All those who ascend to the supreme position must first be confident. If they are not confident, they will be suspicious, and if they are suspicious, they will kill themselves.It is a great disaster for the country to exercise power, yet feel uneasy at home, doubt oneself and harm others, and even the disaster of Tanjiang Prefecture and Yuewumu.

In the past, Wang Sheng only knew that Liu Fu was quite taboo about his parentage, and that other than himself, no one else could easily mention it, but he never knew that he thought so in his heart.Wang Sheng interrupted Liu Fu just now, not because he didn't want to hear his self-deprecating words, but because he knew that once Liu Fu fell into it, it would be a misfortune for the country.Today's events can still be made up for; tomorrow's disasters may not be easy to measure.

He held Liu Fu's hand, but Liu Fu's hand was hanging limply and did not respond, so Wang Sheng let go of him, and leaned back slowly with his support, as if he wanted to lean against the wall of the car again. Fu saw that he was really struggling, so he bent down and supported his shoulders, letting him borrow some strength.Wang Sheng took the opportunity to persuade him: "Your Majesty, sit down first." Seeing that the space left by the collapsed edge was too narrow, he wanted to move inside, but he gritted his teeth and moved several times in a row. Just tossing around in place.Liu Fu's heart ached when he saw it, and he moved his fingers subconsciously. There seemed to be some hard touch left on them, which was the feeling of Wang Sheng's protruding shoulder blades pressing on the palm of his hand just now.His expression finally collapsed, and he sat down beside Wang Sheng, but his eyes only fell on a strand of Wang Sheng's loose hair, instead of looking into his eyes, he just pursed his mouth and remained silent.

Then Wang Sheng said again: "Your Majesty, do you know the former Zhao Gaozu Liu Yuan?"

Liu Fu glanced at him, but nodded without saying a word.

"Liu Yuan and the king belonged to the same family. Every time he heard that the generals slaughtered the people, he always gave them a deep warning. Although he caused wars and chaos, he had a heart of love for the people. Kuang Yuan did not demean himself deeply because of his race, but even more He said, "How can a husband be a king forever? Dayu came from Xirong, and King Wen was born in Dongyi, and was taught by Gu Weide. This heroic speech can be read resoundingly. The king should know that a man has no family!"

Liu Fu moved, his eyes turned to him, as if he was thinking about something, then he sneered and said, "Isn't it the evaluation of Liu Yuan by the Han people in the future?"

Finally when it came to the key point, Wang Cheng's eyes were fixed, and he leaned forward slightly: "This is because his son is conceited, arrogant and indulgent, cruel and has no relatives. If he can keep the righteous way and love his people, how can he die so quickly?" The disaster? The downfall of Zhao is not due to his race, if the king follows this example, will Yongzuo's restoration be safe in the long run?"

Liu Fu bounced up violently, "I...how can I be boastful and licentious, cruel and unaccompanied!"

He is now almost full of turmoil and war, and Wang Sheng couldn't help but laugh, and skillfully said for him: "I just use this as an example. The king can accept his words and release the tribes outside the Lu family. It is not Liu Cong's generation." As far as I can."

Liu Fu snorted softly, and sat back down again.

Wang Sheng continued: "I promulgated new laws in the middle of Sichuan in the past. At the beginning, the people complained and feared, and they didn't understand the intention of the court. There were many voices of discussion, and there were many unbearable words about my body, which were more than Li's. My ministers always The teachings made the common people understand the beauty of the new law. The law has been practiced for a year, and the people of Shu have no complaints." He took a break, and then said: "The king only cares about himself and loves the people. He will be kind to the people and give benevolent government to the four directions. , so that the people will be safe and the hearts of the people will be at peace, and after ten years, if anyone who says this again, I will be the king and kill him."

"En." Liu Fu finally replied in a muffled voice.Wang Sheng's words were no different from Kuai Mao's remonstrance at the court that day, but he didn't feel uncomfortable listening to Wang Sheng's words today.Compared with Kuai Mao and the Chu family's father and son, although Wang Sheng is a minister of uprightness, he is tough but soft, he retreats first and advances later, after a few words, he calmed down the anger in his heart little by little.

Seeing that the time had come, Wang Sheng changed the subject and said, "However, Your Majesty did make a mistake this time."

Liu Fu moved on the edge of the collapse, moved again, and finally said: "Then tell me, where did I go wrong?"

The smile faded from Wang Sheng's eyes, and he began to clean up, "There are two mistakes in the king: one is the loss of the people, and the other is the loss of the officials."

Liu Fu looked straight into Wang Sheng's eyes, Wang Sheng took advantage of him not being able to see, quietly pressed his hands on his stomach, tried his best to breathe steadily, and said, "The whole family of the Lu family was convicted for one word; The man was arrested without any crime. Although the king let him go home, his heart is already suspicious. The people in the capital heard about it and were shocked, so what can we do?"

Liu Fu was silent.

Wang Sheng then continued, "Tingwei Zuojian, a loyal and upright scholar, is quite like my father. The king ordered him to do things that affect the people. This is not the behavior of a gentleman. The left supervisor gave up three times. The king will change people and do it." If so, wouldn’t it be cold to the ministers? The ministers heard that the Yushi doctor, the Zhongcheng, and the admonisher all had words of loyalty and advice. The king could listen to his words but could not accept them all. He still implicated the Lu family. How is it different from not accepting his words and exiling thousands of people? The upright people in the court will sigh with regret even though they have not spoken out."

Liu Fu looked slightly embarrassed, and said: "I have done this, what else can I do?"

Wang Sheng sighed softly, "I rushed back from Luoyang not to say what I just said to the king, but for the next thing to do."

"Jing Huan taught me."

"What makes the people uneasy is that they don't know how the Lu family committed the crime of treason, which resulted in the whole family being imprisoned. They think that they offended the generals of hundreds of households, and thus offended the king."

Liu Fu was thoughtful, and interrupted: "I will exile one of Liu Yi."

"Throwing soldiers and guarding commanders, this is one of them." Wang Sheng nodded, his eyes darkened, "Your Majesty, you can order the soldiers to search out the armor and weapons from Lu's mansion, and bring them out in public, so as to avoid the discussion of the people."

Liu Fu also nodded slowly when he heard the words.What he did before was just to give Lu Jiaan a name of treason, but now that it was done, Wang Sheng added the fact of rebellion to them, and simply made the Lu family's treason a final case, which was more ruthless than him.

"As for how to appease the ministers, this is the art of the imperial servants, and should be the leader of the king, it is not something that the ministers dare to say."

Liu Fu's heart knot has been resolved, and seeing Wang Sheng's expression was disastrous, and he was dripping with cold sweat, he couldn't help being moved: "Jing Huan, I... I understand. Hey! I'm the one who caused you this far!"

Wang Sheng didn't show any pain on his face, and he said with a smile: "I share the worries of the king, it should be so. I'm sick but I got sick because I was on the way, and I expect to be fine tomorrow."

"Yeah, you're in a hurry." Liu Fu lost his grievances at this moment, so he took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, leaned over to hold Wang Sheng's hand, and said with great distress: "You're a sucker—cough, How can your body withstand such bumps, stay in Chang'an for a while this time, and go back when you recover from your illness."

But Wang Sheng said: "Is it a crime for the king not to punish his ministers and return to Beijing without authorization?"

Liu Fu blushed, "Jing Huan, don't make fun of me."

Wang Sheng held his hand back, but smiled and said nothing.

"Jing Huan, don't go back to Xiang's mansion tonight, follow me into the palace." Liu Fu touched his cold hand, covered his other hand, and said, "The people in your mansion don't know what you want Come back, it must not be cleaned, and I haven't seen you for so long, I can't let you go so easily."

Wang Sheng happened to have something to say to Liu Fu, so he agreed.

The two of them chatted about Luoyang again, and arrived in the palace not long after. Liu Fu gently helped Wang Sheng up, then half knelt down, and picked up Wang Sheng's shoes.Wang Sheng was shocked, and hurriedly grasped Liu Fu's wrist, "Your Majesty, how can... the minister do it by himself." Liu Fu looked at him strangely, "What's the matter? You are still sick, so don't move around." It is almost unprecedented for a monarch to personally carry shoes for his subjects, even if he is very favored, it is rare, but Liu Fu did it naturally, as if it was a very common thing.At this time, he was thinking vulgarly, Wang Sheng treated him like this, what should he reward Wang Sheng, he wanted to give him all the rare treasures, and moved the entire inner treasury into the prime minister's mansion— —It’s a pity that Wang Sheng never cared about these things.

He suddenly thought, what exactly does Wang Sheng like?

"Your Majesty..." Wang Sheng felt a heat in his ankle, and was immediately supported by a hand, and a shoe was put on his foot after a while.He looked at Liu Fu's full forehead and straight nose bridge in surprise, and looked at the two trembling fine shadows under his eyes. He felt that the blood in his body was divided into two halves, one half rushed to his head, and the other half rushed straight to The part of the ankle that was held.He endured it in a state of confusion, digging his fingers into the cracks in the wood beside the bed.

Ashamed and ashamed, Liu Fu lowered his head and silently helped him put on his shoes. He just raised his head when he saw Wang Sheng's condition and said in surprise, "Jing Huan, is it hurting again? When I return to the palace in a while, I'll call the imperial physician first." Take a look."

Wang Sheng couldn't explain, so he just nodded indiscriminately.

The carriage stopped, and Liu Fu supported Wang Sheng to stand up, leading him out of the car little by little, and it took him a long time to get out of the car.Seeing Wang Sheng bent over all the time, Liu Fu couldn't bear his hard work, and seeing that there was still a short distance to the outside of the hall, Liu Fu hesitated for a while, then simply gritted his teeth and hugged Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng was shocked, and subconsciously moved a bit, but felt that it was even more embarrassing to move at this time, so he could only let him hold him without moving.He lowered his voice, and his words trembled a little, "Your Majesty, let me down...how can this be...how..."

Liu Fu didn't dare to speak for a moment, he felt uneasy and unreasonably proud, he put one hand on Wang Sheng's armpit and the other on his knee, pretending that he didn't hear Wang Sheng's words, strode up the steps, walked through the corridor, Walking into the hall, entering the inner hall, and walking all the way to the bed, he bent down and slowly put Wang Sheng on it.

Wang Sheng couldn't calm down, he was ashamed and annoyed, the tension in his heart was no less than that of Liu Fu, afraid of being spotted by Liu Fu, he could only hold his face tightly.After Liu Fu put him down, he secretly glanced at Wang Sheng's face uneasily. Seeing that his face was sinking like water, he was obviously very angry, and his heart skipped a beat, and he didn't dare to utter a word.

Wang Sheng had a lot of prestige in his heart, and at this moment he kept silent, Liu Fu became uneasy, secretly regretting that he had acted frivolously and lost courtesy to the minister.After a while, Liu Fu said cautiously: "Jing Huan, I'm not insulting you, it's just... you know!"

Wang Sheng remained silent, his eyelids trembled, and his face became even more gloomy.

Liu Fu gritted his teeth and said, "Anyway, I can't bear to watch you walk so far while you're sick."

Seeing that Wang Sheng hadn't opened his mouth yet, Liu Fu had no choice but to say to himself: "Prince Wu is waiting outside the hall, let him take a look at your body first, this is a big deal."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Wang Sheng's response, he beckoned for Imperial Physician Wu to come in.

Wang Sheng lay motionless on the bed, his face was still bluffing, but he didn't speak out against it.Imperial Physician Wu took Wang Sheng's pulse, and with the other hand, he touched the goatee that was exactly the same as Imperial Physician Li. He turned his head and let out a "hiss" first, and then "tsk" after a while. Liu Fu looked at him like this Looking at the appearance, he asked, "Can you see what is coming?"

Physician Wu withdrew his hand and said to Liu Fu: "Back to the king, the prime minister's illness is the same as before, and the previous prescription is still used. Be careful not to be too tired or overthinking. It should be fine to cultivate for a while. It's just—— "

Liu Fu raised his heart that had let go, "Just what?"

Physician Wu shook his head in distress, "Prime Minister's pulse... seems to be a little... tachycardia, but it is a symptom that has never existed before, but the prime minister's heart and lungs should be fine, but I don't know why the pulse is so."

Liu Fu held Wang Sheng's hand, and said with concern: "Jing Huan, what's the matter, do you feel palpitations?"

Wang Sheng turned his head slightly, looked at the thin quilt on the side, and wanted to use it to cover his face, but he held back in the end. The hand that was not held was clenched into a fist by his side, and he was silent for a moment. Said: "I'm fine, the imperial physician should step down first." Turning to Liu Fu again, "Your Majesty, I will be fine tomorrow, Your Majesty, don't worry."

Liu Fu stared at him suspiciously, Wang Sheng couldn't help but slowly shifted his gaze away from his scrutinizing gaze.Suddenly, hearing Liu Fu's sudden realization of "Ah—", Wang Sheng's heart trembled, and he closed his eyes in embarrassment.

Then Liu Fu said angrily: "Jing Huan, are you still in severe pain—you lied to me again?"

Wang Sheng sighed silently, he couldn't tell if he should feel lucky or disappointed, he just felt exhausted, and his heart felt shivering.If he could get up now, he would have to dodge for a while no matter what, so as to give himself a chance to breathe, but now he could only open his eyes and look at Liu Fu and said: "I am really fine."

Liu Fu stared at him tightly and did not speak.

Wang Sheng was watched by him, but he couldn't stand him, so he had to truthfully say: "I still hurt, but it's much better... only a little pain, it's okay."

"really?"

"really."

"But your ears are turning red, do you have a fever again?"

"Chen... wears a little too much."

"That's good," Liu Fu nodded, no doubt about him, and said to Imperial Physician Wu: "You go back and grab the medicine first, and bring it here when it's cooked."

Physician Wu replied, "Yes."

When the medicine arrived, Wang Sheng finally settled down, lifted the bowl and drank the medicine juice. As soon as he put it down, a cup of clear water was handed over.Wang Sheng was stunned for a moment, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Fu waved his hand indifferently, and then the palace servants came forward to take away the things, while he sat down beside Wang Sheng, and suddenly said: "Jing Huan, it's been a long time since we fell asleep like this, what was the last time?" When? I remember it was before I entered Sichuan... Hey, whenever I’m in front of you, I can’t finish talking, and in fact, I can’t sleep for a long time every time.”

Wang Sheng calmed down at this moment, and then remembered the business, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do."

"Jing Huan, please tell me."

"The king is not a person who kills indiscriminately. He wants to implicate all the clans in this case. I think the king should not be just out of personal anger. Does the king intend to use this to weaken the big clan?"

Liu Fu turned to him abruptly, and said pleasantly, "Jing Huan really knows my heart!"

But Wang Sheng said: "The big family is powerful, and it is true that we should not let it go, but the king is too impatient."

"Hey!" Liu Fu sighed: "Looking at the reactions of the ministers, I am indeed too impatient. It's just that it is not the first time that my clan, ministers and these big clansmen have disputes over land. Enclosing land, occupying mountains and protecting lakes, hiding the population, and turning the taxes that should have been attributed to the imperial court into their own, they are obviously using the blood of the imperial court to support themselves. How can the country become rich if you don’t take them away? ?”

"Nowadays the world is uncertain, keeping these big clans is just to collect less taxes. But the king's attack has caused panic among the big clans, and I'm afraid it will become a confidant's trouble in the future."

"So my original intention was to wipe them all out, but I couldn't bear the bitter advice of the officials, so I let the tiger go back to the mountain. Hey, now that I think about it, I either didn't arrest people at the time. Since I have already been arrested, I should be ruthless to the end and not let anyone go. back."

"If this is the case, executing so many people at one time will definitely cause uneasiness to the people, and I am afraid it will be even more troublesome. Although the king's move is not the best policy, it is also a medium policy. If you want to attack the big clan, you should wait until the world is settled and use all your strength. deal with them."

Liu Fu thought for a moment, then sighed gloomily.

Hearing his sigh, Wang Sheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, aren't you going to sleep?"

"Sleep," Liu Fu got up and blew out the candle, "I won't bother you."

Once the candles were extinguished, the hall became dark, only some oil lamps were burning in the distance, and the flames were burning quietly, like pale yellow flowers blooming on the wicks.Liu Fu and Wang Sheng were lying side by side, and suddenly asked worriedly, "Jing Huan, does it still hurt?"

He thought that Wang Sheng was going to answer the ten-year unchanged "I have no problem", but he heard Wang Sheng say, "It hurts."

Liu Fu was startled, and turned to face him. Before he could speak, he heard Wang Sheng say again: "I have had abdominal pain since I was young, and it has been more than ten years. This is just an old disease. Although the pain is bearable, it has been painful. It's enough for a while, and it will heal itself after a long time, and I don't want to suffer from it."

Liu Fu seemed to have deep meaning in his words, and asked, "Then—"

Wang Sheng was silent for a moment, and after an unknown amount of time, Liu Fu saw two faint lights turning towards him, and it was Wang Sheng who also turned his head and looked at him.He sighed softly: "However, the king used Jie and Zhou as a metaphor for himself, that would really break the heart of the minister, and the pain is ten times that. Even now thinking about it, the minister still feels unspeakable pain."

Liu Fu thought of what he had said to Wang Sheng in the car, and how Wang Sheng was so angry that he couldn't speak, and he felt very regretful.He turned over, lay back on his back, and said seriously: "I made a slip of the tongue today. Jing Huan, I won't do this again."

After that, he groped for Wang Sheng's hand in the dark, and scratched his palm flatteringly.After a while, as expected, Wang Sheng said: "Your Majesty, go to sleep, I'm already well."

Liu Fu had a trick, knowing that Wang Sheng couldn't see, he quietly grinned.Every time he held Wang Sheng's hand, Wang Sheng's fingers would stick tightly to his hand, and he would hold himself back like he was holding him.Wang Sheng's hands were very cold, but there was a special kind of heat in his palms. Liu Fu closed his eyes, and felt the touch on his hands gradually become clearer. Even this heat was slowly burning towards him. For some reason, he There was a sudden throbbing in my heart.

He hurriedly let go of Wang Sheng's hand, but he couldn't get rid of the strange feeling in his heart.

------

"He suddenly thought, what exactly does Wang Sheng like?"

What the prime minister likes, my lord, haven't you figured it out yet? Tsk tsk tsk tsk!

Liu Fu: Showing the blank eyes of a straight man...

Oh no, starting tonight, he is no longer a pure straight man, sigh
