I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 9 Giving Bacon to the Prime Minister

"Apprentice?"

"Worship the prime minister as a teacher?!"

In the early morning of the next day, Weiyang Palace and Guangming Palace.

Hearing his mother, Mrs. Jia's report, Liu Sheng just shook his head like a rattle.

"Don't go!"

"If you don't go, you have to go!!!"

Before Liu Sheng fled the scene, Mrs. Jia gave Liu Sheng a look, and Liu Sheng was dragged back by the collar by his elder brother Liu Pengzu.

And after the stern voice of "If you don't go, you have to go", Madam Jia's face immediately showed a look of unbearable.

The youngest son, Liu Sheng, grew up in the palace since he was a child. Although he can't be said to be well-behaved and sensible, he has never been able to find fault with the word "filial piety".

As a mother, Mrs. Jia has never thought about what she wants her sons to have in the future;

As long as the two children can spend their youth in good health, and when they are old, they will be crowned king, go to the feudal country to marry a wife and have children, start a family and start a business, and live their lives in peace, Mrs. Jia is already satisfied.

Therefore, Mrs. Jia has never said harsh words to the two children in the past, especially to Liu Sheng, she has never said a single harsh word.

But today, even if she couldn't bear it, Mrs. Jia had no choice but to pull Liu Sheng's arm and kneel down in front of her.

"Mother knows that Sheng'er doesn't like reading since she was a child."

"However, His Majesty specially sent someone to inform about this matter, and pointed out that today, mother must bring Ah Sheng to the door."

"Sheng'er needs to know: filial piety means not only filial piety to mother, but also filial piety to the queen, your majesty, and filial piety to the queen mother;"

"Ignoring filial piety, Your Majesty is the king, and Sheng'er is the minister..."

"Mother~"

Forced by his mother to sit down, Liu Sheng had already put on a pain mask on his face. When Mrs. Jia spoke, Liu Sheng interrupted impatiently, and said "mother", already unable to care about the palace. The number of etiquette.

"Since the child was three years old, he was driven to Shiqu Pavilion by his father to study, and he barely escaped from the predicament until his grandfather passed away;"

"It's hard to live a few months to live a peaceful life, and the father wants the child to study again..."

"Isn't this bullying~"

Full of sorrow, Liu Sheng let out a wail, not forgetting to cry, and shook Mrs. Jia's arm coquettishly.

"Mother~"

"Don't let the baby go~"

"It's really not possible, my son will go to the announcement room now, and just make amends to the father..."

Seeing Liu Sheng acting coquettishly in front of him like never before, Mrs. Jia couldn't help but soften her heart.

But after thinking for a while, Mrs. Jia finally made up her mind, pursed her lips, gently raised her hand, and touched Liu Sheng's still sad face.

"Sheng'er, good boy..."

"obedient."

"what?"

After wanting to speak for a long time, Mrs. Jia, who had never disciplined her two sons, could only choke out such a sentence.

But in front of Mrs. Jia, Liu Sheng lowered his head silently, and sighed with a gloomy expression.

Liu Sheng knew that his mother was worried that the emperor's father would be unhappy, so she wanted him to be obedient.

As a son, Liu Sheng didn't want to embarrass his mother either.

But the word 'reading' is really inconsistent with Liu Sheng...
"Ah~"

"Father is really, you don't have any stomach at all..."

How could Liu Sheng fail to see that the reason why the emperor's father drove him to the prime minister's apprenticeship was to avenge Liu Sheng's riot in Weiyang Palace yesterday?
Presumably, my mother also saw through this layer, so she ignored Liu Sheng's wailing, and could only persuade Liu Sheng to be obedient.

——After all, no matter how you say it, Liu Sheng is a prince, and it is a bit unreasonable to take action against a courtier and senior official at the level of two thousand stones...
"The emperor wants the minister to die..."

"Chen, I have to die~~~"

Full of despair, he raised his head up, raised his head to the sky and let out a wail. Liu Sheng reluctantly agreed to the matter for the sake of his mother, Mrs. Jia.

But even so, Liu Sheng still didn't completely give up the idea of ​​"seeking a way out for himself"...
·
About half an hour later, a carriage carrying Mrs. Jia drove out from Sima Gate, the north gate of the Central Palace.

After driving out of the palace gate, the carriage turned right, drove along Hao Street to Arsenal and then turned right again, Shangguanli, where the Prime Minister's Mansion was located, was already hundreds of steps away.

The carriage drove slowly on Zhangtai Street, but the two brothers Liu Pengzu and Liu Sheng did not get in the carriage, but hung behind the carriage not far or near.

While urging Liu Sheng to go faster, while looking down at the piece of bacon in Liu Sheng's hand, Liu Pengzu's brows also showed a little playfulness.

"My mother asked me to prepare for the teacher's ceremony, so Ah Sheng went outside the room and picked up a piece of bacon?"

"It's called politeness and affection!"

With an annoyed growl, Liu Sheng turned his head away depressed, not paying attention to the teasing look on Liu Pengzu's face.

But Liu Pengzu shook his head and smiled, shifted his eyes back to his feet, seemingly casually, and said with a little reminder: "It is said in the court and in the field that Shen Tujia, the former Prime Minister of An, has always been a clean and honest official."

"Even relatives with the same surname want to visit, but they are always turned away."

"As for the courtiers and officials, anyone who dares to come to the door with a gift will be thrown out with the gift..."

As he said that, Liu Pengzu turned his head with a smile and looked at Liu Sheng with a little playfulness.

"Such an honest person, give me a piece of bacon..."

"Is that appropriate?"

Liu Sheng's face turned red when his brother broke his mind, and when he realized it, he suddenly turned a little bit angry.

"The best fit!"

"If you think this apprentice ceremony is too light, it will save your father's 'good intentions'..."

He said so, but Liu Sheng was angry, and the resentment in his tone also inexplicably dissipated a little;

He couldn't help feeling a little fond of the old prime minister whom he had never met.

In his previous life, Liu Sheng was not an outstanding person, and he never had any experiences worth showing off, or special skills worth showing off.

As a child of a poor family, an ordinary person, and an expert, Liu Sheng only knows that an official, as long as he is a clean official, no matter how bad he is, he will never be so bad.

If today, the prime minister really showed dissatisfaction with Liu Sheng because of his "poor etiquette", then Liu Sheng would be happy to take his old mother back to the palace the same way, and turned around to make a small report to his father: Dad, the prime minister hates it. I didn't pay enough tuition~
——Liu Sheng specially brought a piece of bacon as a gift, that's what he was planning!
But if it is true what his elder brother Liu Pengzu said, the prime minister is an extremely clean person who can even throw guests out of the gate in order to refuse bribes...

"Go faster, we're here."

While thinking about it, Liu Pengzu's soft reminder came from his ear, causing Liu Sheng to raise his head quickly.

Seeing that the carriage had stopped outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his mother had gotten off the carriage, Liu Sheng trotted forward.

"The kid wins..."

He quickly ran to his mother, regardless of the general putting down the bacon in his hand, Liu Sheng hurriedly bowed his hands.

But when he saw the old man standing outside the prime minister's mansion, who was looking at him with a smile, Liu Sheng froze in place, and couldn't say the words 'meet the prime minister'...
