I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 282 Chao Cuo is a very poor internal history
After learning that Uncle Tian's focus was on the relationship between himself and his father, Tianzi Qi, Liu Sheng just stayed where he was, unable to recover from his astonishment for a long time.

Liu Sheng thought about it this time, Uncle Tian might focus on the present, money and food are mixed together, and hidden dangers gradually appear;
I also thought that Uncle Tian would focus on the problems, difficulties and corresponding countermeasures that the court is facing today.

However, no matter what, Liu Sheng never thought that Uncle Tian not only dared to pay attention to this matter, but even said it in front of him without any hesitation.

For this, Liu Sheng was unprepared before...
"The difference between monarch and minister..."

"Monarch and subject..."

As if still unable to recover from the astonishment, Liu Sheng finally forced himself to regain his senses from the previous slightly bewildered state.

After forced a couple of laughs and taking the opportunity to think about what to say, Liu Sheng raised his head with a smile, and grinned at Uncle Tian again.

"I understand what Mr. Ziqing means."

"As a subject, especially a minister of a vassal state, not a courtier, it is really not easy for Ziqing to consider these things;"

"Being able to tell me these worries calmly makes me respect Ziqing."

"In Chao Cuo's heart, there is only that piece of paper "Strategy to Cut Fans"..."

"To put it bluntly: After Chao Cuo was promoted from the internal history to the imperial censor, the affairs of the internal history have hardly changed at all."

Emperor Qi asked again: "Why?"

Such a requirement does not seem high;

"Right now, the court is also advancing step by step to further deprive the power of the suzerain princes of the Kanto, so as to prevent another rebellion of the clan princes that will affect half of the world in our Han family."

Hearing Liu Sheng's statement, Uncle Tian's livid face finally softened a little;
And when Liu Sheng talked about how in the past few years, Chao Cuo held the official position of the internal history, but "did not do business" all day long and was busy promoting his "Strategy to Cut Fans", Uncle Tian finally frowned and agreed nodded slowly.

——Tao Qing, the prime minister, is fine;

Being appointed as Jiuqing was already a certainty after that incident back then...

"—For this question, I can only answer Mr. Ziqing: My Han family needs a dedicated internal history."

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Sheng suppressed his smile and let out a long sigh;
The conversation box was completely opened up with Liu Sheng's long sigh full of embarrassment and nostalgia.

Afterwards, Uncle Tian, ​​who thoroughly found out the truth, didn't stay in Suiyang for even a single one. He saw the truth he had found out brought back to Chang'an, and put it in front of Emperor Qi, Empress Dowager Dou and his mother without reservation.

"Just this thing..."

As for Uncle Tian, ​​embarrassment suddenly appeared on Liu Sheng's face after he said, "You underestimate me too much".

"Because my father once said: There are some things that cannot be read in front of the desk or heard from others."

"For Mr. Ziqing to have such worries, I can only think that Mr. Ziqing is worthy of being the pillar of the country..."

Therefore, Emperor Qi decided to deal with the matter in a low-key manner, and asked Uncle Tian to go to Changle Palace in person to tell Queen Mother Dou everything in person.

——Liu Sheng doesn't want much;
——Liu Sheng doesn't need Uncle Tian to be the internal historian, so he can give him whatever he wants and give the green light to all his affairs.

"So, the scope of control of our Han family now includes the entire world including Guanzhong, Guandong, and the northern border counties and Bashu."

"Mr. Ziqing is an old official who has personally experienced the ups and downs of courts since the time of Emperor Taizu Gao;"

"—If Your Majesty accepts His Highness's recommendation and appoints a minister as an internal historian, what should the minister focus on?"

Sensing Uncle Tian's reaction, and his attitude of "you talk, I'll listen", Liu Sheng just shook his head and forced a smile again.

At that time, the Wu-Chu Rebellion had ended, and the vitality of the Kwantung princes was severely damaged, and they no longer posed much threat to the Chang'an Central Committee;

"This is because the power and responsibility of the internal history is almost that of a junior prime minister;"

"—Only by doing these things yourself can you understand what kind of problems and obstacles will arise, and you can learn how to solve these problems and eliminate these obstacles."

"Of course what Ziqing said makes sense."

"To be precise, it was Chao Cuo who promoted the "Strategy to Cut Fans"."

Let him hold the airs of the prime minister, yes;

——Uncle Tian, ​​he is really a very suitable candidate for internal history...

"Especially after Chao Cuo..."

It only needs that Uncle Tian can be a qualified internal historian, do what he should do well, and manage Guanzhong in an orderly manner, that's enough.

Seeing Liu Sheng shaking his head with a smile, he continued: "When Emperor Taizu Gao, my Han family did not appoint an internal historian for a long time."

And Uncle Tian's next reaction completely confirmed Liu Sheng's conjecture.

"And a qualified internal history is extremely important for someone like Tao Qing who has no ability and can become prime minister just because his father has no other good choices..."

"Because even when Chao Cuo was around, Chao Cuo never cared about the affairs of internal history;"

"Now Chao Cuo is no longer in charge of internal history, and the department of internal history has lost its backbone. Compared with the past few years, there is no difference."

"In the following years, Chao Cuo only cared about one thing from the beginning to the end."

I really expect him to do something, that's enough.

Uncle Tian replied: "I'm going to die!"King Liang did have that thing!

By this year, Uncle Tian's "probationary experience period" ended and he was called into the court;

If he revealed his true purpose, Liu Sheng's expression finally returned to solemnity.

"As for the responsibilities that Nei Shi should have shouldered, Chao Cuo almost ignored them..."

"Since that's the case, then, I won't say anything more."

"Just now, Mr. Ziqing asked me: After finishing the internal history, is there anything that needs Mr. Ziqing to help me?"

After Uncle Tian returned to the court, Emperor Qi asked, "King Liang, did you send someone to assassinate Yuan An?"

Knowing the whole process of Uncle Tian's investigation, Empress Dowager Dou was disappointed with her youngest son Liu Wu, but she also praised Uncle Tian greatly;

"Let's say he is the founder of the country and the survivor of Taizu, Ziqing is definitely worthy of it."

"Mr. Ziqing~"

···
"Mr. Ziqing should know that Chao Cuo was appointed as the internal historian in the seventh year of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, that is, shortly after the death of the first emperor, he was quickly promoted by his father."

···
"Since this is the case, the minister has done the internal history, and His Highness needs to be King Lu..."

"Under this premise, Prime Minister is no longer like Xiao Xiangguo, who only needs to consider the affairs of Guanzhong, but needs to consider the affairs of the whole world."

"—Mr. Ziqing, I really despise loneliness..."

Uncle Tian's behavior today can be said to be very unique to Uncle Tian.

"It's like in the courtyard, you can't grow a thousand-mile horse..."

Just a few years ago, Liang Wang Liu Wu, who had completely fallen into a state of madness because he missed the position of the crown prince, sent hundreds of assassins to Chang'an.

——When the situation was at its worst, rifts arose between today's Ziqi and even his own biological mother, the current Empress Dowager Dou!
At that time, it was Uncle Tian who was sent by Emperor Qi to Suiyang, the capital of Liang, to thoroughly investigate the assassination of courtiers by Liang Wang Liu Wu.

"—It's just that the prime minister is in charge of the civil affairs of the world, while the internal history is limited to Guanzhong."

"Back in the day, the scope of our Han family's actual control was only Guanzhong. Guandong was ruled by princes with different surnames, and it was not under the control of the court at all."

"It's just that there are a few things that need your Highness' advice?"

"—Cutting down the feudal clan!"

"If the Crown Prince, the crown prince, goes overboard on his behalf and intervenes in matters that should have been decided by the emperor, it will definitely lead to disaster over time."

But with Chao Cuo' pearls and jade first', even this request seems so extravagant to Liu Sheng today...
"The meaning of His Highness, I generally understand."

Uncle Tian replied: If Liang Wang does not follow the law and is executed, it is because the criminal law of our Han family cannot be implemented;
But if he dies under the law, the queen mother will not eat well and sleep uneasy. This is your worry again!

Seemingly taboo, and as if he didn't know how to start, he stopped the conversation quietly, and Liu Sheng smiled and lowered his head;

Although in the end, these more than 100 legendary "invincible" fierce men failed to assassinate even one person in Chang'an, but the sensational nature of this incident was completely unaffected by the "hundred assassins, the assassination success rate is zero" Impact.

That is to say, after this incident, Uncle Tian, ​​who handled the matter in a low-key manner and resolved it in the safest way, was appointed by Queen Mother Dou as the prime minister of Lu Wang Liu Yu.

···
"This situation has been maintained since the first year of Father Emperor Xinyuan."

——If I really do internal history, will His Royal Highness give me any instructions for this internal history?
I don't know if it's Uncle Tian's calmness when he uttered these words, or the natural magnanimity in Uncle Tian's temperament;
When Uncle Tian asked such a question that was a bit off-putting, and could even be said to be 'unspeakable', there was only a burst of embarrassment in Liu Sheng's heart.

But Liu Sheng remembered very clearly: his father, Liu Qi, had described to himself in detail the whole process of Uncle Tian's handling of this matter at that time.

Uncle Tian's question was very straightforward.

···
"But now, the princes with different surnames are long gone, and even the clan princes are not as good as before after the Wu-Chu Rebellion."

What Liu Sheng said was not very clear;
But Liu Sheng is very sure: Speaking of this, it is enough for Uncle Tian to understand his true thoughts.

"Mr. Ziqing's worries are not unreasonable, but they are not entirely correct."

But almost in a short breath, Liu Sheng quickly reacted: What is the purpose of Uncle Tian's question...

"So in Taizu's reign, Xiao Xiangguo was called 'Han Xiang', but in fact, he managed the 'world' of my Han family—that is, Guanzhong."

"What does Ziqing think?"

Full of melancholy, but also quite meaningful, Liu Sheng shook his head with a smile, and let out a long sigh.

"This is not only because most of the crown princes and princes are temporarily incapable of governing the country, and they will make some unexpected mistakes if they recklessly intervene in state affairs, it is also because of what Ziqing said just now."

After a little refraining, he said "this is what the father meant", and patiently explained the reasoning, Liu Sheng tentatively threw the question back to Uncle Tian.

It was also against the backdrop of this intricate incident that Uncle Tian set out from Chang'an with a heavy mission;
Along the way, he packed lightly and drove in a low-key manner. After arriving in Suiyang, Uncle Tian still didn't mobilize the crowd. He only found a few key witnesses of the incident and obtained the most critical first-hand testimony.

"—Chujun, after all, is a Chu, not a monarch;"

Prime Minister Tao Qing can't do it, Liu Sheng naturally can only seek a qualified internal history to pave the way for his future affairs as much as possible.

Under this premise, what Tianzi Qi wanted to do was to completely cut off Liang Wang Liu Wu's dream of being a "prince prince and brother" through Liu Wu's assassination of courtiers, as well as the possibility of achieving this goal.

Seeing Liu Sheng's posture, Uncle Tian was not in a hurry to persuade him, but put on a posture of listening attentively, and sat up straighter.

Emperor Qi asked again: Is there any evidence of guilt?
Uncle Tian said: Your Majesty, please don't ask Liang Wang's affairs.

After recovering from his thoughts, he said something to Uncle Tian with a smile, and Liu Sheng naturally changed the subject.

He held Uncle Tian indiscriminately, but found that the expression on Uncle Tian's face hadn't changed, so Liu Sheng could only smile embarrassingly;
After only a moment, Liu Sheng quickly adjusted his face, sighed lightly, and continued: "But everything has its two sides."

"As a crown prince, he should of course focus on learning and getting familiar with the principles of governing the country and the people, rather than rushing to deal with state affairs and government affairs."

"In addition to the accusations that the internal history itself should fulfill, can your Highness explain to the minister?"

But the Empress Dowager Donggong Dou, who knew the inside story of this place, believed that Tianzi Qi wanted to use this to eliminate the threat of the "Prince Prince Huang Taidi" through thorough physical means.

To put it simply, it is thought that Tian Ziqi wants to take advantage of this matter to directly force Liang Wang Liu Wu to death.

And Liu Sheng will have many things in the past few years, and the next few years visible to the naked eye, that will require the cooperation of important officials in the court—especially important officials with real power.

···
"Dare to ask Your Highness;"

"Hi······"

Therefore, the strategic position of Liang Guo's "Guanzhong Barrier" will naturally dissipate-at least it will sink the boat.

That incident back then, after all, involved the royal family, especially today's son, the relationship with his mother and younger brother, clan princes, and sensitive words like "prince prince and elder brother";

Therefore, the handling process of this matter back then is actually not well known to many people.

"For example: After I become an internal historian, what is your highness that needs to be ordered by the internal historian to serve your highness?"

"—Because whether it is internal history or not, Chao Cuo's focus has never been the responsibility of internal history;"

"The internal history of Chao Cuo is indeed somewhat..."

"No!"

"Your Highness needs to ask His Majesty to find another prime minister for King Lu."

"—King Lu, still very young;"

"If there is no old minister around to persuade, I am worried that King Lu will do something in the future..."
