The night was getting darker.

Liu Che's prince's carriage drove on the streets of Chang'an.

The night scene of Chang'an outside the car window is as prosperous as a star, with countless lights flickering and candlelight flickering.

Although he was already very tired, Liu Che still fought hard to keep his condition perfect.

The carriage stopped in front of a house.

This is a house that is not of the highest grade in Chang'an.

At the door, there was not even a stone lion.

Liu Che got out of the carriage, a gust of north wind blew, and he felt a little cold on his body, so he tightened his clothes.

"Home!" At this slightly shabby gate, a figure with a few subordinates stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed: "The minister's father is very happy to hear that the house is visiting, and the ministers are here to welcome him!" ”

This person is Shen Tujia's eldest son, Shen Tu Jia, who once had a relationship with Liu Che.

Speaking of which, since returning to Chang'an, Liu Che came to visit the old prime minister for the first time.

In the past, they all sent Ji Di, Yan Yi or Zhang Tang to come to condole.

Thinking about it, Liu Che blushed a little.

Shen Tu led Liu Che into the mansion, and as soon as he entered the door, Liu Che found that the entire Shen Tu Mansion had been cleaned, even so, it could still be seen that the family of this dignified former prime minister was shabby.

Along the way, Liu Che saw no more than ten servants.

Basically, the total number of subordinates in the entire mansion may not exceed twenty!

Such a family background, let alone a dignified Han family prime minister, is a complete marquis!

It is an ordinary landlord's house around Chang'an. I'm afraid, it's stronger than the Shentu Jia family!

A qiē, Liu Che often hears people. The old prime minister is honest, does not take bribes, and is not greedy for money.

Only when I see it at this moment can I really believe it.

But, inexplicably, Liu Che felt a feeling of depression in his heart.

In the previous life, after the death of Shen Tujia. Quickly people went to tea and cooled, so the name Anhou sank from then on, and everyone was lost.

Liu Che looked around the courtyard and beyond.

He shook his head. sighed: "The old prime minister has worked hard for the country and the society all his life, it shouldn't be such a treatment!" ”

Liu Che remembers it very clearly.

This old prime minister was the first prime minister to wield a knife to slash at public funds on the issue of eating and drinking.

Last year, under its construction, the emperor's father issued an edict. From now on. All public funds for eating and drinking expenses are fully covered by themselves.

Whether it is the imperial history of the central government to the local investigation, or the officials passing by a certain place! (Note 1)

At the same time, as Zhang Cang's successor, he continued to forcefully implement Zhang Cang's reform measures under the pressure of the emperor above and the resistance of the bureaucrats below.

It's not Shen Tujia's fault, after Zhang Cang leaves office, the set of political measures he invented based on mathematical foundations may be difficult to maintain.

Not to mention. This old prime minister, for a long time. It is Liu Che's protective umbrella.

protected Liu Che through the most vulnerable and dangerous period.

Liu Che has always kept this kindness in his heart.

But such an old minister with clean sleeves and dedication to the country can't even get a place in the history books, so he can only be attached to Zhang Cang's biography.

His past and history are buried in the long river of history.

Liu Che took heavy steps, and under the guidance of Shen Tu Jia, he came to Shen Tu Jia's bedroom.

"Boy, meet the old prime minister!" As soon as he entered the door, Liu Che bowed slightly and bowed to the juniors.

Shen Tujia, who was lying on the sickbed, hurriedly struggled to get up, and reluctantly with the support of the maid beside him, got up, beat his spirit, and said: "Don't be like this at home, it's a bad deal!" ”

Liu Che got up, sat down next to Shen Tujia, held his hand, and said, "Old Prime Minister, don't get excited, lie down and rest!" ”

At this time, Shen Tujia no longer has the spirit of blowing his nose and glaring at Chao Cuo in the court, shouting and shouting and killing.

He's now languishing and out of human form.

Obviously, the stroke ended his political life and also caused an irreversible blow to his health and spirit.

For such an old man who has been fighting for half his life, and then he is the prime minister, the current situation is indeed a situation that is more painful than death!

In later generations, how many officials of the Celestial Dynasty, when they were in power, were majestic, once retired, and turned white overnight.

Shen Tujia is not greedy for money, but he has a good name and likes to be lively.

Liu Che has been with Shen Tujia for a long time, so he can naturally see at a glance what his current problem is.

For him, the government has become a coexisting whole with his life.

To paraphrase the words of later generations, people like Shen Tujia were born in politics and died in politics.

This can be seen from the fact that after he saw Liu Che coming, he got up regardless of it.

Because, Liu Che's arrival made him see an opportunity to regain his influence in the political arena.

Even, after Liu Che sat down beside him, his spirit was reactivated.

His eyes were full of longing.

It's like a veteran longing for the smoke of the battlefield.

Liu Che held Shen Tujia's hand, he naturally knew this.

After a slight straightening of his thoughts, Liu Che said: "Old Prime Minister, Lone came this time because I have questions, and I want to ask the old prime minister!" ”

When Liu Che said this, he obviously felt that the old prime minister in the past was back.

I only heard Shen Tujia say: "But please talk about it, the old minister will do his best to solve the doubts for the family!" ”

So, Liu Che told the strangeness of Liu Wu, the king of Chu, his father, and Chao Cuo, as well as his incomprehension.

Then he asked: "Please teach me, what is going on in this situation?" ”

After listening to Liu Che's story, Shen Tujia laughed hehehe.

Then, he looked at Liu Che and bowed his head and said: "At home, if the old minister's eyes haven't been blinded, then this matter, nine times out of ten, is what King Wu did!" ”

"Wu Wang Liu Bi?" Liu Che was puzzled, Liu Bi was far away in Wu Kingdom, his hand shouldn't be able to stretch out so long, right?

Shen Tujia laughed twice and said, "Do you know that money can be spiritual?" ”

He grinned and said: "King Wu Liu Bi is rich in the world, and he is among the nobles in this pass." His eyeliner doesn't know geometry, and some people even blatantly move in Guanzhong in his name, which is naturally clear to the former prime minister. Your Majesty also knows, and you also understand! ”

"Therefore, this matter is definitely not as ...... as the family thinks" Shen Tujia laughed in a low voice: "Chao Wrong, although the old minister doesn't like it very much, the old minister will never believe it, he dares to be pretentious in this kind of thing." Even if it was verbal hints and instigation, he didn't have the guts. Today, he is not the kind of man who can tolerate courtiers playing such cleverness, if Chao Cuo dares to do that, then he will not be far from death! ”

Shen Tujia's words. Although it was not said too carefully.

But Liu Che was immediately woken up.

Yes. Other things can be corrected, as long as there is merit afterwards, the emperor will never pursue it, and will even help to conceal it.

But when it comes to princes and kings, who dares to be overbearing?

This is a dead act of stepping on the bottom line, even a fool will not step on this line, joking with his own net worth!

In this way, the role played by Chao Cuo in this situation is clearly explained.

That is. He was just a bystander, and at most he took advantage of the situation. Then sit back and watch the show.

And Liu Wu, the king of Chu, is not a victim, and people are probably taking the opportunity to test the court, whether they dare to move him.

And Liu Wei, the king of Wu, was desperately pushing the court to move Liu Wu.

The reason is very simple, if Liu Wu is not beaten, or even killed, it will be impossible for Chu to get on Liu Wei's chariot.

Unlike in the previous life, now, the entire Qi and Zhao princes were temporarily controlled and controlled by the Han court, and most of their military power was in the hands of Dou Ying in Xingyang.

Without soldiers, Qi Zhao wants to rebel? By those thousands, if not hundreds, of palace guards?

Is it funny?

But Liu Che is confused again, why is Liu Wu not afraid?

It stands to reason that Liu Wu should be desperately pulling relationships everywhere now to justify himself, right?

But why is he like nobody?

So, Liu Che expressed this doubt.

When Shen Tujia heard this, he laughed and asked Liu Che, "Do you know who the prince of Chu is at home?" Who is the Prime Minister of the King of Chu? ”

"Know, Yue Yiwu, Zhang Shang!" Liu Che nodded and replied, for these two people, Liu Che's only impression was probably that they were killed in their previous life because they opposed Liu Wu's rebellion.

Shen Tujia laughed and explained to Liu Che: "Do you know from the family, what is the origin of these two people? ”

Shen Tujia explained with a smile: "These two people, Zhang Shangzhi, the brother of Zhang Yu, the general of King Liang, are also the family of generals, the Chu Xiang appointed by the first emperor, the Taifu Yue Yiwu, the younger brother of the King of Chu Yuan, and the leader of the literary circle of the Chu State, and the supervising minister of the first emperor's order!" ”

"Ah......" Liu Che's mouth opened wide, he couldn't imagine that there was such a god unfolding!

It's really an old family, if there is a treasure.

It's not Shen Tujia's fault, Liu Che doesn't understand this complicated relationship and situation at all.

To put it simply, the prime minister and the prince of Chu Liu Wu are both the emperor's father's people.

In other words, Liu Wu sued the emperor's father through these two people, and he didn't plan to follow Liu Wei all the way.

Since Liu Wu is in line, then he is his own person.

No matter how big a mistake is made by one's own people, it is forgivable to the emperor.

However, if Chao Cuo wants to cut the domain, he must find a guilty prince.

At this time, Liu Bi handed the knife to Chao Cuo.

Then, Chao Cuo planned to wait and see, see the situation, and then decide to move Liu Wu.

During this period, the forces of the various parties played against each other.

Therefore, it has caused all kinds of illusions that Liu Che does.

However, the fact is that all the people involved in the board game, including Liu Che's father, have their own goals.

The emperor's father wanted to see how many of King Wu's internal responses were in this court, so he didn't move, and even today's questioning of Liu Che was a temptation, testing whether there were any people around Liu Che who had mixed up with Liu Biao.

And Chao Cuo chose the easiest choice in the dilemma of the temptation of cutting the feudal domain and the fear of burning himself--being a grass on the wall, and the wind blows on both sides, so until now, Chao Cuo's imperial historian Yamen has maintained a strange silence, that is, he will not impeach Liu Wu or refute rumors.

As for Liu Bi, jumping up and down, of course, is to create chaos, and it is best to let the imperial court take this opportunity to kill or even imprison Liu Wu.

In this way, he has an excuse.

From this point of view, if Liu Bi wants to rebel, he can't wait or even be impatient!

Come to think of it, God is so powerful, if he doesn't want to be tempted anymore, he will be a fool!

It's just that, if you look like today, it's very bad for Liu Bi.

The kings of Qi and Zhao, who were also thieves in their previous lives, remained silent, and the king of Chu also fell to the emperor when he saw that the situation was not good.

In such a situation, if Liu Bi wants to succeed in his rebellion, there is only one possibility, that is, to force the rebellion against the Chu State, and then march to Huaisi, march to Qi Zhao, and fight a decisive battle in Xingyang.

And to do this, the state of Chu must stand with him.

So, the scandal of Liu Wu's incest was kicked out.

Looking back now, Liu Che found that compared with his previous life, Liu Wu's charges this time were clearer.

Even the objects and details of incest are clearly disclosed......

In the previous life, there was only one vague 'adultererous obedience'.

Although incest can also be involved, at the very least, these four words can be interpreted as adultery...... (To be continued......)
