My father is Emperor Wu of Han, how can I be different from him?

Chapter 4: A man has his own reasons

"You know I don't like the name 'everyone', right?"

"I know. I did it on purpose."

"…What do you want to talk to me about?"

"I can't look for you if nothing happens?"

"... Lady Ling, you should know how dangerous it is to come to my house!"

"I know. The emperor has many eyes and ears."

Liu Ling's repeated carelessness finally angered Zhuang Zhu, who coldly scolded him, "You know everything, do you want to die?!"

This question already has an answer.

Just like when facing Tian You’s questioning, Liu Ling’s attitude is always: no matter who dies, she will not die!
Seeing Zhuang Zhu's face darken and he lost his composure, Liu Ling stopped sarcasm and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Don't panic, you won't have to worry about it anymore."

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, Liu Ling smiled even more, and between his thin lips he spoke out his thoughts: "I plan to assassinate the crown prince, cause chaos in Chang'an, and cause unrest among the princes."

"Welcome my father, the king, to take over Weiyang!"

This statement came out.

Zhuang Zhu's gloomy face froze immediately. He slowly turned his head and stared straight into Liu Ling's smiling eyes.

After a short pause, he managed to squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth: "That's the crown prince! Is the princess trying to make fun of me?"

Liu Ling did not answer this question.

She simply looked Zhuang Zhu up and down, and with the corner of her mouth moving her nose, she let out a faint sound: "Tsk!"

it is more than words.

Zhuang Zhu didn't care about it at all and continued to stare at Liu Ling motionlessly until he was sure that the other party was not joking.

"Assassinate the crown prince? Once it happens, success or failure will be earth-shattering. Is the Prince of Huainan ready?"

"rest assured!"

When replying to this sentence, Liu Ling's tone was firm and solemn, "This time, not only Huainan Kingdom but also Hengshan Kingdom is involved in the uprising!"

"Moreover, my father has already prepared a killing move. As long as he executes the prime minister and the internal historian appointed by the court, he can send troops when chaos breaks out in Chang'an!"

talking.

Liu Ling stood up slowly, the hairpin in her hair swaying with her movements and rising high as she raised her head.

"Doctor Zhuang, after this is accomplished, you will definitely be one of the nine ministers!"

"By then, you will no longer be a 'great man' with a false title, but will actually be a jester or actor for the entertainment king!"

"You have been in the government for decades, working diligently, but you are still a senior official with a salary of 600 shi? Are you still deceiving yourself?"

"Oh, don't lie to yourself, Liu Che is just humiliating you!"

A comedian is an artist who makes a living by singing, dancing and entertaining people.

In the Han Dynasty, the status of such people can be vividly summarized in one word: they are kept as actors!
Lady Ling's words accurately and cruelly stung Zhuang Zhu's heart, causing his cheeks to twitch uncontrollably and his eyes to flash with ferocity.

this moment.

The room fell silent.

Liu Ling did not urge her, but just watched the other party weigh the pros and cons and struggle quietly. She was absolutely sure that the other party would make the right choice.

Ever since the day he noticed that Zhuang Zhu had resentment towards the emperor, Liu Ling knew that he could no longer escape from his control!
really.

"What do you want me to do?" As he said this, Zhuang Zhu drooped his eyelids to hide the brutality in his eyes.

Liu Ling felt the emotions that could not be seen.

So, she smiled.

"Hahaha." With a silver bell-like laugh, Liu Ling said easily: "It's simple, just asking you to pass on some news from the palace, it's not difficult!"

Zhuang Zhu understood the implication immediately, "You want me to use my access to the palace to monitor the prince's whereabouts?"

"Correct."

"……it is good!"

Having achieved his goal, Liu Ling did not linger any longer.

Just as she turned around, she seemed to remember something and raised her lips, "By the way, when I came here, I put a box of gold in your house as a gift." "Well, you can refuse it, but you can't refuse it!"

Done.

After another burst of giggles, Liu Ling walked away, leaving Zhuang Zhu alone in the hall, silent.

Sometimes, the party who pays the money does not necessarily need help from others.

It may also be that he wants to control people!

Once the money and property are collected, a transaction is made. Once a transaction is made, there is evidence. Once there is evidence, everyone feels at ease.

Then.

Looking back at the above conversations, is this really the case?
There is a pillar of talent in the court who has worked diligently for decades, but the emperor turns a blind eye to him and even humiliates him by treating him as an actor?
As the saying goes, a man has his own reasons and a woman has her own reasons.

About this matter.

When Liu Ju inquired, Huo Qubing said: "Zhuang Zhu and the other two are indeed talented and learned. They often discussed state affairs with Your Majesty in the palace."

"But Dongfang Shuo likes to exaggerate, so it's hard for your Majesty to trust him. Sima Xiangru has a free and easy personality and doesn't want to get too entangled in worldly affairs."

"Gradually, the two were regarded as poets and poets, and their loneliness was relieved. Only Zhuang Zhu was given important positions by His Majesty."

Champion House.

School grounds.

Liu Ju put down his somewhat sore arm and asked doubtfully, "Oh? But isn't Zhuang Zhu a doctor?"

An official position of 600 dan is also considered an important position?
Huo Qubing understood the meaning, pulled out an arrow from his quiver, and replied casually: "It is now, but it was not before."

"He was appointed by Your Majesty as the governor of Kuaiji, with a salary of two thousand stones, but he did nothing in his tenure for several years. He was terrified, so he submitted a petition to resign and asked to enter the palace to write poems for Your Majesty to absolve himself of blame."

After listening to this, Liu Ju seemed to understand something.

No wonder Zhuang Zhu is often silent compared to Dongfang and Sima, which is probably related to his experience.

But as I was thinking, suddenly.

"Hey, that's not right!" Liu Ju looked at Huo Qubing in confusion, "Cousin, do you know the inside story so well?"

"Everyone knows these people." Huo Qu said, "Although each of them has shortcomings, they are worthy of their reputation in poetry."

“Everyone knows their deeds.”

Those who can be called masters have their own famous works, such as Sima Xiangru's "Zixu Fu" and "Shanglin Fu", Dongfang Shuo's "Da Ke Nan", and Zhuang Zhu's "Xiang'er Jing".

It is widely sought after in Chang'an and even in the whole world.

Their life stories were also spread along with their poems and essays, and had long been known everywhere.

The only difference may be that others may embellish the story when retelling it, but Huo Qubing spoke frankly when he told Liu Ju.

The advantages are mentioned, and the disadvantages are not concealed.

At this time.

Huo Qubing had already drawn his bow and arrow, and he did not forget to say: "The literary talent of these three people is indeed worth learning, but the others..."

"Whoosh!"

The arrow flew through the air and hit the bull's eye.

After putting away his bow, Huo Qubing continued, "As for the rest, it will not be too late for Your Highness to ask for advice after His Majesty has appointed the Grand Tutor and Junior Tutor."

This is what I really think.

No one who is not a close relative would say such words willing to offend others.

Liu Ju naturally knew what was good and what was bad. He stepped forward and presented Huo Qubing with a new arrow. He said seriously, "Thank you for your advice, cousin."

"Hey!"

Huo Qubing pretended to blame Liu Ju and slapped him on the shoulder, "After I thank my cousin, how can I go to see my aunt in the future?"

"We are a family, stop acting like this!"

After hearing this, Liu Ju lowered his eyes and silently remembered this friendship.

But in an instant, he lost his seriousness, glared, and put on his funny face again, "Haha, I was just being polite to my cousin, you took it seriously?"

"Hey! You kid..."
