"Hiss~"

Weiyang Palace, the side hall of the Xuanshu Palace.

Feeling the burning pain coming from the corner of his mouth, Chao Cuo only gasped for a while, but he never gave up his face and said the 'light';

In front of Chao Cuo, Zhonglang General Zhidu was ordered by Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, to carefully wipe the wound for Chao Cuo.

- Mainly bruises on the face.

As for where Chao Cuo was injured in addition to his face, it is not difficult to guess from Chao Cuo's not arched waist and his forehead that breaks out in cold sweat from time to time.

"Shen Tu Jia's villain!"

"These are all empty faces!"

"The real chapter under the fists and feet is all greeted in three ways!!"

"Hiss~~~"

Gritting his teeth and cursing, Chao Cuo finally couldn't bear the pain anymore, subconsciously shrank his face back, arched his waist, and twisted his back with a distorted face.

There are 2,000 stones in the hall, and the internal history of the head of the Nine Qings is wrong, but he puts on a 'painful' look in front of him, even Zhi Du, who has never smiled in front of outsiders, can't help but let out a chuckle.

"Chao Gong's skills are taught and learned by martial artists, and he competes and learns from others to grow."

"But the prime minister's fists and feet are all in the battle array, one punch and one kick, one fight and one sword, and even one tooth and one claw."

"Martial artists will compete and compete, and they will naturally stop at the point; But on the battlefield, there are not many 'gentlemen's covenants'. ”

"The real killing skills are mostly vulgar, but they can always be taken by surprise and easily cause great damage to the enemy in a very short period of time······"

Listening to Zhi Du explain to himself the difference between 'flower frame style' and 'killing technique', Chao Cuo only felt a dull pain between his legs, and suddenly it became more intense;

Hunched down and half-squatted, his trembling hands supported his knees, and the corners of his forehead, which were already covered with beads of sweat, faintly burst into one green tendon after another······

"Hmm!"

"Hmm······"

"Shentu Jia ·········"

“emmmmmm！！！”

In this way, Chao Cuo gritted his teeth for a while, moaned for a while, squatted down for a while, and tried to stand up again;

I don't know how long it took for Chao Cuo to finally recover from the pain of 'broken eggs';

wiped the cold sweat from the corners of his forehead with embarrassment, and then turned around with an embarrassed face, and gave up his hand to Zhi Du slightly.

"General Zhonglang, see ······ smiled"

Stiffly smiled and said a word, Chao Cuo carefully moved his steps, and knelt down on the side of the feast;

Seeing this, Zhi Du hesitated again and again, and finally gave up his plan to say goodbye, and naturally stepped forward and sat on Chao Cuo's side.

"Before, I haven't had time to thank Gong Chao."

He said softly, but he was so troubled that he waved his hand again and again.

"It doesn't matter."

"That incident was originally played by Gongzi Sheng."

"The contemptible people really can't look past it, so they speak up in front of Your Majesty······"

Speaking casually, Chao Cuo took another deep breath to make sure that the injury under his crotch was okay, and then turned sideways thoughtfully.

"But that incident, Zhi Zhonglang, is indeed a bit Meng Lang."

"No matter what, the son is still His Majesty's heir, and the Queen Mother is His Majesty's biological mother;"

"Although Zhi Zhonglang is reasonable, he should not be so tough on the son and the queen mother."

"After all, as courtiers, we should solve problems for Your Majesty, not make Your Majesty embarrassed?"

Hearing this, Zhi Du only nodded slightly ashamedly, and gave up his hand slightly.

"Chao Gong is vigilant, and a certain person should be remembered."

Seeing Chao Cuo sighing lightly, he waved his hand to signal Zhi Du to sit down, lowered his head and thought about it, and then sighed inexplicably.

"Alas~"

"The policy of cutting the domain is a big policy that I have been thinking about for many years and came up with for the society of the country;"

"Your Majesty and I have also been preparing for many years in order to cut the feudal domain."

"But now, the prime minister is obstructing this matter in every way, and even His Majesty is helpless against the prime minister······"

Speaking with sorrow, Chao Cuo did not forget to smile bitterly and shook his head.

"Previously, His Majesty also took advantage of the incident between Gongzi Sheng and Zhi Zhonglang to send Gongzi Sheng to the prime minister."

"-In order to let the prime minister have no time to take care of him, stop staring at "Cutting Domain" all day long;"

"It's a pity that Your Majesty has good intentions, but the prime minister doesn't appreciate it at all."

"If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the prime minister will also follow the old path of Zhang Cang, the Marquis of Beiping······"

Hearing this, Zhi Du also nodded thoughtfully, and then lowered his head.

Zhang Cang, Marquis of Beiping, was the last prime minister before Shentu Jia, and he was also born as a founding father, and he was the imperial history of the Qin court, that is, a librarian, and a disciple of Xunzi.

The exploits of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen during his reign were almost all completed during Zhang Cang's tenure;

Once upon a time, Emperor Xiaowen and Zhang Cang were also models of 'gentlemen, ministers, and virtuous people, complementing each other'.

It's a pity that in the end, Zhang Cang had a dispute with Emperor Xiaowen because of Emperor Xiaowen's 'Huanglong to change the Yuan', and he was stubborn and didn't give Emperor Xiaowen a step down at all;

In desperation, Emperor Xiaowen could only let Zhang Cang, Marquis of Beiping, become the first prime minister to be deposed by the emperor since the Han Dynasty.

——Before Zhang Cang, the prime ministers of the Han family, without exception, died of old age in office!

As for the successors, they were all recommended to the emperor by each generation of Han ministers before they died.

For example, the first prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Marquis Xiao He, recommended Pingyang Marquis Cao Shen; Before Cao Shen died, he recommended Wang Ling, Marquis of Anguo, and Chen Ping, Marquis of Qu Rebellion.

and then to the Marquis Zhou Bo after Chen Ping, and the Marquis of Yingyin after Zhou Bo······

Including Zhang Cang, the Marquis of Beiping, himself, was also recommended to Emperor Xiaowen of Taizong before the death of the previous prime minister.

But Zhang Cang was deposed, and naturally lost the power to 'recommend a successor';

Emperor Taizong Xiaowen thought about it, and in desperation, he could only pull the general from the dwarf and chose Shen Tujia as the prime minister.

Under the unspoken rule of the Han family that 'if you are not a marquis, you can't be a prime minister', Emperor Taizong even adopted a special way of enshrined Shen Tujia as a thorough wait in the morning and worshiped Shen Tujia as prime minister in the afternoon.

And now, Shen Tujia's attitude on the matter of "Cutting the Domain" is also very similar to the scene of Zhang Cang's saber rattling with Emperor Xiaowen on the matter of Huanglong's change of the Yuan······

"Alas~"

"Although Shen Tujia is stubborn, he is also an old minister, and he has made contributions to Sheji."

"Although I have a dispute with him, I don't want Shen Tujia to follow the old path of Beiping Hou."

Zhi Du was thinking about it, and there was a wrong sigh in his ears, so he couldn't help but raise his head.

Seeing Chao Cuo's earnest words, he said: "We scholars from the Legalist family should have taken the will of the monarch as the primary goal, and we should not get too close in private. ”

"But Cheng has tried every means to obstruct the "Cutting Strategy", and I really have no choice;"

"I just ask Your Majesty, in this Xuanshu Palace, and Zhi Zhonglang for a while······"

As he spoke, Chao Cuo stood up and bowed to Zhi Du with sincerity.

"I hope Zhi Zhonglang can help me out of consideration for the temple and the community."

"Let Your Majesty be able to eradicate the princes of the clan and stabilize the Kanto region, and at the same time, it will also prevent Shen Tujia from ending up in a bleak night······"
