The prince's matter has been decided, and Empress Dowager Cai, Sun Shangxiang and concubine Cai Jia all came to see Liu Cong.
Liu Cong showed a rare toughness and rejected several people's requests without saying anything.
Cai Mao then had a bad idea for the prince, which Liu Cong could no longer tolerate. He didn't deal with him just because there was no reason, and it was because of the dignity of Empress Dowager Cai and Cai Jia.
As for Liu Yao, he was teasing his elder brother at such a young age. Liu Cong could only think of the worst. The children of the royal family matured prematurely, and such disputes between heirs and concubines must be eliminated as soon as possible.
Liu Cong was not sure whether it was Liu Yao's unintentional words or intentional, but if he punished him, he would send a signal to the civil and military officials and everyone that the prince was the prince, and he, the king, would die to protect and support the prince!
And Liu Xian, he kills people when he opens his mouth and shuts up. How can he be so violent at such a young age?
These brats made Liu Cong feel for the first time that being a king must not only handle external and domestic affairs well, but also handle family affairs at home!
The horses' hooves stepped briskly on the bluestone, and with the turning of the wheels, the convoy soon took the team out of Xiangyang.

"Teacher, are you disappointed in me?"
On the carriage, Liu Chang asked Xu Shu worriedly.
Xu Shu chuckled and said, "Prince, don't worry too much. The king is actually doing this to protect you. You are the prince, and if something like this happens, staying in Xiangyang will easily attract criticism."
"After a while, when the rumors have subsided, the king will naturally summon you back."
"Oh." Liu Chang nodded, "Then why did my father ask the fourth and sixth brothers to go too?"
Xu Shu narrowed his eyes and said, "This is also protecting them."
Cai Mao had an idea, and Liu Cong asked Liu Yao to go south to take a closer look at who else in the court wanted to take advantage of his son. He also asked Jin Yiwei to check whether Liu Yao and Cai Mao had talked about it when they were in contact with each other.
A plan for the prince.
"Stop! Stop!"
The guard outside suddenly shouted. Liu Chang and Xu Shu looked at each other. Xu Shu held down Liu Chang who wanted to peek his head, lifted the curtain of the car and asked, "What's going on?"
The guards in Jinyi who were escorting him cupped their hands and said, "Prince Qi, Mr. Xu, the sixth prince and the fourth prince are fighting."

Lü Meng's move south this time was delayed for some time due to the battle between Liu Xun and Bai Langyi. However, during this period, Lü Meng, Zhang Zheng and other generals recruited troops in the central area of Nanzhong.
The Chu army once again replenished its strength to more than 50,000 men. The combined population of all ethnic groups in Ailao was only about 150,000. Facing the Chu army, the army alone was one-third of its own.
Pi Ge persuaded Rong to kill his beloved son decisively and sent his head to the Chu camp, hoping that the Chu army would retreat.
"Retreat?" Lu Meng sneered and said, "It doesn't matter that Ailao is disrespectful to me, but your young patriarch, Dad You Aru, dares to be disrespectful to my great Chu. This is provoking the majesty of my great Chu country. This
You are insulting my king’s majesty!”
"Bang!"
Lu Meng punched the table, frightening the envoy who was kneeling on the ground so much that he collapsed on the ground, "Such contempt for the kingdom! Do you really think that the millions of lions in my country are just decorations? Ah?"
The envoy collapsed on the ground, trembling and cupping his hands, saying, "General...general...that...that...that..."
"Haha." Lu Meng stood up with a smile and walked to the messenger's side, patting his shoulder with one hand, "Take a deep breath, don't be so afraid, yes, inhale, exhale."
The envoy was calmed down a lot after being comforted by Lu Meng, "General, it was all done by that bastard Payou Aru. We, the entire Ailao clan, are willing to serve the higher country, and our respect for the higher country will continue to grow."
You can learn from the moon, General."
Lu Meng licked his lips and said, "Can the sun and the moon serve as a guide? I know your sincerity, but our king does not. To tell you the truth, these more than 50,000 people in my army are just the vanguard. The king has already sent a
Shu Ling Pang Tong led an army of 300,000 people to the south in order to destroy your Ailao clan!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"
The envoy was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed again, "General Mingjian, we are not to blame for this matter. The culprit, Payou Aru, has been killed by us. I beg the general to write to the king of Chu, stating our interests, and begging the king to spare us."
.”
Lu Meng pretended to be embarrassed and said, "It's not that I won't help you. Tell me, if the king sends 300,000 troops and doesn't get some benefits, can he withdraw his troops?"
The envoy understood the meaning of Lu Meng's words and asked cautiously, "What do you mean, general?"
Lu Meng continued, "In this case, you go back and tell your clan leader to gather all the people in Ailao. I will announce the head of your young clan leader, the chief culprit who has angered the upper country, in front of the entire Ailao clan."
"At that time, I will write to my king again and say that you sincerely repent. Everything that happened before was all the personal actions of Payou Aru. My king will rule the country with benevolence and will not embarrass you."
After speaking, Lu Meng gently patted the envoy's shoulder twice more. The envoy frowned and said, "General, I'm afraid this won't work. For the sake of the survival of the tribe, we have already killed our own young patriarch. By doing this, you are simply humiliating us again.
"
"When the time comes, if someone cannot bear the humiliation and rises up to resist, our clan leader will not be able to restrain him, and it will be detrimental to the country."
Lu Meng stood up and looked condescendingly at the Ailao envoy, "You can't bear the humiliation? I will consider it for you, and you talk to me about the humiliation? Then go back and tell your clan leader to prepare for the attack of my army and to withstand the great force."
Chu’s anger!”
"Here comes someone! See you off!"

"General! General!" the envoy, who was being driven out by two soldiers, kept shouting, "General! This villain can't make the final decision on this matter. Let me go back and report it to our clan leader!"
Lu Meng waved his hand, and the two soldiers put down the envoys, "That's right. We Han people have a saying that those who know the current affairs are heroes and can save your tribe. What does this humiliation mean? Isn't it?
"
The Ailao envoy left, leaving behind the head of their young clan leader, and went back to report Lu Meng's request to Pi Ge, the Ailao clan leader.
In the face of the general situation and the powerful Chu State, the Ailao clan leader was very good at killing his own son for the sake of his tribe. This aspect is quite similar to the style of King Gou Jian of Yue.
