I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

"Dou Ying, this is trying to die..."

"I can't save anyone, I have to save that man..."

"—Wu-Chu Rebellion, Guan Fu is not under Dou Ying's hands?"

"Obviously Zhou Yafu's general, why did he have a close personal relationship with Dou Ying?"

Weiyang Palace, Xuanshi Palace.

When everything that happened in Wei Qihou's mansion was sent to Tianzi Sheng's ear by Lang Zhongling Zhou Ren, Liu Sheng's sense of Dou Ying's already bad sense, only to rush towards the limit in an instant.

Who is that Guanfu?

To put it bluntly, he is a model of bottom-level counterattacks, a hero who enters and exits seven times on the battlefield, and is a passionate young man who refuses to bury his father who died in battle, and takes over his father's position to continue fighting!

To put it bluntly, it is just a reckless man who has no organization and discipline, disobeyed military orders to avenge his father, and survived by luck...

Think about the Wu-Chu Rebellion, what happened to Zhou Yafu's troops?
——Almost from the first day of arriving in Suiyang, the capital of Liang, Zhou Yafu ordered the army to garrison Changyi, and resolutely implemented a phalanx that fortified the walls and cleared the fields, refusing to fight.

In other words: Zhou Yafu's troops at that time absolutely did not allow any soldier to go out to fight for any reason.

Here comes the question: How did Guan Fu's father die in battle?
In Zhou Yafu's unit who was "never to go to war", the Taiwei Zhou Yafu was ordered to station in Changyi, and he was digging trenches all day long. Why did Guan Meng, Guan Fu's father, dig him to death?
The answer is: Guan Meng was not valued by Taiwei Zhou Yafu because of his old age, so he went out of the camp without authorization in order to "prove himself", and repeatedly went out of the camp without authorization several times, and finally ruined the lives of himself and thousands of soldiers under his command.

Immediately afterwards, even without genetic testing, it was possible to prove that Guan Fu was Guan Meng’s own son—in order to avenge the death of his father, Guan Fu also ran out of the camp without authorization to fight against Wu Chu’s rebels. Go to war.

In fact, as early as that year, when he first heard the positive heroic deeds of "the father died on the battlefield, the son took over the battle position of the father", Liu Sheng, who was still the son of the son, had already sneered at it.

What is the battlefield version of father dies son replaces?

This is simply the grassroots version of the Battle of Pingan Grad!

If it weren't for the consideration of public opinion, if it wasn't for the fact that this era does not require the army to have iron discipline, and the deeds of the father and son have indeed spread all over the country, early in those days, Emperor Xian Xiaojing would not let this pair go The wonderful father and son who almost ruined the military plan.

——Zhou Yafu was strong and cleared the country back then, but he wanted the Wu-Chu coalition army and Liang Wang Liu Wu to suffer both defeats!
In case this wonderful father and son did something shocking to the world and caused the Wu-Chu Allied Forces to retreat from Suiyang, then the post-war Liang State Army—after the baptism of war, guarded the gate of Kanto, and at the same time was protected by the Empress Dowager Donggong How should the teacher of the national tiger and wolf deal with it?
Speaking back to Guan Fu: If it’s just a chance to survive after resisting orders on the battlefield, or even become a positive example because of public opinion, then that’s fine.

For the sake of public opinion, Emperor Liu will not be stingy about creating such a positive example, using a rich man who fights desperately on the battlefield to win the hearts of the world.

If after the war ended, Guan Fu could honestly enjoy everything that the Wu-Chu Rebellion had brought him, then Emperor Liu would definitely not pay attention to this family of "Heroes of Rebellion".

But the bad thing is: this Guan Fu is not only unorganized and undisciplined in his ancestors, but also a downright bully...
"Have all the evidence of Guan Fu's crimes been investigated over the years?"

"Why did Guan Fu and Wei Qihou have such a 'very personal relationship'?"

After thinking for a long time, Liu Sheng finally just said a word indifferently, his face was so gloomy that water could drip.

Behind Liu Sheng, Lang Zhongling Zhou Ren, who heard the young emperor's question, also quickly suppressed the slight palpitations in his heart, and took out a thick stack of papers from his bosom.

"Report to His Majesty."

"According to the information obtained by Xiuyiwei, as early as the time of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, the Zhang family in Yingchuan was already a tyrant who brought disaster to the local area."

"Guanfu and Guanmeng's father and son are all surnamed Zhang, because their father Zhang Meng was a retainer of Guanying, Marquis of Yingyin, and was very favored by Marquis Yingyin. Became an official of two thousand shi."

"In order to repay Yingyinhou's great kindness, Zhang Mengcai deceived his master to destroy his ancestors, and changed his family to 'Guan' as the surname."

···
"Since Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, Guanmeng and Guanfu have had close contacts with the Yingyinhou clan, and Guanmeng regards himself as 'a loyal servant of the Yingyinhou for generations'."

"In the third year of Emperor Xiaojing's reign, when Wu and Chu rebelled, Yingyinhou Guan Hewei was appointed as a general by Emperor Xianxiaojing. He went out with Taiwei Zhou Yafu to suppress the rebellion, and Guan Meng went out as a servant of Yingyinhou."

"Recommended by Marquis Yingyin, Guan Meng was appointed as the school lieutenant by Taiwei Zhou Yafu, and Guan Fu led thousands of troops to become the vanguard of his father Guan Meng..."

After Zhou Ren talked about the family history of the Guan family, the young emperor only slightly raised his hand, interrupting Zhou Ren's upcoming long speech.

Liu Sheng didn't need Zhou Ren's detailed description of Guan Fu's family history.

What really made Liu Sheng sneer again and again was the most inconspicuous part hidden in this passage.

"Leading thousands of people..."

"Hey;"

"A mere 'Loyal Servant of the Marquis of Yingyin' can spontaneously recruit thousands of soldiers to serve as subordinates after joining the army?"

"I'm afraid even Yingyinhou himself doesn't have such a great ability?"

Seeing that Liu Sheng hit the point very accurately, Zhou Ren had no choice but to bow his head quickly, and said without the slightest emotion in his tone: "Except for the thousand people like Guan Fu, when the Wu-Chu Rebellion broke out, Marquis Yingyin brought only less than a hundred servants with him. "

"Even the military expenses for hundreds of soldiers were borrowed by Taiwei Zhou Yafu to find Chang'an Ziqian and businessman Wuyan."

"After the rebellion was put down, Zhou Yafu repaid Wuyan's [-] gold with interest. The interest alone was ten times the principal..."

Then Liu Sheng nodded, expressing that he remembered this past event.

But the young emperor's attention was still not attracted by the eleven thousand pieces of gold.

"The hundred and ten servants of the Marquis of Yingyin were equipped with armor by the Taiwei Zhou Yafu who borrowed money from usury."

"Where are the thousand people Guan Fu?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ren just bowed his head silently and didn't say another word.

At this point, the true identity of Guan Fu's family is ready to be revealed.

—— Powerful!
——Totally powerful!

——In Yingyin County, the feudal land where Yingyinhou himself can only pull up a team of a hundred people, he can directly gather thousands of soldiers!

——On the premise that Yingyinhou himself had to cry poorly to Taiwei Zhou Yafu in order to pay for the military expenses of the hundred and ten men, he could arm this thousand-man team with his own pocket!

——The powerful Yingyinhou family can only protect these black gloves, lest they be forced to move into Guanzhong!
And when such a powerful family has won the reputation of "a tiger father has no dogs" during the Wu-Chu Rebellion, and after such a heroic deed has been spread all over the world, the development of the situation will inevitably lead to an uncontrolled line of defense gone forever...

Although he didn't give a direct answer to Liu Sheng's question, Zhou Ren still didn't forget to sort out the thick stack of papers in his hand, and then divided it into two stacks, which were placed on the imperial case in front of Liu Sheng.

Seeing Liu Sheng ponder for a moment, Fang stretched out his hand and picked up the thinner pile;
With just a shallow glance, Liu Sheng's eyes, which were still slightly suspicious, instantly became firm.

"Emperor Xiaojing heard about Guan's affairs, and appointed Guanfu as Zhonglang general; within a few months, Guanfu rode his horse in the downtown area, and was dismissed for his crime..."

"—Dignified General Zhonglang, who is responsible for the security of the capital, instead of arresting those dudes who ride horses in the downtown area, he actually rides his horses in the downtown area..."

···
"After he was dismissed from office, he settled down in Chang'an, and was quite appreciated by the nobles, so he was promoted as a servant."

"In just a few months, he beat Changle Weiwei Dou Fu after drinking..."

"—Okay!"

"The brothers of the empress dowager dare to fight..."

"In order to protect his life, he was released as Prime Minister of Yan State for Emperor Xiaojing..."

···
"In a few months, I reported 'blackmailing the King of Yan' for others, and I was dismissed from office."

"Returning to the hometown to rest and recuperate, there are hundreds of servants and servants, causing disasters to the local area, including Yingchuan for a while, and two thousand stones can't cure them."

"For the stability of the people in Yingchuan, we have no choice but to let him be the Prime Minister of the country."

"Last autumn, farmers in Daiguo were forced to sell grain at low prices, and people were sent to block the roads entering and leaving Daiguo, especially grain merchants were not allowed to enter and exit Daiguo..."

After scanning Guan Fu's criminal evidence roughly, Liu Sheng was completely murderous.

Everything Guan Fu did after the Wu-Chu Rebellion—everything he did touched the fundamental interests of the Emperor Liu and the Liu Clan.

Liu Sheng didn't understand why the father of the first emperor had to tolerate Guan Fu in every possible way in the past, even shielding and pampering him like never before;
But Liu Sheng is very clear: If he doesn't make a move this time, then this Guan Fu will definitely give himself a big 'surprise' in the future.

The size of this surprise mainly depends on Guan Fu's courage, and is also affected by the length of time Liu Sheng pampers Guan Fu.

And the bad consequences brought about by this 'surprise' are most likely to be Liu Sheng——Liu Sheng at this stage cannot afford...

"last question."

"How did Guan Fu and Dou Ying get together?"

Liu Sheng asked this question again, and he stood up from his seat, with his hands behind his back, and stared out of the palace door with a serious face.

On the side of the imperial couch, when he heard that Liu Sheng didn't even mention the ironic title of 'Wei Qihou', and instead called him 'Dou Ying' rudely, Zhou Ren also vaguely understood something.

"Report to His Majesty."

"When Emperor Xiaojing was first Xiaojing, Wei Qihou Dou Ying was depressed and frustrated. He could not be reused by Emperor Xiaojing first, and was disgusted by the Empress Dowager of the East Palace, so he had to live at home and raise retainers."

"At that time, Guan Fu was also exempted from office because of a crime, and lived in Chang'an's mansion, and also kept some followers."

"In the beginning, Wei Qihou Dou Ying and Guan Fu went to each other's side for more than each other's followers, and there were some small disputes."

"Not long after that, the two chatted happily at a banquet, and they didn't meet each other..."

"—I see so~"

"—It turns out that it was my cousin, who shared the same illness with the thief and the husband, and that's why we are so close..."

Before Zhou Ren finished speaking, Liu Sheng's tone of sarcasm rang out again in the Xuanshi Hall.

After Zhou Ren lowered his head with a complex expression, and after an unknown amount of time, he sneered at the young emperor standing in front of the imperial couch, and then slowly sat back on the couch again.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, this is the young emperor who is about to back down.

But at least in the eyes of Langzhong Ling Zhouren and eunuch Ling Xiaque—these two veteran officials who are familiar with Liu Sheng's temperament—not only does this not mean that Liu Sheng is going to back down, but on the contrary, it shows that the young emperor wants to bite Hold on to someone...

"An edict."

"Ting Lieutenant Zhao Yu went to Wei Qihou's Mansion on behalf of me to 'visit' the heroes of the country on the holiday of the Son of Heaven."

"Give Wei Qihou a stone of millet, a horse of hemp, and half a catty each of chicken, duck, and pork."

···
"Lang Zhongling personally went to the East Palace to report the incident to the Empress Dowager."

Zhou Ren subconsciously bowed down to accept the order from the extremely calm, cold tone with almost no warmth, and pursed his lips with a complex expression after he came to his senses.

Letting Lieutenant Zhao Yu fake the Son of Heaven's Day, and come to arrest people in the name of "Visiting Heroes on behalf of the Son of Heaven", it can be regarded as saving enough dignity for Dou Ying.

But the subsequent series of rewards...
—A stone of millet instead of a stone of wine?
—A piece of flax instead of a piece of cloth?
The chicken, duck, and dolphin are rewarded with half a catty each, so why do you want to satirize Dou Ying?
I just want to think about it, but Zhou Ren has no intention of expressing these questions.

Not only would he not ask this question in front of Liu Sheng at this moment, Zhou Ren would also not ask this question in front of anyone at any time in the future.

After working for so many years as Lang Zhongling and Embroidery Guard Commander, and knowing so many royal secrets, especially the secrets of two generations of Han emperors, Zhou Ren knew that he had a high probability of dying well.

The best result is to get the honor of being "buried in Yangling" under the high surveillance of Emperor Liu.

What Zhou Ren knows best is that in his life, there are too many questions and too many secrets, which he wants to bring into the soil with him...

"Let's not rush away."

"For me, bring this letter to Wei Qihou."

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the indifferent tone of the young emperor sounded again. Zhou Ren only subconsciously bowed and raised his hands in front of him, as if to receive the 'letter'.

When a piece of paper fluttered into his hand - to be precise, half a piece of paper fell into his hand, Zhou Ren raised his head subconsciously.

With just one glance, Zhou Ren's legs were slightly slapped with white paper, and he hid the 'letter' in his arms without raising his head, and then hurriedly left with his hands in his hands.

Walking quickly along the way, until he reached the palace gate, Zhou Ren took a deep breath to calm down his violent heartbeat.

But thinking of the five words on that 'letter', Zhou Ren thought over and over again, and finally walked quickly in the direction of Shang Guanli.

Just walking, those five words kept popping up in Zhou Ren's mind, which made Zhou Ren upset for a while.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Lu?"

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Lu..."
