I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 38

Although he said so on the lips, in his heart, Liu Sheng still thought secretly.

It's not that after the last "experience", Liu Sheng hasn't learned a lesson yet;
It was Li Ji's move that made Liu Sheng feel inexplicably worried.

As for the reason, it was hidden in the conversation between the three brothers just now.

"Aunt, it's the mouth of the imperial grandmother..."

"Rejected my aunt, but rejected the emperor's grandmother;"

"I want my son to be the heir apparent, but offend the queen mother..."

At this moment, Liu Sheng had only one thought.

Thanks to my mother for not being so stupid!

Needless to say anything else, just one point is enough to prove how stupid Li Ji's actions are;

——The imperial edict for the canonization of the crown prince has never been the imperial edict of the emperor, but the edict of the empress dowager!

Who will be the prince, when to be the prince, and even whether someone can be the prince are all decided by the Queen Mother!

Although in actual operation, the queen mother's power is limited to: proposing candidates, communicating with the emperor, and issuing the canonization edict after obtaining the emperor's consent;

But like the emperor, the queen mother also has the power to deny a certain candidate.

For example, one day in the future, the emperor Liu Qi approached the Empress Dowager Dou and said: "Mother, the country should have an heir. I think the eldest son Liu Rong is good;

Empress Dowager Dou can shake her head without any scruples: I don't think he can do it!

Don't ask why, if there is no reason, it just won't work!

If necessary, Empress Dowager Dou can also directly refuse to issue the imperial edict, just like Shen Tujia who refuses to stamp the prime minister's seal on the edict of the emperor's vassal reduction.

To exaggerate a little more, if the emperor's son's feelings were not taken into consideration, the Empress Dowager Dou could even directly issue a distribution edict, and directly enshrine the emperor's favorite candidate for the crown prince!
That's right.

In today's Han Dynasty, not only the crown prince and queen canonization power is controlled by the queen mother, but even the canonization of clan relatives and princes as kings is also within the scope of the queen mother's authority.

Moreover, compared with the power restrictions that need to be discussed with the emperor when the crown prince and queen are appointed, the queen mother canonize the princes and kings has unquestionable autonomy.

Wherever you are told to be king, then you have to be king there, there is no discussion at all!
If the Son of Heaven dares to stand up and say something, he is forcing his mother to change the order day and night, which is unfilial!
Under such circumstances, while Li Ji was looking forward to the future and her son Liu Rong's life after becoming the prince, she offended the Queen Mother Dou who controlled her son's fate to death?

Liu Sheng can only say: Oh awesome!
Really awesome!

Is there such an operation?
"Poor brother~"

"He's quite an honest person, he was reincarnated so well, yet he ended up with such a mother..."

After three seconds of silence for his elder brother Liu Rong, Liu Sheng withdrew his mind and continued to focus on the work in hand.

Since the incident last time, Liu Sheng has completely 'laid down'.

What Li Ji is not Li Ji, the prince is not the prince, Liu Shengtong respectfully stays away.

——I can't afford to offend, but I can always hide, right?
If you have something to do, go to Shentu Jia to chat. On weekdays, you will do something you want to do in the one-acre land of Guangming Palace, and wait for the king to become a vassal;
There is simply no easier life than this.

It's just that Liu Sheng wanted to live a relaxed and comfortable life, but troubles, like maggots on the tarsus, came to him again.

"Xiao Jiu~"

"Little Nine?"

There was a faint whisper in his ear, which caused Liu Sheng to turn his head with a strange expression;

Seeing that his brothers were still in the courtyard and exchanging their views on Li Ji, Liu Sheng looked in the direction of the palace gate with some apprehension.

And when he saw the anxious face of the visitor, the relaxed look on Liu Sheng's face disappeared in an instant...

·
"Brother;"

"It's already here, why don't you go in and sit down?"

Looking in front of him, looking at his eldest son Liu Rong with embarrassment, Liu Sheng's tone of voice could not help but bring a little bluntness.

As the eldest among the princes, Liu Rong undoubtedly had a good skin;

Correct facial features, eyebrows that are thicker and darker than ordinary people, and soft eyes at that time, only make people feel comfortable all the time.

——Warm and moist as jade, that's what he's talking about.

But at this moment, Liu Rong was obviously in a panic, and his eyes were full of pleadings when he looked at Liu Sheng.

"Xiao Jiudang also knew about my aunt?"

He hesitated to say a word, and when Liu Sheng nodded his head, Liu Rong could no longer support the air of "Emperor's eldest son", and his complexion suddenly became bitter.

"I didn't want my concubine to do this, but my concubine really didn't listen to my advice!"

"As a son, I really have no other choice;"

"Right now, I'm afraid that my aunt has already gone to Changle Palace, and the emperor's grandmother should already be dissatisfied with me and my mother and concubine."

"It's just that my concubine didn't let me go to Changle Palace, I explained it clearly to the imperial grandmother..."

Seeing Liu Rong's earnest words and looking at him for help, Liu Sheng couldn't help but frown a little.

"Brother's meaning..."

"Let me go to Changle Palace on behalf of elder brother?"

"Exactly!"

As soon as Liu Sheng finished speaking, Liu Rong hurriedly nodded, but the bitterness on his face remained unchanged.

"I'm worried about this, not because of my aunt's own intentions, but because of the emperor's grandmother's intentions;"

"If you don't explain it clearly, I'm worried that the emperor's grandmother will have a misunderstanding because of this, thinking that my concubine and I will not obey the arrangement of the emperor's grandmother at all..."

Speaking with a heavy tone, Liu Rong raised his head again, that still slightly green face was full of worry.

"Among our nine brothers, if anyone is closest to the emperor's grandmother, it is undoubtedly Xiao Jiu."

"Right now, the concubine mother has made a big mistake, and she is not allowed to go to Changle for my brother;"

"Besides Xiao Jiu, Brother Wei really doesn't know who else can help Brother Wei with this..."

After saying that, Liu Rong looked at Liu Sheng again full of prayers, and seeing Liu Sheng's worried face, he simply bowed his hands to Liu Sheng.

But even so, Liu Sheng's furrowed brows showed no tendency to relax...

"Brother;"

"I don't know what is right or wrong about this matter, brother."

"But elder brother should know: if you want to go to Changle Palace to accuse the emperor's grandmother, then elder brother should go by himself."

"Brother, think about it, if I go for elder brother, if the imperial grandmother asks, what should I say?"

"If you don't tell the truth, then the imperial grandmother will definitely think that the elder brother doesn't see the imperial grandmother at all, and won't even go to confess the crime in person;"

"But if I'm telling the truth, what should I say?"

"—Big brother originally planned to go in person, but Li Ji refused?"

"If I really said that, wouldn't the imperial grandmother be even more dissatisfied with Li Ji?"

Hearing this, Liu Rong's already bitter face suddenly sank even more;
After bowing his head and contemplating for a long time, Liu Rong finally raised his head with a bitter face, and looked at the younger brother Liu Sheng in front of him.

"Xiao Jiu is right, and I also understand the truth."

"But even so, is it better than doing nothing for my brother?"

"As long as there are other ways, as a brother, I won't ask Xiao Jiu..."
