Chapter 427
Liu Ling's speech was not only given to Princess Guantao, but almost everyone who listened to the lecture that day was handed over, and the emperor was no exception. ←,.
The emperor was very confused about this speech.
To be fair, this survey has great significance.*********. The purpose of valuing relatives is to consolidate the relationship and continue the future of the family. No one is willing to give birth to an ineffective child. As the emperor, he does not want so many couples among his people to be infertile or have low quality. As a father, he does not want him to be a stupid son.
Now it seems that it may be a good thing if the queen doesn’t give birth to a queen, and having a fool is the real disaster.
However, the emperor vaguely felt that this matter did not look so beautiful. Although there was no evidence that Liu Ling was entrusted by the queen to do this, in fact, she really found a problem for him. If Wei Zifu gave birth to a prince, should Empress Chen abdicate?
The King of Huainan was not willing to give up and wanted to fight Princess Guantao? Not to mention whether Liu Ling had such thoughts, at least Princess Guantao had it. Dou Ying, the Marquis of Wei Qi, suddenly became active, which made the emperor feel some crisis.
Will Liang Xiao play any role in it? The emperor suddenly felt a sudden slap in his heart and his face changed slightly.
At this moment, Zhu Maichen walked in quickly, holding a memorial in his hand. "Your Majesty, champion Hou Liangxiao wrote a letter."
The emperor blinked Zhu Maichen and thought to himself, it's really effective. When he thought of him, his memorial arrived.
"What did he say?" the emperor took the memorial and asked.
"He impeached Jiangdu Crown Prince Liu Jian and sent improper envoys, which insulted Jiangdu King Yingling."
The emperor blinked, opened the memorial and read it, and snorted. "Is he avenging his private revenge?"
Zhu Maichen didn't say anything, but he was very happy. Of course, he felt that Liang Xiao was taking revenge on the public, but the emperor didn't ask, so he could not take the initiative to say it. At most, he could only mention it intentionally or unintentionally. Although he had not been in the provincial government for a long time, he had already had a certain understanding of the emperor's character and knew when to say what to say and when not to say what to say.
Besides, after reading books for so many years, the word "六子子子子 is definitely not the evaluation he hopes to get.
"Do you Wu Chu people hold such a grudge?"
Zhu Maichen was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed. He thought nervously. What does the emperor mean? Do you blame Liang Xiao or do you want to say something?
Seeing Zhu Maichen talking in a silence, the emperor smiled and gently placed Liang Xiao's memorial on the table. "This Feng Ji is not lucky to get into Liang Xiao, so he can't blame others. Liu Jian was indeed Meng Lang, how could his wife's family's guest take on this important task? Zhu Maichen, you go to Jiangdu."
"Now!" Zhu Maichen responded, and then asked again: "Your Majesty, how to deal with the troubles of Liang Xiao in Feng Ji?"
"I know he is unhappy." The emperor snorted: "If you just use a little bit of a slut, forget it. If you don't know how to advance and retreat, you may not be very useful. You must be neat and regular."
Zhu Maichen understood half or not, but he didn't dare to ask again, so he left.
The emperor was independent in the hall. After thinking for a while, he suddenly laughed and shook his head. "After all, he is a martial artist, and even treats qi so rudely."
Zhu Maichen went down from the palace, found Yan Zhu, told him the story, and sincerely asked, "Jun Yan. Is there anything wrong with my response? Why did the emperor look so strange and asked me to go to Jiangdu instead?"
Yan Zhu glanced at Zhu Maichen with a smile. In front of Zhu Maichen, he had respect that he could not enjoy in front of others.
"Sit down and talk."
"Here." Zhu Maichen sat down opposite him, holding his hands and looking at Yan Zhu respectfully. Although he was a few years older than Yan Zhu, according to the rules, he was Yan Zhu's support and should be treated with courtesy.
"Why did the emperor send Liang Xiao to Jiangdu?" Yan Zhu said with a smile: "Don't he know that Liang Xiao and Liu Jian have a holiday?"
Zhu Maichen was stunned and suddenly realized. "Is this the emperor deliberately giving him a chance to vent his resentment?"
"Liang Xiao is a martial artist. He is a little scholar and has a simple mind. If he has any discomfort, he cannot deal with it, and he will only go straight. If the emperor wants to promote Wei Qing, he will naturally belittle Liang Xiao. If he is not given a chance to vent, what if Liang Xiao makes a tantrum in Chang'an?"
"No, not bad." Zhu Maichen took the topic and smiled: "If it's someone else, that's fine. Liang Xiao is a young hero valued by the emperor. He suddenly turned against him and couldn't stand his face."
"That's right. Brother Zhu, you can understand one thing and apply it to others. This is the strength of scholars."
"Thank you, Mr. Yan, for your reminder." Zhu Maichen bowed to the end. "I understand."
"Don't have direct conflicts with Liang Xiao. Doing unrighteous things will kill you. What's wrong with making him proud for a while? It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. The emperor is right. We Wu and Chu people hold grudges like this. If you don't take revenge, how can we live in the world?"
Zhu Maichen nodded understandingly.
At the end of January, Liang Xiao arrived in Jiangdu.
Crown Prince Liu Jian and Prime Minister Dong Zhongshu went to the border to greet each other.
Liu Jian looked very haggard, like an eggplant beaten by frost. After the news that Feng Ji was killed by Liang Xiao was returned, Liu Jian was very manic and shouted to fight with Liang Xiao to the end. If it were not for the Prime Minister Dong Zhongshu, he might have written to the emperor. A few days later, the emperor's envoy Zhu Maichen came and severely condemned Liu Jian for his improper employment and was suspected of being unfilial. Liu Jian realized that his situation was not good.
The emperor was obviously trying to slap his messenger. Liang Xiao killed his envoy. The emperor didn't say a word Liang Xiao, and didn't even investigate it. He directly accepted Liang Xiao's opinion. Isn't this going to slap his messenger or something?
Liu Jian was very wronged. When did he suffer such anger? What's more, Liang Xiao was once his subject. While suppressing his anger, he was preparing for Liu Fei's funeral, and sent people to Beijing to ask the King of Gai to come forward and write a letter to the emperor to impeach Liang Xiao.
Before this, he could only bear it.
This felt very uncomfortable, and he could only bear it. Liang Xiao is no longer the raider back then. He is the champion of the 3,800 households, the favorite minister of the emperor, and the talent that the former king Liu Fei admired during his lifetime. At this time, he could easily give someone a handle to deal with Liang Xiao. If he really wanted to be accused of being unfilial, it is hard to say whether he could inherit the King of Jiangdu.
Now, the plan is to save the throne first.
Liu Jian hated Liang Xiao to the core, but Liang Xiao had no time to pay attention to him. After explaining his official duties, Liang Xiao took time to find Dong Zhongshu.
Dong Zhongshu was concentrating on dealing with Liu Fei's funeral. The Han people regarded death as life. Lost death was a very important etiquette among all rituals. Dong Zhongshu was a great Confucian scholar. He was determined to promote Confucianism to become an empire. Naturally, people could not feel that he was not knowledgeable enough and his etiquette was not thorough. He was very surprised and somewhat relieved about Liang Xiao's visit.
The emperor once asked Liang Xiao to hold a halberd for him, which was the glory he talked about.
"I'm here today. I want to have a heart to share my anger with Mr. Dong." Liang Xiao was not polite and was straightforward. "The King of Jiangdu sacrificed his life for the country, and the court must redeem the honor and favor to comfort King of Jiangdu Yingling. Mr. Dong is the prime minister and has the responsibility to assist in the government. I wonder if Mr. Dong has a plan to safeguard the country?"
Dong Zhongshu knew that Liang Xiao and Liu Jian were incompatible, and he knew Liang Xiao’s purpose. He deliberately said, “What does this mean by lord?”
"Dong Gong, I won't be striking the bush with you. Let me just say it directly. I think Liu Jian's talent and virtue are not enough to be king. If he succeeds to the throne, it will only shame the King of Jiangdu. At that time, Mr. Dong may be blamed."
Dong Zhongshu didn't say anything. He knew exactly what Liu Jian's virtue was. Although Liang Xiao had the intention of avenging his personal revenge, he was justified in his opinion.
"What does Junhou mean?"
"My mission will be completed when the body of King Jiangdu returns to Jiangdu safely. The rest is the responsibility of Mr. Dong and Zhu Maichen. I shouldn't have interrupted. The reason why I did not avoid suspicion is because I had some connections with Mr. Dong, and I didn't want to see Mr. Dong's reputation ruined by him."
Dong Zhongshu smiled. He understood what Liang Xiao meant. Liang Xiao wanted to use his hand to retaliate against Liu Jian and treat him as a knife. Does he look so stupid?
"Thank you for your concern. Zhongshu was entrusted by Your Majesty to become the prime minister of Jiangdu. Even though he is a little virtuous and talented, he should encourage himself. Confucius said: There is no difference in education. Ordinary people cannot give up easily, let alone the fact that the prince of Jiangdu has an inheritance? Zhongshu dared not obey his orders."
"Since Mr. Dong said that, I have nothing to say." Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled. Dong Zhongshu didn't know how big the matter he had, and he wanted to tie him up with a scum like Liu Jian, and he didn't object. He came to Dong Zhongshu to find Dong Zhongshu, but he didn't want to mess with Liu Jian. If he didn't need anyone to mess with that scum, he would kill himself sooner or later.
It is more important for him to come to find Dong Zhongshu. The struggle between Mr. Huang and Confucianism has not ended yet. Now that Dong Zhongshu has revealed his own flaws, how could he let him go easily?
"Mr. Dong, my mother returned to her hometown to visit relatives. She praised you all the time after hearing about your political achievements. This time I came back, I also heard many people praise Dong Gong's voice, which is really gratifying. Dong Gong is a great scholar for his studies, an official is a good official, and he will be a pillar of the court in the future."
Dong Zhongshu was stunned and then laughed. He stroked his beard and said humbly. "How dare you? How dare you? The Lord has been too rewarded."
"However, I have also heard some bad opinions. Some people have complained about Mr. Dong asking for rain. Mr. Dong should also be careful."
Dong Zhongshu was prepared for a long time. When Mama Liang returned to his hometown to visit relatives, he had arranged for someone to receive him. He was the Qianqiu Pavilion in the former residence of the Liang family. "The sages set up ghosts and gods to teach the people, and seeking rain is closely related to people's livelihood. How can those witches control such a big event? Lord, you can't be deceived by those people."
Liang Xiao was unmoved. "Dong Gong, is this asking for rain really effective?"
Dong Zhongshu did not think. "The unity of man and nature, sincerity will make one's heart work." Just kidding, this is one of the foundations of his knowledge, how can he be easily discredited?
"How many times do you ask for rain? How many times do you succeed?"
Dong Zhongshu's eyes flashed, hesitating. "Please ask for it once, make it once."
Liang Xiao nodded. "If this is true, then I should make Gong Dong famous and report to the emperor. But if so..." He glanced at Dong Zhongshu, smiled silently, and smiled sinisterly. "This crime of deceiving the emperor is not a joke. Should Gong Dong consider it again?"
Dong Zhongshu's face changed drastically, and his neck was cold. He knew that Liang Xiao was not good today, and the dispute between Confucianism and Taoism was about to start again-
