Liu Feng, named Gongzhong, was originally the son of the Kou family in Jingzhou. It is said that he was the nephew of a family named Liu in Changsha County.
Liu Bei was unable to gain a foothold in the Central Plains. After seeking refuge with Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, he temporarily settled in Jingzhou. At this time, he was over fifty years old but had no children, so he adopted Liu Feng as his adopted son.
In terms of martial arts and resourcefulness, Liu Feng is not weak. At least he has the strength of a second-rate general, and he is very powerful. He contributed a lot to the pacification of Jingzhou and the Battle of Crossing the River. He won Liu Bei's trust, and he also has a lot of power in the army. Prestige, he was canonized as King Lingling because of his achievements.
Liu Feng is self-aware, and his achievements are not high enough to be crowned king. Compared with their achievements, the achievements of Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Wenpin are all better than his, and they can be crowned King of Lingling. It's all because of Liu Bei's appearance.
For this reason, Liu Feng lived in fear every day.
Liu Chan's birth gave him a great threat. The high hopes and love he could feel in Liu Bei before had disappeared. On the contrary, now he could feel that there was a coldness hidden in Liu Bei's eyes that had maintained love since then. murderous intent.
Especially as Liu Chan grew up, this feeling became stronger.
Originally, after Liu Chan was captured by Jingguo, Liu Chan hoped that Zhang Xiu could kill him like the prince of the Cao family and kill him with one blow. Unexpectedly, he was sent back intact by Jingguo. When Liu Chan was sent back that night, God knows how frustrated he was.
At the return banquet that night, Liu Feng drank himself unconscious.
Zhang Xiu was able to put Liu Chan back alive. Of course he had his own little conspiracy. Based on the experience of later generations, he knew that Liu Feng was an uneasy man. According to later records, if Liu Feng had not sent troops to assist Guan Yu, the whole of Nanyang might have been destroyed by Guan Yu. Got it.
But Liu Feng was still very loyal. Later generations recorded that after Meng Da rebelled, he and Wei general Xu Huang attacked Liu Feng and persuaded Liu Feng to surrender, but Liu Feng would rather die than surrender. Later, he was defeated and returned to Chengdu, and Liu Bei sentenced him to death.
Today's situation is very different from what was recorded in later generations. Jingguo has occupied eighty-nine of the world, and Chu has only one state, and it has been named the outermost Lingling County. To put it nicely, it is a king, but to put it badly, It sounds good, he is a cannon fodder on the front line. This is the closest place to Jingguo, facing the military peak of Jingguo.
If there is a war in the future, if Liu Feng defends Lingling County, that is what he should do. If he cannot bear it, it will be a death penalty. Moreover, now he lives under Liu Bei's surveillance, and his every move is monitored. He secretly told Liu Bei that such a life made him very bored.
And just when he was troubled, a man appeared in front of him.
This person is none other than the second-in-command of Beizhen Fusi: Chen Er.
Zhang Xiu may know Liu Feng's current situation better than Liu Bei. This is the horror of Beizhen Fusi. Over the years, Beizhen Fusi has been expanding. With Zhang Xiu's support, funds have been flowing into Beizhen. Fu Si, money can make the world go round. Fu Si in Beizhen also has a terrifying infiltration, almost without control.
It can be said that even if it is a secret memorial written by Liu Bei, there may be two copies.
Black clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it.
The roaring thunder rolled in the sky, brightening the sky, flashing terrifying cracks, and shrouding the earth, looking terrifying and frightening.
Chen Er took advantage of the night and entered the palace of King Lingling.
Liu Feng sat on the chair in front of his desk, staring blankly at the thunderstorm outside, his eyes filled with sadness. Chen Er came in quietly, walked to the table in the middle hall very calmly and sat down, picked up the tea and drank it by himself.
Liu Feng said in an elusive tone: "You are finally here!"
Chen Er was a little surprised: "Did you know I'm coming tonight?"
Liu Feng sneered calmly: "I'm not sure whether it will be tonight or tomorrow night, but what is certain is that you will come to me sooner or later. Otherwise, there is no need to spend such a high price to place people in my palace."
Chen Er looked at the teacup: "It seems you have noticed it a long time ago."
Liu Feng smiled self-deprecatingly: "We are in a cage, and some subtle changes will be infinitely magnified. I have to admire your penetration ability. I was able to discover you, but it was unintentional."
Chen Er: "Since you know I'm coming, you must have guessed our purpose!"
Liu Feng asked bluntly: "I don't want to know anything else. I just ask, what can Emperor Jing give me?"
Chen Er: "It's straightforward enough, but this is the best, so that I don't waste my words. What's the condition? You know, no one with the surname Zhang can be king in the world. Other than that, you can choose whatever you want."
Liu Feng raised his eyebrows: "Emperor Jing is so generous? Okay! Then I won't be polite. I still know how much Liu Feng weighs. I can't afford those prominent positions and honors. For example, the current king Jue, I don't have such a hard life and can't bear it, so... I just hope that I can become a rich man, a carefree rich man."
Chen Er was surprised by this condition.
According to the prediction, Liu Feng would at least have to be a marquis. Zhang Xiu had already agreed to this condition in advance. Unexpectedly, Liu Feng's condition was just to be a rich man!
Seeing that Chen Er was silent, Liu Feng smiled and said, "Why, are you surprised by my conditions?"
Chen Er nodded: "To be honest, I'm very surprised."
Liu Feng laughed heartily: "What wealth, royal power, and rules are all a dream in the world. I have been monitored by Liu Bei (who has been called by his first name) for more than two years. I am going crazy. I am thirty-seven years old this year." , how much time is left? Furthermore, how big does this official need to be? I’m not good at calculations, so I don’t have too many extravagant hopes. A rich man is enough!"
After hearing Liu Feng's remarks, Chen Er admired him a little.
After being monitored by Liu Bei for two years, Liu Feng's temperament changed unexpectedly. After all, he lived in water and heat every day, and his life was in danger at any time. This kind of suffering is not something ordinary people can bear.
Chen Er stood up and looked outside. It was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers. Thunder roared above the roof, and heavy rain crackled on the leaves outside: "Whether it's big or small, or being watched, you are too. As a person who has been a king, you have experienced everything from being a commoner of the Kou family to becoming a king. To be honest, I admire your experience."
Liu Feng laughed at himself: "What's the use? In the end, it's all in vain! When are your Jingjun going to take over Lingling County? I can make preparations in advance."
Chen Er: "I'm afraid the prince will have to be the prince for a while longer. The time is not right now."
"Hahaha!"
Liu Feng laughed: "As expected of Emperor Jing, every step has been calculated. Well, it doesn't matter if you wait for a while. Liu Bei hasn't found an excuse to kill me yet, has he?"
Chen Er was speechless.
It was dull for a long time, and only bursts of thunder could be heard in the sky.
Not long after, Chen Er left amid thunder. Liu Feng still maintained his previous posture, looking out the window, but his eyes were no longer sad, but empty.
