I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 332 In the next few years, I am afraid I will suffer...

"If this is the case, then His Majesty's condition is probably really serious."

Tai uterus, side hall "Jiangwu hall".

It is said to be the lecture hall, but in fact, it is a part cut out from the original side hall, and then blocked by a screen.

And this lecture hall, which seemed to have fallen from the sky, was obviously Liu Sheng's intention to welcome Zhou Yafu, who also seemed to have fallen from the sky.

"how do I say this?"

Seeing Zhou Yafu make an inference without thinking, Liu Sheng naturally took over the conversation.

After this period of high-frequency exchange of words, Liu Sheng and Zhou Yafu have understood each other's temperament.

——Zhou Yafu is principled, has a bottom line, is very stubborn, but is also a rare straightforward person;
And Liu Shengxi is upright and evil in conspiracy, although his mouth is a little bit sloppy, he is still an open-minded person.

After getting along day and night during this period, Liu Sheng and Zhou Yafu have developed a rather weird way of communication;
Liu Sheng has long been accustomed to Zhou Yafu's blunt words that pop up at every turn, and any one of them can make people turn pale.

"If my memory serves me correctly, the family should have been born in the 14th year of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen's reign;"

"When the first emperor passed away, my family was already nine years old, and when your Majesty's crown prince supervised the country, my family was already old enough to remember?"

Asked with a calm face, Liu Sheng nodded slightly, and saw Zhou Yafu leaning his upper body back a little.

"Since this is the case, then even if the family doesn't know everything about those things back then, there are still some remnants of memories..."

···
"——In the second year of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen's Houyuan, Ting Wei Zhang Shizhi impeached the current prince for the last time: wronging the palace ban, entering the Sima Gate, galloping in the palace and other crimes."

"Emperor Taizong Xiaowen repeatedly pleaded for mercy, but Zhang Tingwei still refused to forgive. In desperation, the late emperor had no choice but to take off his hat and apologize again, and gave Zhang Tingwei a royal sword on the grounds of 'following the public and upholding justice'."

"In the summer of the same year, the crown prince played the Son of Heaven: Zhang Ou, the Marquis of Anqiu, has achieved quite a lot in the study of criminal punishment. Please come in as the court captain."

"The first emperor replied: Yes..."

Hearing Zhou Yafu talk about this old story, Liu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

Of course, Liu Sheng had no impression of this incident back then.

——Liu Sheng was only six years old at that time!

The most important thing is: At that time, Liu Sheng was still full of thoughts about where the king would be sealed in the future, and he didn't pay attention at all, and he was unwilling to pay attention, and dared not pay attention to these things inside and outside the court.

As for where Liu Sheng knew these things, it has to be about half a year ago, when Zhang Shizhi, the prime minister of Huainan, died of illness in office, Liu Sheng asked the emperor about Zhang Shizhi.

During that conversation, Liu Sheng learned a lot.

For example, in the early years, Zhang Shizhi worked as a knife and pen official for many years, but he never made it through;
Being an official did not make a name for himself, but instead made Chang'an's expenses overwhelmed, and finally said the famous sentence of "long-term eunuchs reduce production".

——Being an official for so long has reduced my brother's assets a lot.

What does that mean?

This is about Zhang Shizhi, the first "Bai Lang" who became famous in the history of the Western Han Dynasty.

In the very beginning, Zhang Shizhi was actually a son of a very wealthy man. With his brother's wealth, he lived a happy life.

As for how moist it is?

——It was so moist that Zhang Shizhi's brother had spare money, and it was 100 million yuan in spare money, so he donated Zhang Shizhi the highest-level riding man among the rich men!

What is the concept?
You must know that the concept of a "middle-class family" in the Han Dynasty today is only a family fortune of one hundred thousand yuan!

The money Zhang Shizhi spent on donating officials was equivalent to spending all the property of ten middle-class families!

To say that Zhang Shizhi's elder brother can easily spend 100 million spare money for his younger brother, no matter what, he must be a billionaire.

But it is also such a rich man, because Zhang Shizhi has been an official for ten years and cannot be promoted, and his assets have been greatly reduced by Zhang Shizhi's huge expenses in Chang'an.

If Zhang Shizhi can say "long-term eunuchs reduce Zhongyi", even if half of his tens of millions of wealth has not been spent, two or three out of ten of it will be lost;
And when Zhang Shizhi said the phrase "long-term official reduction of production", he was actually complaining to the people around him that Chang'an was expensive and had no future as an official, and he didn't want to continue to be an official and continue to "reduce production".

Fortunately, Zhang Shizhi's phrase "long eunuchs and less production" was passed down to the ears of Zhonglang General Yuan Ang, who was proud of the spring breeze and began to be favored by the current Empress Dowager Dou and the then Empress Dou.

Knowing that Zhang Shizhi hadn't been promoted for ten years, he already had the idea of ​​resigning from office. Yuan An, who had always adhered to the principle of 'making friends with people all over the world', made the move without accident.

Yuan An approached the late Emperor Liu Heng, and said: "Your Majesty has a person beside him. Although he may not have any talents, he has worked hard as a Lang Guan for ten years. Your Majesty may want to meet such a person."

Ever since the late emperor met Zhang Shizhi with his kindness, he opened the window as soon as he met: don't talk high-spirited, talk about things that are close to real life and can be implemented immediately.

Naturally, Zhang Shizhi didn't want to miss the only chance in his life, so he expressed some profound insights on the demise of Ying Qin and the prosperity of Liu Han.

After the duet was over, the first emperor looked at Yuan An who was beside him: What kind of official position does Zhonglang think this person is qualified for?
Yuan An thought for a while and said, "Your audience?"
The first emperor finally smiled and appointed Zhang Shizhi as the leader of the Yezhe Servant, the Yezhe.

Since he was the servant of the audience, Zhang Shizhi would naturally stand by the side of the front room of the imperial chariot when the late emperor traveled;

Every time you go to a place, you have to sing "Your Majesty is here ~ so and so welcome ~" and the like.

Once, Zhang Shizhi followed the first emperor to Shanglinyuan, and finally stopped outside the tiger circle.

It was a rare visit to Shanglin Garden, and the late Emperor naturally wanted to investigate and inspect the work, so he called Shanglin Wei and asked a dozen questions about the tiger circle.

Captain Shanglin was at least the leader of Shanglinyuan, in charge of a huge Shanglinyuan, tenant farmers, fields, water conservancy, and Shaofu workshops, one head and two big;
Unfortunately, the first emperor was so powerful, when he asked about the Laoshizi tiger circle, then Shang Lin Wei himself asked three questions, and the first emperor didn't answer any of the dozen or so questions.

On the contrary, the stingy man who took care of the tiger pen was very familiar with these professional knowledge and answered the late emperor's dozen questions perfectly.

As a result, the late emperor said: I asked a question, Shanglin Wei couldn't answer it, but the stingy man in charge of the tiger circle answered it. Doesn't it mean that Shanglin Weide is not worthy, and the stingy man in the tiger circle has wasted his talent? ?
Just let these two people exchange, the stingy man will be Shang Lin Wei, and Shang Lin Wei will be the stingy man!
Such an absurd order naturally made everyone in the entourage stunned in place as if struck by lightning on the spot;

It happened to be the order of the emperor, and no one dared to say anything.

Just when the first emperor was about to get angry about 'why no one took orders', Zhang Shizhi stood up.

Zhang Shizhi told the late emperor: Jianghou Zhoubo and Dongyanghou Zhang Xiangru are all recognized and respected elders in the world, but these two people are not good at words, they only know how to do things in a down-to-earth manner.

Your Majesty came to Shanglin Garden today, and didn't see Shanglin Wei's daily toil at all, just because the stingy man can answer his own questions, he feels that the stingy man is more talented than Shanglin Wei;
If the positions of these two people were really switched, wouldn't that be the same as telling officials all over the world: Your Majesty likes Xiaoxiao who speaks eloquently, but not capable ministers who do things properly?

After being persuaded by Zhang Shizhi, the first emperor dismissed the absurd idea and called Zhang Shizhi to ride with him on the way back to the palace.

Along the way, Emperor Xian and Zhang Shizhi chatted about the topic of "why can't a person with a sharp tongue be reused";

Zhang Shizhi's answer quoted Ying Qin's repeated use of torture tools and punishments, and stated that innocent people can be seen being labeled, and directly described this as the culprit of "the death of Qin II".

The first emperor asked Zhang Shizhi about the failure of the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Shizhi answered truthfully, and the first emperor asked Zhang Shizhi to make the bus order.

The grievances and grievances between the former prince Qi, Dai Wang Liu Wu, and Zhang Shizhi also started with Zhang Shizhi's appointment as the bus order.

——The bus order is in charge of the palace gate.

——You are a prince and a prince. It is strange that Zhang Shizhi is not angry when he sees Tianer entering the palace gate and does not get out of the car, or comes to call the door after passing the gate control.

After one thing after another that demonstrated Zhang Shizhi's "selflessness", the late emperor paid more and more attention to Zhang Shizhi, from the bus order to the doctor, then to the general of Zhonglang, and finally to the court captain.

After becoming Tingwei, Zhang Shizhi's peak moment was the beginning of the chapter.

There is one thing that impressed Liu Sheng very deeply.

It is said that in the past, when the first emperor traveled by car and passed the Zhongwei Bridge on the way, a person suddenly got out from under the bridge!

This person did not have any malicious intentions, but happened to get out from the bottom of the bridge when the imperial chariot passed by;
But Marco couldn't see if anyone was malicious!

On the flat road ahead, a figure suddenly sprang out from nowhere, and the horse pulling the imperial chariot was frightened instantly, and immediately began to run wildly!
Fortunately, the first emperor was not thrown into the Weishui, nor was he thrown under the carriage, but just barely stopped safely after going through a period of life and death.

When getting out of the car, Xiandi's legs were weak...
afraid!

Crazy horses——Eight frightened and crazy horses are galloping, who would be afraid of anyone else!
But the fear of ordinary people is different from the fear of feudal emperors.

Ordinary people's fear is just fear;
But the fear of feudal emperors must be followed by anger and hatred!

Not surprisingly: the person who 'suddenly got out' and frightened the royal horse was arrested by the first emperor and sent directly to Ting Wei for questioning.

The Ting Wei at that time was just Zhang Shizhi who had just been appointed, who was like a fish in water and planned to show his talents.

After getting the case, Zhang Shizhi opened the "Han Law" sternly, and strictly followed the law, and gave the final judgment: offending the driver, a fine of four taels.

For this verdict, the first emperor naturally could not accept it at all.

——Good guy~
——I was scared out of my soul, and ended up with a 'fine of four taels'?
Anyway, it's okay to betray him by 'sit to death', and then allow him to pay for his crime with gold?
Knowing the late emperor's intentions, Zhang Shizhi still did not waver.

It was at that time that the statement that made Zhang Shizhi famous in history finally came out...
"The law is enough..."

"The spirit of the rule of law in the original version~"

"Tut tut;"

"I don't know if this Zhao Yu can become my Zhang Shizhi?"

While murmuring to himself, Liu Sheng turned his head subconsciously;

Seeing Zhou Yafu looking at him strangely, Liu Sheng suddenly realized, and turned his body towards Zhou Yafu.

"Oh, where did you just say that?"

"In the second year of the first emperor's reign, the father asked to play the first emperor, and asked for the appointment of Zhang Ou, the crown prince, as the court officer, which was approved by the first emperor."

"and then?"

"Then what happened?"

Seeing that Liu Shengfang had obviously deserted, Zhou Yafu only took a depressed breath;

Unexpectedly, Liu Sheng had no choice but to shake his head helplessly.

"When I mentioned this matter, I wanted to tell my family: as early as the first emperor, Shang was still the crown prince's majesty, and he also started to weave his own wings from the court lieutenant."

"In addition to Ting Wei, he found an errand in charge of Chang'an's nine cities for the prince's family order, Chao Cuo."

"It is precisely because of this that His Majesty was able to right Zhang Ou from Ting Wei Supervisor to Ting Wei immediately after he ascended the throne, and appointed Chao Cuo as internal history."

"And that year—the year when the late emperor granted His Majesty the appointment of Zhang Ou as a court officer, it was also the year when the late emperor fell ill..."

Hearing what Zhou Yafu said, Liu Sheng finally understood the deep meaning of Zhou Yafu's words, and his expression sank subconsciously.

Zhou Yafu was right.

Starting from Tingwei to start the transfer of power can indeed be regarded as the "tradition" of the Han family - at least the "precedent" that Tian Ziqi has experienced today.

Just as Zhou Yafu said: According to the precedent of Prince Qi, the emperor allowed the prince to intervene in the court, which also seemed to mean the official start of the transfer of power.

And this is exactly what Liu Sheng is worried about recently...

"Ugh······"

"I don't know what will happen in the next few years..."

"May everything go well and the world be at peace;"

"Inside and outside the court and the field, don't make any more twists and turns..."

This is not Liu Sheng's alarmist talk.

It is said that when today's Ziqi, when the first emperor was seriously ill and lying on the couch, and his own prince supervised the country, he provoked the first emperor's wrath several times!
Although in the end, the anger of the first emperor did not lead to the interruption of the transfer of power, it did cause turmoil in the court of Chang'an.

One of the most representative ones is that the late emperor had sores on his back that were so painful that he couldn't bear it, so he asked someone to see it;

As a result, the doctors were helpless, Deng Tong, the late emperor's most beloved valet, went up and lay on the late emperor's back without saying a word, and started sucking violently, sucking out most of the abscess!

When the pain was relieved, the late emperor saw Deng Tong's overjoyed posture, and naturally his heart warmed;
He felt tempted again, so he called the then prince Qi to come, and asked him to follow Deng Tong's example and suck the sore pus on his back.

As a result, Prince Qi suppressed his nausea and reluctantly sipped his mouth. Before he could inhale, he vomited up the entire back of the late emperor...
"How gentle, kind, benevolent and righteous is the late emperor, yet made the father and emperor at that time tremble like walking on thin ice;"

"Father has such a vicious temper, and he doesn't know what the future will be..."

"Ugh······"

"In the next few years, I'm afraid I will suffer..."
