Chapter 967 Death and guilt
Zhong Changtong also couldn't help chuckling. His recent plan with Xu Shu was mostly successful. He and Pang Tong were very close in the past. Of course, they are also good friends now. However, Pang Tong refused to join him as a servant. Zhongtai’s request, as for why, is because Zhong Changtong’s popularity in the temple is too poor, and he himself is not at the level of Sanling. If he is brought to the Shizhongtai, I am afraid that the officials will not discuss anything. The important thing is to quarrel and fight all day long.

Zhong Changtong failed to enter the service center, and then lost the opportunity to see the emperor. The emperor was busy with his own affairs all day long, and he didn't even want to pay attention to the important affairs of the temple. How could he pay attention to him, a mere temple servant? shoot?This made Zhong Changtong completely ignored in the temple. Zhong Changtong once went on a tour with Emperor Xiaode, and since that day, he has been thinking about how to improve his ideas.

Now finally there are some ways, but there is no way to see the emperor again. Zhong Changtong visited the emperor several times but failed. Therefore, he has been discussing with Xu Shu how to meet the emperor and how to meet the emperor. To convince the emperor, he intentionally angered Zhongshuling, because he knew that Zhongshuling would definitely talk to the emperor, and he was afraid that he would talk to the emperor, but this would arouse the interest of the emperor. Playful, for all novel things, are very fond of.

After several times of impeachment by Liu Yi, Liu Qu finally became interested in Zhong Changtong, so he invited him to meet him. Before Zhong Changtong came, he was fully prepared for today's event, so it was Not panicking at all, he chatted enthusiastically with the emperor. Liu Qu likes humorous people, which can be seen from his closeness to the old man Handan Chun. After chatting with Zhong Changtong for a long time, Liu Qu just remembered The purpose of calling him here.

"I don't think you are rude. I don't know why, uncle hates you so much?" Liu Qu asked the confusion in his heart, Zhong Changtong smiled, and said just now: "Actually, it's nothing. The main reason is that Liu Linggong has misunderstood me." Hearing Zhong Changtong's words, Liu Qu laughed, nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Uncle's temper is indeed not very good, and he is also It is understandable that he was born in a ram, so what exactly caused uncle to misunderstand?"

"Your Majesty, it's like this. I found that the court meeting gradually lost its effect. All the discussions were concentrated in the Shizhongtai, and the Shizhongtai became stronger and stronger. Liu Linggong lost his power, so I went to find Ling. My lord, I propose to hold a court meeting once a year. If something important happens, it can also be held. The power in Zhongshu Ling's hands has naturally increased greatly."

Zhong Changtong asked seriously: "Did Your Majesty not notice it?"

"Perceive what?"

"The strength of Shi Zhongtai. Today's ministers of Shi Zhongtai stay in Houde Hall and deal with state affairs. Now His Majesty can suppress them, but what about in the future? If the court can have the power to elect ministers of Zhongtai , Then, the ministers serving the Central Committee and Taiwan also have a restricted place, and they can no longer do whatever they want. If there is any misconduct, the ministers will be able to dismiss them directly, and this is the most important thing."

"Therefore, my proposal is not only beneficial to Liu Linggong, it is also of great benefit to the big man, and it is also the same for His Majesty." Zhong Changtong said excitedly. Liu Qu listened to his words, but did not express himself. How excited, he curled his lips and said: "I am most annoyed by court proceedings, it doesn't matter if they are banned, ministers of the temple, I can trust you all."

"Your Majesty, they are trustworthy, but what about the next generation, and the next generation? Your Majesty can't just think about the present." Zhong Changtong suddenly panicked. After thinking about it for so long, why does the emperor seem to have no interest? ?Ban the court meeting? ?What kind of operation is this? Liu Qu looked at Zhong Changtong and said displeasedly, "I'm always bothered by these things. I'm tired of hearing about it. Uncle said so, and so do you."

"Then why are you still arguing?"

"It's probably because Liu Linggong thinks that I'm going to harm His Majesty. He thinks that my behavior is taking away His Majesty's control over the servants. Think about it, Your Majesty. The court meeting is held by Zhong Shuling, and they will restrict it. , Your Majesty doesn't have to do anything in the future, just do what you like with peace of mind. Isn't this a good thing for Your Majesty? For Liu Linggong, Liu Linggong's power has greatly increased. For the officials, they would be happy too."

Zhong Changtong persuaded him for a long time, but Liu Qu became more and more impatient, and his tone gradually became colder. Zhong Changtong sighed helplessly, and was finally invited out by the eunuch. However, Liu Qu He also promised him that he would think about his proposal carefully, but Zhong Changtong understood that his plan had probably failed, and when he walked out of the palace dejectedly, he happened to meet Liu Yi.

Liu Yi came here in a hurry after learning that Zhong Changtong was coming to the palace. Now that he saw Zhong Changtong, he was furious and rushed over. The distraught Zhong Changtong didn't notice him. But Liu Yi grabbed his neck and lifted him up like a chicken cub. Zhong Changtong was pinched speechless by him, his face was red and his eyes were wide open, "You thief, I Ms. Liu may treat you badly? My heart will never die!!!"

Liu Yi cursed loudly, and his actions were naturally seen by the surrounding Huangmen and the guards. Immediately, everyone came to persuade him, and some guards wanted to pull him away. However, Liu Yi's physique was comparable to that of the Son of Heaven. It's not inferior, it's like a black scorpion, not to mention the yellow gate, even the guards can't pull it away, just when the situation is anxious, when Zhong Changtong is about to be strangled to death by Liu Yi, Liu Yi just let go, and put Zhong Changtong fell to the ground.

Liu Yi was extremely angry, and he said fiercely: "If you let me know that you are here to meet the emperor, I will definitely tear you apart!"

There was no fear on Zhong Changtong's face. He laughed wildly when he heard Liu Yi's words. He looked at Liu Yi in front of him contemptuously and said, "You are the one who wants to destroy the big man! From ancient times to the present, is there an immortal dynasty? Zhuge Linggong got rid of the external troubles of the great man, and I want to get rid of the internal troubles, so that the great man can truly last through the ages, otherwise he will fall into endless reincarnation Loop, you idiot, kill me now!"

Seeing that Liu Yi was about to rush up and fight with Zhong Changtong, Zhuge Liang had appeared behind him at some point, "Mr. Liu Ling, don't do anything." He said, listening to his words, Liu Yi just responded. Zhong Changtong started, Zhuge Liang looked at Zhong Changtong, and ordered: "This person is disrespectful to the temple, and he is disrespectful. I will hand it over to Man Gong of the Xingfu." Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, several guards stepped forward and grabbed him directly. After picking up Zhong Changtong, he took him out of here.

During this period, Zhong Changtong didn't say a word, just looked at Liu Yi coldly.

Seeing Zhong Changtong being taken away, Liu Yi was a little relieved. Seeing Zhong Changtong's appearance, he thought that his plan had not succeeded. Liu Yi thought so, looked at Zhuge Liang, and said: "This Dog thief, can you still compare yourself to Zhuge Linggong, he is also worthy? Hehe, I hope Manjun can treat his temper well this time!" Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said: "We can't punish him severely."

"Why?"

"Because the household government cannot do without him. If he is not around, all the statistical affairs he has carried out will be cut off."

"Then why did Duke Ling send him to the Xingfu?"

Zhuge Liang didn't answer, and walked to the palace, Liu Yi hurriedly followed, walking on the road, Zhuge Liang was still thinking about Zhong Changtong's words just now, Liu Yi just turned his back to him and didn't see him, but Zhong Changtong clearly He saw himself, and his words seemed to be deliberately said to himself. The cycle he mentioned was first proposed by Zhuge Liang. However, Zhuge Liang’s thoughts, all the difficulties came from Outside, so he thought of ending this cycle by conquering outside the Great Wall.

When the two entered the Tai Palace, Huang Men had already informed Liu Qu about Zhong Changtong.

Liu Qu seemed a little helpless. He didn't really want to hear about the conflicts among the ministers, especially from his uncle. Before Liu Yi could complain, Zhuge Liang accepted it: "Your Majesty, Zhong Changtong just arrived at the palace. But did you say reincarnation?"

"What? No!"

Liu Qu looked at Zhuge Liang blankly. Zhuge Liang just said what Zhong Changtong said just now. Liu Yi also nodded emphatically and added: "Zhuge Linggong is right. This guy just thinks that the big man will perish. Compared with Zhuge Linggong, he is cursing the big man, he is looking forward to the destruction of the big man, how can such a thief not die?" After finishing Zhong Changtong's words, Zhuge Liang added:

"I have always thought that this kind of cycle exists. However, I feel that the power of destruction still comes from outside, so I have been conquering outside the Great Wall. Today, Zhong Changtong's words make me a little confused." Zhuge Liang said seriously talking.

"From within." For some reason, Liu Qu's face changed immediately, he stood up instantly, looked at Zhuge Liang in front of him dully, muttered a few words to himself, and then calmed down, shaking his head, Said: "Zhong Changtong didn't have any major crimes. He just wanted to make the big man better. Don't bother with him. Let Manjun lock him up for a few days and then let him go."

Zhuge Liangliang nodded. Although he didn't know why the Son of Heaven reacted so strongly, he didn't ask too much, but Liu Yi was a little unconvinced. He said, "How could Your Majesty let him go so easily, he?"

"Uncle, I have already made a decision, so there is no need to say more."

Liu Qu spoke, but his tone was a little different. The irritable Liu Yi stared at him for a long time before saying "Thank you".
