Empress Dowager Dou originally thought: 'There is no longer King Liang serving around the Queen Mother' in the mouth of Liu Wu, King of Liang, what he said was that in the future, Liu Wu, King of Liang, would not come to Chang'an again;

But everything that happened after that greatly exceeded Empress Dowager Dou's expectations.

- As with every previous visit to Chang'an, when the one-month 'Hajj period' expired and public opinion began to appear inside and outside the government and the opposition to 'invite the king of Liang to return to China', Liu Wu, the king of Liang, once again applied to Tianziqi, wanting to stay in Chang'an for a longer period of time.

But what is different from every previous time is that this time, Tianziqi rejected Liu Wu's application very firmly.

Everything seems to have changed.

In the past, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, asked to stay in Chang'an for a longer period of time, and most of them were sprinkled and rolled around and did everything;

This time, he didn't ask his mother Empress Dowager Dou to beg, nor did he ask his sister Liu Concubine for help, but only found Tianziqi with sorrow.

In the past, in the face of the application of Liu Wu, the king of Liang, to 'ask to stay for a longer period of time', Tianziqi often gritted his teeth with hatred, but in the end he had to reluctantly agree;

But this time, after firmly refusing, Tianzi Qi appeared in Beique with embarrassment, and watched the car of Liu Wu, the king of Liang, drive out of the east gate of Chang'an City.

For a moment, Tianzi Qi was finally no longer just Tianzi Qi, but had the identity and sense of responsibility of an additional 'brother'.

But it's only for a moment······

After returning to Suiyang, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, still followed the rhythm of life in the past few years, hunting in Liangyuan every day, feasting guests in the palace every night, and never forgetting to sing songs every night.

After doing this for three or five months, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, who was hollowed out at the speed of wine, finally fell ill in the summer of the eighth year of the Son of Heaven.

At the same time that the news reached Chang'an, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, who was far away in Suiyang, the capital of Liang, also came to the end of his life without warning.

- Liu Wu, King of Liang,.

Regarding the cause of Liu Wu's death, everyone in the world is silent, and it can even be said that it is secretive.

After getting the exact news, Empress Dowager Dou only felt that the sky had fallen, so she called Tianzi Qi with anger and roared again: The emperor killed my son!

In the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace, Tianziqi did not feel sad as usual because of the suspicion of his mother, Empress Dowager Dou.

In the autumn of the eighth year of the Son of Heaven's reign, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, said: filial piety;

In the later autumn, the Empress Dowager Dou of the East Palace issued a decree: Liang Xiao Wang Wu, the general of the building will tilt, turn the tide in the past, and have the merit of rebuilding in the Han family!

Lingzhi gave a golden jade clothes, a yellow intestine inscription, a number of dark lamps, dark vessels, Jane, cloth, figurines, and countless gold;

He was buried in the Son of Heaven.

In the winter and October of the ninth year of the new century, the third reading of the Great Chaoyi passed: Tui En Liang Guo.

With the crown prince of Liang, Liu Mai, that is, the throne of Liang;

The second son, Liu Ming, was the king of Jichuan;

The third son, Liu Pengli, was the king of Jidong;

The fourth son, Liu Ding, was the king of Shanyang;

The fifth son, Liu, is not known as the king of Jiyin.

The five women all eat soup and Muyi;

Therefore, Queen Li of Liang is the Queen Mother of Liang.

In this way, the first major contributor to the suppression of the Wu Chu Rebellion: Liang Guo, also became the first piece of meat under Jia Yitui's encouragement.

This also showed the determination of the Chang'an court to push the Kwantung princes unreservedly in front of the people of the world.

- Even the siblings of Tianzi Qi, Liang Guo, who has made great contributions to the temple and the society, still can't avoid being 'pushed';

The other clan princes, if they want to rebel against the Chang'an court, I'm afraid they will have to weigh it.

weighed the relationship between himself and Tianzi Qi, whether there was a deceased brother: Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao, was intimate;

His own contribution to Zongmiao and Sheji, is there the first hero of the Wu Chu Rebellion to quell: Liu Wuda, the king of Liangxiao.

At this point, the death of Liu Wuxu, the king of Liang, came to an end, and the Empress Dowager Dou of the East Palace became more and more silent.

Almost all the obstacles were swept away by the Son of Heaven, and even the Empress Dowager Dou was willing to lock herself in Changle Palace because of the death of Liu Wu, the king of Liang.

Liu Sheng originally thought that this series of changes would save him a lot of trouble in his career as the prince of the country.

But as time passed, Liu Sheng's heart became more and more filled with a thought that was difficult for the world to understand······

·

"The emperor is also made by men?"

Too uterine nail view.

Sitting upright on the main seat, looking at the mountains of folds and bamboo slips in front of him, Liu Sheng only habitually frowned;

After a long while, I remembered my mother Queen Jia's request not to always frown, and reached out to smooth out the frowning brow.

Just as far as the eye could see, there were all bamboo slips that could not be seen at a glance, which only made Liu Sheng upset for a while, so he simply stood up and strode towards the outside of the hall.

"Whew~"

"This is just a prince of the prison country, and he has tired people like this;"

"If you really want to be the emperor, then you have to pay it back?"

"-What is there to grab from this?"

"Don't put your head on the belt of your pants, and fight to die to kill the clan, just to find guilt?"

"There is a problem with the braincase······

Listening to Liu Sheng's chatter and complaints, Xia Que on the side only laughed for a while, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud.

During this time, everything Liu Sheng experienced, Xia Que may have seen better than Liu Sheng himself.

Since the middle of last year, when the Son of Heaven issued an edict without warning, saying that he was 'old and frail, unable to come to the court, but ordered the prince to supervise the country', Liu Sheng has hardly slept even a solid night.

Speaking of Liu Sheng, the prince of the prison country, what he did was also very interesting.

In the past, all the twists and turns that should have been personally checked and approved by Tianzi Qi will now be sent to the imperial palace without exception, and will be disposed of by Liu Sheng, the prince of the prison state;

But the 'disposal' here is very different from the past Son of Heaven.

- Liu Sheng, he has no right to decide at all.

Let's take a very specific example.

There is a letter that says that a county in Guanzhong wants to apply for clearing the channel, and needs the court to approve the local requisition and distribution of labor, and allocate a certain amount of money;

When the fold was sent to Liu Sheng, Liu Sheng first had to find out: whether this channel exists;

Is there really a need to clean up;

whether the clean-up really requires forced labor;

the local financial situation and whether there is a real need for central funding;

and: the financial situation of the Central Treasury to support the appropriation of funds for this project;

Whether the importance and urgency of this project is greater than the financial pressure on the central treasury of the court.

To figure out these things, Liu Sheng needed to take a blank roll of bamboo slips and write such a report.

- Erchen has checked, there is really such a canal in this place, and the witnesses are so-and-so and so-and-so (one courtier above a thousand stones, one local county office, and three county orders in the surrounding areas);

This canal does have to be cleaned, and the witness is XX (the history of collecting wind) (with a report on wind collection);

To clean up this canal, the number of people who need to be requisitioned and forced is the unanimous opinion of the Shaofu/Xiangfu and me;

The local financial situation is indeed difficult enough to require appropriations from the court, as evidenced by the tax book presented by the place (with an original handcopy) of the previous plan;

The financial situation of the central government this year is as follows: how much spare money there is in the treasury of the prime minister's government (the prime minister's seal), how much money, grain and materials can be called in the Shaofu (the Shaofu uses the seal);

The urgency of this project and the financial pressure of the court treasury are more serious, and the sons and daughters discussed with a certain and such (at least one person in Jiuqing, and at least one person in the counterpart official office of a thousand stones), and finally came to the conclusion that the treasury can bear the expenditure of this project.

In the end, Liu Sheng had to follow up: This is the case, what should I do about this matter, please ask my father to decide.

After such a report is written, the report is sandwiched in the middle of the original fold and rolled up, which can be regarded as Liu Sheng's 'finishing' a fold;

As for how to approve it in the end, it is none of Liu Sheng's business - the decision is still completely in the hands of Tianzi Qi.

Understanding such a set of processes, it is not difficult to understand what kind of existence Liu Sheng, the prince of the prison country, is.

- For government affairs, Liu Sheng does not have the right to directly dispose of it, but only has the right to make suggestions to the Son of Heaven;

To put it bluntly, it is the government affairs that he has in hand, Liu Sheng can't make a decision, so he can only come up with what he thinks is the best solution for Tianziqi according to the situation, and then Tianziqi decides whether to adopt Liu Sheng's suggestion.

Adopted, the Son of Heaven Qihui said during the court meeting: The prince's method is good, this matter, just do what the prince said.

If you don't adopt it, you will privately send someone to tell Liu Sheng: Where is wrong and inappropriate in your plan, you should consider more factors;

When I was done, I had to tell Liu Sheng: I finally decided to do this, you should think about what I did and make a report and send it to me······

"Annoying~~~~Na~~~~~~~"

"Isn't that what a secretary does?"

"There are tens of millions of people in the world, but I am a secretary???

will think of what happened to him in the past, Liu Shengzi complained again, and he couldn't wait to pick a son on the spot.

Not far away, Zhou Yafu, who heard Liu Sheng's habitual complaints, and was busy testing the results of Cheng Buzhi and Zhidu, couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh.

"The family is complaining again?"

"A few days ago, the court discussed, didn't you just say in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty that Your Majesty is honing your family?"

"Why didn't you start scolding the street again after a few days???"

Feeling Zhou Yafu's ridicule, Liu Sheng only felt angry for a while;

But there was no angle to refute, so he simply glanced at Zhou Yafu with compassion, and stepped forward angrily.

Annoyed to annoyed, when he saw Cheng Buzhi and Zhi Du kneeling next to each other, the brush in their hands hanging in the air, and bowing their heads in contemplation in front of them, Liu Sheng still did not forget to take a light step, and the chatter on his lips also stopped abruptly.

"Take the test again?"

"Can it be useful to test these every day?"

lowered his voice and let out a soft inquiry, and Liu Sheng turned sideways with a slight doubt;

saw Zhou Yafu shaking his head with a smile, and turned his body again, and made a 'please' gesture towards the outside of the pavilion where Cheng Buzhi and Zhidu were.

After Liu Sheng was invited to walk out of the pavilion, came to a stone table ten steps away from the pavilion, and sat down on the stone bench, Zhou Yafu smiled at Liu Sheng.

】

"Whether it is useful to take the school examination or not, it should be clear at home."

"——I said that in the past year or so, the family said that the prince was in charge of the country, but in fact, it was just to treat every piece of music presented in front of His Majesty as his own examination question."

"At the beginning, almost all the examination papers at home were thrown out of the Xuan room by His Majesty in anger;"

"Later, there were fewer and fewer people who were thrown out of the hall by His Majesty, and even if they were dissatisfied, His Majesty mostly taught them patiently."

"······ to this day"

·

"Huh? Summer Sparrow; ”

"Have you ever asked the eunuch to inquire, how many days has Your Majesty not presented the music from the house still out of the palace?"

Halfway through his words, Zhou Yafu only frowned slightly, and looked at the CRRC Ling Xia Que beside Liu Sheng;

I saw Xia Que hurriedly bowing down: "It's the twenty-seventh day······"

As he spoke, Xia Que didn't forget to look sideways for a moment, and carefully looked at the changes in Liu Sheng's expression.

On the opposite side of Liu Sheng, hearing the number 'twenty-seven', Zhou Yafu only nodded slowly, and let out a long sigh leisurely.

"Back then, the first emperor was seriously ill and bedridden, and His Majesty also supervised the country as the crown prince."

"——Your Majesty's crown prince was in charge of the country back then, and it is no different from today's family: the review is sparse, but it is not approved, and only the handling opinions are given, and it is handed over to the first emperor for decision."

"And when His Majesty was in charge of the crown prince, the first emperor did not get angry, and the longest interval between the two years when he fell off the imperial rank was ·······"

"Chen remember, when it was more than ten days, right?"

As he spoke, he saw Zhou Yafu move his gaze to the pavilion not far away, and looked at Cheng Buzhi and Zhidu, who were bowing their heads in front of them, with a smile and a short sigh.

"Everyone in the world says that in the first battle of Qin and Zhao Changping, Ma Fujun Zhao Kuo talked about the army on paper, burying the last elite of Zhao State, and even the national fortune."

"But as long as it is a martial artist, a general who is proficient in the affairs of the battle formation, he will not say that it is a horse suit, which led to the result of the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping."

·

"In Yichen's opinion, Ma Fuzi may not be a person with outstanding talents like Lian Po, but at least he is a person who is familiar with military books and knows the affairs of the battle array."

"Especially after the Zhao army ran out of food, Ma Fuzi single-handedly made the hundreds of thousands of hungry and cold troops support them for another forty-seven days."

"Just this ability to stabilize the morale of the army and command the army, the minister is also ashamed of himself······"

Speaking of which, Zhou Yafu stopped talking at the right time and left enough space for Liu Sheng to reverie.

And the deep meaning of Zhou Yafu's words, Liu Sheng, will not be unable to hear it.

"Hi ······"

"Don't worry."

"Of course, I understand my father's good intentions and earnest teachings, and I also remember them."

"It's just that my heart is really unhappy······

"-Hahahahaha!"

As soon as he heard Liu Sheng say that he was 'unhappy', Zhou Yafu seemed to feel very happy;

There was a burst of ridicule, which provoked Liu Sheng's face to gradually turn black, and Zhou Yafu couldn't stop laughing.

It was only at this time that the topic of the monarch and minister, teachers and students was on the right track.

"How?"

"According to the opinion of the Marquis, among these two, can there be anyone who can carry the mantle of the Marquis?"

As he spoke, Liu Sheng did not forget to gently raise the corner of his eyebrows towards the gazebo not far away;

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yafu's face suddenly sank, and his gaze at Liu Sheng was also unprecedentedly severe.

"The minister is bold and outspoken."

"-Cheng doesn't know, he can only be a general, not a handsome."

"And it can only be the rear army, not the left and right side army, and never the vanguard!"

···

"And Zhidu, the talent is still good, how can I have been sparse for a long time, and I have been in the court for many years."

"-is handsome, but his talent is insufficient;"

"——As a general, it can be a vanguard, or it can be stationed in the Chinese army."

···

"These two people are already the most likely to show 'handsome talent' among the people in my Han family and the ministers can think of;"

"But in the past year or so, the upper limit of these two people has been seen in front of the minister."

"With these two people in charge of an army, if there are no more than 50,000 people, they should be able to achieve relatively good results in a local war."

"Cheng Buzhi can guarantee that the army will not suffer a major defeat, and Zhidu can guarantee that the army will gain something—more or less, there will always be a gain;"

"But when it comes to the decisive battle between Han and Hungary, it must be hundreds of thousands against hundreds of thousands, and it is a huge army with both infantry and cavalry."

"Judging from the current situation, Zhi Du and Cheng don't know each other, I'm afraid they don't have the ability to command such a large army, and they probably won't have it in the future."

···

"Minister, let's just say it."

"The coach of the decisive battle between Han and Hungary, at home, may have to find another candidate······"
