I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 42 All the princes are worse than others, Liu Rong: I have the advantage

Hearing the words of the second brother Liu De, the eldest son Liu Rong couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Liang Wang's fondness for writing Fu is indeed something well known to women and children in Chang'an and even the world;
Let the second brother Liu De, who also likes literature and Fu, approach Liang Wang, it can indeed get twice the result with half the effort, and even greatly increase the success rate.

The outside world will only think that this is the uncle and nephew who share the same goals and get together to discuss literature and fu. No one would think that Liu De, the second son of the emperor, is helping the elder brother Liu Rong to manage his power.

As for the youngest Liu Yan, there is no need to say more.

——In the past ten years, or in other words, since the age of remembering things, Liu Yan, the third child, has been reminded by Liu Rong, and has always maintained the personality of a "social phobic patient"!

For such a 'transparent person' who has no sense of existence, no matter what appalling things Liu Yan does, it is likely that he will not be able to attract too many people's attention;
Even if someone noticed it, they would only think that the third son of the emperor had been neglected for too long, so he insisted on doing something deviant to attract the attention of others.

In this way, letting Liu De, the second child, fight for the King of Liang, and Liu Yan, the third child, approach Yuan Ang, is indeed the safest plan.

As for the ninth younger brother Liu Sheng, Liu Rong also has full confidence that he can win this half-brother into his camp.

Just one sentence: If you, Liu Sheng, want to prove your innocence, you must help me, Liu Rong, secure my position!

And after winning the support of Liu Wu, the king of Liang, Liu Sheng, the ninth younger brother, and Yuan Ang, the old Chinese doctor, even if Li Ji did some stupid things, Liu Rong can basically guarantee that there will be no more troubles between himself and the Queen Mother Dou of the Eastern Palace. Too obvious cracks.

But at this moment, what Liu Rong is worried about is not all about the Queen Mother Dou of the Eastern Palace...
"King Liang and Yuan An will leave it to you two;"

"As for Xiao Jiu, I'll go in person."

He nodded with a gloomy expression, expressing that he agreed with Liu De's proposal, while Liu Rong's gloomy expression showed no signs of easing up.

"In this way, the East Palace will be temporarily worry-free."

"But the father's side, it's not so easy to handle..."

Full of sorrow, Liu Rong let out a long sigh, and Liu Rong shook his head to himself, and even pulled his collar a little annoyed.

When Liu De and Liu Yan who were on the side turned around together and looked at him in confusion, Liu Rong finally looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh.

"Just now, my mother said: Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizong Xiaowen both had the idea of ​​establishing a separate family, but they didn't dare to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones;"

"So from my mother's point of view, no matter what my mother does, my father will never dare to abandon the elders and make the younger ones."

"But mother, she ignored a very important thing."

"—Emperor Xiaohui, the eldest son;"

"—Father, is also the eldest son."

"As for the elder brother, he is just a concubine..."

As he said melancholy, a bitterness suddenly appeared on Liu Rong's brow.

"Since Emperor Xiaohui was born, he was the eldest son of Emperor Taizu Gao. He was established as the Crown Prince of Han Dynasty at the age of six, and the Crown Prince at the age of eight. With the backing of the Empress Dowager Lu, the princes of the Manchu Dynasty competed for loyalty;"

"Emperor Ji, who was less than ten years old, was made the crown prince by the former Emperor Xiaowen, and the emperor's grandmother was also made the queen at the same time."

"But now, the mother is not the queen, and the brother is not the prince."

"Even if the queen mother has not been able to give birth to the eldest son so far, once the emperor appoints Cheng Ji or Jia Ji as the queen in the future, the son born to the queen will immediately become the first son;"

"At that time, even if Brother Wei is the eldest son of the emperor, he will be just another Qi Mourning King Hui..."

After saying that, Liu Rong let out another long sigh, and could no longer hold on to the airs of the eldest son of the emperor, swaying and slumped on the upper seat.

This, in Liu Rong's eyes, was the most serious mistake made by his mother, Li Ji.

——Li Ji, not the queen!

At least not yet!
Under such circumstances, the first thing Li Ji should consider is how to steadily sit on the position of queen, so that Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor, can become Liu Rong, the eldest son of the first line!

The things Liu Xun did in the national treasury and internal funds, even if they are blamed, should never be now!
At the moment, Li Ji should have considered 'being in charge of the Pepper House' as the only factor, and would do everything possible to establish a good relationship with the Queen Mother of the East Palace Dou, and embrace the identity of the queen first!
It's not too late to think about the future when Liu Rong's reserve position is really safe.

But now, Li Ji's status as a mere 'madame' has stirred the hearts of the empress, and even the empress dowager;

This is like the Jian Zhengxia of later generations, who is worried about the international situation and the development of mankind all day long before his stomach is full.

In the final analysis, what Li Ji is doing right now is nothing but worrying...

Hearing the worry implied in Liu Rong's tone, the faces of Liu De and Liu Yan couldn't help but sink.

They looked at each other for a while, and finally Liu De, who was older, got up and came to Liu Rong.

"Brother's worry is indeed not unreasonable;"

"But my brother thinks that elder brother doesn't need to worry too much."

"Ok?"

The calm words caused Liu Rong to raise his head in a little surprise, but he saw his younger brother Liu De looking at him with full confidence.

"Brother, let's think about it: Emperor Gao, the great ancestor, wanted to make Zhao Wang, because he thought Liu Ruyi was like himself and smart;"

"Emperor Xiaowen wanted to establish King Huai of Liang, but he still felt that Liu Yi was like himself, with a heroic appearance."

"But now, except for the pig who is still in its infancy, there are nine of us brothers, but who is valued by the father and even considered 'like himself'?"

When he asked the question with certainty, he saw Liu De's expression was a little relaxed.

"Brother said, if the royal father makes Cheng Ji and Jia Ji queens, then the sons they give birth to will become legitimate sons;"

"But eldest brother, why don't you think about it: besides eldest brother, who else can sit on the position of crown prince?"

"—the fourth brother, Liu Yu, stutters and cannot speak;"

"Liu Fei, the fifth old man, his mind is full of fighting and killing, and he is out of control;"

"Liu Fa, the sixth son, was born too humble;"

"The old seven, Liu Pengzu, knows how to play tricks;"

"Not to mention Lao Ba, he has a bad temper and has hidden illnesses."

"Especially Xiaojiu Liu Sheng, who thinks about his mother all day long, except for the word 'filial piety', how can he bear the weight of the ancestral temple and the community?"

Without hesitation, he put on the table the reason why the younger brothers were "embarrassed and heavy responsibility", and Liu De smiled brightly again.

"So, brother, you don't have to worry about it."

"Even if one day, the father wants to establish another prince, he will find that only the elder brother can bear the burden of the ancestral temple and the community."

"It's just like the rumors inside and outside the court when Hou Zhang Cang of Beiping was dismissed and Emperor Taizong Xiaowen resisted all opinions and chose Shen Tujia, the old Marquis of An, as prime minister."

"—So Anhou Shen Tujia may not necessarily be able to bear the responsibility of the prime minister;"

"But apart from Shentu Jia, the other candidates are even more unbearable."

"Shen Tujia's appointment as prime minister is just 'perhaps incompetent';"

"But if someone else is chosen, it's 'must be incompetent'..."
