The extremely concealed and very guiding deliberate rhetorical question made Xiao Liu Yan's white and tender eyebrows tightly twisted together;

The anxious look that flashed on his face from time to time was undoubtedly Xiao Liu Yu's instinctive desire to open his mouth and explain and excuse his uncle;

But in the end, Xiao Liu Yu rubbed the corners of his clothes with his anxious little hands, and never said a word.

——Whether Liu Sheng's words are true or false, of course, it is not something that Liu Yu, who is just five years old, can easily judge the conclusion.

From remembering things at the age of three or two to being just five years old now, these memories of just a few years can't make Liu Yu's knowledge reserve at all, including these little known and deliberately concealed by the people around him.

But there is one thing that Liu Yu can basically determine.

Brother Prince, there's no need to lie to yourself.

The eldest brother of the crown prince, there is no need to deceive the half-brother who is related to the blood connection in this kind of issue that is related to the friendship between Liu Yu and Tian Wei's uncle and nephew, and it is easy to judge who is right and wrong.

It's just that in this way, the hesitation in Xiao Liu Yu's heart can't help but become more and more intense······

"Uncle, are you really lying to me all along?"

"Could it be that the Changling Tian clan, where my uncle is located, is really a thief who steals the country - the descendants of the Tian Qi royal family, and the Changling Tian clan has been a chaotic minister and thief for generations since their ancestors?"

···

"The ······ of Lingyi"

"It seems that I have heard Mr. say: The system of Lingyi is for the sake of strengthening the foundation and weakening the end."

"That uncle, is it really the 'end' of 'strong and weak'?"

"The Changling Tian clan was moved into Changling by Emperor Taizu Gao, it was really not to protect the imperial tomb, but just to ······"

The more he thought about it, the tighter Xiao Liu Yan's brows locked, and the upper and lower lips were also tightly pursed into a straight line.

may be the first time in his life to think independently, which makes Liu Yu a little unaccustomed;

I don't know how long it took for Liu Yu to finally come to a conclusion.

——The focus at the moment is to judge the truth of Liu Sheng's words!

To be precise, it is to judge how true and false Liu Sheng's words are.

Subsequently, Liu Yu was able to judge how true and false his uncle Tian Wei was in the past.

And for His Royal Highness the five-year-old King of Jiaoxi, the best way to judge the authenticity of these things······

"Let's go."

"Look at the military workshop again, it's time to go back to Chang'an."

"——The imperial grandmother misses Ah Yan, and a few days ago, she also told me to take Ah Yu to Changle Palace to meet the imperial grandmother."

"Take a look around and see, go back to Chang'an before dark, maybe you can go to the imperial grandmother's place and have a delicious 'delicacies'?"

Seeing Xiao Liu Yu's entanglement, Liu Sheng naturally led the topic away, and did not deliberately leave a chance for his younger brother Liu Yu to personally consult the Empress Dowager Dou.

It's just that when he said this, Liu Sheng didn't forget to look at the change in the expression on this younger brother's face without a trace.

What Liu Sheng wanted to see most from Liu Yu's face was actually excitement.

——The prince met in the court, and the 'delicacies' that can be eaten by the side of the Empress Dowager Dou are, of course, some things that you can't usually eat.

If Liu Yu was excited by Liu Sheng's proposal to 'go to the imperial grandmother Zeng Dun beef to eat', it meant that His Royal Highness the King of Jiaoxi could barely be regarded as staying at a psychological age that was in line with his biological age.

Children~

It's normal to be gluttonous and delicious.

Of course, if Liu Yu is not happy about this, but is still silent in suspicion of his uncle Tian Wei, Liu Sheng can still accept it.

After all, no matter how you say it, it is also the royal family and the current prince;

A little precocious, there's nothing that doesn't make sense.

It's just that Liu Yu's next reaction was greatly beyond Liu Sheng's expectations.

"What the eldest brother of the prince means, my brother understands."

"When I get to Changle, my brother must ask the imperial grandmother to ask: why was the Changling Tian clan moved into Changling, and what is the purpose of the Lingyi system."

···

"Military workshop, my brother doesn't want to go."

"If my brother agrees, my brother wants to go back to the dormitory first."

With a grim face, he saw that Xiao Liu Yu ignored Liu Sheng's slightly surprised expression, and cautiously glanced at the summer bird beside Liu Sheng.

"The dormitory is a little farther away, and the younger brother is young;"

"I wonder if my brother can be ordered by CRRC to lead my brother to the dormitory first?"

The milky voice, but the serious words on people's faces only caused the Xia Que on the side to panic!

Hurriedly looked up at Liu Sheng beside him, and just after thinking about Liu Sheng, his deep eyes were full of deep meaning.

"That's fine."

"Ah Yu is young, and after walking so many ways, he should be tired."

"Summer Sparrow~"

"Go;"

"Take King Jiaoxi, let's go back to the dormitory first."

···

"After settling down the king of Jiaoxi, prepare the carriage and horses."

"After an hour, return to Chang'an."

·

Seeing his younger brother Liu Yu's face tense, and the back when Xia Que was carefully led to the dormitory, Liu Sheng slowly put his hands behind his back, and let out a long sigh.

On Liu Sheng's side, Shaofu Liu She, who had been following Liu Sheng's side, finally found an opportunity to speak.

"His Royal Highness to the King of Jiaoxi~"

"Hey ······"

"Say something arrogant: the friendship between His Royal Highness and King Jiaoxi seems to be even more ······ than between His Royal Highness and the seventh son of the emperor."

"Heh, hehe······"

Hearing that Liu She deliberately wanted to be close, but vaguely referred to other words, Liu Sheng only smiled and shook his head.

"In the past, Taohou was a servant, and there was basically no contact with me."

"Maybe I don't know."

"—I'm a person who doesn't like to go around the bush."

"What do you have to say, Taohou can say it bluntly?"

The words only made Liu She's face stagnant slightly;

Seeing that Liu Sheng turned around indifferently, he naturally put his hand on Liu She's back, pushed it gently, and walked towards another workshop not far away.

"Shaofu and my father, but there has been a friendship between monarchs and ministers for nearly twenty years."

"I am close to my father and the emperor, and the Shaofu is in front of me, so naturally I don't have to be too polite."

"They're all straightforward people, so why bother with those twists and turns?"

···

"Ah Yan, this younger brother, is a lonely heart disease."

"And Shaofu is the henchman of my father's palace for many years."

"If you have anything to say, Shaofu can just say it bluntly."

"Father's old minister, humerus henchman, can Lone still be prepared?"

Hearing Liu Sheng's words, Liu She's heart that had been slightly suspended before could be regarded as a little back in place.

recalled the image of Gongzisheng and Taizisheng in the eyes of the world in the past few years, and looked at the cloudy smile on Liu Sheng's face in front of him;

Qiang smiled and lowered his head, thinking for a moment, Liu She finally accepted Liu Sheng's vague kindness.

"Your Highness's words are serious, and your words are ······"

···

"The dignity of the monarch and the ministers must always be kept in mind."

"Your Majesty is close to the minister, that is Your Majesty's kindness, it is Your Majesty's kindness to the minister;"

"If the ministers ignore the dignity of the monarch and the ministers because of His Majesty's closeness, I am afraid that he will fail His Majesty."

"And Your Highness is also the king of the ministers."

"In front of the monarch, there is absolutely no reason for your subordinates to be pampered and coquettish······"

As he spoke, Liu She never forgot to have a surging smile on his face that was not flattering, but it was definitely humble enough.

And after Liu She's vague gesture, Liu Sheng smiled on his face, and then brought a little sincerity.

- has been the crown prince for so long, even if Liu Sheng is a dumbfounder, he should always have some special skills that a politician should have.

And smirking and fake politeness are one of the first skills Liu Sheng learned.

Perhaps these skills, Liu Sheng now, has not yet fully mastered them, or they have reached the point of being able to integrate them and reach the peak.

But with such a 'grandmaster' level figure as Tianzi Qi teaching him by hand, it is only a matter of time before Liu Sheng fully masters these skills······

"It's worthy of being a peach marquis~"

"Even in this forest, in this private occasion, I never forget the duty of a courtier."

"It's no wonder that the previous emperors of my Han family, all the way to my father, have been very kind to Taohou, and they are all confidants."

"—Your Highness;"

"——The ministers and the ancestors of the past generations have just done their duty."

"—Your Highness praises it so much, minister, I really don't dare to be a ······"

"Taohou is too humble······"

Walking together, and then being polite with Liu She, Liu Sheng quickly put the topic on track.

The first thing Liu Sheng asked about made Liu She, who had prepared the draft earlier, was ready to go, and was ready to answer at any time on food, money and other matters, a little unexpected······

"With Taohou as the Shaofu, my father couldn't be more relieved."

"Father, don't worry, I naturally have no reason to worry."

"——The matter of the food and money system will be handed over to Taohou for specific handling, and I am 10,000 assured."

"When I came to Shanglin today, I had another important matter, but it was inconvenient to meet and talk privately with Shaofu in Chang'an······

···

"Before becoming a Shaofu, Taohou was a servant for many years."

"And the servant, although his duty is to serve the Son of Heaven, what really matters is actually Ma Zheng."

"Especially now, my Han family is recuperating, the monarchs and ministers endure humiliation and burden, and they can't raise their heads or straighten their waists in front of the Northern Barbarian Huns, and the horse politics in charge of the servants is especially critical."

···

"After last autumn, the northern barbarians brazenly went south, destroyed the Yanmen Garden of my Han family, and kidnapped tens of thousands of horses;"

"The servant Yuan Ang has just taken office, and he hasn't even sorted out the affairs of the servant office, so I'm afraid he hasn't taken care of Ma Zheng at all."

"So it's more appropriate to ask Taohou about Ma Zheng's business?"

Seeing that Liu Sheng didn't ask about food or compulsion, but instead used 'Taohou had been a servant before' as the starting point, which led to the matter of Ma Zheng, Liu She was secretly slightly surprised;

But after a short period of thought, Liu She also nodded slowly with a condensed face.

- Liu Sheng is right.

After quickly quelling the Wu Chu Rebellion and basically solving the primary internal problem of 'separating the clan relatives and princes' through follow-up measures, the strategic focus of the Han family has now shifted visibly to the naked eye.

To put it more bluntly, the strategic focus of the Han family, from the past wary of the Kwantung clan princes, is rapidly moving to the northern Xiongnu.

And under this premise, Ma Zheng, which is in charge of the servant master, has naturally become the key to the defense of the northern wall, and even the decisive battle between Han and Hungary in the future.

is also as Liu Sheng said: Ma Zheng's matter, compared to Yuan An, who has just become a servant and has not even recognized the team, is obviously still here with Liu She, and he can get the answer that Liu Sheng wants.

Thinking about this, Liu She's face was only slightly straight, and his temperament instantly became serious.

Seeing Liu She's posture of 'being a servant for so many years, and asking questions related to Ma Zheng casually', Liu Sheng also smiled a little.

"Please tell me as carefully as possible: What stage is the Ma Zheng of my Han family in today?"

"Is it just beginning, or are you waiting for the harvest, or are you already getting to the point where you can harvest the fruit?"

"If you want to speed up the progress of Ma Zheng, what do you think can be done by the servant?"

"If you can't speed it up, what should you do to ensure that my Han family's horse administration can enter the harvest stage smoothly according to the original plan?"

···

"To put it more bluntly: as the crown prince, what can I do for the prince?"

"Is there anything I can do, should do, and that can provide practical help to the servant, or solve specific difficulties?"

Since he started talking, Liu Shengzi didn't make many detours, and only made his attitude straightforward.

- I want to push the servant Ma Zheng, it is best to speed up the progress, and if it is not good, it cannot slow down the progress;

And Liu Sheng's frank attitude also made Liu She feel a kind of sigh and regret in his heart······

"Your Highness has such ambitions, if Your Majesty knows about it, you will also be gratified."

"It's just that the servant Ma Zheng, since the time of Emperor Taizu Gao, has never been a matter that can be explained in three or two sentences······"

···

"Alas······"

"Since Emperor Taizu Gao and the Xiongnu Shan Yu: Hunting Pingcheng and being under the siege of Baideng, Ma Zheng has become the top priority of my Han court."

"This is because of a battle of Pingcheng, which bluntly told Emperor Taizu Gao, as well as the generals of Zhou Bo and Guan Ying at that time: If there are not enough cavalry, my Han family will always be bullied by the Huns."

"And to form a cavalry army, you need a sufficient number of war horses."

"It's just that the place where my Han family raised horses - Henan, when the chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, was the first to reach the ······ for the Northern Barbarian Huns"

Full of sighs and melancholy, Liu She couldn't help shaking his head, and then let out a sigh;

Subsequently, several major difficulties in the Ma administration of the Han family were also placed in front of the crown prince Liu Sheng by Liu She, an experienced 'professional' who has served for many years.

"Not having a large enough place to raise horses is the number one obstacle to my Han family's horse administration."

"In order to solve this problem, Emperor Taizong Gao tried to fight a big war with the Huns to recover Henan."

"It's just that Liu Xingju, the king of Jibei, rebelled, so that the first emperor's plan was all in vain;"

"The focus of my Han family's horse administration, also under the decision of Emperor Taizong, has changed from 'recovering the land of Henan to raising horses' to setting up horse gardens near the north wall."

"This is undoubtedly the second best thing."

"And even this method of 'retreating to the second' attracted the vigilance of the Huns at the end of last year······"
