I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 173 A thousand-year fox, a ten-thousand-year demon
In just a few words, Han Anguo's temperament showed an almost 180-degree change.

——In the Cuju field, when a person stared at the field in a daze, Han Anguo showed loneliness;

When Tian Fu invited him home and entertained him lavishly, Han Anguo sighed, felt sorry, and laughed at himself.

Han Anguo was moved when he heard Tian Fu express his admiration for himself and said that he was "willing to spend all his wealth to help General Han at any time";

Then just now, Han Anguo was moved when he heard that Tian Fu was worried that he would not be able to be friends with him because he said the wrong thing, so he didn't plan to say the 'best policy'.

For a moment, Han Anguo even thought that he had lived half his life in vain, and finally met his bosom friend in this trough of life!

but at this moment;
At this moment.

All previous emotions were left behind by Han Anguo.

Han Anguo, who was lonely, embarrassed, and even slightly cramped before, disappeared;
Instead, Liang Wang Liu Wu had the highest quality and the highest resourcefulness among the ministers he had in his lifetime, and at the same time, he was the only adviser who was both civil and military;

— General Liang!
——Han Anguo! ! !

"I thought at first that Your Excellency is really an open-minded, honest and informal person."

"But your Excellency is right."

"——This is the best policy, as long as you say it, we will no longer be friends."

The indifferent voice made Tian Fu feel uncomfortable for a while.

I don't know if it's because Tian Fu regrets losing his friend Han Anguo;
It was still because Tian Fu felt embarrassed that Han Anguo had seen through his intentions.

Just being stared at by Han Anguo, he sat silently in his seat for a long time;
In the end, Tian Fu recovered from the strange emotions, took a deep breath, and stood up.

Across the distance from Han Anguo, looking down at Han Anguo, Tian Fu's face was full of magnanimity.

"I have expected the general to react like this."

"I don't think the general, this is going back on his word, breaking his promise and getting fat."

"—If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to sit here calmly like the general."

"But I still say that;"

"I consider myself to be an honest person."

"In front of respected people, I will never do anything hypocritical, and I will never say anything hypocritical."

"For the questions raised by the general, I will never care about the left and right, and talk to him."

After saying this in a calm tone, Tian Fu turned around, walked back to his seat in front of Han Anguo, and sat down by himself.

Raising his head again, he looked at Han Anguo who was sitting five steps away in front of him. On Tian Fu's face, he once again brought the humble smile that made Han Anguo feel good at the beginning.

It's just this humble smile, but it doesn't mean that Tian Fu's next words will also be in a humble tone...
"Don't dare to lie to the general."

"—Fact, it is indeed what the general said."

"——It's not just Wang Meiren who hopes to help Young Master Yi to be the crown prince. I, as an uncle, also hope to do the same."

"But that doesn't mean that the best policy I offer to the general is to sit back and watch the snipe (yù) and the clam fight, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"At least before Gong Zirong fell, Gong Zirong was still our common enemy."

"Taking down Young Master Rong is absolutely beneficial to King Liang, who is loyal to the general, and to my nephew Liu Zhi."

"In this matter, our goal is the same."

Fading out of these words without hesitation, admitting that he did have such thoughts, Tian Fu raised his head slightly again.

From the beginning to the end, Han Anguo couldn't see the slightest guilt from Tian Fu's face;
Just like what Tian Fu himself said just now: at least at this moment, Tian Fu has really achieved magnanimity in an absolute sense...
"I know that the general wants to help King Liang and sit on the position of the crown prince and brother;"

"And I, as the son's uncle, of course also hope to help my nephew to sit on the position of crown prince."

"——If I say that I don't want to help my nephew to be the prince, and I don't want to help my own sister to be the queen or queen mother, I'm afraid no one will believe it."

"But the general should be able to figure it out: we, at least for the time being, are not the enemy."

"On the matter of 'bringing down Gongzi Rong', we can completely reach an agreement;"

"Furthermore: even if Young Master Rong falls in the future, and King Liang and Young Master Shi are in opposition because of the position of the crown prince, it doesn't necessarily mean that the two of us will never die forever?"

"—The two of us can completely distinguish between public and private."

"Yu Gong, the general is loyal to Liang Wang, and I am running for my nephew;"

"In private, we can still be good friends."

"What does the general think?"

It was another candid confession, but Han Anguo fell into a long period of contemplation.

Tian Fu's calmness was indeed beyond Han Anguo's expectation.

——Han Anguo originally thought that Tian Fu would panic and hastily defend himself after being exposed to his true purpose;

It is even possible to become angry from embarrassment.

But Tian Fu was uneasy about playing out his cards, and he generously admitted his true thoughts, but on the contrary, the anger in Han Anguo's heart dissipated a lot inexplicably.

Perhaps Tian Fu's calmness made Han Anguo subconsciously relax his vigilance;

It may also be sincere, which can often win people's trust.

After a short period of entanglement, Han Anguo actually considered Tian Fu's proposal by a strange coincidence!
What surprised Han Anguo even more was that as his thoughts deepened, Han Anguo actually felt that Tian Fu's proposal was very reasonable...

"Your Excellency, you and I work together to bring down Young Master Rong;"

"After Mr. Rong's downfall, we will be our own masters, and we can distinguish between public and private. In private, we will still be friends?"

Hearing Han Anguo's warmer tone, Tian Fu secretly heaved a sigh of relief;
But his face was still calm and breezy, he smiled and nodded to Han Anguo.

"The king of Liang is kind to the general, and the general has no reason to ignore the affairs of the king of Liang;"

"As for the son, he is born with my blood, and I can't let my nephew go."

"—This is something we cannot change."

"But just now, the general said that when he was young, he used to study "Han Feizi" under the tutelage of famous scholars."

"Since I have learned to read scriptures since I was a child, the general will obviously not fail to understand the truth that all eggs cannot be put in the same basket..."

Saying so, Tian Fu smiled and shook his head;

Youyouran played with a jade pendant, and continued to say: "The general will definitely understand this truth."

"No matter who is the crown prince in the end, all we can do is strive for it."

"—We can only 'do our best', but there is no guarantee at all: the final ownership of the crown prince can be according to our wishes."

"In this case, why can't we become good friends in private?"

"Why can't we make a promise to each other today that we will never forget each other if we are rich?"

"In the future, if the King of Liang becomes the crown prince, I will rely on the general, and ask the general to be by King Liang's side and speak well for me, my nephew, and my sister;"

"If the son is the crown prince, the general will rely on me, and let me use my status as an uncle to seek a job for the general in front of the future new king, so that I can enter the court as an official."

"Regardless of the final outcome, the two of us can count on each other;"

"—Isn't this the best result?"

"—Isn't this a way to get the best of both worlds???"

The tone was full of ease and comfort, between the lines, but it was full of candid words, which finally made Han Anguo's heart gradually shaken a little.

Of course Han Anguo can understand and accept Tian Fu's view that "we are not enemies for the time being";

Because Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor, does not fall, it means that neither Liu Wu, the king of Liang, nor Liu Zhi, the tenth son of the emperor, can become the prince.

Therefore, it is indeed as Tian Fu said: Before Liu Rong lost the qualification to compete for the reserve position, there was no opposing position at all before Liu Wu, the king of Liang who Han Anguo was loyal to, and Tian Fu's nephew Liu Zhi.

Because the only possible conflict between Liu Wu, king of Liang, and Liu Zhi, the tenth son of the emperor, was 'who will be the crown prince'.

The premise of this contradiction is the fall of the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Rong.

At this point, Han Anguo could actually convince himself to accept Tian Fu's proposal to "join forces to bring down Liu Rong".

But the second half of Tian Fu's words made Han Anguo feel an inexplicable feeling...

fear!

"Tian Fu..."

"Tian Fu..."

"Obviously I didn't tell a single lie, but in this moment, my anger disappeared;"

"Even, the idea of ​​nodding and agreeing..."

"—I'm afraid that within 30 or [-] years, there will be more people like this in the Chang'an court."

"I just don't know who will be sitting on the throne at that time..."

Thinking this way, Han Anguo took a deep breath and looked up at Tian Fu who was sitting opposite him, but his thoughts were still running fast.

After thinking about it again and again, a faint smile finally appeared on Han Anguo's face.

It's just that this smile is different from Han Anguo's cramped and polite smirk when he came to Tianfu;

It is also different from the heartfelt joy when He Tianfu "the guest of honor had a good time".

——This smile is weird from the inside out.

But it was this weird smile that made Han Anguo and Tian Fu reach a tacit understanding...
"I never thought that Mr. Tian is not only open-minded, straightforward, but also quick-thinking;"

"—Even the eloquence is so convincing;"

"I'm even a little thankful that today, I'm Tian Gong's guest, not an enemy..."

Hearing that Han Anguo changed his address from 'Your Excellency' to 'Tian Gong' again, Tian Fu raised his eyebrows subconsciously;

After Han Anguo's slightly joking voice reached Tian Fu's ears completely, Tian Fu finally let out a long sigh of relief;
There was finally a sincere smile on the corner of his mouth.

Accompanying Han Anguo, teasing each other and laughing at himself, Tian Fu quickly brought the topic back on track.

——What exactly should be done to bring down the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Rong!

"Gong Zirong himself, in fact, there is no breakthrough."

"Even if there are some minor problems, they can't pose any real threat to the identity of the 'Emperor's eldest son'."

"So, if we want to bring down Young Master Rong, the only way is to start with the people around him."

"—I think General, you should understand who I'm talking about."

Tian Fu's indifferent words made Han Anguo nod without thinking.

The only breakthrough for Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor, is his mother who is made up of breakthroughs: Li Ji.

And the breakthrough in Li Ji...
cough cough

I can only say: Li Ji's whole body is full of breakthroughs...
"Although Li Ji is stupid, she is also a little clever."

"I'm afraid Li Ji won't be able to be fooled by ordinary methods."

"—From the past, if it's a trivial matter, it can't hurt the foundation of Gong Zirong."

"So, we must fight hard and try to bring down Gong Zirong in one fell swoop!"

"Only in this way can I win the opportunity to compete for the reserve position for the King Liang who is loyal to the general, and my nephew son..."

During the words, Tian Fu's indifferent face twisted suddenly!
The extremely uncoordinated and ugly facial features were also completely screwed together at this moment.

On the opposite side of Tian Fu, Han Anguo sat up straight involuntarily, made a gesture of "please" to Tian Fu, and then sat upright, as if to "listen all ears".

It was not until this time that among the three strategies Tian Fu offered to Han Anguo, the most important "best strategy" was finally put on the table by Tian Fu.

"Today's Empress Bo was selected from her own family by the late Empress Dowager when Her Majesty was still the Crown Prince, and forced her to be His Majesty's Crown Princess."

"So far I haven't been able to give birth to an heir. Empress Bo should have moved out of the Jiaofang Palace long ago, and confessed in front of the ancestor's god amulet."

"The reason why Your Majesty has not abolished Empress Bo so far is only because the Empress Dowager has just passed away."

"But right now, His Majesty, the Empress Dowager, and even the entire court are all staring at the appointment of the Crown Prince;"

"Queen Bo, I can no longer live in Jiaofang Palace with peace of mind..."

Hearing Tian Fu's words, Han Anguo raised his head thoughtfully, and tentatively said, "Mr. Tian means to use Jiaofang Palace as bait to make Li Ji do some stupid things... "

Before Han Anguo finished speaking, Tian Fu nodded heavily, then grabbed the tea bowl at hand, and took a sip with a dark face.

"In the past few years, the absurd things Li Ji has done are too numerous to count;"

"But just because she gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, Li Ji escaped many crimes."

"Right now, there are even rumors inside and outside the court that as long as Young Master Rong is here, no matter what Li Ji does, she will never be punished by His Majesty."

"However, if someone is in the court council and asks His Majesty in person to abolish Empress Bo and make Li Ji the empress..."

There was another meaningful dragging sound, which made Han Anguo's face even more serious.

Han Anguo understood.

Tian Fu's plan was to have a certain courtier, in front of all the officials, ask the emperor to ask the emperor to abolish the current empress Bo and make Li Ji the empress.

In this way, Tianzi Qi would definitely think that the courtier who forced him to abolish and establish another was inspired by Li Ji.

Regardless of whether in the end, Tian Ziqi thought that Li Ji was too impatient and her appearance was too ugly, or because of "Li Ji can instruct courtiers" and became suspicious of Li Ji, it was enough to cause the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Rong, to suffer an unprecedented blow.

If it works well, let alone the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Rong, will lose his qualification to compete for the crown prince;
Even the lives of Li Ji and Liu Rong's mother and son may not survive this turmoil!
just like this...

"Then who should we send to ask His Majesty to abolish Queen Bo and replace him with Li Ji?"

"——If this person is not enough, I'm afraid not only will he not be able to hurt Mr. Rong, but it will also set us on fire."

"But there are enough people, and they have to be courtiers..."

"And why would you help us?"

Hearing Han Anguo's question full of doubts, Tian Fu still had a watery expression on his face, leaning his body on the pillow beside him, and gently rubbed the stubble between his mouth and nose with his fingertips.

"——Censor Doctor: Tao Qing, Marquis of Kaifeng!"

Staring straight ahead at the table made of sandalwood, Tian Fu thought over and over again, and finally revealed the name of the person.

The imperial historian of the current dynasty, the founding father of the country—the son of Kaifeng Minhou Tao She, the second Kaifeng Marquis: Tao Qing.

"Doctor Yushi has always been privately called 'Yaxiang' by the ruling and opposition parties."

"In the past few years, the prime ministers of my Han family have often been transferred from Doctor Yushi."

"——Tao Qing, as a royal censor, must also hope that he can remove the word 'Ya' in 'Ya Xiang', and live a habit of avoiding Taoism and being extremely courteous."

"But some time ago, after Prime Minister Shen Tujia died of illness, His Majesty has not been in a hurry to pay homage to Prime Minister;"

"There are even rumors that His Majesty is planning to worship Taiwei Zhou Yafu as the new prime minister."

"At such a juncture, Tao Qing is definitely willing to do something, so that he can show himself in front of His Majesty, and finally fight for it."

"This gives me an opportunity for us to take advantage of;"

"As long as someone tells Tao Qing: Your Majesty actually wants to make Li Ji the queen, but because there are not enough important officials among the courtiers to speak up, Tao Qing will definitely take some action."

"As for an important minister like Doctor Yushi, especially Tao Qing, who only knew Weiwei and Nuonuo in the past, but never took the initiative to play the three princes, he unexpectedly played the song during the court meeting without any warning, asking His Majesty to make Li Ji the queen. ······"

"Hey······"

"—His son Rong, even if it is a towering tree, Tao Qing's hoe should cut off every root..."

At the end, Tian Fu's gloomy face also had a gloomy smile inexplicably.

But Han Anguo's attention was not on Tian Fu's ugly face and that sinister smile that sent chills down his spine.

"What Mr. Tian said makes sense."

"But Tao Qing, the imperial historian, has always followed the example of Nei Shi Chao Cuo;"

"When it comes to other people's suggestions, Tao Qing always goes in with his left ear and out with his right ear."

"—Even if Tao Qing really wants to be the prime minister and wants to express himself in front of His Majesty, then finally fight for the position of prime minister;"

"And who should tell Tao Qing: Your Majesty wants to make Li Ji the queen?"

Said with doubts on his face, Han Anguo couldn't help but slowly raised his head;
When he saw that Tian Fu was looking at him with a touch of sarcasm, the worry on Han Anguo's face froze for a long time...

"Don't lie to the general~"

"—The general was kicked out by the King of Liang. It is already known to all women and children inside and outside the court."

"So, the general only needs to come to the door in person and tell Tao Qing face to face: the cold reception of King Liang made the general feel very angry;"

"The general wants to take revenge on King Liang and ruin King Liang's affairs, so he made this suggestion to Tao Qing..."

"hey-hey······"

"—According to Tao Qing's brain, he will definitely believe it..."

He smiled and said something, Tian Fu finally got up from his seat, and Pai patted his trouser legs in a slightly contrived way;
On his mouth, he still did not forget to add the last sentence: "As for the aftermath~"

"—If His Majesty blames it, even if Tao Qing does not die, at least, he will be dismissed from office and retire."

"At that time, he, Tao Qing, has the title of Marquis of Kaifeng for nothing, but has no power in his hand, and is far away from the center of the temple;"

"As for the general, he has already returned to King Liang's side by virtue of this matter, and he has won the trust of King Liang."

"Under the circumstances, even if Tao Qing hates the general, what can he do with the general..."

　Call ~

　　That's it for today.

　　Good night, fathers~
