I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 317 Is this Zhou Yafu...
For himself to have such a heart-to-heart in-depth communication with Zhou Yafu, Liu Sheng was born in his heart, in fact, he is still very much looking forward to it.

After all, no matter how the "nine sons of the emperor" and "the crown prince wins", Liu Sheng is still a young man under twenty years old in the final analysis.

The reverence for warriors and martial arts, as well as the yearning for martial arts and martial arts, are the instincts deep in the soul of every Chinese boy.

As a passionate young man, Liu Sheng certainly admires Zhou Yafu, who has made great contributions to the society, and can even be said to be a hero who has "great meritorious service" in this era.

It's just that although Liu Sheng can think so in his heart, he can't say so in his mouth.

the reason is simple.

——Liu Sheng is not an ordinary boy.

In the decades visible to the naked eye, or even a short period of ten years or even a few years later, Liu Sheng will be pushed to the supreme throne, shoulder the burden of the ancestral temple, the country, and even the Chinese civilization, and become the heaven of the mainland of China. ······

"Tiao Hou doesn't want to say it, so I won't force myself."

"Although I still don't understand what can happen, it can make Tiaohou so frightened that he can't eat or sleep, but Tiaohou doesn't want to say it, so that's all."

"It's just that things have come to this point, I hope that Tiao Hou can express all the thoughts and thoughts in his heart."

"In this way, even in the future, if something happens to Marquis Tiao, the orphan can still tell future generations at the age of his children and grandchildren: Zhou Yafu, Marquis Tiao, is a hero of our Han family and a minister of the country;"

"Instead of a rebellious courtier who intends to rebel because of his private armor and shield?"

I'm not a person who likes to put on airs, squat down, and likes to guess riddles and beat around the bush when he says anything;

What's more, since the conversation has reached this point, Liu Sheng has completely lost his mind, completely discarded all the scene talk, and opened his mouth just to have a heart-to-heart talk with Zhou Yafu.

Seeing Liu Sheng's posture, although he was still dissatisfied with the eldest prince who was "bathed in the monkey and crowned", Zhou Yafu thought over and over again, and finally let out a long sigh helplessly.

"Ugh······"

"Since His Highness has said so, if I keep my mouth shut in arrogance, it seems that I am living a joke at my age..."

"Never mind."

"There is an old saying: When a bird is about to die, its song is mournful; when a person is about to die, its words are kind."

"Although I, Zhou Yafu, am a rough man, I am not ignorant of knowledge and knowledge of the world."

"When I'm in this dying place, although I can't say any 'good' words, I can say a few open words..."

"Hey;"

"It's all the way to the point where half of the neck is buried in the ground. There's nothing wrong with talking to His Highness..."

···
"Ah~"

"What I'm afraid of is actually that thing."

"—The struggle between the sons and daughters, the subversion of human relations, if things go on like this, the country will not be the country..."

"Perhaps in His Highness's view, this is a commonplace talk, and there is no need to discuss it in detail."

"But after knowing why I attach so much importance to these things, and why I insist so stubbornly on the 'difference between concubine and concubine', His Highness may change his mind towards you..."

Watching Zhou Yafu get up with a bitter sigh on his waist, walk to the grill window on the side of the inner wall of the cell, and sigh with his arms behind his back, Liu Sheng subconsciously took a deep breath and adjusted his sitting posture a little.

But in what Liu Sheng didn't notice, Zhou Yafu's address to Liu Sheng changed from "Young Master" to His Highness at some point;

The self-proclaimed self has also changed from words like "a certain" and "I" to a minister...

"Your Highness must know: I, Zhou Yafu, am the former Prime Minister, Taiwei, Founding Father, Feng Pei Yuancong—the bastard son of the late Jiangwuhou Zhou."

"Of course His Highness knows: Boss Zhou had three sons before his death, and his minister had two."

"But few people know, or few people have noticed: there are three ministers and brothers, only one minister is a concubine;"

"Whether it's the eldest brother—Jianghou Zhou Shengzhi, who was convicted and lost his country, or the younger brother Zhou Jian, they are all descendants."

"The second son of a concubine, sandwiched between the eldest brother and the younger brother, no one has ever known what he has experienced, or even what he is experiencing..."

···
"During the first emperor's reign, my late father Zhou Shengzhi passed away, and the title of Marquis Jiang was passed on to my elder brother Zhou Shengzhi."

"It's just that not long after that, the eldest brother killed someone and deserved to die, and the Jianghou Kingdom was also deposed."

"The first emperor was kind and wanted to restore my Zhou family to continue my bloodline;"

"But in the end, the first emperor did not bestow the title of Zhou Jian, the second son of his late father, but bestowed the title of marquis on his ministers."

"Since that day, it has been more than ten years, Zhou Jian, the younger brother of the minister and the first son, has never had any contact with him."

"—The younger brother of the minister said: It is because of my treachery that I, a slave son from a concubine, took away the feudal state and food town that should belong to the direct line;"

"I am a distant relative of the Zhou family, and even said that I..."

"Ah~~~..."

"It doesn't matter if you don't say it;"

"Don't say it, it doesn't matter..."

Hesitant to speak, he stopped Huatou, and let out another long sigh, Zhou Yafu finally turned around;
Looking at Liu Sheng with a self-deprecating face for a moment, seeing that Liu Sheng was still listening quietly, Zhou Yafu shook his head again, and laughed at himself again.

He Xiao shook his head, walked forward with a sigh, and sat down on the edge of the mud couch again.

Staring deeply into the depths of Liu Sheng's gaze, the self-deprecating smile on Zhou Yafu's face also disappeared little by little on the old face that was covered with gray, but also full of fortitude.

"Minister, concubine."

"The feudal state and food city that has won the direct line, while looking after the huge clan, silently endure the slander and slander of the direct line, as well as the side branches of the common line."

"In the past 11 years, there have been 47 males, big and small, of the Zhou family. So far, not even one person has fallen to a miserable end because they did not receive the protection of the clan."

"—These six veins are 47 Ding, and the minister has taken care of them;"

"Even if the deceased father Jiangwuhou Zhou returned to the world, he would never be able to find fault with my minister when he saw a scene like my Zhou family's."

"But until just one month ago, the day I was escorted from the feudal kingdom to Chang'an, those words still lingered in my ears."

"——Zhou Yafu came from a concubine with a different branch, but he was insidious and cunning to seize the heir. He was in charge of the affairs of the clan's heirs and concubines. In fact, he was the crown of the monkey..."

···
"I'm not afraid that His Highness will be angry;"

"I have heard every bad comment I have made towards His Highness in the past ten years or so."

"And in the past ten years or so, it is the minister who has been accused of being unworthy of virtue, being crowned with a monkey, and the concubine has seized the heir, and occupied the family property and family business of the heir."

"He is the second son of the late Jiangwu Hou Zhou, the former governor of Hanoi, the captain of Xiliu, and successively served as lieutenant, general of chariots, captain, and prime minister: Zhou Yafu..."

···
······
After speaking in an extremely melancholy and self-deprecating tone, Zhou Yafu stared into the depths of Liu Sheng's eyes again;

I don't know how long it took before Liu Sheng sighed lightly as if he had realized something, and then raised the corners of his mouth unnaturally.

"So, what Tiaohou is afraid of is this."

"Tiao Hou feels that the Zhou clan has 47 bloodlines, and because of the dispute between the heirs and concubines, they have made trouble like this today;"

"If the Crown Prince Chujun is alone, then my Liu family's veins will be at odds for a long time, and there will be no peace forever?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yafu only smiled stiffly, but neither nodded nor shook his head.

He remained silent for a long time, before letting out another long sigh.

"Ugh······"

"Chen, it's just a marquis."

"Even with the contribution to quelling the chaos between Wu and Chu, there is another Jianghou's feudal state, but it is only Chehou."

"What I need to take care of and take care of is only the 47 Ding of Zhou's six veins;"

"If I don't do it, it's just a disaster for the Zhou family, and it won't affect other people at all."

"But Mrs. Liu, it's different..."

···
"Since the time of Taizu Emperor Gao, the lineage of Liu's clan and royal family has never been cut off."

"——Emperor Xiaohui was born, but Empress Dowager Lu almost put King Qi Mourhui to death because King Qi Mourhui was older than Emperor Xiaohui;"

"Even if in the end, King Qi Yuhui was able to save his life, it was because he voluntarily ceded an entire county among the three counties of the Qi State, and also recognized the eldest sister of Emperor Xiaohui's mother, Princess Lu Yuan, as the Queen Mother."

"When Emperor Xiaohui passed away, Empress Zhang had no children, and Empress Dowager Lu established two false emperors successively;"

"This led to the chaos of Zhulu later on. Fortunately, the first emperor came from Daiguo to succeed Datong, that is, the emperor, and it was considered that Liu's ancestral temple and community were preserved."

"However, the first emperor succeeded in a side branch, but among the Liu clan's clan, those whose blood was far away could not be further away, and the side branches of the common line, the king Liu Wu of Chu and the king of Wu Liu Bi, who were in the side branch, were almost overthrown in the end. Han family community."

"It wasn't until after the rebellion between Wu and Chu was put down that the undercurrent of the Han family due to the rivalry between the Liu family and the concubines was finally eliminated."

"When Your Majesty weakens the power of the clan and princes with Jia Yijia Changsha's Tweet as the main, and Yushi Dafu Chao Cuo as the supplement, the power of the clan and princes will be weakened. The tragedy of devastated lives..."

···
"—Minister, you are a little arrogant."

"But it's not because I'm being rude, but because I'm deeply proud of everything I've done."

"I am proud that I personally ended the tragedy of the struggle between the Liu family's royal family and the concubine, which caused the world's people to die."

"But it was at the time when I thought that the Liu family would never have any conflicts between his sons and daughters, and that there would never be any wars caused by this incident, His Majesty said that he would fight with the crown prince. "

"It's just that His Majesty wants to stand, not Liu Rong, the eldest son of the concubine and the current King of Linjiang;"

"It's the Ninth Prince who has always been famous in the court and the public for his detachment and stubbornness. He is also the ninth prince among all the princes: Gongzi Sheng..."

When talking, Zhou Yafu always looked away unnaturally.

But the moment he finished speaking, Zhou Yafu's eyes fell on Liu Sheng's face without knowing when.

I don't know if it's an illusion;
Liu Sheng actually saw a trace of pity in Zhou Yafu's eyes looking at him, and felt the same...
"The meaning of the minister should be very clear."

"I said without self-effacing: In the respective clans, the situation of His Highness is the same as mine."

"——It's all 'the crown of the monkey', and it's all uncoordinated by virtue;"

"In the future, His Highness will definitely be like this minister: He obviously tried his best to protect the clan, but in the end, he still didn't get the approval of his relatives."

···
"What I'm worried about is what I said just now: the problem of the minister is still only the problem of the Zhou clan;"

"The minister made a mistake, and it was only the fault of the Zhou clan after all."

"But His Highness's problem is Liu's problem;"

"And Liu's problems, especially the problems between the reigning emperor and the princes of the Guandong clan, will be the problems of the world."

"From past experience, such problems will have serious consequences..."

"——Emperor Taizu Gao certainly never expected that the descendants of the elder brother Daiqing Wang Liu Xi and the younger brother Chu Yuan Wang Liu Jiao would leave the four characters 'Wu Chu Rebellion' in the annals of our Han family history .”

"But now, His Highness certainly cannot predict what kind of changes will happen between His Highness's descendants and the descendants of the current Linjiang King, Jiangdu King and other clan princes after a hundred years..."

···
"Let me say something that is not self-effacing: the chaos between Wu and Chu was fortunate to have His Majesty in power, the Empress Dowager in the East Palace, and my minister Zhou Yafu, so that the ancestral temple was not overthrown."

"But next time, the Han family breaks out of war because of the rivalry between the sons and daughters. Will the emperor in Weiyang Palace still hold the same power as His Majesty?"

"Donggong Changle, can there still be a powerful queen mother who can control the overall situation?"

"Is there another Taiwei, Zhou Yafu, who can calm the war that has affected most of the world in three months?"

···
"Sir, I'm afraid."

"I'm afraid not."

"I am afraid that the king of future generations will not be as wise and decisive as the current sage;"

"I am afraid that the empress dowagers of future generations will not understand the righteousness better than the present empress dowager Dou;"

"I'm also afraid that the ministers of future generations will never have another Taiwei Zhou Yafu..."

At the end, Zhou Yafu didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes turned red;

Lowering his head shyly, and wiping away the tears on his face, Zhou Yafu looked at Liu Sheng for the last time, and finally showed a gentle smile.

"Your Highness, you don't have to think too much."

"This is nothing more than the emotion and sigh of a dying person before he dies."

"It's just ridiculous that I, Zhou Yafu, have made great achievements in the army all my life. When I am about to 'die', I have to entrust a person who I hate and tirelessly..."

"Ah······"

"Your Highness, please take care of me in the Zhou clan in the future;"

"Even if someone violates the law of the country, please forgive me a little for the sake of Yafken bowing his head today."

"My lord, let me first thank His Royal Highness for your great kindness..."

"Tiao Houchen Zhou Yafu, I sincerely salute..."
