Dai Wang Liu Deng, the eldest son of Dai Wang Liu Shen, the third son of Han Wen Emperor Liu Heng; Changsha King Liu Fa, the sixth son of Han Jing Emperor Liu Qi; Zhongshan King Liu Sheng, the Han Jing Emperor Liu Qi's ninth son; Jichuan King Liu Ming, Han Wen Emperor Liu Hengci
The second son of Liu Wu, King of Ziliang.
Speaking of which, they are all the grandsons of the Empress Dowager Dou. The four grandsons came to Beijing to see their grandmother. Dou should have been the happiest. However, Dou has been depressed since the family dinner. She always likes to sigh when she is alone. He listens to Liu Che's words.
I understand, causing trouble for Xiao Qiang is not a glorious thing. He has seen many of them in the palace over the years, so he did not stop Liu Che. It’s just that he didn’t know who Liu Che was going to attack, or whether he was going to attack them all.
The four kings came from different places, and the time they arrived in Chang'an was surprisingly the same. If it was not a deliberate arrangement, I am afraid no one would believe it. Now that they have arrived, the court has to welcome them. In order to show the dignity of the four kings, the south of Chang'an, which is never opened, is
The main gate was opened for the first time today. Groups of armored guards stood in a human wall, blocking the people behind them.
Prime Minister Xuchang, as the emperor's representative, came to the city gate to greet him in person. The weather was very good, with a clear sky and a few cotton-like white clouds floating above his head. The slight northwest wind actually brought some heat, and it was not so cold when it blew on him.
Although Su Ren was Yilang, he was also an official of the imperial court. The emperor asked hundreds of officials to greet him, and he was naturally among them. Standing in the middle of the long queue, he looked back and saw that there were only a few people at the end. Only then did Su Ren understand that he
He was deceived by Liu Che. Just like when Sun Wukong went to heaven, although Bima Wen was also an official, it was a pity that he was a horse breeder.
Following the long team, they moved forward step by step. There were crowds of people in front of them, flags were waving, and even the trees in the distance could not be seen. Su Ren easily picked off a leaf, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it. Unexpectedly, he swallowed it.
Su Ren was stuck and coughed repeatedly. Then he noticed that new leaves had grown on the trees on the roadside, and spring had finally arrived.
Suddenly someone shouted: "The King of Dai, the King of Changsha, the King of Zhongshan, and the King of Jichuan are here! Welcome!"
There was a roar, and everyone knelt down to welcome him. Su Ren's movements were obviously a few beats slower, and he stood alone like a chicken, which made the people around him burst into laughter. Su Ren was very disgusted with the etiquette of kneeling down, even though he didn't meet anyone.
Everyone wanted to kneel down and worship, but it was really uncomfortable to kneel on the bare mud. I knelt down in a hurry, then got up in a hurry.
Su Ren twisted his waist and stretched his muscles. After a while, the crowd gave way. Su Ren was forced to the side of the road because he was standing on the edge. With such a squeeze, his whole body was pressed against the roadside.
It happened to a member of the Imperial Guard. The armor all over the Imperial Guard's body made Su Ren feel pain. He tried to push the person in front of him away. He tried several times, but the effect was not obvious.
A long cavalry team came over. The first team should be the guards of Dai King Liu Deng. They were all good horses from the North. The knights on the horses were also strong and strong. At a glance, they knew they were majestic men from Dai. The second team was not there.
The first team was majestic, but slightly inferior. When it came to the third team, the cavalry's condition suddenly dropped a lot, and they all wilted. They always felt like they hadn't woken up, and their necks were shrunk and exhausted, which made people feel strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Fourth
The team was even worse. It didn't look like a guard at all. It fell to the bandits. The queue was disorganized and the horses were of different heights.
Su Ren stood on tiptoe to see who those famous princes and kings were. He tried hard for a long time but failed. After the cavalry, there was a long motorcade. Judging from the flags, they should be according to their age. Liu Deng came first.
, Liu Fa, Liu Sheng, and Liu Ming lined up one by one. After the car drive, there was a motorcade pulling gifts. The cars were full, with boxes, bags, and everything you need. It was a feast for the eyes to see.
I followed the people out of the city in a daze, and then came back with the people in a daze. The lively greeting was over. Su Ren didn't have anything to do with the rest. The subordinate officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion arranged it.
Notice that Su Renyi turned around and went into the alley next to him, and then went home.
The banquet was scheduled for the afternoon three days later. The princes and kings had just arrived today, so they had to give everyone some time to rest. Walking home from the city gate, Su Ren took off the thick robes outside, but was still sweating profusely. After finally getting home,
Already exhausted and covered in mud, Leng Yue quickly fetched a basin of water and washed Su Ren.
Looking at Su Ren's appearance, he smiled sternly and said, "How's it going? For an official like Su Yilang, does he want to come forward and propose a toast to some great kings?"
Su Ren rolled his eyes and said sternly: "Yes! You haven't seen me. As soon as I said my name, those country bumpkins' eyes lit up. They rushed to have a few drinks with me, and even invited me to go to their place and give them some national relations.
Qian, I am considering whether to go to Daijun or Zhongshan Kingdom, how about you choose for me?"
Leng Jun frowned: "Daijun is too far to the north, but it is the place where Liu Heng made his fortune. Zhongshan Kingdom is located in the Zhao Kingdom, and warriors are produced in the Yanzhao area. It is not suitable for you to go to either of these places, and Changsha is even more so.
You can’t go there. It’s relatively close to the Southern Barbarians, with dense mountains and forests, and miasma. Jichuan is the original land of the Liang Kingdom. That place is in the Central Plains. It’s a good place, but the end of the Liang King is not very good, so don’t go!”
Leng Yue asked: "Do those princes and kings really invite you to be the Prime Minister? I heard that the Prime Minister is appointed by the court. Without the emperor's consent, you shouldn't be able to go, right?"
"Who am I? That boy lied to me and only asked me to be a councilor. If I had known that I would stand at the end of the line, I might as well have been a guest in those princes' palaces, rather than being a coward in Chang'an!"
"Hahaha..." Leng Jun laughed: "Did you reveal your secret? You must not have even seen what the parents look like."
"I don't care what they look like. If they want to see me, I haven't seen them yet!"
The two bickered happily. Liu Gao hurried in and whispered in Su Ren's ear for a long time. Su Ren nodded and motioned Liu Gao to get down. When Leng Yue cleaned up for him again, Su Ren got up from the chair.
He jumped up and asked Leng Jun: "Are you okay?"
Leng Jun shook his head. Su Ren smiled and said: "Just in time, call Hawking and let's go out!"
"What's the matter?"
"You'll know when you go there."
Instead of going through the front door, he walked out of the back door. A carriage without any sign was parked at the back door. Several people got into the carriage and the carriage started. Su Ren didn't let anyone look out and kept everyone silent.
Looking at Su Ren coldly: "Who are you planning to harm?"
Su Ren smiled: "Speaking of it, I am working for your Xiang family this time. Don't call me so dirty."
"What's the meaning?"
"Step on it!"
The carriage circled around Chang'an City, passing through the streets and alleys without attracting anyone's attention. When it was about to arrive at the post house, the carriage suddenly turned north and entered an alley. There were several households inside.
The door of the second house on the left was wide open, and the coachman drove the carriage directly in without stopping.
There was no one in the yard, and it was extremely quiet. Huang Shisan got out of the car first, looked around, closed the door, opened the curtain, and let a few people get out. The yard was very dilapidated, and the thatch on the roof fell off.
Quite a few, there were several bottles and cans in the lobby. As a few people came in, seven or eight one-foot-long rats fled in a hurry.
Hawking covered his nose: "What is this place? What are we doing here? It's so dirty!"
Leng Jun snorted: "The first time I went to your house, it was worse than this! You brothers and sisters were all naked!"
Hawking quickly apologized and said, "Second brother, wasn't that the past? Can we not talk about it?"
After walking around the house, we went directly to the backyard. Several escalators had been set up on the wall. Su Ren took the lead and each chose one to climb up the wall. Only their heads were exposed and they looked out. Directly opposite was the post house.
"You want to kill the Four Kings?" Leng Jun understood instantly and looked at Su Ren in surprise.
Su Ren shook his head: "I don't have the ability. I just want to see what the four kings are like. It's up to you to kill them or not! From today on, the second brother, Xiao Jinzi, Huang Shisan, and Su Kai will be called.
Fu, the five of you will stay here for twelve hours. If anyone comes out in a hurry the night after tomorrow, stop them directly. I don’t need to tell you what to do, right?"
"What on earth do you mean?"
At this time, there was no need to hide it anymore. He could still trust Leng Jun, Huo Jin, and Huang Shisan, so he did not hide anything. He told Liu Che and his plan, and also told the purpose of day lily. Several people listened.
Bewildered for a moment, Hawking was the first to pat his chest and promise that he would definitely complete the task. Although Huang Shisan did not speak, he never discounted Su Ren's orders.
"How about it? Do you want to do it?" Su Ren looked at Leng Jun. Leng Jun thought about it for a long time and then said: "For such a big thing, you promise not to involve your family?"
Since having a child, Leng Jun's behavior can only be described by the word "Gu family". He will think about Twelve Mothers and the child first in everything. If Su Ren had just come to Dahan at this time, Leng Jun would never go crazy with him and would rather hide.
Live a peaceful life in the small Taoist temple in Wenshui. Perhaps because he has the blood of Overlord Xiang Yu in his body, Leng Jun is a good man and values loyalty. This is enough for the Gu family.
Su Ren nodded: "I can guarantee this!"
"Okay, I agree!"
After staying in the small courtyard for more than half an hour, a few people came down from the ladder. No one paid attention to the bustle in the post house, just remember their own tasks. Huang Shisan was responsible for informing Su Kai and Laifu
, Leng Jun and Hawking will stay in that small courtyard from now on.
It was still some time before the state banquet, and the four kings came all the way, and they were all uncles and brothers, and they had various stories of family ties. After sending away Prime Minister Xuchang, a banquet was arranged in the post house. Liu Deng, the acting king, was the oldest and took charge of the ceremony.
The position is naturally his. With his burly body and weather-beaten face, you can tell at a glance that he has been trained on horseback riding for many years.
Stroking his beard, Liu Deng said: "Brothers, the four of us are going to Beijing together. I don't need to tell you what the purpose is. It's up to us who will speak tomorrow!"
King Liu Ming of Jichuan was the youngest and had the most upright temper. He patted his chest and said, "Brother Wang, don't worry. I'm willing to be the first to say it."
Changsha Wang Liufa shook his head: "King Jichuan, don't be impulsive. This time we are here to ask for help. You have the most violent temper. It is inappropriate for you to say this."
Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, smiled slightly, drank the wine in the wine glass, and then said: "Is it me? Lao Shi is a little younger than me. It turns out that he was the best with me when we were in the palace. Even if I said something wrong, he should
