, the youngest of the ten brothers, Liu Yu, the youngest of the ten brothers, was lucky not to be involved in this open gun and hidden arrow.

It's just Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu······

"I'm this brother~"

"Hey;"

"I don't know who I am nesting in the palace again, and I am calculating······"

Sneering and shaking his head, Liu Sheng finally withdrew his gaze from outside the palace gate;

Lowering his head slightly, he saw that the scroll in his hand had obviously just been copied not long ago, and the scroll with the words 'embroidered clothes directed' was mentioned, Liu Sheng's face was sarcastic, but it was even more visible to the naked eye.

As Zhou Ren said earlier: Xiuyiwei, a monster written as a secret guard organization and read as an intelligence department, has controlled the movements of every Kwantung prince in his hands in the past few decades.

- Including Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue!

It's just that compared to the outrageous specifications of the Kwantung clan princes, 'what to eat, what to drink, who to sleep with, x how many times', Xiuyiwei's surveillance of Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, was limited to a bulletin sent back every few months.

The content is also mostly cliché, such as 'Zhao Tuo calls himself me again~'' 'Out of the palace and sits in the Yellow House again~' 'South Vietnamese officials call Zhao Tuo His Majesty~' and so on.

In the past few years, especially in the past two or three years when the former emperor Liu Qi gradually lost his support and was seriously ill and bedridden, the embroidered guards have carried out a staggering close monitoring of Liu Sheng's brothers.

It was such a monitoring that allowed Liu Sheng to see the unknown side of his brothers and even unlikely to remain in the annals of history······

"The king of Linjiang is a good bird and bird, and he does not dare to collect and spend a lot of money, so he makes the palace people secretly set up a hemp net, use rice and grain as bait, catch birds and birds and tease day and night;"

"If you don't hear the song of birds and birds for a day, you will be sluggish, and you will have no desire to sleep and eat······"

——The boss Liu Rong discovered the joy of playing with birds more than 1,000 years in advance, and it has developed to the extent that he can't eat or sleep if he can't hear the birds.

···

"The king of Hejian is good at writing, and he does not dare to collect it wantonly, so he asks for books with private treasury money, and all the good books obtained from the people must be written and returned, and the true copy is kept, and gold, silver and jade silk are rewarded, so as to recruit the book of the Quartet;"

"Since there are old books, more of them play the king of the river, so they get a lot of books, which can be compared with the collection of books in Chang'an Shiqu Pavilion; The books obtained are all ancient texts and old Qin books······"

- The second Liu De is a serious person, and he has played the business of collecting books;

Just getting books, it is not enough to send back a hand-copied scroll, but in the past few years, the number of books has been collected enough to be comparable to the Shiqu Pavilion of Weiyang Palace, that is, the official collection of the Han Dynasty······

Liu Sheng didn't know what to say, but felt that something strange was in his heart.

···

"King Lu has a good reputation, raises dogs and horses, and wantonly expropriates labor and spending, and Uncle Tian returns to Beijing and the latter is even worse."

"In the ninth year of Emperor Xiaojing, King Lu ordered the expansion of the palace, broke the house of Kongqiu, chiseled its outer wall and heard the music of the chime and qin, which was "Analects", "Shangshu", "Book of Rites" and "Book of Filial Piety", all of which are ancient texts, and it is said: Ancient scriptures ······"

- Liu Yu, the fourth oldest, is even more heavyweight!

With the ancient literature and books in hand, he was stunned to awaken the memories of Liu Sheng's previous life that had been sleeping for many years!

An eternal scam like Guwen Shangshu, Liu Sheng could never forget it.

But in any case, Liu Sheng never thought that the big asshole who single-handedly orchestrated this good show was actually his fourth brother Liu Yu, who had been playing since he was a child······

···

"The king of Jiangdu is very strong, he governs the palace and the palace, recruits heroes from all over the world, and is very arrogant."

"Every time there is drunk, the king sighs and says left and right: I only hate to be born in the emperor's family, and I can't carry a sword to the north to conquer ······"

- Liu Fei is normal.

Considering Liu Fei's personality from childhood to adulthood, Liu Fei's current life status is completely normal and can no longer be normal.

At least compared to the brothers, Liu Fei, who only knows how to dance knives and guns, and occasionally cos, is too normal for Liu Fei, who has been addicted to generals······

···

"The king of Changsha weeps day and night and misses his mother, pure and filial;"

"Emperor Xiaojing entered the dynasty in seven years, and he obtained the middle soil from the north of Chang'an, brought back to Changsha, and set up a platform for the mother."

"Knowing the collapse of Emperor Xiaojing, the king of Changsha couldn't help himself, and the palace people said 'the queen mother is coming', and the crying gradually stopped······"

- Liu Fa is still that little transparent;

It's just that compared with the past, today's Liu Fa seems to have more of a dutiful character.

Liu Sheng was noncommittal.

As a 'person of the same kind', Liu Sheng also supports Liu Fa to have such a new character.

Especially if it's so normal, it won't make people stunned······

···

"Since the Queen Mother went to Handan, King Zhao has not returned to the treacherous nature of the past, and the Minister of State Bo Rongnu has also been submissive to the king, and there has been no second word."

"At the end of the eighth year of Emperor Xiaojing, the king made his cronies secretly go out of Handan and go north to replace the land, and I don't know where to go."

"In the spring of the ninth year of Emperor Xiaojing, Lieutenant Zhao played: Zhao Wuku has 3,000 bows, 1,000 ge, and spears that have been in disrepair for a thousand years, please burn them and destroy them."

"Xia, Zhao Neishi secretly reported to King Zhao: The big thing has been accomplished, and he will get 26,000 ······ gold"

- Liu Pengzu, the king of Zhao, really did not disappoint the world, and relied on his own ingenuity to directly become an arms dealer.

In the business of pouring arms, as a clan relative, especially Liu Pengzu, who is still the king of the border, actually has the courage to be contaminated, and Liu Sheng can only say the word 'admiration'······

···

"Jiaoxi King ······"

Seeing that in the end, only the 'glorious deeds' of Liu Duan, the king of the old eight Jiaoxi, and Liu Yu, the king of Xiaoshi Jiaodong, were left, Liu Sheng was stunned, and the bamboo slips were 'snapped' together.

Xiao Shi Liu Yu, Liu Sheng is not worried, he has also seen the bamboo slips before, and he has not found anything abnormal about the content of this Jiaodong King.

And the starling Liu Duan's 'glorious deeds', Liu Shengzong prides himself on being well-informed, and he really doesn't want to take a second look······

"Alas~"

"Just a younger brother, it's the most worry-free;"

"Eight brothers, I'm stunned to play with me······"

muttering sarcastically, Liu Sheng only raised his hand tiredly, and rubbed his forehead helplessly.

For the virtue of his brothers, Liu Sheng can be said to be unexpected, but after thinking about it, most of them are barely acceptable.

- Playing with birds, making a strong sound, dancing with knives and guns, and being a big filial son, Liu Sheng can accept it calmly.

But a few others went overboard······

"Your Majesty······"

"King Zhao arrived first······"

While thinking about it, Xia Que's short voice with a slight gasp came into his ears, and finally pulled Liu Sheng back from his contemplation.

When he reacted, he saw Liu Sheng take a deep breath, and it took a lot of strength and determination to pretend to be a stiff smile that could barely be seen.

"Let King Zhao wait in the side hall first."

"Send more people to urge King Linjiang."

"That's true;"

"Between brothers and sisters, they were even polite to ······"
