I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 111 Let's see who dares to save!

Emperor, can you keep your word?

These few numbers, spoken by the Empress Dowager Dou at this moment, are like a bomb thrown into the water, causing Tianzi Qi, Liu Fei, and Liu Sheng to change their expressions.

What did Liu Qi say?
——From now on, Liu Qi will listen to everything Queen Mother Dou says!
Right now, Queen Dowager Dou asked what the phrase 'Speaking counts' really meant?
In other words, why did Tian Ziqi invite his mother, Queen Mother Dou, here today, to Shanglin Garden, which is nearly a hundred miles away from Chang'an?
When the answer came to his mind, Liu Sheng looked at Empress Dowager Dou with some suspicion.

And after a while, Tian Ziqi suppressed the trembling in his heart, and once again buckled his head at Empress Dou, the look of surprise on Liu Sheng's face finally reached its peak...

"The son and the queen dare not lie to the mother..."

With a deep voice, Queen Dowager Dou, who actually provoked the question, couldn't help but hesitate!
Full of loneliness and suspicion, he looked up and down Tianzi Qi, only to see that Tianzi Qi was kneeling in front of him with only a wry smile, and the face of Empress Dowager Dou suddenly became a little mixed.

Logically speaking, after the in-depth communication that day, the relationship between Empress Dowager Dou and Tianzi Qi would not have caused such troubles at all.

——On that day, Tian Ziqi confessed everything he could, and made it clear: Liang Wang Liu Wu must never be the emperor's younger brother!
And Empress Dowager Dou just gave an answer helplessly: Since this incident shouldn't have happened in the first place, then let everything return to normal;
Liang Wang, don't be the emperor's younger brother, and the emperor, don't cut down the vassal.

In this way, the emperor doesn't need the King of Liang to work his life for the country, and he doesn't need to use the "Emperor Taidi" to deceive the King of Liang...
But today, the reason why Liu Qi went to great lengths, and even borrowed Liu Sheng's hand to invite his mother, Queen Mother Dou, to Shanglin Garden was clearly to reach an agreement with Queen Mother Dou.

Reached a consensus that "Liu Wu should not be allowed to be the emperor's younger brother, but at the same time continue to implement the "Strategy for Reducing Fans".

And it is precisely this that makes Liu Sheng feel puzzled...
"Since the imperial grandmother agreed to come..."

"—It should be intentional, to ease the relationship with the father, right?"

"At the very least, it is necessary to achieve a result of 'suspending the matter of the emperor's younger brother for the time being, and focusing on reducing the feudal clan first'?"

Thinking of this, Liu Sheng looked at Empress Dowager Dou with an increasingly suspicious expression.

Before coming to Shanglin Garden, although Empress Dowager Dou said "Since the emperor forced Xiaojiu, I will go there", Liu Sheng knew very well: If he didn't want to come, then Liu Sheng was forced to death by Emperor Qi. Empress Dowager Dou would never have come to Shanglin Garden yesterday!
Go to heaven, that is, after Liu Sheng was forced to death by Tian Ziqi, he cursed Tian Ziqi angrily: The emperor killed my grandson!

And yesterday, since Empress Dowager Dou came, she had already implicitly expressed her intention of 'I don't want to quarrel with the emperor either';

It's just because of face, Empress Dowager Dou couldn't speak clearly, so she sneered in front of Tian Ziqi, so that Tian Ziqi could say something nice and find a way for herself.

Before, everything went well;

——Empress Dou with a straight face, accusing Liu Qi of 'bullying her biological mother', and 'confiding the funeral' to Liu Fei and Liu Sheng brothers;
Tianzi Qi was not annoyed at all, and he carried out his goal from the beginning to the end: no matter what, let Empress Dowager Dou calm down.

And in the sentence of Queen Mother Dou, "Emperor, can you count your words?" 'After that, the originally normal atmosphere suddenly changed...
"Grandmother, why do you ask the phrase 'Does speaking count?'?"

"Could it be that the emperor's grandmother is still unwilling to give up, and still wants to force the father to put down the imperial seal on the imperial edict to enshrine the king of Liang as the heir..."

"—Good~!"

While thinking about it, Empress Dowager Dou let out a deep sigh, causing the father and son to raise their heads quickly, and looked at Empress Dowager Dou in unison, with a gloomy face.

Even Liu Fei looked at his grandmother, Queen Mother Dou, with a little horror for a moment!
In front of Empress Dowager Dou, Tian Ziqi still had a wry smile on his face, but from an angle that no one noticed, Tian Ziqi's back molars were clenched tightly together at this moment...

"Mother..."

"It can be thousands of thousands..."

"Don't force the child..."

It was under the suspicious gazes of the father and son that Empress Dowager Dou finally straightened her figure;
Those unfocused eyes finally locked on the emperor Qi who was still kneeling in front of him.

Staring at Tianzi Qi in front of him, he watched for a full fifteen breaths, and when Liu Fei and Liu Sheng brothers couldn't sit still, he saw Empress Dowager Dou taking a deep breath, turned her head away again, and looked at The animal pen not far away.

"Since this is the case, the emperor will promise me one thing today."

The words of indifference caused the emperor Qi's heart to tremble, but on the face he hastily kowtowed again.

"Mother, the order is..."

"—Find me that rotten Confucian Yuangu;"

"—I have something to ask him."

huh~~~
As soon as Empress Dowager Dou finished speaking, there was a clear and audible exhalation sound from around the animal enclosure.

Almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Queen Dowager Dou's order...
Hearing the sound coming from her ears, Queen Mother Dou ignored it and just looked in the direction of the animal pen in a daze;
As for Liu Fei, who was kneeling beside Liu Sheng, taking advantage of no one's attention, he took a deep breath and exhaled it carefully, swallowing the heart that almost jumped out of his mouth. belly.

Liu Shengzi also heaved a long sigh of relief secretly, and only looked at Empress Dowager Dou with a little solemnity.

——Because Liu Sheng vaguely felt: During the period of silence, there was actually a moment when Queen Dowager Dou wanted to say the phrase "with King Liliang"...
If there is anyone who is the calmest at the moment, it is undoubtedly the Emperor Qi who has kept his expression unchanged and knelt in front of Empress Dowager Dou.

After hearing Empress Dowager Dou's order, Emperor Qi Zong was relieved, but there was still no abnormality on his face;
He only quickly kowtowed and responded to the Queen Mother Dou's order, then got up and turned around, and waved his head to Lang Guan in the distance.

After receiving Tianzi Qi's signal, Nalang Guan still had some doubts;
But after the emperor gave a low growl that was obviously mixed with anger, the Lang Guan no longer cared about his duty of "speaking faithfully, pointing out the gains and losses of the emperor", and ran towards the stables far away... ·

"Damn things!"

"—Do you dare to disobey the Queen Mother's order?!"

·
Shanglinyuan is said to be hundreds of miles away from Chang'an, but when converted to later generations, it is actually more than 40 kilometers away;

There was an official in the palace who rode his horse fast, coupled with a "speeding like lightning", less than two hours later, Yuan Gu, the doctor of "Poetry", came to the animal pen in Shanglin Garden.

In the past two hours, although Empress Dowager Dou still had a cold face that no one should enter, but with the lively atmosphere of Emperor Qi, her face was already indifferent;
But when Yuan Gu's figure appeared in front of him under the leadership of Lang Guan, Empress Dowager Dou's face, which had just warmed up a little, turned cold again in an instant.

——Because Empress Dowager Dou saw that Yuangu was actually wearing ordinary clothes at this time...
"This is strange..."

He murmured to himself, and saw Empress Dowager Dou turning her head leisurely, seemingly puzzled, but actually looked at Liu Qi who was ridiculed;

"How do I remember that the doctor of "Poetry" is Zhilu who is more than two thousand stones?"

"—Didn't the emperor give the two thousand stones in the court and distribute the court clothes that he needs to wear when meeting the queen mother and the emperor?"

Hearing the anger in Empress Dowager Dou's tone, Tianzi Qi couldn't help but his teeth sore, he hurried forward with a smile, sat down beside Empress Dowager Dou with a flattering smile.

"Quiet mother, calm down, calm down..."

"Perhaps this trip was too hasty, so Yuan Gu didn't have time to change into court clothes..."

With a humble tone to smooth things over, Tianzi Qi raised his head again, winking at Yuangu in front of him;

Although he didn't speak, his vivid gaze clearly yelled at Yuan Gu: "Hurry up and talk!"
But Yuan Gu didn't seem to notice the urging in Tianzi Qi's eyes, he just lowered his head, patted the dust on his body, and raised his head proudly.

"When the minister went out, he was not in a hurry."

"As for the court clothes, I didn't wear them on purpose."

As soon as these words came out, Tianzi Qi's face suddenly sank, and the gaze he looked at Yuangu also showed a hint of gnashing of teeth;
Even if Liu Qi was like this, the Empress Dowager Dou who was on the side immediately became angry when she heard the words!

But Dr. Yuan Gu was not afraid at all, raised his head calmly, cast a glance at Queen Mother Dou, then put his hands behind his back, and turned sideways contemptuously;
"If the Queen Mother is in Changle Palace, then I should go in court clothes;"

"Because what I met was the queen mother of my Han family."

"But the queen mother is not in Changle, but is playing and playing in Shanglin Garden, so she is no longer the queen mother;"

"I was called to come here, so I had no choice but to come here in ordinary clothes, and make a fool of myself in front of the Queen Mother..."

"--presumptuous!"

Before Yuan Gu's words fell, Liu Fei, who had been kneeling beside Liu Sheng all the time and acting as the background board, stood up against the table and let out a sharp shout!
"Hey, that old Confucian!"

"An dare to humiliate my aunt!!!"

A furious scold immediately attracted Liu Sheng's eyes full of approval, and then he also gritted his teeth and looked fiercely at the doctor Yuangu with his nostrils upturned;
As for the two brothers, Tian Ziqi comforted him for a while, but he still couldn't make the angry Empress Dou hold back the anger in her chest.

"Oh?"

"That's right..."

Seemingly indifferent, but obviously a bit sarcastic, it only made the Emperor Qi beside him look bitter;
Seeing Empress Dowager Dou stretching out her hand, groping for the dove stick beside her, she made a gesture to get up.

"Since this is the case, then I will go back to Chang'an..."

"From now on, the emperor will stop calling me, and come here to Shanglinyuan;"

"Let no one say anything, uh, the queen mother has no virtue, can't worship the ancestral temple and so on..."

Seeing the posture of Empress Dowager Dou, the emperor Qizong greeted the eighteen generations of Yuangu's ancestors in his heart, but he could only stand up with a flattering smile on his face, coaxing and coaxing Empress Dowager Dou back again seat.

Afterwards, Emperor Qi suppressed the anger in his chest and looked at Yuangu with a somber face.

"—The queen came to Linyuan later, and I personally invited her here!"

"If you think there is something wrong, then go home and write a memorial to accuse me of my mistakes!"

Seemingly furious, but in fact he calmed down the matter, and the scolding that implied a little warning finally made Yuan Gu feel guilty, groaned secretly, and turned his head away.

Seeing that the situation had calmed down, Tianzi Qi also turned sideways again, and hurriedly changed the subject: "Didn't the empress say that you have something to ask Yuan Gusheng?"

"Since Yuan Gusheng has come, let the queen mother ask;"

"It's getting late, after the questioning, the child will send the mother back to the palace, lest the mother suffer from the night's dark wind..."

Looking in front of her eyes, in front of the Empress Dowager Dou, the emperor mother and son, but still with her hands behind her back, wishing she could turn her nostrils to her own face, Empress Dowager Dou just felt angry!

But with Tianzi Qi at his side who kept comforting her, she was so angry that Empress Dowager Dou could only suppress her anger and cast her gloomy gaze on the old Confucian Yuangu who was not far in front of her.

"I heard that a few days ago, Yuan Gusheng and Huang Sheng seemed to have had a debate;"

"Everyone in the palace said that the debate was very exciting. The two sides were evenly divided. No one convinced the other?"

In a tone that was obviously mixed with anger, he said this barely calm sentence, and the Queen Mother Dou took another deep breath;

After suppressing the anger in his heart for a while, he raised his head again and looked at the old Confucian Yuangu meaningfully.

"Huang Sheng is an old man I found from the countryside. Although he has no defects in virtue, he is not very learned;"

"However, Yuan Gusheng has been a doctor of "Poetry" for many years, and his knowledge is among the best in the world."

"But even so, Yuan Gusheng still failed to defeat Huang Sheng, whom I found from the countryside, in the debate."

"—Does this mean that the theory of Huang Lao learned by Huang Sheng is better than the theory of Confucianism learned by Yuan Gusheng?"

Hearing Empress Dowager Dou's question, the first person to respond was Emperor Qi;
Seeing Tianzi Qi hummingly raised his head, looking at Yuan Gu's eyes, he wished he could take on the look of pleading!
——Quickly say something nice!
—I beg you, old thing!

But if this is the case, Rao had expected Yuan Gu's 'smelly mouth', and Tianzi Qi never expected that a person's mouth can smell so bad...
"—I won that debate!"

"It's just because Huang Sheng is someone close to the queen mother, and His Majesty is concerned about the face of the queen mother, so he didn't betray that Huang Sheng!"

But when Yuangu heard the words, he only raised his head proudly;
Looking at Empress Dowager Dou, there was even a little contempt in her eyes!
"Does the queen mother want to use her own power to force me to admit that the teachings of the patriarch Kong Zhongni are inferior to those of Huang Laozhi?"

"—In my opinion, the so-called Huang-Lao theory is nothing more than an inferior theory that picks up the wisdom of my Confucianism and can only deceive women and Taoists!"

"It's the misfortune of the world that the Queen Mother can be attracted by such a theory!"

As soon as these words came out, Tianzi Qi, who was sitting next to Empress Dowager Dou nervously, finally closed his eyes in despair...

As for the two brothers on the side, they got up from their seats in an instant!
In the end, it was the relatively calm Liu Sheng who glared fiercely at the old Confucian Yuangu, while holding his elder brother Liu Fei who was about to step forward.

And Empress Dowager Dou, finally at this moment, can no longer suppress the anger that has been accumulated for a long time...
"Humph!"

"Women's words?"

"——Compared to the special characters for prisoners and criminals, so what?!"

A roar that did not suppress the anger, but still failed to make Yuan Gu, who was chattering endlessly, give birth to even the slightest emotion called 'fear';

Seeing Empress Dowager Dou slapping the case suddenly, only Yuan Gu let out a cold snort of contempt.

"The reason why the Empress Dowager has the power she has today is only because of the glory of her husband, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen;"

"If it wasn't for the fact that the first emperor was the empress dowager's husband, and your majesty is the empress dowager's son, the empress dowager is no different from an ordinary farmer's wife."

"Now, because of her husband and son, the queen mother can become the mother of the world, so she should fulfill her responsibility as a queen mother."

"——When the emperor was young, help the emperor to stabilize his power. When the emperor is old, he should hide back in the palace and pray for the ancestral temple and the community day and night."

"Instead of visiting the mountains and rivers here, and even calling an old official like me from Chang'an to come here just to ask some insignificant questions!"

Following Yuan Gu's energetic cry, the animal enclosure fell into a long period of silence.

Even the wild boar in the animal pen seemed to be stunned by the strange atmosphere and Queen Dowager Dou's outrageous anger.

But Na Yuangu couldn't feel the monstrous anger that even the wild boars in the animal pen could feel...
"Come on!!!"

"Throw this old thing who has no king and no father, who doesn't even know the status of the upper and lower, into the beast pen!!!!!!"

The monstrous anger like a volcanic eruption only aroused the excitement of a hundred steps around the beast circle!
Even on the bare treetops, a few jackdaws flew away in shock!
And at the side of Empress Dowager Dou, the emperor Qi Zong could only secretly swallow his saliva if he didn't want to, and sat up tentatively...
"Mother..."

"--how?!"

"—The promise just made today, the emperor is about to break it!!!"

There was another thunderous roar, only to provoke the emperor Qi to shrink his neck suddenly, and then lowered his head in fear;

Seeing Tian Ziqi's reaction like this, and the foreshadowing of Tian Ziqi's "Don't you listen to the Queen Mother's words" before, the officials standing by looked at each other for a while, and walked forward without hesitation;

Cooperating with raising the old Confucian Yuangu high up, he took a last look at Tianzi Qi to make sure that Tianzi Qi had no instructions, so he threw it down.

Hearing the low sound of human flesh falling to the ground, Empress Dowager Dou didn't stay any longer, she flicked her sleeves suddenly, and walked towards the distance by herself.

The moment Empress Dowager Dou left, Tianzi Qi hurriedly got up, and before he yelled "Hurry up and save people", he heard another roar from Empress Dowager Dou behind him.

"—I see who dares to save!!!"

Hearing the roar from behind, Tian Ziqi's figure also froze in place.

After a while, the sound of Empress Dowager Dou's leaving footsteps no longer came from behind, and Emperor Qicai turned around with lingering fear.

Seeing his mother, Empress Dou, being supported by her two sons and drifting away, finally getting into her own carriage, the emperor Qicai finally breathed a sigh of relief;

Yuan Gu's miserable cry came from behind, but it only provoked a lingering disgust in Liu Qi's heart...
He untied the saber from his waist and dropped the animal pen without turning his head. The emperor Qi also lowered his face and walked towards the imperial chariot not far away.

"—Let him fight by himself!"

"—If you can't beat it, pull it up!"

"—If you can't fight, you should feed the pig!!!"
