Yu broke up unhappily in the beast circle, and Tianzi Qi did not dare to delay, so he came to the palace where the Empress Dowager Dou was located non-stop;

After saying all the good things, he scolded Yuan Gu with two sentences, and finally put the Empress Dowager Dou to sleep, and the Son of Heaven Qicai dragged his tired body to the side hall of the palace.

As for Liu Sheng and Liu Fei, they were also summoned to the front by the Son of Heaven.

It's just that when the two brothers came to the side hall where Tianziqi was full of anger, they found that Tianziqi at this time was full of exhaustion;

Sit on the couch, put one foot on the edge of the couch, prop your elbows on your upturned knees, and hold your palms in front of your forehead, kneading your temples incessantly.

Rao was dissatisfied with what Tianziqi did today, and seeing Tianziqi's appearance, Liu Sheng couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in his heart again.

Liu Fei, who was on the side, saw that the Son of Heaven had a posture of 'closing his eyes and recuperating', so he only came to the royal couch with Liu Sheng lightly and knelt down lightly;

Tentatively raised his head, seeing that Tianzi Qi still had the posture of opening, Liu Fei finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart anymore, and asked softly: "Eh, Xiao Jiu; ”

"Fang Cai, what is the matter with the emperor's grandmother's 'text for criminals and criminals'?"

"Why can't I understand?"

asked softly, Liu Fei did not forget to keep his voice down at all times, and looked at Tianziqi on the royal couch from time to time, as if he was afraid that his voice would be heard, and he was really a little unhappy.

Hearing this, Liu Sheng also subconsciously raised his head, and when he saw that Tianzi Qi did not react, he secretly thought about it for a while;

Sure that his next words belonged to the category of 'can be said in front of the Son of Heaven', Liu Sheng raised his head slightly and motioned for Liu Fei to come over.

"Before the reign of King Qin, the Kwantung countries had their own scripts, which was very inconvenient;"

"After the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, Qin Wangzheng decreed: All people in the world must use the same language."

"This kind of writing is the Qin seal, which is the small seal commonly used by my Han family today."

"But since the advent of the compilation book, Confucianism has always believed that this script is very unsightly, and it is not more simple than in the past;"

"After Emperor Taizu Gao established the Han Dynasty, Confucianism began to preach everywhere, saying that Lishu is a simpler and more practical font."

"But in the past, official documents have always been used as records of criminals and prisoners, and they have never entered the court and appeared in any formal setting."

"Therefore, it is contemptuously called Lishu, which is 'a special text for criminals and convicts';"

"As for Confucianism, which advocates and campaigns for official books, it is naturally called 'the exclusive knowledge of criminals and criminals'······"

whispered the meaning of Empress Dowager Dou's sentence 'Ande Sikong Chengdan Shuhu', and Liu Sheng raised his head for the first time;

But I saw Tianzi Qi sitting on the imperial couch, I don't know when, he had already opened his eyes, as if he was listening to Liu Sheng's words.

However, Liu Fei, who was beside Liu Sheng, didn't notice that Tianzi Qi had 'woken up', only nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "So, what does the imperial grandmother mean when she says this?" ”

"Is this to despise Confucianism, and incidentally to despise the stubbornness of learning Confucianism?"

Liu Fei's inquiring voice was heard in his ears, but he still couldn't pull Liu Sheng's attention back from Tianzi Qi, who had already opened his eyes;

After staring at Tianziqi for a while, seeing that Tianziqi still didn't speak, and even leaned his body towards his side, Liu Sheng slowly withdrew his gaze from Tianziqi.

"Today, the imperial grandmother wants to give her own teacher: Huang Sheng to vent her anger;"

"When I asked Yuan Gu to come, I just wanted to listen to Yuan Gu and say two soft words to myself, such as 'Confucianism is not as good as Huang Lao'."

"—But Yuan Gu not only doesn't know how to raise it, but also says that Huang Lao's doctrine is specially prepared for a stupid woman like the imperial grandmother!"

"Yuan Gu's sentence scolded the imperial grandmother and Huang Laoxue together, and the talented imperial grandmother used Confucianism to run for the official book as a response to Yuan Gu."

Hearing this, Liu Feicai finally let out a long 'oh~', and nodded slowly thoughtfully.

Only a moment later, I saw Liu Fei grit his teeth violently, and even punched the air in front of him!

"It's too much of a bully!"

"Relying on his own knowledge, even the imperial grandmother doesn't pay attention to it!"

"Father is really;"

"Such a corrupt Confucian who does not know the dignity and humility of the upper and lower levels, why should he be a high-ranking official and a generous ······"

Halfway through the words, Liu Fei finally reacted with hindsight: in his mouth, Tianzi Qi, who raised the corrupt Confucian and high-ranking official Houlu in Chang'an, seemed to be by his side······

He raised his head in panic, but saw that the profound gaze of the Son of Heaven had already fallen on him impartially······

"Father! Father! ”

"Erchen!"

"Erchen ······"

incoherently said a few words of "father" and "son", but he never came out of his mouth a complete sentence, Liu Fei simply stopped struggling, bowed his head like resignation, and waited anxiously for the sanction of fate.

But seeing that Tianzi Qi only stared at Liu Fei deeply for a moment, he turned his head indifferently and locked his eyes on Liu Sheng on the side.

"Didn't everyone in the palace say that Shenggongzi doesn't like to read on weekdays?"

"Why does Confucianism know so clearly about that thing?"

A slightly annoyed question, only to provoke Liu Sheng to sit up straight subconsciously, and replied without thinking about it: "Erchen doesn't like to read, but he likes to listen to stories; ”

"These stories were told by the prime minister to his sons in the past."

"The prime minister said: Take history as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses;"

"Only when you know the gains and losses, can you become a clan prince who is humble and courteous and does not cause chaos to the court in the future."

The watertight answer made Tianzi Qi withdraw his gaze indifferently, and let out a long sigh full of exhaustion, then shrugged his shoulders, sat on the royal couch, and was stunned by himself.

"Katsukomi is light;"

"——Take the Queen Mother to Shanglin Yuan, and you won't care about anything."

"The Queen Mother is angry, and Sheng Gongzi is just sitting on the side, and I don't know how to persuade me?"

Hearing this, Liu Sheng only shrugged helplessly.

"If the sons can persuade the imperial grandmother, they don't have to bother the imperial grandmother, and they have come all the way to this Shanglin Garden;"

"My father also explained before: if I can't persuade him, I will invite my grandmother to come to Lin Yuan, and my father will personally persuade him."

"Man, the retainer is invited;"

"Persuade, I still have to come in person."

It was another watertight reply, which made Tianzi Qi only subconsciously nodded;

After a while, Tianzi Qi was inexplicably annoyed and turned his head sideways.

"If you don't help me persuade me, it's fine;"

"-Why did you stop the fifth child when he wanted to stand up?!"

"Even if you let Na Gu be punched by the old five, it's better than throwing it into the beast pen?!!"

Seeing that Tianzi Qi asked sideways, his tone was clearly annoyed, and Liu Sheng simply stopped answering;

Turning sideways slightly, he hugged the fifth brother Liu Fei beside him with his shoulder: "Fifth brother tell my father by myself; ”

"What was the fifth brother going to do when he was going to stand up?"

The indifferent words also made the Son of Heaven turn his head and look at Liu Fei beside Liu Sheng;

But seeing Liu Fei raise his head, he was frightened by Tianziqi's fierce gaze and shrank his neck, but finally cautiously reached out and bowed his hand to Tianziqi.

"Father, Father's Atonement······"

"When the son saw that the old Confucian and the old man dared to insult the emperor's grandmother, he was really a little angry;"

"If it weren't for Xiao Jiu to stop him, Erchen would have thought and wanted to pick the old Confucian with a sword and speak wildly······"

Full of weakness, Liu Fei finally gave up resistance, and sat down on the ground, his eyes glazed and stunned;

——In Liu Fei's opinion, today, I am afraid that I will have to explain here······

Hearing Liu Fei's words, Tianzi Qi did not speak;

was stunned for a long time, and then he seemed to have lost his mind and began to laugh strangely······

"Hey ······"

"Hey······ hey"

"Okay~"

"In the blink of an eye, there is one more bastard among my sons······"

Listening to Tianziqi's ridicule mixed with strange laughter, Liu Fei only sighed and lowered his head deeper;

After reacting, Liu Fei's heart quietly gave birth to a trace of doubt.

- Again?

- Why did my father say again?

- Am I not the only bastard······

As a senior in the bastard world, Liu Sheng naturally knew nothing about the doubts in Liu Fei's heart.

Hearing Tianziqi's obvious words with a gun and a stick, and recalling the other side that Tianziqi showed in front of those veterans/farmers a few days ago, Liu Sheng finally stood up after thinking twice.

walked in front of the Son of Heaven, and bowed solemnly to the Son of Heaven according to the etiquette of the courtiers;

When Tianzi Qi raised his head suspiciously, Liu Shengcai knelt down in front of Tianzi Qi, and his face was also solemn.

"Today's incident, Erchen thinks, there is nothing wrong."

"The Doctor of Poetry is solid, and he doesn't care about his experience of reading the books of the sages and sages, regardless of his rank of two thousand stones;"

"——Just being born as a human being, you should know the truth of respecting the old and respecting the superior."

"But today, in front of his father, his sons, and his fifth brother, Yuan Gu belittled the queen mother of my Han family, the wife of Emperor Xiaowen of the first Taizong, and the biological mother of his father, as a village woman in the countryside."

"Such a move, let alone throwing Yuan Gu into the beast pen entirely;"

"—Even if it is chopped up and thrown into the pigsty one by one, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it!"

With a stern expression, Liu Sheng immediately surged a little anger on his face, turned his head slightly, and raised his head in Liu Fei's direction.

"As for the fifth brother, as the grandson of the emperor's grandmother, he saw with his own eyes that someone insulted his grandmother with such foul language in front of him;"

"If even like this, the fifth brother doesn't have the courage to draw his sword in anger and splash blood with five steps, then the fifth brother will be in vain."

After saying that, Liu Sheng turned around again, took a deep breath, and looked at Tianziqi's gaze, which was finally full of solemnity.

"As a son, I shouldn't blame my parents for their mistakes."

"But the sons are not only the sons of their fathers, but also the subordinates of their fathers."

"If you see your father's mistake and don't point it out immediately, it is against the way of a courtier;"

"If the father is accused in public by the courtiers with foreign surnames because of this mistake, it will be against the duty of being a son."

"Therefore, even after the son says these words, the father wants to give the son a cup of wine, and the son still has to say it."

"—Today's matter, Father, I did something wrong!"

"-Father should not allow that rotten Confucian to humiliate the imperial grandmother like that in front of his father!"

"—Because this is not only about the majesty of the emperor's grandmother, but also about the reputation of the father, and the prestige in the hearts of the courtiers!"

"If because of today's incident, let the hundreds of officials and ministers in the court think that the emperor is a monarch who is not filial to his mother, does not care whether his mother is insulted, and even connives, what will happen in the future?"

"Isn't it true that everyone has to learn from him, and want to ride on the head of the imperial grandmother to and pee, but there is no need to worry about the father and the emperor will punish and blame?"

With a firm expression on his face, he saw Liu Sheng raise his head fearlessly, and his gaze was matched with that of Tianzi Qi, who was sitting on the top.

After three full breaths, Liu Shengcai took another deep breath and kowtowed to Fu Sheng without pretentiousness.

"Erchen is finished;"

"If the father wants to give death, son, and thank the father first······"

Watching Liu Shengyang say his 'evidence of guilt', and bowing his head in front of him as if he were dead, the Son of Heaven was only uncertain for a while.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Fei, who had been on the side for a long time, cried in a low voice because 'the brothers are going to confess here today', and Tianzi Qi slowly opened his dry lips;

"Go;"

"Fetch me a bowl of water."

"Moisten your throat, I'll tell you this kid in detail."

Hearing this, Liu Sheng was only stunned for a moment, then got up indifferently and went to the outside of the hall to get a bowl of warm honey water;

On the side of the couch, Liu Fei was still immersed in the grief of 'about to die', crying breathlessly.

At this moment, Liu Sheng didn't care about comforting the fifth brother Liu Fei, he only gently put the warm water in his hand in front of Tianzi Qi, and then returned to his previous position and knelt down.

After the Son of Heaven poured a mouthful of honey water and exhaled comfortably, Liu Sheng sat up straight and quietly waited for the verdict of fate.

"Yuan Gu, it's Confucian;"

"It is the doctor personally appointed by Emperor Xiaowen of the former Taizong."

"Although his knowledge and character are very poor, he has a high status in the hearts of the scribes of the Kanto region."

"I know very well what it means to be a person;"

"—What Yuan Gu did today also made me angry!"

As he spoke, Tianzi Qi suddenly raised his voice, which finally startled Liu Fei next to the royal couch, and stopped his muffled sobbing by the way.

Seeing Tianzi Qi take a deep breath, suppress the anger in his chest a little, and then continue: "I also feel very disgusted with people like Yuan Gu. ”

"But in the early years, the first emperor once explained to me: unless it is a great crime such as rebellion and rebellion, you must not use power to punish a 'world-renowned' scribe like Yuan Gu."

"Even if a serious crime is committed, it cannot be punished without very strong evidence······

"-I'm not a very smart person;"

"Nor is he a very wise emperor."

"The first emperor's teachings, I can't fully understand them."

"But I know: the first emperor is right."

"Even if I don't understand, I must do my best to treat these disgusting scribes as the emperor instructed."

"It's not because of me, but also delusional about emulating Emperor Xiaowen of the former Taizong."

"It's for the sake of the stability of the Jongmyo and the shrine······"

In a tone as peaceful as possible, saying this half-humble, half-hypocritical scene, Tianziqi picked up the bowl again and took a sip;

didn't wait for Tianzi Qi to say the next sentence, but the words were picked up by Liu Sheng, who was kneeling in front of the royal couch.

"Erchen thinks that what Yuan Gu has done today is a great rebellion!"

"Father, son, and fifth brother have all witnessed this with their own eyes!"

"-Evidence~!"

"——Convince the people of the world, and will not think that I am 'killing the scribes' because of this evidence~!"

Without waiting for Liu Sheng's words to fall, he saw the Son of Heaven furrowing violently, and the water bowl in his hand was also put back into the imperial case in front of him!

After staring at Liu Sheng for a long time, Tianzi Qicai took another deep breath, suppressed his anger again, and finally added in a cold tone: "Don't say it again; ”

"This matter, that's the end of it."

"I'm not stupid enough to need my own son to teach me how to be filial to my mother and how to be an emperor."

Said a little irritably, picked up the bowl and took a sip, grinning a little at an angle that no one could see, Tianzi Qi pointed to Liu Fei, the fifth son of the emperor who was still staring blankly next to the imperial couch.

"Let you invite the Queen Mother, and you can just come with me;"

"-Why did you bring the fifth child with you?"

Seeing that Tianzi Qi was obviously impatient, Liu Shengzong was still a little dissatisfied, so he had to give up.

- Liu Sheng, not Liu Qi's courtier;

but half a courtier, half a son.

As Liu Qi's 'half courtier', to be able to talk about this, Liu Sheng has obviously stepped on the bottom line of Tianziqi.

If you continue to talk about it, I won't talk about it yet, I'm afraid that if you really want to do what Liu Fei thinks, the lives of the two brothers will be confessed in this palace······

"Previously, my father promised his sons that as long as he could invite his grandmother to Shanglin Yuan, he would have the benefits of his sons?"

With a depressed face, he shifted Tianziqi's attention from the bowl of honey to himself, and Liu Sheng pointed to the fifth brother Liu Fei next to the imperial couch.

"Fifth brother wants to fight;"

"When the "Cutting Domain" caused a rebellion among the princes and kings, the fifth brother wanted to lead the army to fight and quell the rebellion."

"-This, is this the 'benefit' you want?"

Hearing the Son of Heaven's inspiration, Liu Sheng only nodded heavily.

"The son wants his father to promise the fifth brother, and when the rebellion breaks out, give the fifth brother a general seal, and let the fifth brother lead the army to the battle."

"And;"

"Erchen wants some steel to make a pair of armor for the fifth brother."

"But apart from Shaofu, Erchen really doesn't know where to find steel that can be used to make armor."

Listening to Liu Sheng say his reward for 'inviting the Empress Dowager Dou', Tianzi Qi thought for a while, and then lowered his head and smacked the honey in the bowl again.

"Yes;"

"But the Queen Mother is annoyed today;"

""The Policy of Cutting the Domain, I'm afraid that it won't be able to be implemented for a while······"

"—As long as the emperor punishes Yuangu, the emperor's grandmother will feel the filial piety of the emperor;"

"Yuan Gu can't die~!"

"—but you can be dismissed."

"Yuan Gu is dismissed, and the queen mother can dissipate her anger and nod her head on "Cutting Domain"?"

"-Yes."

"—Erchen personally went to persuade him."

After a few short conversations, the father and son quickly agreed again.

But half an hour later, the change of events was once again beyond the expectations of father and son.

To be precise, when one after another, less than ten miles outside the palace, ignited a raging fire and flashed dazzling light, Empress Dowager Dou no longer needed Liu Sheng to persuade her······

The more that I owed yesterday was made up.

Call~

Hey?

There seems to be a double commuter pass event recently, eh?

In the hands of the fathers, if there are just a few monthly passes, and there are just no other books to vote for~

Hey, hey, hey, hey······

Ladies and gentlemen, you know what I mean, right?
