I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 195

"Yuan An is this guy~"

"tsk;"

"how to say······"

Ganquan Palace, hot spring pool.

Tianzi Qi, who had just soaked in the hot spring, was lying comfortably on the deck chair by the pool, with his head turned slightly;
Liu Sheng was sitting by the pool, soaking his feet in the hot spring, pouted hesitantly, and shook his head to himself.

"Let's put it that way."

"——The teacher once said: Yuan Ang is very capable of handling things;"

"No matter what it is, as long as it is handed over to Yuan Ang, it will always be handled properly."

"But it's because of Yuan An, who makes almost all friends and knows everyone;"

"No matter where Yuan An goes or who he is in front of, there will always be someone who will give Yuan Ang some face and try to cooperate with Yuan An."

"This kind of people······"

"Tsk, son-in-law can't tell."

"I just think~~"

"Hmm~"

"——Yuan Ang, he doesn't look like a courtier."

"Like a knight instead?"

The words full of hesitation only provoked Tianzi Qi to chuckle and shake his head.

Turning sideways, he took the water bowl from Mrs. Jia, tasted the warm honey water, and continued to ask: "Then how should a person like Yuan An be appointed?"

"What kind of position can let Yuan An's talents be brought into full play?"

Hearing this, Liu Sheng thought over and over again, but finally shook his head.

"My son doesn't know."

"My son just feels that the debts of favor owed by Yuan Ang everywhere may cause him to encounter the situation of 'having to repay the favor' when he holds a certain position;"

"This is likely to make Yuan An use his power to repay the favor he owes."

"If this is the case, then no matter what kind of position it is, it should not be handed over to Yuan An..."

"—Yes~"

After patiently listening to Liu Sheng's opinion, the emperor Qi sat up from the reclining chair with great satisfaction;

Smiling approvingly and nodding, he did not forget to grin at Liu Sheng again.

"This is the reason why I have never allowed Yuan Ang to hold a certain position for a long time in the past so many years."

"Yuan Ang's old friends are everywhere, and his friends are everywhere;"

"When Yuan An needs to deal with something, these people will naturally bring Yuan An a lot of benefits;"

"But once Yuan Ang assumes an important position, these 'friends' will become worms that Yuan Ang cannot refuse."

"——If Yuan Ang becomes a Ting Wei, these people will ask him to pardon his relatives and friends;"

"——If Yuan Ang becomes the Shaofu, these people will beg him to take the property of the Shaofu as their own;"

"No matter what kind of position it is, as long as Yuan Ang sits on it and has power, someone will come to him and force him to use his power for personal gain."

"So, in the past few years, neither the late emperor nor I appointed Yuan Ang as an important minister."

"Only when something urgently needs to be resolved, Yuan An will be temporarily appointed to a certain position, and then Yuan An will be asked to solve the matter."

"After the matter is resolved, Yuan An will be dismissed from his post and given false titles such as Zhongdoctor or Taizhongdoctor."

"Ah······"

"——Because of this matter, the queen mother has complained a lot..."

Shaking his head with a wry smile, he put the water bowl in his hand beside him, and stood up from the recliner;

Stretching lazily, and taking a long, comfortable breath, Tianzi Qicai lowered his head again and looked at Liu Sheng who was soaking his feet by the pool.

After thinking for a while, he walked forward, sat down beside Liu Sheng, and followed Liu Sheng's appearance, soaking his feet by the pool.

"Uh~~~"

"comfortable;"

"After all, I haven't been to Ganquan for many years..."

Tianzi Qi's tone of voice was full of enjoyment, but it only made Liu Shengbai lower his head in boredom;
While swinging his feet, he murmured instinctively: "Obviously I come here every summer..."

"Last year, I brought Wang Meiren with me..."

Being exposed by Liu Sheng again, Tianzi Qi was already numb, and raised his head without changing his face, and patted Liu Sheng on the back of the head lightly.

"—I'm still in front of you~"

"Stinky boy..."

"I don't know how to carry my back..."

The 'friendly' interaction between the father and son also caused Mrs. Jia to nod her head repeatedly.

With a gentle smile, he sat down on the recliner, looked at the backs of the father and son soaking their feet, just smiled and went into a daze.

——Oasis Palace, of course Mrs. Jia has been here.

Especially in the years after the birth of the eldest son Liu Pengzu, Mrs. Jia accompanied the emperor Qi to Ganquan Palace every year.

But in Mrs. Jia's impression, the scene in front of her made Mrs. Jia feel a little bit of "family" for the first time in her life.

Of course, compared to the ups and downs of ordinary farmers, this scene is nothing.

But for Mrs. Jia, and for the father and son who were born in the royal family, such a warm scene can be called 'precious'...

"His Majesty."

In the silence, a deep call made the whole family of three look sideways;
After seeing it clearly, it was the new lieutenant: Zhidu, Mrs. Jia subconsciously stood up from the reclining chair.

After a while, seeing Liu Sheng standing up from the edge of the pool, the emperor Qicai finally said, "You bastard stay here;"

Subconsciously said a word, and saw Tianzi Qi turned sideways again, looking behind Mrs. Jia, who was about to leave in the same way.

"Jackie..."

"Stay too."

"Hear more about these things;"

"In the future, when it is useful."

The indifferent words finally reassured Mrs. Jia, and she did not forget to turn her eyes for help to Liu Sheng, the son beside Tianzi Qi.

After Liu Sheng also nodded his head lightly, Mrs. Jia resisted the uneasiness in her heart and sat down on the stone bench beside her.

After a while, Tianzi Qi, Liu Sheng and his son also stood up from the pool, Tianzi Qi sat back on the reclining chair, and Liu Sheng came to Mrs. Jia's side, and patted his mother's back with a warm smile.

"Sooner or later there will be this day..."

"Ok?"

Liu Sheng's gentle tone came from behind, and it finally made Mrs. Jia breathe a sigh of relief.

Stretching his hand to his shoulder, he gently held Liu Sheng's hand, and then forced himself to turn sideways calmly, and looked at Zhidu who was also sitting next to Tianzi Qi not far away.

And the first sentence that Zhidu said made Mrs. Jia's heart, which had just calmed down, instantly feel uneasy...
"Li Ji, has been sent to Changle, and is under the personal supervision of the Northern Army jailer;"

"That incident was instructed by Li Ji's elder brother Li Ben behind the scenes, and Li Ben has already committed suicide in prison."

"The ranger Ji Xin instructed by Li Ben..."

"—Chen was a step late and let him escape."

After saying the last sentence 'let him escape', Zhidu lowered his head in shame;

And in front of Zhidu, Tianzi Qi, who was slumped on the recliner, also changed into a 'work-specific expression' in an instant. Although he was still wearing a casual single robe, his complexion instantly became serious.

"Ji Xin, it's just a bandit, nothing to worry about;"

"Is it Li Ben..."

"—Isn't someone instigated?"

"The Li Ben I know probably doesn't have such a brain?"

Asking softly, Zhidu only nodded his head heavily.

"That matter was personally visited by Li Ben and discussed with Ji Xin."

"But the servants of Li Mansion said: before Li Ben went to look for Ji Xin, someone came to look for Li Ben;"

"It's just that I can't find out who this person is."

"——Thinking about it, it should be the person who advised Li Ben, the pawn sent to find Li Ben;"

"And now, Ji Xin is missing, and Li Ben died in the lieutenant's secret prison. That pawn, I'm afraid it's already..."

Hearing the figure in Zhidu's words, Tianzi Qi nodded again;

After a moment of silence, he turned sideways and waved to Liu Sheng.

"come over;"

"Come to me."

The emperor's father had an order, Liu Shengzi could only appease his mother, and then walked forward.

Seeing that Tianzi Qi waved his hand lightly, signaling Liu Sheng to sit down on the other side;
On this side, just as Liu Sheng was about to sit down, Tian Ziqi's gaze was already on Zhidu on the other side.

"Where is the court?"

"Hundred officials in the court, what is the reaction?"

"Among Gonghou Yuanxun, is anyone involved?"

Hearing this question, Zhi Du just nodded again.

"Tao Qing, the censor doctor, seemed to want to do something, but Nei Shi Chao Cuo came to the door, and after shouting and cursing, he died down."

"Neishi Chao Cuo, Ting Wei Zhang Ou, eunuch Liu She, and Shaofu Xiao Sheng have all understood His Majesty's intentions and are waiting for His Majesty's instructions."

"Dian Ke Gongsun Huanxie and Wei Wei have no doubts, they all decided to stay out of the matter, focus on their own duties, and not intervene in this matter."

"It's Yuan Ang..."

In the middle of speaking, Zhidu quietly stopped talking, looked at Tianzi Qi meaningfully, and then glanced at Liu Sheng who was aside;

Seeing Zhidu's posture, the emperor Qiben didn't take it seriously, he just said indifferently: "Go on;"

"What happened to Yuan Ang?"

But seeing Zhidu heard the words, a look of hesitation suddenly appeared on his face;
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Tianzi Qi meaningfully: "Outside the pass, it seems that someone has come..."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Qi's expression changed slightly;
Before Liu Sheng could react, he quickly coughed twice and winked at Zhidu.

"Hmm~"

"I know."

"anything else?"

"Who else is involved in this matter?"

Seeing that Tian Ziqi finally came to his senses, Zhi Du heaved a sigh of relief, and continued the conversation.

"Mr. Chaozhong, no one is involved in this matter."

"On the contrary, in the womb of the crown prince, there seem to be many officials who feel for the eldest son of the emperor..."

"—Aren't you angry?"

"Or it should be said, unwillingness..."

As he spoke softly, Zhi Du couldn't help but raise his eyelids a little, carefully observing the change in Tian Zi Qi's expression.

On the other side of Tianziqi, after hearing the endless question and answer between the monarch and his ministers, Liu Sheng also used up a lot of energy, and finally relied on the "eldest son of the emperor" mentioned in Zhidu's last sentence. 'Three words, but vaguely understood something.

As for Tianzi Qi, after the end of Zhidu's report, he fell into a long period of stupefaction;

After dozens of breaths, Tianzi Qicai sneered, raised his head with a sneer, and leaned the back of his head against the back of the reclining chair.

"Ah······"

"Officer of the Crown Prince..."

"I haven't registered the crown prince yet, all the subordinates of the crown prince have recognized the lord in advance~"

"Hey;"

"hey-hey······"

The sneering laughter only caused Zhidu and Liu Sheng to lower their heads subconsciously;

Even Mrs. Jia who was not far away took a deep breath anxiously, and looked at Liu Sheng full of worry.

After a long time, Tianzi Qi stopped his strange laugh, took a breath, and sat up straight.

"The subordinates of the Crown Prince's uterus, whoever is involved with the eldest son of the emperor, will be dealt with."

"—Even if they are not involved, they will all be dismissed!"

"Ling Shao's mansion selects another group of subordinate officials to fill the womb of the crown prince."

"This matter should be done as soon as possible."

He gave orders in a deep voice, and when Zhidu got up and cupped his hands, Tianzi Qi turned his body to the other side, and Liu Sheng was also about to stand up.

"Leave homework for you."

"—After you go back, think carefully about what Zhidu told me just now."

"How should I handle this matter, what links should I be careful about, and who should I pay special attention to?"

"Thought it out, go to the bedroom to find me."

After laying out the 'homework' with a little seriousness, Tianzi Qicai finally stood up and put on that relaxed smile again.

"All right;"

"Take your mother and go to the hot springs."

"——It's rare to come to the sweet spring once, and when I return to Chang'an, I can't soak in it..."

Hearing that Tianzi Qi wanted to let him go, Liu Sheng didn't doubt him;
Gently nodding his head, he helped his mother and walked towards the palace not far away.

"Still soaking your ass..."

"It's been soaking for a day, and the skin is about to soak off..."

"—Hush your voice!"

"—Let His Majesty listen, I'm going to beat you again!"

The two mothers left whispering to each other, while the emperor, Qi, only stopped at the spot with a smile on his face, watching the mother and son leave;
When the mother and son were gone, Tianzi Qi's face was 'shua', and in the blink of an eye, there was a touch of sternness!
"The bastard is here, what are you doing outside the customs?!"

Suppressing his voice and letting out an angry growl, Tianzi Qi still did not forget to subconsciously turn sideways and look in the direction where the mother and son left;
After confirming that the mother and son were far away, the emperor Qicai cast his angry eyes on Zhidu in front of him.

"Chen, I don't want to talk about it..."

"Your Majesty..."

Hesitantly muttering a few words, Zhi Du finally gave up his defense, knelt down and cupped his hands as if resigned to his fate.

"Minister, guilty..."

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, he sat back on the reclining chair indignantly, and slammed his body on the backrest. The emperor Qicai asked angrily, "Say it now!"

"What happened to Yuan Ang?!"

Frightened by Tianzi Qi's inexplicable anger, Zhidu's face was immediately filled with grievances.

But after all, he was cooperating with his superiors and subordinates for many years, and after a short adjustment, Zhidu adjusted his mentality;

After a few words, he looked around subconsciously, and before getting up, he put his ear on Tianzi Qi's side;
"The king of Liang has already made an action;"

"The first batch of people sent has already entered Chang'an City."

"It's just that Yuan Ang's side made a slight mistake..."

"--what's wrong?"

Hearing Zhizhi talk about serious business, Tianzi Qi also slightly suppressed his anger, but immediately frowned.

Seeing that Zhidu continued to whisper: "The assassin sent by King Liang to assassinate Yuan An did not do anything;"

"Not only didn't do anything, but also told Yuan An about his origin."

"Right now, Yuan An is prepared, I'm afraid it's..."

Stopping the conversation just right, Zhidu then straightened up, lowered his head and took a step back, put his hands on his belly, and quietly waited for Tianziqi's instructions.

And after Zhidu's report, the expression on Tianzi Qi's face was indeed as Zhidu had expected, suddenly a little cloudy and uncertain.

"The assassin can't assassinate, but instead actively exposes his purpose?"

"Will you warn Yuan An in advance?"

"why?!"

"—Because of him, Yuan An, he made friends with various religions and nine streams everywhere?"

The question was full of sarcasm, but Zhidu nodded his head slowly;

And Tian Ziqi's face, as Zhidu nodded, completely darkened...

"To Yuan An, I still feel ashamed..."

"But from this point of view, Yuan Ang..."

"——Damn it..."

The gloomy murmur only made Zhi even lower his head even more.

After a long while, he tentatively opened his mouth again and said, "Since we are prepared, Yuan Ang will probably not be stabbed to death."

"But Your Majesty said earlier that this time, one person must die..."

Zhi Du probed and asked, but Tianzi Qi pressed his lips tightly in annoyance, and leaned back his upper body with a gloomy expression;
Leaning on the back of the chair, subconsciously shaking the reclining chair back and forth, Tianzi Qi's expression became more and more gloomy.

"At first I thought, Yuan An is also Jiuqing and the Empress Dowager's guest;"

"Damn Yuan An, it should be enough to make the Queen Mother give up..."

"Um······"

Sitting on the reclining chair with a gloomy expression, subconsciously raised his hand, and gently stroked the gap under his jaw, Tianzi Qi's deep eyes gradually began to flash a little light.

And Zhidu bowed and stood aside, quietly waiting for the final instruction from Emperor Qi.

After about a stick of incense, Tianzi Qicai recovered from his thoughts.

That is, at that moment, on the face of Tian Zi Qi who was still covered with clouds, there was only absolute confidence that everything was under control.

"Shut off the 'guests' from outside, and send someone to keep an eye on them;"

"It can be put into the city gate, but absolutely not into the palace gate."

"There is no need to deliberately do anything on Yuan An's side."

"—keep an eye on those 'guests' at all times, and never make any other moves before they make a move!"

"As long as the first person dies, shoot immediately and take them all!"

"Be sure to keep alive!"

"Absolutely, absolutely, never cause a second life..."

Tian Ziqi's low voice made Zhidu nod his head repeatedly, expressing his understanding.

After Tian Ziqi slumped back on the back of the chair and waved his hands to himself, Zhi Du finally took a step forward with some doubts, and asked softly: "Then, damn it..."

"Or Yuan An?"

An inexplicable question, but Tian Ziqi only caused a meaningful smile, turned his head to the other side, and then closed his eyes with a strange smile.

"If it's Yuan Ang, then of course it would be the best;"

"But if Yuan Ang survives a catastrophe..."

"Hey······"

"Then, it just depends on luck~"

···
"correct;"

"Chao Cuo and Tao Qing, you should keep an eye on them a little bit."

"—My younger brother~"

"—I'm afraid, it's already crazy~~~"

One last word, Tianzi Qi waved his hand again, and immediately turned his back;

After all had left, Tianzi Qi, who was lying sideways on the recliner, finally showed a playful smile on his face.

"a······"

"Exactly, who could it be..."

　The state is a bit sluggish, and I don't want to affect the quality, so I deleted and edited repeatedly, and then I made these two pictures today.

　　Let's stop here today. Taking advantage of the weekend, I will take a break and go for a walk or something. (I didn’t go out for a week, either coding or eating and sleeping, I was going to be suffocated...)
