retaliate

The weather is hot, and the emperor's favorite delicacy is Lengtao.

Chang'an Duohuai tree, mix the juice of the leaves of the pagoda tree with wheat flour, make it into flakes or thin strips, boil it and mix it with cold water.

He took a bite of Lengtao with chopsticks, squinted his eyes and praised: "Ah Ning made this!"

The Queen smiled and said, "You actually managed to eat it."

"That is, I have eaten it for many years, and I can't get tired of it."

The emperor and empress were showing their affection, but the prince was stunned.

"Brother, eat!"

De Wang has a good appetite, and has already eaten [-]% of a bowl of Lengtao.

"Why, I can't figure it out?" The emperor pressed his hand and signaled the prince to sit down, and after he sat down, he said, "The relationship between the monarch and his ministers is not as close as you imagined. As an emperor, he must want to do something. And the same is true for the courtiers, even if the two sides have the same purpose, they are not necessarily like-minded..."

"I think differently," said the prince.

"Yes, you can't find two people who think exactly the same in this world. Let alone the monarchs and ministers sitting in the temple. If the two sides have different ideas, they will naturally go farther and farther. But people have a characteristic, that is, they always think that they are It is right, and the other party is wrong. So they will correct their mistakes and try to turn the other party around."

"What if you can't hold back?" De Wang had already finished his Lengtao, and turned his eyes to brother's bowl.

"That depends on which of the two parties is more sophisticated. A Liang, think about the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty."

The New Deal of the Southern Zhou Dynasty was essentially a deep-seated contradiction caused by the disagreement between the monarch and his ministers on the concept of governing the country.

"They want to change, but Peng Jing and others want to...not change."

"Yes!" The emperor ate a piece of sauced beef and gave the queen a thumbs up.

The queen rolled her eyes, and the long-lost beauty made the emperor stare straight at her.

The prince pondered for a while, "So Peng Jing and others tried every means to sabotage the New Deal, trying to turn the emperor and the others around."

"But Sun Shi is upright, but in the end both sides will suffer." The emperor was even happier when he saw the stewed tofu. "Nian Xu still has the idea of ​​launching a new policy again. Peng Jing and others simply don't do it, and they don't stop..."

A Liang was in the army during the Southern Expedition, so he reacted immediately, "At that time, the contradictions could not be reconciled, and Peng Jing and others simply killed the emperor."

"Yes, isn't there such a thing in the history books?"

The stewed tofu was slightly cold, and it seemed that it had been chilled with well water. It was very refreshing. After eating a few slices, the emperor said: "If you look at this issue from a deeper level, you will find that the starting point of all conflicts is the interests of the representatives of both parties. It's just different."

The prince was a little confused.

"Nianxu is the emperor, he must maintain the stability of the country as much as possible, and to do this, he must allow the people to maintain food and clothing. But Peng Jing and others represent the scholar-bureaucrat class. This class despises everything. In their In the eyes of the people, the common people are just pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, so, for Peng Jing and others, it is extremely absurd for Nian Xu to cut off the flesh of the scholar bureaucrats for the sake of a group of pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep."

The prince said thoughtfully: "Then... Who do those people represent?"

"This is the homework given to you by your father. If you can't find the answer, go out of the palace to explore."

The emperor smiled mischievously: "When I return, if you still can't find the answer, you will be confined for half a month."

"Yes!"

The prince sat down, and the emperor glanced at him coldly, "The young man is growing up, eat more meat."

A waiter brought a plate of beef, and the prince looked at it with a sad face.

"Eat it!"

The emperor said with a smile.

When are you happy being a parent?
When watching my child gobble up the food.

The vigorous vitality blooming in front of their eyes can make them forget the reality that they are getting old.

It was as if someone was young instead of them.

After dinner, the prince went back.

The emperor and queen drink tea together.

"Ah Liang hasn't slept well these few days." Zhou Ning said quietly.

"He's still a child!" The emperor said, holding a teacup, "He will be a little confused in the face of such public opinion, but it's better to be confused earlier, at least it will allow him to reflect on the relationship between the monarch and his ministers. In this way, he can to avoid detours."

Zhou Ning asked: "What do those people outside mean?"

Zhou Ning only believed half of what the emperor said earlier.

"Some people want to trap me in the palace." Disdain appeared in the emperor's eyes, "Other people want to stir up the situation."

"They want to target Ah Liang?" Zhou Ning was filled with a dangerous aura, like a female animal preparing to protect its calf.

"Yes." The emperor drank tea slowly, "I started from northern Xinjiang, but the essence of the Central Plains is in Guanzhong. At the beginning, those people didn't like me, so not many people came to seek refuge. When I swept the Northern Liao Dynasty, I went south to destroy Shi Ni. Afterwards, those people panicked and wanted to grab Conglong Zhigong's tail, but how could I let them do so?"

Those people's methods were very reserved at the beginning, like Brother Liang from another world, squatting at home waiting for the uncle to visit the thatched cottage.

"I ignored them, and these people regretted it, so I made various hints. The hints were useless, so I wrote a letter to express my intention to contribute. At that time, when I took A Liang to conquer the Southern Zhou Dynasty, I used those letters to light the fire. Very useful."

The emperor was so narrow that the empress couldn't help but smile.

However, she also felt a domineering arrogance that dominates the world.

"What I don't like the most is showing off, but these people love it the most." The emperor really didn't like those scholar-bureaucrats, "Ah Liang has been in the northern border, how many people have caught up with the function of the dragon?"

The emperor counted with his fingers, "Liu Qing and the others couldn't wait anymore, even if they did, but at that time I was still there, they had to worry about making way for newcomers. The old thief is getting old, Cao Ying I'm old too, Jiang Cunzhong and the others are going to catch up, but I have Nan He in the army to check and balance them, plus Zhen Siwen and others, the army is well organized, enough for Ah Liang to stabilize the situation..."

If those courtiers heard the emperor's analysis, they would probably feel chills down their spines.

Seemingly calm, the emperor reorganized the power structure.

"My counterattack to become an emperor is the same as the founding emperor. The best time to make a fortune is when the country is founded." The emperor said with a smile: "Those people saw that Ah Liang couldn't make it here, so they turned their eyes and looked at Jiro!"

Speaking of this, the emperor sneered and said: "These people want to disrupt the situation and cause conflicts between my father and son. They are not in a hurry, they just wait for the conflict to gradually intensify, and finally repeat the scene of father and son killing each other countless times in the world. Then, they Naturally, they can gain benefits by being loyal to Erlang or later Saburo Shiro."

This was the case with Yang Songcheng back then, when he bet on Li Mi, he not only supported manpower and material resources, but even sent his daughter into his backyard.

But this investment, which seemed a little unreliable at the time, became Yang Songcheng's proud work later.From this, he became the powerful head of the current dynasty, the uncrowned king who could compete with the emperor.

"But how could I give them such a chance!" The emperor laughed and said, "I put those memorials on hold just to let them continue jumping up and down. At any rate, before going out to fight, I slap these restless idiots and make them be honest. some."

Later, the emperor went to the front.

The queen was sitting there, and Yi Niang came in.

"Yi Niang!" The queen laughed.

Yiniang sat down, "Your Majesty wanted to visit an old minister who was seriously ill, but just when he was about to change his clothes, he heard that the crown prince hadn't slept well, so he came to the palace first."

"Actually, I most want to stay in northern Xinjiang for the rest of my life." The queen smiled wryly.

"Your Majesty said that the suspicion of the father and son of the Tian family is instinctive. It's like a small family, who listens to someone for one thing, and the father, son and relatives can fight together, not to mention that this is a country."

Yiniang looked at the queen gently, "But Your Majesty said that he doesn't want to be a monster controlled by the desire for power, he has confidence. But he is more worried that A Liang or future generations will become such a monster in the future. So, he will Make an example."

Talented emperors are often worried that their fathers are heroes and their sons are bastards, so they will leave many so-called ancestral systems for future generations to follow.

The emperor is also unavoidable, but he is more of an example.

"Your Majesty said that the crown prince is a man. Although the queen can comfort him here, the man should come out on his own."

After entering the East Palace, the framework of a small imperial court is in A Liang's hands.

He was a little dazed, but also a little eager to try.

But this public opinion war in the outside world made him re-examine himself.

Sitting in the study, Ah Liang held a volume of books in his hand, wealth was at his feet, and the swordsman didn't know where he went.

After entering the palace, Fugui is extremely comfortable, and is very popular with those palace servants. Everyone loves this pet that has never appeared in the palace.

However, the swordsman caused a commotion. When everyone approached Ah Liang, they felt like they were facing a formidable enemy, as if they would be torn to pieces by the swordsman the next moment.

Even though the swordsman showed his side that doesn't like cannibalism behind him, people in the palace still dare not approach it.

Jiang Hui came in with a bruised face and offered tea.

"Let the loneliness be quiet for a while!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Hui turned around, only to find that the swordsman was standing outside the door at some point, staring at him with indifferent eyes.He shivered, and stepped aside to get out of the way.

The swordsman came in swaggeringly, walked up behind Ah Liang and lay down, yawning.

Ah Liang was just like back then, leaning slightly back on it.

Wave your hand.

Chiang would resign.

A Liang thought of the years in Tao County, when his father often went to war, but there was always time for the family to be together.

After the army went south, the family gathered less and left more, until he was taken to the south.

Those were the happiest days for him. His father took care of his daily necessities every day, and told him things he had never heard of at night until he fell asleep peacefully.

If possible, he hopes that the Southern Expedition will never stop.

But in the end their father and son entered Chang'an City.

His father became the emperor, and he became the prince.

When the power was handed over for the first time, Ah Liang was a little excited.

His father was very tolerant, and Ah Liang felt that such days would continue.

until now.

Those courtiers said that he was too young to sit in Chang'an. He knew that the purpose of this was very complicated.

Looking through the history books, there are countless examples of princes who are much younger than him supervising the country.

This is more like a game between the emperor and his officials.

And he.

It became a chessboard!

"Aye!"

A Liang looked enviously.
