Zhong Changtong couldn't help but chuckle. His and Xu Shu's plans in the near future were mostly successful. He and Pang Tong were very close in the past. Of course, they are also good friends now. However, Pang Tong refused to enter the palace.
Zhongtai's request, as to why, is because Zhong Changtong's popularity in the temple is too poor, and he himself is not at the level of Sanling. If he is brought to Shizhongtai, he is afraid that the ministers will not discuss anything anymore.
Important matters, quarreling and fighting all day long.
Zhong Changtong failed to enter the imperial court, and then lost the opportunity to meet the emperor. The emperor was busy with his own affairs all day long, and was unwilling to pay attention to the important affairs of the temple. How could he pay attention to a mere temple servant like him?
What about shooting? This made Zhong Changtong completely ignored in the temple. Zhong Changtong once went on a tour with Emperor Xiaode. From that day on, he has been thinking about how to improve his ideas.
Now there are finally some methods, but there is no way to see the emperor again. Zhong Changtong visited the emperor several times, but failed. Therefore, he has been discussing with Xu Shu how to meet the emperor, so what?
To convince the emperor, he deliberately angered Zhongshu Ling, because he knew that Zhongshu Ling would definitely talk to the emperor, and was afraid that he would talk to the emperor too much. But in this way, it would arouse the emperor's interest. The emperor was quite
She is playful and loves all novel things.
After Liu Yi's repeated impeachments, Liu Qu finally became interested in Zhong Changtong, and then invited him to come to meet him. Before Zhong Changtong came, he was fully prepared for today's events, so he
Without panic at all, he chatted enthusiastically with the emperor. Liu Qu liked humorous people. This can be seen from his closeness to the old man Handan Chun. After chatting with Zhong Changtong for a long time, Liu Qu just remembered
He fulfilled his purpose of calling him here.
"I don't think you are a rude person. I don't know why, but my uncle hates you so much?" Liu Qu asked about the confusion in his heart. Zhong Changtong smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing.
The main reason is that Liu Linggong had some misunderstandings about me." Hearing Zhong Changtong's words, Liu Qu laughed, nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Uncle's temper is indeed not very good, and so is he.
It’s understandable that I was born as a male sheep, so what exactly caused my uncle to misunderstand me?”
"Your Majesty, it's like this. I found that the court meetings gradually lost their effect. All discussions were concentrated on Shizhongtai, and Shizhongtai became more and more powerful. Liu Linggong lost his power, so I went to find Ling.
Sir, I propose that a court meeting be held once a year. If something major happens, it can also be held. The court meeting will be responsible for recommending the ministers of Shi Zhongtai. In this way, the court meeting can also play a restrictive role on Shi Zhongtai, and
The power in the hands of Zhongshu Ling has naturally increased greatly."
Zhong Changtong asked seriously: "Didn't your Majesty notice it?"
"Perceive what?"
"How powerful the Shizhongtai is. Today, the ministers of the Shizhongtai stay in the Houde Hall and handle state affairs. Your Majesty can still suppress them now, but what about in the future? What if the court can have the power to recommend the ministers of the Shizhongtai
, then, the ministers in the Shizhongtai also have a restricted place, and they can no longer do whatever they want. If there is any unethical behavior, the ministers can directly remove them at the meeting. This is the most important thing."
"Therefore, my proposal is not only beneficial to Liu Linggong, but also of great benefit to the Han Dynasty, and the same is true for Your Majesty..." Zhong Changtong said excitedly. Liu Qu listened to his words, but did not say anything.
He showed so much excitement that he curled his lips and said: "I hate court discussions the most. No matter if they are banned, I can trust the ministers in the temple..."
"Your Majesty, they are trustworthy, but what about the next generation, and the next generation after that? Your Majesty can't just think about the present..." Zhong Changtong suddenly panicked. After thinking about it for so long, why did the emperor still seem to have nothing?
Where is the interest? Banning court meetings? What kind of operation is this? Liu Qu looked at Zhong Changtong and said unhappily: "I am tired of being annoyed by these things all the time... My uncle said so, and so do you.
in this way...."
"Then why are you arguing?"
"Probably because Liu Linggong thinks that I am going to be unfavorable to His Majesty, and thinks that my behavior is taking away His Majesty's control over the Shizhongtai. Your Majesty, think about it for yourself. The imperial meeting is convened by Zhongshu Ling, and they are responsible for the restrictions.
, Your Majesty does not have to do anything in the future, you can just do what you like with peace of mind. Isn't this a good thing for Your Majesty? For Liu Linggong, Liu Linggong's power has been greatly increased. For the ministers, they
I will also be happy..."
Zhong Changtong tried to persuade him for a long time, but Liu Qu became more and more impatient, and his tone gradually became cold. Zhong Changtong sighed helplessly, and was finally invited out by the eunuch. However, Liu Qu
He also promised him that he would think carefully about his proposal. However, Zhong Changtong understood that his plan had probably failed. When he walked out of the palace dejectedly, he happened to meet Liu Yi.
Liu Yi hurried over after learning that Zhong Changtong had come to the palace. Now when he saw Zhong Changtong, he was furious and rushed over. The lost Zhong Changtong did not notice him.
However, Liu Yi grabbed him by the neck and suddenly lifted him up like a chicken. Zhong Changtong was choked so hard that he could not speak. His face turned red and his eyes widened, "You thief, I
Might Mrs. Liu treat you badly? I will never die if you want to kill me!!!"
Liu Yi cursed loudly, and his actions were naturally seen by the Huangmen and Su guards around him. Immediately, everyone came to persuade him, and some Su guards wanted to pull him away. However, Liu Yi's physique was not comparable to that of the emperor.
Not inferior, just like a black knot, let alone the Yellow Gate, even the guards could not open it. Just when the situation was tense and Zhong Changtong was about to be strangled to death by Liu Yi, Liu Yi just let go of his hand and pulled it open.
Zhong Changtong fell to the ground.
Liu Yi was particularly angry. He said fiercely: "If you let me know that you are coming to meet the emperor again, I will definitely tear you alive!"
There was no fear on Zhong Changtong's face. Hearing Liu Yi's words, he laughed wildly. He looked at Liu Yi in front of him with contempt and said: "You are the idiot who wants to destroy the Han Dynasty! From now on!
From ancient times to the present, is there an immortal dynasty? Zhuge Linggong eliminated the external troubles of the Han Dynasty, and I want to get rid of the internal troubles. In this way, the Han Dynasty can truly last forever, otherwise it will fall into endless reincarnation.
Loop, you idiot, kill me now if you dare!"
Seeing that Liu Yi was about to rush forward and fight with Zhong Changtong, Zhuge Liang appeared behind him at some point, "Liu Linggong, don't do anything...", he said, and listening to his words, Liu Yi
Just after he attacked Zhong Changtong, Zhuge Liang looked at Zhong Changtong and ordered: "This man is disrespectful because he is talking about the temple. I will hand him over to Duke Manchu of the Xingfu." After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, several guards came forward and directly
He grabbed Zhong Changtong and took him away from here.
During this period, Zhong Changtong said nothing and just looked at Liu Yi coldly.
Watching Zhong Changtong being taken away, Liu Yi just felt relieved. Seeing Zhong Changtong's appearance when he came out, he thought that his plan had not succeeded. Liu Yi thought like this, looked at Zhuge Liang aside and said: "This
How can a dog thief compare himself to Zhuge Linggong? Does he deserve it? Haha, I hope Man Jun can control his temper this time!" Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said: "We can't punish him severely."
"Why?"
"Because the household cannot do without him. If he is not here, all the statistical affairs he has carried out will be interrupted."
"Then why did your father-in-law send him to the prison?"
Zhuge Liang did not answer and walked towards the palace. Liu Yi hurriedly followed him. On the road, Zhuge Liang was still thinking about Zhong Changtong's words. Liu Yi had turned his back to him and did not see him, but Zhong Changtong was obviously
He saw himself. His words seemed to be spoken deliberately for his own listening. The cycle he mentioned was first proposed by Zhuge Liang. However, Zhuge Liang's ideas and all the difficulties came from
outside, so he thought of ending this cycle by conquering outside the Great Wall.
When the two of them entered the Tai Palace, Huangmen had already informed Liu Qu about Zhong Changtong.
Liu Qu seemed a little helpless. He didn't really want to hear about these conflicts among the ministers, especially from his uncle's mouth. Before Liu Yi could complain, Zhuge Liang accepted it: "Your Majesty... Zhong Changtong just now
When we arrived at the palace, we talked about reincarnation?"
"What? No!"
Liu Qu looked at Zhuge Liang blankly. Zhuge Liang had just said what Zhong Changtong had just said. Liu Yi also nodded with jealousy and added: "Zhuge Linggong is right. This guy just thinks that the Han Dynasty will perish, so why not?"
Compared with Zhuge Linggong, he is cursing the Han, he is looking forward to the destruction of the Han, how can such a thief not die?" After Zhong Changtong finished speaking, Zhuge Liang added:
"I have always believed that this cycle exists. However, I feel that the power of destruction still comes from outside, so I have been conquering outside the Great Wall. Today, Zhong Changtong's words made me a little confused...",
Zhuge Liang said seriously.
"Comes from within..." For some reason, Liu Qu's expression suddenly changed. He stood up instantly, looked at Zhuge Liang in front of him blankly, muttered a few words to himself, then calmed down, and shook his head.
He raised his head and said: "Zhong Changtong has no serious crime. He just wants to make the big man better. Don't pay attention to him. Let Manjun lock him up for a few days and then let him go."
Zhuge Liang nodded. Although he didn't know why the emperor's reaction was so big, he didn't ask any more questions. Liu Yi was a little unconvinced. He said, "How could your majesty let him go so easily? He..."
"Uncle...I have already made my decision, no need to say more."
Liu Qu spoke, but his tone was a little different. The irritable Liu Yi stared at him for a long time before saying "I'm sorry."
