Chapter 0010: The Ass Determines the Head
"At home."
Walking out of the Xuanshu Hall slowly, as soon as he walked down the long steps, Liu Ying saw a figure walking out from the side.
I secretly settled down, and when I took a closer look, I realized that it was the baby who was waiting.
"The family is righteous, minister, I don't know how to repay ......"
Seeing the baby bowing down with shame, Liu Ying couldn't help but smile, but secretly thought about it.
What kind of person is Guan Baby, Liu Ying couldn't be clearer.
Whether it is in Liu Ying's previous life or in the memory of the first half of his life, Yingyin Hou is a person who is very proficient in 'seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages'.
For example, last year, the news of the death of Zhou Luhou and Lu Ze came from the north wall generation, and the court suddenly became a rumor.
Some people say that it was acting prime minister Chen Feng who was dissatisfied with Lu Ze's interference in the defense of the north wall, so he teamed up with Han Wangxin, who had fled to the Xiongnu, to assassinate Lu Ze.
Some people also say that it was Zang Yan, the son of the late Yan King Zang Tu who fled to the Xiongnu, and Han Wangxin, who also fled to the Xiongnu, who instigated the Xiongnu and set a trap for Lu Ze.
In the end, the court gave the final conclusion on the mysterious death of Zhou Luhou Lu Ze on the north wall.
- The Death King.
In the words of the Hereafter, it is death; Lu Ze became the highest-ranking martyr who died in foreign wars for more than 400 years before and after the Han Dynasty.
The court only dropped a sentence of 'the death of the king', and no longer investigated the cause and effect of this matter, and there was no intention of revenge.
At that time, as one of the top achievers and top performers in the old forces of Zhou Luhou and Lu Ze, Guan Ying did a rather unkind thing.
ββOn the grounds that he was seriously ill and bedridden, he sent his next family nephew to the Zhou Luhou Mansion to offer condolences on his behalf.
From this incident alone, it can be seen that the person who instilled the baby is definitely a 'smart person'.
But it is precisely because of this that since the death of Zhou Luhou Lu Ze, Guan Ying has encountered a lot of dissatisfaction both in the Fengpei Yuan and in the old circle of Zhou Lu.
- Smart people, and there is more than one baby!
How Lu Ze died, although no one could say clearly, the strange aura revealed in it naturally couldn't hide from the human spirits who crawled out of the pile of dead people in the court.
In this case, if you want to protect yourself, the wisest choice is to pretend that you don't know anything, as if Lu Ze really died in battle, and obediently come to the door to condole.
Cry twice when you should cry, mourn when you should mourn, and everything is as usual.
It's good to fill the baby, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he Yingyin Hou 'had already understood the mystery', so he didn't go to the funeral directly!
Not only did he not go, but he didn't even send a representative son and nephew such as a sister-in-law and eldest son, so he sent a collateral son and nephew?
In the hearts of the courtiers and officials, the nature of this matter is almost no different from that of later generations, reporting classmates for cheating.
- I admit that you did the right thing, you are a person of integrity, but I want to stay away from you.
In this way, in just one year, the Marquis of Yingyin, the ninth top father of the Han Dynasty, has become the point where he is now 'friendless'.
It stands to reason that for such a 'smart person' who seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages and only thinks about protecting himself, Liu Ying should also have contempt.
But the dismal career of nine years in his previous life made Liu Ying clearly understand a truth.
Ass, decide the head.
From an objective point of view, or from the point of view of justice, the life creed of infant-filled babies is not very noble.
But for today's Liu Ying, a person who understands, and almost only knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, is rare, and can be a force that Liu Ying can recruit.
- What else?
To recruit those people who are well-born, and Liu Bang has been playing together in open crotch pants since childhood?
Or recruit the martial arts generals who were born and died with Lu Ze and were the Marquis of Han Gong?
Obviously: Liu Ying at this time, let alone recruiting Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Fan Xu, Xiahou Ying, if you don't rely on the help of her mother's family, it will be difficult for Liu Ying to get anyone with the word 'Hou' in the title.
At the moment, the title can be stained with the word 'Hou', but it is a ruthless person who climbs up from the pile of dead people step by step with his own hands!
On the other hand, Liu Ying, except for her father Liu Bang and her mother Lu Pheasant, there are almost no other qualities that can be admired and convincing.
Therefore, for the current Liu Ying, a person who knows how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and can be bribed for the sake of profit, is easier to recruit than those meritorious lords who are full of war and killing and only serve those who are stronger than themselves.
Of course, when the power is in hand, and his subordinates are like clouds and good ministers are like rain, Liu Ying can naturally kick away the baby without any psychological pressure, and learn from the father Liu Bang to shout: Make the future generations of ministers ineffective to irrigate the baby!
Thinking about it secretly, Liu Ying smiled, patted the baby's shoulder without the majesty of the prince, and signaled to talk while walking.
"Today, the queen mother is indeed a little angry, but what the queen mother said is not completely groundless?"
With an indifferent word, Liu Ying turned her head sideways as usual and looked at the baby's face.
"If Gu is not mistaken, the Marquis of Yingyin was not a general of the Marquis of Zhou and Lu at the beginning, but started Dangjun as Zhongjuan, so as to follow his father to attack Qin?"
Listening to Liu Ying almost without the slightest memory, she bluntly told her past, and the baby hurriedly gave it away.
"The family is concerned, but the minister's affairs are well known, and the minister respects ......"
said so, secretly, the baby suddenly felt a little surprised.
For his past, let alone Liu Bang today, if it weren't for Liu Ying to mention it, he would have forgotten about it!
Then Liu Ying, such a fourteen-year-old prince, why does he remember it so clearly?
Is it only his own business, Liu Ying remembers it so clearly, or is every meritorious prince in the court, his past martial arts and exploits, all remembered by Liu Ying in his heart?
While the baby was thinking about it, he heard Liu Ying's sigh with a little nostalgia and put his hands behind his back.
"In the second year of the Han Dynasty, the Han Chu Pengcheng battle, the father was defeated by Xiang Yu, the army was defeated and fled, at that time there was a Chu general, named Ding Gu, who pursued his father in the name of Xiang Yu."
As she spoke, Liu Ying turned her head sideways with a smile on her face: "Does the Marquis of Yingyin still remember this person?" β
Seeing that the baby's face tightened, Liu Ying only said to herself: "My father persuaded Ding Gu with the words of raising my own self-respect, and I really had two intentions, so that my father could escape, and then I decided the world in a battle!" β
"When Xiang Yu killed himself in Wujiang, and his father established the Han Dynasty, Ding Gu invited his father to drive in front of him, but he was beheaded by his father."
Speaking of this, Liu Ying finally stopped, turned sideways to face the baby, and still had that shallow smile on her face.
"Marquis Yingyin, do you still remember, before his father ordered Ding Gu to be beheaded, what did he say?"
Listening to Liu Ying's question again, Guan Ying couldn't continue to be silent, and only lowered his head weakly.
"Your Majesty said: Xiang Yu lost the world, and Ding Gu was disloyal; Cut it now, so that the future generations will be vassals, and the ...... of Ding Gong will be invalid"
But when Liu Ying heard this, she seemed to follow
