"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come to see you and is getting off the bus outside the mansion now!"
After Liu Deng left, Yang Sheng began to move around Chang'an City. Under his money strategy, many veterans came forward to speak for Wu King Liu Bi, and even some Many people came to lobby Shentujia. Liu Xuan had suffered such a big loss this time. How could Shentujia still have any quarrel with him?
In order to hide in peace, Shen Tujia simply claimed to be sick and hid at home. However, he did not expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would come to the door in person this early in the morning.
"Your Highness is here?"
Although he has been ill during this period, it is a matter of government affairs, which is handled by the officials of the Prime Minister's Office. It is not anything special. He, the Prime Minister, has to do it in person. His Highness the Crown Prince came to visit. , shouldn’t he be here to raise an army to punish someone, right?
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I haven't seen you for a long time. I wonder if your health is feeling better?"
Liu Qi also knew that Shen Tujia was pretending to be ill, but he still had to say what should be said.
"It makes His Highness the Crown Prince laugh. There is nothing I can do about it during this time. My illness is 30% real and 70% fake. It's just because I'm so troubled and want to hide in peace, so I claim that I can't get out of it." That’s it!”
"Hahahaha, Prime Minister, once you are quiet here, everything will be piled up on my side. I have been very troubled these days. I am really too busy, so I came to see you, Prime Minister!"
After Liu Qi finished speaking, he was the first to laugh. This was of course a joke, but in this way, it also relieved the embarrassment between the two of them.
"This is causing trouble for His Highness the Crown Prince. I can't stay here with His Highness the Prince. I will get up early tomorrow morning. Your Highness the Crown Prince can just relax!"
In any case, Shen Tujia and Liu Qi made a big profit this time, and they also made a lot of money by following Liu Deng.
In addition, Shen Tujia, an old guy, actually chose to draw a clear line with King Wu Liu Bi and the others this time and never interfered with their affairs again. At this point, Liu Qi was very satisfied.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I am not here today to urge you to get up, but there is a memorial here. I am really not sure about it, so I ask your Excellency, Your Majesty the Prime Minister, to help me take a look at it!"
Without Shen Tujia, it would be easier for Liu Qi to do some things. However, the Huns suddenly played such a trick, even Liu Qi felt a little troubled.
The Huns directly chose Liu Deng as the negotiating partner, which made Liu Qi very angry. This was a naked counterintuitive plan, but since the Huns did this, the Han Dynasty had no choice but to accept the move. It couldn't be so dark. Don't mention it, let's just get this thing out of the way, right?
However, he was really undecided about how to deal with this matter for a while. Originally, this matter should be reported to the emperor for decision, but the emperor's health has been not good these days, especially in the past few days, he has always been in trouble. Looking like he was in a daze, Liu Qi, as his son, couldn't bother him with such troublesome things at this time, so he wanted to go, but now he could only come to Shen Tujia to discuss it.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. Let me see it first before talking!"
In any case, His Highness the Crown Prince took the initiative to come to discuss with me, which was a good sign. Shen Tujia quickly reached out and took the memorial Liu Qi handed over, and looked at it carefully.
"It seems that these Huns are unwilling to accept the defeat, but this strategy is too crude!"
After Shentujia pondered for a moment, he twirled his beard and said.
"Then what does the Prime Minister think we should do?"
Liu Qi asked again.
"If it is the intention of the veteran, the court might as well entrust this matter to His Highness the King of Dai to handle it and see what kind of tricks these Huns want to play? I think with the temper of His Highness the King of Dai, I am afraid they will not get anything done this time Light!"
"Does the Prime Minister mean to give him a trick?"
This idea coincides with Liu Qi's. Don't you want to talk to Liu Deng? The court might as well delegate the power of negotiation to Liu Deng, because in any case, it is better to let them wrangle at the negotiation table than to let them mount war horses, grab bows and arrows, and directly harass the border, right?
"I wonder what His Highness the Crown Prince thinks?"
The prince took the initiative to show his kindness, and Shentujia naturally followed suit. The emperor's health was getting worse day by day, and it was time for him to make plans for the future of the Shentu family.
"The Prime Minister is indeed very scheming, so let's do what the Prime Minister wants to do! When I entered the palace yesterday, I occasionally heard my father mention the past events when Prime Minister Chen and Taiwei Zhou helped His Majesty ascend the throne. My father said it with regret. , it seems that he is deeply touched by the Prime Minister’s decision to appoint Zhou Yafu as the governor of Beidi County this time, and the Prime Minister is interested!”
As he was talking, Liu Qi suddenly changed the topic and talked about Zhou Yafu. Shen Tujia's heart moved, and then he felt a burst of ecstasy.
He also didn't expect that at first he just wanted to return Liu Deng's favor, but instead he made the emperor happy because of it. This was really a mistake!
This boy Liu Deng is really a blessed general. Thinking about the relationship between Liu Deng and His Royal Highness, it seems that when he has time, he should really get close to this boy Liu Deng.
"The Zhou family has been loyal for generations. When Zhou Taiwei was in power, he made great contributions to the imperial court. Now, not long after Mr. Taiwei left, the Zhou family has declined to such an extent. I can't bear it, but it makes His Highness laugh! "
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, your words are serious. My father wants to ask Your Majesty the Prime Minister to take care of Zhou Yafu on your behalf. If he is worthy of development, he can be well cultivated. The Zhou family has been loyal for generations, but no one in this generation can support him." Menting, if Zhou Yafu can hold on, my father wants to return the position of Jianghou to them!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I know what I'm doing!"
Shen Tujia also felt sad for a while. He didn't expect Zhou Bo's Yu Ze to be so deep.
This man has been dead for so many years, but up to now, he can still be remembered by the emperor. I wonder if the gangsters in his family will have a good death after his death?
When he thought of this, Shen Tujia's expression couldn't help but dim for a moment. Everyone is mortal. The emperor is old, but what about him?
"I still have some things to deal with, so I'll take my leave now. Since the Prime Minister is not feeling well, you might as well rest for a few more days and recuperate. There are still many things in this court that rely on the Prime Minister! I also want to There are many things that require the Prime Minister’s help!”
Liu Qi made a pun. Of course, the old fox Shen Tujia couldn't understand it. It seemed that after he and Liu Bi drew a clear line, there were really a lot of benefits!
