I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 112 My son!Bye to death!
The beast circle broke up unhappily, and Tianzi Qi didn't dare to delay, so he came to the palace where Empress Dowager Dou was staying without stopping;

After finishing his good words, he scolded Yuan Gu in agreement, and finally put Empress Dowager Dou to sleep. Emperor Qicai dragged his exhausted body to the side hall of the palace.

As for the brothers Liu Sheng and Liu Fei, they were also summoned by the emperor.

However, when the two brothers, full of anger, came to the side hall where Tianzi Qi was, they found that the face of Tianzi Qi was exhausted;
Sitting on the couch, one foot was placed on the edge of the imperial couch, the elbow was propped on the raised knee, and the palm was resting on the forehead, kneading the temple unstoppably.

Rao was dissatisfied with what Tian Ziqi did today, seeing Tian Ziqi's appearance, Liu Sheng couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic again.

On the other hand, Liu Fei, who was on the side, saw Tianzi Qi's posture of "closed eyes and resting his mind", and only followed Liu Sheng to the imperial couch, and knelt down gently;
Raising his head tentatively, seeing whether Tianzi Qi still had the posture to speak, Liu Fei finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and asked softly: "Hey, Xiao Jiu;"

"Just now, what is going on with the phrase 'specially used for prisoners and criminals' by the emperor's grandmother?"

"Why can't I understand?"

Asking softly, Liu Fei kept his voice down all the time, and looked at Tianzi Qi on the imperial couch from time to time, as if he was afraid that his voice would be heard, but he was really uncomfortable.

Hearing this, Liu Sheng raised his head subconsciously, seeing that Tian Ziqi did not respond, he thought for a while in secret;

After confirming that what he said next belonged to the category of 'can be said in front of Tian Ziqi', Liu Sheng raised his head slightly, signaling Liu Fei to come over.

"Before Qin Wangzheng, the Kanto countries each had their own scripts, which was very inconvenient;"

"After the six kingdoms were wiped out, Qin Wangzheng ordered that all people in the world must use the same language."

"This kind of writing is Qin Zhuan, which is the Xiaozhuan commonly used by my Han family today."

"However, since the publication of the book, Confucianism has always believed that this font is very ugly, and compared with the past, it is not more convenient;"

"After Emperor Taizu Gao established the Han Dynasty, Confucianism began to advocate everywhere, saying that Lishu is a simpler and more practical font."

"But in the past, the official script has been used to record the files of criminals and prisoners. It has never entered the hall and appeared on any formal occasion."

"Therefore, it is derogatoryly called Lishu in the market, and it is called 'a special script for criminals and prisoners';"

"As for the Confucianism who advocates the official script and runs for the official script, it is naturally called the 'special knowledge for criminals and prisoners'..."

After whispering the meaning of Empress Dowager Dou's phrase "Ande Sikong Chengdan Shuhu", Liu Sheng immediately raised his head;
However, Tianzi Qi, who was sitting on the imperial couch, had opened his eyes without knowing when, and seemed to be listening to Liu Sheng's words.

On the other hand, Liu Fei beside Liu Sheng didn't notice that Tianzi Qi had 'woke up' at all. He just nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "So, what does the emperor's grandmother mean by saying this?"

"Is this to despise Confucianism, and by the way, despise Yuan Gu who studies Confucianism?"

Liu Fei's questioning voice came from beside his ears, but he still failed to draw Liu Sheng's attention away from Tianzi Qi who had opened his eyes;

After staring at Tianzi Qi for a while, seeing that Tianzi Qi still didn't speak, and even leaned towards him, Liu Sheng slowly turned his gaze away from Tianzi Qi.

"Today, the emperor's grandmother wanted to express her anger to her teacher: Huang;"

"When I called Yuan Gu to come, I just wanted to listen to Yuan Gu and say a few soft words to myself, such as 'Confucianism is not as good as Huang Lao'."

"—But Yuan Gu is not only ignorant of flattery, but also said that Huang Lao's theory is a knowledge specially prepared for stupid women like the emperor's grandmother!"

"Yuan Gu's words scolded the emperor's grandmother and Huang Lao's theory together. This talented emperor's grandmother responded to Yuan Gu with the fact that Confucianism was running for the official script."

Hearing this, Liu Fei finally gave a long "Oh~" and nodded thoughtfully.

Only a moment later, Liu Fei gritted his teeth suddenly, and even punched the air in front of him!
"The rotten Confucian Yuangu is too bullying!"

"Relying on my knowledge, I don't even pay attention to the emperor's grandmother!"

"Father is also true;"

"Such a rotten Confucian who doesn't know the superiority and inferiority, why should he be high-ranking and rich..."

Halfway through the speech, Liu Feicai finally came to his senses belatedly: in his mouth, the Emperor Qi who raised the corrupt Confucian Yuangu, the high-ranking official, and the rich salary in Chang'an seemed to be by his side...
Full of panic, she raised her head, only to see that Tianzi Qi's deep gaze had already fallen on her body impartially...
"Father! Father Emperor!"

"Son!"

"My child..."

He said "Father" and "Son" incoherently, but he still couldn't get a complete sentence out of his mouth. Liu Fei simply stopped struggling, bowed his head as if resigned to his fate, and anxiously waited for the punishment of fate.

However, Tianzi Qi only stared deeply at Liu Fei for a moment, then turned his head indifferently, and locked his eyes on Liu Sheng who was beside him.

"Didn't everyone in the palace say that Mr. Sheng usually doesn't like reading?"

"Why do you know so clearly about the Confucianism?"

A slightly bored question only caused Liu Sheng to sit up subconsciously, and replied without thinking: "I don't like reading, but I like listening to stories;"

"These stories were all told by the prime minister to my ministers in the past."

"The prime minister said: Take history as a mirror, you can understand the gains and losses;"

"Only by understanding the gains and losses can we become a clan prince who is humble and courteous in the future, and will not add chaos to the court."

The impeccable answer naturally made Tianzi Qi look away indifferently, let out a long sigh full of exhaustion, shrugged his shoulders, sat on the imperial couch, and was stunned by himself.

"Young Master Sheng is light and easy;"

"—Bring the queen mother to Shanglinyuan, and then I don't care about anything."

"The empress dowager is angry, and Mr. Sheng just sits on the side like that, don't you know how to persuade me?"

Hearing this, Liu Sheng just shrugged helplessly.

"If my minister can persuade the imperial grandmother, I don't have to bother the imperial grandmother, and have come all the way here to Shanglinyuan;"

"Father also explained earlier: If you can't be persuaded, please invite the emperor's grandmother to come to Shanglinyuan, and father will personally persuade you."

"Man, my son is here;"

"Admonishment, father and emperor should come in person."

Another impeccable reply made Tian Ziqi nod subconsciously;
After a while, Tianzi Qi was inexplicably annoyed and turned his head sideways.

"If I don't help me to persuade me, it's fine;"

"——When the fifth brother was about to stand up, why did he stop him?!"

"Even if you let that Yuangu get punched by the fifth child, it's better than being thrown into the animal pen?!"

Seeing Tianzi Qi asking a question from sideways, and the tone of his tone was clearly tinged with anger, Liu Sheng simply stopped answering;

Turning sideways slightly, he shouldered the Fifth Brother Liu Fei who was beside him: "Fifth Brother, please tell Father the Emperor yourself;"

"When Fifth Brother was about to stand up, what was he going to do?"

The indifferent words also made Tianzi Qi suddenly turn his head and cast his eyes on Liu Fei beside Liu Sheng;
But seeing Liu Fei raised his head, shrunk his neck in shock from Tianzi Qi's fierce gaze, finally stretched out his hand cautiously, and gave Tianzi Qi a little cup of his hand.

"Father, father atonement..."

"I saw that Yuangu old Confucian, Ju, dared to insult the emperor's grandmother, and I was really angry;"

"If it hadn't been for Xiaojiu to stop me, I would have thought, I wanted to pick up the old Confucian who spoke wildly with a sword..."

Full of guilty conscience, Liu Fei finally gave up his resistance and sat down on the ground, staring blankly in a daze;

——In Liu Fei’s opinion, today, I’m afraid I have to explain here...

Hearing Liu Fei's words, Tianzi Qi did not speak;
He was dazed in a daze for a long time before he seemed to lose his mind and began to laugh strangely...
"Hey······"

"hey-hey······"

"Okay~"

"In just the blink of an eye, another bastard appeared among my sons..."

Hearing Tianzi Qi's ridicule mixed with strange laughter, Liu Fei only sighed and lowered his head even more;
After reacting, a trace of doubt quietly arose in Liu Fei's heart.

--again?

——Why did the emperor say again?

—Aren’t I the only jerk...

As a senior in the bastard world, Liu Sheng naturally knew nothing about Liu Fei's doubts.

Hearing Tianziqi's words, which were obviously a bit of a stick, and recalling the other side of Tianziqi in front of those veterans/farmers a few days ago, Liu Sheng finally stood up after thinking twice. Get up.

Walked up to Emperor Qi, and bowed solemnly to Emperor Qi in accordance with the etiquette of courtiers when admonishing;
After Emperor Qi raised his head suspiciously, Liu Sheng sat down on his knees in front of Emperor Qi, and his face became serious.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with what happened today."

"The doctor of "Poetry" is solid, let alone his Zhilu compared with two thousand stones, and his experience of reading sage books;"

"—Just because you are born as a human being, you should know the principles of respecting the elderly and superiors."

"But today, in front of my father, my sons, and my fifth elder brother, Yuan Gu degraded my Han family's mother, the empress dowager, the first wife of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, and my father's own biological mother, into a villager. village woman."

"Such a move, not to mention throwing Yuan Gu into the animal enclosure;"

"—Even if you chop them up first and throw them into the pigsty together, there is absolutely nothing inappropriate!"

Saying this with a stern expression, Liu Sheng's face immediately burst into a little anger, and he turned his head slightly, raising his head in Liu Fei's direction.

"As for Fifth Brother, as the grandson of the imperial grandmother, I saw someone insulting my grandmother with such foul language in front of my face;"

"If even this is the case, Fifth Brother doesn't have the courage to draw his sword in anger and splatter blood for five steps, then Fifth Brother will be a son of man in vain."

After saying that, Liu Sheng turned around again, took a deep breath, and looked at Tianzi Qi with full solemnity.

"As a son, I shouldn't blame my parents for their mistakes."

"But the son-in-law is not only the heir of the father, but also the servant of the father."

"If you see your father's mistake, but don't point it out immediately, it's against the way of a minister;"

"It would be against the duty of a son to let the emperor be publicly criticized by courtiers with foreign surnames because of this mistake."

"So, even after my son finished speaking these words, the emperor wants to give my son a cup of poisoned wine, and my son will still say it."

"—What happened today, Father, I made a mistake!"

"—Royal Father shouldn't allow that rotten Confucian Yuangu to humiliate Grandmother like that in front of Royal Father!"

"—Because this is not only about the majesty of the emperor's grandmother, but also about the reputation of the emperor and the majesty in the hearts of the courtiers!"

"If because of today's incident, all the officials and ministers in the court think that the father is a monarch who is not filial to his mother, doesn't care whether her mother is insulted, or even connives at his subordinates' misbehavior, what will happen in the future?"

"Doesn't everyone want to learn from him, to ride on the head of the emperor's grandmother to shit and pee, but don't have to worry about the father's punishment and blame?"

After saying these words with a firm expression, Liu Sheng raised his head without fear, and met his eyes with the emperor Qi sitting on the head.

After a full three breaths, Liu Shengcai took another deep breath, and kowtowed unpretentiously.

"My son finished speaking;"

"If the father wants to give death, son, please thank the father first..."

Seeing Liu Sheng eloquently proclaim his 'criminal evidence', and then bowed his head in front of him as if he was dead, the emperor's face became uncertain for a while.

I don't know how long it took, but Liu Fei, who had been on the side for a long time, started to cry in a low voice because of "the two brothers are going to confess here today", and Tianzi Qi slowly opened his dry lips;

"go;"

"Bring me a bowl of water."

"Moisturize your throat, I'll explain it to you kid."

Hearing this, Liu Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then got up indifferently, and went outside the hall to fetch a bowl of warm honey water;

On the other side of the imperial couch, Liu Fei was still immersed in the grief of 'imminent death', crying out of breath.

At this moment, Liu Sheng didn't care about comforting Fifth Brother Liu Fei, he just put the warm water in his hand gently in front of Tianzi Qi, then returned to the previous position and knelt down.

After Tian Ziqi poured down a sip of honey water, and let out a long and comfortable breath, Liu Sheng sat up straight, quietly waiting for the verdict of fate.

"Yuan Gu is a Confucian scholar;"

"It's a doctor personally appointed by Emperor Taizong Xiaowen."

"Although the knowledge and character are poor, they have a very high status in the hearts of scribes in Kanto."

"I am very clear about Yuan Gu's behavior;"

"—Yuan Gu's actions today also make me feel angry!"

As he was talking, Tianzi Qi suddenly raised his voice, which finally surprised Liu Fei who was beside the imperial couch, and stopped his muffled sobbing by the way.

Then Tianzi Qi took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his chest a little, and then continued: "I also feel very disgusted with people like Yuan Gu."

"However, in the early years, the late emperor had told me: Unless it is a serious crime such as treason and treason, you must never use power to punish a 'famous' scribe like Yuan Gu."

"Even if you commit a serious crime, as long as you don't have very conclusive evidence, you can't be punished..."

"—I am not a very smart person;"

"Not a very wise emperor either."

"I can't fully understand the instruction of the late emperor."

"But I know: the late emperor was right."

"Even if I can't understand it, I must follow the late emperor's instructions and do my best to treat these disgusting scribes as kindly as possible."

"It's not because of me. I still want to imitate Emperor Taizong Xiaowen."

"It's for the stability of the ancestral temple and the country..."

In a tone as calm as possible, he said these scenes that were half self-effacing and half hypocritical, and Tianzi Qi took another sip from the bowl;
Before Tianzi Qi could say the next sentence, Liu Sheng, who was kneeling in front of the imperial couch, picked up the conversation again.

"My son believes that what Yuan Gu has done today is a great treason!"

"Father, son, and fifth brother all witnessed this with their own eyes!"

"—Evidence~!"

"—to convince the people of the world, and not because of this, they will think that I am the evidence of 'killing the scribes'~!"

Before Liu Sheng finished speaking, Tianzi Qi frowned suddenly, and the water bowl in his hand was put back on the imperial case in front of him!

Staring straight at Liu Sheng for a while, Tianzi Qicai took another deep breath, suppressed his anger again, and added a last sentence in a cold tone: "Don't say any more;"

"This matter, stop here."

"Zhen, I'm not stupid enough to need my own son to teach me how to be filial to my mother and how to be an emperor."

Talking a little irritably, he took another sip from the bowl, grinned at an angle where no one would see, and then the emperor Qi pointed to Liu Fei, the fifth son of the emperor, who was still staring blankly beside the imperial couch.

"I told you to invite the queen mother here, and it's fine to follow me;"

"——Why did you bring the fifth child with you?"

Seeing that Tianzi Qi was obviously a little impatient, Liu Shengzong was still a little dissatisfied, so he had no choice but to give up resentfully.

——Liu Sheng, not Liu Qi's courtier;
But half a courtier, half a son.

As Liu Qi's 'half courtier', Liu Sheng was obviously stepping on Tianzi Qi's bottom line to be able to speak up to this extent.

Let's continue talking, let's not talk about admonishment, I'm afraid I really want to do what Liu Fei thinks, and give the lives of the two brothers to this palace...
"Earlier, father and emperor promised son-in-law that as long as he could invite the emperor's grandmother to Shanglin Garden, the son-in-law's benefits would be indispensable?"

With a gloomy expression on his face, he turned Tian Ziqi's attention from the bowl of honey water to himself, and Liu Sheng then pointed to the fifth elder brother Liu Fei who was beside the imperial couch.

"Fifth brother wants to fight;"

"When the "Strategy to Cut Fans" triggers a rebellion among princes and kings, Fifth Brother wants to lead an army to quell the rebellion."

"—This, is the 'benefit' you want?"

Hearing the emperor's enlightenment question, Liu Sheng only nodded heavily.

"My son wants my father to promise Fifth Brother that when the rebellion breaks out, he will give Fifth Brother a general seal and let Fifth Brother lead the army to go out."

"and also;"

"My son wants some steel to make a suit of armor for Fifth Brother."

"But apart from Shaofu, Erchen really doesn't know where to find steel that can be used for armor."

Listening to Liu Sheng explaining his reward for "inviting Empress Dowager Dou", Tianzi Qi thought for a while, then lowered his head and sipped the honey water in the bowl again.

"Yes;"

"But the queen mother is annoyed again today;"

"The "Policy for Cutting Fans", I am afraid that it will not be implemented for a while..."

"—As long as the father punishes Yuan Gu, the grandmother will feel the filial piety of the father;"

"Yuangu can't die~!"

"—but can be removed from office."

"Yuangu dismissed the official, and the queen mother can calm down and nod on the "Strategy to Cut Fans"?"

"--can."

"—My son personally persuaded me."

After a few short conversations, the father and son quickly reached an agreement again.

But half an hour later, the situation changed again beyond the expectations of the father and son.

To be precise, when the beacon towers one after another, less than ten miles away from the palace, ignited a raging fire and flashed dazzling light, Empress Dowager Dou no longer needed Liu Sheng to persuade her...
　The one owed yesterday was made up.
