Respectfully bidding farewell to his grandmother, Empress Dowager Dou, and withdrawing from Changle Palace in a low-key manner, Liu Sheng went straight back to his palace.

Just a few days later, he was led to the side hall of the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace by the palace sent by the Son of Heaven.

Liu Sheng originally thought that the Son of Heaven called him to come because of his previous sentence 'It is not yet time for a decisive battle', and the Hun mission that was about to arrive in Chang'an.

But the first question that Tianzi Qi asked was greatly beyond Liu Sheng's expectations······

"Huns, force me to make peace again;"

"Almost at the same time, Mrs. Wang invited her, hoping to use her daughter for her relatives."

"Soon after, Tian Wei began to frequently enter and leave the Tangyi Marquis's Mansion, and every time he came to the door, he came with a full load and returned empty-handed."

"A few days ago, the eldest princess went to Changle and met the queen mother······"

When Liu Sheng walked into the hall, the Son of Heaven Qi was sitting upright on the first imperial couch, and he was looking at the bamboo slips in his hand;

After Liu Sheng saw the courtesy, Tianzi Qi said this 'inexplicable' words to himself, and then raised the bamboo slip in his hand.

When the words fell, he didn't forget to hand the bamboo slip to the eunuch Ling Chuntuo beside him, and asked Chuntuo to take the bamboo slip to Liu Sheng, who was kneeling in the center of the hall.

"What does these things mean, Your Highness won't not know, right?"

"Why did the situation develop to such a point, and what key did Your Highness miss, Your Highness should also know it?"

whispered a few words to Liu Sheng, and Tianziqi did not forget to raise his hand and waved it lightly to his side;

Only a moment later, in the huge side hall, only the father and son were left.

Even the eunuch Ling Chuntuo, as if he had been instructed a long time ago, retreated to the palace gate, and did not forget to bring the palace gate with him······

"The matter of harmony, decided?"

"-I'm asking you~"

"—didn't ask you to ask me the other way around."

subconsciously opened his mouth to ask, but was interrupted by the Son of Heaven, and Liu Sheng had to step forward with a stiff smile.

He sat down by himself, and put the hem of his robe on his thighs rather casually.

"When the teacher was still alive, he once told me and Brother Qi: Some things are far from being as simple as they seem."

"—For example, Emperor Taizu Gao, who once wanted to make Liu Ruyi, the king of Yili, the king of Zhao, the prince;"

"In the eyes of outsiders, this matter must be that Emperor Taizu Gao does not like Emperor Xiaohui, and he really loves Mrs. Qi, so he loves the house and Wu, and wants to establish Mrs. Qi's son as the crown prince."

"But actually?"

"In fact, Emperor Taizu Gao couldn't be clearer: Liu Ruyi, the king of Zhao, is far inferior to Emperor Xiaohui in terms of age, talent, and the help that his maternal relatives can provide."

"Emperor Taizu Gao showed that he liked King Zhao and the evil prince, but he just wanted to spur the filial piety emperor who was called 'benevolent and weak' by the community."

"Although in the end, Emperor Xiaohui still failed to change his too benevolent and weak character, but Emperor Taizu Gao did not really appoint King Zhao as the crown prince because of this."

"As for later, Empress Dowager Lu killed Mrs. Qi and Liu Ruyi's mother and son with a grudge, it's not that she doesn't know this;"

"Empress Dowager Lu just wants to use this to tell everyone who looks down on Emperor Xiaohui: no matter who poses a threat to Emperor Xiaohui, or even just wants to pose a threat, Empress Dowager Lu will eradicate him mercilessly."

"In other words, Empress Dowager Lu killed Mrs. Qi's mother and son, she was killing chickens and monkeys to make an example of the monkey and deter the government and the opposition······"

···

"Another example is the first emperor, who also showed his favor for King Liang Huai and wanted to abolish the crown prince to Yi Li."

"Most outsiders also think that this is because the first emperor favored Mrs. Shen, so he loved the house and Wu, so he wanted Mrs. Shen's son to be the prince."

"But actually?"

"- Actually, the first emperor showed the idea of 'with the king of Liliang', it was after the prince of the prince at that time smashed the prince of Wu to death with a chessboard."

"The first emperor wanted to use this to tell, and even warn the crown prince at that time: If you don't converge, your position will change."

"In the end, the first emperor also did not have Yi Li, and later he had a bad disease, and he also ordered the prince to supervise the country."

"And under the vigilance of the first emperor, the crown prince at that time has now become the ······ above the heads of tens of millions of people in the world."

Speaking in a calm tone, Liu Sheng didn't forget to smile and shake his head;

Under the profound gaze of Tianzi Qi, Liu Sheng naturally lowered his head and sighed slightly.

"Actually, my father has also done something like this."

"——In the seventh year after Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, the sons and daughters did not change things, and they beat the generals of the court when they were in the middle of the court;"

"After this incident, although the sons were punished, they also showed the name of 'benevolence and filial piety'."

"It was at that time that my father was dissatisfied with his eldest brother's obedience to Li Ji's words, so he used his sons as pawns, wanting to create some sense of urgency for his eldest brother."

"——The father sent his son to the teacher, the prime minister at the time: the late Anhou Shen Tujia."

"——The father wants to use this to tell the eldest brother: If you don't show the decisiveness that the prince should have, then it is not something that the father can't do······"

"Erchen, you shouldn't be wrong, right?"

I don't know if it's Liu Sheng's delusion;

When listening to Liu Sheng talk about these things, there seemed to be a look of good time and even interest on Tianziqi's face?

Seeing that his father showed no signs of anger, Liu Sheng did not hesitate any longer, only lowered his head with a wry smile, and gently brushed the back of his hands on his chest with the backs of his hands.

"Now, it's Erchen's turn?"

"When it is the turn of the sons, they must be warned by their father: if they are not cautious in their words and deeds, the ninth son of the emperor will be victorious by the father, and the tenth son of the emperor will be established by himself······"

···

"Aunt Guantao is indeed a capricious person."

"But there's one thing, Aunt Guantao will never be mistaken."

"—Father's thoughts, and what he wants to achieve."

"Everything Aunt Guantao has done will never be something that my father does not want to see and does not want to happen."

"So, everything at the moment is not so much that Mrs. Wang is about to move, but that Aunt Tao is at both ends of the snake and rat;"

"It's better to say that my father hopes so, Aunt Guantao is blessed, and Mrs. Wang is fishing in troubled waters······"

"After all, compared to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is undoubtedly a more honorable honor to fight for······"

···

···

······

After Liu Sheng's extremely straightforward and undisguised inner thoughts were spoken, the father and son looked at each other speechlessly and were silent for a long time.

In the end, the Son of Heaven only said a word lightly, which made Liu Sheng bow his head helplessly, and for a while, he didn't know how to respond······

"How?"

"Dare to bet?"

"——Dare to bet on me, just to 'wake up' His Highness, and not really want Yi Chu to set up another one?"

"Do you dare to take the queen, Mrs. Bo, and the seventh prince together to bet on this game???

Liu Sheng was silent.

Liu Sheng was eager to say something;

But it's like a scalper with a nose ring: Liu Sheng at this moment was accurately held by Tianzi Qi.

Liu Sheng could only keep his head down.

But what the Son of Heaven asked for was to make Liu Sheng raise his head······

"People can have weaknesses;"

"There can be people who care, can't let go, and are even willing to give everything for it."

"But the emperor can't."

"Emperor, you can't have a soft underbelly;"

"The emperor, you can't care about anyone, you can't let go of anyone, and you must not give everything you can for anyone."

···

"Now that you've seen it through, let's talk about it."

"Even if you see it through, Your Highness's focus should not be on me, the 'man behind the scenes'."

"Instead of worrying about whether I dare to set up another prince, it is better to think about it: right now, what can Your Highness do to reverse the decline;"

"What can I learn from this matter—from my venerable teachings, Your Highness······"

Throwing out this last question, the Son of Heaven couldn't bear to be tired, and the sheep made a leisurely appearance, lying down on his side lightly.

And Liu Sheng's attention, as Tianziqi said and expected, quickly shifted to the place where he should really pay attention.

"What Mrs. Wang wants, needless to say."

"As for Aunt Guantao, first, she felt her father's intentions, or she was instructed by her father;"

"The second is that the price offered by Mrs. Wang is indeed enough to make Aunt Guantao's heart move."

"As for the three ······"

···

"Third, it is also the reason why the imperial grandmother was suspicious and summoned me to Changle and beat me with words."

"-Aunt Guantao and the imperial grandmother are worried that the sons will rebel and make someone else the queen in the future, instead of Gillian."

"In order to avoid this possibility, Aunt Guantao contacted Mrs. Wang, first, to leave a way out for herself, and secondly, to urge her sons."

···

"As for coping, it's not that hard."

"The imperial grandmother can trust her sons, and after that day's beating, the imperial grandmother will not have any doubts about her sons, at least for a short time."

"But Aunt Guantao is a shrewd person."

"In order to reassure Aunt Guantao and completely stabilize the East Palace, the choice made by Erchen is to marry ······Gillian as soon as possible."

"—then why is it dragging?"

"-Why haven't you taken the initiative to mention this matter until now?"

"--Knowing these internal and external reasons, why can't you be more decisive?"

"—Could it be that the crown prince I have chosen is an indecisive, forward-looking—another filial emperor???"

When Liu Sheng gave his answer, Tianzi Qi was lying on his side on the couch, his elbows against him, supporting his head with his palms, facing Liu Sheng with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep;

But when he opened his mouth to interrupt Liu Sheng, Tianzi Qi quietly opened his eyes, and the gaze that fell on Liu Sheng couldn't see the slightest temperature.

There was another moment of silence that was not for a short time, which made Liu Sheng involuntarily lower his head, I don't know if it was because he was speechless, or because he was ashamed of his unspeakable answer.

In the end, it was still the Son of Heaven, who ended today's conversation with a serious and cold tone.

"I ask you if you dare to bet on your mother, your brother, and Mrs. Bo;"

"—you bow your head, which means you don't dare."

"Since I don't dare to gamble, I am not sure if this prince can sit firmly - sit until the day I close my eyes."

"If you don't dare to gamble, then you should do everything you can to stabilize your current authority;"

"But because you are looking forward and backward, you are hanging, and you almost lost the position of the prince because of a woman, a girl who is younger than you, a yellow-haired boy."

···

"And then?"

"What are you going to do?"

"If this time, the Queen Mother does not summon you to Changle, but sends you a letter of deposing Yiyi, what will you do?"

"Do you think you can be the king of Linjiang with the same peace of mind as Rong??"

"-You really think that whoever is stupid like you, can leave a brother who is older than himself and almost became the prince of the prince to survive in the world???"

Source change app】

"-I really think that the future prince and prince can accommodate your mother and son??????"

···

"On the one hand, the safety of my mother and brother, as well as my own future;"

"On the other hand, it is to marry a girl who has just been weaned for a few years."

"—Is it hard to choose???"

"I don't know how to choose, what will happen in the future?"

"In the future, if you have to make a choice between the righteousness of the world and the people of the world, what will you do?"

"Still waiting for me to kick open the coffin board, crawl out of the ground with dirt, and support the scene for you, the 'young and weak king'?"

"Or do you expect two outsiders and two women from Changle Palace, two old women with foreign surnames, to make this decision about Zongmiao Sheji for you?!

！

”

···

···

······

"Marry Gillian."

"I once said to Rong: marry Gillian."

"Rong agreed, but he didn't do it;"

"So, Rong became the king of Linjiang."

"Now, I'm telling you: marry Gillian."

"Of course you will."

"But if you can't do it, then your future fate will definitely not be as good as Rong."

"—Little Ten, like me."

"—I can't rub sand in my eyes."

"If you don't marry Gillian, you will become the sand in Xiao Shi's eyes in the future······"

"When the time comes, this grain of sand, I, will personally pick it out for Xiao Shi······"

After finishing this preaching, Tianzi Qi didn't even look at Liu Sheng, so he closed his eyes again with a watery face.

And under the pressure of the Son of Heaven who shrouded the entire hall, all Liu Sheng could do was to bow down, and then lightly retreat from the hall.

No one knew: the moment Liu Sheng walked out of the temple gate, the eyes of the Son of Heaven opened again with a bang······

"This kid, you should understand what I mean, right?"

···

"Hey, stinky boy······"

···

"Little Ten~"

"Alas······"

"I'm still too young."

"If not······

"Hi ·········"

···

···

······

"Chuntuo~"

"—Your Majesty."

"Go;"

"Tell Neishi: The prince has something to do, and he wants to consult with Neishi."

"Find another opportunity to vaguely mention Uncle Tian: Hejian, Jiangdu, Changsha and other dynasties have been in Chang'an for more than a month, and according to the ancestral system, it is time to leave Beijing and go to the country."

"-······"

"Hmm."

"Get me the Shaofu again."

"The Huns are here and want to send them away, but I'm afraid it's ······ again"

"-·········"
