"What does the Emperor think?"

"From the reaction of all the courtiers today, what did the emperor see?"

Sitting on the imperial chariot that returned to Changle Palace, he asked Liu Sheng who was sitting in front of him, and without waiting for Liu Sheng to answer, Empress Dowager Dou groped and stretched out her hand and took the hand of Empress Dowager Jia beside her.

"What the emperor said to me, the queen mother remembered and learned something;"

"I'm old too······"

"My husband and son are gone, maybe one day, as soon as I close my eyes, this Han family will be pressed on the shoulders of the Queen Mother."

"Emperor Xiaojing of Daxing once instructed me to take the Queen Mother with me and teach me more."

"Right now, it's the time for the Queen Mother to learn······"

Empress Dowager Dou said softly, and Empress Dowager Jia nodded her head again and again, hurriedly cheered up and concentrated on the eyes.

Empress Dowager Jia knows very well: the conversation between Empress Dowager Dou and Liu Sheng may not be able to understand it all;

But for a similar situation, Liu Sheng had already given an excellent suggestion to Empress Dowager Jia.

- Whether you understand it or not, write it down and keep it in your heart.

When I'm idle in private, no matter how much I think about it, I can always figure out something.

Empress Dowager Dou asked a question, Empress Dowager Jia also put on a posture of 'listening carefully', and Liu Shengzi had already organized the language.

I went through it again in my heart, and made sure that there was nothing wrong with it, so I gave an answer to Empress Dowager Dou's question.

"The minister's reaction was generally not unexpected by his grandson."

"——Neishi, as the head of Jiuqing, is in charge of almost everything in Guanzhong, under the jurisdiction of lieutenants, thieves, as well as the entire Guanzhong's acres, household registration, taxation and other matters."

"This makes the person who serves as the internal history must be a practical person."

"Among the jurisdictions of the internal history, the most important is Chang'an City."

"There are many rumors in the market: if you throw three pieces from Beique and turn your head, you will definitely be able to hit a Chehou, a 2,000 stone, and a noble nephew."

"At the foot of the imperial city, the princes, nobles, ministers and nobles are everywhere, which makes the internal history must be a very principled person, and he must be convinced and respected by the government and the opposition."

"Uncle Tian Tian Ziqing, obviously a qualified internal history."

"Since it is a qualified internal history, it is impossible to agree with Sun Er's reckless behavior and build a temple for Emperor Daxing······"

As soon as Liu Sheng's words fell, the Empress Dowager Dou slowly nodded expressionlessly;

After a moment, he sighed softly and raised his head slightly.

"Yes, it's not."

"——As an internal history, of course, Uncle Tian should abide by the principles and prevent everything that does not conform to common sense, common sense, and violates the law of the country."

"But precisely because Tian Ziqing wants to manage Chang'an, and even the entire Guanzhong, he must be loyal to the Son of Heaven."

"Otherwise, a person who only knows how to abide by principles, but does not know the internal history of allegiance to the Son of Heaven, is likely to become a hidden danger for the temple and the society."

···

"Today, Tian Ziqing should have said nothing like Zongzheng, that is, he did not oppose or support it."

"Because the duty of Neishi requires him to abide by his principles, and it also requires him to be loyal to the emperor."

"-But Tian Ziqing, in the end, only chose to abide by the principles, and ignored or forgot to be loyal to the monarch."

"This may be because the emperor is young, Tian Ziqing subconsciously made such a decision."

"But as the Son of Heaven, the emperor can't be too tolerant—especially not too tolerant of internal history."

"Find an opportunity to knock Uncle Tian."

"You don't necessarily need to be punished very heavily, but you must let the government and the opposition know that Tian Ziqing's approach makes the emperor very dissatisfied;"

"If there is a next time, Tian Ziqing's position in the internal history will definitely be replaced······"

Empress Dowager Dou's words fell, and Liu Sheng, who knelt in front of Empress Dowager Dou, bowed respectfully: "Grandson, follow the teachings of the emperor's grandmother······"

After a while, Empress Dowager Dou nodded slightly, and Liu Sheng pondered for a moment before continuing to say: "After the internal history, it is Shaofu. ”

"-Shaofu's reaction can be regarded as the most certain of Sun Er earlier."

"Because Shaofu's father was originally from the Xiang clan, it was Emperor Taizu Gao, regardless of his previous suspicions, he gave the surname Liu and the Marquis of Tao;"

"Later, Emperor Xiaohui, Empress Dowager Lu, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, and Emperor Daxing Xiaojing all loved Taohou and his son."

"So no matter what, Taohou will unconditionally obey the will of my Liu Son, and will not care about the opinions of the government and the opposition."

"Because of my Liu family, I am kind to Taohou;"

"And inside and outside the government and the opposition, most of them despise Liu Xiang, the Marquis of Tao'an, who turned his back on his clan and threw himself into the account of Emperor Taizu Gao······"

This time, Empress Dowager Dou's expression warmed up a little, but she still maintained her previous dignified and solemn look.

"Taohou is indeed the follower of my Liu Clan's Heavenly Son who doesn't need to worry the most."

"But back then, when Empress Dowager Lu died and Emperor Taizong Xiaowen entered the dynasty to inherit the unification on his behalf, Liu Xiang, Marquis of Tao'an, once said such a sentence;"

"——Swear to be loyal to the Son of Heaven, who is the Son of Heaven is loyal to whom······"

"That's what I said, that's what Tao'anhou did: before Emperor Taizong entered the court, Tao'anhou was still running for the puppet emperor Liu Hong, but after Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he became the first meritorious marquis loyal to Emperor Taizong."

"So for Taohou, the emperor has to keep an eye on it."

"Only the emperor sits firmly on the throne, and the Marquis of Tao is the person the emperor can trust;"

"But if the emperor can't sit on the throne, then Taohou Liu She will inevitably be the first person to turn his back on the emperor after the emperor falls off the throne."

"In other words: the Taohou family is not a loyal minister of the emperor, but a loyal minister of the son of heaven of the Liu family."

"No matter who becomes the Son of Heaven, Taohou, he will be loyal to him······"

As soon as Empress Dowager Dou said this, Liu Sheng fell into a little thought.

Today's incident is naturally a trick that Liu Sheng played earlier, after passing through the anger with Empress Dowager Dou and Empress Dowager Jia, to 'distinguish between friend and foe'.

It is similar to a hundred years ago, when Zhao Gao, a subordinate of Qin Zhongche, referred to the deer as a horse in Xianyang Palace, and distinguished the supporters and opponents by 'talking about the horse as a friend and saying the deer as an enemy'.

It's just that compared with Zhao Gao's reference to the deer as a horse, Liu Sheng's 'building a temple for Emperor Daxing' is slightly more advanced and more obscure.

And when he made up his mind to find out the foundation of the court by fighting for the temple number for the first emperor, and by the way, to deter the government and the opposition, Liu Sheng had already decided: let Liu She be his trust.

- It is precisely for this reason that Liu Sheng will be the first to call out Liu She to answer.

Because Liu Sheng was completely sure, he was sure that Liu She would kneel and lick himself unconditionally.

But at this moment, when Empress Dowager Dou reminded Liu Sheng 'don't be too relieved about Liu She', Liu Sheng reacted in hindsight: before himself, it seemed that he had indeed taken it for granted;

Liu Sheng took it for granted that Liu She was loyal to the Son of Heaven, and I was the Son of Heaven, so Liu She was loyal to me.

It wasn't until Empress Dowager Dou reminded him that Liu Sheng reacted: Although Liu Sheng is now the Son of Heaven, whether he can die on the throne is really not a sure thing.

In case there is a case, then Liu She, who is now unconditionally kneeling and licking himself, will definitely become the first anti-bone boy.

Just like the words of Liu Xiang, the father of the first Taohou and Liu She, Tao'an Hou: Swear to be loyal to the Holy Son of Heaven, who is the Son of Heaven loyal to whom······

】

"Grandson, remember ······"

This time, Liu Sheng's face couldn't help but be a little solemn.

On the contrary, it was the Empress Dowager Dou, who heard the seriousness of Liu Sheng's words, and her expression became warmer.

"I'm not worried about the emperor, I won't understand this truth."

"It's just that I'm afraid that the emperor will be too busy and forget about it, so I reminded him."

"If the emperor can remember it and remember it in his heart, then nothing can go wrong······"

Liu Sheng nodded again.

After a while, he continued: "Sun Er originally thought that Liu She was the one who didn't have to worry about the most. ”

"Now I think: Zhonglang General Zhou Ren, it seems that he doesn't need his grandson to worry about the most?"

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Dou heard this, her face suddenly felt a little more relieved: "Hmm~"

"Zhou Ren is honest and responsible, he knows what to say and do, and he also knows whose family's money he eats and whose family's favor he receives."

"--I'm older, and I don't have the ability to govern the country and the people;"

"What's more, Lang Zhongling must be the emperor's closest and most trusted humerus confidant, Zhou Ren became the first emperor's Lang Zhongling, so naturally he can't be the emperor's Lang Zhongling."

"When the situation is stable, Liu She will also retire from the position of prime minister, so let's move a position for Zhou Ren."

"Captains, lieutenants, and the like, shouldn't anything go wrong?"

The last sentence, Empress Dowager Dou said in an inquiring tone, as if she was testing Liu Sheng's meaning;

As for Liu Sheng's reaction, it was naturally a sentence: If the imperial grandmother thinks it will work, then it will definitely work······

"No doubt, it's a gentleman."

"It's just that I cherish my feathers too much, I cherish my body and my name too much;"

"-That is, the particularity of the Wei Lieutenant, so that Zhi Budo can be ranked in the ninth qing."

"If I change to another position, I don't doubt that people who don't dare to take responsibility and care too much about their reputation will probably not be able to sit still······"

Speaking of straightforwardness, Empress Dowager Dou only let out a long sigh and sigh;

After thinking about it for a long time, he sighed again, and then shook his head to himself.

"There is no doubt that he is a gentleman, not a courtier."

"—You can trust, but you can't count on it;"

"—don't worry about what he will do unfaithfully, but you can't expect him to do anything."

"Hmmm······"

···

"Zhi Du and Cheng don't know each other, aren't they listening to classes under Zhou Yafu?"

"In the future, the qualifications of these two people are not enough to become the commander for the time being."

"——At that time, the emperor can make Zhiundo handsome, and use Zhiundoubt's qualifications to settle the heart of the court;"

"Then I will explain it in private: during the march, the opinions of Zhidu and Cheng are the main ones."

"Except for similar situations, there is no doubt that there is no other useful place······

Regarding Empress Dowager Dou's evaluation of Zhiundoubt, Liu Sheng thought so.

For Zhiundoubted, Liu Sheng's evaluation is: Although Xiaoli does not forget his life, he will spare himself when he does big things.

To put it bluntly, this person has no fart skills, and he relies on the good reputation of 'humble gentleman' to be an official, and he has achieved the position of Jiuqing all the way.

You let him do something, right?

I don't have that ability;

Let him take on what responsibility, right?

I don't have that courage;

If there is any place where you can give full play to your 'specialty', that is, the special position of Wei Wei, who 'must not be ambitious, and preferably has no ability', and what Empress Dowager Dou just said: to build a stage for young talents like Zhidu and Cheng Buzhi with the qualifications of Zhidu.

And such a person, at least for the current Liu Sheng, is still quite useful.

- The Lord Shaoguo is suspicious;

With more people who 'don't have fart skills and still care about reputation', Liu Sheng will always have plenty of time to transition and get through the fragile period in the early days of sitting on the throne.

When the power is in hand in the future, and those who can suppress the ability can be replaced, they will be replaced.

"Except for Uncle Tian, Liu She, Zhou Ren, and Zhi Budo, there is nothing else to say."

"——The pawn and grandson are mixed with evil, and the situation is similar to that of Shaofu Liu She: he was originally a Hu person, and he became a courtier of my Han family by the grace of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen."

"The position of the pawn, Gongsun is mixed with evil, and he must want to move the nest."

"This matter is not in a hurry, and there is no need to rush."

···

"Zongzheng Liu Piqiang is the second son of Honghou Liu Fu and the grandson of King Chu Yuan, and he has both virtue and virtue."

"As Zongzheng, it is the wisest and most appropriate thing to do to remain silent today."

"In addition, Zongzheng is in the middle of the court, and he doesn't have much authority in itself, so Liu Biqiang and Sun Er feel that they can continue to be Zongzheng."

"After all, Liu Biqiang is already the most suitable candidate for Zongzheng······"

···

"Tingwei Zhao Yu, originally had insufficient qualifications to become Jiuqing, but it was his father who picked him up as Tingwei to be among the Jiuqing."

"In addition, he was born in the Fa family, and like Zhidu, he claims to be a lonely minister, and he is obedient to his grandson, which is also expected."

"And Zhao Yu can be regarded as a young talent left by his father to his grandson."

"This court lieutenant, my grandson is still quite satisfied······"

After evaluating the four most important people, Liu Sheng only roughly evaluated the next three;

It was not Liu Sheng's expectation: For these three people, Empress Dowager Dou only nodded with interest, and made a perfunctory evaluation of a few words, and then saw that the topic was omitted.

And the last two people left Liu Sheng to make it difficult······

"There are two people left, the emperor doesn't say it, I also understand it in my heart."

"——Nanpihou, as the most outstanding son of the Dou family's relatives at the moment, should have supported the emperor, but today he is standing opposite the emperor."

"But this is mainly because of the official position of Fengchang, so that Nanpihou must be a person who abides by etiquette and system - abides by 'rules'."

"When I get back, I'll summon Nanpihou alone."

"Emperor, don't think too much."

"As for the servant······"

Meaningfully, Empress Dowager Dou shook her head in the direction of the front room outside the imperial chariot with a meaningful smile;

When Liu Sheng came to his senses, he smiled and bowed, and Empress Dowager Dou naturally nodded with a smile.

"Today, the emperor did a good job."

"I have already won the three-point demeanor of the Great Xing Emperor."

"It's just that you can only do it once;"

"If you do too much, it will make the government and the opposition complain, loyal ministers dare not speak out, and the emperor is surrounded by small flatterers."

"—Grandchild understands ······"

"Hmm~"

"It's good to understand······"
