Section 256 Retreat in the face of difficulties
Liu Che quietly looked up at his father's smiling face.
At this moment, Liu Che had a doubt in his heart.
It stands to reason that whoever does the prince's affairs, the young master, and Zhan's affairs, the prince himself has no right to speak.
In the history of the Han Dynasty, there has never been an instance where an emperor would ask the crown prince for advice.
Basically, they are blind marriages.
"In other words......" Liu Che thought in his heart: "Daddy is probably borrowing my mouth to eliminate a ......"
Liu Che knew that as the emperor, his father would not be untargeted, let alone whimsical.
What he does is generally well thought out.
So the key now is, who is the one that daddy wants to eliminate?
Then, find some reason to eliminate the other one and move the seat to Wei Juan.
Liu Che knew deep in his heart that he, the prince, wanted to do it steadily.
First of all, we have to shoot the emperor's father's sycophants well, and the emperor's father's support is better than a qiē for him.
Secondly, the Empress Dowager Dou of the East Palace also has to be happy, only by coaxing the Empress Dowager Dou well, can he not go back to the backyard fire.
Liu Che's eyes swirled around Shi Fen, Zhang Wu, Zhang Shizhi and Feng Tang.
First of all, Shi Fen can be sure and must have obtained his father's permission and promise, otherwise, Shi Fen would not appear here.
Shi is only cautious in his life, and they will not do things that they are not completely sure of!
One of the remaining three people must have been disliked by Daddy, but it was due to embarrassment or other reasons. It's hard to veto, so he pushed the pot on Liu Che and let Liu Che decide by himself.
In this case, even if Liu Che chose the wrong person. The emperor's father can also calmly veto.
Thinking of this, Liu Che couldn't help but glance at Zhang Shizhi.
is really Zhang Shizhi's biggest suspicion!
But......
Liu Che looked at Zhou Yafu, who was kneeling next to Zhang Shizhi, and he was not sure.
Zhou Yafu's current status is unknown, among all the courtiers, Zhou Yafu is definitely an indispensable one.
In order to entrap Liu Wu, the emperor's father can even take out the position of the prince as a bait.
And it is not surprising that Emperor Zhou Yafu's father used the official position of one of the three auxiliary ministers of the crown prince.
Not to mention. Now that Liu An is dead, then Zhang Shizhi must be meritorious.
Because if you don't recognize Zhang Shizhi's credit, then it means that Liu An is not guilty. This is a very simple political reasoning. It is also the unchanging truth that is broken on the political zhì, and you don't see it, and those giants of the Celestial Empire who collapsed in later generations entered Qincheng once. Then all his past qiē was wrong. Right and wrong! On the contrary, all the people he hit were overturned, and it was right to be wrong!
So it won't be Zhang Shizhi!
It's very simple, since Zhou Yafu dares to recommend Zhang Shizhi, then he must have negotiated with the emperor's father and even won the emperor's support.
No, with Zhou Yafu's character. He wasn't so bold yet.
You must know that Zhou Yafu at this moment is not the first lieutenant who calmed the rebellion of Wu Chu in his previous life. Zhou Yafu, who has high self-service merit and a prime minister's bonus.
If Liu Che remembers correctly, the famous idiom, the sweaty protagonist is Zhou Yafu.
A person who can be intimidated by the emperor to the point of sweating cannot risk offending the emperor and blatantly recommend people that the emperor does not like to accept to be the prince's minister.
In that case, Zhou Yafu will die!
As for Zhang Wu, it seems to be the same thing.
But after looking at Chao Cuo, Liu Che was a little hesitant again.
Everyone knows that Zhang Wu's current reputation is not much better than horse manure on the street.
But Chao Cuo still dares to recommend Zhang Wu, if he is not sure, then Chao Cuo is too stupid!
Liu Che didn't think that Chao Cuo would make such a mistake.
Obviously, there's a story behind this!
So......
Liu Che looked down at Feng Tang.
After passing the guò elimination method, Liu Che believed that Feng Tang's exit was a doomed thing.
First of all, Feng Tang did not appear for twenty years after Liu Che's resignation in his previous life, and he was not elected until Xiaozhu ascended the throne, when Feng Tang was already over ninety years old, so people in the history books said that Feng Tang was easy to get old, and Li Guang was difficult to seal.
Besides, what is Yuan Ang doing here?
I want to get involved in everything!
Liu Che felt that if he was the emperor, he would also be alert to such a courtier and such a momentum.
Think about it, if you are the emperor, and one of your ministers has just been reinstated, and he is still in the stage of making meritorious contributions, but he jumps up and down to contradict the ministers you support, and he is still entangled with his henchmen to compete for the position of prime minister.
That's it, he actually wanted to put his hand into the palace and infiltrate the prince.
You are the emperor, what do you think?
As long as you are not an idiot, you will choose to let that guy die!
Liu Che thought he had figured it out.
However, he really didn't want to carry Feng Tang Yilao's pot.
After a moment of silence, Liu Che looked at the ministers present.
If you don't want to take the blame, you have to find a scapegoat......
But looking around at the courtiers seated, none of them could be used and instructed by Liu Che.
What to do?
Liu Che mobilized his brain with all his strength to think about countermeasures.
Suddenly, an idea came to him.
Maybe that's how it goes......
So, Liu Che bowed down and said: "Father and Emperor are above, please let the sons and daughters report: Heaven and earth are the princes, non-human sons can discuss, if the father asks the sons, the sons can only say that the old lady Fu is highly respected, and the sons and daughters once taught the elders in Hedong Township: The Qi family governs the country and the world, and the husband is beautiful!" The old lady is filial piety, and her family is a country, and her sons respect her! ”
As soon as Liu Che's words came out, Shi Fen's face immediately smiled, and he hurriedly said modestly: "Don't dare to be the praise of the family!" ”
"The Qi family rules the country and the world?" Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, said: "Sure enough, there are great sages in the township! ”
This Qi family governing the country and leveling the world seems to be the ideal of Confucianism in later generations, and there is no such statement at the moment. Liu Che hurriedly changed the topic and continued: "Zhang Tingwei abides by the law and does not mean anything, Feng Gongyan will take the lead and raise virtue, Kong Zhongni said: I don't know who he is, I regard him as a friend, I am talking about the two elders!" The book says: No partiality or party, the royal road is swinging, no party is not biased, and the royal road is convenient. Honestly! ”
Everyone loves to listen to good words, hearing Liu Che's praise, Feng Tang and Zhang Shizhi hurriedly bowed and said: "The family is praised!" I dare not be ashamed! ”
Liu Che turned to look at Zhang Wu and said: "General Zhang has been in Chang'an for twenty-three years since the first emperor, he has been loyal to the monarch and observed, and has made many achievements. The sons of the ministers passed the great sun, went to Wu Mountain and worshiped Taiyi, climbed high and looked far away, vaguely heard the people in the mountains and forests to compose songs, the words said: Erlu Er, the people are fat and the people are ointment, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive! Erchen thought that this song should be included in Yuefu as a warning, so that the officials of the world would know it! ”
Zhang Wu listened at first, with a smile on his face, but when he heard the back, his face became embarrassed, especially when he heard 'Erlu Er, the people's fat and people's ointment', the whole person was instantly not good.
Heaven can see mercy!
None of the bribes he accepted at the beginning belonged to the people.
All were enshrined by nobles and officials.
However, he did not dare to defend himself.
He could only staggered down and knelt down, and confessed: "The teachings of the family, the ministers remember them......"
The crown prince has already made his opinion clear, and if he still doesn't understand, he will live in vain.
What's more, no matter what, it is indeed a stain that he cannot deny.
Although there are very few people in this court who are not greedy.
But who told him to be caught and used as a model? (To be continued......)
