Chapter 016: Shen Tujia's Determination

Seeing Liu Pengzu and Liu Sheng leave the Hou Mansion with different faces, Shen Tujia did not return to the bedroom as before, but sat thoughtfully in the pavilion, pouring a sip of tea from time to time;

At dusk, when the old housekeeper came to remind Shen Tujia, he saw Shen Tujia's demeanor and realized something, so he came to Shen Tujia's side lightly.

"Prince."

A low call finally provoked Shen Tujia to turn around from his thoughts, and when he saw that it was the old servant coming, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head, and then let out a long sigh.

"Alas~"

"Today, the temperament of the two sons really worries me."

Seeing that Shen Tujia seemed to be intending to talk to him, the old housekeeper also smiled lightly and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the words and deeds of the two sons?" ”

"It's not inappropriate."

"It's just vaguely, a little extreme?"

With a tangled face, Shen Tujia couldn't help but sigh again, and leaned back to the side, propping his elbows on the table beside him.

"Gongzi Peng Zu is eloquent, but there is a faint hint of sophistry in his speech."

"Such a character, if taught correctly, may be able to avoid great calamity;"

"But if you go astray and wait to be crowned king in the future, you will inevitably use the method of reversing right and wrong to smear and frame the officials in the country."

"Being smeared and framed by their own king, the officials in the country will inevitably become more cautious, and even do not hesitate to give up their duties of supervising and supervising the princes and kings to avoid themselves being framed."

"Coupled with the ability of the prince Peng Zu to show the ability to say right as wrong and white as black, I am afraid that when that day comes, even the court will be kept in the dark by His Royal Highness the prince······"

Softly expressing his opinion of Liu Pengzu, Shen Tujia took a deep breath, and his expression warmed up a little.

"As for Childe Sheng, it's slightly better."

"Although he is a little clever, he is also quite kind, and there is no great evil;"

"Except for the filial piety to Mrs. Jia, there are no other problems that may make this son do something shocking."

"But among the two sons born to Mrs. Jia, Gongzi Peng Zu is a little older, and Gongzi Sheng is slightly younger;"

"In the future, when the two sons are crowned kings, Mrs. Jia will inevitably go to the princess Peng Zu's feudal kingdom and become the queen mother."

"At that time, without Mrs. Jia by her side, I was not afraid of the ground and the temperament of Gongzi Sheng······"

"Alas······"

In the end, Shen Tujia couldn't help but shake his head again and sighed and lowered his head, grabbed the tea bowl and poured it again, and smiled bitterly at the old servant beside him.

"Among His Majesty's heirs, except for the ten princes who are still in infancy, the remaining nine have already passed the age of being crowned kings."

"Now that Your Majesty has succeeded to the throne of the emperor, the first year of the change, and the princes will be crowned kings, which should be within two years of this year and tomorrow."

"Gongzi Peng Zu and Gongzi Sheng are already two of the sons who have relatively good reviews;"

"The old man is really worried, what will the other sons be like······"

Listening to Shen Tujia as if complaining, and as if talking to himself, he expressed all the doubts in his heart, and the old housekeeper had to laugh aside, and did not answer.

Shen Tujia's worries, the old housekeeper did not understand;

The character of the princes, the old butler did not understand;

As for what kind of disasters these princes may cause after they become kings, it is not in the old housekeeper's cognition.

The old housekeeper only knows: his own prince may just need some relief at this moment······

Thinking so, the old butler cautiously stepped forward and secretly looked at Shen Tujia's face;

After making sure that Shen Tujia didn't mean to be angry, the old housekeeper cautiously said: "The old slave thinks that with the presence of the prince and the marquis, there will be no chaos in this world." ”

"As for the two sons, even if their temperament is a little inappropriate, they have now worshiped the prince as a teacher;"

"And the prince and the marquis carefully taught, the two sons should also be able to restrain themselves in the future······"

Hearing the old butler's words, Shen Tujia just let out another long sigh, but he didn't let go of his worries and didn't speak again.

Some things are not as simple as they seem.

To be precise, Shen Tujia's worries are not all because of the hidden dangers revealed in the personalities of Liu Pengzu and Liu Sheng.

——Last month, Nei Shi Chao mistakenly relied on the support of Liu Qi, the son of heaven, and brazenly presented a piece of paper related to the fortunes of the country to Shang Chaotang!

And Yuan An, the first doctor to stand up and express his opposition to this matter, was sentenced to prison on the third day after this incident on the charge of 'accepting bribes from King Wu when he was the prime minister of Wu'!

Although Shen Tujia came forward to intercede and the Empress Dowager of the East Palace personally spoke, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, finally pardoned Yuan An's guilt, but he still pushed Yuan Ang to the end and demoted him to a commoner.

After Yuan Ang was demoted, only Prime Minister Shen Tujia was left who opposed Chao Cuo's letter of sparseness;

But it is the same as Yuan An: the day after Shen Tujia expressed his opposition to Chao Cuo in court, an order from Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was circulated in the palace, asking his son Liu Sheng to worship Shen Tujia as a teacher and go to Shen Tujia every day to study.

Shen Tujia knew in his heart that Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was thinking that he was too troublesome, so he wanted to find something to do for himself, instead of continuing to oppose Chao Cuo in the court.

But even though he knew the intentions of Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, it was still difficult for Shen Tujia to convince himself that he would no longer oppose Chao Cuo's appalling letter······

"Cutting the ······ of the Domain"

"Cutting the feudal strategy~"

"If you are not careful, the princes will rebel, the world will be in chaos, the war will be poisonous, and there will be no peace·········

Shaking his head and sighing with sorrow, he got up from his seat in the pavilion, and Shen Tujia finally put his hands behind his back, took two steps forward, and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

"Your Majesty, why do you have to listen to the wrong slander?"

"The old man's heart to serve the country, Your Majesty, why do you turn a blind eye······"

"Chao mistake's "Cutting the Domain" can make old ministers like Yuan Ang go to prison; Zhidu was only born as a Legalist and was the same as Chao Cuo's teacher, so he could be pardoned by His Majesty for capital crimes; ”

"Even the son Liu Sheng, the heir of the bloodline, can be used by His Majesty to kill chickens and monkeys and deter the government and the opposition·········"

With a gloomy expression, Shen Tujia finally exhaled with a wry smile, and his eyes quietly turned red.

But soon, the pain of not being trusted by Liu Qi gradually turned into a touch of determination and firmness under the reflection of that round of bright moon.

"Go and tell the two sons: Tomorrow, you don't have to come to the Hou Mansion."

"-Even if the old man fights this old bone, he must not let His Majesty continue to make mistakes!"

"I just don't know if the Empress Dowager still has the heart to dissuade Her Majesty······"
