I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 240 Your Highness, the Prime Minister has a request...

After a brief exchange with Mrs. Bo and his mother, Empress Jia, Liu Sheng stopped talking briefly.

After making eye contact with their elder brother Liu Pengzu, the two brothers got up and left the Jiaofang Hall, leaving this rare opportunity to be alone with Mrs. Bo and Queen Jia—two women with almost identical temperaments but diametrically opposite destinies people.

As soon as he walked out of Jiaofang Hall and walked on the palace road between Jiaofang Hall and Sima Gate, Liu Pengzu couldn't hold back his doubts and asked Liu Sheng bluntly.

"Ash, do you really think so?"

"—I really want my mother to teach my mother how to be a queen, instead of letting my mother inherit the queen's favor?"

Liu Pengzu asked softly, and Liu Sheng smiled warmly.

He didn't bother to discuss with his elder brother who should be called mother and who should be called mother, so he just smiled and lowered his head, and generously admitted his intentions.

"The queen mother and mother have very similar temperaments."

"—these are all resigned, honest and responsible temperaments;"

"If the mother doesn't know how to be a queen, then the queen mother doesn't know how to be a queen either."

"Just now, what I said to my queen mother is exactly what my brother said: I want my mother to inherit my mother's favor."

"It's also good for my mother to think more about her mother in the future, so that she won't be separated from her mother because of her brother's adoption..."

The conjecture was verified, especially when Liu Sheng admitted without hesitation, and Liu Pengzu put on an easy-going smile on his doubtful face.

The next topic of the two brothers, however, naturally shifted to the matter that Liu Sheng mentioned just now.

——Empress Jia, who has just received the royal title, needs to summon Mrs. Cheng and Tang Ji from the Xuanming Palace, and Wang Meiren from the Qilan Palace to the Jiaofang Palace to establish their status as the Queen of the Palace.

Regarding this matter, Liu Sheng was only in the Jiaofang Hall, but he did not lie: Empress Jia, I am afraid that I really cannot handle this matter well...

"Right now, my mother is still worried about moving into the Jiaofang Palace;"

"Let my mother call Mrs. Cheng, Tang Ji, and Wang Meiren to the Jiaofang, I'm afraid it's..."

"——In the past, even when the empress dowager was still there, the empress mother never did this."

"With the support of the Empress Dowager, and the empress mother who was still living in Jiaofang Palace at that time, she never did this;"

"Today's mother, I'm afraid it's even more..."

Hearing his brother's worried words, Liu Sheng still shook his head with a relaxed smile.

He bowed his head and thought for a while, before he said another word, which made Liu Pengzu feel completely at ease.

"There's nothing to worry about about this."

"——The imperial edict to enshrine my mother as empress was issued by the emperor's grandmother;"

"As long as mother can remember, go to the emperor's grandmother for advice, and the emperor's grandmother will definitely give advice to mother."

···
"It's true that my mother is still in a panic right now, and she definitely won't be able to think of going to the imperial grandmother."

"But after what happened today, the queen mother received my plea, but she really couldn't give her advice, so she would definitely remind her to ask the Pope's grandmother..."

The relaxed and freehand words only made Liu Pengzu's worry disappear, and he turned his head reassuringly, and grinned at Liu Sheng.

This matter was also easily skipped by the two brothers in a few words.

Of course the two brothers understood: in the Qilan Palace, there was a beautiful Wang, with her son Liu Zhi who had already been crowned king, but was unable to take over because of his young age, and was staring at Liu Sheng, Queen Jia's mother and son.

But right now, it's not the time to think about these things.

Or it should be said: For Wang Meiren, Liu Zhi's mother and son, and the two brothers, they have already reached an agreement on coping strategies.

——See the tricks and disassemble them, and respond to all changes with the same.

besides······
"Oh, yes;"

"Wuyan's, it was Ah Sheng who proposed to the emperor to send Zhidu to inspect it?"

The short silence was broken by Liu Pengzu's question without any warning, which also made Liu Sheng's face stiffen a little.

But when Liu Pengzu asked this question, he turned sideways with some playfulness, and looked at Liu Sheng, which gradually became more meaningful.

"Ah Sheng, was it on purpose?"

"——Asheng knows that the Wuyan clan is an ally of the Changlingtian clan, and is also considered as half of Wang Meiren's minion;"

"So, Ah Sheng took advantage of the food matter to get rid of the Wuyan family, so as to break Wang Meiren's arm?"

With a few words to the point, Liu Pengzu had already revealed Liu Sheng's previous intention of proposing to Emperor Qi to 'copy the Wuyan family'.

And Liu Sheng has obviously long been used to his brother's sensational perception and observation.

Smiling a little shyly, he turned his head slightly, acquiescing to Liu Pengzu's statement.

But after a while, Liu Sheng also revealed his other intentions in this matter that Liu Pengzu hadn't seen through.

"The main reason for getting rid of the Wuyan family is the overall consideration."

"Secondly, it is out of my selfish desire."

···
"Ziqian Merchant Wuyan's collusion with Changlingtian's clan and close contact with Qilan Temple is indeed a reason that cannot be ignored."

"But the most critical issue is: this year, almost all the merchants in Guanzhong have been involved in the food business;"

"On the contrary, the Changling Tian family, the largest grain merchant in Guanzhong, did not interfere at all."

"As the saying goes: when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits;"

"If you don't take advantage of this food incident to get rid of the Wuyan family, the merchants in the entire Guanzhong will be hit;"

"By next year, there will be no merchants in Guanzhong who are willing to do grain business anymore. From now on, the grain business in Guanzhong will be dominated by the Changlingtian family..."

···
"Yu Gong, Changling Tian's family dominates, which is not conducive to the stability of the ancestral temple and the community;"

"Privately, every money earned by Changling Tian's control of the grain in Guanzhong will become the sharp spears and sharp knives that the Queen of Qilan Palace will use to deal with me."

"——In order not to let the Changlingtian family reap the benefits of this fisherman, I can only save other grain merchants."

"In this case, Mrs. Wuyan must die."

"As for cutting off the arms of Changlingtian clan and Wang Meiren by getting rid of Wuyan clan, it's just incidental..."

His expression was indifferent, but his tone of voice was inexplicably serious, which only made Liu Pengzu at the side lose his mind for a while.

After Liu Sheng finished speaking, he lowered his head and thought for a while, before Liu Pengzu nodded slowly.

Afterwards, he turned sideways and raised his eyebrows at Liu Sheng with a smile: "Not bad~"

"It's only been a few days, and you already look like a prince and prince?"

Hearing this, Liu Sheng smiled, and then went down the slope.

"Hi······"

"You can't be a crown prince and return it to your elder brother and embarrass your mother?"

"——It's also the past, brother taught you well..."

The business bragging between you and me made the two brothers chuckle;
Even though Liu Sheng has become the prince, the relationship between the two brothers is still as close as ever.

As the atmosphere became more relaxed, Liu Pengzu naturally began to bring up some sensitive but unavoidable topics.

"At the beginning of last year, when the Wu-Chu rebellion broke out, my father made Marquis Tiao a lieutenant and ordered him to lead an army to suppress the rebellion."

"—At that time, it seemed that Wuyan was the one who lent military expenses to Marquis Tiao?"

"Hey!"

"One thousand gold coins, including the principal and interest, is a full ten thousand gold!"

After saying something inexplicably, Liu Pengzu turned around with a smile that was not a smile, and raised his eyebrows at Liu Sheng again.

"Thinking about that incident, it also made Zhou Yafu's teeth itch with hatred for Wuyan?"

"I learned that Wuyan's family was ruined because Ah Sheng proposed to the emperor that Tiao Hou, maybe he can also accept Ah Sheng's favor?"

Hearing his elder brother talking about Tiao Hou Zhou Yafu, Liu Sheng still had a slight smile on his face, but there was a lingering cloud over his brows.

It's like the word "Tiaohou" is enough to make Liu Sheng, who is now the crown prince, feel depressed.

He forced a smile on his face for a while, but finally couldn't hold back the smile on his face, and Liu Sheng simply didn't hold back;

With an unaffected expression on his face, he shook his head gloomyly, and let out a soft sigh.

"Brother, I don't know something..."

"—When the imperial edict to make my mother a queen and appoint me a prince was issued, I thought so too."

"I thought it was because I took the initiative to get rid of the Wuyan family and vented my anger on Zhou Yafu's behalf, so that Zhou Yafu did not continue to oppose his father in the matter of conferring the queen and canonizing the prince."

"But a few days ago, I went to ask the imperial grandmother."

"—The only thing the prime minister can stop is the emperor's edict;"

"Only the emperor's imperial edict involving the great affairs of the country can the prime minister stop something by 'refusing to use the seal'."

"But the Prime Minister has no right to interfere with the Empress Dowager's decree, no matter what it involves..."

The depressing words also made Liu Pengzu frown suddenly;

His eyes rolled around, but his complexion became even uglier.

"So Zhou Yafu didn't change his mind?"

"My mother was conferred the title of Empress, and Ah Sheng was canonized as Crown Prince. It's not because Zhou Yafu 'stopped it anymore', but because he wanted to stop it, but was unable to stop it?"

Asking anxiously, Liu Sheng only nodded bitterly, and Liu Pengzu's expression darkened immediately.

The two brothers were shoulder to shoulder, walking in unison, with their hands behind their backs, and they both looked like water.

Just like that all the way back to the womb, the two brothers never spoke again.

In the end, it was still Liu Sheng who had no choice but to put a temporary stop to this matter.

"I have thought about the prime minister's malice towards me for a long time."

"——the only reasonable explanation is because of the words 'establishing a family and establishing a leader'."

"It's true that my father made my mother the queen first, and then made me, the 'eldest son', the heir apparent. There is nothing wrong with the etiquette."

"But in the eyes of Prime Minister Zhou, mother, the queen, is not the original wife of the father; and I, the 'only son of the queen', am not the real eldest son."

"So, the prime minister's stubbornness in this matter is most likely due to the fact that the father abolished the eldest son and established the youngest - the elder brother who was the eldest son was sealed off to Kanto, but let me, the nine sons of the concubine, become the crown prince... ···”

···
"Since this is the reason why Prime Minister Zhou is so stubborn, then this matter cannot be changed by my two brothers."

"Father also asked me not to interfere in this matter, and it was all planned by Father himself."

"——I'm [-]% sure that my father will be able to handle this matter in the end."

"But I'm afraid of my father, who will be anxious by Zhou Yafu's stubbornness, and then do something like when he designed to frame the teacher..."

Arriving outside the gate of the Crown Prince's womb, the two brothers also stopped.

When Liu Sheng expressed all the worries in his heart in a helpless tone, Liu Pengzu could only nod his head in agreement, and let out a short sigh in the same helpless way.

"Even if you are worried, what can you do?"

"—Then, it's the prime minister..."

"Especially Zhou Yafu, who soared to the sky with his martial arts, was directly worshiped as a lieutenant from a lieutenant, and then transferred from a lieutenant to a prime minister!"

···
"Father is right."

"Ah Sheng can't interfere in this matter;"

"—This is not something that the crown prince can solve or intervene in."

"As for how the father will deal with this matter and how to deal with Zhou Yafu..."

"Hi~"

"Even if the father is really like that in the past, whoever secretly instigates to tear down the wall somewhere;"

"Ashin, what can I do..."

"Apart from watching, Ah Sheng, what else can we do?"

The rather embarrassing words also caused Liu Sheng to shake his head and bow his head with a wry smile.

After standing silently for a moment, his fingers subconsciously protruded to the side of the neck, where the collarbone that could still find the gully...

However, three or two years ago, the same old stubborn bull forced the then Emperor Qi to secretly instruct Chao Cuo to dig open the outer wall of the Taimiao;

However, Liu Sheng, who entered by accident, destroyed the emperor's plan, and was angrily thrown by the emperor Qihan, and broke one side of his collarbone.

——That's all because Liu Sheng 'didn't know about it' and took advantage of the righteousness!
Due to the righteousness of "protecting the temple", coupled with factors such as "young and ignorant" and "young and mad", Liu Shengcai withdrew from that incident at the cost of a broken collarbone.

But now, the situation is very different.

——The current Liu Sheng is already the crown prince of the Han family, not the "nine sons of the emperor" in the past;
——Liu Sheng's mother is already Empress Jia who lives in Jiaofang Palace, not the 'Mrs. Jia' who lived in Guangming Palace in the past.

As for Tian Ziqi, although it was the same as last time, he wanted to deal with the prime minister of the Han family, but this time, Tian Ziqi wanted to deal with the prime minister Zhou Yafu because of Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng became the prince, and Mrs. Jia became the queen. The emperor Qi was busy trying to find a way to teach Zhou Yafu, the prime minister, who prevented Liu Sheng and the mother and son of the empress Jia from "ascension to heaven".

In such a situation, what should Liu Sheng do?
What can I do?
No matter what the starting point is, whether it is a rational judgment or the limitation of objective conditions, Liu Sheng's only choice is to wait.

Waiting for Zhou Yafu, after Emperor Qi's ruthless training, to make a choice between "bow your head and admit your mistakes" or "seek your own death".

"Ah~"

"I don't know who will be the prime minister of my Han family after Tiaohou..."

The two brothers were relatively speechless, and they stood outside the main entrance of the Grand Palace with gloomy expressions for a long time;
It wasn't until Liu Sheng's mixed feelings of bitterness and helplessness that the two brothers cheered up again, turned sideways, and walked towards the crown prince's womb together.

While walking, Liu Pengzu did not forget to express his relief and joked, "As long as it's not Zhou Yafu, everything will be fine, right?"

"After all, no one is as stubborn as Zhou Yafu, and stubborn to the point of unreasonable..."

···
"However, after Zhou Yafu, Chao Cuo should have the best chance to be prime minister, right?"

"—that dog thief?!"

"——The dog thief who dared to dig the outer wall of the Taimiao?!!"

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"I'm afraid that incident won't make Royal Father change his view of Chao Cuo?"

"—That's impossible!"

"—Not even Chehou, but still want to be the prime minister?"

"--Humph!!!"

···
"Then besides Chao Cuo, who else could it be?"

"--Ok······"

"—Most likely it's Tao Qing."

"—Tao Qing was promoted to the prime minister, and Chao Cuo was replaced as the royal doctor;"

"and then?"

"Just like the past few years, remote control Tao Qing behind his back?"

"—It depends on what the emperor wants."

"—there is a high probability that this is the case."

···
"Tao Qing~"

"Even if you become the prime minister, you shouldn't be able to do it for too long?"

During the conversation, the two brothers had already walked into the womb of the crown prince, and came to the side hall where Liu Sheng temporarily set up the "grain sales office" a few months ago.

Not long after he moved in, Liu Sheng hadn't had time to take the time to rearrange the uterus.

Therefore, when the two entered the side hall, the furnishings in the side hall were almost the same as a few months ago.

As for Liu Pengzu's last question, Liu Sheng failed to give an answer.

——To be precise, I haven't had time to answer...
"Your Highness."

He was lowering his head, thinking about the possibility that 'Tao Qing will not be prime minister for too long', when a soft voice came to his ears, causing Liu Sheng to raise his head subconsciously.

As far as Liu Sheng could see, Zhongshang Yi Zhongjuan (the head of the eunuch of the imperial palace) Xia Que, who had just been appointed, was standing outside the palace gate a little uneasy, holding a letter of worship.

"Prime Minister, please pass by the door..."

"—Prime Minister?!"

As soon as Xia Que finished speaking, the two brothers exclaimed in unison!
After Xia Que nodded anxiously, then walked forward under Liu Sheng's signal, and handed over the invitation card, which was mainly made of wood, wrapped in cloth and folded left and right, and the two brothers hurriedly bent down, each Lean your body toward each other.

With a rigorous attitude of 'not daring to miss a word', after carefully checking the greeting post, the two brothers straightened up looking at each other again;

From each other's eyes, the two brothers saw the same astonishment and bewilderment as themselves...
"Zhou Yafu..."

"What does it mean?"

Liu Pengzu was the first to ask the question, causing Liu Sheng to shake his head in a daze.

He lowered his head resolutely after thinking about it, and looked at the greeting card again, and Liu Sheng's brows became more and more suspicious.

"Ordinary people handing out greeting cards, don't they all want to visit the door in person, say hello to the host in advance, and make the host ready to welcome guests?"

"Why did Zhou Yafu ask me to find him in this invitation?"

"—and still going to Beiying???"

Of course, Liu Pengzu couldn't give an answer to Liu Sheng's doubts.

But after a long time of thinking, Liu Pengzu finally straightened up with a stern expression, turned sideways full of solemnity, and looked at the younger brother in front of him.

"What does Ash want to do?"

"This Beiying, to go, or not to go?"

Hearing this, Liu Sheng was dumbfounded;
After a short period of thinking, I fell into a long stunned...

——Zhou Yafu, what do you want to do? ? ?
——Zhou Yafu, what exactly do you intend to do? ? ? ? ? ?
