I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

"My lord retreated to the left and right, and talked to someone alone in Tingwei's prison. What do you want to say?"

After a while, only Liu Sheng and Zhou Yafu were left sitting opposite each other in the barely spacious and bright cell.

It’s just that Liu Sheng never expected that the one who spoke first was actually even more stubborn than the old prime minister in the past—Gu An Hou Shen Tu Jiadu: Tiao Hou Zhou Yafu...
"If you came here to make trouble and come to see a joke, then you can leave here."

"I, Zhou Yafu, walk upright and sit upright."

"What you have never done, even if you die, you will never give in!"

···
"If you have reached this point and you still want to get my approval, then you should give up this idea as soon as possible."

"It may be difficult for me to bear this catastrophe."

"Even if the son is not worthy of the position, he is already in the position of the crown prince, so why bother with a dying person like me?"

Before Liu Sheng recovered from the astonishment that "Zhou Yafu actually spoke first", Zhou Yafu took the opportunity to express all the thoughts in his heart;
Although Zhou Yafu obviously calmed down a lot after Zhao Yu left the cell, and his tone of voice was relatively calm, but after saying these words all at once, the stubborn bull still did not forget to turn his body away a little, as if he wanted to Express his determination to 'never be in the same room as the prince who is crowned with monkeys'.

Disrupted by Zhou Yafu's unexpected preemptive opening, several sets of drafts that Liu Sheng had prepared before were wasted;

But no matter what, the current Liu Sheng has been the prince of the Han Dynasty for more than two years and nearly three years.

After only a brief shock, a whole set of contingency strategies quickly emerged in Liu Sheng's mind.

"Tiao Hou's reaction really did not exceed my expectations at all..."

When Youyou opened her mouth, it was a sentence that was extremely contrary to her heart, and Liu Sheng's expression on his face had also quickly adjusted from the previous state of shock.

However, Liu Sheng's next performance made Zhou Yafu feel a little stunned for a while.

——This, is it really the nine sons of the emperor who are "unworthy of virtue" and "crown with monkeys"?

Is it really the stunned young man who smashed the eye sockets of the general in the court when he didn't agree with him back then, but didn't take it seriously?
Rather than those years, it is more recognized by the market...
"Tiao Hou, maybe I remembered it wrong?"

"Gu, the nine sons of the emperor who are straightforward and upright in everything;"

"Even in the past few years, there have always been elders and sages who taught me: People in high positions cannot be so without a city, I still haven't been able to get rid of this 'problem'."

"So Tiao Hou doesn't need to make wild guesses."

"—Although he is not a warrior like Marquis Tiao, he is still the bloodline descendant of Emperor Gao of Taizu;"

"Even if you don't have the arrogance of a warrior like Marquis Tiao, but the demeanor that the royal relatives, clansmen and royal families should have, and the status of a lonely prince and crown prince, you will not be inferior in front of Marquis Tiao, a minister who has committed crimes. "

"Tiao Hou, do you think so?"

Without any stage fright, Liu Sheng even responded to Zhou Yafu's title of "Young Master" in a tit-for-tat manner. By the way, he showed that he was "not a person who beat around the bush". Liu Sheng looked at Zhou Yafu with a more relaxed look.

And Liu Sheng's next words also showed: Liu Sheng was not pretending to be so tidy.

For a while today, Liu Sheng can accept it frankly to what extent and what results he has discussed with Zhou Yafu...

"No secrets."

"I came here today not because I really wanted to talk to Tiaohou."

"It's because the one who 'brought guilt into the court' with Tiaohou, and my elder brother: King Liu Pengzu of Zhao."

"—At this moment, King Zhao is kneeling under the long steps outside the Changxin Hall, begging for forgiveness from the emperor's grandmother."

"As for me, I just don't want to see my elder brother suffer this kind of suffering, and I can only stand by and watch, so I specially find something for myself to do."

···
"In other words: I don't have to come to Tingwei's prison alone today."

"In addition to Tingwei's prison, Gu can also go to Shanglin to inspect the affairs of the Shaofu Army Workshop, or go to a certain county around Chang'an to go around the market and see if there is any problem with the grain price. Is there any other miscellaneous money in circulation?"

"—Gu can even do nothing, just stay in the uterus and thank guests behind closed doors;"

"What's more, if you don't care about the heated discussion, Gu can also sneak out of Chang'an in a low-clothes suit, and play around in the land of Sanqin."

"What are the consequences of doing so, others may not know;"

"But as the son of Jiangwuhou Zhou Bo, Tiaohou, I couldn't be more clear..."

Liu Sheng talked eloquently, and even chatted with his old friends, or the old people in the countryside in an easy-going and casual manner, but Zhou Yafu was temporarily blunt and fell into a long silence.

Although he was very reluctant to admit it, Zhou Yafu knew very well in his heart: what Liu Sheng said just now, let alone a 'fake', he couldn't even pick out a single 'false word'!

Does Liu Sheng have to come to this Tingwei prison?
Zhou Yafu didn't understand Liu Sheng's intentions. Although he was not sure yet, what Zhou Yafu could figure out was: even if Zhou Yafu didn't come to the Tingwei Prison today, even if Zhou Yafu died here because of this, for Liu Sheng, it wouldn't matter at all. Nothing to lose.

As for what Liu Sheng said in his mouth, "I can't bear to see my brother suffer, but I can't do anything." Zhou Yafu is an old minister at least—or an "old man" at least.

Although the words are not very clear, what Liu Sheng really wants to say is: King Zhao is going to Changle Palace to be scolded. It is not convenient for me to intervene. ';
Therefore, Liu Sheng needs to find something for himself to do casually. Fortunately, in the future, when someone asks, "Why didn't the crown prince help to intercede when King Zhao was scolded?", Liu Sheng said without guilt: Ah, that day Ah, I have something to do that day, I'm busy, I can't take care of it...
As for the several choices Liu Sheng listed successively, Zhou Yafu had no way to refute them.

——As the main person in charge of Shaofu's quantity and price control work and the initiator of Shaofu's government-run Guanzhong grain, Liu Sheng can of course wander around Chang'an, and the euphemistic name is: to investigate the rise and fall of grain prices.

In the same way: as the direct person in charge of the unification of the currency value, Liu Sheng can also go around to see if the policy of "specializing four baht coins" in the court has been implemented.

As for nesting in the crown prince's womb, of course it is also Liu Sheng's right - a sentence of 'the crown prince is unwell, please close the door to thank the guests for rest' can make it through.

And Liu Sheng’s last mention of going out of the palace in micro-services, out of Chang’an, and even in the whole of Guanzhong, it sounds a little appalling;

But as Liu Sheng said: Others may not know the urine nature of the old Liu family, but as the son of Jianghou Zhoubo, Tiaohou Zhou Yafu, it is impossible not to know...

Needless to say, just give an example of a past event that actually happened in the past years and has a high probability of being famous in history, so we can see the attitude of Lao Tzu, the emperor of the old Liu family, towards similar things.

——Everyone knows that when Zi Qizai was still the crown prince, he was caught by the court lieutenant Zhang Shizhi because of the behavior of "going out to play late, missed the palace ban, and tried to enter the palace by car" Spray fiercely.

In the end, even the first emperor had to come forward, took off his hat and apologized in front of Zhang Shizhi, and begged pitifully: "My son is not sensible. It's because I haven't educated him well. You see it for the sake of my old face." Come on, don't embarrass my son anymore...

Let the emperor Lao Tzu take off his hat and apologize. Of course, after the prince made an announcement, he was beaten severely;
In succession to the throne in the future, Tianzi Qi also settled accounts in the autumn very "naturally", and kicked Zhang Shizhi to the Huainan Kingdom to become the king's minister, so he was out of sight and out of mind.

——Even this is on the premise that Zhang Shizhi felt that he had "insufficient life balance" and bowed his head softly to Emperor Qifu first, apologizing and apologizing!

Back then, the reason why Tianzi Qi "missed the palace ban" when he went out to play, and even rushed into the palace in a car, was of course not because he went to a certain place in the palm-sized Chang'an city.

That time, Tianzi Qi was the same as every time in the past, and every time after that: he took his good brother Liu Wu, who was sympathetic to his brother, and went to Weibei to have a carnival...

"Since Your Highness claims to be a straightforward person, then speak frankly."

"Why talk about these old things?"

"Could it be that from His Highness's point of view, in my current situation, can I chat with others and reminisce about the old days?"

After a long period of thinking, Zhou Yafu, who had never been able to find a counterattack point, had no choice but to forcibly change the topic in a low voice;

Liu Sheng didn't feel unhappy about this, he just followed Zhou Yafu's words and continued: "I just said: I don't have to come to this Tingwei prison."

"It's not so much that I came to Tingwei Prison specially, it's better to say that I really have nothing to do. I heard that Tiao Hou seemed to be in some trouble, so I stopped by to take a look."

"Seeing Wei Ting's actions towards Marquis Tiao, I started from scratch and came up with a few words. I wanted to talk to Marquis Tiao..."

Simply expressing his attitude, Liu Sheng stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point.

"Tingwei Zhao Yu was once the official assistant in the prime minister's mansion when Tiaohou was the prime minister."

"As Tiaohou's 'Gujiu', he can not be affected after Tiaohou loses power, and even ranks among the nine ministers, which shows that this person is extraordinary."

"Such an 'extraordinary' person, Tiaohou back then, shouldn't he not know or be familiar with?"

···
"Since this is the case, Tiao Hou will not fail to understand what kind of person Zhao Yu is."

"—Zhao Yu is honest, upright, arrogant, proficient in the law, and disdains dealing with people."

"Although he is not a very noble person, he is definitely not a person who takes advantage of others' dangers to make troubles, or even uses those in distress as a ladder to advance."

"Why doesn't that Marquis think about it: Zhao Yu, who obviously shouldn't do this, is treating the current Marquis like this for what reason?"

"What is it, or who is it, that can force Zhao Yu to go against his original intention and do such a thing of repaying his kindness and punishing his benefactor?"

"Putian family, there are only five people who can have such power."

"According to Tiaohou's knowledge, it's not impossible to guess who this person is?"

Zhou Yafu took deep breaths again and again for some almost explicit 'concealed' words, not only suppressing the anger caused by hearing the word 'Zhao Yu', but also really aware of his dangerous situation.

But Liu Sheng didn't care about other things at all, he just continued to say: "What is hiding armor shields, what is plotting to rebel, I know it in my heart, Tiaohou knows it in my heart, anyone with a discerning eye can understand it."

"It's not the five hundred armored shields that want to kill you;"

"As for what..."

"—This disgruntled person is not the young master."

"—this disgruntled one;"

"—No, the young master also..."

After Liu Sheng's continuous high-rated verbal bombardment, Zhou Yafu finally put aside his resentment towards 'Gong Zi Sheng'.

And when the phrase "this disgruntled person is not the young master" came to his ears, especially when it was passed to his ears for the second time, Liu Sheng clearly saw Zhou Yafu's muddy, scarlet, and angry expression all the time. In an instant, there was only clarity left in the eyes.

And in that piece of clarity, there are also sighs and helplessness that flashed from time to time...

"Chen, why don't you know..."

···
"Chen! Why don't you know!"

"Why don't you know that the one who wants the old life of the minister is the one who is so disgruntled, not the young master?!"

···
"I don't know the subject: the 'unhappy person', the subject, is not the subject's young master, but His Royal Highness..."

Full of loneliness, extreme helplessness, and never forgetting the firm and complicated tone, it also made Liu Sheng dumb for a while;
Zhou Yafu shook his head and sighed for thirty or fifty breaths, then raised his head with mixed feelings, and smiled at Liu Shengcan'er.

"Although His Highness is not the eldest prince, he is definitely a smart person."

"—or should be said: Your Highness, the prince, Your Majesty, taught you well..."

···
"What is the minister insisting on, a smart person like His Highness will not fail to understand."

"And what His Majesty is worried about, of course I can understand."

"It's just that even so, I still can't let go..."

"Chen, I'm very scared;"

"I'm so scared;"

"I'm so afraid that I don't know how to eat, and I don't know how to sleep."

"It's hard to sleep and eat~~~"

Shaking his head again and sighing bitterly, the self-deprecating smile on Zhou Yafu's face turned into boundless vicissitudes;

Having said all this, Liu Sheng finally suppressed the smile on his face, and even straightened up quite solemnly.

"Tiaohou, what are you afraid of?"

"What else in this world can make Tiao Hou so frightened?"

···
"Just now, Tiaohou himself said: This catastrophe is irresistible, and he may not be able to save his life, but even so, Tiaohou will never back down."

"Then, what else is there to be afraid of?"

"—A person who is not even afraid of death, what else is afraid of??"

"A person who is not even afraid of death, is he still afraid of living?????"
