Chapter 019: The Disaster of Innocence~
When Shen Tujia sighed and even began to think about whether to risk death or not, at the other end of the carriage, Yuan Ang carefully observed Shen Tujia's reaction.
Speaking of Yuan Ang and Shen Tujia, they can be regarded as having some origins.
- About five or six years ago, Yuan Ang was transferred back to Chang'an from the position of Wu Guoxiang, and encountered Shen Tujia's carriage in the city;
Cheng was quite faced, Yuan Ang got out of the car solemnly and saluted, but Shen Tujia did not get out of the car, only arrogantly lifted the curtain and thanked Yuan An;
After that, Yuan Ang personally came to the door to find Shen Tujia, but was once again treated coldly by Shen Tujia, and waited outside the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time before waiting for the arrogant Shen Tujia.
After Shen Tujia appeared, Yuan Ang said: Please wave away others, I have something important to tell the prime minister.
Unexpectedly, Shen Tujia was still with an iron-faced and selfless posture, and said with an extremely arrogant attitude: If what you said is official business, please go to the official office to discuss with Changshi Peng, and I will report your opinion;
If it's a private matter, I don't accept private conversations, go back to where you came from.
Seeing that Shen Tujia was so arrogant, Yuan Ang knelt on the ground and persuaded Shen Tujia bitterly.
And in the end, Shen Tujia also realized that his arrogance might cause trouble for himself, and finally sincerely thanked him: I am a vulgar and vulgar person, but I am not smart, and I am fortunate to be taught by the general.
Since then, Yuan An, the middle doctor, has become the only guest in the former Anhou Mansion, and the only special existence who can meet Shen Tujia because of 'private matters'.
Although Shen Tujia has always been iron-faced and selfless, the personal relationship between the two is not very close, but after so many years of getting along, Yuan Ang has almost become Shen Tujia's only friend.
To be precise, in the entire government and the opposition, except for Chao Cuo and Chao Cuo's 'junior brother' Zhidu, almost everyone is a friend of Yuan An;
And today, Yuan Ang rarely took the initiative to ask to ride with Shen Tujia, just to discuss with Shen Tujia how to kick Chao Cuo, a person who is 'unwilling to be friends with him', out of the court······
Thinking of this, Yuan An's eyes flickered, and the draft that had already been typed was immediately placed in front of Shen Tujia.
"The prime minister thinks that if the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager do not come forward, will Your Majesty change his mind and abolish the wrong "Cutting Domain"?"
asked coldly, but provoked Shen Tujia to shake his head and sigh again.
"If it weren't for the persuasion of the two queen mothers, my majesty's mind would probably not have changed······
Hearing this, Yuan Ang only nodded slightly, and then asked: "Does the prime minister have the confidence to prevent His Majesty from implementing the "Cutting Domain" policy under the premise that the two queen mothers do not come forward?" ”
As soon as this question came out, Shen Tujia shook his head again and again, and the sad look on his face couldn't overflow the carriage.
"If it comes to that point, even if the old man fights to the death, he will prevent His Majesty from taking the country as a child's play;"
"But the discord between the monarch and the prime minister is also a disaster for the world······"
Hearing the helplessness in Shen Tujia's tone, Yuan Ang nodded again, and finally asked again.
"Then the prime minister thinks that if there is a way for the Queen Mother to come forward and persuade His Majesty not to implement the "Cutting Domain", will His Majesty listen?"
As soon as these words came out, I saw Shen Tujia raise his head suddenly, and his wide eyes looked straight at Yuan An!
After seeing the confidence on Yuan An's face, the words when the two met for the first time were finally said by Shen Tujia again.
"I was born in the ranks, and I am a vulgar person."
"If Dr. Yuan can help me think of a way, I will definitely not forget this kindness!"
saw Yuan Ang politely stretched out his hand, helped Shen Tujia who bowed his hand up, and muttered for a moment.
Then, a terrifying plan was laid out in front of Shen Tujia.
"The prime minister may not know: unlike the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is not always able to distinguish right from wrong, and the Queen Mother often believes what the people around her say."
"The closer someone is to what he says, the easier it is for the Queen Mother to obey."
"Now, I am far from being able to move the Queen Mother to persuade Her Majesty to abolish the "Cutting Domain".
"But for the Queen Mother, there are still a lot of people who are closer to me than me······"
Yuan Ang said in one sentence, and Shen Tujia suddenly fell into thought.
Regarding Yuan An's statement that 'the Queen Mother can't tell right from wrong', Shen Tujia actually doesn't agree very much;
But for Empress Dowager Dou's comment of 'soft ears', even if Shen Tujia wanted to refute it, he had no way to start.
Take the incident some time ago, when Gongzi Liu Sheng punched Zhonglang Jiangzhi Du, he changed others, but I am afraid that no matter what, I will have to go to the Imperial Prison;
But precisely because the 'perpetrator' was the son Liu Sheng, the Empress Dowager Dou did not punish too harshly in the end.
To put it bluntly, in most cases, Empress Dowager Dou can still distinguish right from wrong, right and wrong.
It's just that on this basis, Empress Dowager Dou will be slightly partial to the side she is close to because of her emotions;
That's all.
As for Yuan An's meaning, Shen Tujia also understood it: Since I am not enough to make the Queen Mother change her mind, then find someone who is closer to the Queen Mother than me.
And such people······
"Princess Guantao?"
Speaking of a person who changed color when he heard it in the Chang'an court, Shen Tujia's face couldn't help but feel a touch of discomfort.
Princess Liu Concubine of Guantao is the eldest sister of Liu Qi, the son of heaven, and was also born to the Empress Dowager Dou;
But for this arrogant and domineering eldest princess who always 'snatches' property from the Shaofu and the treasury, it is difficult for Shen Tujia to convince herself not to hate this person.
Fortunately, after hearing the words 'Princess Guantao', Yuan Ang did not nod, but shook his head helplessly and smiled.
"The prime minister is blind, obviously there are such people around him, but he can't see it at all······"
Hearing the deep meaning of Yuan An's words, Shen Tujia took a deep breath, and finally lowered his face a little.
"We stopped Chao Cuo in order to repay Emperor Taizong Xiaowen for his kindness and ensure that the temple and the community were not destroyed by villains like Chao Cuo;"
"Even if Your Majesty is angry because of this, it is our duty as courtiers."
"But Gongzi Katsu is the son of His Majesty, and he is still my student; In the future, he will also be crowned as a prince. ”
"In order to achieve the goal, using students to persuade the Queen Mother, causing the prince to be disgusted by His Majesty, this is probably not what a fair and upright person should do."
"If because of this incident, Your Majesty will be angry with Gongzi, and finally send Gongzi to a bad place like Changsha to be the king, I will also live in self-blame for the rest of my life."
Righteously expressing his attitude, Shen Tujia pursed his lips and put on a posture of 'don't persuade anymore';
But after Yuan An's next sentence, Shen Tujia's firmness was suddenly knocked to pieces······
"Is there any other way besides Childe and Prime Minister?"
