A scumbag is not a scumbag

Chapter 9 The Beauty's Scheming Liu Shaokang

I have already made up my mind to distance myself from Liu Shen'er, she is also a concubine in the palace, so she can't see me easily, slowly, the feelings between us faded with the long-term isolation and respect.However, I didn't make it obvious, at least for now, I don't want to tear my skin off with her, and a clean break will not be good for both of us.

Liu Heng has been busy for a while as emperor, and now he is finally free, and the courtiers also put forward the request of "establishing a prince".They believe that both Liu Wu and Liu Qi are qualified to be crown princes. Liu Wu, who was born by Shen'er, is older, and I, an elder brother with a bright future, stand tall in the court. Undoubtedly, he has a better chance of winning than Liu Qi, who is younger and has a lower birth mother status. , and Liu Qi is also included in the selection range, but because he is intelligent and gentle, he is quite favored by Liu Heng.

I straightened my back and drooped my eyes, staring at the carved and flat ground without saying a word. Liu Heng ignored the matter perfunctorily, and was forced into a hurry several times in a row. Seriously ask back: "Does Aiqing hope that I will drive the crane west earlier?" Scared the person who played.But he has just ascended the throne, and he has not yet fully grasped all the power, and some high-ranking officials still refuse to give face—for example, Zhou Bo, the prime minister who relied on his own meritorious service, repeatedly pressed Prince Liu Heng about matters.

Liu Heng suppressed anger in his eyes, he glanced at me coldly, then flung his hands back.

Quietly being a wallflower, I wondered, why are you staring at me?

I wondered, maybe Liu Heng thought that I had some private dealings with Zhou Bo, that's why he asked Liu Wu to be the crown prince?

It is indeed understandable to think so... But I know in my heart that I will not deliberately offend the emperor just for Liu Wu to become the crown prince.How many princes in history rolled down before ascending to the throne?I don't think Liu Wu will become the emperor if he becomes the prince.And Liu Heng is not a soft persimmon, he has backed down now, maybe he has a small notebook in his heart to remember those people who make him unhappy.

... I won't be on the blacklist too.

I can't help but think back to Liu Heng's expression just now, I sighed bitterly, I was indeed charged... It's really unlucky to be accompanied by a king like a tiger.Sure enough, if you are not afraid of opponents like gods, are you afraid of teammates like pigs?What does Zhou Bo mean this time? Could it be that he wants to use me as a rafter?But why did he target the emperor's confidants when he first arrived?Now is the time to show your loyalty!Could it be that the self-proclaimed credit is really shaking?

I was also thinking about it at home, a little absent-minded.

Hanyu called me several times, I suddenly came back to my senses, and smiled at her embarrassedly: "What's the matter, I didn't hear you clearly just now, why don't you say it again?"

Zhou Hanyu slightly frowned, "Husband, what's on your mind...?"

I just wanted to be perfunctory "nothing", but when I saw her worried eyes, I couldn't say the perfunctory words.I sighed and said to her, "Hanju, maybe I will quit the court soon."

"Is this your husband's decision? Or is it a last resort?" Hanyu was startled at first, and then immediately calmed down, "Don't worry, husband, no matter what, I will follow you. Yi'er is too."

I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable.

Yi'er... my well-behaved daughter, who is only two years old now, has just started to walk, and calls me Daddy vaguely...

"Actually, I'm also hesitating." Hesitatingly spit out a word, and I stopped talking.

Yes, after I assisted the acting king to ascend the throne, I gradually came up with the current idea - I want to "resign".

Witnessing the direction of history really excites me; commanding soldiers and horses and becoming a pillar of the imperial court really fills me with a sense of mission; but I am more... "tired", deeply tired.

This is not caused by physical fatigue, but a very simple psychological factor.

—I used to be a modern man.

In the 21st century, everyone is equal.I don't have to kneel and kowtow to people every day, and I don't have to look at other people's faces and act cautiously; I don't have to block my family's life to go to work, and I don't have to become a corpse on the battlefield at any time.

It's a...wonderful world.

Much better than now.

Maybe one day I will adapt, but to be honest, I really don't want to force it.

My mission has been accomplished, I have my own wife and daughter, my parents are healthy, and my life is rich without having to deal with too much.Even if I quit my job now, I will at most lose my house to the fertile land. I can still use my own money to buy enough land to live comfortably for the rest of my life.Anyway, my mission has been completed, and the system judges that the stars will not be deducted in the second half of my life when I don't want to make progress.

That "God" wouldn't make irresponsible remarks about my behavior——

He is a true god, an omniscient and unparalleled existence, so great that you can't see the top when you look up.I can be sure that He is definitely not the kind of garbage god who plays with human beings wantonly and laughs wildly while watching ants struggle desperately. His magnificence, broadness, vastness and capacity are exactly the collection of all my fantasies about God in my heart.

...However, I can't relax just because of God's tolerance.

Closing my eyes, I finally gave up the thought in my heart.

Yes, I was given by God to survive, and I should work harder for His mission.I can't squander the tenderness of a great god like a piece of rubbish, if so, what am I?An ungrateful beast?Can't even bear a little grievance now?Since when did I call that so squeamish?After this life, I still have a lot of life to go!It's too ugly to back off now.

Thinking of this, I smiled slightly.

"Ah, I was just joking with you just now, don't take it seriously."

I said to the worried Zhou Hanju: "No matter what, I have to save enough for Yier's dowry first."

"Husband, where did you think so far?" Hanyu said angrily, with a smile on his face.No matter how much I say "never leave, never give up", but people still yearn for stability, "It's too early for Yi'er to get married..."

I echoed a few words, took her hand, and the family went to have a happy meal.

Liu Heng's headache about the crown prince is no longer a headache, because something happened to the big man that made him even more troubled—Jinbei King Liu Xinju launched a rebellion.

As soon as we got the news, General Zhou Yafu and I received Liu Heng's secret order to go to the palace to plan.

There were several counselors with us. In the middle of the night, in the Xuanzheng Hall, Liu Heng's face was gloomy. The gentle and elegant smile in the past had long since disappeared, and his expression was very pervasive under the candlelight.His eyes were piercingly cold, he held the teacup without saying a word, knocked the cup coldly for a while, and cursed in a low voice: "Rebellious officials and thieves! I don't know what is good or bad! Damn it, you should be killed!"

We held our breath and waited quietly for him to vent.

There is also a reason for Liu Heng to be so angry—Liu Shaoju is Liu Heng's close nephew, and his fiefdom and title were bestowed by Liu Heng himself.At the beginning, the skinny young man who was lying under the dragon chair, weeping and being grateful to Liu Heng, now raised the banner of treason.

I also don't understand why people in the royal family are so idle. The King of Jibei didn't know that he was staying in the fief to be his happy prince, and came here to learn from his predecessors' rebellion.He thought he was Liu Xiang, the king of Qi who entered the palace and wiped out Zhu Lu?Even King Qi, who was subdued by Liu Heng later, how did he think he could steal a piece of meat from Liu Heng in private?Who gave him the courage?Really overwhelmed!

But while mocking in my heart, I also realized that this was an opportunity.

Small fights are enough, I want to go to the battlefield and really kill something - to prove myself; I am not afraid of death, death is just another new life; now I just want to go to the army and sharpen myself carefully knife.

I immediately asked Liu Heng who had calmed down.

He gave me a complicated look and agreed.Maybe he also has the intention to drive me away?I didn't care about it, and I didn't think too much about it. I just thanked Liu Heng and geared up to prepare.
