Dahan first prince

Chapter 37 The Honest Man?
"Honest man..."

Looking at the backs of Mrs. Bo and the fourth son Liu Heng, mother and son, Liu Ying couldn't help sighing.

Unexpectedly, when Lu Zhi heard the words, he suddenly sneered, and the gentleness on his face disappeared in an instant.

"Honest man?"

"How can there be honest people in the deep palace of Tianjia?"

Hearing Lu Zhi's slightly hostile reprimand, Liu Ying couldn't help turning her head slightly, and sat back beside Lu Zhi thoughtfully.

"What does the empress mean...?"

Seeing Liu Ying's question, Lu Zhi couldn't help but sighed a little.

"Doesn't Ying'er think how comfortable it is for the mother to sit as a queen?"

"If it weren't for the past, Lu's nephews and elders have made many contributions to Sheji, and the elder brother Zhou Lvling Wuhou, even insisted on the merits of confirming Han Zuo. Today, my mother thinks that she is the queen, and she may be worse than Bo Ji!"

As he spoke, the corners of Lu Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was some deep meaning in his tone of voice.

"As the saying goes, the king of Chu has a thin waist, so many starved to death in the palace."

"In the deep palace of the Tian family, whoever is able to conceive a dragon son and a phoenix grandson, and the mother and child are safe so far, how many people can be good friends?"

"If it's not possible to use ruthless means, I'm afraid that the mother and son will have been eaten in this deep palace long ago..."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhi turned his head with a serious face, and looked at Liu Ying with some anticipation in his eyes.

"Bo Ji gave birth to Liu Heng, the fourth child. Since mother and child are safe, there is absolutely no way that Bo Ji is an 'honest person'."

"It's just that Bo Ji is deeply abstained from the way of self-protection, knows the way of superiority and inferiority, and can be regarded as a smart person at best."

"In the future, my son will come to the sacred place, so remember it!"

"—Concubines and concubines in the harem, especially women who are about to give birth to a prince, there are absolutely no good people!"

"Among them, Qi Ji is the most sinister person who serves the king with alluring colors and acts like a soft girl!!!"

As he was talking, Lu Zhi's complexion suddenly showed a hint of ruthlessness!
"This generation has no great skills, no strategy, only uses femininity to deceive the saints, and wants to be expensive by virtue of their sons and dogs to ascend to heaven!"

"Wouldn't it be wrong to hear that virtue is not worthy, and suffer instead???"

"Jiangshan Sheji, how can a Ji's beauty determine her ownership?!"

Seeing that Lu's pheasant became more irritable, Liu Ying couldn't help but restrain her face a little, and sat next to Lu's pheasant, and gently patted Lu's pheasant's hand.

"I understand..."

"Mother, don't get angry, don't get angry anymore."

Liu Ying's obedient consolation finally eased Lu Zhi's gradually irritable mood, but his eyes were still full of hatred for whom he didn't know.

Seeing that her mother was still angry, Liu Ying thought about it for a while, and then tried to divert Lu Zhi's attention.

"Mother."

"Since Mrs. Bo is not a kind person, why did the queen mother reject Mrs. Bo's suggestion and still allow Ah Heng to be raised under Mrs. Bo's knees?"

As she spoke, Liu Ying did not forget to make an expression that seemed to be really puzzled, and looked up at Lu Zhi full of curiosity.

Seeing this, even though Lu Zhi was angry in his heart, his sharp eyes could not help softening in an instant, and he gently caressed the back of Liu Ying's head.

"Ying'er is young and weak, so she doesn't know the dangers of the deep palace~"

"In the peasant households of the common people, the sons of the concubine are raised under the knees of the main family, which is the reason that should be included in the title."

"However, in the Tian family, the empress considers herself the royal family, and it is inconvenient to force the concubine to keep the prince under her knees."

As he spoke, Lu Zhi's tone finally returned to calm, but there was still a hint of exclamation in his tone.

"Although Bo Ji said: For the time being, the fourth child will be raised under the mother's lap, but this statement is not the original intention of the statement."

"Bo Ji wants to sue her mother because the fourth son is the queen of the kingdom, and all affairs of the country are left to the mother, that is, Ying'er."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhi couldn't help smiling.

"That's why my mother said that although Bo Ji is not kind, she also knows the pros and cons, and she deeply taboos the way to protect herself in the heavenly family and in the deep palace..."

Hearing Lu Zhi's words, Liu Ying couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully.

After only a moment, Liu Ying raised her head with some doubts: "Mother's queen."

"There is one thing that my child still doesn't understand."

As she said that, Liu Ying asked her doubts under Lu Zhi's encouraging eyes.

"Madam Bo is not kind, but she knows the seriousness."

"From a child's point of view, those who know the severity should be trusted; but they are not good, and they cannot be trusted."

"Since that's the case, do you believe someone like Mrs. Bo?"

"If you believe in it and take it seriously, will there be a risk of backlash in the future?"

Hearing this question, Lu Zhi thought for a while, then let out a long sigh.

"Ying'er, remember."

"It's not just the struggle in the harem, it's not just the political struggle in the court. Anyone who wants to achieve great things, the first to go is the benevolence of a woman!"

"Whether it's the harem concubines, concubines, or courtiers, hundreds of officials, county officials, if they are only kind, they will be useless!"

"—If you are a benevolent official, you will be deceived by the wicked people; if you are a honest official, you will be fooled by your colleagues."

"If you are a king's concubine or concubine, those who are benevolent and weak will not end well; those who enter the court as officials and rank as ministers, benevolent ones will be murdered by traitors!"

Speaking of this, Lu Zhi sighed again, and then looked at Liu Ying solemnly.

"Thus, those who are only good at benevolence and goodness, but have no strategy, can be trusted, but not reused; those who have the unique ability to do things, but have no benevolence and righteousness, can be used, but never be trusted!"

"Only those who show their benevolence and kindness to others, and who have the ability of Zuozhi Jiangshan, can be trusted and used."

Hearing Lu Zhi's speech about how to use people, Liu Ying's face gradually became serious.

Liu Ying asked this question originally because she saw that Lu Zhi's anger was hard to dissipate, so she found a topic to divert her mother's attention.

But what surprised Liu Ying was that my old lady, Lu Zhi, actually had such precise and sophisticated views on the way of imperial servants and employing people.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Ying smiled gratefully.

"I understand."

"Thank you mother for your teaching."

But when Lu Zhi heard the words, Liu Ying, who was a little hesitant, pulled back and sat down beside her. Looking at Liu Ying, there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Just now, my mother said that the fourth child is good at benevolence, but short at masculinity."

"However, the fourth child will eventually return to the concubine, and in the future, he will be just another prince of the Guandong clan; if he is good at benevolence, it will be enough."

"But in the future, Ying'er will..."

"The mother's words seem to be speaking to the fourth child, but in fact, they also have the meaning of warning my son..."

After speaking, Lu Zhi finally patted Liu Ying's hand with a little worry, and his tone of voice was full of sincerity.

"Ying'er came here today because of Uncle Sun Tong's appointment as the Crown Prince and Grand Tutor, right?"

Seeing Liu Ying nodding silently, Lu Zhi rushed to express his worries before Liu Ying could speak.

"In the next few years, Shangshan Sihao will be by Ying'er's side."

"Uncle Sun Tongshen thought that the prince was a great tutor, and he even taught him in the womb of the prince every day."

"Ying'er should always keep in mind: these five people can all be Confucian scholars!"

"The words of Confucian scholars cannot be trusted..."
