Three hundred and forty-seventh chapter brothers (3)
After sending Liu Yan away, Liu Che just made some simple preparations and welcomed another brother - the seventh Linjiang King Liu Pengzu.
Liu Pengzu was only ten years old this year. Although he was already a prince, wearing a crown, wearing crimson clothes, and being guarded by bodyguards, he was still just a child after all.
There is no calculation at all.
Not to mention knowing how to trade.
However, Liu Che specially met this younger brother alone, but it was Xiang Zhuang who danced the sword!
Who told Liu Pengzu to have a wonderful mother?
His biological mother, Jia Ji, is a person who can leave her name in history and be recorded in historical records!
Although Jia Ji in the Historical Records is just the background of Tai Shigong's description of Zhidu as upright, selfless and loyal, how can a woman who can make Liu Che's always ruthless emperor father willing to take a risky stance?
Is he an idle person?
Among the few scattered memories of the original Liu De, there are some fragments of Jia Ji's glorious days.
This woman is a smart woman!
In the previous life, Liu Peng's ancestor was named the King of Runan, and after the Wu-Chu Rebellion, he was named the King of Zhao. This Jia Ji should be considered the first in this operation!
Of course, the most important thing is that Jia Ji and Cheng Ji are love rivals and mortal enemies!
Back then, it was Jia Ji who stepped in and took away the favor of Cheng Ji, who had defeated Su Ji and gained great fame.
This feud is a big one!
In this palace, Jia Ji's heirs and Cheng Ji's heirs have never had much contact with each other.
* once taught us that the essence of playing politics is to win over one faction and fight against another.
Liu Che specially met with Liu Pengzu alone, just to convey a message to Jia Ji - Gu Yu formed an alliance!
Alliance for what?
Of course she suppressed Cheng Ji!
Cheng Ji had three sons, Liu Fei, Liu Yu, and Liu Duan, while Jia Ji also had two sons, Liu Pengzu and Liu Sheng.
If Cheng Ji's son gets a better feudal state, there is no doubt that Jia Ji's son will sit on the bench.
What's more, the two of them have their own hatred. Now, the real interests plus the old and new hatreds, there is no need for instigation, the two of them will start fighting on their own.
As for why Liu Che chose to alliance with Jia Ji instead of Cheng Ji.
The reason is very simple!
Now, only Cheng Ji's third son is older, and Liu Fei poses a threat to his position as prince!
"Brother, please pay homage to your elder brother!" Liu Pengzu didn't know that Liu Che had gone through all the twists and turns in summoning him. He acted very embarrassed in front of Liu Che. After the ceremony, he even lowered his head and looked at the people who came with him to visit Liu Che seriously.
The prime minister of Linjiang State, the internal history, the Taifu and other important officials accompanied him.
"Get up, Xiao Qi!" Liu Che looked like a kind-hearted brother, helped Liu Pengzu up, and even hugged the little guy very affectionately, and asked with concern: "In Linjiang Kingdom, Xiao Qi
Suffer!"
Their expressions were full of care, love and affection. People who didn't know it would probably think that Liu Che and Liu Pengzu were very close brothers!
But, in fact, Liu Che remembered it very clearly.
The reason why Liu Pengzu was sent to Linjiang Country, Liu Che should at least remember a great contribution!
If Liu Che hadn't intervened and liberated Liu Yan from Linjiang Kingdom, Liu Pengzu would never have been reduced to Linjiang as the king!
It’s just that the world is like this. Yesterday’s enemy may be tomorrow’s friend.
In order to release his goodwill, Liu Che also spent a lot of money this time!
After he put down Liu Pengzu, he clapped his hands. Wang Dao immediately led a dozen eunuchs to come out carrying many wooden boxes.
Liu Che looked at the wooden boxes and said softly: "Xiao Qi, my brother, the prince, has nothing else to give you. Just consider these books a gift from my brother!"
A eunuch held a silk book and presented it to Liu Pengzu.
Liu Pengzu took it blankly, looked at the densely packed book titles on it, and then handed it to his tutor.
Liu Pengzu's Wang Taifu was named Zhang Sheng.
This man was a classmate of Jia Ji's eldest brother. He was a guest of Jia's family. He was later recommended as an official by Jia Ji's family and served as a county captain in a certain county. Liu Pengzu was named queen. Jia Ji specially relied on his connections to worship him as the king's tutor.
.
Therefore, this person is actually in charge of all Liu Pengzu's current government affairs and communication.
In his previous life, Liu Pengzu also became that difficult King Zhao under Zhang Sheng's earnest guidance!
Therefore, this victory can be regarded as a talent!
Liu Pengzu was young and ignorant, let alone political affairs, but how could Zhang Sheng not know this?
Looking at the dense list of books on the silk book, Zhang Sheng immediately knew that the prince was trying to win over Jia Ji's family, and he had spent a lot of money!
In today’s world, it’s hard to buy a book for a thousand dollars!
Many sages' classics were, at this time, just private collections within a small circle!
Even if you are a noble king, you may not be able to read it!
Especially those books involving political economy, even the emperor would not dare to boast that they are all available in Shiqu Pavilion!
For a prince of Liu Pengzu's age, these books are heavier than gold and more precious than fields!
The most important thing is that this revealed one of the prince's intentions - if the prince didn't think that King Linjiang was worthy of his fortune, why would he send the book?
As a Grand Tutor Wang, Zhang Sheng knew very well what he should do at this time.
He immediately took Liu Pengzu and bowed to Liu Che and said: "My family loves me so much, I would like to express my gratitude to King Linjiang!"
Liu Che smiled and hurriedly pulled him up and said: "I have loved Xiao Qi since I was a child. Xiao Qi can get the teachings of a great talent like Qing, so I feel at ease. Qing will bring these books back to teach me!"
This is a lie!
Liu Pengzu, his younger brother Liu Sheng, and Liu Che never spoke more than a hundred sentences in their two lifetimes combined!
But, who can testify?
Zhang Sheng didn't know why, and thought that the prince really had a close relationship with his king in the past, and he brought Liu Pengzu with him to express his gratitude.
Apart from anything else, if you can get the prince's attitude during this meeting, you have successfully completed your mission!
Zhang Sheng took Liu Pengzu to bid farewell to the Crown Prince and returned to Weiyang Palace. They met with Jia Ji. Naturally, Jia Ji asked about the prince's summons today.
Zhang Sheng recounted the story with joy, and then said: "Madam, I secretly believe that since the family values the king so much, there must be hope for the country to be sealed this time!"
When the kings returned to the capital, their respective kings, prime ministers and their respective relatives and families were all the Eight Immortals crossing the sea. Everyone knew that their own family's glory and wealth might be at stake here.
The opinions and tendencies of the prince presiding over this matter are naturally also very important!
Zhang Sheng's requirements are not high. As long as the king can get a better feudal state than Linjiang, then, in a few years, he, the Wang Taifu, can work a little, and he can become a Guannei Marquis or even a Chehou Marquis in the name of assisting and meritorious.
!
When a man is born into the world, he is granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, and the rest of his life is enough!
But after hearing this, Ji Ji felt as bright as a mirror!
This prince, like his father, is a cold-hearted person.
Outsiders may not know it clearly, but she, a concubine in the imperial palace, has been watching with cold eyes for the past year, but she has watched too carefully!
Apart from other things, just by mercilessly kicking Su's relatives into court, it can be seen that this prince is a master who does not recognize his relatives!
Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!
Jia Ji understood what Liu Che meant just in an instant.
She chuckled.
He calmly accepted Liu Che's invitation.
As long as it can hurt Cheng Ji, she is willing to lose money!
What's more, this matter is for the benefit of her two sons!
So, Jia Ji stood up and said to her left and right: "Come here, please change my clothes and take a bath. I will go to Shufang Hall to pay my respects to the Queen!"
It is naturally impossible for concubines in the harem to meet with the adult prince, let alone conduct transactions.
Therefore, Queen Bo became the bridge in the middle.
Moreover, after Jia Ji has been fighting with Cheng Ji for so many years, it is natural that she knows that Cheng Ji is not a fuel-efficient person at all, and she has to find some helpers, otherwise, she will really not be able to deal with Cheng Ji's pillow style! (To be continued)
