"If this is really the case, then Your Majesty's condition is probably really serious."

The womb, the side hall 'lecture hall'.

It is said that it is a martial arts hall, but in fact, it is to cut a part of the original side hall and block it with a screen.

And this lecture hall that seems to fall from the sky is obviously Liu Sheng's order to greet Zhou Yafu, who also seems to have fallen from the sky.

"What do you mean by that?"

Seeing that Zhou Yafu made an inference without thinking, Liu Sheng naturally took over the conversation.

After this period of high-frequency word exchange, Liu Sheng and Zhou Yafu can be regarded as understanding each other's temperament.

- Zhou Yafu is principled, has a bottom line, and is very stubborn, but he is also a rare cheerful person;

And Liu Shengxi is righteous and evil, although his mouth has been damaged, he is still a frank person.

After this period of getting along day and night, Liu Sheng and Zhou Yafu have developed a rather strange way of communication;

For Zhou Yafu's sentence that pops up at every turn, and any sentence that can make people shocked, Liu Sheng has long been accustomed to it.

"If the minister remembers correctly, the family should have been born in the fourteenth year of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen;"

"When the first emperor died, the family was already nine years old, and when His Majesty was in charge of the crown prince, the family was already at the age of remembering?"

asked with a blank face, in exchange for Liu Shengwei nodded, and saw Zhou Yafu leaning his upper body back slightly.

"Since that's the case, even if the family doesn't know everything about those things back then, there should be some residual memories······"

···

"——In the second year after Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, Zhang Shizhi, the court commander, impeached the prince of the dynasty for the last time: mistaking the palace ban, entering the Sima Gate, galloping the palace and other crimes."

"Emperor Taizong Xiaowen pleaded again and again, but Zhang Tingwei was still unwilling to forgive, and the first emperor had no choice but to take off his hat again to apologize, and on the grounds of 'being fair and upright', he gave Zhang Tingwei a sword."

"In the summer of the same year, the prince played the Son of Heaven: Zhang Ou, the Marquis of Anqiu, was quite successful in his penal studies, and he was invited to be the court lieutenant prison."

"The first emperor replied: can ······"

Listening to Zhou Yafu talk about this old past, Liu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

Of course, Liu Sheng had no impression of this incident back then.

- Liu Sheng was only six years old at the time!

The most important thing is: Liu Sheng at that time was still thinking about where the king would be sealed in the future, so he didn't pay attention to it at all, and he didn't want to pay attention to it, and he didn't dare to pay attention to these things inside and outside the government and the opposition.

As for where Liu Sheng knew these things, it has to be about half a year ago, when Huainan Prime Minister Zhang Shizhi died of illness in office, Liu Sheng asked Tianziqi about Zhang Shizhi.

During that conversation, Liu Sheng learned a lot of things.

For example, in the early years, Zhang Shizhi worked as a knife and pen officer for many years, but he never got through;

As an official, he did not make a name, but he overwhelmed Chang'an's expenses, and finally said the famous sentence of 'long-term eunuch reduction and middle production'.

- Being an official for so long has reduced my brother's assets a lot.

What does that mean?

This is going to talk about Zhang Shizhi, the first 'Lang Lang' in the history of the Western Han Dynasty to become famous.

At the beginning, Zhang Shizhi was actually a very wealthy son-in-law, with his brother's thousands of family wealth, not to mention how nourishing his life was.

As for how moisturizing it is?

——Nourished to the point that Zhang Shizhi's brother has spare money, and it is a million dollars of spare money, and he donated the highest standard rider among the Lang Lang to Zhang Shizhi!

What is this concept?

You must know that the concept of the 'middle-class home' of the Han family today is just a family fortune of 100,000 yuan!

The money spent by Zhang Shizhi's donation official is equivalent to spending all the property of ten middle-class families!

If you want to say that Zhang Shizhi's elder brother can take out a million spare money for his younger brother, no matter how you say it, he must be a huge rich man with a net worth of tens of millions.

But it is also such a huge wealth that Zhang Shizhi was not allowed to be promoted because he had been an official for ten years, and Zhang Shizhi's huge expenses in Chang'an greatly reduced his assets.

can make Zhang Shizhi say 'long-term eunuch reduction of middle property', even if half of his brother's tens of millions of family wealth is not spent, he will go to two or three out of ten;

And when Zhang Shizhi said this sentence 'long-term eunuch reduction of middle production', he was actually complaining to the people around him that Chang'an has a lot of expenses and no future as an official, and he doesn't want to continue to be an official and continue to 'reduce middle production'.

Fortunately, Zhang Shizhi's sentence of 'long-term eunuch reduction of middle production' reached the ears of Yuan An, who was proud of the spring breeze at that time and began to gradually be favored by the current Empress Dowager Dou and the then Empress Dou.

Knowing that Zhang Shizhi had not been promoted for ten years, he had already had the intention of resigning, and Yuan An, who has always been based on the principle of 'making friends with people all over the world', made a move unexpectedly.

Yuan Ang found the first emperor Liu Heng and said: There is a person beside Your Majesty, although he may not have any talent, but he has been a Lang official for ten years, such a person, Your Majesty may want to see it.

The first emperor was as good as a stream, and met with Zhang Shizhi, and as soon as they met, the skylight was opened: don't talk too much, say something close to real life and can be implemented immediately.

There was only one opportunity in his life, and Zhang Shizhi naturally did not want to miss it, so he expressed his in-depth views on the demise of Ying Qin and the prosperity of Liu Han.

After the end of the recital, the first emperor looked at Yuan Ang beside him: Zhonglang will think, what official position can this person be qualified for?

Yuan Ang thought for a while and said, "Confessor?

The first emperor finally smiled and appointed Zhang Shizhi as the head of the servant of the confessor.

Since he has been a servant of the confessor, when the first emperor travels, Zhang Shizhi naturally has to stand on the side of the front room of the imperial chariot;

Whenever you go to a place, you have to sing 'Your Majesty is coming~so-and-so welcome~' and so on.

Once, Zhang Shizhi followed the first emperor to Shanglin Yuan, and finally stopped outside the tiger circle.

It was rare to come to Shanglin Yuan once, and the first emperor naturally wanted to inspect the inspection work, so he found Shanglin Wei and asked more than a dozen questions about the tiger circle.

Shanglin Lieutenant is also the leader of Shanglin Yuan, in charge of a huge Shanglin Garden, which is a tenant farmer, a field acre, a water conservancy, and a Shaofu workshop, which is originally one head and two big;

As a result, the first emperor Hao was unfortunate and asked about the Laoshizi tiger circle, and the captain Lin didn't know anything, and the first emperor didn't answer more than a dozen questions.

On the contrary, it was the husband who specialized in taking care of the tiger circle who was extremely familiar with these professional knowledge, and perfectly answered more than a dozen questions from the first emperor.

As a result, the first emperor said: I asked, Captain Lin couldn't answer, but the husband who managed the tiger circle answered, doesn't it really mean that Captain Lin is not worthy, and the husband of the tiger circle wasted his talent?

Let's exchange these two people, Sifu will be the captain of the forest, and the captain of the forest will be the sifu!

Such a ridiculous command made everyone entourage stunned in place as if they were struck by lightning on the spot;

But it was the order of the Son of Heaven again, and no one dared to say anything.

Just when the first emperor was about to be angry with 'why no one received the order', Zhang Shizhi, the servant of the confessor, stood up.

Zhang Shizhi told the first emperor: Zhou Bo, Marquis of Jiang, and Zhang Xiangru, Marquis of Dongyang, are both recognized in the world and are elderly and virtuous, but these two people are not good at words, and only know how to do things in a down-to-earth manner.

When His Majesty came to Shanglin Yuan today, he didn't see the hard work of Captain Shanglin on weekdays, just because the husband could answer his own questions, he felt that the husband was more talented than the captain of Shanglin;

If the positions of these two people are really replaced, isn't it equivalent to telling the officials of the whole world: Your Majesty likes the sharp and nimble Xiaoxiao, but does not like the capable ministers who do their duty?

was persuaded by Zhang Shizhi like this, and the first emperor dispelled the absurd idea, and summoned Zhang Shizhi to ride with him on the way back to the palace.

Along the way, the first emperor and Zhang Shizhi chatted about the topic of 'why can't people with sharp teeth be reused';

Zhang Shizhi's answer quoted Ying Qin's heavy use of torture tools and punishments, and said that innocent people could be seen being detained, and directly described this as the culprit of the death of Qin II.

The first emperor asked Zhang Shizhi about the failure of Yingqin's governance, and Zhang Shizhi replied truthfully, and the first emperor Longyan Dayue asked Zhang Shizhi to make a bus order.

The grievances and hatreds between the former crown prince Qi and the acting king Liu Wu and Zhang Shizhi also started with Zhang Shizhi serving as the bus order.

- The bus order is in charge of the palace gate.

- You are a prince and a prince, and you don't get out of the car when you see Tian'er entering the palace gate, or you come to call the door after the curfew, and it's strange that Zhang Shizhi is not angry.

After one after another to demonstrate Zhang Shizhi's 'selflessness', the first emperor also paid more and more attention to Zhang Shizhi, from the bus order to the middle doctor, to the middle general, and finally the court lieutenant.

And after becoming a court lieutenant, Zhang Shizhi's peak moment can be regarded as the beginning of the chapter.

There was one thing that Liu Sheng was extremely impressed.

It is said that back then, the first emperor traveled by car, and when he passed by Zhongwei Bridge on the way, a person suddenly came out from under the bridge!

This man had no ill intentions, but just happened to come out from under the bridge when the Imperial Rim was passing by;

But Mark couldn't see whether people had malicious intent!

Seeing that on the flat road ahead, a figure suddenly came out of nowhere, and the horse pulling the royal chariot was instantly frightened, and immediately began to gallop wildly!

Fortunately, the first emperor was not thrown into Weishui, nor was he thrown under the carriage, but only barely stopped peacefully after experiencing a period of life and death.

When he got out of the car, the first emperor's legs were weak······

I'm afraid!

Crazy horses - eight frightened and crazy horses gallop at a gallop, and everyone has to be afraid!

But the fear of ordinary people and the fear of feudal emperors are still a little different after all.

Ordinary people's fear is just fear;

But the fear of the feudal emperor must be followed by anger and hatred!

Not surprisingly: the man who 'suddenly came out' and caused the frightened Imperial Horse was arrested by order of the Emperor Xian and sent directly to the court for questioning.

At that time, the court lieutenant was Zhang Shizhi, who had just been appointed, like a fish in water, and planned to show his skills.

After getting the papers, Zhang Shi opened the "Han Law" at a glance, and in strict accordance with the provisions of the law, he gave the final verdict: offending the car driver, a fine of four taels.

For this verdict, the first emperor naturally completely accepted it.

- Good guys~

- I scared half of my soul, and as a result, I was fined four taels?

How do you mean to rebel and 'sit to death', and then allow him to pay for his crimes?

Knowing the intentions of the first emperor, Zhang Shizhi still did not waver.

It was at that time that the clear words that made Zhang Shizhi famous in history finally came out······

"The law is sufficient······

"The original version of the spirit of the rule of law~"

"Tut-tut;"

"I don't know if this Zhao Yu can become my Zhang Shizhi?"

muttering to himself, Liu Sheng subconsciously turned his head sideways;

Seeing that Zhou Yafu was looking at him with a strange expression, Liu Sheng suddenly realized that he turned his body towards Zhou Yafu.

"Oh, where did you just go?"

"In the second year of the first emperor, my father asked the first emperor to appoint the crown prince Zhang Ou as the court lieutenant, and obtained the permission of the first emperor."

"And then?"

"And then what's wrong?"

Seeing that Liu Shengfang was obviously deserted, Zhou Yafu only took a deep breath depressedly;

But Liu Sheng had no choice but to shake his head helplessly.

"When the minister talked about this, he wanted to tell his family: As early as the time of the first emperor, His Majesty, who was still the crown prince, also started from Tingwei and weaved his wings."

"In addition to Tingwei, it is for the prince's family to make a mistake and find an errand to be in charge of the nine cities of Chang'an."

"It is precisely because of this that Your Majesty was able to immediately correct Zhang Ou from the court lieutenant to the court lieutenant after ascending the throne, and appointed Chao Cuo as the internal history."

"And that year, the year when the first emperor allowed His Majesty to appoint Zhang Ou as the court lieutenant and eunuch, was also the year when the first emperor fell ill······"

Hearing Zhou Yafu say this, Liu Sheng finally understood the deep meaning of Zhou Yafu's words, and the expression on his face couldn't help but sink subconsciously.

Zhou Yafu was right.

Starting with the transfer of power from Tingwei can indeed be regarded as the 'tradition' of the Han family—at least it is the 'precedent' that Ziqi has experienced today.

As Zhou Yafu said: according to the precedent of the crown prince, the Son of Heaven allowed the prince to intervene in the court, which seems to mean the official beginning of the transfer of power.

And this is exactly what Liu Sheng has been worried about recently······

"Alas······"

"I don't know what will happen in the next few years······"

"May all go well and the world be at peace;"

"Inside and outside the government, don't have any more twists and turns······"

This is not Liu Sheng's alarmism.

Let's just say that when Ziqi was seriously ill today, when the first emperor was seriously ill and bedridden, and his prince was in charge of the country, he provoked the anger of the first emperor several times!

Although in the end, the anger of the first emperor did not lead to the interruption of the transfer of power, it did indeed cause turmoil in the Chang'an court.

One of the most representative is that the first emperor had unbearable pain in his back sore, so he asked someone to see it;

As a result, the doctor was helpless, and Deng Tong, the emperor's favorite servant, didn't say a word, and went up to lie on the back of the first emperor and began to suck, sucking out most of the abscesses!

When the pain was relieved, the first emperor saw Deng Tong's overjoyed posture, and naturally his heart warmed;

had the idea of temptation again, so he called the then prince Qi to come, and asked the prince to follow Deng Tong's example and suck the pus on his back for himself.

As a result, the crown prince Qiqiang endured nausea and reluctantly lowered his mouth, and before he could suck it, he vomited on the back of the emperor······

"The first emperor was so gentle, benevolent and righteous, and he still made his father and emperor tremble and walk on thin ice;"

"My father's temperament is so gloomy, and I don't know ······ future"

"Alas······"

"In the next few years, I'm afraid I will have to bear it·········"
