"Minister!"

"Beggar Bone !!"

returned to the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace again, and bluntly signaled to Liu Qiping, the son of heaven, to retreat, and Shen Tujia resolutely said a word and handed over the begging watch.

- This is the last dignity that Shen Tujia left for himself;

It is also the last trace of friendship between himself and Liu Qi······

Unexpectedly, when Liu Qi heard this, he looked at Shen Tujia with a complicated face for a while, and then slowly walked down the imperial steps and gently helped Shen Tujia who was kneeling on the ground up;

led Shen Tujia to the side of the hall and sat down, and Liu Qi sat down in front of Shen Tujia with a serious expression.

"What does the prime minister mean by this?"

"Could it be that last night's incident made the prime minister still unable to dispel his anger and still be dissatisfied with me?"

Hearing this, Shen Tujia shook his head without hesitation, and there was a hint of relief on his face.

"The minister once heard that if you get along well with your friends, then you should have more contacts; If you don't get along, you should have less contact. ”

"Because there are fewer contacts, there will be fewer disputes;"

"Coupled with the longing for each other, it will overshadow the disputes that have occurred, and the friendship can be deepened again."

Speaking with emotion, Shen Tujia couldn't help but smile and shake his head again, looking at Liu Qi's gaze, he was even more relieved.

"The minister is bold, and compares the friendship between the minister and His Majesty to the friendship between friends;"

"In the minister's view, between the minister and His Majesty, it may have reached the point of 'less contact, more thoughts'······"

After that, Shen Tujia shook his head and sighed again, then lowered his head and took out a bloodstained beige handkerchief from his arms;

When the handkerchief was handed to Liu Qi, Shen Tujia's grinning mouth revealed a blank space that should have been occupied by teeth.

"-Minister, old ······"

"I'm so old that I can't bite the meat and can't speak······"

"Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, and the minister only hates that he was born at the wrong time, and he was not born a few years later;"

"I only hate myself for not being able to do more for Your Majesty, for Emperor Xiaowen of the first Taizong, and take care of the temple and Sheji for a few more years;"

"But now, the minister is over seventy years old."

"If you don't go back to your hometown, Lao Chen, I'm afraid you won't see your hometown again······"

The tone was full of sincerity, and Shen Tujia finally bowed to Liu Qi again, and handed the begging table to him again;

But Shen Tujia's actions made Liu Qi quite unexpected, and for a while, he was a little at a loss······

What is going on on with the outer wall of the Taimiao?

- In the whole world, only Liu Qi and Chao Cuo know!

To be precise, only these two living people know.

But Liu Qi is extremely sure: he never thought of kicking Shen Tujia off the position of prime minister by any means!

At the beginning, Liu Qi wanted to persuade;

persuaded Shen Tujia to change his mind and support himself in cutting the domain.

Later, after discovering that Shen Tujia would not waver at all, Liu Qi only had the idea of 'coercion'.

But even if it is coercion, what Liu Qi wants is to make Shen Tujia shut up, remain silent on the matter of "Cutting the Domain", and stop going against himself.

And at this moment, when Shen Tujia personally found him and said the 'beggar bones' as if he were fake, Liu Qi, who should have been overjoyed, couldn't help frowning slightly······

"Xu Gongqing, saying goodbye to the old man and returning to his hometown is indeed what I should do;"

"But let the prime minister die in his old age, except for the Marquis of Beiping, there is no precedent."

"The prime minister wants to tell the old man, I'm afraid I can't agree."

Speaking in a deep voice, Liu Qi hesitated, but his eyes were quietly locked on Shen Tujia's face, as if he didn't want to miss any subtle change in expression on Shen Tujia's face.

Shen Tujia didn't notice Liu Qi's gaze, just let out another long sigh leisurely, and then raised his head with a light smile.

"Since Emperor Taizu Gao, the Han family has had the practice of first doing Jiuqing, then leveling the internal history, then serving as the imperial historian, and finally paying homage to the prime minister;"

"After the minister tells the old man, His Majesty should naturally worship the imperial doctor - Kaifeng Hou Taoqing as the prime minister."

"As for Chao Cuo, since he has been appointed by His Majesty as the internal history, it must be His Majesty's intention to let Chao Cuo serve as Prime Minister in the future;"

"This time, Tao Qing has become the prime minister, and Chao Cuo can also fill the vacancy of the imperial historian, more smoothly implement the "Cutting Domain", and prepare for the promotion from the imperial historian to the prime minister in the future."

Without hesitation, Shen Tujia thought about it for a while, and did not forget to add at the end: "If Your Majesty is not satisfied with Tao Qing and wants to let other people be prime ministers, then you can also tell the minister directly." ”

"-My Han family has always had the tradition of appointing the next prime minister from the previous prime minister;"

"If the person of Your Majesty's choice is capable enough to assume the responsibility of the prime minister, the minister will personally go to the table and ask His Majesty to pay homage to the person he likes and be the successor of the minister······"

Hearing this, especially hearing that Shen Tujia had begun to think about his successor, Liu Qi finally determined: Shen Tujia's begging bones, I'm afraid it's not 'retreating as advance', but really wanting to resign and say goodbye.

Realizing this, Liu Qi only felt an inexplicable boredom, so he stood up and took several deep breaths irritably.

"Prime Minister, why do you have to get along with Chao Cuo and "Cutting Domain"?"

"In order to get the support of the prime minister, I have worked hard to give the prime minister enough respect!"

"Why can't the prime minister help me cut down the feudal domain and pacify the Kanto region?!!

In the end, Liu Qi's tone was already a little resentful.

But at this moment, Shen Tujia was already dead to Liu Qi······

Seeing that Shen Tujia heard this, he shook his head with a helpless smile, then stood up too, panted, and bowed to Liu Qi.

"The possible consequences of the "Cutting Domain", the minister, have already told His Majesty."

"—and more than once, not just a dozen, if not dozens."

"The minister knows that His Majesty is ambitious and wants to solve the problem of the Huns invading the border and harassing the border people as soon as possible, so he is so eager to stabilize the interior and stabilize the Kanto."

"But even so, the minister still thinks that Chao Wrong's "Cutting Domain" is too eager to succeed, and the impact is too big;"

"The object of cutting the feudal domain is more than a dozen princes of the Kwantung clan, almost all of which are covered!"

"Once the "Cutting Domain" is implemented, then in the next step, Your Majesty will probably have to prepare to deal with the largest rebellion of the princes since the Han Dynasty······"

Speaking of the possible catastrophic consequences of "Cutting the Domain", Shen Tujia's gloomy gaze flashed a little light;

But soon, that essence of light disappeared in a flash like Liu Qi's 'benevolence'······

"Your Majesty wants to cut the feudal domain, and the minister understands Your Majesty's intentions, and he does not object;"

"But Chao Wrong's "Cutting Domain", the minister, really can't agree."

"Since Your Majesty has made up his mind to implement the "Cutting Domain" policy, and the minister categorically has no possibility of agreeing with the "Cutting Domain" policy, it is better to let the minister die for the old age."

"It can be regarded as Your Majesty's mercy, leaving the last bit of dignity for the minister;"

"It can be regarded as the minister's final concession in the matter of "Cutting the Domain······"
