"Don't you think it's good for your sister to become the queen?" Liu Xun asked his son Liu Taodao with interest.
"Father, you also know that the emperor is just a puppet of my Liu family. Sooner or later, he will be pulled down from the emperor's position by my family. If my sister is promised to him as the queen, doesn't that harm my sister? What's more, My aunt is the Queen Mother and has all the authority in the palace. There is no need for my sister to enter the palace to serve the little emperor!" Liu Tao said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Hearing these words, Prime Minister Liu Xun couldn't help but frown slightly: "Didn't you still doubt that your aunt the Queen Mother had betrayed the little emperor before? Why do you trust her so much now? About your aunt the Queen Mother?"
Liu Xunzhi's words could not help but make Liu Tao's face show a look of extreme astonishment: "Father, didn't you say earlier that it was the Queen Mother's way of testing my father's attitude? Since my father has given her dignity, the Queen Mother's aunt Now that I feel at ease, I think she won't mess around and can still be used by my Liu family. In that case, why bother sending my sister to the palace?"
Liu Tao's words made Prime Minister Liu Xun, a father, deeply disappointed.
Liu Tao, who saw something wrong from his father's expression, immediately asked again: "Father, is there anything wrong with what I said?"
"What's wrong? It's not just wrong, it's a big fallacy!" Prime Minister Liu Xun angrily lectured his son, "On the road to imperial power, no one can be trusted. It is precisely because of this , the emperor would be called a 'lonely man'! You know, people's minds change, and if you trust others easily like you, you will fall into trouble sooner or later!"
After hearing what his father Liu Xun said, Liu Tao immediately bowed his head slightly and said, "Thank you father for your teaching!"
Liu Xun glanced at his son, and continued to teach him helplessly: "Letting your sister marry the little emperor as the queen is not only to appease your aunt, but also to appease the little emperor. You know, as long as he accepts our abdication arrangement with peace of mind, we will not kill him. After all, isn’t the little emperor who married your sister also my son-in-law and your brother-in-law? If we even have one Even his legitimate daughter is unwilling to marry him, so he will inevitably think too much about it. When the time comes, he may use the dignity of the emperor to join forces with your uncertain aunt the Queen Mother to come up with something... In that case, Yu As far as the Liu family is concerned, this is not a good thing!"
After hearing what his father said, Liu Tao couldn't help but hesitantly gritted his teeth and asked: "Father, can't you let his sister marry into the palace and become the queen? Anyway, they are all daughters of my Liu family, who should I choose?" After that, it should be pretty much the same, right?"
"Stupid!" Prime Minister Liu Xun, who finally became impatient, couldn't help scolding his stupid son and said, "Listen to yourself, what did you say before? The legitimate daughter and the common daughter are here. If the palace is the empress, can the effect be the same? Liu Tao, in this huge world in the future, being a father will be in your hands. How can you let your emotions blind your eyes? If you In this way, how can I dare to entrust this huge world to your hands in the future?"
"Father, all the mistakes are the child's fault. I hope father won't be angry!" Liu Tao heard that his father's tone was a bit wrong and immediately leaned over to apologize.
"Okay! Okay! Go down!" Liu Xun waved his hand impatiently and said, "What I told you today, you should think about it carefully after you go back! In addition, the commander of the guard army, don't Forget about hammering!”
"Yes!" Liu Tao agreed, and then walked out of his father Liu Xun's study.
However, as soon as Liu Tao came out of the study, his face that was still slightly benevolent and cowardly suddenly turned cold.
Liu Tao looked back and glanced at the study where his father was, and couldn't help but sneered: Father, you are right. The reason why the emperor is called a "lonely man" is because he doubts everyone and believes no one! And father, you... may be called Prime Minister, but your authority is no different from that of the Emperor? Now, apart from not having the title of "Emperor", what is the difference between you and the Emperor? As the saying goes, "Being with a king is like being with a tiger." If I don't hide my clumsiness, if I don't have a "sister" that I care about, how can you trust me, the actual "prince"? However, should I say it or not, my sister’s excuse is really useful!
Thinking like this, Liu Tao quickly concealed the emotions in his eyes, and then hurriedly left the Prime Minister's Mansion, preparing to respect his father's will and go to the Guard Commander's office to give the Guard Commander a good beating!
However, what Liu Tao didn't know was that in the study room where his father Liu Xun was, at this moment, from unknown time, a figure had walked in front of Liu Xun from the darkness.
"Lao Fan, what do you think of my son?" Liu Xun did not show any surprise when he saw this person suddenly appearing in the study. On the contrary, in the eyes of outsiders, Prime Minister Liu Xun looked very majestic. , at this time, a gentle smile appeared on his face.
Facing Prime Minister Liu Xun's inquiry, the old man who came out of the darkness smiled and sighed: "A very good young man. It's a pity that although the emotions on his face are well disguised, his chest The beating heart reveals his true emotions!"
After a slight pause, the old man continued: "When the Prime Minister said that you wanted his sister to marry into the palace as your queen, he pretended to try his best to hide his reluctance, but he still couldn't. She didn't hide her status well, as if she really didn't want her sister to enter the palace and marry that puppet emperor. However, from the beginning to the end, the heart beating in her heart was always calm, never like this before. Any excessive ups and downs... Obviously, the expression on his face and his true thoughts in his heart are completely different!"
"That's good. At least, I can carry out my plan to usurp the throne with peace of mind, without worrying about having no successor!" Prime Minister Liu Xun sighed softly, as if satisfied, and then said this.
