Chapter 446 Do You Understand?
Shen Liuzhen didn't look at him, shook his fan, and sighed slowly and pretendingly:
"I can't help it. For the stability of the Song Dynasty and the dignity of the Han people, even if I go through fire and water, I will not hesitate."

When Father Shen heard this, he snorted coldly with a half-smile, and said:
"Do you still have dignity in your heart? That is, people who don't know you well will believe your nonsense."

Father Shen suddenly thought of something, and said:

"Hey?...The little emperor of the Wei Kingdom, does he know what kind of person you are? If he knows and can still trust you so much, then he has something wrong with his brain. If he doesn't know...that means he is stupid , I don’t know who I know! No matter how I look at it, I’m no better than the emperor of the Song Dynasty.”

Shen Liuzhen felt a stagnation in his chest when he heard that, and felt angry that his brother was being belittled. The most annoying thing was that this person was still his own father.

It's not been a day or two since his own father suppressed him since he was a child, and now he even belittles his brother!
Shen Liuzhen turned his head and stared, just as he was about to turn back, he saw the conspicuous white hairs on his own father's temples, and immediately shut up, forcing back the evil fire in his chest.

Shen Liuzhen withdrew his gaze, and his tone of voice softened a lot from his previous plan, and said:

"Of course he knows who I am. He trusts me because I'm trustworthy. I lie in front of him very rarely, the second least."

Father Shen was also angry when he heard his son being so shameless, and snorted coldly: "That's really not easy. You, the second youngest, probably have more lies than others in your entire life, so you are ashamed to say it."

Shen Liuzhen was suffocated by the breath in his chest, he slowed down and said:
"Father...you can't... even praise me? I don't like you so much? You tell me the truth, I haven't seen my mother since I was a child. It's not that I died of dystocia, but that I don't have this at all. People... you picked me up from the side of the road, right?"

When Shen's father heard it, he stared angrily, straightened up, stretched out his hand, and slapped Shen Liuzhen's head, cursing:
"I'll kill you bastard! How dare you make fun of your own mother!"

Like a conditioned reflex, Shen Liuzhen quickly used his arm to cover his head and face the moment his father raised his arm, just as timely as when he was a child.

In his heart, he was thankful for his quick movements, but after blocking for a long time, he still didn't have the blow to come down.

"Forget it, you're so old, it's useless to beat you again. I thought your father-in-law could teach you well and change your temper, who knows..." Father Shen withdrew his hand, full of emotion Lie back again.

Shen Liuzhen sneered unhappily, and said:
"Come on, what should I change? My teacher thinks I'm pretty good. You think A Yuan is pretty good. That's right. My teacher got a son like me, and you got a... a son like A Yuan. Perfect."

When Father Shen heard this, he was suddenly happy, and said:

"Hey, with a son like Yuan'er, I can wake up laughing in my dreams. If it wasn't because you are my own, to tell the truth, I really think you are not good enough for my Yuan'er. If you are not right, I would be afraid You entrapped her."

Shen Liuzhen was so angry that he closed his mouth, his cheeks puffed up, his sparkling peach eyes drooped down, he thought for a while, and said in a worried tone:
"Father, aren't you afraid?...Looking at what the little emperor of the Song Dynasty has done, it's really unreasonable. When he won the throne, he was like an ignorant child, walking in the downtown area with a heavy treasure, which aroused everyone's attention and people's hearts fluttered.

The court is coveting the throne, and it is definitely not just the Ma family who are tempted. Most of them are hiding in the dark, looking for the right time. You and A Yuan are alone, standing in the light, and dealing with the siege in the dark. The pack of wolves...how many chances do they have? "

Father Shen turned over and lay on his side with his arms pillowed on his head. Looking at his son, he sighed a long time and said:

"Well... I know that. But it has reached the point where success is achieved, and failure is death. There is no third way to choose."

Shen Liuzhen knew what his father meant, and in his current position, in order to keep the little emperor's throne, he made many enemies.

Even if he wants to quit, those who are afraid of him and regard him as a serious problem will not let him go.

Shen Liuzhen lowered his eyes, put away the folding fan in his hand little by little, and said while putting it away:

"It's true that you can't go out of this road. But it's not that there is a third road, that is...you join hands with A Yuan to replace it."

Shen's father was stunned immediately, looking at Shen Liuzhen, his big copper bell eyes flickered, and he lowered his voice for a while and said angrily:

"What nonsense are you talking about?! It's fine that you don't look like a person yourself, but now you are still encouraging your father to be unfaithful and unrighteous. You have no shame like everyone else!"

Shen Liuzhen had already expected his father's reaction, and he ignored his father's contempt and evaluation of him, but said sarcastically:
"Loyalty, honesty, and shame, it depends on who you are dealing with. Zhuge Liang failed to support Ah Dou. You and Ah Yuan, the two leaders who fought in the war, besides playing house with him and cleaning up the mess, you may also have to take care of yourself in the end." Life, are you worthy of your own life?"

Shen Liuzhen added: "... Even if you don't think for yourself, you have to think for A Yuan."

Father Shen's firm and angry gaze, when he heard the word A Yuan, suddenly became numb.

He lay back, thought for a while, and said:
"You must have told Xie Yuan about this, but she disagrees."

Shen Liuzhen's voice was much weaker, and he said helplessly:
"I tried to persuade her, but I didn't say that deeply. As long as you agree, she will definitely follow you."

When Shen's father heard this, he hummed inexplicably, and said:

"I know, you have been used to thinking about manipulating people since you were a child. You are indeed talented here.

But... After all, because of your biased mind, you can't understand the choices of people like us.

Loyalty, integrity and shame... that is our foundation, what does foundation of the world mean?do you know?It is by this belief that one lives. If you lose it, you don’t want to live. If you live, you can’t lose it. "

Father Shen looked at Shen Liuzhen solemnly and expectantly, and asked again:
"Do you understand?"

Shen Liuzhen was shocked by Shen's father's sentence "If you lose it, you don't want to live, if you live, you can't lose it".

He knew that his father and Xie Yuan would most likely not listen to his persuasion, but he was not reconciled, he couldn't figure it out, so he came here all the way, and insisted on trying to persuade him face to face.

But... when his father's words came out, he was desperate, angry, helpless, and powerless, which made him extremely sad, and tears flowed silently from the corners of his eyes.

He stubbornly pursed his lips, taking advantage of the moonlight, pretending that he was not crying, and said with a sneer:
"I don't understand... How can a person like me have any basis for the world? I only look at the results and see if the person I care about is good or not. I don't care about the rest."
