My life is like walking on thin ice

Chapter 33 Father’s teachings are good~
"You open your mouth and say 'Gong Zirong', you don't look like a father at all..."

After the emperor left, Liu Rong complained nonchalantly, which only made his two brothers break into cold sweats!
But in the end, there was still no sound to remind Liu Rong: Walls have ears, brother, be careful what you say.

——Of course the two brothers did not dare to eavesdrop on what Emperor Qi said to Liu Rong.

He didn't dare to ask, so he could only wait for Liu Rong to tell him.

It's just Liu Rong's next words that even Liu De, the 'IQ' one of the two brothers, was a little confused about.

"Use the situation to your advantage?"

"That's easy to say. My back doesn't hurt when I stand and talk..."

"——If I had a mother who wanted to make her youngest son the crown prince, of course I would be happy to 'take advantage of the situation' and make a fuss about it."

"But if my mother is confused, then she just cuts the main artery?"

"How can I take advantage of it?"

"When that old dog calls out, I will still 'take advantage of the situation' and start a trade fair???"

There was a burst of complaints about the preface and the afterword, which only made the two brothers confused and couldn't understand what Liu Rong was talking about.

Liu De was a little better and vaguely heard Liu Rong's complaint, which should be related to his mother Li Ji.

Liu Yi, forget it - almost from the moment he heard that new word, he has been frowning and thinking: what are arteries and trade fairs?
He had no hope for his third brother's IQ, and seeing that Liu Yi's focus had long been on some weird place, Liu De finally took a deep breath and lowered his head to think.

After a long time, Fang tentatively said, "In my opinion, what does your father mean by coming here today?"

This was originally a decent question, but it caused Liu Rong's face to pause for a moment, and his endless complaints stopped abruptly after Liu De's question.

After three full breaths, Liu Rong recovered from his stunned state, stared in the direction of the emperor's departure, took a deep breath, and let out a long sigh leisurely.

"Good guy..."

"Is it a lie to persuade me to cheer up, but is it true to personally demonstrate how to 'make the best use of the situation'?"

"——You feel like I'm about to lose my performance. Why don't you use the storage position to stimulate me again so that I can complete the trick with you?"

"As for what happens afterwards, we will wait until then and see the specific situation..."

After belatedly realizing Emperor Qi's intention, Liu Rong felt an indescribable and endless bitterness in his heart.

I originally thought that what the old man said just now was to use his personal experience to remind Liu Rong: instead of thinking about changing, it is better to think about using;

Instead of thinking about changing your mother, it is better to think about your mother's temperament and how you can use it.

But now it seems that even the instruction of "reminding Liu Rong to learn to make use of all conditions" is a personal demonstration of Emperor Qi's own "use of all conditions".

As for this level of personal demonstration, Liu Rong can only say: I have benefited a lot...

After staring outside the palace door for half a stick of incense, Liu Rong finally smiled.

Then he stood up and looked at his second brother Liu De beside him.

"My father came here today because he wanted to tell me that his eldest son, Ying Guo, is a father. I am very pleased."

"In the next few days, it will be difficult for my brothers to make any big moves."

"——First I got slapped for being the prime minister, and then I was banned for being 'arrogant and domineering';"

"Before spring begins, let's just stay in the Phoenix Palace Maodong..."

Hearing this, both Liu De, who understood what his elder brother meant, and Liu Yi, who was still thinking about 'what is market trade', both respectfully accepted the order.

But neither brother knew that the eldest brother Liu Rong at this time had been completely inspired by what Emperor Qi Tian had done. Use me?
ok~
Taking advantage of the situation?

OK~
If a father dares to teach, how can his son dare not learn?
"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead..."

"Hey;"

"My son, I will never let down my father's teachings..."

This winter, the Chang'an court was very busy.

The late emperor's funeral affairs are basically over, followed closely by the government affairs accumulated during the national mourning period.

If it were just a pile of government affairs, it wouldn't be so busy - with the old Prime Minister Shen Tujia in charge, no matter how much government affairs piled up, they would always be dealt with quickly.

It's just that this winter, there are really too many things that need to be dealt with by the Chang'an court.

——First of all, it is the Liang State outside Hangu Pass;

As soon as spring began, Emperor Qi issued another edict, ordering the Shaofu to continue delivering grain, grass, and ordnance to Liang Guo, and emphasized "do it as quickly as possible."

After receiving the edict and the court issued a charter, Emperor Qi made another announcement: At the beginning of spring, the Huns' envoys would come, and the Han family would most likely make peace with the Huns again.

Almost at the same time, news came out from the palace again: Prime Minister Shen Tujia had once again angered Emperor Qi on the matter of "Cutting the Vassal Policy";
This time, Emperor Qi couldn't bear it anymore and gave Shentu Jia a long vacation without even giving him the last bit of dignity: The prime minister has worked so hard and is old and comatose, so he can just rest in his house!
After Emperor Qi's words, Shen Tujia followed suit and settled down in the Marquis Mansion with peace of mind, receiving the salary and rice delivered to his door on a monthly basis, living a very comfortable life.

It was a pity that the Chang'an court was already very busy due to the accumulation of government affairs, transporting baggage to the Liang Kingdom, welcoming the Xiongnu envoys, preparing for the marriage, etc., and without Shen Tujia in charge of the prime minister's office, it was even more busy. .

In the twelfth lunar month alone, the nine ministers in the court together spent only ten nights at their own home!

If the chief officer is like this, let alone the people below him: anyone who goes to court without a pair of dark circles directly exposes the fact that he is not serious enough in his work.

This kind of life lasted for more than three months, and finally it was the beginning of spring, and I was finally very busy.

——The pile of government affairs has been dealt with, the transportation to support the Liang Kingdom has been restarted, the reception of the Xiongnu mission is ready, and the etiquette and materials required for the marriage are basically ready.

I could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and even have the luxury of going home and having a good sleep. There was only a burst of joy inside and outside the court.

It was not until the beginning of spring that Weiyang Palace, which had been silent all winter, finally showed some signs of 'revival'.

——Mrs. Wang of Qilan Palace came forward and said that her eldest daughter was loyal to the country and voluntarily married outside the Great Wall for the purpose of marriage;
——Mrs. Jia of Guangming Palace followed closely behind, and also fought for her eldest son, Liu Pengzu, the seventh son of the emperor, to receive the Huns envoy.

Xuanming Hall made no move, which was expected by everyone.

The movement coming from the Phoenix Palace was far beyond the expectations of both the government and the public.

"The emperor's eldest son asked for a tassel to take care of the craftsmanship of the young man's house?"

"What's the point of this?"

For a time, there were countless figures scratching their heads and thinking hard in the entire city of Chang'an.

What is even more shocking is that Emperor Qi rejected all requests from Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Jia.

——Mrs. Wang’s eldest daughter was excluded from the marriage candidate list by Emperor Qi on the grounds that she was ‘too young and her status was too noble’;
In the end, there is a high probability that a clan girl will be granted the title of princess and marry outside the Great Wall for the sake of the short-term peace between Han and Hungary.

Mrs. Jia's eldest son, Liu Pengzu, the seventh son of the emperor, was rejected by Emperor Qi on the grounds that it was "incompatible with etiquette". As usual, Fengchang Yamen was solely responsible for welcoming the Huns' mission.

Only the request of the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong received the acquiescence of Emperor Qi.

In this regard, the image of Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor, in the public eye, in addition to being "always kind" and "recently a bit reckless", has an additional entry of "loving the skills of a wood craftsman".

But no one could have imagined - not even Emperor Qi could have expected: What a 'surprise' Liu Rong would bring to the people of the world and King Wu Liu Bi when he went to the Shaofu...
