I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 314 Huang Lao Mingshi~
According to the original historical timeline, Zhidu at this point in time is actually dead.

Because in the original historical timeline, none of the nine princes or crown princes came forward to protect the Linjiang king Liu Rong who "privately damaged the walls of the high temple";
As for the resentment of the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong's death in the Lieutenant's Mansion, the Empress Dowager Dou of the Eastern Palace blamed it all on the 'culprit' - Lieutenant Zhidu.

Can my son of the Liu family still die at the hands of outsiders? !

——Because of this understatement, Zhidu, a generation of cruel officials who went down in history, died under the wrath of the Queen Mother Dou of the Eastern Palace.

But in the current timeline, many things have undergone earth-shaking changes because of Liu Sheng, the butterfly flapping its wings.

Liu Rong is not dead;

Not only did he not die in the Lieutenant's Mansion in Chang'an, he was not even punished for the unwarranted "private damage to the walls of the high temple". In the end, he was sent out of the east gate of Chang'an City - Xuanping Gate by Prince Liu Sheng himself, and all Finally, I returned to the capital of Linjiang: Jiangling City.

Liu Rong was able to save his life, so Queen Dowager Dou naturally had no reason to find Lieutenant Zhi to "kill for life".

Although after that incident that year, Empress Dowager Dou was quite critical of Zhidu in private, and often said to others, 'Zhidu is no good, he almost killed my grandson', but it is better than forcing Zhidu to death with a paper. However, Qi Qi, who is the emperor, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and from the beginning to the end, he didn't dare to intercede for him.

After Tiao Hou Zhou Yafu and Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu were recalled to Chang'an by Emperor Qi, whose physical condition became more and more worrying, for the crime of "possessing armor privately" and "treating two successive prime ministers harshly", the reaction of the Chang'an court was still the same. Because of the events of the year, there have been some subtle and unusual changes...
"Both Marquis Tiao and King Zhao were recalled to Chang'an, but the door of the Lieutenant's Mansion is still closed?"

"This······"

"Forgive me for being stupid: I really don't understand very well."

Sitting on the carriage driving slowly on Zhangtai Street, leisurely looking out of the car window and at the streets beside the street, Liu Sheng just smiled and shook his head when he heard the whispering voice in his ear.

The voice from behind did not move Liu Sheng's gaze back from the car window;

He only smiled and sighed leisurely, then asked softly without looking back: "According to Qing's opinion, where should Marquis Tiao and King Zhao be sent?"

"One is a hero, the other is a clan vassal, and they were recalled to Chang'an at the same time. They can't all be sent to the Lieutenant's Mansion, right?"

As soon as this remark came out, the young man in the carriage frowned again, and the look of doubt on his face almost overflowed.

"Of course I understand what the family means."

"King Zhao was not sent to the Lieutenant's Mansion, and the minister can still understand."

"—For one thing, the faults committed by King Zhao are not serious. In addition, the two prime ministers of Zhao Guo who died of crimes are indeed conclusive witnesses, and they deserve death for their crimes."

"Both, King Zhao's feudal state is very special. He shoulders the heavy burden of commanding the soldiers of Yan, Dai, and Zhao, and guarding the border walls. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he should not move lightly."

"So for King Zhao, let the queen mother come forward and reprimand him, let King Zhao know his fault, and he can restrain himself a little later."

"But Tiaohou's crime is hiding armor in the mansion?"

"For such a serious crime, if His Majesty let the prime minister, court lieutenant, and lieutenant deal with it, I wouldn't be surprised at all."

"But His Majesty summoned the Marquis into the court, clearly intending to severely punish him, but he didn't do so. Instead, he only let the Tingwei take charge of this matter..."

···
"I'm really puzzled when I think about it."

"Could it be that your Majesty summoned the Marquis to the court without any intention of severely punishing him, but just wanted to scare the Marquis so that he could pay attention in the future?"

"But if that's the case, His Majesty doesn't need to go through so much trouble;"

"The family doesn't need to leave Zhao Wang alone, accepting the empress dowager's reprimand in Changle Palace alone, but running to Tingwei Mansion by himself?"

Liu Sheng asked straightforwardly, but the young man really dared to answer straightforwardly;

Some blunt words that can be called "fools" finally pulled Liu Sheng's gaze back from the car window.

Turning around, seeing the elegant and easy-going demeanor of the young man, as well as the slightly abrupt fortitude between his brows, Liu Sheng couldn't help but smile helplessly on his face.

"Your mouth..."

···
"In front of Gu, Qing is so straightforward, but it's okay;"

"But in front of outsiders, Qing must think carefully about his words."

"Note: Sickness enters through the mouth, misfortune comes out through the mouth..."

In a pretentiously relaxed tone, he uttered this awakening sentence cryptically, and when the young man's complexion changed slightly, Liu Sheng smiled and shook his head again.

After the young man unconsciously arched his hands and bowed silently to Liu Sheng, Liu Sheng nodded with a smile and began to answer the young man's questions.

"Brother Zhao Wang was recalled to Chang'an by the emperor, of course because in the past year, two Prime Ministers of the Zhao Kingdom had died in Handan City, and the emperor intended to question him;"

"But just as Qing just said: the two prime ministers of Zhao Guo who died in Handan City are all witnesses and material evidence, the evidence is conclusive, and they deserve to die for the crime."

"If we only talk about whether it complies with the law or not, then the death of these two Zhao Guoxiangs has nothing to do with Zhao Wangxiong. It is completely the two Zhao Guoxiangs' own fault."

"That's why, when my father summoned Brother Zhao to the pilgrimage this time, he didn't claim to be 'responsible' or 'criminal', but just 'to meet the saint'."

"Since it's not about inquiring about crimes, then there is no reason for Brother Zhao to go to Tingwei's Mansion or Zhongwei's Mansion when he comes to Chang'an."

"Because of emotion and reason, Zongzheng should be responsible for Brother Zhao's matter."

"—Doesn't it show family ugliness?"

"Go up to the sky, that is, Zongzheng, with his father's entrustment, admonishes Zhao Wang brother openly and secretly, and then repeats his father's sentence of 'seeing the future effect', this matter is considered to be the end of the story. "

"It's just that the emperor's grandmother and father had something to say earlier: the affairs of Brother Zhao Wang will be handled by the emperor's grandmother."

"With all the things here, Brother Zhao was picked up by Feng Chang at Hangu Pass, and he was sent straight to Changle Palace and to the emperor's grandmother without stopping all the way."

···
"Ah~"

"In Changle Palace, Brother Wang may have to stay for three to five days~"

"After all, the imperial grandmother's ability to train her nephews was learned from the late Empress Dowager Bo, and she followed Huang Lao's way of managing the family."

"—Do nothing, and do everything..."

"Hey!"

"Brother Wang, you've had a hard time these few days..."

Hearing Liu Sheng's words, the young man nodded thoughtfully and took up the conversation naturally.

"Yes."

"My Huang-Lao's teachings, although people in the world mistakenly think that they are lazy and loose, and only talk about the theory of 'governance by inaction', but the real intention of Huang-Lao's inaction is actually to do nothing and do everything."

"As for the empress dowager's teaching King Zhao, what I follow is also the philosophy of my Huang Laoxue ruling side: if there is no prohibition, there is no blame;"

"On the contrary, if the law prohibits it, it must be investigated, strictly investigated, and even exhausted."

"In addition to my Huang-Lao school, I uphold the concept of 'Strict teachers make good students' and 'Sticks make filial sons' when it comes to the elders' upbringing and discipline of their nephews."

"In this way, after walking in front of the queen mother once, King Zhao will definitely restrain himself after returning to Handan..."

After saying that, the young man still did not forget to make a vague and flustered expression, and even shuddered suddenly;
After Liu Sheng smiled and raised his eyebrows, and asked "Did you remember something from the past", the young man smiled stiffly and lowered his head without saying any more.

Seeing that the young man was obviously insincere, Liu Sheng naturally saw what the young man was thinking at a glance.

Today's Liu Sheng is already firmly seated in the position of crown prince, with the backing of the empress's mother, the emperor's father, and the empress dowager's grandmother.

Naturally, those who can appear in Liu Sheng's car and go somewhere with Liu Sheng are not ordinary people.

Especially since he is a young man, obviously he will not be an important minister in the court, so it is even more obvious that this young man is definitely not small...

"Jiqing's family background is prominent, and his ancestors have been eunuchs for generations;"

"Now, although I wash horses for the crown prince, and I'm in charge of ushering in and sending them off, and the duty of following the audience, but after all, I have studied Huang Lao's studies since I was a child, and I should be familiar with the laws of my Han family, right?"

After a brief silence, Liu Sheng asked a question out of the blue, which only caused the young man to blush, as if he was a little ashamed by Liu Sheng's harmless words.

Seeing the young man's attitude, Liu Sheng stopped beating around the bush, smiled kindly, and directed the conversation to Zhou Yafu.

"What Ji Qing said is actually true."

"Father summoned Marquis Tiao back to Chang'an this time, making it clear that he wanted to severely punish Marquis Tiao for his crime of hiding armor."

"Since it is a severe punishment, it should be as Ji Qing said: order the Prime Minister, Tingwei, and Lieutenant to deal with the case, and even add a doctor to supervise the case."

"But although the truth is the same, when it comes to this matter, there are some differences in the details."

···
"The current Prime Minister is Tao Qing, Marquis of Kaifeng."

"As for Tiaohou Zhou Yafu, he served as prime minister for a short time after the Wu-Chu Rebellion."

"And when Tiaohou Zhou Yafu was prime minister, Yushi Dafu—that is, the sub-prime minister who checks and balances the prime minister, is the current prime minister Tao Qing."

"In the past, Zhou Yafu was the prime minister, and Tao Qing was the 'sub-prime minister' with the official position of Yushi doctor. The two sides check and balance each other and compete with each other, so it is inevitable that there will be some hostility."

"So this time, my father summoned Marquis Zhou Yafu to the capital. If the prime minister is allowed to intervene in this case, then the personal grievances that Tao Qing had accumulated with Zhou Yafu will most likely come to fruition."

"—People will say: Zhou Yafu was severely punished, not because he himself committed any serious crimes, but because the prime minister who presided over the case, Kaifeng Hou Taoqing, once served as the Yushi doctor, had an enmity with the then prime minister Zhou Yafu .”

"Such a result is not what the emperor wants."

"Tao Qing, the prime minister, may not be considered outstanding, but my father has been using it quite comfortably for the past few years..."

···
"Let's talk about Lieutenant Zhidu;"

"Since he became a dignitary, Zhidu has always regarded himself as an 'lonely minister' and a 'straight minister', and has never liked to make friends with courtiers. Everything is only obeyed by the emperor's order."

"It stands to reason that Zhi Du took Zhou Yafu to the Lieutenant's Mansion, so there would be no problem like Tao Qing's."

"—After all, in the past, Zhidu and Zhou Yafu never had any unpleasant things in private."

"Or it should be said: Everyone inside and outside the government and the public have a bad relationship with Zhidu—although it is not considered a bad relationship, it is definitely not a friendly relationship."

"But today's Zhidu, because of what happened to King Linjiang back then, has fallen under the empress dowager's side."

"Don't say it's in front of outsiders. Even when I'm around, the emperor's grandmother would often say without any scruples: This man, Zhidu, almost killed my nephew Liu. He is very unreliable!"

"He also said that if something happens in the future, it's best not to use Zhidu if you can."

"Because of these reasons, my father excluded Lieutenant Zhidu from the list of Zhou Yafu who investigated and prosecuted the Marquis."

"—Father, I always don't want to offend my grandmother;"

"Especially right now, my father's body..."

"cough cough;"

"At such a juncture, father and emperor will naturally follow the wishes of the emperor's grandmother, so that in case of a future, the emperor's grandmother can also control the situation, so that the crown prince can take over the big position safely..."

I don't know if he was infected by the stupid temper of this young man surnamed Ji, or because he had a rare chance to speak his mind, Liu Sheng was a little bit reckless at the end of his speech;

It wasn't until the surname Ji's face was sullen, looked around in horror and fear, and then winked for a while, that Liu Sheng stopped talking.

"Cough cough cough cough..."

"In short, that's what happened."

"—Tao Qing and Zhou Yafu have a personal grievance, so the prime minister cannot intervene in this case;"

"Zhidu offended the queen mother because of Linjiang King's matter, and the father didn't want to upset the queen mother, so the lieutenant couldn't handle this matter."

"As for Lieutenant Ting~"

"Tut tut;"

"Tingwei Zhao Yu, once worked in the prime minister's mansion when Zhou Yafu was the prime minister;"

"If you want to be more serious, you can also say that he is Zhou Yafu's 'student and old official'."

"That's why father was forced to have no choice but to leave the matter to Ting Wei, and sent me, the crown prince, to keep an eye on Zhao Yu."

···
"According to Zhao Yu's temperament, there is a high probability that he will be impartial and selfless this time, and he will even intensify his relentless pursuit because he once knew Zhou Yafu well."

"But everything has a contingency."

"There's nothing wrong with being alone, going to 'visit and visit' Tiao Hou, there's nothing wrong..."

Forcing himself to swallow the more taboo words, and hastily drawing an end to the meeting, Liu Sheng finally turned around with still unfinished content, and continued to stare out the car window in a daze.

After a long time, there was still no sound coming from behind him, so Liu Sheng could only shake his head and smile again, and reminded softly: "The prison of Ting Wei's mansion is almost here..."

"--what?"

"cough cough;"

"If you don't stand in the front room again, when you get to Tingwei's prison, Gu will have to sing it himself to pay respects..."

"—Oh, oh oh!"

"—Forgive me at home!"

Reminded by Liu Sheng to get up in a hurry, and regardless of the car driving on the road, he walked out of the car from the rear side vigorously and moved to the front room along the frame outside the car, the young man surnamed Ji was slightly relieved;

After clearing his throat, he was ready to sing.

And inside the carriage, through the window on the front side of the carriage, looking at the bewildered young man who was busy in the front room, the corner of Liu Sheng's mouth could not help but raise a rather helpless arc.

"Ji An..."

"hey-hey;"

"It's the embryo of an old celebrity~"

"Tsk tsk, even if you are younger, you are still a fool?"

"Hey hey hey hey hey hey..."
