The meeting between brothers was a happy event, but one of them sat firmly on the position of Prince of Chengdu and the other was forced to be transferred to southern Xinjiang. His smile froze on his face. Although it was a moment, the estrangement had become!

"Since I'm anxious to go south, I'll hold a banquet for me in this long pavilion to tell you about my brother's feelings!" Liu Zhan looked at the little brother in front of me, and his tall figure instantly enveloped his heart.

"Brother is such a bad word. Yinzhou is fundamental to the country. There must be no delay. I will leave here. I'm sorry to urge you to follow up on money, food and supplies, and say goodbye!" Without any appreciation, Liu Dong smiled, but bowed and took off. Without waiting for the others to say something, he flew on his horse.

"King Xiang stay!" Zhang Tong, the general in front of the hall, shook his body and stopped King Xiang's horse, but one hand grabbed Liu Dong's horse's reins.

Before Liu Dong could react, Shu Can, the general of the Xuanjia Camp, shouted in a deep voice: "Bold, how can you be arrogant before the king's charity!"

Ignoring the murderous aura behind him, Zhang Tongji said: "King Xiang and the Crown Prince have not seen each other for many years. No matter what reason, we should tell you, why did King Xiang come and go in a hurry? Are you not afraid of criticism from the world?"

In the battle of Xiangyang that year, Zhang Tong also killed countless enemies with an iron stick, and protected Liu Dong into the city of Xiangyang. The two of them were in trouble together. At the risk of disrespect, Zhang Tong stood up, not wanting to see the prince's embarrassment, or not wanting the brother to be separated at this point. In any case, it was for the two brothers to have good luck.

"Does King Xiang decide? You are arguing with the king's charge, what should you be punished?" Shu Can's wisdom and martial arts are both first-class candidates when he can become Liu Dongzhi in Xiangyang. When asked about the crime, the prince's side was very passive.

Prince Liu Zhan stood there, watching Liu Dong, Zhang Tong and Shu Can argue, and found that his younger brother Liu Dong had no intention of speaking at all, and he couldn't help but get angry. As the prince and his brother, he was also his elder brother. Even if he had prejudice against his own heart, he would not have to make things difficult for him in such a scene. You must know that he had prepared everything half an hour in advance...

"My brother, General Zhang is not bad..." Liu Zhan said with anger, but saw King Xiang Liu Dong shouting coldly: "General Zhang Tong, in front of the palace, intercepted the king's carriage, and was killed by the crime. He was loyal and brave, and he would not blame him for his past and go to war!"

"What!?" The cold attitude and cold face surprised everyone present. Zhang Tong looked at the person in front of him in disbelief. The hand holding the reins tightly released and stood there in a daze.

"Hmph, can you be arrogant in front of the Prince's Palace?" Among the civil officials, one of them stepped forward to rescue the prince. Everyone looked at him. It was the minister Zhang Yu!

Liu Dong, who was about to leave, looked at the Imperial Guard who was always ready to move, then looked at the gloomy face of his brother, and bowed, "What can Lord Zhang teach me?"

"Your Majesty is not in the middle of Sichuan. His Highness is the leader of the crown prince in the middle of Sichuan. Although King Xiang is favored by His Majesty, he is also the crown prince's younger brother. Don't you think it's too much at this time?" Zhang Yu thought that no matter whether it is status or year order, you, Liu Dong, are just a baby. You are so arrogant in front of elders and always lose in terms of etiquette. You said this only based on the principles and etiquette, and you will not hurt King Xiang, and you can also protect the face of the crown prince.

Liu Dongren shook his head and sighed slightly, and turned around without saying a word. The Imperial Guards didn't know if they intercepted him and looked at the Crown Prince Liu Zhan. Everyone present was under King Xiang, and the three court officials were waiting in the city. It was not suitable to come here from afar. This was also the prince's compassion for the old ministers in the court.

"Brother, do you know how disappointed I am!" Liu Dong asked without looking back at his face, standing with his back to his brother.

Liu Zhan's pupils shrank, and he was embarrassed to say to his younger brother's blunt words: "The things in Yinzhou are for my brother's fault. You are right, but your brother has not done enough."

"Liu Dong knew what my brother thought. Yinzhou was at the root of the country. I would like to ignore the roots and seek the last ones. Please do not use it again!" With a warning, more than thirty riders left, leaving the prince Liu Zhan standing among the ministers with an ugly expression...

For the prosperous Shu Han, Yinzhou was just an overseas barbarian. Although it could be interconnected with overseas due to its special geographical location, it still could not change the Confucian prejudice against these "outsiders". Economically, it relies on Yinzhou's trade channels, and politically, it looked down on the people of Yinzhou. This is one of the reasons why Yinzhou was no longer suitable for the state patriarch after Yang Opera.

With such a wealthy place, all the aristocratic families and even peddlers in Shu Han wanted to make a fortune and gain rich benefits. Therefore, there are countless merchants representing major aristocratic families in Yinzhou, and the forces that are mixed with fish and dragons are definitely not something that ordinary ministers can manage. These merchants are not scary, but what is scary is that the forces behind them will inevitably be quite difficult to manage.

As a senior official of the first lord, Yang Xi even eliminated Huang Hao and Chen Qi's main player during the reign of the later lord Liu Chan. Huang Hao and Chen Qi controlled the government and turned the black and white. However, Liu Chan had Yang Xi's secretly planning to contact each other, and everything was shocked and safe.

Yang Wenran's power and wisdom are very easy to deal with such a complex place like Yinzhou. In addition, his status and status are not dared to disobey anyone under his jurisdiction.

Liu Dong's indifference was indeed a response to the prince, but his straightforward attitude was beyond everyone's expectations. Especially the last sentence was very thorough, the Yinzhou area was unable to be intimidated from the inside out by Shu Han. It was booming under the rule of the Han Dynasty. It was too late for the locals to fear the Shu Han army, so how could they dare to plunder the caravan?

There are only two types of people who dare to take action, one is an outsider overseas, and the other is a Han man who pretends to be mysterious and conceals his identity!

When doing business, you need to buy and sell, but robbery such as robbery is more profitable than any business!

Liu Chan has long deployed heavy troops in the south to prevent some turmoil in Yinzhou. After all, this place is famous and overseas countries are constantly coming. It is impossible to do without the guarantee of force.

Prince Liu Zhan was in charge of affairs in Sichuan, and Nanzhong and Yinzhou were also included. Knowing that there was a commotion in Yinzhou, the army in Nanzhong used the reasons for the Northern Expedition to move north. This can be interpreted as a decision-making mistake in supporting the Northern Expedition, or as intentional.

Everyone can see that the strong-willed King Xiang is the most suitable person for the whole country to transfer to Yinzhou. If there is a small chaos in Yinzhou, others can guard it. But if the situation is wrong, Your Majesty's final choice is to go there yourself, or King Xiang goes south!

King Xiang is becoming more and more popular, and it is understandable that the prince is afraid of it. But what King Xiang said is not unreasonable. The troops in the south are used to prevent Yinzhou and defend the financial routes of Shu Han. As the prince of the country, you use the troops from the south to support the Northern Expedition. No matter what the excuse is, it is essentially contrary to His Majesty's intention to set up this army.

In order to reduce the threat felt, I exchanged the interests of the country. This is what Liu Dong doesn’t understand and what Liu Chan is angry about!

Liu Zhan originally wanted to entertain his younger brother, regain the impression in his father's heart, and demonstrate his demeanor as a brother, but he didn't want to be taught a cold lesson by his younger brother who was twenty or thirty years younger than him. How can he not be angry?

The ministers dispersed and Liu Zhan returned to the city, but all this was seen by several pairs of eyes. One of them was an ordinary cavalryman behind King Xiang Liu.

Ordinary cavalry is not ordinary, because this person's identity is not a cavalry, but one of the insiders of King Xiang Liu Dong's mansion, Ai Ci!

"Daozi, is this really good?" King Xiang Liu Dong's cold face stopped and sighed a little.

Ai Ci, whose name is Daozi, was just dressed as an ordinary cavalry at this time. He followed Liu Dong and smiled and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince plotted against me once. My king gave me another plan this time. What's wrong with it?"

"Hey... Actually, my brother is very nice to me, I..." Liu Dong thought about Liu Zhan's expression just now, and thought about the imperial guard who had not been moving for a long time, and felt a stinging pain in his heart.

Ai Ci looked up at the sky and said slowly: "The prince has been afraid of my king for a long time, and Yinzhou is a difficult place. If my king does not establish his authority, he may be a disaster that will come."

Shu Can, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but say, "Daozi means that he is afraid that the prince will be more arrogant?"

Ai Ci sneered: "Of course, the easing of the situation will only make the prince hide in the dark. If the fall in love at this time, our king's road to governing Yinzhou will reduce the resistance. If a missed son is found in Yinzhou, my king's army and power will probably be taken back by His Majesty. There are countless capable people around the prince, and this is just the beginning!"

"Oh... Daozi's words are reasonable, Liu Dong will never do anything idle! But that's it... How do you clarify the misunderstanding between me and my elder brother?" Thinking of Ai Ci's analysis that blocked the way an hour ago, Liu Dong felt chill in his heart. If Ai Ci's analysis was correct, he might be falling into the trap set by his elder brother step by step!
