At Liu Sheng's insistence, the first person to arrive at the Taigong was the real 'big brother' of the brothers: Liu Rong, the king of Linjiang.

Liu Rong took Liu De out of the door, and the other brothers and brothers had no worries, and soon gathered in the Taigong Jiaguan.

For the location chosen by Liu Sheng, the brothers were thinking about it, but they didn't show it at all, but they only showed an expression like 'things have changed', as if they were reminiscing about the past time.

And after the brothers sat down, Liu Shengzi also smiled with a little hypocrisy, and started a family routine with the brothers.

"How did you hear that the eldest brother has recently fallen in love with birds?"

"It is said that the Linjiang Palace is full of kings, and the birds and birds are chirping day and night, which is better than a paradise?"

The monarch and the minister saw the ceremony, and then the guest of honor sat down, and when he heard Liu Sheng ask about it, Liu Rong only panicked!

In such a short period of time, Liu Rong recalled all the things he had done in the past few years!

Sure that he didn't do anything taboo, and he also had some confidence in Liu Sheng's mind, Liu Rong finally forced himself to calm down.

Just didn't wait for an answer, he saw Liu Sheng at the top smiled easily, and then said: "If you like birds, can Big Brother send someone to ask for it?" ”

"Why bother to make a fuss in the palace and degrade the dignity of the princes of the clan?"

"Besides, using mulberry hemp as a net and rice grain as bait is ultimately contrary to the simple style advocated by Emperor Taizong and Emperor Xianxiaojing."

"After all, he is the eldest son of the emperor, the eldest brother, and he still has to be a good example for my brothers······"

"Huh?"

When he said this, Liu Sheng had a gentle smile on his face.

But for some reason, this gentle smile, which is obviously full of 'sincerity', is so mad in the eyes of the brothers······

"Minister, follow His Majesty's teachings······"

"—and the second brother."

Before Liu Rong's words fell, he saw Liu Sheng turn the spearhead again, still with that heart-warming gentle smile, and looked at Liu De, the king of the river, who was sitting beside Liu Rong.

"Said that the second brother wanted to collect allusion books, so he asked for books, and they were all hands-on?"

"It is said that the footprints of the second brother seeking books are all over the hometowns of Lu, Yan, Zhao, and Wei, so it is said that the second brother has traveled all over the Kanto region in order to seek books, which is not an exaggeration."

"It's just that I don't know that in the future, if there is a theory of things in the court, it is said that the second brother does not follow the rules set by Emperor Taizu Gao, and wantonly enters and exits his own feudal country······"

"Hi~"

"Second brother, this is to make me a younger brother, it is difficult to do it in front of outsiders······"

As soon as Liu Sheng said this, everyone present, including Liu Rong, the king of Linjiang, was shocked, and when they looked at Liu De, they were suddenly full of horror!

- Emperor Taizu Gao: All the princes who have been feuded, whether they are clan princes or princes with different surnames, are not allowed to take half a step out of the feudal country unless they get the permission of the Son of Heaven!

Violators, sit and rebel!

In the past few years, the brothers have heard of the second Liu De begging for books and buying books everywhere;

It's just that in any case, the brothers didn't expect it, or they didn't dare to think that Liu De actually stepped on the red line related to his life in order to ask for a book······

"Your Majesty is angry!"

"The king of Hejian is young and ignorant, and he makes mistakes when he does things, and he is the minister who is the elder brother and does not teach him well!"

"Please Your Majesty, for the sake of brotherhood, the king of the river, from the light ······"

After Liu Sheng 'read out' Liu De's incriminating evidence, Liu Rong jumped out almost without thinking, and knelt on the ground with determination!

Are you kidding!

There is no need to say anything else, just Liu Sheng's words, but if you say it in another place, Liu De is not enough to die even if he has nine lives!

Since Liu Sheng chose to be here, in this 'private' in front of his brothers, it shows that Liu Sheng does not intend to use this to make his second brother Liu De 'innocent'.

But before he could finish his pleading, Liu Rong wilted like a withered flower under Liu Sheng's smiling but cold gaze······

"Second brother, I got married very early."

"Today's crown prince, even in front of today's queen, can completely say that his age is not much different from the queen."

"The eldest brother said that the second brother was 'young and ignorant', which is a bit of an exaggeration······"

···

"In terms of age, the second brother is five or six years older than me, who is the younger brother;"

"If you don't know anything, right? It doesn't make sense - the second brother has read the books of sages and sages, and follows the way of Lu Ru's etiquette, and it is impossible not to understand the weight of the word 'rules'. ”

"I have been crowned an adult, and I have read the books of sages, but I still rebelled against the ancestral system of my Han family and did such a shocking thing in the world······"

"This, how is it good to call me a younger brother·········

Speaking of this, the smile on Liu Sheng's face finally gradually dissipated, and was replaced by an undisguised anger.

And within the Taigong Jiaguan, with the gloomy face of the Son of Heaven, he fell into a long silence.

In the past few years, the brothers present really didn't do a few things to make the Chang'an court and the first emperor Liu Qi worry-free;

If it is said that the dragon gives birth to nine sons, each of which is different, then these brothers are a group of demons dancing wildly, and they rely on their ability.

Earlier, in their respective feudal countries, the brothers had not thought of this;

Even if they realized that what they were doing seemed to be a little 'deviant', the brothers all looked at the other brothers, and continued to cause trouble with peace of mind.

- The law does not blame the public!

If only the widow is deviant, it is indeed bad;

But the big guys are big brothers, don't laugh at the second brother, I'm still afraid of an egg?

With this thought, the brothers are going farther and farther on the road of 'death'.

It wasn't until today, in front of his younger brother Liu Sheng, that Liu Sheng ripped off the fig leaf without any scruples, and was played in front of all the brothers, and the brothers woke up reluctantly: what kind of person has he become in the past few years······

"Your Majesty······"

"Your Majesty·········"

Seeing that the brother of a mother's compatriot stood up for himself, but was so frightened by Liu Sheng's eyes that he buried his head deep in front of his knees, Liu De only swallowed his saliva;

Regardless of the cold sweat on his forehead, even if he changed from kneeling to kneeling, he wanted to say something, but he could only say a few words 'Majesty'.

After a long time, Liu Sheng finally kept a calm face, got up from the main seat, put his hands behind his back, and turned his body a little sideways.

"What books has the second brother gotten over the years?"

Things got to this point, Liu Dezi had already been frightened, and almost at the same time as Liu Sheng's words fell, he hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" ”

"The books obtained by ministers and ministers are quite miscellaneous, and there are also many miscellaneous sayings of hundreds of schools that cannot be put on the table, and most of them are fragments."

"It's a little better, and it can be made into a book in front of you, which is "Poems", "Zuo Chuan", "Zhou Guan", "Book of Rites" and dozens of other ······"

Hearing this, Liu Sheng sneered in his heart.

"Poems", "Zuo Chuan", "Zhou Guan", "Book of Rites" and dozens of others.

- Dozens of others!

If you take out a random book like "Poems", "Rites", and "Zuo Chuan", you can basically declare it the "only one book in the world", and Liu De has obtained "dozens" in just two or three years in the past two or three years.

Not dozens, but dozens······

"I heard that the Shang Tang King originally had a radius of seventy miles, but in the end he replaced Xia;"

"King Wen of Zhou originally only had a hundred miles of land, but in the end he replaced Shang."

"Is it because they have a large number of soldiers and a large land that they have finally been able to accomplish great things?"

"-I'm afraid not."

"King Shang Tang replaced Xia with seventy miles of land, because Xia Ji had no way, and Shang Tang obeyed the heavens and won the expectations of the world."

"King Wen of Zhou replaced Shang with a hundred miles of land, and it was also because of the tyranny of Shang and the unbearable nature of the world, so that King Wen of Zhou Xingji and Zhou Sheji enjoyed the country for more than 800 years."

···

"I have also heard that whoever conquers others by force does not really obey him, but is not strong enough to resist."

"Like the Huns, who were afraid of might but not virtuous: when they were not strong enough to resist, they submitted; When they have enough strength to resist, they will be ready to move. ”

"And the reason why I, Zhuxia, am not a barbarian like the Xiongnu, is because all the dynasties of Zhuxia did not submit to the world by force, but relied on virtue to get the recognition of the people of the world."

"It seems that the second brother also understands this truth······"

"——Now, the second brother sits on a county between the rivers, with a radius of hundreds of miles, which is much better than the king of Shang Tang and the king of Zhou Wen back then;"

"As long as you accumulate a lot of virtue and get the love of the people of the world, as long as my Han family also has a gang and a knot, you can be like King Shangtang and King Wen of Zhou, and obey the orders of the heavens and destroy the 'tyrants'."

"Or, maybe even I can't say it?"

A fluttering sentence was like a heavy hammer, smashing into Liu De's heart, making Liu De's face pale and cold sweat, but he couldn't say a word anymore.

It was Liu Rong, the king of Linjiang who was kneeling and prostrate in the center of the hall, and at this moment he had completely lost the majesty of the princes of the clan, only trembling slightly, letting the sweat tremble with the trembling of the body, and 'popping' dripping in front of him.

The soup is seventy miles, and King Wen is a hundred miles!

Just these ten words are enough to scare a vassal king to death on the spot!

- What do you want to do?!

- The Founding Monarch???

That's what those ten words translate to······

"The farmer's duty is to sow seeds in the spring, toiled in the fields all summer, and harvested in the fall."

"The duty of a merchant is to set out from his hometown in the spring, and to make a merchant all the way, so that the goods from all over the country can be circulated to other places and seek their benefits."

"The duty of the craftsman is to come to the workshop every morning and hammer and temper the utensils that can be used by man."

"The duty of an official is to maintain the stability of a place, so that the locals can live and work in peace and enjoy themselves."

···

"If a farmer wants to buy and sell something, he has to go to the market, and if he wants to make a living from it, he needs to change his agricultural registration to a business registration."

"If a craftsman wants to cultivate the land, he also needs to change his status as a craftsman to a farmer."

"Whether it is a farmer, a businessman, or a craftsman, if you want to be an official, you need to be promoted, and your identity and ability will be checked by the court."

"——This truth is what kind of person is and what kind of thing he does."

"If you want to cultivate the land, you must first be a farmer, if you want to make a profit from a businessman, you need to be a merchant first, and if you want to make a living by craft, you also need to be a craftsman first."

"And if you want to govern the people, you need to be an official first."

···

"Collecting book allusions is what the court should do;"

"Buying a lot of books with your own money is also what the Son of Heaven should do."

"If the second brother wants to do these things, he should become the emperor first."

"As long as the second brother wants to, I, as a younger brother, will definitely not dominate this throne."

The cold and indifferent tone only caused all the brothers in the hall to bow their heads in unison, but they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

- The rules of the old Liu family: If the head of the family is willing to scold, then there is still salvation.

I am willing to say that I want you to change, and I think you can change for the better.

What's really scary is the kind of person who doesn't pay attention and laughs when he talks about it······

"Sinner!"

"Obey Your Majesty's edict!

！ ”

···

"After returning to China, the minister will definitely urge the king of Hejian to send all the books collected to Chang'an, and no longer ask for books from the people."

"If the king of the river recidives, the minister, he is willing to sit on the same ······"

Liu Rong made his attitude clear: If I can't manage my brother well, I will sit with my brother;

After Liu Rong's statement, Liu De was also busy kowtowing again and again, saying that he would not commit it again.

And when the two brothers kowtowed again and again, Liu Sheng's bitter, helpless, and angry eyes fell on Liu Pengzu, the brother of a fellow mother, and Liu Duan······

"If you say more, I won't say anything."

"Except for Xiao Shi, all of you here are my brothers, and there is no reason to discipline my brother as a younger brother."

"I just hope that when the kings go back, they will think about it."

"—My brother sits on this throne, and he doesn't sit as comfortably or as he seems;"

"Please take more care of my younger brother······

···

"After returning to China, King Zhao asked the lieutenant and Neishi to come to Chang'an."

"In the future, the arsenal of Zhao State, King Zhao will stop meddling and asking."

"And King Jiaoxi, in recent years, there have always been palace people dying in the palace."

"There are different opinions inside and outside the government and the opposition, and the words are not very good."

"King Jiaoxi, pay more attention to yourself······"

Roughly and vaguely pointed at the seventh brother Liu Pengzu and the eighth brother Liu Duan, Liu Sheng took a deep breath full of exhaustion, and slowly spit it out.

After holding himself for a long time, he finally squeezed out a smile with a little sincerity in front of him and smiled slightly at everyone.

"Originally, they were brothers for a long time, but they were made like this by me, who is a younger brother, it really shouldn't be."

"Brothers, don't take it to heart, it's ······"
