I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 27 The heart of playing tactics is dirty!

"Whoo~"

"It's all 'playing tactics'..."

Walking out of Guangming Hall with a gloomy expression, and walking aimlessly on Hao Street outside the north palace wall of Weiyang Palace, Liu Sheng's heart was wrapped in layers of thick ice.

——Does Liu Sheng want the position of crown prince and crown prince?

To be honest, no one, especially a Chinese man, can keep calm in front of the words 'Nine Five Supreme'.

Once upon a time, Liu Shengzi also thought about whether to fight for the position of the crown prince who is said to be "beautiful in forest".

But as he got older and his understanding of this era became deeper, Liu Sheng quickly dismissed this naive idea.

Because in this era, the first thing a crown prince needs to possess is not ability or a city, but birth.

To put it bluntly, in this day and age, as long as your mother is a queen and you are the first son born to the queen, then from the moment you are born, you are an unshakeable prince!

This means that the son is more valuable than the mother;

Or, if your mother is not a queen, but it happens that the queen failed to give birth to a son, and you happen to be the oldest son among the sons of your emperor's father, then you can also become a prince, and use this to let your mother become queen.

This is because the mother is more expensive than the child.

To put it more bluntly, the phrase "If there is a descendant, there will be a descendant, and if there is no descendant, there will be an elder", which means that in this era, from princes and generals to ordinary people, the eldest son inheritance system is strictly observed from generation to generation.

And Liu Sheng's status as a concubine and the ninth eldest among the princes had already made Liu Sheng lose the qualification to compete for the crown prince before he was born.

As far as the current situation is concerned, there is only one possibility for Liu Sheng to become the crown prince.

——The eight elder brothers in front of Liu Sheng all died of "natural death" without exception, and Liu Sheng took the place, becoming the eldest son among the surviving sons of Emperor Liu Qi;

In addition, the queen has no children, and Liu Qi has no eldest son, so Liu Sheng can sit on the throne of the crown prince as the eldest son according to the rule of "no eldest son".

After realizing this, Liu Sheng never thought of what he shouldn't have, but instead focused all his attention on his mother: Mrs. Jia.

As for his own future, Liu Sheng has already figured it out.

Since you can't escape the fate of being a king and a vassal, and you will be the emperor of the country all your life, it is better to stay in the palace honestly, and when you are old, you will be a king and a vassal.

As for the mother, when the emperor's father passed away, she would be sent to her elder brother Liu Pengzu, and she would visit her from time to time to show her filial piety;

It's just like this for the rest of my life.

Liu Sheng has never cared about the court, or the officials, officials, and meritorious officials inside and outside the court, and he never dared to care;
What I'm afraid of is that extra problems will cause myself to get into some unnecessary troubles, which will implicate my brother Liu Pengzu and my mother, Mrs. Jia.

But what Liu Sheng never expected was that even though he was so cautious and "clean and clean", Liu Sheng still couldn't escape the trick of fate.

In the beginning, it was just Mrs. Jia traveling with the emperor Liu Qi, and met a wild boar on the way;
Liu Sheng was annoyed by Zhonglang General Zhidu's inaction and his contempt for his mother's words, so he punched Zhidu willfully.

After going through the ban in Changle Palace and forcing his father Liu Qi to punish Zhidu, Liu Sheng at that time thought that this should be the end of the matter;

Unexpectedly, the emperor Liu Qi touched his lips, and let Liu Sheng worship the prime minister Shen Tujia as his teacher!
There happened to be a Li Ji who gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor and took the position of "quasi-queen" but was extremely narrow-minded, so she was very dissatisfied with Liu Sheng, mother and son!
In order to clear up the misunderstanding, Liu Sheng had no choice but to find his teacher Shen Tujia;
Unexpectedly, Chinese doctor Yuan Ang came to the door one step earlier than Liu Sheng, and while forming a temporary political alliance with Shentu Jia, he involved the innocent Liu Sheng in the bottomless vortex of the "policy of reducing feudal vassals"... ···
"I'm afraid even Father~"

"The reason why I went to worship the prime minister as a teacher is also for this day, right?"

"I want to use my 'variable' to find out the tone of the emperor's grandmother..."

"Ah······"

Shaking his head with a sneer, Liu Sheng lifted his head full of bitterness, and looked at the intersection of Hao Street and Zhangtai Street in front of him.

Opposite Zhangtai Street is the West Palace Gate of Changle Palace. As long as Liu Sheng walks [-] steps forward, he can easily enter Changle Palace with the palace card bestowed by his grandmother, Empress Dowager Dou.

On Liu Sheng's right hand side is the arsenal;
After passing the arsenal and walking a hundred or so steps, you can arrive at the old Anhou mansion and Shangguanli where all the Gonghou mansions are located.

At this moment, the intersection in front of me does not seem to be the intersection of Hao Street and Zhangtai Street, but the intersection of the fate of Liu Sheng, Mrs. Jia, mother and son;

As long as there is one wrong step, the mother and child may fall into the endless abyss...
"Whoo~"

With a gloomy complexion, he exhaled a turbid breath, and on Liu Sheng's tangled face, there was finally a touch of determination.

"The sweet potato in "Strategy to Cut Fans" is still too hot for the prince..."

"When Li Ji is already dissatisfied, the hat of 'interfering in state affairs' must not be worn on her head!"

"If you don't intervene in this matter, you may lose the help of the prime minister;"

"But if you intervene, the situation will get worse..."

Thinking like this, Liu Sheng finally took a step, with a decision in his heart;

Liu Sheng is going to Changle Palace.

It's just that Liu Sheng went to Changle Palace not to win the support of Queen Mother Dou for Shen Tujia and Yuan Ang, so as to prevent Chao Cuo's "Strategy to Cut Fans".

As a prince, especially a prince who has absolutely no chance of competing for the reserve position, Liu Sheng will never allow himself to be used as a gunman in such a muddle!
My own future has been determined, but it is just a matter of where to be king and how much land I have;

The only thing Liu Sheng cares about now is his mother, Mrs. Jia, who lived in the imperial confinement during the period from the time when he became the king and became a vassal until the emperor Liu Qi passed away.

Indeed, it seems that Liu Sheng really needs to help the teacher Shen Tujia's plight.

But the current situation cannot be changed by Liu Sheng going to Changle Palace and saying a few words in Empress Dowager Dou's ear...
"When we first met, teacher, you already knew what kind of person I am."

"—For me, Jiangshan, Sheji, and even my father are insignificant!"

"The only thing I care about is my mother..."

Thinking like this, Liu Sheng no longer had any worries in his heart, and walked across Zhangtai Street with firm steps, and came to the gate of the West Palace of Changle Palace.

Fortunately: Shen Tujia's help is not Liu Sheng's only choice;

Liu Sheng, and a grandmother who loves him so much, is the queen mother of this big man...
