I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 338 These Two Can Be Generals, Not Handsome
Empress Dowager Dou originally thought: "There will be no more King Liang serving the Queen Mother" in the mouth of Liang Wang Liu Wu, which means that in the future, Liang Wang and Liu Wu will not come to Chang'an again;

But everything that happened afterwards was far beyond Queen Mother Dou's expectation.

——Just like every time I came to Chang'an in the past, when the one-month "period of pilgrimage" expired, and public opinion began to appear in the court and the public that "invite the king of Liang to return to the country", Liu Wu, the king of Liang, once again applied to Tian Ziqi, wanting to stay in Chang'an a period of time.

But it was different from every time in the past: this time, Tianzi Qi firmly rejected Liu Wu's application.

Everything seems to have changed.

In the past, when Liang Wang Liu Wu asked to stay in Chang'an for a longer period of time, most of them would do everything they could;

This time, he neither asked his mother, Queen Mother Dou, nor asked his sister Liu whoring for help, but turned to Emperor Qi full of distress.

In the past, when faced with Liang Wang Liu Wu's application of "asking to stay for a longer period of time", Tianzi Qi often gritted his teeth with hatred, but finally had no choice but to agree;
But this time, after resolutely refusing, Tianzi Qi appeared in Beique full of regret, and watched Liang Wang Liu Wu's car drive out from the east gate of Chang'an City.

For a moment, Tianzi Qi was finally no longer just Tianzi Qi, but had an extra identity and sense of responsibility as a 'brother'.

But it's only for a moment...
After returning to Suiyang, Liang Wang Liu Wu still followed the rhythm of life in the past few years, hunting in Liangyuan every day, feasting guests in the palace every night, and never forgetting to sing and sing every night.

After doing this for three to five months, Liang Wang Liu Wu, who was hollowed out by the speed of wine and light, finally fell ill in the summer of the eighth year of Emperor Qi Xinyuan.

When the news reached Chang'an, Liang Wang Liu Wu, who was far away in Suiyang, the capital of Liang, also came to the end of his life without warning.

——Liu Wu, king of Liang, died.

Regarding the cause of Liu Wu's death, everyone in the world is silent, and it can even be said to be secretive.

After getting the exact news, Empress Dowager Dou felt that the sky was falling, so she called Tianzi Qi full of anger, and roared again: The emperor kills my son!

But in the Weiyang Palace Xuanshi Hall, Tianzi Qi did not feel sad because of the suspicion of his mother, Empress Dowager Dou, as usual.

In the autumn of the eighth year of Qixinyuan, the son of heaven, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, said: filial piety;

In the later autumn, the Empress Dowager Dou of the Eastern Palace issued a decree: Liang Xiao Wang Wu, help the building to fall, turn the tide from the collapse, and contribute to the reconstruction of the Han family community!
Order bestowed with golden thread and jade clothes, yellow sausage inscriptions, a number of lamps and utensils, and countless bamboo slips, cloth, figurines, and gold;

Xu Yi buried it in the Son of Heaven.

In the winter and October of the ninth year of the Xinyuan Dynasty, Dachaoyi passed the third reading: Tweet Liang Guo.

Liu Mai, Prince of Liang, is the throne of Liang;
The second son Liu Ming is the king of Jichuan;

The third son Liu Pengli is the king of Jidong;
The fourth son, Liu, was designated as the king of Shanyang;

The fifth son Liu did not know that he was the king of Jiyin.

The five women all eat soup and muyi;
Therefore, the Li family, Queen of Liang, is the Queen Mother of Liang.

In this way, Liang Guo, the number one hero who put an end to the Wu-Chu Rebellion, also became the first piece of meat under Jia Yi's Tuen En policy.

This also unreservedly showed Chang'an Chaotang's determination to extend favor to the princes of the Guandong to the people of the world.

——Even the siblings of Tian Ziqi, Liang Guo, who has made great contributions to the ancestral temple and the country, can't escape being "tweeted";
If the other clan princes want to resist the favor of the Chang'an court, I am afraid they will have to weigh it.

Weighing the relationship between myself and Tianzi Qi, whether there is a brother who has passed away: Liang Xiaowang Liu Wu is close;

For my contribution to the ancestral temple and the country, is there the number one hero who put down the rebellion between Wu and Chu: Liang Xiaowang Liu Wuda.

At this point, the death of Liang Wang Liu Wu came to an end, and the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace became more and more taciturn.

Almost all obstacles were removed by Emperor Qi, and even Queen Mother Dou willingly locked herself in Changle Palace because of the death of King Liu Wu of Liang.

Liu Sheng originally thought that this series of changes would save him a lot of trouble in his career as the supervising prince.

But as time goes by, Liu Sheng's heart is increasingly filled with a thought that is difficult for the world to understand...
·
"Is the emperor made by humans?"

A view of the uterus.

Sitting upright in the head seat, looking at the mountain of memorials and bamboo slips in front of him, Liu Sheng frowned habitually;
After a while, I remembered my mother Empress Jia's entreaty to 'don't frown all the time', and reached out to smooth the frowning brows.

It's just that as far as the eyes can see, there are endless bamboo slips, which only made Liu Sheng upset for a while, so he simply stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall with great strides.

"Whoo~"

"This is just the prince of the prison country, and he has made people tired like this;"

"If you really want to be the emperor, what's the deal?"

"——Just this crap, what is there to grab?"

"Don't put your head on the belt of your trousers, desperately trying to exterminate your family, just to find guilt?"

"There is a problem with the brain..."

Listening to Liu Sheng's endless complaints, Xia Que on the side could only laugh and laugh for a while, but dared not laugh out loud.

During this period of time, Xia Que may understand everything Liu Sheng experienced better than Liu Sheng himself.

From the day in the middle of last year, when the Emperor Qi issued an edict without warning, saying that he was "old and weak, unable to face the court, and the crown prince is in charge of the country", Liu Sheng has hardly slept even a solid sleep.

Speaking of which, Liu Sheng, the prince of the supervisory country, did something very interesting.

In the past, all the memorials that should be checked and approved by Emperor Qi in person will now be sent to the uterus without exception, and will be handled by the prince of the country, Liu Sheng;

But the 'disposition' here is quite different from that of Tianzi Qi in the past.

——Liu Sheng, he has no decision-making power at all.

Take a very specific example.

There is a memorial, saying that a county in Guanzhong wants to apply for clearing channels, and the court needs to approve the local labor service and allocate a certain amount of money;

When the memorial was sent to Liu Sheng, Liu Sheng had to check first: whether this channel existed;

Is it really necessary to clean it up?
Clearing up whether labor is really required;
The local financial situation, whether central appropriation is really needed;
And: the financial situation of the central treasury, whether it supports the appropriation of funds for this project;

Whether the importance and urgency of this project is greater than the financial pressure of the central treasury of the court.

To figure out these things, Liu Sheng needs to take a roll of blank bamboo slips and write such a report.

——I have checked, there is really such a canal in this place, and the proof is that so-and-so and so-and-so (one courtier above a thousand stones, one from the local county government, and three county magistrates in the surrounding area);
It is indeed necessary to clean up this canal, and the proof is that someone (Caifeng Yushi) (Caifeng Yushi) (Caifeng report is attached);

How many people need to be conscripted to clean up this canal is the unanimous opinion of the Shaofu/Xiangfu and me;
The local financial situation is indeed so difficult that it needs appropriation from the imperial court. The evidence is the tax book submitted by the locality (the original copy is attached);
The financial situation of the central government of the court this year is as follows: How much spare money is in the treasury of the Prime Minister's Mansion (the prime minister's seal), how much money and food materials are available in the Shaofu's funds (the Shaofu's seal);
The urgency of this project and the financial pressure of the court treasury are more important. The son-in-law consulted with XX (at least one person from Jiuqing, and at least one person above Qianshi from the counterpart office), and finally came to a conclusion: the treasury can afford the cost of this project.

Finally, at the end, Liu Sheng would like to follow up: the situation is such a situation, how to deal with this matter, please let the emperor decide.

After finishing such a report, put the report in the middle of the original memorial and roll it up. This is Liu Sheng's "finished" memorial;
As for the final approval, it is none of Liu Sheng's business - the right to decide is still completely in the hands of Tian Ziqi.

After understanding such a set of procedures, it is not difficult to understand what kind of existence Liu Sheng, the prince of the supervisory country, is.

——For government affairs, Liu Sheng does not have the right to directly dispose of them, but only has the right to make suggestions to the emperor;

To put it bluntly, Liu Sheng had no way to make a decision on the government affairs that he got. He could only give Tian Ziqi the solution he thought was the best according to the situation, and then Tian Ziqi would decide whether to accept Liu Sheng's suggestion.

If it is adopted, the emperor Qihui will say the last sentence during the court meeting: The prince's method is good, so let's do it according to the prince's instructions.

If it is not adopted, someone will be sent to tell Liu Sheng in private: what is wrong with your plan, what is wrong with it, you should consider more factors;
At the end, I have to tell Liu Sheng: I finally decided to do this, you should think about why I did this, and make a report and send it to me...
"Annoying~~~~na~~~~~~~"

"Isn't that the secretary's job?"

"With tens of millions of people in the world, I'm the only secretary missing???"

Thinking of what happened to him in the past, Liu Sheng complained again, wishing he could put down the pick on the spot.

And not far away, Zhou Yafu, who was busy testing the results of Cheng Bushi and Zhidu, couldn't help but let out a burst of hearty laughter when he heard Liu Sheng's usual complaints.

"The family is starting to complain again?"

"A few days ago, during the court meeting, did you say that your majesty is training your family in front of the court ministers?"

"Why didn't you work hard for a few days, and started cursing again???"

Sensing Zhou Yafu's ridicule, Liu Sheng suddenly felt out of breath;

But there was no point of rebuttal, so he simply cast a sinister glance at Zhou Yafu, and walked forward angrily.

Annoyed and angry, when he saw Cheng Bushi and Zhidu kneeling next to each other, with brushes in their hands hanging in mid-air, and bowing their heads in meditation on the bamboo slips in front of them, Liu Sheng still did not forget to lighten his footsteps. The chattering also stopped abruptly.

"Test again?"

"Is it useful to test these every day?"

Lowering his voice and making a soft inquiry, Liu Sheng turned sideways with a little doubt;
But Zhou Yafu shook his head with a smile that was not a smile, and then stepped aside, and made a 'please' gesture to the outside of the pavilion where Cheng Bushi and Zhidu were.

After Liu Sheng was invited out of the gazebo, came to a stone table more than ten steps away from the gazebo, and sat down on the stone bench, Zhou Yafu smiled and nodded to Liu Sheng.

"Whether the school exam is useful or not, the family should be very clear."

"—Let's just say that in the past year or so, the family said that the prince supervised the country, but in fact, they just took every memorial presented to His Majesty as their own examination questions."

"At the beginning, almost all the examination papers at home were thrown out of the announcement room by His Majesty in a rage;"

"Later, fewer and fewer memorials were thrown out of the palace by His Majesty. Even if they were dissatisfied, His Majesty mostly taught them patiently."

"Until now..."

·
"Huh? Xiaque;"

"Have you ever asked the eunuch Ling, how many days has it been since His Majesty left the palace without submitting the memorial from the family?"

In the middle of speaking, Zhou Yafu only frowned slightly, and looked at Ling Xiaque, who belonged to CRRC next to Liu Sheng;

Seeing Xia Que hurriedly bowed: "The 27th..."

As he said that, Xia Que did not forget to glance sideways, carefully observing the changes in Liu Sheng's expression.

On the opposite side of Liu Sheng, Zhou Yafu only nodded slowly when he heard the number '27', and let out a long sigh.

"Back then, the first emperor was seriously ill and lay on the couch, and His Majesty supervised the country as the prince."

"——Your Majesty, when the crown prince supervised the country, it was no different from the current family: reviewing the memorandum, but not giving a reply, only giving advice on how to deal with it, and handing it over to the late emperor for decision."

"And when His Majesty the crown prince was in charge of the country, the longest period of time before the late emperor was furious and threw the memorial off the imperial steps..."

"Remember, it should be more than ten days?"

Saying that, Zhou Yafu shifted his eyes to the pavilion not far away, looked at Cheng Bushi and Zhidu who were bowing their heads in front of the case, and sighed again with a smile.

"Everyone in the world says that in the first battle between Qin and Zhao Changping, Ma Fujun and Zhao Kuo just talked about fighting on paper, which ruined the last elite of Zhao State, and even the fate of the country."

"But as long as he is a warrior—a general who is proficient in battle formations, he won't say that it was Ma Fuzi who caused the result of the battle between Qin and Zhao Changping."

·
"In Yichen's opinion, Ma Fuzi may not be as talented as Lian Po, but at least he is a man who knows how to fight and knows how to fight."

"Especially after Zhao's army ran out of food, Ma Fuzi supported hundreds of thousands of troops suffering from hunger and cold for another full 47 days with his own strength."

"Just this ability to stabilize the morale of the army and command the army alone makes me feel ashamed..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yafu stopped talking at the right time, leaving enough room for Liu Sheng to imagine.

As for the deep meaning in Zhou Yafu's words, Liu Sheng couldn't fail to hear it.

"Hi······"

"Don't worry, Tiaohou."

"Of course I understand father's good intentions and earnest teachings, and I will also remember them in my heart."

"It's just that I'm really unhappy..."

"—hahahahahaha!"

When Liu Sheng said that he was 'not happy', Zhou Yafu seemed to feel very happy;

A burst of ridicule caused Liu Sheng's complexion to turn dark gradually, and Zhou Yafu stopped laughing unsatisfactorily.

It was only at this time that the topic of the monarch and ministers, teachers and students, was on the right track.

"how?"

"According to Marquis Tiao's opinion, among these two, is there anyone who can inherit Marquis Tiao's mantle?"

As he said that, Liu Sheng did not forget to raise his eyebrows slightly towards the pavilion not far away;
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yafu's complexion suddenly sank at this light word, and he looked at Liu Sheng with unprecedented severity.

"The minister dares to speak out."

"—Cheng doesn't know, he can only be a general, not a handsome man."

"And you can only be the rear army, not the left or right side army, and definitely not the vanguard!"

···
"As far as Zhidu, the talent is still good, but it has been a long time since I left the battle, and I have been in the court for many years."

"—to be handsome, but not enough talent;"

"—As a general, you can be a vanguard, or you can be stationed in the army."

···
"These two are already the most likely to show 'handsome talent' among the people I can think of in my Han family;"

"But over the past year or so, the upper limit of these two people has been clearly seen in front of the minister."

"With these two people in charge of an army, if it does not exceed 5 people, they should be able to achieve relatively good results in a local war."

"Cheng Bushi can guarantee that the army will not suffer a big defeat, and Zhidu can guarantee that the army will gain something—more or less, there will always be gains;"

"But if it comes to the decisive battle between the Han and the Hungarians, it must be hundreds of thousands against hundreds of thousands, and it is a huge army with both infantry and cavalry."

"Judging from the current situation, Zhidu and Cheng Buzhi probably don't have the ability to command such an army, and they probably won't have it in the future."

···
"Sir, just say it straight."

"The coach of the Han-Hungarian decisive battle, my family, maybe I need to find another candidate..."
