retaliate

Zhang Qiang is a veteran and well-known.

And fame is the greatest talisman, so these people dare to belittle princes.

A Liang humiliated Zhang Qiang in public, and Zhang Qiang immediately resigned. This is a common routine.Under normal circumstances, it was time for Ah Liang to appease Zhang Qiang, and if Zhang Qiang lowered his head, the atmosphere would naturally ease.

After returning to the East Palace, Zhang Qiang complained that the prince did not respect the veteran.

During the time of Chen Guoshi, the crown prince gave up his duties and powers.When he arrived in Datang, the status of Prince Sheren was immediately raised.The prince's family has the responsibility to persuade the prince, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a gentleman.If the prince doesn't respect him, he doesn't respect the teacher.

"Mr. Zhang's words, aren't they too intense!" The prince's horse-washing club is much higher than Zhang Qiang's, but he is a good-natured person, and said with a smile: "This makes the prince feel a little bit embarrassed!"

"If it weren't for this, how could the crown prince change his ways?" Zhang Qiang was still angry, "When His Majesty returns, he will definitely blame us when he sees such an unruly crown prince."

"But after all, we are courtiers!" Tan Hui said meaningfully: "Look, old man, why don't Mr. Zhang take the initiative to invite the prince first, and then after that! We can talk about it naturally."

"So, the prince will intensify next time!" Zhang Qiang refused.

"Hey! Why are you bothering!" Tan Hui shook his head, "Your Majesty is fighting in Shu, if you know about it, you don't know what will happen!"

"What can I do?" Zhang Qiang said stubbornly: "This old man is doing his duty to teach the crown prince, but the crown prince is stubborn and domineering. Can this old man sit back and watch? If the crown prince refuses to be taught, this old man will resign!"

Tan Hui smiled wryly. At this time, seeing the servant next to the prince coming, he asked, "But the prince called?"

This is probably because the prince sent someone to comfort Zhang Qiang!

Tan Hui gave Zhang Qiang a wink, signaling him to hurry down the steps.

Zhang Qiang sat coldly.

The waiter came in and said:
"Your Highness heard that Zhang Sheren wants to resign?"

"Exactly!" Zhang Qiang said coldly.

The so-called dignity of a teacher, even the emperor has to give his husband three points of face, let alone the prince.

The servant said: "The prince said, that's fine!"

Zhang Qiang: "..."

Tan Hui was stunned, "Did the prince say this?"

"Exactly, slaves dare not lie." The servant said.

How could the gentle and gentle prince have such a strong point?

Zhang Qiang couldn't believe it.

Tan Hui felt that the servant did not dare to lie, so the prince was angry.

The prince was furious, and even said: "Alright!"
That's an elegant way of saying it.

The translation is: Hurry up and get out!

These words were like a slap on Zhang Qiang's face.

But Zhang Qiang was sitting on the wax at this moment, and leaving, in the eyes of the emperor, he resigned in the absence of the emperor.

But if you don’t leave, the entire East Palace that Zhang Qiang said earlier knows about it.If you don't leave, where will he put his face?

Thinking that Zhang Qiang was quite strict with the prince, Tan Hui gave him a sympathetic look, thinking that although the prince looked gentle, he should know how the emperor treated his courtiers, this gentleness was only on the surface.When it was time to be tough, the prince showed his skills like the emperor.

How tough is the emperor?

Guanzhong's powerful clan threatened him, but he still chose an iron fist.

The prince who was taught by the emperor will naturally not be weak.

……

The matter of the East Palace soon reached the queen.

"Queen, do you want to take care of it?"

Aunt Guan asked.

The queen sighed, "I only care about Ah Liang's daily necessities, even if he is bullied, as long as his health is not damaged, then I can only sit and watch."

Once the women in the deep palace intervene in such matters, the situation will be complicated.

Moreover, Ah Liang will also gain a bad reputation... The crown prince and his courtiers were in a dispute, and it turned out that the queen took the initiative to save the situation.

You are not even as good as a woman!
Aunt Guan sighed in her heart, after going out, she happened to meet Yi Niang.

Yi Niang stood behind the railing, with her hands in her cuffs, her waist straight, looking at a group of court ladies.

"Does Yi Niang know what just happened at the Prince's side?" Aunt Guan asked.

Yiniang nodded, and Mrs. Guan said: "This Taifu is too deceptive, but the Queen refuses to intervene."

"The harem intervenes...unless His Majesty dies."

How do I answer what you said?Aunt Guan froze for a moment, "Then watch?"

"Yes, watch!"

"What if His Highness suffers?"

"Have you ever seen a tiger teach a cub to hunt?"

"Never seen."

"Tigers will hunt their prey by themselves and let their cubs watch. After several times, they will let their cubs hunt."

"But Your Highness..."

"Do you think that His Majesty brought the prince with him to teach, just to teach those articles? That's the tiger teaching the cubs to hunt!"

……

Yiniang turned around, watched Aunt Guan enter the hall, and told the female officer beside her, "Take care of the East Palace. Also, go and tell Liu Qing personally, just say, don't disturb Your Highness's interest in eating!"

"Yes!"

……

The emperor led the army to crusade against the false emperor, and the head of the officials in Chang'an was Liu Qing.

After accompanying the crown prince in court meetings every day, there are still countless things waiting for Liu Qing.

Zhang Qiang's complaints and threats also reached Liu Qing, and he invited Luo Cai to discuss.

"It is said that the crown prince scolded Zhang Qiang, old courtier! He is a celebrity again, and he was a little bit embarrassed, so he threatened to resign." Liu Qing said.

Luo Cai took a break from his busy schedule and drank a few sips of tea slowly, "No matter what, he shouldn't let his pick at this time, at least wait for His Majesty to come back. What's the hurry, this man?"

"I don't know. But this matter is not easy to deal with." Liu Qing sniffed the tea, this is a tribute tea rewarded by the emperor, a few slices are enough, the fragrance is pleasant, "If Zhang Qiang is suppressed, this person may rebound. If we let him... we don't have the right to allow him to resign, right?"

"The prince doesn't either."

The two smiled wryly at each other.

"But it's the first time the crown prince is in charge of the country, so it's not good to cause a lot of trouble. What the old man means is, if you come to appease Zhang Qiang, the old man will go to see the crown prince and talk about it... At any rate, peace is the most important thing!" Liu Qing said.

"Alright!"

Luo Cai got up, ready to persuade Zhang Qiang.

"Liu Xiang, there is someone in the palace asking to see you."

A small official came to report.

"This is probably the Queen's person." Luo Cai said.

It was a female officer who came in. Seeing that Liu Qing and Luo Cai were the only ones in the room on duty, she said, "Yiniang ordered the slave to send a message, please Liu Xiang not to disturb the prince's interest in eating!"

After finishing speaking, the female officer took her leave.

The two people in the room were stunned.

"Interest in eating!" Liu Qing rubbed his forehead, "Co-author, Zhang Qiang and others are the prey His Majesty left for the crown prince?"

Luo Cai smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, during the southern expedition, His Majesty took the prince with him and taught him the way of conquest. But the prince is young after all, and it is not easy to lead the army. Later, when he entered Chang'an, His Majesty took the prince with him and taught him the way of conquest. How to deal with political affairs. But education is education, and no matter how good a teacher is, he can only teach students who can speak well. If you want to use it in practice, you must practice it.”

"It's not easy to come by on paper, and I know that this matter has to be done. This is His Majesty's poem." Liu Qing said: "Zhang Qiang is knowledgeable and well-known, but the candidate for the crown prince does not necessarily have to be him. The old man still thought it was weird at the time, but thinking about it now, when His Majesty chose Zhang Qiang, he was regarded as the Prince's whetstone."

The two smiled at each other.

Someone came to report, "Liu Xiang, Zhang Sheren is asking to see you."

"This person is here." Luo Cai said with a smile: "It can be seen that he is unwilling to give up his official position, but he also cannot lose face. What do you think?"

"Now that I know His Majesty's intentions, how dare the old man disturb His Highness's hunting interest."

Liu Qing said: "Just say that the old man is not free, no see!"

Zhang Qiang didn't expect Liu Qing not to see him, so he was in a dilemma for a while.

……

"Your Highness, there is a letter from His Majesty!"

Ah Liang, who was reading in the study, took the letter and opened it.

In the letter, the emperor described the situation of the conquest in great detail, and made some details, especially the direction of the people's hearts, very clear.

——The rivers and lakes are dangerous, boy, take care of your mother and brother, and besides, stand firm for me!
The prince put away the letter, "Swordsman!"

The swordsman came in and lay down behind him.

Ah Liang was leaning on the swordsman's back, with his hands resting on the back of his head.

He was waiting for Zhang Qiang's response.

"Your Highness." Luo Song came limping, "Zhang Sheren, go see Liu Xiang."

"Oh!" Ah Liang narrowed his eyes, "How?"

"Liu Xiang didn't see him!"

A Liang waved his hand.

He murmured, "Next, it's interesting!"

Tiger hunting is often more like teasing its prey.

The emperor taught him to be patient.

So Ah Liang is not in a hurry to deal with this matter, he is observing, and wants to see the Eastern Palace and the court's attitude towards him through this matter.

Liu Qing didn't see Zhang Qiang, this is his statement: the old man stands with the crown prince!
Jiang Hui came to report with joy, "Zhang Sheren stamped his feet outside Liu Xiang's duty room, and then left."

"understood."

A Liang was leaning against the swordsman, squinting his eyes, as if he was dozing off.

Chiang would resign.

There is no second person in the study.

"Swordsman, what do you think these people are thinking?"

The swordsman flicked his tail lazily.

"Aye said that the source of the conflict between the courtiers and the emperor comes from the struggle for power, and both sides want to get more power. The emperor naturally has the upper hand, and the courtiers have to suppress the emperor if they want to fight back... the Southern Zhou Dynasty so it is.

Aye is the emperor killed on horseback, they dare not dare.But they will turn around and come towards me.Since I was young, I have been tempted and suppressed... After I succeed to the throne, I will naturally become their puppet.hehe! "

A Liang rubbed the swordsman's tail, in exchange for a growl of dissatisfaction.

"Aye told me to learn to observe the minds of my courtiers. I have paid attention to Zhang Qiang for a long time. He seems serious and always has a straight face. But Aye said that the real majesty is never displayed on the face.

This person is known as a celebrity, and he advertises that he regards fame and wealth as dung.Why!Aye said that the more people lack something, the more they will adorn themselves.The more fame and wealth people are, the more they like to flaunt that they don't like fame and wealth. "

A Liang scratched the swordsman's back, "Swordsman, I bet Zhang Qiang will come and give in."

An internal servant reported from the outside.

"Your Highness, Zhang Sheren is asking to see you."
