I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 279 Shaofu, let's go home

"Lu Xiangchen..."

"Comida..."

Under the guidance of Guan Zhonglang, he walked into Weiyang Palace and Xuanshi Hall, and was about to kneel down to pay respects to Uncle Tian, ​​but when he saw the scene in the Xuanshi Hall from the corner of his eyes, he couldn't help but stop Sing it.

Because at this moment, within the range of Uncle Tian's eyes, there appeared something that was not unusual at first, but because it appeared in the Xuanshi Palace, it made people inexplicably terrified...
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Uncle Tian's subconscious murmur did not attract anyone's attention;

Lang Guan on the side seemed to have received the emperor's instructions for Uncle Tian, ​​and he only silently led Uncle Tian to sit down at the banquet at the side of the hall.

It was only at this time that the whole view of the Xuanshi Palace finally came into Uncle Tian's field of vision.

——Young Fuqing Xiao Sheng, kneeling in the hall tremblingly, with his hands propped in front of his body, maintaining a posture that seems to be about to kowtow, or wants to get up after kowtow;

As for Tianzi Qi, Prince Sheng and father and son, they both sat at the top, but they did not sit on the imperial couch, nor did they face Xiao Sheng and Tian Shu in the hall.

This time, it's Liu Sheng's turn to settle...

"Then Qian Fan has already made it..."

"I have explained the matter for more than half a year, but I still haven't taken care of it?"

Because public rides and upwards, they no longer belong to ordinary people, but can already be counted as a small half of officials.

When the little eunuch Xia Que said the following sentence, "Qian Fan has already been prepared", Xiao Sheng finally kowtowed his head in despair.

"—In just over forty years, four generations of grandparents and grandchildren, the title of Marquis of Xiao Xiangguo has already been passed down to my Han family seven times;"

Still staring at the chessboard in front of him, frowning and contemplating the direction of the game, Liu Sheng did not forget to continue to ask "casually": "How is it~"

"It's still between His Majesty and the prince, who are really close to such a degree..."

"I don't know how many people suffer from hunger and cold because they can't afford the eight thousand yuan a stone of grain!"

"I remember Shaofu, he is Xiao Xiangguo's great-grandson, right?"

"From now on, don't tell others that you are the heir of Marquis Feng Wen Zhong;"

"—On that day, the King of Linjiang asked about this matter in the Crown Prince's womb, and His Highness even sent slaves to fetch the money to show the King of Linjiang..."

"I don't have any virtue at all, so Xiangguo's actions made my already superficial virtue even more superficial!!!"

"Hey, father."

Putting on the posture of "Naihe's father and the emperor's son Qi", Liu Sheng let out a long sigh;

After asking the question, Liu Sheng took another deep look at Xiao Sheng, then turned around shaking his head and sighing, and brought his attention back to the chessboard.

It's just that this reaction, Uncle Wada's prediction, or the Tianzi Qi in his memory, is really different.

Even though she was mentally prepared for this question, Xia Que still thought about it carefully and said something carefully before she bent her already bowed waist down a bit.

The reason why it is "the vast majority" rather than "all" is precisely because of the existence of officials at the level of Jiuqing and above like Xiao Sheng...
"Emperor Taizong once had a system: the general will not be humiliated, Xu Gongqing will not bear the torture tools, and will not be sentenced to death."

Seeing Xiao Sheng kowtow to himself and the old man in front of him again, and then stand up with ashen face, Liu Sheng only felt a little bit of unbearable.

When he said the last sentence, Liu Sheng's eyes were no longer fixed on the chessboard in front of him.

"Hmm~"

"His Royal Highness told the slave earlier to find a clay model maker outside Chang'an City to see if he can make a model for melting and casting four baht coins."

As soon as Liu Sheng finished speaking, Xia Que at the side bent down again in a hurry.

——In today’s Han Dynasty, the upper limit of the county-level unit’s conviction is a person whose title is below the public service (eighth rank), excluding public service.

In short: In today's Han family, if an official has reached the level of Xiao Sheng, it is no longer just anyone who can convict Xiao Sheng.

"Hey;"

"—His Royal Highness, you must have forgotten?"

"Well······"

"The craftsman, do you think he has many helpers?"

As Liu Sheng turned his body, the natural smile on Liu Sheng's face was also quietly suppressed.

"As an isolated crown prince, I dare not say 'dispose of'..."

"The craftsman, Qian Fan who can make new four baht coins can't~"

Even leaving aside Xiao Sheng's background as "Xiao He's great-grandson", just being a Jiuqing is already within the scope of "the general will not be humiliated".

"Without being magnificent, there is no way to establish prestige."

After all, if it can be handled generally, the county level will handle it;

The so-called public rides, in the simplest sense, are people who can ride official uniformed buses.

"If it's just an ordinary four baht coin, it will take half the time..."

Facing the thunder and anger of the founding king, Xiao He didn't have the slightest fear, he just bent down with a smile, and slightly bowed his hands to Emperor Taizu Gao.

"Xiangguo is doing a lot of construction and extravagance. Is it to make me even more ashamed to sit on the throne?!"

"From the beginning to the end, the slave only gave the craftsman seven thousand money and one month's time..."

"After Yi Mai, Wuyang Marquis Xiao Ze (sun) and Xiao Jia (sun)..."

After saying that, Tianzi Qi really lowered his head, adjusted his sitting posture a little, and then enthusiastically threw himself into the chess game in front of him.

"The swollen and lazy problem of the Shaofu is something that only happened in the past few years?"

"Hey, Xia Que~"

Between the banquet where the father and son sat, there was a wooden table;
As the hands of the father and son fell alternately, the black and white chess pieces made a crisp 'click' sound on the wooden table with patterns engraved there...
"Young manor's title~"

"The materials and utensils needed to make Qian Fan are all made by the craftsman himself."

Snapped.

Liu Sheng 'asked casually', and Xia Que, who was standing behind Liu Sheng, naturally couldn't answer casually.

About 50 years ago, Xiao He, Xiao Sheng's great-grandfather and founding prime minister of Liu Han Sheji, also stopped here.

Instead, he turned slightly sideways, making a posture that seemed to be bending over to ask Xia Que;
Only that meaningful gaze followed Liu Sheng's slightly sideways head, and quietly cast it on Xiao Sheng, the Shaofu who was kneeling in the hall...
"Return to Your Highness;"

"This matter, the prince will see to it;"

It wasn't until Tianzi Qiluo dropped the chess piece in his hand, and a crisp sound finally distracted Xiao Shengfei, and pulled him back to the Xuanshi Hall in front of him.

In his heart, silently recited this sentence from the mouth of his great-grandfather Xiao He, which has now been spread all over the world, Xiao Sheng finally mustered up the courage, and lifted his deeply buried head slightly.

"The Shaofu is the descendant of Yuan Xun again—the bloodline descendant of Xiao He, the Marquis of Feng Wen, and Xiao Xiangguo."

It was at this time that the father and son, who were playing chess in front of Shaofu Xiao Sheng and Uncle Lu Xiangtian, finally had their first dialogue.

Following Liu Sheng's voice, the chess pieces that Liu Sheng held between his index finger and middle finger also fell at the same time.

Saying so, Liu Sheng did not forget to raise his head slightly, and smiled slightly at his father Liu Qi in front of him.

It was precisely Tian Ziqi's seemingly random perversion that made Xiao Sheng, who knelt and kowtowed in the hall, and Uncle Tian, ​​who was "secretly observing" at the side, couldn't help but arouse his heartstrings.

"It's been less than two years since you left Chang'an, and your majesty's temper has become so gentle?"

Hearing Liu Sheng's rather casual voice, Uncle Tian only widened his eyes slightly in surprise!
That, but Tian Ziqi!
But once, in Chang'an, the prince Qi who was known as "Ji Zi must be repaid" is now the emperor of Han!
Especially at this moment, between the father and son, there is still a chessboard full of chess pieces!

"Don't say that your title of Marquis of Wuyang is to continue the incense for Marquis Fengwen."

···
Snapped!
After the emperor's speech, the hall of Xuanshi fell into a brief silence.

"——Chen, thank you Your Majesty..."

"hey-hey······"

"Even if you can't do it, you have to give a letter of approval early..."

Snapped;
"Marquis Wuyang, go home."

"Oh~"

"How do you remember, it seems to be about money..."

"—An unknown craftsman, with three or five apprentices, spent [-] yuan, and in less than a month, he made the new four-baht coin."

"—oh~"

"On the contrary, it is the Shaofu, which brings together all the famous craftsmen in the world, holding inexhaustible money and property;"

"It's rare for someone to play chess with me, I really can't bear to lose my mind~"

"Uh, it doesn't look like a very old person. Even if there are apprentices, there are no more than three or five at most."

"Lonely with Marquis Wuyang, old;"

But with the sound of "啪"—another falling sound resounded in the hall, Xiao Sheng just mustered up a little courage, and it disappeared immediately.

On his mouth, Liu Sheng still did not forget to utter the last 'mumble'.

The chess piece in his hand also landed on the chessboard in front of him for the last time.

"Look at that craftsman..."

"This is already about Xia June..."

···
"It's not magnificent, it's impossible to stand up..."

"Don't let Tingwei visit the door, and let Wuyang Hou lose face for nothing."

——Counties and counties.

Standing in the main hall of the Xuanshi, which was built on Longshou Mountain and seemed to tower above the clouds, Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang howled angrily.

"When you arrive at the Shaofu, you will be the eighth 'Marquis of Feng'?"

···
"The craftsman also said: This is because the money model this time is different from the previous four-baht money model, and a little more complicated."

···
As early as in Liu Sheng's mouth, when he said the phrase "If you can't do it, you have to give a letter", Xiao Sheng's raised forehead began to bow down;

"Before I was alone, did I explain something to you?"

"There have been hundreds of years of strife in the world, and now there is peace, and Kanto has not even been at peace yet!"

——Xiao Sheng, it's Jiuqing.

···
"—Chen, Xie's family..."

——Xiao Sheng, waiting for the punishment of fate;

Xiao Sheng could also clearly 'see' Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang standing beside his great-grandfather with an angry face.

"--Yes;"

"Didn't I hear that when the first emperor, Emperor Taizong's confession was delayed by the Shaofu for such a long time?"

"It's done so soon?"

"It seems that there is such a thing..."

"Return to Your Highness's words;"

At least it was true before the first emperor adopted Chao Cuo's proposal and used one hand to "lose millet and donate the nobility" to make Qin's [-]th-level military master rotten...
This is the case for county-level units, and the conviction power of county-level units is not much higher than that of county-level units.

"As the emperor, I am walking on thin ice, trembling!"

When he arrived at Ting Wei, there were obviously many more people and things he could handle.

"Ok?"

"That's a strange thing."

"Thinking about it, Xiao Xiangguo has a soul in the sky, and he can't afford to lose this person..."

"It's done so quickly, it should cost a lot, right?"

If you really encounter a hot potato with a monstrous background and two thousand stones can't cure it, no matter it is a county or a county, you can only send it to Chang'an Tingwei.

"—It's more than two, almost three months ago."

"Well······"

Said something thoughtfully, and finally turned the body kneeling in front of the chessboard a little.

On the side of the imperial couch, the palace people set up two banquets facing each other, with only one step in between;
The father and son sat apart at the banquet on both sides with a distance of one step, facing Xiao Sheng and Uncle Tian in the hall.

But the chess game between Tianzi Qi and the prince winning the father and son is far from over...
"Oh?"

"Don't just take some old Qian Fan to fool people, right?"

——Except for aristocratic felons above Jueguanneihou who deserve to die for their crimes, and clan royals born with a golden key in their mouths, Tingwei needs to ask for instructions, and Tingwei can handle most of the other situations independently.

After an unknown amount of time, Tianzi Qi's deep and cold voice finally sounded from the chess table next to the imperial couch.

"Um······"

Counties and counties, to put it bluntly, county-level units are, in a sense, high-profile county-level units.

It seemed to be addressed to Xia Que, and it seemed to whisper to himself, but Liu Sheng didn't lift his head, just lowered his head slightly, and looked straight ahead at the chess game that had entered the middle game.

——Xiao Sheng is not distracted;
But at that moment, Xiao Sheng's mood was inexplicably pulled back to the past decades ago, when Liu Han founded the country and the world was waiting for prosperity.

Hearing Xia Que's soft voice unique to eunuchs, Uncle Tian, ​​who had been watching from the side of the hall, finally realized something vaguely.

"Counting it all down, from Wenzhong Hou Xiao Xiangguo, Aihou Xiaolu (son), Hou Madam Tong (wife), to Dinghou Xiaoyan (son), Yanghou Xiaoyi (grandson);"

If the local government can't handle it, it's often difficult for the sheriff's office to handle it.

And at the top, in front of the chessboard on the side of the imperial couch, Liu Sheng only looked at the Shaofu Xiao Sheng, but asked Xia Que a few questions;

While Uncle Tian was thinking secretly, Tianzi Qi, who was kneeling in front of the chessboard with a gentle face and concentrating on the chess game, finally reacted.

But this fleeting tenderness turned into the last wooden nail on Xiao Sheng's coffin when Xiao Sheng was about to step out of the palace gate...

"This decency, Marquis Wuyang, must not..."

"Ugh······"

"—Let's go~"

"Go..."
