I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 347 Emperor, you did a good job

"What does the emperor think?"

"From the reactions of the courtiers today, what did the emperor see?"

Sitting on the imperial chariot returning to Changle Palace, she asked Liu Shengru who was sitting in front of her. Before Liu Sheng could answer, Empress Dowager Dou fumbled and stretched out her hand, and grabbed the hand of Empress Dowager Jia beside her.

"The empress dowager remembers and learns what the emperor told me;"

"I'm old too..."

"My husband and son are gone. Maybe one day, I will close my eyes too. The Han family will fall on the empress dowager's shoulders."

"Emperor Daxing Xiaojing once told me to bring the Queen Mother with me and teach her more."

"Right now, it's time for the Empress Dowager to study..."

Empress Dowager Dou said in a warm voice, Empress Dowager Jia nodded her head again and again, and hurriedly gathered all her energy to focus on her eyes.

Empress Dowager Jia is very clear: she may not be able to understand all the conversations between Empress Dowager Dou and Liu Sheng;

But for a similar situation, Liu Sheng had already given the Queen Mother Jia an excellent suggestion.

——Whether you understand it or not, write it down and keep it in your heart.

When you have nothing to do in private, no matter how much you think about it, you can always figure out something.

Empress Dowager Dou sent out a question, Empress Dowager Jia also put on a posture of "listening carefully to the class", and Liu Shengzi had already organized her speech.

After going through it again in my mind, I was sure that there was nothing wrong, and then I gave an answer to Queen Mother Dou's question.

"Gongqing's reaction generally did not exceed my grandson's expectations."

"—Neishi, as the head of the Nine Ministers, is in charge of almost everything in Guanzhong, including lieutenants, thieves, and fields, household registration, taxation and other matters in the entire Guanzhong."

"This makes the person who is in charge of internal history must be a practical person."

"And among the jurisdictions of Internal History, the most important thing is Chang'an City."

"There are a lot of rumors in the market: if you throw three yuan from Beique, you will definitely hit a Chehou, a two thousand stone, and a nephew of a noble relative."

"At the foot of the imperial city, there are princes, nobles, ministers and relatives everywhere, which makes Neishi must be a person who is extremely principled, and must be convinced and respected by the court and the public."

"Uncle Tian, ​​Tian Ziqing, is obviously a qualified internal historian."

"Since it is a qualified internal history, it is impossible to agree to grandson's reckless behavior and build a temple for Emperor Daxing..."

As soon as Liu Sheng finished speaking, Empress Dowager Dou nodded slowly with no expression on her face;
After a while, he sighed softly again, and raised his head slightly again.

"Yes, and neither."

"—As an internal historian, Uncle Tian should of course abide by the principles and prevent all things that are not in line with common sense, common sense, and contrary to the laws of the country."

"But it is precisely because Tian Ziqing wants to manage Chang'an, and even the entire Guanzhong, that makes him have to be loyal to the emperor."

"If not, a person who only knows how to abide by the principles but does not know the internal history of being loyal to the emperor is likely to become a hidden danger to the ancestral temple and the community."

···
"Today, Tian Ziqing should have kept silent like Zong Zheng, neither opposed nor supported."

"Because the responsibility of the internal historian requires him to abide by the principles and also requires him to be loyal to the emperor."

"—But Tian Ziqing, in the end, only chose to abide by the principles, and neglected, or forgot to be loyal to the emperor."

"Perhaps because the emperor was young, Tian Ziqing made such a decision subconsciously."

"But as the son of heaven, the emperor cannot be too tolerant—especially not too tolerant of internal history."

"Find a chance and beat Uncle Tian."

"It doesn't necessarily require a heavy punishment, but it must be known inside and outside the court: Tian Ziqing's actions have made the emperor very dissatisfied;"

"If there is a next time, Tian Ziqing's position in internal history will definitely be replaced..."

After the Empress Dowager Dou finished speaking, Liu Sheng, who knelt in front of the Empress Dowager Dou, bowed respectfully: "Grandson, I would like to follow the teachings of the imperial grandmother..."

After a while, Mother Dou nodded slightly, Liu Sheng pondered for a moment, and then continued: "After the internal history, there is the Shaofu."

"—Shaofu's reaction is considered the most confident of my grandson's earlier."

"Because Shaofu's father was originally a member of the Xiang clan, and it was Emperor Gao, the great ancestor, who gave Liu the surname and the title of Marquis Tao regardless of previous suspicions;"

"Afterwards, Emperor Xiaohui, Empress Dowager Lu, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, and Emperor Daxing Xiaojing all loved Taohou and his son very much."

"So no matter what, Marquis Tao will unconditionally obey the will of my Son of Heaven Liu, and will not care about the opinions of the court and the public."

"Because I, Mrs. Liu, have been kind to Marquis Tao;"

"Inside and outside the court and the public, most of them despise Tao'an Marquis Liu Xiang for abandoning his people and joining the tent of Emperor Taizu Gao..."

This time, Mrs. Dou's expression on the back was slightly warmer, but she still maintained the dignified and solemn look before.

"Taohou, he is indeed the follower that my Emperor Liu needs to worry about the least."

"But back then, when Empress Dowager Lu passed away and Emperor Taizong Xiaowen entered the dynasty to inherit the great rule, Liu Xiang, Marquis of Tao'an, once said this sentence;"

"—Swear to be loyal to the Holy Son of Heaven, whoever is the Son of Heaven is loyal to whom..."

"Well, that's what I said. In fact, Marquis Tao'an did exactly that: Before Emperor Taizong entered the court, Marquis Tao'an was still running for the false emperor Liu Hong, but after Emperor Taizong came to the throne, he became the first Gonghou who is loyal to Emperor Taizong."

"So the emperor must be careful with Taohou."

"Only the emperor sits firmly on the throne, Taohou, is the person the emperor can trust;"

"But if the emperor is not stable on the throne, Taohou Liu She will definitely be the first person to betray the emperor after he falls from the throne."

"In other words: the Taohou family is not the emperor's loyal ministers, but the Liu family's emperor's loyal ministers."

"No matter who becomes the emperor, Taohou, he will be loyal to him..."

As soon as Empress Dowager Dou said this, Liu Sheng fell into a moment of thought.

What happened today was of course Liu Sheng's trick of 'distinguishing the enemy from us' earlier, after getting angry with Empress Dowager Dou and Empress Dowager Jia.

It's similar to a hundred years ago, Zhao Gao, the commander of Qin Zhongche, referred to a deer as a horse in Xianyang Palace, and used the method of "calling a horse a friend, and calling a deer an enemy" to distinguish supporters and opponents.

It's just that compared to Zhao Gao's point of view, Liu Sheng's "Building a Temple for the Daxing Emperor's Joy" is a little more advanced and more cryptic.

And when he made up his mind to get a temple name for the first emperor, to find out the background of the court, and to frighten the government and the public by the way, Liu Sheng had already made up his mind: let Liu She be his trustee.

——It is also for this reason that Liu Sheng was the first to call out Liu She to answer.

Because Liu Sheng is fully sure that Liu She will kneel and lick him unconditionally.

But at this moment, when Empress Dowager Dou reminded Liu Sheng 'don't be too reassured about Liu She', Liu Sheng reacted belatedly: I really seemed to have taken it for granted before;

Liu Sheng took it for granted: Liu She is loyal to the emperor, and I am the emperor, so Liu She is loyal to me.

It was not until Empress Dowager Dou reminded him that Liu Sheng realized that although Liu Sheng is the emperor now, whether he can die on the throne is really not a certainty.

If anything happens, Liu She, who kneels and licks her unconditionally now, will definitely become the first rebellious boy.

Just like the words that the first Taohou, Liu She's father, Tao'anhou Liuxiang said: Swear to be loyal to the Holy Son of Heaven, whoever is the Son of Heaven is loyal to whom...

"Grandson, remember..."

This time, Liu Sheng couldn't help showing a little solemnity on his face.

On the contrary, it was Empress Dowager Dou who heard the seriousness in Liu Sheng's words, and her expression became warmer again.

"I'm not worried about the emperor, he won't understand this truth."

"It's just that the emperor is too busy and forgets about it, so he reminded me."

"If the emperor can remember it and remember it in his heart, then nothing will go wrong..."

Liu Sheng nodded again.

After a while, he continued, "My grandson originally thought that Liu She was the one to worry about the least."

"Now I feel: Zhonglang general Zhou Ren seems to be the one who needs his grandson to worry the least?"

When Empress Dowager Dou heard the words, there was a sense of peace on her face: "Mmm~"

"Zhou Ren is honest and responsible. He knows what he should say and what he should do. He also knows whose family's salary he is receiving and whose family's favor he is receiving."

"—It's just that I'm a little older, and I don't have the ability to govern the country and the people;"

"What's more, Lang Zhongling must be the emperor's closest and most trusted confidant. Zhou Ren was the late emperor's Lang Zhongling, so naturally he couldn't be the emperor's Lang Zhongling."

"When the court situation is stable and Liu She has stepped down from the position of prime minister, let's move Zhou Ren's position."

"Weiwei, lieutenant, etc., shouldn't there be any trouble?"

The last sentence, Empress Dowager Dou said it in a questioning tone, as if she was trying to test Liu Sheng's meaning;
As for Liu Sheng's reaction, it is natural to say: If the emperor's grandmother thinks it will work, then she will definitely do it...
"There is no doubt that you are a gentleman."

"It's just that I cherish feathers too much, body and name too much;"

"—that is, Weiwei's particularity, so that Zhibuyi can be ranked among the nine ministers."

"If you change to another position, I'm afraid that someone like Zhibusu who dare not take responsibility and cares too much about his reputation won't be able to sit still..."

Speaking of straightness, Empress Dowager Dou let out a long sigh;
After thinking for a long time, he sighed again, and then shook his head to himself.

"I don't doubt that I am a gentleman, not a courtier."

"—can be trusted, but not counted on;"

"—Don't worry about him doing something unfaithful, but you can't expect him to do anything."

"Um······"

···
"Zhi Du and Cheng Bu don't know each other, aren't they listening to Zhou Yafu's class?"

"Leading the army out in the future, the qualifications of these two people are temporarily not enough to become the coach."

"——At that time, the emperor can let Zhi Buyi be handsome, and use Zhi Busu's qualifications to secure the heart of the court;"

"Then I will confess in private to Zhibusu: During the march, the opinions of Zhidu and Chengbushi are the main ones."

"Except for similar situations, there is no other useful place..."

Liu Sheng deeply agrees with Empress Dowager Dou's unquestionable evaluation of Zhizhi.

For Zhi Buyi, Liu Sheng's evaluation is: Although he does not forget his life when he sees small profits, he will cherish his life when he does great things.

To put it bluntly, this person has no fart skills, and relies on his good reputation as a "modesty gentleman" to be an official, and he has achieved the position of Jiuqing all the way.

You let him do something?
not that capable;

Let him take what responsibility?

not that courageous;
If I have to say that there is a place where I can use my undoubted 'specialty', that is Wei Wei's special position of 'never have ambitions, and it is best not to have any ability', and what Queen Mother Dou said just now: Leveraging Zhibu's qualifications, he set up a stage for young talents like Zhidu and Cheng Bushi.

And such a person, at least for the current Liu Sheng, is quite useful.

——The Lord Shaoguo doubts;

Use more people who are "no fart, but care about reputation", Liu Sheng will always have plenty of time to transition, and get through the fragile period in the early days of sitting on the throne.

Wait until the power is in your hands in the future and you can suppress the capable ones, then just change.

"Except for Uncle Tian, ​​Liu She, Zhou Ren, and Zhi Buyi, the rest of the people have nothing to say."

"—Dianke Gongsun Huanxie, the situation is similar to that of Shaofu Liushe: he was originally a Hu, and he became a courtier of our Han family because of the kindness of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen."

"The position of Dianke, Gongsun Huanxie, must want to move."

"There is no need to rush this matter, and there is no need to rush."

···
"Zongzheng Liu Biqiang is the second son of the Red Marquis Liu Fu and the grandson of King Chu Yuan, with both virtue and conduct."

"As Zongzheng, keeping silent today is the wisest and most appropriate thing to do."

"In addition, Zongzheng doesn't have much authority in the court, so Liu Biqiang and Sun Er feel that they can continue to be Zongzheng."

"After all, Liu Biqiang is already the most suitable candidate for Zongzheng..."

···
"Ting Wei, Zhao Yu, was originally not qualified enough to become a nine minister, but his father picked him up as a court officer, so he was able to be included in the nine ministers."

"In addition, he was born in the Legalist family, and like Zhidu, he calls himself a lonely minister, and he obeys his grandson, which is also expected."

"Furthermore, Zhao Yu can be regarded as a young talent left by the emperor to his grandson."

"This Tingwei, my grandson is quite satisfied..."

After evaluating the four most important people, Liu Sheng only made a rough evaluation of the next three people;
It was not as expected by Liu Sheng: Regarding these three people, Empress Dowager Dou only nodded with a lack of interest, and made a few perfunctory comments, and then skipped the topic.

But the last two remaining made Liu Sheng face a difficult situation...
"There are two people left, even if the emperor doesn't say anything, I understand in my heart."

"—Nan Pihou, as the most outstanding son of Dou's relatives at present, should have supported the emperor, but today he stood opposite the emperor."

"However, it is mainly because of the official position that Nan Pihou has to be a person who abides by the etiquette and system-obeys the 'rules'."

"When I look back, I will summon Nan Pihou alone."

"Emperor, don't think too much."

"As for the servant..."

Speaking meaningfully, Empress Dowager Dou shook her head in the direction of the front room outside the imperial chariot with a meaningful smile;

When Liu Shenghui felt overwhelmed, he smiled and bowed his hands, and the Empress Dowager Dou naturally smiled and nodded.

"Today, the emperor did a good job."

"Already got the three-point demeanor of Daxing Emperor."

"It's just such a thing, you can only do it once;"

"If you do too much, there will be complaints from inside and outside the government and the public, and loyal ministers will not dare to speak out, and the emperor will be surrounded by small and flattering people."

"—Grandson understands..."

"Hmm~"

"As long as you know······"
