I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 19 The Unexpected Disaster~
When Shentujia sighed and raised his breath, and even began to think about whether to risk his life to go straight to the audience, Yuan Ang carefully observed Shentujia's reaction at the other end of the carriage.

Speaking of Yuan An and Shen Tujia, they can be considered to have some connections.

——About five or six years ago, Yuan An was transferred back to Chang'an from Wu Guoxiang's position, and met Shen Tujia's carriage in the city;
Faced with the prime minister, Yuan An got out of the car solemnly to salute, but Shen Tujia did not get out of the car, but arrogantly lifted the curtain to thank Yuan An;

Afterwards, Yuan Ang personally went to the door to find Shentujia, but was once again treated coldly by Shentujia, and waited for a long time outside the prime minister's mansion before the arrogant Shentujia came.

After Shen Tujia appeared, Yuan An said: "Please wave away others, I have something important to tell the prime minister."

Unexpectedly, Shen Tujia still maintained a stern and selfless posture, and said in an extremely arrogant manner: If what you said is official, please go to the official office to discuss with the chief official, and I will report your opinion to it;
If it's a private matter, I don't accept private conversations, go back wherever you come from.

Seeing Shentu Jia's arrogance, Yuan An fell to his knees and tried to persuade Shentu Jia.

In the end, Shen Tujia also realized that his arrogance might bring disaster to him, and finally sincerely handed over his hands and said: I am a vulgar and vulgar person, but I am not smart, fortunately I was taught by the general.

From then on, Yuan An, a Chinese doctor, became the only guest in the Gu'anhou Mansion, and the only special existence who could meet Shen Tujia for 'private matters'.

Although due to Shentu Jia's unselfishness, the personal relationship between the two could not be said to be very close, but after getting along for so many years, Yuan Ang has almost become Shentu Jia's only friend.

To be precise, almost everyone, inside and outside the government and opposition, except for Chao Cuo and Chao Cuo's 'junior brother' Zhidu, is Yuan Ang's friend;

But today, it is rare for Yuan An to take the initiative to ask to ride with Shentujia, just to discuss with Shentujia how to kick Chao Cuo, who 'doesn't want to be friends with him', from the court... ·
Thinking of this, Yuan An rolled his eyes, and the draft he had already typed was immediately placed in front of Shentujia.

"Prime Minister thinks, if the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager don't show up, will His Majesty change his mind and abolish Chao Cuo's "Policy for Cutting Fans"?"

The sudden question caused Shen Tujia to shake his head and sigh again.

"Without the persuasion of the two empress dowagers, I am afraid that His Majesty will not change his mind..."

Hearing this, Yuan An only nodded slightly, and asked again: "Does the prime minister have the confidence to stop His Majesty from carrying out the "Policy for Reducing Fans" on the premise that the two empress dowagers do not show up?"

As soon as this question came out, Shen Tujia shook his head again and again, with a sad look on his face, wishing to overflow the carriage.

"If it gets to that point, even if the old man tries his best to die, he will stop His Majesty from making fun of Jiangshan Sheji;"

"But the discord between the monarch and the prime minister is also a disaster for the world..."

Hearing the helplessness in Shentujia's tone, Yuan An nodded again, and finally asked again.

"The prime minister thinks that if there is a way for the Queen Mother to come forward and persuade His Majesty not to carry out the "Policy for Reducing Fans", will His Majesty obey?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Tujia suddenly raised his head, staring straight at Yuan An with wide-open eyes!
After seeing the confidence on Yuan An's face, the words they said when they first met were finally uttered again by Shen Tujia.

"I was born in the army, and I am a vulgar man."

"If Doctor Yuan can help me find a solution, I will never forget this kindness!"

But seeing Yuan An stretch out his hand politely, and helped Shentu Jia who bowed his hands in salute, he pondered for a while to speak.

Then, a horrifying plan was placed in front of Shen Tujia.

"The prime minister may not know something: unlike the empress dowager, the empress dowager can't always tell right from wrong. What the people around her say, the empress dowager will often believe."

"The closer the person speaks, the easier it is for the Queen Mother to obey."

"Right now, I'm still far from enough to move the Empress Dowager and persuade Your Majesty to abolish the "Policy for Reducing Fans."

"But to the Empress Dowager, there are quite a few people who are closer to me..."

When Yuan An said it, Shentujia immediately fell into thinking.

Shen Tujia did not quite agree with Yuan An's statement that "the queen mother can't tell right from wrong";
But even if Shen Tujia wanted to refute Empress Dowager Dou's "soft-eared" comments, she couldn't do anything.

Take for example the incident in which Young Master Liu Sheng punched Zhonglang Jiang Zhidu some time ago, if someone else had changed, I'm afraid that no matter what, he would have to go to the imperial prison;
But precisely because the 'assailant' was the son Liu Sheng, Queen Dowager Dou did not punish her too harshly in the end.

To put it bluntly, in most cases, Queen Mother Dou can still distinguish right from wrong, right from wrong.

It's just that on this basis, Empress Dowager Dou will be slightly partial to the party she is close to because of her emotions;
That's it.

As for Yuan An's meaning, Shen Tujia also understood: Since I am not enough to change the Queen Mother's mind, then find someone who is closer to the Queen Mother than me.

And such a person...

"Princess Guantao?"

Speaking of a person who changed Chang'an Chaotang's discoloration after hearing about it, Shentujia's face couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

Princess Liu Piao of Guantao is the eldest sister of the emperor Liu Qi, who was also born to Empress Dowager Dou;
But for this arrogant and domineering eldest princess who always 'robbed' property from the Shaofu and the treasury, it was very difficult for Shen Tujia to convince herself not to hate this person.

Fortunately, after hearing the words 'Princess Guantao', Yuan Ang did not nod, but shook his head helplessly and smiled.

"Prime Minister, this is a blinding leaf. There are people like that around him, but he can't see them at all..."

Hearing the profound meaning in Yuan An's words, Shen Tujia took a deep breath, and finally his face sank a bit.

"We stopped Chao Cuo to repay Emperor Taizong Xiaowen's kindness, and to ensure that the ancestral temple and the community would not be destroyed by villains like Chao Cuo;"

"Even if His Majesty is angry because of this, it is our duty as subjects."

"But Young Master Sheng is His Majesty's heir, and he is still my student now; in the future, he will be named a prince and king."

"In order to achieve the goal, using students to persuade the queen mother, causing the young master to be hated by your majesty, this is probably not what an upright person should do."

"If because of this matter, His Majesty angers you, and eventually sends you to such a bad place as Changsha to become king, I will live in self-blame for the rest of my life."

Expressing his attitude righteously, Shen Tujia pursed his lips tightly and put on a gesture of 'stop trying to persuade';
But after Yuan An's next sentence, Shen Tujia's firmness was immediately knocked to pieces...

"Besides son, prime minister, is there any other way?"
