The crown prince plays against His Majesty!

Almost in just a few hours, this explosive news spread to every corner of Chang'an City.

Playing against the Son of Heaven?

Prince, is this because you can't live long?

······

Jokes are jokes, and the real focus of public opinion has finally returned to the normal point.

——When the young secretary of the court, the great-grandson of Xiao He, the marquis of Yuwen, the eighth 'Marquis of Yu': Xiao Sheng, Marquis of Wuyang, committed suicide by swallowing gold in the Hou Mansion shortly after walking out of Weiyang Palace that day.

——It is said that in the Weiyang Palace that day, in addition to the prince Sheng and Tianzi Qi, who were playing against each other, the current Uncle Lu Xiangtian was also present.

After learning about these 'intelligence's and roughly connecting them, the gossip parties in Chang'an City quickly spread several versions of 'secret stories' and 'anecdotes'.

It's just that before these rumors have had time to spread, another news came from the palace, which caused the gossip parties in the entire Chang'an City to fall into a very strange silence.

——After walking out of Weiyang Palace together, Uncle Lu Xiangtian stepped into the palace at the invitation of Prince Liu Sheng······

·

"Brother Lu went out hunting, and asked Lu Xiang to sell me a thin noodle."

"After all, in this matter, Brother Lu Wang was invited by me, and I was soft and hard, so he reluctantly agreed to go together."

"If there is a gap between Lu Xiang and Brother Wang because of this incident, then I will be very unhappy in my heart······"

Inviting Uncle Tian to enter the Taigong Jiaguan, the guests of honor sat down separately, Liu Sheng only had a half-joking tone, and opened the conversation with Liu Yu, the king of Lu, who was invited to go to Shanglin Yuan and hunt with his brothers.

But in stark contrast to Liu Sheng's relaxed and casual posture, almost after stepping into the palace, Uncle Tian's serious face, which was already not allowed to enter, became more and more dignified······

"Your Highness, it's serious."

"As a subordinate, there is naturally no reason to prevent the king from doing something, or even to not allow the king to do something."

"—When the monarch commits a mistake, the only thing his subordinates can do is to exhort;

"If the monarch does not accept it, his subordinates can only insist on persuasion, and there is no other way······"

···

"As for the king, his nature is not stubborn, and he is not too inconsistent with his identity;"

"It's just that he loves to hunt and doesn't care about government affairs, which is really inappropriate."

"In the past, the minister only relied on his own slightly older, the king a little younger, not as weak as the crown, and His Majesty entrusted the duties of the minister 'King Fu' to dissuade the king a little."

"—To this day, although the king is still not crowned, he is almost at the age of being crowned;"

"At the invitation of the prince, going out on a safari with his siblings is also a matter of course."

"Your Highness, there is really no need to ······ the ministers because of this matter."

stopped talking at the right time, and squeezed out a smile at Liu Shengqiang, indicating that he 'really didn't go to his heart', and Uncle Tian quickly retracted the smile on his face;

Although he didn't speak immediately, the cloudy face also made Liu Sheng see at a glance: Uncle Tian at this time should have a lot of words to say to himself······

"The events of the east and west cities, Ziqinggong, should have seen it with his own eyes, right?"

"Lone almost did it himself, and single-handedly promoted the government of money and food, what did it look like by the chaotic ministers and thieves, Ziqinggong, should already know it?"

Seeing Uncle Tian's sullen expression that wanted to speak and stopped, and did not vomit unpleasantly, Liu Sheng did not make many detours.

And Liu Sheng's almost self-explosive opening remarks were really a bit unexpected by Uncle Tian.

"The minister went to the East City ······"

"Is His Highness behind ······?"

Meaningfully said a word, Uncle Tian did not forget to frown slightly, and cast a tentative gaze on Liu Sheng's relaxed face with a shallow smile.

But for the question raised by Uncle Tian, Liu Sheng did not give a direct answer.

only smiled paradoxically, and saw that Liu Sheng also took away most of the smile on his face;

Xuan Wei involuntarily sat up straight, with a face that seemed indifferent, but in fact it was obviously grim, and looked directly at Uncle Tian who was in the guest seat.

"I found out about these things very early."

"Not even in recent months, not even this year!"

"——As early as when I had not yet been sealed and lived in the imperial palace, just as a 'Gongzi Sheng', presiding over the stabilization of grain prices in Guanzhong, I had already discovered that whenever the Chang'an court wanted to do something, there would always be people who would obstruct it and use power and respect for personal gain."

"It's just that at that time, I wasn't even a prince;"

"The grain matter is over, and I can only kill a few insignificant businessmen and insignificant little nobles, and vent my anger a little."

"This time, I have begun to work on the unification of the currency system again, and there are even fewer people who make trouble and profit from it;"

"-Shaofu, it's just one of the few people I can play, or even just a pawn in the hands of 'those people'."

"Those who really enrich their own pockets in matters such as food and money, and even in matters related to the treasury of the Shaofu and the prime minister's treasury······"

"Ziqinggong, you should know the ······ in your heart"

Dropping this question with a grim face, seeing that Uncle Tian showed a frowning and contemplative look, Liu Sheng was not in a hurry to urge;

took a deep breath, mixed with the stuffy breath in his chest and slowly exhaled it, and then leisurely looked at the old man in front of him, who was white and white, but full of energy.

- Uncle Tian, he is already very old.

It is no exaggeration to say: This Tian Shu Tian Ziqing is the same era as Liu Sheng's deceased teacher, the late Marquis Shen Tujia, the Marquis of An Zhenwu.

To put it simply: Uncle Tian, like Shen Tujia, is the only remaining 'Taizu relict' of the Han family.

It's just that from a certain point of view, Shen Tujia has always been 'Hanchen' from beginning to end, and Uncle Tian first entered the government as a prince Wang Keqing;

But from another point of view: as early as the late Anhou Shen Tujia, when he was still standing like ants in that era when fierce generals were like clouds and famous ministers were like rain, Tian Shu Tian Ziqing had already made a lot of fame.

- Before Emperor Taizu Gao was the emperor, Shentu Jiadu had always been an ordinary middle-level officer in the army;

Even after the founding of the Han family and before the death of Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang, the highest achievement of Shen Tujia was only a local county guard.

But as early as when Emperor Taizu Gao was still alive and was busy cutting off the princes with different surnames, the name of 'Tian Shu Tian Ziqing' had spread throughout the world.

When it was, Emperor Taizu Gao ordered his troops and generals, and finally cut off the 'scissors' of the princes with different surnames and pointed them to his son-in-law: Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao.

Soon after, Zhao Xianggao conspired to assassinate the Son of Heaven in an unsuccessful attempt, and Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, was implicated and sent to Chang'an for questioning.

During this period, Emperor Taizu Gao once made it clear: No matter who dares to intercede for Zhang Ao in front of him, he will be guilty of the three clans!

It was in this context that more than a dozen people, including Uncle Tian and Meng Shu, spontaneously set off from Handan, the capital of Zhao, and accompanied Zhang Ao to Chang'an.

Before leaving, Uncle Tian and the others were willing to wear russet prison clothes, shaved off their hair, put torture instruments around their necks, and set off with the brigade of Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, who was detained by the court captain;

When someone asked, Uncle Tian and the others said: You look at our appearance, can't you see it?

We are the servants of King Zhao!

If the master is going to die for sin, can the slave still live in secret?

Even if you want to sin against the three tribes, the slave should live and die with the master!

This matter spread in Chang'an, and the old Qin people all gave a thumbs up to more than a dozen people, including Uncle Tian, and praised them: Loyal servant!

Later, Xu really found out the case of Guan Gao's rebellion, which had nothing to do with his son-in-law Zhang Ao, or perhaps he couldn't resist the pleas of his daughter Princess Lu Yuan and the pressure of his wife Lu Pheasant, Liu Bang finally ordered: Zhang Ao was acquitted.

It's just that the release is released, and the cancer of the princes with different surnames should still be cut;

Therefore, even if it has nothing to do with the Guan Gao case, Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, was still demoted to Zhang Ao, the Marquis of Xuanping.

That is, after Zhang Ao was seized of the throne and demoted to the Marquis of Che, and regained his freedom at the expense of this, the deeds of more than a dozen 'loyal servants of King Zhao', including Uncle Tian, began to spread all over the country and were praised by people all over the world······

"I heard that as soon as Ziqing Gong arrived in Lu to take office, more than 100 people took the initiative to come to the door and accused Brother Lu of secretly instructing his servants to steal the people's property."

"Upon learning of this, Ziqing Gong immediately grabbed the twenty people led by him, each of whom was beaten with fifty boards, and the rest of the people were each beaten with twenty palms."

"Ziqing Gong said to them: King Lu, isn't it your monarch?"

"As a people, how dare you slander the monarch!"

"When Brother Lu heard about this, he felt very ashamed and took out the money from the inner treasury to let Ziqing Gong repay them."

"——Ziqing Gong also said: The king himself took it, let the minister of state repay, this is the king doing bad things, and the minister of state doing good deeds;"

"The minister of state cannot participate in the repayment, and the king should do it himself."

"So Brother Lu personally repaid all the extra property to the people······

···

"I heard that as early as the time of Emperor Taizu Gao, both inside and outside the government and the opposition were saying: Tian Shu Tian Ziqing may be the most loyal person in the world;"

"After that, Ziqing served as the local county guard and the court of 2,000 stones, and he never disappointed Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Xiaohui, as well as the first emperor and his father."

"From Emperor Taizu Gao's establishment of the Han Dynasty, until now, my Han family has been in ruins;"

"——Along the way, the hardships and difficulties faced by my Han family, Ziqinggong, are all in my eyes."

"Of course, what my Han family is going to do next, Ziqing Gong, will never be without a premonition."

"Under such circumstances, there are still people who spare no effort to sabotage, dragging down my Han family, my Liu Han Sheji, and even the people of the world······"

"-Ziqinggong, shouldn't you be able to sit still?"

After waiting patiently for a long time, he still didn't see Uncle Tian have the intention of speaking, so Liu Sheng told some more past events to show Uncle Tian his intentions again.

It was only at this time that Uncle Tian eased up from his contemplation a little, sat up straight again, and put on a posture of answering;

It's just Uncle Tian's concern, but it makes Liu Shengpo feel a little strange.

To be precise: it is Uncle Tian's scheming, which has reached the point where Liu Sheng is amazed······

"It's been more than a year since the minister left Chang'an;"

"For the matter of Chang'an, minister, I'm afraid I'm still a little unfamiliar."

"What His Highness just said, the minister can roughly understand."

"Why did His Highness say this to the minister, the minister also has a rough idea in his heart."

"It's just that before discussing these things, there is a sentence that must be reminded of His Highness."

"--These things, I'm afraid they are not things that the crown prince should meddle in easily?"

said this worriedly, and saw Uncle Tian sigh slightly;

Looking at Liu Sheng's gaze, although he could still see respect and humility, more of it was a worry that did not contain the slightest personal position······

"Your Royal Highness should understand that the most important responsibility of the crown prince is to conscientiously study the principles of governing the country and the people, so as not to corrupt the temples and societies left by the ancestors in the future;"

"As for the affairs of the DPRK and China, for His Royal Highness, for the crown prince, it should not be a matter that needs to be solved urgently, but only something that can be used for reference and learning."

"—As the saying goes: there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two lords in the earth."

"Although the prince is also a king, the word 'reserve' is not a real king."

"Or it should be said: Chujun, if you have to remove a word, it is obviously more appropriate to remove the word 'Jun' than to remove the word 'Chu'."

"In other words: the prince is the prince, not the prince······"

···

"Now, His Royal Highness, as the crown prince, has been entrusted by His Majesty with important tasks to preside over the affairs of money and grain;"

"The matter of food, the minister has heard people talk about it, and His Highness has indeed handled it very properly."

"And now, His Highness has to preside over the money system again;"

"Even the food that has been completed is now mixed with the money system."

"——These two are both major matters related to the foundation of the country and the safety of the Zongmiao Society.

"And now, from these two things, the minister sees the harbingers of chaos and calamity······

With an extremely solemn look, as if he had already given birth to the center of the disaster, he said these words that were quite 'sensational', and Uncle Tian let out another bitter sigh;

After seeing that Liu Sheng did not disagree, but slowly nodded with the same stern expression, Uncle Tian readjusted his face and continued: "Your Highness's meaning, the minister understands. ”

"-Your Highness, I want Chen, the relict of Taizu, to take over the post of internal history left by Chao Cuo, as well as the mess Chao Cuo caused in Guanzhong."

"Of course, the minister has no opinion on this;"

"As a subordinate, you should never have an opinion on the king's call."

"Just one thing, Your Highness, please don't take it lightly."

"—These things should be planned, arranged, and promoted by His Majesty alone."

···

"His Royal Highness, the crown prince, but he recommended to His Majesty the internal history of the whole affairs of Guanzhong and the monstrous authority······"

"Forgive the minister's words: if something goes wrong, your majesty and the crown prince will have a dislike before, and even suspicion······

"Alas······"

"-This is probably the biggest disaster for the world······"
