Chapter 041: The trio
"All stand down!"
Returning to his palace, Liu Rong only let out a low sigh, and retreated from all the palace people in the palace.
In the palace, the second Liu De and the third Liu Yan have been waiting for a long time.
"Big brother."
Seeing Liu Rong return to the hall, the two brothers only got up together and were about to bow to Liu Rong, but when they saw Liu Rong waving his hand irritably, they sat down on the main seat of the head.
"Mother's side, there's no way anymore;"
"The imperial grandmother and aunt are completely offended."
Almost at the moment when his butt hit the seat, Liu Rong went straight to the point with a suffocated voice;
It was also at this moment that the three sons, who were mediocre, well-written, and wriggling, in the impression of outsiders, finally revealed their true colors in front of each other.
——On the throne, the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong frowned, and his expression was only grim!
The first guest seat on the left-hand side, in the hands of Liu De, the second son of the emperor, did not see the scriptures that he couldn't put down in the past, and only lowered his head thoughtfully, secretly thinking about something.
On Liu De's side, Liu Yan, the third child who is known as 'not liking to see in front of people', has a faint gloomy color on his face.
The three brothers sat and thought, but for a long time no one spoke.
For what their mother Kurihime did, the three brothers felt like eating flies, extremely uncomfortable, and they couldn't say it at all.
Especially the second Liu De, for his mother's help these times, he only felt helpless and helpless······
"Let's talk about it first."
After being silent for a long time, Liu Rong, who finally sat upright, spoke first, then rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, and then moved his upper body forward, looking at Liu Yan with extremely strong eyes.
was named by his brother, Liu Yan didn't see the usual resignation at all, only took a deep breath, and then told his opinion.
"If the mother doesn't listen to persuasion, it's not easy for us to say anything as sons;"
"But if the eldest brother says that the imperial grandmother will be offended by us to death, I'm afraid it's too early to say."
Speaking in a steady tone, Liu Yan couldn't help lowering his head, and after a moment of silence, he raised his head again.
"Among the clan relatives, it is not only the aunt who can speak in front of the imperial grandmother;
"And in addition to the clan relatives, there are also people in the court who can speak well for the eldest brother by the side of the imperial grandmother."
Hearing this, Liu Rong's tightly locked brows also loosened slightly, and the second Liu De's eyes lit up.
"The meaning of the third child ······"
"King Liang?"
But seeing Liu Yan nodding slightly, he shook his head slightly: "It's not just Uncle Liang. ”
"Among the princes, Xiao Jiu is close to the East Palace, and he was even given a palace card by the emperor's grandmother to be able to enter and leave the Changle Palace freely;"
"Among the courtiers, Yuan An, who has been dismissed by his father and dismissed, can also have a relationship with the East Palace."
"As long as these three people can be used by the eldest brother, the matter of the aunt will not hurt the relationship between the eldest brother and the East Palace."
When the words fell, Liu Rong and Liu De looked at each other for a moment, and then nodded in unison.
In the final analysis, it was not directly offended the Empress Dowager Dou, but offended the Empress Dowager Dou's heart: Princess Guantao Liu prostitution;
Since the three brothers have no way to recover from the matter of Liu Yan, it is not a good choice to start with the other 'hearts and livers' of the Empress Dowager Dou.
It's just that the three candidates proposed by Liu Yan made Liu De feel a little tricky.
"Big brother."
Seeing that Liu De thought for a moment, he looked up at Liu Rong, and pointed to his younger brother Liu Yan beside him.
"What the third said does make sense;"
"But these three people, the eldest brother still has to be careful."
"If not, it is very likely that you will not succeed in stealing chickens, and you will lose rice."
The slightly suspicious words caused Liu Rong's brows to furrow again, and Liu De also took a deep breath.
"Uncle Liang Wang is indeed close to the imperial grandmother's mother, and may even be more able to change the imperial grandmother's opinion than his aunt;"
"But right now, the court is about to promote the "Cutting Domain", and Uncle Liang Wang is stationed outside Hangu Pass, and he is the stability of the temple and the society."
"At such a delicate juncture, if the eldest brother rashly befriends King Liang, he may be misunderstood by his father."
"Even if my father didn't misunderstand, it was inevitable that someone with a heart would take advantage of this matter to attack the eldest brother, in order to regain the position of the prince."
As he spoke, Liu De's face became more and more serious.
"As for Yuan An, it's the same thing."
"——Now above the court, the ministers of the hundred officials and ministers do not dare to make mistakes at all;
"My father made up his mind to cut the domain, and Prime Minister Shen Tujia was deeply disgusted by my father because of this matter."
"And Yuan Ang is the only one other than Shen Tujia who stood up and opposed Chao Cuo's implementation of the "Cutting Domain".
"It is precisely because of this that Yuan Ang was casually excused by his father, dismissed from office, and demoted to a white body."
"If the eldest brother is close to Yuan An, it is likely to be misinterpreted by his father or someone with a heart as the eldest son of the emperor has the intention to prevent the "Cutting Strategy"."
"This is by no means a good thing for the big brother."
"As for Xiao Jiu······"
In the end, Liu De's face once again brought the depressed look of Liu Rong when he first returned to the hall.
"Previously, when Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu apprenticed to the prime minister, my mother was furious."
"Although in the end, Dou Zhan's background resolved this matter, but between our Phoenix Hall and the Guangming Palace, it can be regarded as an extra bit of estrangement;"
"If the eldest brother wants to borrow Xiao Jiu's hand to save the East Palace, I'm afraid he will have to put more thought into it."
"At the very least, let Xiao Jiu settle down, and no longer have to worry about Mrs. Jia being bullied by her mother in the future, so that it is possible to help the eldest brother and speak well by the emperor's grandmother."
Listening to the second brother Liu De's in-depth analysis, Liu Rong's face was still gloomy;
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally raised the corners of his eyebrows and glanced at Liu De on his side.
"Go on."
Seeing that Liu De heard this, he took a deep breath again, and forced himself to throw out all the complaints about his mother Li Ji in his mind, and then looked at Liu Rong again.
"Uncle Liang, brother can try."
"King Liang has always been fond of literature, and even in the Liang Palace, Suiyang, he raised hundreds of scribes, chanting poems all day long;"
"Starting from this aspect, brother, maybe you can win the support of King Liang for your eldest brother."
After saying that, Liu De turned sideways again and pointed to the third child Liu Yan beside him.
"On weekdays, the third child shows his 'weak' face, and no one will suspect him even if he does something."
"So Yuan Ang's side, you can let the third child fight for it."
"Whether or not you can win Yuan An, everyone will only think: Liu Yan, the third son of the emperor, is grandstanding;"
"Absolutely no one will think that the third child has the intention to oppose the "Cutting Domain", and no one will ever associate this matter with the eldest brother."
In the end, Liu De couldn't help but take a deep breath, then looked at his eldest brother Liu Rong, and let out a long sigh leisurely.
"As for Xiao Jiu······"
"I'm afraid, the eldest brother will have to go out in person······"
