I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 333 Ting Weiqing with Sharp Writing

"Zhao Tingwei, are you all right?"

Almost at the moment when Zhao Yu walked into Jiaguan, Zhou Yafu's angry and resentful 'greeting' voice resounded over the entire Jiaguan.

But in the chief seat above, seeing Zhou Yafu's appearance of exploding at the touch of a button, Liu Sheng only found it funny for a while.

——For the grievances between Zhou Yafu and Zhao Yu, Liu Sheng's bad taste is quite sufficient.

Not to mention anything else: the prime minister treats his subordinates with courtesy, and generously distributes power and arranges training opportunities for them, which can be described as half of the "graciousness of knowledge and encounter";
As a result, the prime minister was in trouble, and the former subordinate became the chief judge. Without saying a word, he gave the benefactor a "not rebelling on the ground, but going underground to rebel, right?" 'Big hat.

If the benefactor who had been a prime minister died, the story would not be interesting;

But this benefactor survived!
Not only did he survive, but he was put to death and reborn. When he arrived in the womb of the crown prince, he became the prince Shaobao who specially taught military knowledge to the crown prince!

Then when the emperor was seriously ill, he said to the crown prince he had personally registered: You can start handing over the power of the court from the court captain;
Then, this 'ungrateful person' who has become a Tingwei, met his old boss again in the uterus...

Let’s just say this script, where is it not enough to explode?
——In the Explosion Realm, I am afraid that it is also a very explosive existence!

As the prince and heir, Liu Sheng sat back and watched this situation happen, and even contributed to the flames, and specially dragged Zhou Yafu to summon Zhao Yu together, and it was not out of pure evil intentions.

According to the intentions revealed by Tian Ziqi, as well as past precedents, Zhou Yafu's analysis, etc., Liu Sheng's main energy in the next few years will probably be on dealing with Ting Wei.

Since he wanted to deal with Ting Wei, Liu Sheng naturally had to figure out what kind of person Ting Wei Zhao Yu was.

Is it really ungrateful, an ambitious man who wants to step on his benefactor to climb up?

Or is he just like Zhang Shizhi in the past, or Shen Tujia, the deceased old prime minister, just a gentleman who does not show favoritism and enforces the law impartially?

Today, Liu Sheng will use this meeting—a meeting with Zhou Yafu and Zhao Yu as the protagonists, and Liu Sheng as a spectator for the time being—to determine which of the two situations Zhao Yu is in.

This is not only related to what attitude and strategy Liu Sheng will adopt in the next few years to deal with the high-frequency contact between himself and Tingwei;

It is also related to the future, whether Tian Zisheng will choose Zhao Yu as another "Zhang Shizhi" to strengthen the rule of law in the Han Dynasty...

"Ting Wei, don't look at Gu like that;"

"Guben doesn't want to do this, it's Tiaohou's repeated demands, and Guben really can't resist it."

"It's not like Tingwei doesn't know how stubborn Tiaohou is..."

Saying this, Liu Sheng shrugged his shoulders with a little disregard for his image, and put on a posture of "you talk about yours, don't worry about me", making it clear that he just wanted to watch the excitement until the end.

Not far from Liu Sheng's side, Zhou Yafu looked at Zhao Yu with an increasingly gloomy gaze.

Seeing Liu Sheng's attitude of a "joyable person", Zhao Yu thought about it for a while, and then roughly understood Liu Sheng's intention;
Turning his eyes to Zhou Yafu slightly to the left, he saw Zhou Yafu's dark face, clenched teeth, his beard and beard trembling slightly, Zhao Yu suddenly felt that one head was two big.

Before coming, Zhao Yu really thought about it for a long time;
But what Zhao Yu thought about was: in case he ran into Zhou Yafu by chance in the uterus, or was blocked by Zhou Yafu halfway, how should he respond and how to get out.

But Zhao Yu never expected that there would be an extra bystander when he and Zhou Yafu met again.

In particular, this bystander is still the current crown prince and heir. In the next few years, he will use extremely high concentration to 'guidance' Liu Sheng in the Tingwei's subordinate office...
With a bit of distress, he forced out a miserable smile that was uglier than crying, then shook his head in self-pity, and let out a long breath of foul air;
Mustering up his courage, Zhao Yu finally straightened his back and bowed slowly to Zhou Yafu.

"Tingwei Zhao Yu, I met Zhou Shaobao."

Zhou Shaobao.

Not Tiaohou, but Zhou Shaobao.

Just this one word made the smell of gunpowder in the hall even more intense, and it also made Liu Sheng, who was waiting to watch the excitement full of interest, show more of a nature that watching the excitement is not a big deal.

Liu Sheng could hear the deep meaning in Zhao Yu's words, and Zhou Yafu knew it immediately;
He hated Zhao Yu so much, and when he heard Zhao Yu's provocative 'Zhou Shaobao', Zhou Yafu's hands, which were originally clenched into empty fists, turned into solid fists the size of sandbags in an instant.

What does Zhao Yu mean by saying 'Zhou Shaobao'?
What did Zhao Yu want to remind Zhou Yafu through the sound of 'Zhou Shaobao'?
--Hey!Wake up!
——Don’t forget how you got it, Young Bao!
——I was watching everything that happened at that time!
"Hey!"

"I have heard for a long time that Zhao Tingwei is selfless, does not show favoritism, and even ignores the pleas of relatives and township party members. It is completely the same as the old Anzhen Wuhou!"

"When I see you today, you will know that the rumors are true;"

"Even Zhao Tingwei, the benefactor who once supported me, didn't think otherwise at all?"

"install?"

Originally born in the army, and with the straightforward and violent temper inherited from his ancestors, Zhou Yafu was naturally not at all afraid of Zhao Yu's soft provocation of "Zhou Shaobao", and turned back without hesitation.

——You still have the nerve to call me 'Zhou Shaobao'?
——If it weren't for me, "Zhou Shaobao", how could you, Zhao Yu, be in the rank of Jiuqing today, and be in charge of the court lieutenant?

The tit-for-tat attitude of the two sides, which you come and go, naturally makes the atmosphere in the hall completely heated;

But what happened next——Zhao Yu's next reaction was really beyond Liu Sheng's expectations.

Liu Sheng knew that Zhao Yu was an upright official, and he also knew that Zhao Yu called himself a "lonely minister";
But Liu Sheng never expected: Zhao Yu, who was born as a royal censor, and Ting Weiqing, who climbed up to the position of Jiuqing step by step by relying solely on the path of civil servants, would actually be in Zhou Yafu, who has been baptized by war and has been ups and downs for many years. In front of the old minister, there is still such a strong character...
"We don't actually have a deep relationship with Zhou Shaobao."

"—In the past in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhou Shaobao didn't intend to decentralize and cultivate power, but just because he didn't want to govern, so he put all the burdens of the Prime Minister's Mansion on all the officials in the Prime Minister's Mansion, including me."

"In order to deal with those government affairs that should be handled by Zhou Shaobao, or even can only be handled by Zhou Shaobao, the officials in the entire prime minister's mansion are so busy that they wish they could have four arms, eight legs, and sixteen heads."

"It is true that during the time when I was an official in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I—all the officials including me, made great progress in handling government affairs."

"But I hope Zhou Shaobao will not forget: our progress is not cultivated by Zhou Shaobao intentionally, but is forced by Zhou Shaobao's laziness."

"Progress is the result of my time as an official in the Prime Minister's Mansion;"

"Sorrow, fatigue, and even daring to speak out are the process of that experience."

"For the sake of suffering and suffering, and finally getting rewarded, and the face of the late Jiang Wuhou, I don't need to remember Zhou Shaobao's grudge."

"But if Zhou Shaobao is still dissatisfied and doesn't know himself, and wants me, Zhao Yu, to be grateful to Zhou Shaobao because of that experience, then I have something to say, I'd better ask Zhou Shaobao."

"—Before taking a break yesterday, how much did Zhou Shaobao drink to become so drunk?"

Looking at Zhou Yafu's man-eating eyes without fear, Zhao Yu eloquently said a long series of expressions, and Zhao Yu only looked righteous and awe-inspiring;

It was as if at this moment, it was not Zhao Yu, the Tingwei, who was talking to his past "benefactor" Zhou Yafu under the watchful eye of Liu Sheng, the crown prince, but Zhao Yu, Bao Qingtian, under the witness of Liu Sheng, a passer-by, The crime of Zhou Yafu, a "rebellious minister and thief", is being tried.

After finishing his statement, Zhao Yu deliberately stopped for a moment, and looked at Zhou Yafu's frightened and angry face without squinting;

When Zhou Yafu finally recovered from the shock, he took a deep breath, and was about to say something, even growl, when Zhao Yu continued the conversation in a timely manner, which made Zhou Yafu lose most of his anger in an instant.

"Besides, Zhou Shaobao was imprisoned for a crime, and I happened to be the one to interrogate Zhou Shaobao."

"Dare to ask Zhou Shaobao: Is there anything wrong during this period?"

"——I, as a court lieutenant, and under His Majesty's order, can't I still interrogate Zhou Shaobao?"

"Even if he is a court lieutenant and holds the emperor's edict, the 'Prime Minister Shi Zhao Yu' in Zhou Shaobao's eyes is still not worthy of interrogating Zhou Shaobao?"

···
"Zhou Shaobao was convicted of being a court officer. I am interrogating Zhou Shaobao as a court officer. I am afraid there is nothing wrong with it."

"At the prime minister's mansion back then, everyone praised the prime minister, Zhao Yu, for being honest and fair. Only Zhou Shaobao was suspicious again and again, and said to the people around him: I know Zhao Yu very well, but he enforces the law severely and harshly, and he cannot Belonging to the Yamen is an official."

"Whether what Zhou Shaobao said makes sense, I don't know."

"But since Zhou Shaobao said and thought so, then what's wrong with me being stricter when interrogating Zhou Shaobao?"

Another heavy firepower output made Zhou Yafu's face completely flushed, his cheeks twitched and trembled with anger, but he couldn't attack because of Liu Sheng's presence.

That is, during Zhou Yafu's 'unable to attack' gap, Zhao Yu finally completed the fatal blow.

"If Zhou Shaobao can't listen to these words, then I will be bold and say a few words that shouldn't be said in front of the prince."

"—Didn't Zhou Shaobao know that at that time, he wasn't accused by His Majesty's court lieutenant for hiding armor?"

"—Don't you know that it is not my Tingwei Zhao Yu who wants Zhou Shaobao to die?"

"Because I was interrogated and humiliated by Ting Wei, Zhou Shaobao held a grudge against me, Zhao Yu, and wished he could get rid of it quickly;"

"But Zhou Shaobao never thought about it: the situation at that time, there is no difference between me, Zhao Yu or not?"

After completing the fatal blow that hit the bull's-eye, Zhao Yu bowed to Zhou Yafu again.

It's just that this obeisance, Zhao Yu completely lost the only trace of humility towards Zhou Yafu before.

"To Zhou Shaobao, that's all I have to say."

"I, Zhao Yu, claim to be a lone minister, and I am also in charge of court lieutenants and prisons. I have always been unwilling to have personal relationships with others."

"No matter how Zhou Shaobao thinks of me, Zhao Yu, it makes no difference to me."

"—From now on, whether it is Zhou Shaobao or Tiaohou, to me, Zhao Yu, they are just 'a certain colleague in the court'."

"Besides Ting Wei, even if I see Zhou Shaobao, I will not stop to greet him;"

"Within Tingwei, if I see Zhou Shaobao again, I will still enforce the law impartially and never bend the law for personal reasons."

After saying that, Zhao Yu finally looked away from Zhou Yafu;

With just this shift, Zhao Yu's gaze never fell on Zhou Yafu again.

Facing the head of state, Zhao Yu bowed and bowed to Liu Sheng with a stern look, and Zhao Yu returned to his usual indifferent appearance of not being surprised by honor or disgrace.

"I don't know what your Highness did today when he summoned his ministers?"

"If there is nothing else, I will leave now."

Without any hesitation, he said 'resign now', not to mention Zhou Yafu, even Liu Sheng, who was busy watching the fun, was stunned by Zhao Yu.

After a while, Liu Sheng coughed dryly, smiled stiffly, and changed his status from 'happy person' to 'Prince Sheng'.

"It's a matter of course."

"Father, didn't you summon Ting Wei alone for this?"

Asking knowingly, in exchange for Zhao Yu's "never" without joy or sadness, Liu Shengfang explained to Zhao Yu roughly the regulations for the next few years according to the prepared draft.

"Father is seriously ill, and wants to let lonely father govern;"

"I was also worried that the young and frivolous Gu would accidentally destroy the great government of the country, so I asked Gu to discuss it with the Tingwei."

"——In the next few years, I'm afraid Gu will have to bother Ting Wei a lot, so as to ask for advice on how to govern the country."

"I don't know Ting Wei, what do you think?"

Although he said, "In the next few years, I will learn how to govern the country from you in Tingwei", but Liu Sheng still puts on the airs of the prince and prince, obviously he has other intentions;
Seeing Liu Sheng's appearance, and recalling the rumors circulating in the streets and alleys of Chang'an in recent days, and even being banned in the palace, Zhao Yu immediately understood.

Immediately, he bowed to Liu Sheng again without thinking: "That is to say, your Majesty has an order, and the minister will bow his head and bow his head. It's just a hundred obeisances."

So far, the first "private meeting" between Liu Sheng and Zhao Yu has come to an end.

After the conversation, Zhao Yu's mind was almost full of Tian Ziqi's physical condition, as well as the latest "clues" inside and outside the court.

And in Liu Sheng's mind, a comment gradually emerged.

"Zhao Yuchu is the censor..."

"——Zhao Yuchu, with the ability of 'sharp writing' as the censor..."

"Hey······"

"There is nothing worthless under the fame..."

"Facing the pen, even Zhou Yafu, can only be blush, and lost his words..."

Thinking like this, Liu Sheng finally got up from the head seat with a weird smile.

Just about to say euphemistically, "There is nothing else, you can go back", but seeing Zhao Yu thinking again and again, he suddenly gave Liu Sheng another hand.

"Sir, be bold."

"I would like to recommend someone to His Highness."
