Chapter 239: Your Highness, the Prime Minister is invited...

After a brief exchange with Mrs. Bo and his mother Empress Jia, Liu Sheng stopped talking in a shallow manner.

After making eye contact with his brother Liu Pengzu, the two brothers got up and left the Jiaofang Palace, leaving this rare opportunity to be alone to Madame Bo and Empress Jia, two women with almost identical temperaments but diametrically opposite fates.

As soon as he walked out of the Jiaofang Hall and walked on the palace road between the Jiaofang Hall and Sima Gate, Liu Pengzu couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and asked Liu Shenglai bluntly.

"Ah Sheng, do you really think like that?"

"-I really want the queen mother to teach my mother how to be a queen, instead of letting my mother inherit a favor from my mother?"

Liu Pengzu asked softly, and Liu Sheng smiled warmly.

didn't bother to discuss with his brother whose mother to call and whose mother to call, he just smiled and lowered his head, and generously admitted his intentions.

"The queen mother and the mother, the temperament is too similar."

"—are all submissive and honest temperaments;"

"If the mother doesn't know how to be the queen, then the queen mother doesn't know either."

"Just now, I said that to my mother, and it is indeed as my brother said: I want my mother to inherit my mother's favor."

"So that in the future, the mother can think more about the good of the queen mother, so that there will be no estrangement between the queen mother and the queen mother because of the succession of the elder brother······"

The speculation was verified, especially when Liu Sheng admitted without hesitation, and Liu Pengzu's still somewhat suspicious face also put on an easy-going smile.

The next topic of the two brothers naturally shifted to the matter mentioned by Fang Cai and Liu Sheng.

- Empress Jia, who has just been crowned a short time ago, needs to summon Mrs. Cheng and Tang Ji of Xuanming Palace, and Wang Meiren of Qilan Hall to Jiaofang Hall to establish their status as the queen of the main palace.

And in this matter, Liu Sheng was in the Jiaofang Palace, but he didn't lie: Queen Jia, I'm afraid I really can't handle this matter······

"Right now, my mother is still worried because she moved into the Jiaofang Palace;"

"Let my mother summon Mrs. Cheng, Tang Ji, and Wang Meiren to the pepper room, I'm afraid it's ······"

"In the past, even when the Empress Dowager was still alive, the Queen Mother never did this."

"With the support of the Empress Dowager, and the queen mother who was still living in the Jiaofang Palace at the time, she never did this;"

"Today's mother, I'm afraid it's even more ······"

Hearing his brother's worried words, Liu Sheng still shook his head and smiled easily.

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, he said another word, which made Liu Pengzu completely settle down.

"There's nothing to worry about about this matter."

"—The edict enshrined his mother as the queen was given by the emperor's grandmother;"

"As long as my mother can remember it and go to the imperial grandmother for advice, the imperial grandmother will definitely guide my mother."

···

"It is true that my mother is still terrified at the moment, and she will definitely not remember to go to the imperial grandmother."

"But today, when the Queen Mother received my plea, but she really couldn't give her an idea, she would definitely remind her to ask for the Pope's grandmother's ······."

The relaxed and freehand words only made Liu Pengzu's face disappear with gloom, and he turned his head sideways with peace of mind and grinned at Liu Sheng.

This matter was also easily skipped by the two brothers in a few words.

Of course, the two brothers understood: In the Qilan Palace, there was also a Wang beauty, with her son Liu Yu, who had been crowned king but had not been a vassal because of his young age, and was eyeing Liu Sheng and Queen Jia's mother and son.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

Or it should be said: For Wang Meiren, Liu Yu's mother and son, and the two brothers, they have long reached an agreement on the coping strategy.

——See the moves, and respond to all changes with the same.

In addition to that······

"Oh, that's right;"

"Wuyan Clan, did Ah Sheng propose that his father send Zhidu to investigate?"

The short silence was broken by Liu Pengzu's question without warning, which also caused Liu Sheng's face to stiffen slightly.

But seeing Liu Pengzu's question, he turned sideways with some amusement and looked at Liu Sheng's gaze, which gradually became a little meaningful.

"Ah Sheng, did you do it on purpose?"

"-Ah Sheng knows that the Wuyan clan is an ally of the Changlingtian clan, and he is also half of Wang Meiren's minions;"

"So, Ah Sheng took advantage of the food to get rid of the Wuyan clan, so that he could cut off Wang Meiren's arm?"

In a few words to the point, Liu Pengzu had already broken through Liu Sheng's previous intention of proposing to Tianziqi to 'copy the Wuyan clan'.

And Liu Sheng has obviously been accustomed to his brother's sensational perception and observation for a long time.

smiled a little shyly, then turned his head slightly, and acquiesced to Liu Pengzu's statement.

But a moment later, Liu Sheng also revealed another layer of his intention in this matter, which was not seen through by Liu Pengzu.

"The main reason for getting rid of the Wuyan clan is for the sake of the overall situation."

"Secondly, it is out of my selfish desires."

···

"The Ziqian merchant Wuyan clan is in cahoots with the Changling Tian clan and has close contacts with the Qilan Palace, which is indeed a reason that cannot be ignored."

"But the most critical problem is: this year, almost all the businessmen in Guanzhong have interfered in the grain business;"

"On the contrary, the largest grain merchant in Guanzhong, the Changling Tian clan, did not interfere at all."

"As the saying goes: the snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits;"

"If you don't take advantage of this grain incident to get rid of the Wuyan clan, then the merchants of the entire Guanzhong will be hit;"

"By next year, there will be no businessmen in Guanzhong who are willing to do the grain business, and in the future, the grain business in Guanzhong will be dominated by the Changling Tian family······

···

"Yu Gong, the Changling Tian family is dominant, which is not conducive to the stability of the temple and the community;"

"Yu privately, the Changling Tian clan controls the grain in Guanzhong, and every money earned will become the king beauty of the Qilan Palace, which will be used against my sharp spears and sharp blades."

"——In order to prevent the Changling Tian clan from taking advantage of this fisherman, I can only protect the other grain merchants."

"In this way, the Wuyan clan will have to die."

"As for getting rid of the Wuyan clan and letting the Changling Tian clan and Wang Meiren cut off one of their arms, it's just incidental······"

His expression was full of indifference, but his tone was inexplicably serious, which only caused Liu Pengzu on the side to lose his mind for a while.

After Liu Sheng's words fell, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and Liu Pengzu finally nodded slowly.

Then, he turned sideways and raised his eyebrows at Liu Shengyi with a smile: "Not bad~"

"It's only been a few days, and you already have the appearance of a prince?"

Hearing this, Liu Shengwan smiled, and then went down the slope.

"Hi ······"

"Can't you be a prince and be embarrassed by your brother and mother?"

"—It's also in the past, my brother taught me well······"

A business blow between you and me, which caused the two brothers to chuckle for a while;

Even though Liu Sheng has become the crown prince, the relationship between the two brothers is still as close as ever.

As the atmosphere became more and more relaxed, Liu Pengzu naturally began to bring up some more sensitive topics that had to be mentioned.

"It is said that at the beginning of last year, the Wu Chu Rebellion broke out, and my father worshiped the Marquis as a lieutenant and ordered him to lead the army to quell the rebellion."

"——At that time, it seems that the one who borrowed military funds from the Marquis was the Wuyan clan?"

"Hey!"

"A thousand gold, even the principal and interest will be recovered to a full 10,000 gold!"

After saying a word inexplicably, Liu Pengzu turned sideways with a smile and raised his eyebrows at Liu Sheng again.

"Thinking about that incident, it also made Zhou Yafu itch the root of his hatred for the Wuyan clan?"

"I learned that the Wuyan clan was broken because Ah Sheng proposed to his father that the Marquis of Tiao might be able to accept Ah Sheng's favor?"

Hearing that his brother talked about Tiaohou Zhou Yafu, although Liu Sheng still had a light smile on his face, between his eyebrows, he was shrouded in a lingering cloud.

It's like the word 'Tiaohou', which is enough to make Liu Sheng, who is now the crown prince, feel depressed.

forced a smile for a while, but finally couldn't hold back the smile on his face, and Liu Sheng simply stopped holding on;

With an unpretentious bitter face, he shook his head gloomily, and quietly let out a bitter sigh.

"Brother, I don't know ······"

"I thought so when the edict was sent to make my mother queen and me the crown prince."

"I thought it was because I got rid of the Wuyan clan and spoke out for Zhou Yafu that Zhou Yafu didn't continue to oppose his father in the matter of enthronement of the queen and the canonization of the crown prince."

"But the other day, I went to ask the imperial grandmother."

"-The only thing that the prime minister can stop is the edict of the Son of Heaven;"

"Only the edict of the Son of Heaven that involves the major politics of the country, the prime minister can prevent something by 'refusing to use the seal'."

"But for the Empress Dowager's decree, no matter what content is involved, the prime minister has no right to interfere with ······"

was full of depressed words, which also caused Liu Pengzu to frown suddenly;

His eyes rolled, but his complexion became even more ugly.

"So Zhou Yafu didn't change his mind?"

"Mother was crowned queen and Ah Sheng was canonized as the prince, not because Zhou Yafu 'no longer stopped', but wanted to stop it, but didn't have the ability to stop it?"

asked a little anxiously, but only caused Liu Sheng to nod bitterly, and Liu Pengzu's face sank immediately.

The two brothers were shoulder to shoulder, walking in unison, carrying their hands behind their backs, and they both had a look like water.

Just like this, they returned all the way to the Taigong, and the two brothers never spoke again.

In the end, it was Liu Sheng who was helpless, and for this matter, he temporarily drew a full stop that was not a full stop.

"I've thought about it for a long time."

"——The only reasonable explanation is because of the four words 'establish a successor'."

"It is true that my father first appointed my mother as the queen, and then appointed me, the 'eldest son', as the prince, there is nothing wrong with etiquette."

But in Prime Minister Zhou's view, the mother, the queen, is not the original wife of his father; I, the 'only son of the queen', am not the real eldest prince. ”

"Therefore, the prime minister is stubborn in this matter, most likely because his father abolished the eldest brother who was the eldest son of the concubine and sent him to Kanto, but let me, the ninth son, become the prince of the prince······"

···

"Since it is for this reason that Prime Minister Zhou Cheng is so stubborn, then this matter is not something that my brothers can change."

"My father also asked me not to meddle in this matter, and it was all planned by my father himself."

"-I'm eighty percent sure that my father will be able to handle this matter in the end."

"But I'm afraid that my father will be anxious by Zhou Yafu's stubbornness, and then do something like back then, when he designed to frame the teacher······"

Outside the gate of the Imperial Palace, the two brothers also stopped.

When Liu Sheng expressed all the worries in his heart in a helpless tone, Liu Pengzu had to nod his head in agreement, and let out a short sigh helplessly.

"Even if you're worried, what can you do?"

"-That's, but the prime minister······"

"Especially Zhou Yafu, who soared into the sky with his martial arts, was directly worshiped from lieutenant to lieutenant, and then transferred from lieutenant to prime minister!"

···

"Father is right."

"Ah Sheng can't interfere in this matter;"

"-This is not something that the prince can solve or interfere with."

"As for how the father dealt with this matter, how to deal with Zhou Yafu······"

"Hi~"

"Even if the father is really like back then, he secretly instructed someone and demolished the wall somewhere;"

"Ah Sheng, what can I do······

"Except for watching from the sidelines, Ah Sheng, what can he do?"

The words that were quite embarrassing also provoked Liu Sheng to shake his head and bow his head with a wry smile.

After standing silent for a moment, his fingers subconsciously reached to the side of his neck, where he could still feel the gully······

However, three or two years ago, it was also an old stubborn cow, forcing the Son of Heaven at that time to secretly instruct Chao to dig up the outer wall of the Taimiao;

And Liu Sheng, who accidentally entered, broke one side of the collarbone because he destroyed the plan of Tianzi Qi, and was angrily thrown by Tianzi Qi.

- That's it, it's because Liu Sheng 'didn't know in advance' and occupied the righteousness!

The righteousness of 'protecting the temple', coupled with factors such as 'young and ignorant' and 'young madness', Liu Shengcai withdrew from that incident at the cost of a broken collarbone.

But now, the situation is very different.

- The current Liu Sheng is already the crown prince of the Han family, not the 'ninth son of the emperor' in the past;

- Liu Sheng's mother is already Queen Jia who lives in Jiaofang Palace, not 'Mrs. Jia' who lived in Guangming Hall in the past.

As for Tianzi Qi, although it is the same as last time, he wants to deal with the prime minister of the Han family, but this time, Tianzi Qi wants to deal with Prime Minister Zhou Yafu, but it is because of Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng became the crown prince, Mrs. Jia became the queen, and the Son of Heaven Qi was busy thinking of ways to teach Zhou Yafu, the prime minister who prevented Liu Sheng and Queen Jia's mother and son from 'chicken and dog ascending to heaven'.

In such a situation, what should Liu Sheng do?

And what can be done?

No matter what kind of starting point it is, whether it is a rational judgment or the limitation of objective conditions, Liu Sheng's only choice is to wait.

Waiting for Zhou Yafu, after the ruthless training of Tianzi Qi, he made a choice between 'bowing his head and admitting his mistakes' and 'killing himself'.

"Alas~"

"I don't know who will be the prime minister of my Han family after the Tiaohou······"

The two brothers were relatively speechless, standing gloomily outside the main gate of the palace, standing with a stick of incense;

It wasn't until Liu Sheng's bitter and helpless feeling that the two brothers cheered up again, turned sideways, and walked towards the palace together.

While walking, Liu Pengzu did not forget to open his mouth to comfort and ridicule: "As long as it's not Zhou Yafu, it's actually okay?" ”

"After all, no one will be as stubborn and stubborn as Zhou Yafu, and stubborn to the point of unreasonableness······"

···

"But speaking of which, after Zhou Yafu, the one who has the best chance to be the prime minister should be Chao Cuo, right?"

"-The dog thief?!"

"—The dog thief who dared to dig the outer wall of the temple?!!"

"Ahem, ahem······"

"That incident, I'm afraid it won't make my father change his opinion about Chao Cuo?"

"-That's impossible!"

"-Not even the Marquis of Che, and you still want to be the prime minister?"

"-Hmph!!"

···

"Then who else but Chao Mistake?"

"-hmm······"

"--It's most likely Tao Qing."

"——Tao Qing was promoted to prime minister, and Chao was replaced as the imperial historian;"

"And then?"

"As in the past years, remote control Tao Qing behind the back?"

"—It depends on what the emperor wants."

"—most likely."

···

"Tao Qing~"

"Even if you become a prime minister, you shouldn't be able to do it for too long?"

During the conversation, the two brothers had already entered the palace and came to the side hall where Liu Sheng temporarily set up a 'grain sales office' a few months ago.

Not long after he moved in, Liu Sheng didn't have time to rearrange the upper and lower uterus.

Therefore, when the two of them walked into the side hall, the furnishings in the side hall were almost the same as a few months ago.

As for Liu Pengzu's last question, Liu Sheng did not give an answer.

- To be precise, I haven't had time to answer yet······

"Your Highness."

was lowering his head, thinking about the possibility that 'Tao Qing can't be the prime minister for too long', when a feminine tone reached his ears, causing Liu Sheng to subconsciously raise his head.

I saw that as far as Liu Sheng's eyes could see, Xia Que, the newly appointed Zhongshang Yizhong Juan (the head of the eunuchs of the Imperial Palace), was holding a letter of worship and standing outside the palace gate with a little anxiety.

"Prime Minister, please pass through the door and talk about ······"

"-Prime Minister?!!"

As soon as Xia Que's words fell, the two brothers let out an exclamation in unison!

After Xia Que nodded uneasily, he stepped forward at Liu Sheng's signal, and handed over the prayer post with a wooden board as the main body and wrapped in cloth that could be folded left and right, and the two brothers hurriedly leaned down and leaned their bodies towards each other.

With the rigorous attitude of 'not daring to make a mistake or omit a word', after carefully checking the prayer post, the two brothers looked at each other and straightened up;

From each other's gazes, the two brothers saw the same astonishment and dazed ······

"Zhou Yafu ······"

"What does that mean?"

Liu Pengzu took the lead in asking questions, which caused Liu Sheng to shake his head blankly.

After pondering again, he lowered his head firmly, and looked at the worship post again, and Liu Sheng's eyebrows became more and more suspicious.

"Isn't it true that ordinary people want to visit the host in person, say hello to the host in advance, and let the host be ready to welcome the guests?"

"Why did Zhou Yafu ask me to find him?"

"—and it's still going to Beiying???"

Regarding Liu Sheng's doubts, Liu Pengzu of course could not give an answer.

It's just that after a long period of thinking, Liu Pengzu finally straightened his waist with a stern expression, turned sideways with a solemn look, and looked at his younger brother in front of him.

"What does Ah Sheng want to do?"

"This Beiying, go, or not?"

Hearing this, Liu Sheng was dumbfounded for a while;

After a short period of thought, he fell into a long period of stupe······

- Zhou Yafu, what do you want to do???

- Zhou Yafu, what do you want??????
