"Alas~Slow down, slow down~"

"Don't go up and down, go slower, be gentle."

Early the next morning, outside the edict.

Liu Sheng, who had not recovered from his serious injuries, hung his left arm around his neck with a cloth roll and sat on a 'palanquin' composed of a recliner and two bamboo sticks.

Liu Pengzu commanded carefully on the side of the sedan chair, always reminding several palace people who carried the sedan chair, so that the sedan chair would not be bumpy.

Seeing the two brothers walking out of the prison, Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor who was waiting outside the cell early, also hurriedly stepped forward and came to Liu Sheng's other side with a smile.

Not far away, Prime Minister Shen Tujia stood on the side of his carriage, looking at Liu Sheng and Liu Pengzu, as if he was relieved······

"Let's go to the teacher's house first."

"There are some things I want to talk to the teacher about."

With a gentle request, Liu Pengzu nodded at the moment, and then commanded the palace people carrying the sedan chair to walk towards Shangguanli's hometown Anhou Mansion;

And the emperor's eldest son, Liu Rong, also quietly followed after a short period of thought······

·

Therefore, Anhou Mansion, inside the pavilion.

It is obviously a very familiar place, but it makes Liu Sheng feel like a different world at this moment, as if he has not been here for many years;

Liu Pengzu on the side was also full of embarrassment, looking at the pavilion that the two brothers had often been in and out of in the past six months, but he had a look of 'revisiting his hometown'.

Liu Rong, on the other hand, seemed to be a little surprised by Liu Sheng's initiative to invite, and knelt beside Liu Sheng with a slightly restrained expression.

On the opposite side of the three brothers, Shen Tujia sat down with ease, and between his eyebrows, he was relieved······

"Since the son has been freed from the predicament, the old man ······"

"It's precisely because of this that I'm here today."

Before Shen Tujia finished speaking, Liu Sheng interrupted with some rudeness;

When Shen Tujia recovered from his stunnedness, Liu Sheng also clarified his intention without beating around the bush.

"Yesterday, my father went to prison;"

"My father hopes that the prime minister can stay in office for a while."

"Xu is reluctant to get the prime minister, or maybe he wants to get the prime minister's support."

Hearing this, Shen Tujia only shook his head and smiled bitterly, then raised his head and looked at Liu Sheng very firmly.

"The old man has already talked to His Majesty about this matter."

"For "Cutting the Domain", the old man really can't turn a blind eye;"

"And Your Majesty has already made up his mind to implement the "Cutting Domain" policy."

"Since Your Majesty doesn't listen to the persuasion of the old man, and the old man can't be persuaded by His Majesty, it's better to say goodbye to the old man than to be an eyesore in Chang'an, enjoy the joy of your children and grandchildren around your knees, and take care of your ······old age."

Hearing the firmness in Shen Tujia's tone, the faces of the three brothers were also full of reluctance and worry.

The public opinion of the Taimiao incident, under the deliberate suppression of Liu Qi, the son of heaven, has long disappeared from the streets of Chang'an;

Especially after the culprits - Liu Pengzu and Liu Sheng were released, this matter can be regarded as a not too happy end.

But there is no impermeable wall under the sky.

Even if Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, did not agree, the news of Prime Minister Shen Tujia's begging bones has spread all over the government and the opposition.

For Shen Tujia's move, the court officials can be described as mixed;

- Happily, it was Shen Tujia's 'concession' that may have avoided a fierce conflict between Liu Qi, the son of heaven, and the prime minister of the current dynasty;

The worry is that after Shen Tujia 'retreated', Chao mistakenly implemented the "Cutting Domain", and I am afraid that there will be no resistance.

For Shen Tujia, the situation seems to be very clear.

Liu Qi, the son of heaven, has to cut the feudal domain, and he has to implement the wrong "Cutting Domain";

And Shen Tujia categorically could not allow Tianzi Qi to carry out this 'chaotic life' that was likely to ruin Liu Hansheji's life under his nose.

The contradiction between the monarch and the minister cannot be reconciled, so it can only be the end of Shen Tujia's departure at this time.

- You can't let Liu Qi, the son of heaven, abdicate because of this, right?

But for this matter, Liu Sheng, the ninth son of the emperor, has a different opinion······

"The teacher should also think that my father is a qualified emperor, right?"

Leng Buding said a word, which made Liu Rong and Liu Pengzu beside him look shocked, but when they saw Liu Sheng's face, they were still indifferent;

Seeing Shen Tujia's puzzled face, Liu Sheng smiled again and pouted at Liu Rong beside him.

"When the student was released from prison, the father did not forget to send the eldest brother to pick him up, so as to show the image of the emperor's eldest son's 'friendly younger brother', and prepare for the future canonization of the prince;"

"From this point of view, in fact, the father is definitely not mediocre?"

"What does the teacher think?"

was stunned by Liu Sheng's straightforward words, but he was extremely calm, and Liu Rong's eyebrows couldn't help but feel bitter.

Of course, Liu Rong understands that he came to pick up Liu Sheng and Liu Pengzu today, because Liu Qi, the son of heaven, wants to take this opportunity to create a personal image for Liu Rong and prepare for the future.

Not only does Liu Rong understand, but anyone who is clear-eyed can also see the intention of Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven.

It's just that Liu Rong didn't expect that this 'can only be understood, not spoken' thing would be put on the table by Liu Sheng in such a grand manner!

What Liu Rong expected was even more unexpected: Liu Sheng's openness not only made him feel unhappy, but he was inexplicably relieved of his younger brother······

"Childe, what exactly do you want to say?"

While thinking about it, Shen Tujia's deep voice came into his ears, which also provoked Liu Rong to hurry back to his senses and focus all his attention on what was in front of him.

——For Liu Rong, the opportunity to be alone with Prime Minister Shen Tujia can be said to be unavoidable!

Even if it is just an opportunity to listen to Shen Tujia say a few words, it is a rare opportunity for Liu Rong, who is about to be appointed as a prince.

Seeing that Shen Tujia was still in a posture of 'no need to persuade again', Liu Sheng also shook his head and smiled;

Then, Liu Sheng looked at Shen Tujia's gaze, and he was full of openness.

"My father promised me: If the prime minister is willing to stay in office, he can seal me and my brother in two adjacent feudal kingdoms, and allow me to freely enter and leave my brother's feudal kingdom so that I can visit my mother."

"If the prime minister does not stay in office, he will seal me to Changsha and my brother to Yanguo, and my brothers are separated by tens of thousands of miles, so that I will never see my mother's face."

"But my character, the teacher should understand."

"I won't force the teacher to stay in Chang'an for my own sake, and watch the chaotic fate of Chao mistake, pulling the temple and Sheji into the abyss of no return."

said this sincerely, and saw Liu Sheng turn his head again.

"But the teacher should also think about it: what will the court look like after the teacher leaves?"

"Regardless of whether the teacher leaves or not, the implementation of the "Cutting Strategy" is already a foregone conclusion;"

"Why don't you think about it, teacher: if you change to Kaifeng Hou Taoqing to become the prime minister, Chao mistakenly becomes the imperial doctor, and the Chang'an court, what kind of scene will it be?"

"After the implementation of the "Cutting Domain", the princes of the clan rebelled, and what kind of hardships and dangers will the temples and societies face?"

"——It must be the miasma of the court, and the temple and the society are in danger of subversion!"

"In this case, is the teacher willing to stay in Chang'an and take care of the Zongmiao Sheji for Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizong Xiaowen?"

"Or go back to your own feudal country and say that it is 'living for a long time', but in fact, you are witnessing the sinking of the society?"
