I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 68 Uncle Liang Wang, Coming to Chang'an
After bidding farewell to Shen Tujia respectfully, on the way back to the palace, the two brothers showed a hint of thoughtfulness in an incomparably tacit understanding.

Only this time, it was Liu Pengzu who was a little older to ask the question first.

"Hey, Ah Sheng;"

"You said this Chao Cuo, what kind of person is he?"

Asked lightly, Liu Sheng frowned even more tightly, still bowing his head in thought, but did not forget to answer.

"Chao Cuo this person..."

"Well, it's complicated!"

"Before Chao Cuo, even if a scholar from the Legalist family entered an official position, even if he dared not declare his status as a 'Legalist scholar', he would insist on euphemistically expressing his identity through the rhetoric of 'the study of governance, business and criminal names'. identity;"

"But when Chao Cuo first became an official, he completely abandoned this bottom line and only said that he could write and recognize."

"—This shows that Chao Cuo is a person who has no bottom line, no principles, and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals."

"Later, Chao Cuo learned elegant language and accepted Fu Sheng's "Shangshu", and thus became a "great Confucianism". This also proves this point."

Speaking in a low tone, Liu Sheng's expression on his face couldn't help becoming more serious.

"It's just that later, Chao Cuo put forward the "Strategy for Cutting Fans" in front of the emperor's grandfather, which seemed to show that Chao Cuo also had his own persistence."

"After the death of the emperor's grandfather, Chao Cuo even abandoned the 'Rupi', immediately revealed his identity as a 'Legalist student', and also showed that Chao Cuo did not regard the Legalism as a springboard."

"Although it cannot be said that everything Chao Cuo did was for the revival of Legalism, at least it can be said that the main purpose of Chao Cuo's move is to let the voice of Legalism return to the court."

"Besides, Chao Cuo is determined to carry out the "Strategy to Cut Fans". On the surface, it seems that he has great ambition and talent;"

"But when you think about it, it doesn't look like much."

"—Implementing the "Strategy to Cut Fans" will inevitably force the clan and princes of the Kanto region to rebel!"

"And after the rebellion breaks out, if the court fails to put down the rebellion, Chao Cuo will become a sinner through the ages;"

"But on the other hand, if the rebellion is quelled and Chao Cuo's "Strategy to Cut Fans" is implemented smoothly, then Chao Cuo will become a famous official with a long history."

"In this way, Chao Cuo's actions seem to have some meaning that if he fails, he will be benevolent, and he will fight for death and family destruction, and he must strive to soar into the sky."

"It's just that Chao Cuo is among them, how much is for the revival of Legalism, and how much is for his own fame..."

"I'm afraid, only Chao Cuo himself knows..."

At the end, Liu Sheng did not forget to squeeze out a stiff smile that was uglier than crying, looked at his elder brother Liu Pengzu beside him, and shook his head to himself.

"It's no wonder the teacher said that people like Chao Cuo are 'dangerous' to the ancestral temple and Sheji."

"—Because Chao Cuo's actions, whether for the revival of Legalism or for personal honor and disgrace, are absolutely selfish!"

"Whether it's for the school or for himself, it is absolutely unforgivable for Chao Cuo to drag the whole world to bet on the Legalists and Chao Cuo's own future!"

"Especially the father, who is likely to be used by Chao Cuo as a gun to make contributions, but he still doesn't know it..."

As Liu Sheng's voice fell, Liu Pengzu's face also showed a touch of approval.

It is exactly as Liu Sheng said: Chao Cuo is too complicated...

There is no way to simply divide by 'good guys' or 'bad guys'.

If you say he is a good person, right?
In order to be famous, he is now learning elegant language, accepting the "Book of History", and using it to get close to the then prince Liu Qi, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a traitor with ulterior motives!

——Especially at the moment, Chao Cuo's "Strategy for Cutting Fans" has brought the whole world into a very dangerous situation;
For, but only Chao Cuo's selfish desire...

But it seems inappropriate to say that Chao Cuo is a bad person.

Because from a subjective point of view, there is a high probability that Chao Cuo's implementation of the "Policy to Cut Fans" is for his own selfish desires;
But judging from the perspective of objective facts, even the first emperor recognized, or at least the default "Strategy for Reducing Fans", I am afraid that there are certain merits.

To put it more bluntly, even Emperor Taizong Xiaowen Liu Heng believed that the implementation of the "Policy for Cutting Feudal Fans" is very necessary for the Han Dynasty today!
In this way, the standard for judging Chao Cuo seems to be only ability;
But thinking of this, Liu Sheng was even more confused.

——Even without Shen Tujia's reminder, as an "adult" who lived half his life in the previous life, Liu Sheng clearly understood: the more capable the bad guys are, the more destructive they will be!
At the same time, the more capable a person is, the easier it is to become a "bad person" in the world's standards due to the influence of refined egoism.

As the saying goes: Hooligans are not to be feared, but they are cultured;

A capable, even talented villain is an absolute disaster for anyone!

However, what Liu Sheng really can't figure out is...
"Father, are you really so stupid?"

"—I can even react when I'm being used as a gun!"

"Father is the son of heaven after all. The heir cultivated by the emperor's father is not so stupid, right?"

"Could it be that the father can't see that all Chao Cuo's actions are just to use the father to achieve his ulterior purpose?"

Asking this question full of doubts, Liu Sheng's brows were even more genuinely perplexed.

After a while, Liu Sheng turned around stubbornly and looked at the Gu'anhou Mansion left behind from afar.

"When you come to the door tomorrow, you must ask the teacher!"

"——If this is the case, then Father is too stupid..."

Hearing Liu Sheng began to accuse the emperor Liu Qi again and again, "Father is stupid" and "Father is stupid", Liu Pengzu couldn't help but burst into wry smiles.

After thinking for a while, Liu Pengzu answered this doubt for Liu Sheng by borrowing a sentence that Liu Sheng once said.

"Didn't Ah Sheng say that before;"

"—As long as the clan and princes are all rebellious, the first one to die must be Chao Cuo?"

"Perhaps father is just using Chao Cuo;"

"Just wait until the use is over, throw Chao Cuo to the execution ground and cut him in half, maybe?"

Expressing his guess in a casual tone, Liu Pengzu smiled and shook his head again.

"Besides, Ah Sheng will probably not be able to ask the teacher tomorrow."

"Ok?"

The seemingly pointed words made Liu Sheng frowned again;
But Liu Pengzu looked at his younger brother Liu Sheng meaningfully with a playful smile.

"News from the palace;"

"—Uncle Liang Wang, I will arrive in Chang'an tomorrow..."
