I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 251 Wei Qi is complacent

I am guilty of all crimes;
All parties are guilty, and I am guilty...

Tianzi Qi finally said these words.

Thousands of years ago, Yao Zen was located in Shun, and Shun respectfully said to Yao: "Give the boy shoes, dare to use Xuan Mu, and dare to tell the emperor and empress: If you are guilty, you will not be pardoned, and the emperor will not hide it. Simplicity is in the heart of the emperor."I am guilty, and there is no one to blame; all parties are guilty, and I am guilty.

At that time, Shun uttered the phrase "All parties are guilty, and I am guilty of the crime." He wanted to tell Yao, who had given him the seat of Zen: I will be responsible to the world, become a qualified monarch, and live up to your trust.

But today, the emperor Qi used the same sentence as the conclusion of this court meeting, but it did not mean the same thing.

——The emperor used such a sentence to block the scapegoat of "unclear governance" for the prime minister he personally selected.

But it is obvious: Tianzi Qi is not so kind;
Zhou Yafu, the current Emperor Qi, doesn't have that much patience...
·
"At the beginning, the emperor wanted to worship Zhou Yafu as his prime minister. I know that the emperor wanted to use this to take back Zhou Yafu's military power;"

"But now it seems that it is a very wrong decision to let Zhou Yafu be the prime minister..."

"—Emperor, think again."

"We can no longer allow Zhou Yafu to ruin the miasma of the prime minister's mansion, and ruin the ancestral temple and shrine left by Emperor Taizong Xiaowen to a disastrous state..."

In the afternoon of the same day, Changle Palace and Changxin Palace.

Regarding the arrival of Tianzi Qi, Liu Sheng and his son, Empress Dowager Dou was not surprised to be smiling;

But from the mouth of the emperor, after hearing what happened in today's court meeting, Empress Dowager Dou's joy was only replaced by a moment of melancholy.

Hearing Empress Dowager Dou's inexplicable melancholy, Tianzi Qi also nodded slowly, and then heaved a long sigh with mixed emotions.

"Ah~"

"My Han family has always made no distinction between civil and military, and there is even a rule of 'non-princes shall not be prime ministers'."

"Theoretically speaking, anyone who becomes a prime minister should have the ability to govern the army with military power and the ability to govern the people with civil power."

"I just don't know this week Yafu..."

As he spoke, Tianzi Qi shook his head and sighed again, obviously agreeing with his mother, Empress Dowager Dou.

Seeing Tian Ziqi's melancholy and distressed appearance, Empress Dowager Dou let out a long sigh leisurely, and then turned to look sideways;
That is to say, at the same time as looking at Liu Sheng, Empress Dowager Dou subconsciously brought a little gentleness and kindness into her eyes.

"Why didn't you hold your breath today?"

"No matter how you say it, that's the current prime minister who eats money and ten thousand stones, an extremely human minister;"

"How can the crown prince easily offend you?"

Feeling the kindness that almost turned into instinct when his grandmother looked at him, Liu Sheng planned to get up and rub the acupuncture points around the eye sockets for his grandmother;

But after hearing these questions from Empress Dowager Dou, on Liu Sheng's face, which had been wearing a submissive smile a moment ago, there was only a touch of gloom resembling Tianzi Qi.

He lowered his head with a gloomy expression, took another deep breath, and raised his head rather depressed.

"Grandson, why don't you know..."

"If he hadn't been forced to this position, no matter how grandson is, he wouldn't stand up and criticize the current prime minister..."

···
"In the past period of time, Zhou Yafu has repeatedly made things difficult for his grandson."

"—If you can take care of your own job, then that's fine;"

"However, he, Zhou Yafu, only cared about embarrassing his grandson. He didn't care about himself or the job of the prime minister."

"Recalling these things, my grandson felt a fit of anger in his heart, but he couldn't do it again."

"I also thought of the hard work Yu Yu suffered when the teacher was there. The more my grandson looked at him, Zhou Yafu, the more unpleasant it was..."

At the end, Liu Sheng lowered his head depressedly, and shrugged helplessly.

Seeing his precious grandson, like a frost-beaten eggplant, shrugging his body and sighing, a helpless wry smile quietly appeared on the face of Queen Mother Dou.

Wen smiled and moved around, groping for Liu Sheng's hand, and patted it lightly;

Sighing again, he shifted his dim and unfocused eyes to Tianzi Qi on the other side.

"That's fine."

"After all, he is the prince of my Han family, the heir of the emperor's blood;"

"——even more in the future, he will inherit this ancestral temple and the prince of the country."

"If you don't even have this kind of temper, you can't be looked down upon by foreigners, thinking that my Han family has another Emperor Xiaohui?"

Concealed to excuse Liu Sheng's actions today, Queen Dowager Dou turned her head and looked at Liu Sheng beside her again.

"This time, that's all."

"If you encounter similar things in the future, you should think twice and be cautious."

"—Prince Chujun, although he is also a 'jun', he is still only a prince after all."

"If it's not necessary, try not to conflict with court officials, especially important ministers like the prime minister."

"At least we can't bring up private disagreements like today."

···
"A lot of things are like this."

"—If it is not put on the table, there is still room for maneuver;"

"But once it's put on the table, there's no room for change..."

"understood?"

Listening to his grandmother's persuasive teachings, the gloomy look on Liu Sheng's face gradually dissipated;
When Empress Dowager Dou finally asked, "Understood", Liu Sheng also nodded thoughtfully, and then grinned at his grandmother.

"Grandson understands."

"We must bear in mind the teachings of the emperor's grandmother today. Unless necessary, the grandson will not quarrel with the court officials again to the point of 'unreversible'."

"It's just Zhou Yafu..."

But seeing Empress Dowager Dou hearing the words, she just nodded with a chuckle, then exhaled slowly, cast her gaze to an unknown place, and was in a daze to herself;

After a while, he said leisurely, "Let Zhou Yafu take the initiative to resign."

"Back then, when the first emperor dismissed the post of prime minister as Marquis of Beiping, there was a lot of discussion among the people, and it took several years to get back to life;"

"Zhou Yafu is the chancellor, although he is not as good as the Marquis of Beiping, he manages the prime minister's mansion in an orderly manner, and has taken root in the foreign court for many years, but the word 'dismissing the prime minister' is not very pleasant..."

With a gentle, calm, and inexplicably reassuring tone, the self-provoking Emperor Kai nodded approvingly.

I really wanted to say yes, but I heard that Empress Dowager Dou suddenly changed the subject: "As for Zhou Yafu after..."

"—Prince Taifu, Dou Ying will not do it;"

"This prime minister..."

"Um······"

"The emperor believes that according to Dou Ying's knowledge, he may be qualified for the post of prime minister???"

The sudden question made Tianzi Qi, Liu Sheng and his son both stunned!
Dou Ying?

Prime Minister?

This!
"The emperor, the emperor's grandmother;"

"Cousin, but to be a prince to your grandson..."

"——letting my cousin be the prime minister, isn't it just another title?"

"By then, my grandson will never be like today..."

Talking with anxiety on his face, Liu Sheng couldn't help but roll his eyes, turning his gaze to Tianzi Qi who was on the other side of Empress Dowager Dou.

The vivid eyes that wished to speak were clearly saying: Father, please speak a few words!
Tian Ziqi turned a blind eye to Liu Sheng's gaze asking for help;
He lowered his head thoughtfully, pretending to think for a moment, then raised his head slightly with a stiff smile, and shook his head at Empress Dou with a smile.

"Wei Qihou is probably not suitable to be the prime minister..."

"Wei Qihou Dou Ying, like Zhou Yafu today, is a hero who defeated Wu and Chu."

"Let Dou Ying be prime minister, I'm afraid there is no difference from Zhou Yafu being prime minister..."

The euphemistic and cryptic words of refusal only caused Empress Dou to darken again, obviously dissatisfied with Emperor Qi;

Seeing this, Tianzi Qi had no choice but to sigh again, and then continued: "Does the queen mother think that it is because of stinginess that the son refused to let Wei Qihou be the prime minister?"

"It's really Wei Qihou Dou Ying, a person who feels good about himself and is easy to be complacent;"

"It's really hard for a person who does things rashly and frivolously to take on important responsibilities, let alone become a prime minister..."

Tell the true thoughts in his heart as completely as possible in front of Empress Dowager Dou. Seeing that Empress Dowager Dou's complexion still hasn't recovered, Tian Ziqi can only shake his head and smile wryly, bowing his head to himself.

After a long time, I added another sentence like resignation: "Let's practice and practice again~"

"Wait until he becomes more mature and stable, and then let him be the prime minister..."

"The queen mother thinks, how about this?"

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Dou's tense face relaxed a little;

As if he couldn't let go of his face, he said a few words to Tian Ziqi, "Then let him hone his mind at home first", and finally he didn't continue to delve into this topic.

Empress Dowager Dou let go and no longer insisted that Dou Ying be the prime minister. The father and son sitting on both sides of Empress Dowager Dou breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Tianzi Qi was better, he finally didn't let his emotions fluctuate, and showed the slightest on his face;

Liu Sheng was obviously far behind in rank - just as Empress Dowager Dou let go, Liu Sheng's face was visible to the naked eye with a look of 'lingering fear'.

What a joke!
If Dou Ying is really going to be the prime minister, not mentioning government affairs and state affairs for now, just Dou Ying's weird attitude towards Liu Sheng is enough to make Liu Sheng sleepless and miserable day and night!

——Dou Ying has always been unwilling to accept the reality of Liu Sheng being the prince;
Even because of the Empress Dowager Dou, Zhang Wuhou Dou Guangguo and other elders, Dou Ying did not put "I don't want Liu Sheng to be a prince" on his face like Zhou Yafu did, but he just didn't put it on his face. .

Of course Liu Sheng understood: Cousin Dou Ying is unlikely to be as stubborn as Zhou Yafu, asking the emperor to set up the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong.

But the mere possibility of "may be unfriendly to me" is enough for Liu Sheng to do everything he can to prevent his cousin Dou Ying from becoming the new prime minister after Zhou Yafu.

This has nothing to do with the private education of the two, nor does it have anything to do with Liu Sheng's attitude towards his grandmother, Queen Mother Dou, and Dou's relatives;

Just because of his current status, Liu Sheng instinctively wants to avoid such risks.

——A person who is dissatisfied with himself as the prince is at risk of becoming the prime minister of the dynasty.

That's all...
"Dou Ying, you are no longer the crown prince and Taifu."

"The new prince and Taifu, has the emperor considered it?"

"—Xiao Jiu has been the prince for some time;"

"Don't let the Crown Prince and Taifu go, and teach you the righteousness of the scriptures, at Xiaojiu's age..."

After finishing the topic of 'Can Dou Ying be prime minister', the hall of Changxin was quiet for a long, long time.

By the time Empress Dowager Dou asked Tian Ziqi about his candidate for the crown prince, it was around dusk.

Maybe it was just a moment ago, which taught the emperor a lesson;

Just as Empress Dowager Dou raised a question this time, Tianzi Qi, as if he was afraid that his words would be snatched away, spoke first uncharacteristically: "It's almost there."

"—Lang Zhong Ling Wei Wan is a loyal elder;"

"The virtues and learning are very good, and he is a generation, and he was highly praised by the late emperor."

"When the first emperor was dying, he once said to his ministers: Wei Wan is a loyal elder, treat him well."

···
"During the Wu-Chu Rebellion last year, Wei Wan also participated in the suppression of the rebellion as a general, and made some contributions."

"It shouldn't be a problem for a person like this who is virtuous, knowledgeable, and capable of martial arts to be the prince and tutor."

"What does the queen mother think?"

Without hesitation, he put forward the candidate he had chosen, and even gave a thoughtful introduction. Finally, the emperor Qicai asked: What does the queen mother think?
With such a posture, Empress Dowager Dou also understood Tian Ziqi's worries, so she didn't say much about this candidate.

"Um······"

"Wei Wan, I have a little impression."

"Honesty, duty, he is indeed a kind person."

"The emperor thinks it's okay, so let this Wei Wan be Xiao Jiu's prince and tutor."

"In addition to Prince Fu, there are accompanying students and book boys of the same age, and the emperor also wants to serve snacks."

"——Prince Crown Prince is related to the future of the ancestral temple and the country;"

"Everyone who appears around the prince must be sloppy..."

When Empress Dowager Dou said this in a deep voice, Emperor Qizi nodded his head in a hurry.

After patiently listening to Empress Dowager Dou's explanation of other matters, and then answering everything, Emperor Qicai finally stood up slowly, and slowly bowed his hands to his mother.

"It's getting late, son, I'm leaving now;"

"Tomorrow, my son plans to take the prince to Shanglinyuan to have a look."

"It won't be too long, and I will return in three to five days at most."

"During this period of time, I will take care of the affairs of the imperial court..."

"--Ok······"

"—go;"

"—Remember to be careful on the way back and forth."

Seeing his father getting up to ask for resignation, Liu Sheng had no reason to stay for a long time. He also stood up from the couch and bid farewell to Empress Dowager Dou.

After the grandmother nodded with a gentle smile and said something like "come and see me often", the father and son left quietly from the Changxin Hall under the dim eyes of Empress Dowager Dou.

On the way out of Changxin Hall and on the way to the palace gate, the father and son started talking, not surprisingly.

"Grandmother, I really want my cousin..."

"why?"

"—Go back and think about it yourself;"

"—Tomorrow morning at Maoshi, wait at Simamen."

"Oh······"

·
"Then Weiwan..."

"Can I see you first?"

"—Let's talk about it later."

"Oh······"

　Sore nose, runny nose, tears all the time...
　　I can't even keep my eyes open, hey.

　　Fathers, be careful and take care of your health~
　　Good night~
