I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 351 Hoo~ Guantao's parents...

After sending Zhou Ren away and sitting alone on the imperial couch in the Xuanshi Hall, Liu Sheng raised his hand subconsciously, biting the nail of his thumb involuntarily.

And Zhou Ren's voice just now, like echoes one after another, echoed in Liu Sheng's ears one wave after another.

In the early days, Liu Sheng's understanding of the Xiuyiwei was limited to: it was a product of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen's reign, and it was established by Emperor Taizong's permission for the then Prince Qi. The purpose was to protect the personal safety of Prince Qi, and Zhou Ren was the first. One instigator.

In addition, Liu Sheng basically knew nothing about this mysterious hidden guard.

But today, after Zhou Ren's simple narration, Liu Sheng finally understood: Xiuyiwei is the "precious" inheritance left by the deceased Emperor Xiaojing, Liu Sheng's father, Tianziqi.

According to Zhou Ren's narration, the original body of the Xiuyiwei was the prince's guard during the reign of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen.

Of course, Liu Sheng, who was also a prince, would not be unfamiliar with the prince’s guards—Liu Sheng once had a prince’s guard of 500 people, who were responsible for accompanying Liu Sheng when he traveled, and guarding the safety of the prince’s car.

After the death of the emperor Qi, Liu Sheng forgot most of the things in the Taiwo, intentionally or unintentionally. brought out.

But now, an interesting plan also quietly came to Liu Sheng's mind.

"Adapt the Crown Prince's Guard and merge it into the Embroidered Clothes Guard?"

"Let's build another hidden guard..."

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Sheng dismissed this immature thought.

The reason is simple: According to Zhou Ren, the embroidered guards left by Emperor Qi to Liu Sheng are all composed of orphans of heroes without exception.

In other words, every member of this hidden guard is an orphan with a clean family background.

That is to say, all the activities of the Embroidered Guards can basically eliminate the possibility of leaks due to kinship, and at the same time guarantee the absolute loyalty of this army to the Han family and the Han emperor.

And Liu Sheng's former prince's guards were carefully selected elites from the northern army, and many of them were young talents who could serve as middle-level officers in the army in the future.

To put it bluntly: Embroidered clothing guards are invisible;

The embroidered clothes messengers are also a group that has not seen the light for many years, and no one cares whether they are dead or alive.

On the other hand, Liu Sheng’s Prince’s Guard, as early as when they were soldiers of the Northern Army, had already been the focus of attention of the aristocratic group. The son-in-law of Chenglong Kuai.

Incorporating these people into the Embroidery Guards, not to mention helping Liu Sheng, it is thankful that the existence of the Embroidery Guards, a secret guard organization, cannot be exposed.

As for setting up another hidden guard with similar functions in addition to the embroidered clothes guard, Liu Sheng despises the idea even more.

——The operation mode of a certain clothing store first, and then a certain direction factory really made Liu Sheng feel disdainful.

Even if Liu Sheng is not crowned, and the current Han Patriarch is less suspicious of the country, Liu Sheng does not need to use such a way of losing his status to consolidate his authority.

Continuing to think about it, Liu Sheng also felt more and more frightened as he thought about it.

Zhou Ren said: All the clan princes in the Kanto, without exception, were brought into the strict monitoring of the Embroidery Guards.

And judging from the 11th year of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen when the Xiuyiwei was officially established, and even from the first year of Emperor Xiaojing who officially confirmed the name of "Xiuyiwei": whether it is the former or the latter, it is obvious that Liu Bi was known very early. rebellion plan.

Well, the problem is coming.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, who learned that Liu Bi was against him, why didn't he eliminate the hidden danger at the embryonic stage?

Or why didn't Emperor Liu Qi of Daxing Xiaojing use some special methods at the beginning of his ascension to eliminate the rebellion between Wu and Chu before the rebellion broke out?

"Afraid of falling into the trap?"

"still······"

As thoughts scattered, an unbelievable possibility, bamboo slips emerged in Liu Sheng's mind.

"Forced counter..."

"Even if we knew that Liu Bi was going to rebel, Emperor Taizong and Emperor Xiaojing decided to rebel against Liu Bi..."

"Confirm Liu Bi's status as a traitor, and then put down Liu Bi's status as justice, so as to block the mouths of the world..."

"What's more, it is to use Liu Bi's precedent to gain a legal basis for the subsequent reduction of feudal lords and favors—in order to prevent other clan princes from following Liu Bi's example, cutting feudal lords and extending favors has become common sense... ···”

···
"call······"

"As expected of an emperor..."

"As expected of the emperor of my Han family."

"It is also worthy of the four characters of 'Wenjing Zhizhi' written in the history books of later generations..."

Thinking like this, Liu Sheng's gaze involuntarily moved aimlessly from the royal case in front of him to every corner of the hall.

——Under the body is the imperial couch where Emperor Qi Zeng sat for more than nine years;
In front of him is the royal case of the emperor Qi who has accumulated bamboo slips over the years.

On the side of the imperial couch, the emperor's seal was specially set up for Liu Sheng to sit on his knees and answer the banquet, but it has not been put away yet.

There is a wall on the side of the hall, and the side hall that was specially reserved by the emperor for Liu Sheng to stay permanently, and to be "always accompanied by the holy driver", still retains the traces of Liu Sheng's residence...
as if nothing had changed;

But in reality, everything has changed.

Emperor Qi, went to see Emperor Taizong Xiaowen.

Prince Sheng has also become Tianzi Sheng...

"I always hear people say that when people around you die, they often don't feel too much grief;"

"True grief will be mixed with memories that will be recalled little by little in the future."

"It's like every corner of this proclamation room is the shadow of the old man."

"Sitting on this royal couch, even if you close your eyes, you can still see the face of the old man..."

Full of sighs, Liu Sheng just laughed abruptly, lowered his head, and nodded his eyes with his fingers pretending to be inadvertent.

Liu Sheng once thought that he didn't have much affection for Tianzi Qi, a biological father, that a relative should have.

Go to heaven, that is, as a Han, I feel sad for the passing of this outstanding Han emperor, and feel a little sorry for the people in the world who cannot continue to be ruled by this emperor.

But at this moment, Liu Sheng finally felt vaguely: Emperor Qi—Emperor Xiaojing Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty, this emperor who is already outstanding enough may not necessarily be a qualified father.

At least for Liu Sheng, who is the crown prince, this father has done everything he can.

——Parents love their sons, and they have far-reaching plans...

"Whoo~"

"Summer sparrow~"

"Come."

After adjusting himself for a long time, he finally suppressed his tears and longing for the old man who had passed away. Liu Sheng's eyes naturally fell on Xia Que who was playing a clay statue outside the gate of the palace.

Seeing that Xia Que got the command, like a robot that was in a dormant state and suddenly got the command, it trotted up the imperial steps and came to Liu Sheng's side.

"His Majesty······"

"—How does it feel to be an eunuch?"

Maybe he wanted to distract himself, or maybe he really wanted to chat with this confidant of Humerus. As soon as Liu Sheng opened his mouth, he asked Xia Que about his state of mind after he was "promoted".

But Liu Sheng asked casually, but Xia Que didn't dare to answer casually.

Running her brain quickly, organizing her words in a moment, Xia Que grinned slightly and bowed respectfully.

"Everyone in the palace said that this slave has been promoted to an official position and has become the most powerful position in the palace."

"But when I heard these words, I remembered the warnings given by the old eunuch Ling Chuntuo, Duke Chun."

"——Chun Gong once said: The eunuch order, the key point is not the word 'Ling' at the back, but the word 'Eunuch' in front."

"In other words, no matter what kind of official position, all palace people are nothing more than eunuchs..."

···
"Now, the slave is honored by His Majesty and has made this eunuch order."

"But I don't dare to think about it at all. I think about what I will do with this power one day."

"It is already my honor to be able to use this mutilated body to do more things for His Majesty, to make His Majesty less worried, and to repay Your Majesty's kindness."

"Other than that, slave, don't dare to be his begging again..."

The question was casual, but in exchange for Xia Que's serious reply, Liu Sheng looked at Xia Que with something intriguing.

After a long time, he just smiled and waved his hands pretending to be relaxed: "It doesn't have to be like this..."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Liu Sheng seemed to be strangled by someone, his words stopped abruptly, and he silently lowered his head.

"I, I know."

Liu Sheng originally wanted to divert his attention from missing Tian Ziqi by chatting with Xia Que.

But inadvertently, Liu Sheng remembered a warning from Emperor Qi.

——Among the countless warnings, one of the rather inconspicuous ones...

"Eunuchs are slaves;"

"For slaves, the more pleasant you are, the more you will push your nose and face."

"—Awe of power but not of morality, it was originally about the Huns;"

"But it's also suitable for these eunuchs..."

When recalling these words, Tianzi Qi's extremely magnetic and inexplicably chilling voice rang out in Liu Sheng's mind.

After a long time, Liu Sheng recovered from the stupefaction again, smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"Old man, this is entangled with me..."

"Hi, whatever."

"With the old man 'accompanying', we won't become a lonely person like the old man in the future."

"—Maybe the old man is also 'accompanied' by Emperor Taizong Xiaowen?"

Thinking so, Liu Sheng raised his hand pretending to be casual, signaling Xia Que to stand up straight.

After Xia Que straightened her waist a little symbolically, Liu Sheng asked with a smile: "Just now what Lang Zhongling said..."

"——The slave is outside the gate of the palace, and he didn't hear Lang Zhongling's voice at all."

"—Only hearing Lang Zhong's order to leave, His Majesty seemed very happy and laughed for a while?"

Seeing Xia Que pretending to be stupid and stupefied vividly, Liu Sheng gave another meaningful smile;
Looking straight into the depths of Xia Que's eyes, Xia Que bent down deeply again before turning the topic quietly.

"Lang Zhongling told me: Liu She, the young mansion, and Chao Cuo, the censor doctor, seem to be planning to be friends."

"Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing for me?"

The indifferent words only attracted Xia Que's already deeply bowed waist, and instantly bowed a little more visible to the naked eye;
Almost without any thought, he answered immediately, "Your Majesty."

"When Emperor Daxing Xiaojing was still around, His Majesty was still the crown prince."

"Your Majesty also knows the reason for the slave - after purifying himself and entering the palace, the slave has always been by the side of the old eunuch Ling Chungong."

"All the skills of this slave, especially the ability to serve His Majesty, were also taught by Mr. Chun."

"Back then, the slave obeyed the order of Emperor Daxing Xiaojing, and served by the side of His Majesty, who was still the prince at that time."

"It was at that time that Duke Chun left a last warning to the slave."

"—If you want to live a long time, don't get involved in the affairs of the government and the public..."

···
"Chun Gong said that when Ying Qin was in power, there was an eunuch named Zhao Gao who did many bad things, which eventually led to the demise of Ying Qin."

"During the time of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, there was also a favored and pampered eunuch named Zhao Tan, who rode with Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, which eventually aroused dissatisfaction both inside and outside the court."

"The Spring Announcement warns the slave: don't do things that embarrass the master, and don't forget your identity just because you are favored."

"Now, what your Majesty is asking this slave is about the Duke of Chao, especially a Sangong and a Jiuqing."

"Such a question, I dare to dare: even if it may offend His Majesty, I will never dare to answer..."

Seeing Xia Que's posture of "Your Majesty pushes her again, the slave will have to die for His Majesty's sake", and she was already sweating profusely, Liu Sheng couldn't bear to push her any more.

He lowered his head with a noncommittal smile, and finally sighed lightly.

"Recently, are there any rumors inside and outside the palace?"

Hearing that Liu Sheng finally stopped forcing himself to do things that were 'unsuitable for his status', Xia Que breathed a sigh of relief.

After thinking for a while, he told Liu Sheng the rumors and rumors that appeared in Chang'an City today.

"Emperor Xiaojing was buried in Yangling, and local tycoons in the Kanto region were also moved to Yangling. However, there are rumors that Qidi seems to have a few well-known 'heroes' who are not included in the migration list."

"Some people say that the kings of Qi are covering up these 'heroes' to oppose the court of Chang'an."

"There are also people who say that Prime Minister Tao Qing is incompetent, and even this kind of deceitful relocation list can be approved with a seal..."

···
"Emperor Xiaojing passed away, and His Majesty ordered the former emperor's sons to go to Beijing to attend the funeral. It is said that His Majesty is open-minded."

"But some people said: Your Majesty wants to take this opportunity to make things difficult, even..."

···
"Also, there are some rumors in the palace."

"The Queen lived in the Jiaofang Palace, but His Majesty never stayed in the Jiaofang Palace."

"There are rumors everywhere in the palace: If Your Majesty doesn't go to the Jiaofang, Princess Taichang will probably go to Changle to cry..."

　The title of the chapter is wrong, it should be: Huh~ Aunt Guantao...

　　There is no way to change it, so I can only mention it here.

　　Chapter garbled characters have returned to normal.
