From Chang'an to Zhangjun, everyone knows about the bad reputation of the Tang Dynasty.

Before he even arrived at Jing State, the officials of Jing State were already discussing this matter.

Liu Jia's adopted son was still very young, even younger than Liu Chang, and did not understand these things at all. All the affairs of the Jing Kingdom were taken care of by the Prime Minister and the generals. The Prime Minister was called Wang Xiong, who originally followed Liu Jia.

Although Jia's battle results were not impressive, he won the trust of Liu Jia, so he stayed with him and used him in important ways.

Wang Xiong stood beside Liu Bu, looked at the ministers, and said seriously: "Your Majesty has agreed that the king will return to the country, and specially sent the King of Tang and the Marquis of Yingyin to pay homage and observe the ceremony."

"This would have been a good thing...it's just..."

He looked at everyone with a troubled expression and said, "This Prince of Tang... is really difficult to get along with."

"The King of Tang was raised personally by the Queen Mother and was deeply doted on, so he was somewhat..."

Wang Xiong thought for a long time and said, "It's a bit arrogant."

The ministers knelt and sat on both sides. After hearing Wang Xiong's words, someone said: "On his way to Jing Kingdom, the king of Tang always made things rude to officials, big and small, including the Nanyang County Sheriff and the Hengshan County Sheriff.

The governor of Lujiang County was humiliated by the Tang Dynasty king for various things..."

"In the entire southern country, no one is not shocked and no one is not afraid."

"I heard that this king of the Tang Dynasty was a cannibal. There was once a famous scholar named Kuai Che who was cooked and killed by him because he did not go out to meet him!"

"Yes, yes, I heard about it too."

"I also heard that this Tang King is moody, irrational... well, he is so disrespectful... When he comes to Jing Kingdom... Well, how should we treat him?"

Hearing these words, the young Liu Bu's face turned pale with fright. He trembled and said, "In that case, should the ministers still go to greet us?"

Wang Xiong shook his head, "Your Majesty, you don't know. The King of Chu kindly sent an envoy to give gifts, but the King of Tang asked the King of Chu why he didn't come to meet him... The King of Chu is the close father-in-law of the King of Tang. Even so... If the King doesn't

If I go to greet him in person, I'm afraid that Prince Tang... will be even more rude to your Majesty."

"The king will humiliate and the minister will die!"

A general stood up and shouted, Wang Xiong glared at him, "Our city of Jing is only thirty, and our soldiers are only thirty thousand. If the king of Tang is angered, are you going to stop the tigers and wolves of Tang? Then the whole Tang is barbarians.

, I don’t know etiquette, and I’m disrespectful to the emperor. How can I still be afraid of you?”

"The Tang Dynasty is far away..."

"Far?? The Tang State sent troops from Jibei County, Qi Chu dared to stop them?"

Everyone immediately lowered their heads.

Wang Xiong looked at the restless Liu Bu and said seriously: "Your Majesty, don't be afraid. When the King of Tang comes, please treat him as a brother and talk more about the former king. When the former king was still alive, he talked about the king of Tang many times.

He liked him very much and called him "my tiger, a strong and strong man will bring peace to the country"... If you respect him, the King of Tang will definitely not be too rude to you."

"Your Majesty has come, and we will go out of the city to greet him... Please don't do anything to offend the King of Tang, and don't say anything... After the King of Tang worships and observes the ceremony, he will leave. Please do it for

The late king’s last wish is to be tolerated for the time being.”

Wang Xiong gave instructions again and again, and everyone followed the instructions one after another.

After everyone left, Wang Xiong continued to comfort Liu Bu, "Although I have never met the King of Tang, I have heard a lot about him from the late king. As long as you are willing to give gifts, flatter him more, and say things he likes to hear,

Nothing will happen.”

Liu Bu asked weakly: "Doing this won't bring shame on my father, right?"

"Of course not... King Tang, even if the King of Chu wants to give him three points, it is definitely not a shame for you to tolerate him... If some ministers say that this is wrong, then let him serve the King of Tang

!Let’s see if he dares not to give in!”

Liu Bu nodded and asked: "Is this brother, my brother, really so scary?"

"It's terrible... it's terrible... Your Majesty didn't know something. When Moton sent someone to ask for peace... This person wrote to Moton and said he wanted to join... Well, forget it, Your Majesty, you want it anyway

Remember, you must not offend him... No one in the Tang Kingdom can be provoked... They are all a group of barbarians, reckless men, and rebels... As long as the king can get on the line of the Tang King, even if there is a big chaos in the future, he will not be offended...

Don’t lose your throne!”

"ah??"

Liu Bu's eyes widened. Hearing this, why did he feel that he was persuading him to follow the king of Tang in rebellion in the future?

Wang Xiong smiled and said: "I didn't expect that His Majesty would really allow it...Thanks to the noble people who spoke for us... This is a good thing, and the King should be happy!"

....

When Liu Chang came to the Southern Kingdom, he immediately caused a disturbance in all the southern lands.

The legends about him are spreading more and more widely and becoming more and more outrageous. In Jingchu, Wu and other places, they are rapidly moving in the direction of "stopping children from crying at night".

Liu Chang was completely unaware that at this moment, he was holding a three or four year old child and teasing the child with a smile.

"This kid reminds me of Jian... Jian is about the same age as him, but he's not as honest as him... he's too noisy."

Liu Chang smiled and said to Luan Bu next to him. The child's parents were standing not far away, their faces pale with fright. Luan Bu glanced at the child. The child's eyes were full of fear. He held his breath and was so frightened.

Shivering.

"My lord... put it down."

"okay."

Liu Chang put the child down, took out some food from his sleeves, put it in the child's hand, touched his head and said, "Listen to your parents!"

"Yeah!", the child kept nodding his head, his eyes full of fear.

"Let's go!"

Only then did Liu Chang lead the four evil men away from here. Luan Bu couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty...have we gone too far these days? The people of this southern land feel as if they are seeing your Majesty."

The hungry tiger has a pale face, King Jing won't be too frightened to come to greet him, right?"

"Won't."

The one who spoke was Ji Bu, who said seriously: "The ministers of Jing State must be preparing to welcome the king at this moment."

"I know Wang Xiong. He has no talents. He is just loyal enough to the old King Jing, so he was appointed or dismissed as prime minister."

Ji Bu said with emotion: "It's a pity that although this man doesn't have any great talents, he is diligent and thrifty, treats the people well, is conscientious... and has no fault of virtue."

Liu Chang suddenly asked: "Ji Bu... I always feel that something is wrong."

Ji Bu was stunned and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"The Kingdom of Jing is surrounded by Chu and Wu. It only has one county and tens of thousands of soldiers. The number of soldiers in the capital may be less than 3,000... A large number of soldiers are on the border of Fujian and Vietnam. Do they really dare to rebel?

"

"Brother has always been kind and righteous. If no one else had intentionally reminded him, would he want to deal with Jing Guo?"

"You just said that Wang Xiong is a man who loves the people. Will he take the people of Jing State to bury King Jing with him?"

Before Ji Bu could speak, Luan Bu was shocked and said, "What do you mean, Your Majesty??"

Liu Chang just stared into Ji Bu's eyes and said, "The envoy has come. Your Majesty will meet him in the Xuanshi Hall. On the left and right are Wang Ling and Chen Ping."

"My mother said that Chen Ping once told her...the whole thing was that Chen Ping hinted at my brother and made him deliberately suspicious so that he could send me to Chang'an? Isn't that right?"

"Chen Ping dared to do this... because he was instructed... Who is my mother going to attack? She has to send me away... The Queen Mother sacrifices her life?"

Liu Chang stared at Ji Bu's face. At that moment, Zhang Buyi and Luan Bu quickly drew their swords, and the two sharp swords were directly pressed against Ji Bu's neck.

Facing the threat from Liu Chang, Ji Bu was not afraid at all. He just looked at Liu Chang calmly.

"Is the king going to kill me?"

"Let me ask you, what did grandma give you the order? Was Guan Ying also involved?!"

Liu Chang pulled out Ji Bu's own sword and stared directly into Ji Bu's eyes with a cold expression.

"I asked my mother why she let me go out so easily... If I were really in danger... would my mother let me go? Would Chen Ping suggest that I go? Isn't he afraid that something would happen to me and cause chaos in the Tang Dynasty?

...They have already colluded."

Ji Bu chuckled, "Your Majesty is getting smarter and smarter..."

"But it's too late."

"Now, it's probably over."

"Tell me! Who are you targeting?"

Zhang Buyu suddenly asked: "Is it going to be against the Marquis of Huaiyin?"

"No, Master has been protected by my mother for a long time, otherwise he would have died long ago. If you want to kill him, there is no need to go to such trouble."

Duke Zhao thought thoughtfully, "Your Majesty... the Queen Mother doesn't want you to participate, so it's best that your Majesty doesn't know."

"Zhao Gong? Do you know?"

Liu Chang hurriedly looked at Zhao Ping, who pondered for a moment and said: "Perhaps your Majesty doesn't know that since the Queen Mother delegated power to Your Majesty, Wang Ling has the intention to completely eradicate the Lu family's relatives... He has openly written a letter to move

The Empress Dowager and the Changle Palace... also submitted a letter to let Cao Shen's son serve as Lang Zhongling... and also ordered the imperial censor to strictly investigate the Marquis Jiancheng..."

"You mean...my mother is going to attack the ministers? She wants to kill Wang Ling?!"

"No! My mother hoped that Wang Ling could support her brother, so she repeatedly persuaded me not to touch Wang Ling. How could she touch Wang Ling?"
