Chapter 41

"Back off!"

Back in his palace room, Liu Rong only let out a low voice, and then all the palace people in the palace retreated.

And in the palace room, the second child Liu De and the third child Liu Yan have been waiting for a long time.

"Big brother."

Seeing Liu Rong returned to the hall, the two brothers stood up together, and were about to bow their hands to salute Liu Rong, but saw Liu Rong waved his hands irritably, and sat down at the head seat.

"Mother's side, there is no other way;"

"The emperor's grandmother and aunt are completely offended."

Almost at the moment when his butt touched the seat, Liu Rong went straight to the point with a suffocated tone;
It was also at this moment that the three young masters, who were regarded as mediocre, literary, and sloppy in the impression of outsiders, finally revealed their true colors in front of each other.

——The head of the throne, the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Rong, frowned, his expression was only serious!
The first guest on the left, the second son of the emperor, Liu De, did not see the scriptures that he loved so much in the past, and only lowered his head with a thoughtful face, secretly thinking about something.

And beside Liu De, Liu Yan, the third child who was called "not happy to be seen in front of people" in the public, showed even more sinister expression on his face.

The three brothers sat like this, thinking, but no one spoke for a long time.

Regarding what their mother Li Ji did, the three brothers felt as if they had eaten a fly. They were extremely uncomfortable, and they couldn't express it at all.

Especially the second son, Liu De, felt helpless and helpless for his mother's repeated help these times...

"The third one will talk about it first."

After being silent for a long time, Liu Rong, who was sitting upright at the head, spoke first, then rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, and immediately moved his upper body forward for a while, looking at Liu Yan with extremely strong eyes.

Being called by his elder brother, Liu Yan didn't see the usual submissiveness at all. He only took a deep breath, and then narrated his views.

"If the mother doesn't listen to her advice, it's hard for us as sons to say anything;"

"But brother, if you say that the imperial grandmother was offended by us and died, I'm afraid it's too early to say."

Speaking in a steady tone, Liu Yan couldn't help lowering his head, pondered for a moment, and then raised his head again.

"Among the family members, it is not only my aunt who can speak in front of the emperor's grandmother;"

"Besides the clan relatives, there are also people in the imperial court who can speak well for the elder brother beside the imperial grandmother."

Hearing this, Liu Rong's frown was slightly loosened, and the eyes of the second child, Liu De, were even brighter.

"What does the third child mean..."

"King Liang?"

But Liu Yan nodded slightly, then shook his head slightly: "It's not just Uncle Liang."

"Among the princes, Xiao Jiu is very close to the East Palace, and was even given a palace card by the emperor's grandmother to freely enter and exit Changle Palace;"

"Among the courtiers, Yuan An, who has been dismissed by his father, can also get along with the East Palace."

"As long as these three people can be used by the elder brother, the matter of the aunt will not hurt the relationship between the elder brother and the East Palace."

After finishing the words, Liu Rong and Liu De looked at each other for a while, then nodded in unison.

This time, Liu Piao proposed marriage to Li Ji, but was declined by Li Ji. In the final analysis, he did not directly offend the Empress Dowager Dou, but offended the Queen Mother Dou's darling: Princess Liu Piao of Guantao;

Since there is no way for the three brothers to recover from Liu's whoring, it would be a good choice to start with Empress Dowager Dou's other 'hearts'.

It's just that the three candidates proposed by Liu Yan made Liu De feel a little tricky.

"Big brother."

Seeing Liu De ponder for a moment, he raised his head to look at Liu Rong, and then pointed to his younger brother Liu Yan beside him.

"What the third child said is indeed reasonable;"

"But the three people, the elder brother still has to be careful."

"If not, it's very likely that you won't be able to steal the chicken, and you will lose the rice."

Liu Rong frowned again at the suspicious words, and Liu De also took a deep breath.

"Uncle Liang is indeed closely related to the emperor's grandmother, and may even be more able to change the emperor's grandmother's opinion than his aunt;"

"But at the moment, the imperial court is about to promote the "Strategy for Cutting Feudal Fans". Uncle Liang Wang is stationed outside Hangu Pass, and he is attached to the stability of the ancestral temple and the country."

"At such a delicate juncture, if the elder brother rashly makes friends with the King of Liang, he may be misunderstood by the emperor."

"Even if the father did not misunderstand, it is inevitable that someone with a heart will take advantage of this to attack the elder brother in order to try to recreate the misfortune of the crown prince."

As he spoke, Liu De's complexion also became more serious.

"As for Yuan An, the same is true."

"——Nowadays in the imperial court, hundreds of officials and ministers dare not oppose Chao Cuo because of Chao Cuo's gaining power;"

"Father is determined to cut down the feudal clan, and Prime Minister Shen Tujia is deeply disgusted by Father because of this."

"And Yuan Ang, apart from Shen Tujia, is the only one who stood up and opposed Chao Cuo's implementation of the "Strategy to Cut Fans."

"It is precisely because of this that the emperor casually found a reason for Yuan An to be dismissed from office and rank, and demoted to nothing."

"If the eldest brother gets close to Yuan An, it is likely to be misinterpreted by the father or someone with a heart: the eldest son of the emperor intends to stop the "Strategy for Cutting Fans."

"This is definitely not a good thing for big brother."

"As for Xiao Jiu..."

When it came to the end, Liu De's face once again brought back the depressed look that Liu Rong had when he returned to the palace.

"Earlier, when Xiaoqi and Xiaojiu paid homage to the prime minister, my mother was furious."

"Although in the end, Dou Zhan's background resolved the matter, but there is a bit more alienation between our Phoenix Hall and the Guangming Hall;"

"If elder brother wants to use Xiao Jiu's hand to restore the East Palace, I'm afraid he will have to put more thought into it."

"At the very least, let Xiaojiu feel at ease, and don't have to worry about Madam Jia being bullied by her mother in the future, so that she can help elder brother and speak well to the emperor's grandmother."

Listening to his second brother Liu De's in-depth analysis, Liu Rong's expression remained gloomy;
After thinking for a long time, he finally raised his eyebrows and glanced at Liu De beside him.

"Go on."

Seeing Liu De heard the words, he took another deep breath, forcing himself to shake out all the complaints about his mother Li Ji in his mind, and then looked up at Liu Rong again.

"Uncle Liang Wang, brother can try."

"The king of Liang has always loved literature and prose. He even raised hundreds of scribes in the Liang Palace in Suiyang.

"Starting from this aspect, brother, maybe we can win the support of King Liang for eldest brother."

After saying that, Liu De turned sideways again, and pointed to the youngest Liu Yan beside him.

"On weekdays, the third child shows people with a 'weak' face, no matter what he does, no one will be suspicious."

"So on Yuan An's side, the third child can fight for it."

"Whether Yuan An can be won or not, people in the market will only think that Liu Yan, the third son of the emperor, is trying to grandstanding;"

"No one will think that the third child intends to oppose the "Strategy to Cut the Domain", and no one will link this matter with the elder brother."

At the end, Liu De couldn't help but take a deep breath, then looked at his elder brother Liu Rong, and let out a long sigh leisurely.

"As for Xiao Jiu..."

"I'm afraid, the eldest brother will go out in person..."
