Ying Zheng didn't mind either. In addition to being polite and considerate, he discussed the general trend of the world with Zhang Liang and got along very harmoniously.
After getting rid of the relationship between the assassin and the assassin, it was quite pleasant to get along with Zhang Liang. He was knowledgeable and his words were interesting. Who wouldn't like to interact with such a person.
The person who knows you best is always your enemy.
Liu Che clasped his hands in the space, squinted his eyes, looked at Ying Zheng, then at Zhang Liang, and suddenly shouted: "Hey!"
He said: "You are not planning to learn the secret of cultivating immortality from Zhang Liang, so you are so warm to him, are you?"
The remaining three people watching the show were so shocked that their melon seeds dropped: "Huh?!"
Where did this shot go? !
Isn’t that outrageous, Liu Yezhu? !
Then he turned to look at Ying Zheng——
Ying Zheng sat on the seat with a cold expression and serious eyes: "You are thinking too much."
The trio watching the show turned to look at Liu Che.
Liu Che: "You said that if I guessed wrong, you would have to watch Zhang Liang cultivate immortality for the rest of your life and you wouldn't be able to cultivate. Just say it!"
The three people watching the show turned to look at Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng: "..."
Liu Che: "Say it!"
Ying Zheng: “…………”
Liu Che: "Say it!"
Ying Zheng clenched his fists and said angrily: "Shut up, you are the only one who talks too much!"
Chapter 192
Prime Minister Jiang Maoyan sensed Emperor Zhou's seeming temptation and easily jumped over this trap.
It's just that he can't help but gloat in his heart - he can see through such a simple truth at a glance, but others may not.
Note: Others refer to some eldest sons of the emperor who do not want to be named.
If the emperor's eldest son and concubine could hear Jiang Maoyan's voice, she would definitely turn her into a confidant.
Really good at judging people!
In the evening of this day, the couple was having dinner, but they never thought that a close aide of the eldest son of the emperor came from outside and muttered something in the ear of the eldest son of the emperor. The eldest son of the emperor and the concubine looked at her husband. The look on his face turned bad.
"This wolf-hearted thing, if it weren't for the kindness of the Queen Mother, how could the mother and son be allowed to live to this day? I was so kind to him, but he repaid the favor and bit me back!"
The eldest son of the emperor was furious.
When the emperor's eldest son and concubine saw this, they would inevitably ask for the reason.
The eldest son of the emperor glanced at her and remained silent despite his anger. The confidant who reported the news before told her the story quietly and quickly.
"He is the Sixth Prince. He has been in and out of Hongwen Hall frequently recently, and some people saw him chatting happily with the children of the Yinghou family..."
"I thought it was such a big deal."
The eldest son of the emperor, the concubine, laughed dumbly: "The sixth brother is getting older, and he should find something to do. Aren't young men at this age allowed to have ambitions? My father set up the Hongwen Museum to allow talents from all over the world to come here. As the prince of Zhou Kingdom, my sixth brother, why can't I go?"
"Brothers working together can cut through metal. If the sixth brother can assist His Highness like Chuilizi assisted King Huiwen, wouldn't this be a great good thing?"
"A woman's perspective!"
The eldest son of the emperor listened impatiently: "How do you know that he is willing to be Chuilizi? It is impossible to say that he is arrogant and wants to be King Huiwen, but he regards me as Chuilizi!"
The confidant also echoed: "Your Highness is right. If he really means this, he can come and visit our Highness. Why should he go out and make friends with some unscrupulous people without saying a word?" If you look at it as a villain, he clearly has evil intentions..."
Just after saying these words, the master and servant heard a "bang" sound, and it was the eldest son of the emperor, the concubine, who raised her eyebrows and struck the table with her palm.
"No matter what happens to the sixth brother, it is still a family matter of the Zhou family. How can it be your turn to point fingers? Come here, take this slave who instigates brothers into trouble and put him in prison. The maximum penalty is thirty!"
The eldest son of the emperor, the concubine, had a seizure on the spot. The attendants, who had always known her nature and did not dare to shirk the blame, did not hesitate and immediately went to arrest her.
The confidant hurriedly asked the eldest son of the emperor for help: "Your Highness, I hope to save this slave's life——"
The eldest son of the emperor knew that his wife had an upright temperament. Even though there was not much affection between the husband and wife, he had always been in awe. When he saw this, he couldn't help but get angry: "You..."
The eldest son of the emperor, the concubine, did not give him a chance to speak, and first ordered the attendants: "Bring out that slave who is stirring up trouble quickly. If you dare to be verbose again, I will cut his tongue!"
The confidant immediately fell silent.
She looked at her husband again: "His Royal Highness has always been fond of Confucianism, but he has also been involved in his family. Don't you know what the rules of the eight rites mentioned by Guanzi are?"
When the eldest son of the emperor saw her acting like this, he felt even more bored. He didn't have a wife, she was clearly a rigid gentleman.
Glancing at the emperor's eldest son and concubine, he finally suppressed his unhappiness and replied: "The inferior should not be twice as good as the superior, the minister should not kill the emperor, the humble should not be more than the noble, the young should not overshadow the elder, the distant should not be intimate, the new should not be added to the old, the young should not be If it is not enlarged, sexual immorality will not violate the righteousness. This is what Guanzi said about the rites."
The eldest son of the emperor, the concubine, said sternly: "We are far away from each other. How can we explain this?"
The eldest son of the emperor said: "People who are distant from each other should not participate in the affairs of those who are close to them, and they cannot alienate those who are closer to each other."
The eldest son of the emperor, the concubine, asked: "Are you closer to this slave, or are you closer to your sixth brother?"
The eldest son of the emperor wanted to say, "Of course he is closer to those who grew up with me", but due to the requirements of education and etiquette he had received since childhood——
He glanced at the emperor's eldest son and concubine again, and said reluctantly: "Of course I am getting closer to my sixth brother."
The eldest son of the emperor, the concubine, then said: "In this case, the servant who alienates his own family, stirs up troubles, and causes discord between his master and his brother, should be driven away immediately, and he should not be allowed to stay with His Highness."
The eldest son of the emperor had a sad look on his face. He glanced at his wife again and reluctantly said, "Okay."
The eldest son of the emperor, the concubine, said happily: "Some people say that you can correct your mistakes and do good, and your highness is such a person!"
The eldest son of the emperor reluctantly moved the corner of his mouth, glanced at his wife again, and said with some shrinking: "Now, young master, can you put down the stick in your hand?"
The eldest son of the emperor, the concubine, smiled slightly and handed the stick in his hand to the maid. She softened her voice and continued: "Now let's talk about the fact that the sixth brother has been in and out of Hongwen Hall recently. Do you think it is reasonable for the sixth brother to act like this? Is there anything to blame?"
Anger suddenly appeared on the face of the eldest son of the emperor, and he said: "Don't he have evil intentions? How dare a bastard -"
The eldest son of the emperor and the concubine said: "You are the legitimate son of the royal family. You are supported by the patriarchal system and the rightful heir. The sixth brother is the concubine of the imperial concubine. According to the system, you have no right to inherit the throne. , is this what you think?"
The eldest son’s voice became louder and louder: “Isn’t it like this?!”
The eldest son of the emperor, the concubine, asked him calmly: "In this case, what are you still worried about? No matter your family background or etiquette, you are much better than the sixth brother. How can a person in a strong position not even have a weak position?" Can’t you tolerate even your own brother?”
"If this is the case, how can my father safely hand over the land and people of Zhou to you?"
The eldest son of the emperor was speechless and his face turned red. After a long while, he finally said: "He is willing to be King Huiwen, but I'm afraid he won't be willing to be Chuilizi!"
After hearing this, the emperor's eldest son and the concubine hit the nail on the head and said: "Is what you are afraid of the sixth brother's ambition, or is it your own talents that are inferior to others and pale in comparison with the sixth brother? "
"Seeing that my brother has more abilities than myself, I don't want to use this to encourage him to work hard, but I want to use my brother's status and my concubine's dignity to humiliate him and force him to give up on me. Competition, is this what the sages teach His Highness to do?”
These words were so sharp and ruthless that the emperor's eldest son's face, which was flushed just now, turned pale in an instant.
He avoided talking about the matter and kept talking about him: "But he was not only going in and out of the Hongwen Hall, but he was also seen chatting happily with the children of the Yinghou family!"
"So what can we do? Not to mention that he is just a son of the Yinghou family. Even the Yinghou himself can't change anything."
The eldest son of the emperor, the concubine, said calmly: "I heard that although the Yinghou was of humble origin, he was a man of great wisdom. After becoming a prince, he never interacted with the clan and the powerful. How could such a person get involved? Are you going to compete for the throne of the prince?"
"What you hear with your ears may deceive you. Don't you understand the principle of three people becoming a tiger? But what you can see with your eyes, most of the time you can't observe it yourself. It will be false. If you are willing, I can go to see Quan Shuyi for you, or have a chat with Sixth Brother. What do you think?"
The eldest son of the emperor said uninterestedly: "It's up to you..."
After a slight pause, he added, "What if he is an ambitious person?"
The emperor's eldest son and the concubine said: "If your talents and strategies can surpass his ambition, then what is there to worry about?"
The eldest son of the emperor: "..."
The eldest son's eyelashes trembled unnaturally a few times: "What if I can't surpass him?"
The eldest son of the emperor and the concubine said: "The emperor's position is of course supreme, but it is also very involved. An edict is issued from the capital, but it affects tens of millions of people. How can ordinary people bear such a heavy burden?" Can you afford it? Only the worthy can bear it. If you cannot afford it but do it by force, it will not be a good thing for the people of Zhou State or for you."
The eldest son of the emperor: "..."
The eldest son of the emperor laughed angrily: "Young Master, do you want to say that if he is better than me, then I'd better be wiser and abdicate in favor of someone more worthy?"
The eldest son of the emperor, the concubine, said happily: "That's exactly what I think."
"Did you eat too many beans with your father when you were a child? It made your brain go crazy!"
The eldest son of the emperor couldn't bear it anymore, and finally got up and said angrily: "I am a legitimate prince, why should I give up my throne to a mere bastard? It's a good thing to say that people are worthy of their talents - if there is someone who is more suitable for the job than you. The emperor’s eldest son and concubine’s people are here, are you willing to abdicate and make way for someone worthy of your honour?!”
The eldest son of the emperor, the concubine, solemnly said: "Your Highness, please bring this person to me. If her virtue and talent can indeed surpass mine, I am willing to abdicate in favor of someone better."
The eldest son of the emperor: "..."
The eldest son of the emperor: "Even if you lose your current wealth and glory, will you not regret it?"
The eldest son of the emperor, the concubine, said calmly: "Zhuangzi went to the Liang Kingdom to visit Hui Shi, who had become prime minister. Someone told Hui Shi that Zhuangzi intended to seize his position as prime minister. Hui Shi was very afraid, and he searched for Zhuangzi in the capital. Three days.”
"Zhuangzi went to see him and said that there is a kind of bird in the world called Yuan Chu. It will not stop unless it is a sycamore tree, it will not eat unless it is a sycamore, and it will not drink unless it is a spring of sweet wine. The falcon eagle picked up a putrid mouse, and the Yuan Chu Flying in front of it, the hawk looked up at it, fearing that it would steal food from it, and let out a 'scare' sound. Do you want to use your appearance to intimidate me now?"
"And what is the difference between what you are doing now, Your Highness, and that falcon?"
She looked calm and said calmly: "When I was young, I followed my father around the countries barefoot, helping the poor people, treating the strangers I met on the road like friends and relatives, and preventing big countries from attacking small countries. In an unjust war, if someone dies on the way, a simple ceremony will be held to bury him without spending any material resources."
"At that time, I was like a turtle waving its tail in a pit. I felt that there was nothing more comfortable in the world. Why do you think I regard wealth and glory as treasures?"
The eldest son of the emperor looked at his wife dumbfounded as if he were seeing his wife for the first time. After coming back to his senses, he felt that the anger that had been suppressed before was being refueled. My heart was burning.
"...What's the difference between me and a falcon that eats carrion rats?"
There was only a "pop" sound, and the eldest son of the emperor stood up and said: "Young Master, I have always respected you, but you should not be so ignorant! How can I, a man of seven feet, be afraid of a woman like you? Son?!"
"Immediately apologize to me for what you said and did. If not, don't blame me for being rude!"
The eldest son of the emperor, the concubine, looked at him disinterestedly and said calmly: "Then, why do you want to be so rude?"
…
The queen has not rested yet, and is checking the accounts of this month in the harem with her confidant, the female official.
The palace attendants outside hurriedly came back and forth to report, whispering: "The eldest son of the emperor, the concubine, sent the long way out, and asked for the escort to make a plank."
The queen didn't even raise her eyelids after hearing this, and just asked: "What is it for?"
