I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 203 I counted my fingers, Rong is going to tear down the temple wall
After seeing off Chao Cuo, Tao Qing, Liu She, and Xiao Sheng, the emperor's solemn expression did not ease much.

Frowning and lowering his head, after reading a few more reports, Emperor Qi simply laid his body back and lay flat on the couch.

"Food in Guanzhong..."

"Rewards for meritorious soldiers..."

"Pensions for the dead and disabled..."

"The plan at the end of the year, the meeting at the beginning of the year..."

"—Hoo~~~·······"

"It's all money..."

The weary sigh made the palace servants on the side slightly stunned;
After a while, more than a dozen palace servants in the palace quietly exited Qingliang Palace as if they had received some signal.

Waiting in the hall, only Tianzi Qi lying flat on the couch, and the eunuch Ling Chuntuo who closed his eyes like an old monk in meditation five steps away from the imperial couch were left. It rang after it was turned on.

"If Your Majesty needs money, King Liang seems to have a lot of spare time?"

"On the way back, I personally took a look around Suiyang;"

"King Liang's palace was built completely according to the size and layout of Weiyang Palace, not an inch long or short."

"—I even saw it with my own eyes: the 'Xuan Shi Hall' of the Liang Palace is the same as the Xuan Shi Hall of the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an. It is based on a mountain and stands like a cloud..."

"There are also Dongyuan, which has a radius of more than 300 miles, and Suiyang City, which has been expanded to 30 miles. They are all connected by overhead passages. From the palace to the platform, they are more than [-] miles long."

"When the King of Liang entered and exited the palace, he always cleared the way and forbade passers-by, warned and applauded, and when he went out, he followed thousands of horses and hung up the banners rewarded by His Majesty."

"The grandeur of the show, let alone 'similarity', is 'more serious' than His Majesty, and there is absolutely no exaggeration..."

The gentle tone of the man in black came to his ears, which only made Tianzi Qi, who was lying flat on the imperial couch, smile knowingly.

After thinking about it for a while, he forced himself to put the matter of his younger brother Liu Wu aside, and Tianzi Qi finally closed his eyes with a half-smile.

"Chu's affairs are well done..."

"—I have never been to Chu State."

"—Your Majesty, I may have misremembered."

As soon as the words fell, the man in black hurriedly denied it, which only made Tianzi Qi more and more satisfied.

After a moment of silence, he asked abruptly: "Since King Liang is mentioned, let's talk about it;"

"——What's the situation in Suiyang now?"

"Han Anguo, the internal historian sent by my younger brother to Chang'an, what has he been up to lately?"

Seeing Tianzi Qi asking about something serious, the man in black hiding between the curtains also suppressed his smile a little.

After pondering for a while, he said to the speaker: "In Suiyang City, people are in panic!"

"Everyone is worried that King Liang will be condemned by His Majesty and Queen Mother because of Feng Chang's assassination of Yuan An."

"As for Han Anguo, it seems that he went to the eldest princess's mansion and cried a lot, and finally persuaded the eldest princess to introduce himself to the queen mother..."

"—cry all the time?"

"—Is it 'crying' for a while, or~"

"--Uh?"

Hearing the deep meaning in Tianzi Qi's words, the man in black only nodded his head: "In addition to crying, Han Anguo also brought a few boxes of things and left them at the princess' mansion..."

Hearing this, Tianzi Qi just smiled, and shook his head with a little sarcasm.

"Is that right~"

"The door of the eldest princess's house~"

"Without gold bricks, it can't be broken~"

"Hey······"

"Han Anguo is considered smart."

···
"Where is King Liang?"

"What's the plan?"

Emperor Qi Leng asked again, and the man in black nodded again.

"King Liang, it seems that he intends to come to Chang'an."

"I estimate that the King of Liang will leave Suiyang after Han Anguo seeks the Queen Mother's forgiveness for King Liang."

"As for the purpose, it seems to be..."

"Pleading guilty?"

Swish!
Almost at the same time when the words "King Liang intends to come to Chang'an" were spoken by the people in black, the contented look on the emperor's face suddenly disappeared!
Opening his eyes suddenly, and listening to the man in black's report without missing a word, the emperor Qicai sat up thoughtfully, lowering his head slightly with a gloomy expression.

"Come to Chang'an..."

"Pleading guilty?"

"Do not······"

"It won't be that simple..."

He muttered to himself, and thought for a moment, then he saw Tianzi Qi turned his head slightly and looked at his side, but in fact, he was obviously explaining to the man in black behind him.

"Think of a way to let King Liang get wind of it;"

"—Just say: I plan to kill Liang Wang!"

"—As long as King Liang comes to Chang'an, he will definitely not be able to go back alive!!"

As soon as the words came out, the man in black froze on the spot, and subconsciously raised his hand, but he couldn't make a bow for a long time;

Shocked, he was stunned for fifteen breaths, and when Tianzi Qi became a little impatient, he turned around again, and the man in black swallowed hard.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

"King Liang..."

"Where is the Queen Mother...?"

Hearing the trembling voice of the man in black and the obviously frightened tone, Tianzi Qi couldn't help but smile.

"It's just the sound of the wind~"

"Aren't you really going to kill?"

"—It's just to scare my good brother~"

"In order not to come to Chang'an, cry a few times at the mother's place, and then the mother's heart softens, and start making troubles about the crown prince and emperor's younger brother..."

Hearing the emperor's words, the man in black heaved a sigh of relief, and cupped his hands with lingering fear.

"I understand..."

"--Ok······"

After some exchanges, the emperor Qi on the imperial couch, the man in black behind the imperial couch, and the eunuch Ling Chuntuo standing beside the imperial couch fell into a long silence.

On the imperial couch, Emperor Qi's complexion changed, obviously thinking about something;

Behind the imperial couch, the man in black hesitated to speak, as if he was not sure whether he should retreat or not.

As for Chuntuo next to the imperial couch, it seems to have become a statue.

Unless the man in black leaves, Chuntuo will never be freed from the 'petrified' state...
"Han Anguo~"

"Hmm~"

"—What kind of person do you think this Han Anguo is?"

After a full stick of incense, Tianzi Qicai asked again, breaking the silence in the hall.

Hearing this question, the man in black finally brought his scattered thoughts back to his eyes, and first subconsciously cupped his hands;

Then he recalled Tian Ziqi's question, pondered for a while, and then expressed his opinion in a mechanically stiff tone.

"Han Anguo, a native of Liang, whose surname is Changru, was born in Cheng'an County, Liang State. He has read a lot of books since he was a child, and has studied in Shenshang, Han Fei, and Zajia."

"In the spring of the 19th year of the first emperor, he moved to Suiyang, the capital of Liang. With his profound knowledge, he received the trust and courtesy of King Liang."

"—Before Wu Chu rebelled, King Liang was called to Chang'an;"

"At that time, Han Anguo suggested to King Liang: Don't make promises to His Majesty lightly. Unless the Queen Mother issues an edict to enshrine the Crown Prince, otherwise, he will prevaricate His Majesty with words such as 'the country is small and the people are few', 'wealth is barren and the soldiers are weak'."

"But Han Anguo's suggestion, King Liang later forgot..."

···
"Afterwards, the Wu-Chu rebellion broke out, and when King Liang was in chaos, only Lieutenant Zhang Yu of Liang Guo and General Han Anguo were able to fight the rebels and win."

"But Zhang Yu is a martial artist, so it is not surprising that he has such a performance;"

"On the contrary, Han Anguo, who was born as a scribe, first planned for the King of Liang as a 'counselor', and then as a 'general', resisted the rebels in Suiyang..."

"Judging from everything here: Han Anguo is a man who is capable of writing and martial arts, and is extremely talented."

"But at the same time, Han Anguo attaches great importance to King Liang's kindness and is very loyal to King Liang;"

"If there is no major change, Han Anguo, it should be difficult to serve anyone other than King Liang..."

Tianzi Qi asked casually, and the man in black told Han Anguo's origin like an encyclopedia of household registration;

Finally, I haven't forgotten to add an evaluation of "capable of writing and martial arts, but very loyal" for the emperor's reference.

It was as expected by the man in black: Tian Ziqi was very satisfied with his meticulous reply, and nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face, barely opening his mouth to praise.

After nodding his head to show his approval, the topic of Han Anguo, like many topics discussed by the two monarchs and ministers in the past, was naturally left aside by Emperor Qi.

When he asked the next question, Tianzi Qi also turned his head to the side, looking at the eunuch Ling Chuntuo who was not far away.

"The little bastard, what are you busy with?"

Quiet.

"Ok?"

There was still a long silence.

Even if the Son of Heaven said 'hmm', he still couldn't dissociate Chuntuo who was beside the imperial couch from his petrified state.

Seeing Chuntuo's reaction like this, Tianzi Qi could only laugh and shake his head, and immediately lay down again.

Lying down halfway, he propped up his upper body with both hands and elbows, looked up at the top of the hall with a calm expression, and then asked the same question to the man in black behind the imperial couch.

After receiving the reply from the man in black, Tianzi Qi's indifferent face became strange for no reason.

"Yuan An?"

"——this kid, why did you get mixed up with Yuan An?"

The questioning voices were full of surprises, which only caused the man in black to smile wryly, and there was also a little helplessness in his tone.

"Earlier, Young Master Fei gave the chain armor to Yuan An in the name of Young Master Sheng."

"It was because of that chain mail protection that Yuan An was not assassinated by the assassins sent by King Liang."

"Afterwards, Yuan Ang thought: Young Master Sheng knew that he was going to be assassinated, so he entrusted Young Master Fei to give him the chain mail."

"—At this moment, Yuan An is outside the Guangming Hall, thanking Young Master Sheng face-to-face for his 'life-saving grace'..."

Hearing this, the doubtful look on Tianzi Qi's face only became more serious.

For a moment, there was even a hint of astonishment faintly revealed!
But after thinking for a while, Tianzi Qi, who wanted to understand the reason, finally smiled and shook his head again.

"Ah······"

"It's interesting;"

"The bastard had no intention of doing anything, and made Yuan Ang remember himself as a 'life-saving grace'?"

"From now on, wouldn't Yuan Ang..."

In the middle of speaking, Tianzi Qi's face was only a little startled, on top of his relaxed expression, there was also a little playfulness spontaneously.

"Um······"

"Send someone to watch;"

"See if that bastard can subdue Yuan Ang."

"If it is possible, it will not be in vain for my painstaking efforts..."

"—If I really want that bastard to subdue Yuan Angzhi, I can stop worrying about Yuan Ang's death in the hands of King Liang."

The emperor made a joke, and the man in black surrendered himself.

After a while, the topic was changed again without warning by Tianzi Qi.

"Where are the captains and generals?"

"Along the way, did these two people have any unreasonable remarks?"

While talking, Tianzi Qi didn't forget to sit up by himself, and touched his toes vigorously with both hands, as if he was exercising his muscles and bones.

When the man in black heard the emperor's words, his face suddenly became serious!
"The Taiwei and the General seem to be somewhat dissatisfied with His Majesty's plan to enlist the son Sheng."

"—Taiwei believes that when His Majesty secretly instructed the Taiwei to ask for the crown prince, he hinted that he wanted to establish Linjiang Wangrong;"

According to His Majesty's instructions, the Taiwei wrote a letter to ask for the crown prince. Although he didn't specify who he asked for, it was also the eldest son of the emperor who asked for appointment. '

"Now, His Majesty has changed the name to Prince Sheng, which seems to make the Taiwei a little unhappy..."

···
"The general is a little better. Although there are also some surprises and complaints, he does not intend to oppose His Majesty's decision."

"It's just that in the past, the general has done the work of Prince Zhan for many years, and he has also received hints from His Majesty and the Queen Mother to 'worship the prince and the eldest son of Pope Fu'."

"Earlier, the general also vaguely regarded himself as the 'teacher of the eldest son of the emperor', and even advised the eldest son of the emperor and Li Ji."

"And now, His Majesty wants to establish the son to win, the general seems a bit..."

"Uh······"

"Can't let go of face?"

"—After all, the general used to think that he would become the prince and tutor;"

"Now, Your Majesty wants to appoint Gongzi Sheng, and the general seems to be a little entangled: should he be the prince and Taifu of Gongzi Sheng, or ask Your Majesty to appoint the general as Linjiang Wang Taifu..."

The words full of hesitation only provoked the emperor Qi to smile;
Exhausting all the strength in his body, he touched his toes once in a while. Tianzi Qicai leaned back, put his hands behind his back, and let out a soft sigh.

"This Dou Ying~"

"It's good everywhere, but it's too face-saving..."

"—If you say that, you just want me to give him a step, so that he can get his wish and become the prince and tutor."

"As for Linjiang Wang Taifu, Dou Ying will never do it..."

With a relaxed tone, he uttered a tease, smiled and shook his head slowly, Tianzi Qi's relaxed expression quietly took on a little stiffness.

"As for Zhou Yafu..."

"Hey······"

"—I can only say that he is worthy of being his father: the bloodline heir of Jiangwuhou Zhou Bo~"

"Ok?"

Full of banter, and obviously sarcastic 'Huh? ' With a sound, the man in black bowed his head in a secretive manner, and did not dare to talk to Tianzi Qi on this topic.

——Zhou Yafu is now an official obeisance to the Taiwei, holding the monstrous power of "freely mobilizing the world's soldiers and horses", and has just made a peerless contribution to put down the chaos of Wu and Chu!
At this juncture, any topic about Zhou Yafu is a bit too sensitive for the man in black...

"Where are they?"

While the man in black lowered his head in thought, another whisper from Tianzi Qi was heard next to his ear, causing the man in black to raise his head quickly!

"Uh, Hongnong, who passed three days ago, should be able to arrive at Xinfeng tomorrow night."

"—At the latest the day after tomorrow, I can return to Chang'an..."

There was still a little panic in the voice, only to make Tianzi Qi laugh again inexplicably, and lowered his head again.

As if remembering something very important, he lowered his head and pondered for a full half a moment (15 minutes) before slowly turning his side.

He lowered his feet to the imperial couch, put on his shoes casually, then stood up, bowed his head and straightened his belt.

While tidying up, he did not forget to continue: "The heads of Yang Sheng and Gongsun Gui have been brought back by Uncle Tian."

"You still need to send someone to go to Qidi."

"—After all, these two people died for the affairs of the ancestral temple and the community, and I can't give them glory."

"Um······"

"It's better for you to go there yourself."

"Just as a 'friend', give their family members some compensation."

"Wait until the wind has passed, and then send people to Qidi to arrange the funeral for these two secretly..."

Tian Ziqi's relaxed voice made the man in black bow his head with a serious expression, and bowed his hands again.

I don't know if he 'sensed' Tianzi Qi's movements, but the eunuch Ling Chuntuo who was standing aside was finally separated from his previous petrified state.

Hastily arranged the clothes on Tian Ziqi's body, then bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, are you going out of the palace?"

"—um~"

"—Go ask the eunuch to prepare the car."

With his head held high, he adjusted the lace around the neck of the sulfur crown, and the emperor Qi did not forget to continue to say: "You don't need to prepare a royal chariot, just find an ordinary carriage."

"Call me that bastard again, and accompany me to go outside the city."

As soon as these words came out, Chun Tuo hurriedly bowed to accept the order, and then walked towards the outside of the palace with small steps unique to eunuchs.

But after Chuntuo left, Tianzi Qi did not signal the man in black to retreat as usual.

He raised his head thoughtfully, and looked outside the palace gate for a long while, the emperor Qicai turned around with a gloomy face, and glanced at the man in black from the corner of his eye.

"Emperor's eldest son, Rong, was sealed off to Linjiang."

"I heard that after he went to Jiangling, the capital of the kingdom, he was very restless."

"—In order to expand the palace, they even demolished the low wall outside the ancestral temple, encroaching on the area inside the low wall, and making it part of their own palace!"

"You must pay more attention to this matter."

"Collect all the crimes for later use."

The deep voice only made the man in black stunned for a moment!
"The King of Linjiang?"

"Emperor's eldest son set off from Chang'an, but he hasn't arrived at Jiangling, the capital of the kingdom?"

"People haven't arrived in Jiangling yet, how could they expand the palace..."

He asked a 'half-question' with surprise on his face, and the black-clothed talent would finally be happy!

His eyes widened in disbelief, and he raised his head;
After seeing Tian Ziqi's cold eyes staring straight at him, the man in black hurriedly fell to his knees and kowtowed!

"minister······"

"Ming, understand..."

"Chen, let's, let's do it..."
