"Cloud King, could it be that young hero who defeated the Xiongnu warriors?”
"Is it the Ninth Prince who opposed the marriage alliance?”
"Could it be the Cloud King who is about to go to the border and guard the door for the country?”
The scene was in an uproar. Everyone's faces revealed shock, astonishment, and admiration.
No one doubted the authenticity of these words. There were soldiers stationed in the city.
Whoever dared to impersonate a member of the royal family here was simply seeking death.
"That's right. I am Liu Sheng, the Cloud King.”
The others had already set up the stage. If Liu Sheng did not stand up and act tough, it would be a waste of their efforts.
Therefore, he took a step forward and exposed himself to the surrounding people.
A dignified young man with an indescribable dignity walked out.
Some of them instinctively showed fear on their faces and knelt on the ground on the spot.
This was like a signal. Many people didn't even figure out what was going on before they were forced to kneel down by the surrounding environment.
"King Amongst the Clouds…Why is the King Amongst the Clouds here?”
The few idlers who had been badmouthing Liu Sheng behind his back looked at each other and could see the fear and despair on each other's faces.
With the Cloud King's status, it would be easier for him to crush them than to step on ants.
If they were in their shoes, they would never let go of the person who slandered them behind their backs.
So, he was dead meat?
In desperate situations, people could often erupt with shocking energy.
One of the idlers kneeled in front of Liu Sheng and said,""Wangye, Li Ernasi has been dissatisfied with you for a long time and has said a lot of bad things about you behind your back.”
Then, someone reacted and added,"That's right. Li Er also said that it's none of Your Highness 'business whether the Imperial Court marries or not. Why does Your Highness need to step up?”
Li Er, who had been betrayed by the two of them, turned pale and trembled. He pointed at his two companions, but he could not even say a complete sentence.
Yes, he did say something similar, but wasn't that just a mouthful of nonsense from drinking too much? How could he take it seriously?
He wanted to ask someone to plead for mercy, but wherever he turned, there was a look of disgust.
If it was because of something else, even if it was a major crime of murder, Wanderers who had always been loyal would always be willing to help.
However, Li Er had insulted the Cloud King, who had resisted the Xiongnu and opposed the marriage.
After the news of what had happened a few days ago had spread, many Wanderers had regarded the Cloud King as their idol.
If they had known that this would happen, many of the rangers present would have taught this fellow a lesson without the Cloud King's intervention.
At this moment, Liu Sheng walked over and shook his head gently at Li Er's ashen face.
"I won't punish you for slandering me behind my back!”
"However, I have to tell you something.”
"Those who protect the country, their monarch and their ministers are the ones who seek meat; To protect the world, the common people's lowly and have a responsibility.”
This sentence translated to the rise and fall of the world, everyone was responsible!
Hearing this, everyone in the surroundings trembled.
It was like a sudden clap of thunder that made many people feel enlightened.
Before this, many people thought that marriage was a matter of the court and war was only a matter of the soldiers.
But now, someone was telling them that everyone was responsible for the rise and fall of the world.
This thought caused many people's hearts to throb from the depths of their souls.
"The marriage alliance is not a matter of one family and one surname. It is related to the glory and prosperity of the entire Han family!”
"Which family doesn't have parents, which family doesn't have sisters? Who would be willing to send their loved ones to that country of beasts?”
"I'm going to the northern border to let the world no longer have the pain of losing relatives!”
Liu Sheng raised his head slightly. His handsome face was filled with solemnity and sadness.
There was a crystal-clear liquid rolling at the corner of his eyes.
"I know my mistake, please punish me!”
Li Er suddenly burst into tears and cried out.
Liu Sheng didn't know if this person was acting, but he couldn't pretend anymore.
"I won't punish you. If you really want to, go to the border county and bring back a few Xiongnu heads!”
He noticed that there were already officials from the Internal History Office walking over, so he turned around and returned to the carriage after saying that.
Chen Shi's face was full of pride. He held the reins of his horse and wherever he went, envious gazes would be cast at him.
After he left the crowd, he lowered his voice and said,"Your Highness's magnanimity is admirable, but wouldn't it be too easy for him to let that person go?”
"Haha!"
Liu Sheng sat in the carriage and smiled without saying a word.
Cheap? It couldn't be.
With the culture of the Han Dynasty, if that person did not want to be pointed at and looked down upon for the rest of his life, he had to go to the border.
But was it so easy to take the Xiongnu's head?
According to the military merit system of the Han Dynasty, three heads were enough for an ordinary soldier to become an officer.
Many people had been in the army for many years, but they were still nothing. How could this not explain the problem?
Therefore, Li Er probably didn't come back.
"Your Highness, someone is blocking the way ahead!"
Before Chen Shi could finish his words, a man dressed in the official uniform of the Internal History Office walked up to the carriage and bowed.
"I am Zhang Tang, a lowly official of the Office of Internal Affairs. Greetings, Your Highness, the King of Clouds!”
"Zhang Tang?"
Liu Sheng seemed to have heard of this name before.
He searched his mind and quickly found the relevant information.
Zhang Tang, a native of Chang 'an and a disciple of Legalism, was a famous cruel official in the Western Han Dynasty.
This person was very talented and had co-presided over the revision of the "Yue Gong Law","Chao Law" and other legal works of the Great Han Dynasty.
He advocated severe punishment and severe law, often modified with the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, and took the emperor's will as the criterion for prison administration.
He once helped Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to promote the monopoly of salt and iron, sue and calculate the cord, crack down on rich merchants and cut off despotic people.
In summary, this person was not the kind of upright and unyielding bureaucrat who adhered to his principles.
Instead, they were capable officials who knew how to be flexible.
He couldn't help but feel interested.""Why did you come to see me?"
Through the curtain, one could see that Zhang Tang was a young man with some excitement and nervousness on his face.
"I'm willing to sacrifice myself for Your Highness!"
This answer was a little unexpected, but it was reasonable after thinking about it carefully.
In many people's eyes, Liu Sheng's investment value had become extremely low.
However, in the eyes of some people, this was the best opportunity to display what they had learned in their lifetime.
"Fine, you will resign from your position in the internal history office tomorrow and wait for Marquis Chen's arrangements.”
"Here!"
Chen Shi and Zhang Tang replied at the same time.
Their eyes met, and there was a faint sense of competition.
