Rumble~~
The sound of the carriage's wheels rolling on Chang'an Avenue was a bit harsh, especially when combined with the sound of falling horse hooves.
The road leading from the palace to the palace is not far, but from the perspective of the three sons of Huainan Kingdom, it is really too long.
This length of time even makes them feel tortured.
Seeing this, Liu Cheng comforted him: "Brothers, don't worry, the Prime Minister is a very kind man."
After hearing Liu Cheng's words, the third son of Huainan Kingdom had a complicated expression.
From the shores of the East China Sea to the western frontier, from Liaodong to Lingnan, everyone knows and knows the reputation of the great regent.
The kings bowed their heads and Chehou kept silent. The king of Lingnan, Zhao Tuo, and Emperor Tiangao paid tribute year after year.
Compassion does not control the army, kindness does not control the country. How could such a big man be a kind person?
For Luo Xin, the regent and prime minister, the people of the world, especially the princes and kings of the Liu family, naturally have very complicated feelings.
This world clearly belongs to the Liu family.
But in the past few decades, the real time ruled by the Liu family was only Liu Bang's barely ten years and Liu Ying's few years.
The rest of the time was spent in regency.
Even if Lu Fei married into the Liu family, what happened to the surname Luo Xin?
Many Liu clan princes and kings disliked Luo Xin, but ordinary Liu clan members didn't feel that way.
After all, Luo Xin showed no sign of usurping the throne, nor did he show any sign of changing their treatment, so it was none of their business who was in charge.
The three people who came to the palace belonged to the latter category. They were more concerned about how much money they could get after leaving the palace than the distant court.
However, because the King of Huainan was dissatisfied with the Prime Minister during his lifetime, or the entire Huainan Kingdom was filled with this bad atmosphere, the three of them had the impression of Luo Xin as an arrogant and domineering powerful minister.
He treated the Liu clan arrogantly and forced the vassal states to pay high taxes.
Now when I suddenly heard that Liu Cheng, who was also a member of the Liu clan, praised Luo Xin so much, I naturally felt complicated.
Amidst these complicated thoughts, several people walked into the palace. Rows of guards wearing armor were constantly patrolling. Almost all of them were big and round, and they looked like mighty warriors at first glance.
After passing through the towering palace walls and arriving at the main hall of Changle Palace, the three of them finally met the kind Prime Minister Liu Cheng said.
He sat quietly in the hall. At a glance, he saw that his hair was full of gray. He was holding a scroll in his hand and reading it. He seemed to hear the voice coming from the front of the hall, so he raised his head and glanced at the three of them casually. .
What kind of look is this?
There seemed to be sharp knives hidden in his eyes, piercing everything naked and bloody. There seemed to be dragons rolling under his eyes, and there was endless noise in them. But looking at it again, it was very calm, like an ancient well with no ripples on the lake surface, as if it had just been The ups and downs are all an illusion.
How terrible!
Cold sweat broke out on the backs of the three of them instantly, and even their subconscious steps back proved that it was no illusion. The three of them looked at each other in horror, and then looked at Liu Cheng at the same time.
kind?
Is this what you call kindness?
Liu Cheng ignored the three of them and hurriedly walked into the palace. Although the three of them were a little afraid and didn't know if there was a dragon's pond and a tiger's den in front of them, they still gritted their teeth and followed them. The four of them bowed at the same time and said: "See the Great Prime Minister, the Great Prime Minister Wan install."
"I'm safe."
The four of them stood up. Luo Xin looked at the three of them and asked directly: "Are you the bastard of King Huainan who came to Chang'an with the Huainan Kingdom's envoy?"
Luo Xin's tone was neither salty nor cold, not very enthusiastic, but he didn't give a cold reception either. Although the three of them were a little confused, they still said: "Prime Minister Qi, that's right."
Luo Xin said calmly: "King Huainan is really good at educating his children. As soon as I met the three Han clan members, I knew that they were all outstanding people who could prosper the great cause.
In this world, is there any reason why a country can prosper without employing talented people?
It must not have happened. King Kang had his ancestor King Su and Taigong Wang, so he created a prosperous age; King Zhao had Duke Wen, King Yi had Duke Xuan, and there were also various relatives and relatives to assist him.
Qi Huan had Guan Zhong, Jin Wen had various ministers, and the same is true today.
Moreover, if a clan member has talents but does not put them to good use, how can he be called a saint king to rule the world?
I believe that countries that do not use ancestral clans will all fall into the hands of people with different surnames, and the ancestral temples will not survive.
The Qin Dynasty did not use clan members and would collapse in just ten years. This is why Your Majesty should attach great importance to you. "
The three of them were stunned by what Luo Xin said. He just said he was a talented person without even taking an assessment, and said he would be reused. What on earth was he doing?
Liu Cheng saw the three people were stunned and said quickly: "Three brothers, why don't you thank the Prime Minister for your kindness?"
The three of them just woke up from a dream and saluted directly to Luo Xin. This was not an overstep of the rules. Luo Xin was the prime minister and he was above those who served the princes and kings both internally and externally, let alone their concubines.
Luo Xin asked again: "The King of Huainan has always been known as a beloved son. I heard that when he was dying, he lamented that he could not give all his grace to his sons. It was a pity.
Isn't it sad that such a great clan member passed away with regret?
The imperial court should fulfill King Huainan's last wish when he was dying to show His Majesty's kindness. I think both Emperor Gao and King Huainan would be pleased to see their descendants in harmony. "
? ? ?
Prime Minister, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Our father has the reputation of loving his son, how come we don’t know that?
Although he has lived well since he was a child, it is precisely because he is not lacking in material life that he pays more attention to the satisfaction of the spiritual world.
Precisely in this regard, the three of them have suffered countless discrimination and look-downs since childhood. The King and Queen of Huainan are also quite strange among the nobles in their treatment of the concubine.
The younger two of the three brothers were still in a daze, while the eldest Liu Chen had prostrated himself deeply on the ground and said with tears: "The Prime Minister Tianzong has never met my father in person, but he still knows.
My father did indeed sigh every time he was alive, worried that we would have a hard time surviving after leaving the palace.
The minister comforted his father many times, saying that being born into a family of Zhongmingdingdingshi was already the greatest luck in the world.
Being able to become the heir of his father is even more blessed by King Su.
If you are still not satisfied and think about pursuing other things, you will fall into the trap of greed. Can you still live safely in this world?
After hearing this, my father burst into tears. Until he passed away, there was no smile. I am worried and heartbroken!
The Prime Minister is far away in Chang'an, but he can know the affection of his father. I am really feeling inexplicable and don't know what to say. I can only bow to you once, again, and three times! "
After saying that, Liu Chen really bowed to Luo Xin three times.
There was silence in the main hall. Even the historian who was writing down the records was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and quickly recorded the scene on the slips.
Luo Xin looked at Liu Chen deeply. He did not expect that the small Huainan Kingdom would have such a great talent.
If such a great talent cannot become a king, is there any justice?
Everyone finally heard the Prime Minister's first emotional words since entering the hall, and they only heard him say with deep emotion: "You are really a filial son. King Huainan must be relieved to have a son like you.
The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and it was unreasonable not to simplify the lineage of such a clan. "
When Liu Chen heard this, his scalp went numb instantly, his heart was so excited that he almost jumped out of his chest, and the joyful expression on his face was almost uncontrollable.
He made the right bet!
He didn't know Luo Xin's purpose, but Luo Xin obviously needed his father to have a reputation as a beloved son and a last wish to separate the family, so Liu Chen directly put all his chips on it.
Regardless of whether his father said it or not, Liu Chen must let everyone know that King Huainan said it!
I am his son!
Who can refute that?
Could it be that my father could come back from the dead and expose me?
Father, you only love your so-called legitimate son, and you have failed us brothers in this life.
But if I can be appreciated by the Prime Minister Regent through you, my son will definitely pay homage to you in the future and thank you.
Liu Chen's heart was filled with countless thoughts, and he bit his lips fiercely to force himself to grieve.
He has not been carried away yet, and there is a historian beside him, so he must not leave a few words in the history books like "the father dies and the son laughs".
Liu Chen lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Filial piety, this is a natural principle. The prime minister uses this simplicity to remove ministers, and I will feel guilty."
Luo Xin laughed loudly and said: "Your example should be publicized so that everyone in the world knows that in the Huainan Kingdom, fathers are kind and sons are filial. This is the result of my great man's education."
The three people who left the palace looked a little excited, and the other two asked with some worry: "Brother, what did you say to the Prime Minister in the palace earlier?
Although few outsiders know about the situation in the Huainan Kingdom, the ministers all know it. Aren't you worried that the Prime Minister will know the true situation in the future and punish you in turn? "
Liu Chen smiled cheerfully when he heard this, and said confidently: "The two brothers are really obsessed with the prime minister. The prime minister is so talented and has been in charge of the country for decades. Is there anything in this world that can be hidden from him?
What Brother Wei said was what the Prime Minister wanted to hear.
Let's see, this time Brother Wei fights for the Prime Minister, and the fate of our three brothers is about to change. "
Changes came so fast. A gust of wind blew through Chang'an City, blowing over the eaves tiles and red walls of the palace. It seemed that overnight, the conversation between Luo Xin and the third prince of Huainan spread throughout Chang'an.
Even Guanzhong!
Even the world!
An edict was issued from the ban, and Luo Xin, who had been sitting in Chang'an City for a long time, once again raised his voice to the whole world!
…
When Huainan died, he sent his son to the court. When his Majesty saw the imperial court, he looked up to him. He was pleased and said to his left and right: "This noble man in the clan can be a vassal, and I should use him."
He also heard about filial piety in Huainan and asked about it. Hengshan said: "My father is very kind. When he is dying, he especially cares about the livelihood of a small person. I listen to it, think about it, and serve him. This is not enough to be called filial piety, nor is it moral."
Xin said: "The holy dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and this is reflected within the clan. I am in charge of great affairs, and not giving rewards is not enough to convince people!" - "Hanshu Dong'ahou Family"
