"Yuan An, just escaped back?"

About ten days later, Chang'an City, Weiyang Palace.

Looking at the report in his hand, Tianzi Qi asked with a little surprise, only to cause Chao Cuo on the side to smile bitterly and nodded.

"Liu Biao originally wanted to kill Yuan An, but he was afraid that he would be infamy as 'killing the envoys of the Son of Heaven', so he sent Yuan Ang to prison, let the military captain take care of him, and then wait for the opportunity to poison him."

"It's just that I didn't expect that the post-military captain who was sent by Liu Bi to poison Yuan Ang was Yuan An's old man······"

The words full of regret caused Tianzi Qi to subconsciously raise his eyebrows.

Seeing Chao Cuo, he let out a long sigh leisurely, and put all the ups and downs of Yuan An's trip in front of Tianzi Qi.

"It is said that in the early years, when Yuan Ang was still the prime minister of Wu Guo, this captain was Yuan An's history."

"During this period, Liu Biao gave Yuan Ang a maidservant girl, and gave birth to a pair of national and fragrant skins, which was deeply loved by Yuan An."

"But one day, Yuan Ang found out that this servant girl had an affair with his own history;"

"Knowing that the matter was revealed, Congshi was worried that Yuan Ang would retaliate against him, so he fled overnight."

"Unexpectedly, Yuan Ang personally drove the car and took the servant girl to catch up with Congshi, but instead of blaming, he gave the maid to Congshi, and still let him be the ······ Congshi"

Speaking of this, Chao Cuo couldn't help but shake his head and sigh again, not only marveling at Yuan An's good luck, but also regretting that Yuan Ang escaped death.

"This time, Liu Bi rebelled, and the officials of Wu State were all appointed as generals, and this former historian became Liu Bi's post-military captain."

"Knowing that Liu Biao wanted to kill Yuan An, this post-military captain sold his belongings, bought a lot of wine, drunk the soldiers guarding the city, cut open the camp tent by night, and let Yuan Ang go."

"After being saved, Yuan Ang walked seven or eight miles, and at dawn, he met the cavalry of the Liang State, so he borrowed a horse and fled back to Suiyang City······"

A tone mixed with helplessness, nostalgia, and obvious regret also provoked Tianzi Qi to sigh with embarrassment, and shook his head with a smile.

"This is indeed Yuan An's character."

"-Eclectic, loves adult beauty;"

"And everywhere you go, you can meet the ······ of the old people"

Hearing the words of the Son of Heaven, Chao Cuo first smiled bitterly and nodded;

After hearing the last sentence of Tianzi Qi, there was a faint dissatisfaction, and Chao Cuo felt that the sorrow in his heart was soothed.

He chuckled and nodded, but didn't say much.

- Because of Shen Tujia's 'righteous speech' and Gongzisheng's 'selflessness', he was almost killed by the Son of Heaven and abandoned the city, which can be regarded as picking up a life;

And Yuan An, because of his unintentional actions, was able to escape from Liu Biao's clutches.

This means that after the rebellion is quelled, the decades-long love-hate relationship between Chao Cuo and Yuan Ang will continue······

"Hey ······"

"I haven't seen that guy for a long time, but I really miss him······"

As soon as he let out a belly slander, the words of Tianzi Qi came from his ears again, and Chao Cuo hurriedly raised his head.

"I thought that Yuan Ang would stay by Liu Bi's side and be willing to become a traitor;"

"Now that I see it, this Yuan Ang is still a bit of a temperament?"

A slightly joking question only caused Chao Cuo's face to stiffen slightly.

But seeing Tianzi Qi smile meaningfully, looking at Chao Cuo's gaze, there was also a faint hint of ridicule.

"I heard that after Yuan Ang escaped from the rebel camp, he went to Zhou Yafu's side."

"——And Zhou Yafu's newly recruited doorman: Luoyang Heroic Drama Meng, have a good conversation?"

"It is said that Yuan Ang, such an eight-sided person, can become friends with anyone."

"Why is it that only the teacher and Yuan Ang have become undying rivals?"

Hearing this, Chao Cuo only raised his head slightly uneasily;

Looking at the eyes in front of him, pretending to look through the dossier, but in fact, Tianzi Qi, who was pricking up his ears and waiting for his reply, also sprung up this question in his heart.

- Why?

Yuan Ang and I, why can't we become friends?

When did it start······

"Minister, I don't really remember it."

After thinking about it for a long time, Chao Cuo chuckled and said a word, and a self-deprecating smile immediately swelled between his eyebrows.

"After so many years, Yuan Ang and I, whether in the court or in private, are incompatible."

"Except for the court, as long as Yuan Ang is there, I won't go; As long as I am where I am, Yuan Ang will not come. ”

"In private, the two of us never said a word······"

As he spoke, Chao Cuo couldn't help but smile and shook his head again, and let out a long sigh full of helplessness.

"It's been a long time, and even the ministers can't remember clearly: in the first place, why did he have a grudge with Yuan An."

"It's just that every time I see Yuan An, I can't help but grit my teeth and frown, and I have the urge to stab a sword into his chest······"

Chao Cuo calmly said what he thought in his heart, and said, 'I don't know why, I just don't like him', but it caused Tianzi Qi to chuckle for a while.

But Tianzi Qi didn't say anything more, nor did he give his own answer to Chao Wrong's doubts.

Of course, Tianzi Qi knew what the reason for Chao Cuo's inexplicable disgust.

- Chao Cuo, is a Legalist scholar.

That's it.

In the memory of Tianzi Qi, Chao Cuo and Yuan Ang actually did not have a grudge because of any specific matter;

At the very beginning, on the first day and at first sight of these two people's meeting, the two already looked down on each other.

The reason for this is precisely because of Chao Mistake that he is the most determined 'defender' of the Han family and the Legalist family.

It may seem strange to say this;

But if you understand the Legalist family, as well as the pursuit of the Legalist scholars, Chao Cuo's dislike for Yuan Ang is easy to understand.

——According to the statement in "Han Feizi Five Worms", the five types of people that Legalists hate the most are:

1. Scholars (referring to Confucianism at the end of the Warring States Period);

2. Talkers (referring to the Zongheng family);

3. Those with swords (referring to rangers);

4. Those who suffer from royalty (refers to those who are attached to the private family of the nobles);

5. The people of industry and commerce.

Han Fei said: These five are also beetles of the state.

To summarize the 'five beetles' proposed by Han Feizi, they are actually Confucianism, lobbyists, rangers, doormen, and businessmen.

For people like Chao Cuo, who are from a Legalist background, and even take it as their mission to 'revive Legalism' and 'revive the study of Shen Shang', these five types of people are people who can be killed directly with a sword without any reason.

Because in the eyes of Legalists, the 'five beetles' proposed by Han Feizi are the main factors that undermine the stability of the regime.

As long as these five types of people disappear, there will be no more problems between heaven and earth.

Let's go back and see what kind of person Yuan Ang is?

- At the beginning, because of the identity of the local tyrant, he was forcibly moved into Guanzhong, and he was still a businessman; (Shangjia)

——After moving into Guanzhong, he was Lu Lu's doorman; (Doorman)

- Confucianism; (Confucian Scholars)

——He has a very personal relationship with world-famous ranger giants such as Ji Xin and Ju Meng; (Ranger)

——In the court, he settled down with 'giving people ideas', met the source left and right inside and outside the court, and was good at dancing with long sleeves. (Lobbyist)

Therefore, to sum up, the reason why Chao Cuo dislikes Yuan Ang is: Yuan Ang is a person who occupies Han Feizi's 'five beetles'!

Yuan Ang is a combination of 'five beetles'!

In this way, the problem is obvious.

Chao is a Legalist defender who thinks that 'if you eliminate the five beetles, the world will be peaceful';

And Yuan Ang is a slippery head who thinks, 'I want to be a person who combines five beetles'.

These two people get together, what kind of feeling Yuan Ang has, it's hard to say what Tianzi Qi is;

But Tianzi Qi is very sure: Chao Cuo's sentence just now, 'When I saw Yuan An's face, I wanted to draw my sword and kill him', there was absolutely no joke in the slightest.

- Chao Cuo, I really have such an idea!

- and not a subjective will, but a physiological impulse!

It's like in the afterlife, a person hates cockroaches, fleas, reptiles, mosquitoes, ants and other insects;

As a result, one day, the man was at the door of his house and saw the combined mutants of these insects······

"Yuan Ang fled back, Dehou, but he was detained by Liu Bi ······"

After a long silence, it was Tianzi Qi who took the lead in opening his mouth and removed the topic from Yuan An, the 'combination of five beetles'.

But when he heard the wrong words, a touch of worry swelled up on his face;

Stretched out his hand, picked up the report in front of the Son of Heaven again, and handed it to the Son of Heaven again.

"Dehou's matter, Your Majesty is afraid that it should be put aside first;"

"—King Liang, it seems that he has sent back a letter to the Queen Mother·········"

As soon as these words came out, I saw that the face of the Son of Heaven suddenly sank.

Just as he was about to lower his head, he heard a low and sharp voice from the door of the temple, which made Tianzi Qi break out in a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty~"

"The Queen Mother sent the old slave and asked Her Majesty to go to Changle Palace······"

·

"Emperor, don't you want to explain?"

A moment later, Changle Palace, Changxin Palace.

Empress Dowager Dou had a gloomy face, sitting upright on the royal couch at the top, and in her cold temperament, only one 'don't enter the living' was highlighted;

As for Tianzi Qi, who was sitting beside the Empress Dowager Dou, his face was stiff and his head was lowered, and he didn't dare to look at the imperial case, the two copies were obviously the handwriting of two people, but they had the same sentence written on them······

"Will be outside, will the king's order be affected?!"

"-will be outside, the king's order is not subject to !!"

The sudden roar in his ears only provoked Tianzi Qi to shrink his neck violently, and his hands grabbed his sleeves uneasily.

At this moment, Tianzi Qi just wanted to issue an edict to recall Dou Ying and Zhou Yafu back to Chang'an······

Then tie the two together and shoot them into outer space with a rocket!

- What the hell is this tacit understanding!

I haven't seen these two people, how good is the relationship usually??????

Tianzi Qi bowed his head and was silent, but it made the Empress Dowager Dou more and more angry.

"Emperor, is this what I did to my son!"

"A sentence will be outside, and if the king's order is not accepted, he will kill my son in Suiyang?!!"

roaring angrily, Empress Dowager Dou did not forget to pick up the two recitals and throw them on Tianziqi's face.

"Can't you even coax me with a snack!!

"Even if you let these two bastards change a word or two slightly, instead of sending back the same sentence: will be outside, and the king's order will not be ?!!!!"

Listening to the more and more hoarse roar of the Empress Dowager Dou, the head of Tianziqi was getting lower and lower, and in the end, it was directly attached to his chest.

- Who's to say it isn't······

- Even if those two idiots change a word or two slightly·········

Although he thought so in his heart, Tianzi Qi didn't dare to say this sentence at all.

Letting his mother, Empress Dowager Dou, vent hysterically, the Son of Heaven raised his head cautiously;

After looking at the face of the Empress Dowager Dou for a while, she said tentatively: "Or ······"

"—or something!"

Unexpectedly, before he could say anything, he was interrupted by a roar from the Empress Dowager Dou!

"Does the emperor really want to send someone to tell these two bastards: next time, don't use the same sentence to prevaricate me!!"

uh······

It's not impossible······

Ahem, cough, cough······

Before he could say anything, he was choked back by his mother's roar again, and Tianziqi didn't know what to do;

can only be like a child who has done something wrong and doesn't know how to correct it, he bows his head deeply and picks at his fingernails.

At this time, the Son of Heaven is actually suffering and can't be said.

- For Zhou Yafu, Tianzi Qi did have a similar explanation;

But God is pitiful!

Dou Ying's sentence 'will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected', is really not secretly instructed by the Son of Heaven!

At that time, in order not to make the Empress Dowager Dou suspicious, Tianzi Qi did not dare to do anything except issue an appointment of 'worship the crown prince Zhan Shi Dou Ying as the general'!

From the appointment of Dou Ying as the general, to Dou Ying's departure from the army, and the east of the Hangu to Xingyang-Aocang, the Son of Heaven was stunned that he didn't even see Dou Ying!

For Dou Ying to be so 'sensible' and not hesitate to refuse Empress Dowager Dou's order to 'support King Liang', Tianzi Qi naturally felt extremely gratified;

But relieved to be relieved, to Dou Ying, Tianzi Qi really did not have any instructions······

"Shhh

"Hiss!"

While thinking about it, there was a sobbing sound in his ears, which caused Tianzi Qi to turn his head cautiously;

But I saw that a moment ago, the Empress Dowager Dou, who was still 'roaring in court', was already sitting on the couch at this moment, wiping away tears with great grief······

"Queen Mother······

Seeing his mother crying, Tianziqi couldn't help but feel unbearable for a while, and a touch of guilt immediately surged between his eyebrows.

But I saw that the Empress Dowager Dou raised her head with tears on her face, and scattered her scattered gaze to an unknown corner······

"I, hiss······"

"I'm just such a precious son······"

"For the emperor's temple and sheji, he is fighting bravely to kill the enemy in Suiyang······"

"That stupid boy, I'm afraid that until I die, I still think: I want to help my brother with a little strength······"

Speaking with tears, Empress Dowager Dou couldn't help but close her eyes in despair and raised her head again.

"The emperor wants to kill his younger brother······"

"Killed his only brother ······"

"Emperor, you want to kill my son·······"

"My only son············"

Listening to his mother's grief-stricken murmur, the Son of Heaven was still full of guilt, but he suddenly gave birth to a burst of bitterness.

the only son;

Scold.

The only son······

Turning his head sideways with a wry smile, he looked at the mother beside him with her head held high, her eyes closed, and let tears fall from the corners of her eyes·······

"Queen Mother, why do you say that there is only one son······

"In front of the queen mother, is there only the third child, who calls himself 'son'······"

The voice full of bitter words did not make the grief on Empress Dowager Dou's face, as if she had lost a child in her later years, diminished the slightest.

It was this unmoved reaction that made the last trace of guilt in Tianziqi's heart drift away at this moment······

"The third child is also the vassal king of my Liu family."

"The Cutting of the Domain is a century-old policy for my Liu family to stabilize the Kanto region and stabilize the world."

"Erchen, I didn't want to kill the third child;"

"The third child will not die in this war."

Forced himself to put down the grief in his heart, and said these obviously cold words, Tianzi Qi got up from the imperial couch and paced two steps, leaving only a ruthless back for the Empress Dowager Dou.

"After the rebellion is quelled, the sons will return the third child to the queen mother."

"As for what the queen mother wants to do right now, the sons can't stop it······"

Before the Son of Heaven could speak, the Empress Dowager Dou, who was sitting on the couch and weeping, finally opened her eyes slowly;

lowered his head and looked at the tall figure not far in front of him, where only the silhouette could be faintly visible, and a touch of indifference gradually surged on the face of the Empress Dowager Dou.

"Okay."

"I'll send someone to call the fifth child in Handan to Suiyang to save my son."

"—let my grandson, go and save my son!"

"—Let the emperor's son, go and save my son!!"

As a few words came out, the expression on Empress Dowager Dou's face also changed from initial grief, to indifference, to annoyance;

And then in the end, the complex look of gritting teeth, but it was difficult to hide the sadness······

"In the future, the emperor will not come to Changle again······"

"I'm just a woman, and now I'm getting older, and I'm about to go blind······"

"Sitting next to the emperor, I really feel like sitting on pins and needles, like a man's back, like a fish in my throat······"

"That's it·········"

"All me, there has never been a son like the emperor···········"

With trembling words, Empress Dowager Dou slowly got up from the couch and turned around with sad eyes;

Holding the cane in his hand, he walked tremblingly in the direction of the apse, and did not forget to whisper on his lips: "Emperor, you want to kill my son······"

"Emperor, you want to kill my son·········"

"I, without the emperor's son············"

And in front of the royal couch, listening to the murmuring in his ears, Tianziqi still did not turn back.

With his hands behind his back, he slowly raised his head, closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh when he looked up to the sky.

"The queen mother, how can she ever treat her sons as her own sons······

"Queen Mother, how can you remember!"

"—How can you remember that you have another son············"
