was so sneered and ridiculed by Liu Sheng that the Son of Heaven lost the interest in continuing to chat.

Secretly made up his mind to clean up those embarrassing things, Tianziqi snorted coldly and lowered his head;

I didn't know where to take out a few rolls of bamboo slips, and while looking at them, I said casually: "Since you want to be the prince, you can't ask three questions about the affairs of the court." ”

"Tell me;"

"Let's talk about who holds the positions of the DPRK and the Central Committee, the secretary of state and the key positions now."

"What is the origin and temperament of these people, how they behave in the world, and how do they interact with each other······"

The indifferent voice of inquiry caused Liu Sheng to raise his head slightly.

Seeing that Tianziqi had lowered his head and looked at the volume that was obviously not important, Liu Sheng also understood: Dad, this is going to test himself.

After becoming the prince, or the first small test after becoming a 'quasi-prince', Liu Shengzi did not dare to be sloppy.

After thinking about it seriously, and then organizing the language, he put the bamboo slip in his hand on his thigh, and said in order that now, the holder of the important post of the minister of the court in Chang'an.

"Among the three princes, after the teacher's death, the position of prime minister has been vacant until now;"

"-If you want to come to your father, you shouldn't want Tao Qing to be your prime minister."

"Tao Qing, the imperial historian, is a descendant of the founding fathers, although he is not a gentleman, but he has no ability himself;"

"-If it weren't for Chao Cuo's lack of qualifications, my father would have wanted Chao Cuo to serve as the imperial doctor."

"As for Taiwei Zhou Yafu, he just quelled the rebellion of Wu Chu, and it was the time when the limelight was in full swing;"

"-But in my Han family, there has always been a rule that the captain is not permanent."

"Therefore, my father should follow the advice made by the teacher to his father when he was dying: after Zhou Yafu's class returned to the court, Zhou Yafu should be worshiped as the prime minister, so as to deprive Zhou Yafu of his military power, and by the way, remove Zhou Yafu from the position of captain······

talked eloquently without stage fright, so that the corners of Tianziqi's mouth also slightly curled up an arc that seemed to be smiling but not smiling;

On his face, he had a noncommittal calm expression, continued to check the bamboo slips in his hand, and said casually: "Well······"

"Go on;"

"I'm listening."

Tianzi Qi's attitude was not beyond Liu Sheng's expectations;

After taking a breath, he continued: "Among the Jiuqing, Chao Cuo served as the internal historian, and he has basically accumulated enough qualifications; ”

"Wait for the follow-up part of "Cutting the Domain", the problem of the clan relatives and princes will be completely solved, and Chao Cuo can be promoted to the imperial historian by virtue of this merit."

"Fengchang Yuan Ang and Zongzheng Liu Tong are all Jiuqing temporarily appointed by the father when the emperor put down the rebellion;"

"After a while, my father will have new appointments to these two positions."

···

"In addition to the three positions of internal history, Fengchang, and Zongzheng, the servant Liu She, Lang Zhongling Zhou Ren, and Tingwei Zhang Ou are all former princes of the emperor's team, and they are all henchmen of the palace."

"These three people are also obedient to their father."

···

"The rest of the pawn Gongsun mixed with evil, Shaofu Xiao Sheng, and Wei Wei are undoubted, although they are not the henchmen of their father's palace, they are all dedicated to their duties, and everything is done in accordance with their father's instructions."

"Therefore, the three princes and nine kings in the court, the father and the emperor are like an arm;"

"It is precisely by virtue of the control of the Three Princes and the Nine Emperors that my father can quickly control the court firmly in his own hands after succeeding to the throne, and he can start to promote the wrong "Cutting Domain" without spending too much time consolidating his power."

"The teacher once said: This is all the arrangement made by the emperor in advance to consolidate his power when he was seriously ill in his later years, and when his father was in charge of the country as the crown prince······"

In one breath, after briefly describing the situation of the ministers of the DPRK and China, Liu Sheng lowered his head again, picked up the bamboo slip on his thigh again, and continued to look at it.

And on the inside of the carriage, Tianzi Qi finally showed a satisfied smile;

When he raised his head, he saw that Liu Sheng began to look at the volume of 'Spring and Autumn' again, and he couldn't help but smile meaningfully.

"Didn't you just say that you don't want to be the prince?"

"-I don't want to be the prince, but I still know the situation inside and outside the government and the opposition so clearly?"

was full of jokes, but it didn't make the Son of Heaven look at Liu Sheng's face, if he saw a panicked look.

I saw that Liu Sheng didn't raise his head, and choked casually: "Erchen, I don't want to be the prince; ”

"-It's not that you don't want to be the son of your father?"

"You can't be a prince and a king, and when you see the officials sent by Chang'an, you have to lick your face and ask people: What is your surname, and what position does you hold in the court?"

"You can't wait for someone to introduce yourself, and Erchen has to turn around and ask left and right: What is the origin of this person???"

Another subconscious rebuttal, this time, Tianzi Qi was not angry anymore.

He only nodded as usual, thought for a moment, and continued to ask: "Recently, some people in the DPRK and China said that Zhang Ou is not capable enough to continue to serve as Jiuqing; ”

"There are also people who say that the guard captain is straightforward, but he is too introverted to serve as a guard captain."

"What do you think?"

Two more questions, which also made Liu Sheng think for a while.

Then, he raised his head indifferently: "Zhang Ou, Marquis of Anqiu, is a hero, but he is not addicted to pleasure because of his illustrious background." ”

"Erchen remembers that the teacher once said: Zhang Ou Xi is 'criminal name study';"

"Since he was born in Xi's 'criminal name', Zhang Ou will not be inappropriate to be a court lieutenant."

"—But Erchen also heard that after Zhang Ou became a court lieutenant, he was always very hesitant and 'lenient' in dealing with prisoners;"

"After serving as a court lieutenant for three years, Zhang Ou approved it with the seal and successfully sentenced to death, but there were no more than five fingers."

"Most of the time, the prisoners have been held for a long time, but Zhang Ou has not been able to seal the approval, and in the end, the criminals who should have been sentenced to death have been amnesty again and again."

"Therefore, Erchen thinks: Maybe it is the identity of Xungui that makes Zhang Ou have a lot of worries, and he can't enforce the law impartially because of the intertwined 'favors' inside and outside the government and the opposition."

"In this way, Zhang Ou is not unable to serve as Jiuqing because of his lack of ability;"

"It's because of his background, it's not suitable to be a court lieutenant······"

A reasoned and well-founded analysis only provoked the Son of Heaven to nod his head again and again;

Liu Sheng only adjusted his breathing slightly, and then continued: "As for being undoubted, let alone say it. ”

"I don't doubt this person, he is responsible, introverted, and a real gentleman."

"The teacher once said: When the first emperor was the emperor, he was undoubtedly a Lang official, and he always disdained to defend the slander of others;"

"—Some people say that they have lost a piece of gold, and they suspect that it was stolen without suspicion, and they buy a piece of gold and give it to the man who threw it;

"——Some people say that Zhi Bu has an affair with his brother and sister-in-law, and Zhi Bu only explains: I am the eldest son, and there is no brother."

"Such a person is indeed a little inappropriate to hold a military position;"

"But being a guard lieutenant couldn't be more suitable······"

Hearing the end, Tianzi Qi was already smiling;

He no longer held the shelf, but took over with a smile: "Yes~"

"There is no doubt that he is indeed an admirable gentleman."

"If there is anything wrong, it is that I cherish my feathers too much and dare not take responsibility."

"But such a character is perfect for serving as a guard lieutenant······"

With a slight sigh of affection, Tianziqi threw the bamboo slip in his hand by his side, and no longer pretended to be 'I'm looking at the chapter', and looked directly sideways at Liu Sheng.

"For such a thing, old prime minister, what else did you teach?"

Seeing Tianzi Qi's posture, Liu Shengzi also sat up a little straight.

Hearing this, he also handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Tianzi Qi again.

This time, this 'Spring and Autumn' written by Liu Sheng was finally picked up by the Son of Heaven.

Taking advantage of Tianziqi's efforts to look down, Liu Shengzi did not forget to answer Tianziqi's question in a whisper.

"The teacher once said: As long as you can enter the court, you are not useless;"

"These people will always have their own unique strengths that can be used in the right place."

"Therefore, most of the time, the ministers of the DPRK and China are not 'unworthy of virtue', but are put in the wrong position."

"-Just like Zhang Ou, since he is the identity of the nephew of the Emperor Gonghou, he should be placed in a position where he needs to deal with the government and the opposition, especially the children of the Gonghou;"

"For example, Fengchang, not Tingwei."

"If you are undoubted, if you are a humble gentleman, you should not be placed in a place where you need to deal with the government and the opposition inside and outside, but you can regard him as a 'lonely minister' and put it in a critical position."

"For example, the Captain of the Guard, or the Captain of the Court."

"As long as you are in the right position, even if you are despised by the world, you can give full play to your abilities;"

"But if you put it in the wrong position, even if you are an old prime minister, you will only waste time and delay the ······ of national politics."

Listening to Liu Sheng's confident and indifferent words, and then looking at the 'quotations' recorded by Liu Sheng for Shen Tujia in his hand;

On the face of Tianzi Qi, he was finally full of appreciation.

After a long time, the Son of Heaven Qicai finally smiled and nodded, and then handed the bamboo slip back to Liu Sheng.

"Old Prime Minister, teach both of you brothers well."

"At the beginning, I sent the two of you to the old prime minister, and it was really the right decision."

was full of praise, but Liu Sheng lowered his head with a strange expression.

took the bamboo slips, carefully put them back in the cloth bag, and began to ridicule the Son of Heaven again.

"The old prime minister has indeed taught his sons a lot of things."

"But the sons will not forget: in the first place, why did the father send the sons to the old prime minister."

"—and;"

"The elder brother accompanied the son-in-law to apprentice with him, also to avoid the son-in-law from being mistaken by the eldest brother for taking the heir."

"Erchen tried his best to prove in every possible way that he didn't want to be the prince, but his father's words made Erchen a villain who was inconsistent with his words and deeds······"

As he spoke, Liu Sheng did not forget to cast his resentful gaze on Tianzi Qi's embarrassed face, but still with a slightly proud face.

- At the beginning, let Liu Sheng go to apprenticeship, it was clear that the Son of Heaven suspected Shen Tujia and Liu Sheng of being an eyesore!

It's good now, as soon as you touch the skin of your mouth, it will become Tianziqi's 'well-intentioned······

"I don't know how my father's face is so thick······"

Another hi finally made Mrs. Jia on the side unable to calm down anymore, so she hurriedly stretched out her hand and pinched Liu Sheng's armpit.

After Liu Sheng looked at him with grinning teeth, Jia Fu scattered his anxious gaze to Tianzi Qi, who was still smiling strangely on the inside of the carriage.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not ······"

Mrs. Jia was so worried, but Tianziqi was full of indifference.

With a big grin, he waved his hand, and then looked at Liu Sheng with a smile undiminished.

"How is Yuan An?"

"-capable, but unscrupulous in order to achieve the end, tactful, friends all over the world;"

"—can be used, but not reused."

···

"How's Zhidu?"

"-Loyalty, will not form a party with others, and can be a self-respecting minister by the side of his father."

···

"How is Dou Ying?"

"——Open-minded, aware of the general situation, taking into account the overall situation, but a little stubborn;"

"—plus it's a relative, so be careful not to hurt his self-esteem."

···

"Where's Zhou Yafu?"

"--Arrogant, informal, and highly prestigious in the army;"

"-can be used as a general, but you can't let him hold the military power for a long time, and you have to take care of his face."

···

"Chao Wrong ······"

"-Damn it!"

Every time Tianzi Qi asked, Liu Sheng gave his opinion;

But in the end, the Son of Heaven Qigang mentioned the word 'Chao Wrong', but Liu Sheng's face suddenly turned cold!

Rao is mother, Mrs. Jia, next to him, began to pinch the back of his armpits and shake his arms again, and Liu Sheng still looked firmly at Tianziqi on his side.

"Chao wrong, damn it!"

With another emphasis, Liu Sheng's gaze at Tianziqi also became more and more cold.

"Chao is wrong, it is the ······ of internal history"

"—so damn it!"

"That's my teacher······"

"—neither can Lao Tzu!"

"—just damn it!"

was full of firmness, and even had a little resentful voice, which only made Mrs. Jia on the side open her mouth wide in surprise;

Inside the carriage, there was a long silence.

After a long time, the Son of Heaven took a deep breath and asked suspiciously: "Before, when I wanted to kill Chao Cuo, it was the old prime minister who came forward and stopped me. ”

"You were there?"

But when Liu Sheng heard this, he was still full of determination: "Erchen said at the time: Chao is wrong, and he can't die for the time being; ”

"Especially can't die in front of Liu Bi."

"—Now, Liu Bi is dead;"

"Chao is wrong, you can also die."

said something without hesitation, only to make the Son of Heaven lose his words for a long time.

After a long time, he sat up, moved to the window and sat down;

Lifting the curtain and feeling the autumn breeze blowing on his face, Tianzi Qi finally let out a long sigh leisurely.

But for Liu Sheng's words, Tianzi Qi did not reply again······

"I heard, you want to marry Gillian?"

"—Grandmother the Emperor wishes."

Leisurely asked a question, only to cause Liu Sheng to reply without thinking, and Tianziqi couldn't help but turn around slightly.

"Aren't you afraid that Gillian will become another thin queen?"

In a deep voice, without waiting for Liu Sheng to answer, Tianzi Qi preemptively asked again: "Do you know why Queen Bo has not been able to give birth to her eldest son so far?" ”

"Do you know why Bo Zhao was so fearless and did such a thing that people and gods were angry about?"

"—Do you know what a relative will do when he has an elder who is the queen mother, a peer who is the queen, and even the crown prince who is his junior?"

asked several questions one after another, only to provoke Liu Sheng to frown violently.

"Father, don't you want me to marry Gillian?"

Hearing this, Tianziqi slowly shook his head, turned his head over again, and looked out of the car window.

"Gillian, you have to marry."

"But you have to understand why you have to marry Gillian."

"-You have to think clearly: what kind of help will marrying Gillian bring to you now;"

"What kind of trouble will it bring to you in the future······"

As he spoke, Tianzi Qi couldn't help but let out another long sigh, and his gaze outside the car window became more and more distracted.

In the carriage, Liu Sheng lowered his head and thought about it for a long time, and in the end, he just lowered his head thoughtfully······

Of course Liu Sheng understood the meaning of the Son of Heaven.

Bo Zhao back then was a typical example of thinking that 'there is a queen mother now, and a queen and a prince in the future', so he thought that he could be lawless.

Tianzi Qi is worried that Gillian, who will become the queen in the future and give birth to an heir, plus the Empress Dowager Dou, who became the empress dowager at that time, will become a relative of the Dou family, and another hotbed of 'Dou Zhao' will sprout.

But Tianzi Qi should also understand: For this matter, Liu Sheng now has no right to speak at all.

Just like back then, Liu Qi, as the crown prince, couldn't refuse his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Bo, and married his granddaughter Bo to himself as the crown princess······

"Gillian's matter, I will tell you more later."

"You don't have to worry too much about it now."

"—You just have to remember: for the crown prince, the love of children is something that must not be had;"

"The crown prince, especially the emperor, once he has a child's affection, it will make everyone in the world lose the opportunity to have a child's affection and live a peaceful life······"

The tone full of melancholy also provoked Liu Sheng to nod his head thoughtfully.

Hearing Tianziqi's last sentence of 'children's affection', Liu Sheng inevitably thought: Tianziqi himself seems to have just done something that 'treats children's affection as dung'······

"Today, Erchen doesn't seem to see Zhidu?"

"Zhidu, did you go to Shanglin Yuan?"

tentatively asked a question, but did not get a reply from the Son of Heaven;

Thinking of his promise to his eldest brother Liu Rong, Liu Sheng finally got courageous, and asked again: "Li Ji ······"

"Are you still alive?"

Hearing this, Tianzi Qi shook his head indifferently.

"You'll just treat her as if she's dead."

"—Anyway, it's a matter of time sooner or later······"

The answer to the question made Liu Sheng frown again.

"Father pretended to be sick and left Chang'an, wasn't it because of this incident?"

But when he saw that the Son of Heaven heard this, he first turned his head a little and smiled strangely at Liu Sheng;

Then, he looked out of the car again and let out a long sigh.

"The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear······"

"Hey;"

"- Chang'an, the wind is about to rise·········"
