I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 72

"His Majesty."

Around noon the next day, Liang Wang Liu Wu, who woke up from a hangover, appeared in the main hall of the Xuanshi of Weiyang Palace as agreed;
He greeted in a peaceful tone, but only provoked the emperor Liu Qi to stand up with a smile, took Liu Wu's arm, and walked towards the outside of the hall.

Walking on the palace road between Xuanshi, Greenhouse, and Qingliang Hall, the face of Liang Wang Liu Wu couldn't help showing a little thoughtful color;

After a long time, when Liu Qi took the lead to stop in front of a guardrail, Liu Wu came forward with a little hesitation, and bowed to Liu Qi slightly.

"Your brother entered the city yesterday, His Majesty went out of the city for twenty miles to welcome you without hesitating your status as the Son of Heaven. Apart from being terrified, you can only burst into tears of gratitude;"

"But Your Majesty shouldn't let your younger brother ride on the imperial chariot, let alone take the risk of falling into the chariot, and personally serve your younger brother on the imperial chariot~"

"Brother, what virtue and ability..."

"Eh~"

Before Liu Wu finished speaking, he saw Liu Qiman let out a sigh, smiled lightly, stepped forward, pulled Liu Wu's hand between his own, and patted it lightly.

"Don't talk about this between us brothers;"

"What kind of imperial chariot, what kind of emperor, monarch and ministers, they are all false."

"Only the friendship between you and my brother is real."

"But······"

"That `s a deal."

Just as Liu Wu was about to refute, Liu Qi interrupted immediately, squeezed Liu Wu's hand lightly again, and then gave Liu Wu a sly look that only the two brothers could understand.

"Don't tell the queen mother what happened yesterday."

"It's enough for the two of us brothers to know in our hearts, huh?"

Hearing this, Liu Wu's first reaction was to speak;
But when he saw Liu Qi looking at him and the undisguised intimacy in his tone of voice, the last sliver of reason in Liu Wu's heart was eventually replaced by a tacit understanding that belonged exclusively to the two brothers.

"Brother, I understand..."

Feeling the ups and downs of Liu Wu's emotions and gradually relaxing, Liu Qi finally nodded with a smile;

Turning around, he looked at the numerous palaces in Weiyang Palace full of sighs and feelings, and the eyes of the emperor Liu Qi finally stopped at the north of Xuanshi Hall.

"Do you still remember that place?"

While speaking, Liu Qi slightly raised his hand and pointed at the Jiaofang Hall not far away, but it also made Liu Wu's face tense.

"I remember."

"Back then, my eldest brother had a dispute with Prince Wu outside the Jiaofang Hall..."

After euphemistically giving a reply, Liu Wu's complexion became constricted again, without uttering a word, Liu Wu never forgot to carefully observe Liu Qi's complexion change, for fear of offending the emperor's elder brother;

However, Liu Qi didn't seem to notice the change in Liu Wu's expression, he only let out another sigh leisurely, and a wry smile full of self-deprecation hung on the corner of his mouth.

"Over the years, I've always been very jealous of people bringing up this matter;"

"But in private, I also often reflect on my mistakes."

"——What I did back then was a bit too ridiculous."

"Even if I was only a teenager at the time, I was still the crown prince;"

"Just for a game of chess, he picked up the chessboard and smashed the Prince of Wu to death. He really failed his father's expectations..."

Hearing the self-blame in Liu Qi's tone, the worry on Liu Wu's face disappeared;
Hardly thinking about it, he hurried forward and walked to Liu Qi's side.

"If you want me to say, you don't have to blame yourself too much."

"——The thing that happened back then was clearly that the Crown Prince of Wu was too arrogant, not to mention that he played badly at chess, and he still couldn't afford to lose!"

"It's just the dirty words he scolded Big Brother, even if Big Brother doesn't kill him, Brother will definitely draw his sword and pick him!"

But seeing Liu Qi hearing the words, there was still a wry smile full of guilt on his face, and only a little deep in his eyes, there was an imperceptible peace of mind.

Shaking his head and smiling wryly for a moment, Liu Qi finally turned sideways and looked around without a trace;
After making sure that there were no guards or palace people around who were too close, and Liu Wu also saw his "confirming the surroundings" action, Liu Qicai smiled and bowed down, putting his head against Liu Wu's ear.

"I did something wrong that year;"

"But this incident is enough to show that those clan vassals in the Kanto, and you and my brothers have never been of one mind!"

"It's not a family after all;"

"No matter how soft I am, no matter how much I give in, I can't cover their hearts that are colder than ice..."

Seeing Liu Qi say these words with a sad face, Liu Wu's brows were filled with only a touch of deep approval.

After a while, when Liu Qi pointed out the root cause of this situation, Liu Wu's face was full of approval.

"I think back then, when Emperor Xiaohui died of heirs, the relatives of Lu took advantage of the death of Empress Dowager Lu, and took advantage of the opportunity to seize the country;"

"Fortunately, the Minister of Public Affairs is still loyal to Emperor Taizu Gao, so he didn't let Mrs. Lu sit on the throne of my Han family."

"However, the princes and ministers punished all Lu, and Qi Ai Wang Liu Xiang made great efforts."

"—After the rebellion was put down, King Ai was not able to join the great unification. On the contrary, the father was welcomed by all the officials and ministers. King Qi's family still holds a grudge against our family."

"The King Qi family is like this, and most of the other families are not very convinced that the father will succeed the emperor."

After a few words, Liu Qi's face became a little serious, and he looked at Liu Wu with a deep solemnity.

"In addition, back then, I was confused for a moment, so I didn't know how to kill Prince Wu;"

"—And that old thief, King Wu, used this incident to claim illness, and never made a pilgrimage to Chang'an again!"

"Because of wrongdoing, the first emperor did not criticize King Wu too harshly. Instead, he gave King Wu a dove stick, and issued an edict to pardon King Wu so that he could not go to Chang'an."

"So far, King Wu Liu Bi has not come to Chang'an to meet the emperor for more than ten years..."

When it came to the end, Liu Qi's expression of mourning had long since disappeared, replaced by a frightening gloomyness.

"The third child should know what it means for Liu Bi not to go to Chang'an..."

Listening to Liu Qi's words, Liu Wu only nodded thoughtfully;

Seeing the gloomy expression on Liu Qi's face, Liu Wu empathized even more, and put on an indignant expression.

"Brother, don't worry."

"Brother has already heard about the "Strategy to Cut Fans"!"

"As long as the eldest brother gives an order, let alone the [-] elite soldiers of the Liang Kingdom, even the younger brother will definitely take the lead and cut off the head of old Liu Bi for the eldest brother!"

Liu Wu's unequivocal statement made Liu Qi's complexion immediately warm up, and he nodded with a gratified smile.

But after hearing the words "Strategy to Cut Fans", Liu Qi's face froze for a while, and then he pretended to shake his head casually and smiled, and turned his head to the side again.

"The third child has just arrived in Chang'an, so he is not in a hurry to talk about this;"

"In recent days, the third child will spend time with his mother, and then have a good time in Chang'an."

"As for King Wu..."

"Hey!"

"The two of us, brothers, have a lot of opportunities to talk in detail."

　I ask all the great fathers to follow up and support.
