Looking at Liu Chang who was both timid and brave in front of him, Cao Shen was really speechless and sat down again.

"What exactly do you want to say?"

"Prime Minister Cao is my father's most trusted minister. Before he died, I married Prime Minister Cao's daughter for Your Majesty, just so that Prime Minister Cao could support Your Majesty."

"It's just that the palace is not very peaceful now."

Cao Shen said solemnly with a straight face: "The palace affairs have nothing to do with me."

"It has nothing to do with you. You are the founding hero of the country and have prestige among the officials. Except for that donkey Tingwei, no one dares to do anything to you... But you are getting older now. When you were young, you fought everywhere.

, full of scars, I am afraid that when you leave one day, your clan will also leave with you."

Cao Shen sneered, "Did the King of Tang come here specifically to intimidate me?"

"It's definitely not a threat...Excuse me, Prime Minister Cao, how does Empress Cao's strategies and methods compare to the Queen Mother?"

"Far worse."

"Then how does your son compare to me?"

Cao Shen replied seriously: "It's not as good as that."

"Is there anyone in your clan who can be an enemy of Zhu Liu?"

"No."

Liu Chang put on a serious face and asked seriously: "Then why don't you control your clan's children?!"

"Your Majesty is kind and weak, so he needs the Queen's support... But if the Queen's relatives are too strong, with the Queen Mother inside and kings outside, isn't Prime Minister Cao afraid that the clan will be punished?!"

"Your son, he is a hard-working man. His Majesty wanted to make him a doctor, but he wrote several letters to refuse. However, the rest of your sons and nephews took the name of the queen and took up official positions one after another, looking down on others and treating others with contempt.

Mr. Lu was even more contemptuous, and even went so far as to argue with my brother Lu Chan and almost get into a fight... This simply means that he doesn't take me, Mr. Liu, seriously!"

"You are still here, and I can still bear it. If one day you go to follow my father, your clan will be in danger!"

"I can burn Chengcheng's mansion and beat the people of the Lu family because I am their closest relative. I can do this, but it does not mean that others can also bully them... I swear in the name of my mother, if

If something like this happens again, I will cook them one by one and share their meat with Prime Minister Cao!"

Liu Chang no longer had any fear at this moment, his eyes were wide open and his face was full of anger.

"If the brothers are separated and the world is in chaos because of this, then the culprit is Prime Minister Cao!!!"

Looking at the grinning milk tiger in front of him, there was no trace of fear or uneasiness on Cao Shen's face. He was the number one soldier in the battle from the mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. He was the kind of old man who had put away his minions after fighting for many years.

A ferocious tiger, a young tiger whose claws don't even have sharp claws, can't scare him.

"The Queen does not have enough prestige in the palace...she cannot intimidate the concubines."

"And she only has one brother and no other relatives. Now is not the time to take action against the Cao clan."

"When the queen has secured her position, the harem is at peace, and there is no need to rely on the influence of relatives, I will eliminate the scum in the clan without you having to do anything."

Cao Shen stood up slowly, not tall, but with a deep sense of oppression. He lowered his head and stared at Liu Chang, "You are still young...you have to remember...you Liu Chang

The surname is not Lu."

Liu Chang stood up, raised his head unyieldingly, and stared into his eyes.

"No need for Prime Minister Cao to remind me, I know what to do myself!"

The two tigers faced off for a moment, but Mu Hu decided to give in. Cao Shen shook his head gently, "I will discipline everyone in the clan well... However, you have to remember that in this world, we are the ones who followed Emperor Gao and shot him out with one sword after another.

... I will never allow anyone to cause trouble to the big man... No matter who dares to harm the big man, I will kill him first.

"Don't worry, Duke Cao. This world was left by my father... No matter it's the Huns, relatives, or ministers, whoever dares to have disloyal intentions... I'll cook it first!"

Liu Chang left, raised his head, and left proudly like a victorious general.

Cao Shen sat in front of the case, eating his meal with his head lowered. His wife sat next to him, looking at him in surprise.

"What's the happy news?"

"Nothing happy."

"Although you didn't say it, you have been restless these days, and you can't eat much. You worry all day long, and you don't know what you are worried about. Why do you have such a good appetite today? Is it something that is bothering you?

Has it been resolved?"

"It's not that you don't worry, there are people who worry about you."

...

"Quick, quick!"

Liu Chang secretly looked around and shouted: "Jump down! Throw down the chicken first!"

Zhou Shengzhi dropped the chicken, and Guan A hurriedly picked up the chicken, turned around and ran away. When the two Zhou brothers jumped off the city wall, Liu Chang took them and fled the crime scene in a hurry. Zhou Shengzhi gasped, "Your Majesty, Father

I’ll be at home all day... I’ll just eat sheep from now on..."

"I'm tired of eating. It doesn't matter. Isn't it going well for you?"

"What a success, we both ran out, Jian was caught by my father...Didn't the king hear the miserable howl just now?"

"Oh, I thought it was your father who was killing the pig."

The sages fled to the Tang Palace. When Liu Chang handed the chicken to Luan Bu with a smile and asked him to help cook it, Luan Bu was silent for a long time and said, "Your Majesty... we also have chickens in our own house.

Why do you want to steal something from the Taiwei's mansion?"

"There are so many of us. If we eat our own chicken, we will finish it in a day or two."

The last time Luan Bu heard such a righteous argument from the king was the last time.

He reluctantly took the chicken and turned around to cook it.

The wise men gathered around Liu Chang, and Liu Chang suddenly let out a long sigh.

Zhou Shengzhi and Lu Lu's eyes lit up, and they asked in unison: "Your Majesty, why are you worried?"

After the two admiring people bumped into each other, they looked at each other angrily, with unkind expressions on their faces.

"Every time I return to the palace, His Majesty's concubines will send people to give gifts. They all know that Your Majesty loves me, so they want to please me... At first, I was very happy, but now, they have to bring gifts from time to time.

The palace maid came to the Hall of Houde, crying and complaining about her grievances, and wanted me to tell my mother so that she could administer justice...I was troubled so much!"

"Now I don't even dare to go to see His Majesty, nor do I dare to see Yuzi. It's too annoying to go anywhere!"

"Why doesn't your Majesty ask for advice from the wise men?!"

The two asked in unison again. Zhou Shengzhi became even more angry. He gritted his teeth and said silently in his heart, "When the king comes back later, you will see how I deal with you."

Liu Chang ignored the two men and looked at everyone. Just as he was about to ask for advice, Mr. Fan said loudly: "Your Majesty, please prepare a sharp knife. If anyone comes to cry, give her a knife. I will ensure that no one will dare to cry again!"

Liu Chang didn't care about this bastard, and looked directly at Chen Mai, the only reliable person among the virtuous people.

"Your Majesty, you are a foreign king. You must not get involved in this kind of thing. Otherwise, it will not be good for your reputation... They are also the king's sisters-in-law. Your Majesty cannot be rude... I think this matter can be done by your Majesty.

Go to the Queen Mother... If the Queen Mother comes forward, no one will dare to bother the King again."

Liu Chang glanced at him, shook his head, and said: "You don't know... My mother is with me now... If I didn't want to alarm my mother, these people would have... Oh, forget it, are you there?"

How to prevent the Queen Mother from getting involved?"

The relationship between the Queen Mother and Your Majesty has become increasingly tense. Liu Ying no longer comes to Jiaofang Palace, and the Queen Mother does not go to Ganquan Palace at all. Liu Chang knows that at this time, he must not intensify the conflict between his mother and his brother. If Ah

Because of this, my mother took action again, and the conflict between the two parties completely broke out.

Chen Mai lowered his head and began to think.

"Your Majesty, don't you have taller valets in the palace? You can't be rude to your eldest sister-in-law, but your valets can help you block her?"

Zhou Yafu said, Liu Chang nodded. Now he could only choose this method of hiding his ears and pretending that he didn't know. He glanced at Zhou Yafu and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that your ideas are getting more and more reliable."

It's done... Not bad, you may be able to serve as the Prime Minister of our Tang Kingdom in the future!"

Zhou Yafu was very excited and said loudly: "That's natural!"

While the sages were chatting, Ji Bu hurriedly walked in, looked at Liu Chang, and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty invites you to go to the Xuanshi Hall."

Liu Chang stood up and asked in surprise: "What happened?"

Ji Bu shook his head, "I heard it's something happening in the south, but I don't know..."

Liu Chang did not dare to delay, and hurriedly said goodbye to all the wise men. He had no time to eat the chicken, so he hurried to the palace.

After walking most of the way, Ji Bu suddenly said: "Your Majesty, if your Majesty issues an edict, please don't agree rashly. You can ask the Queen Mother first before making a decision."

Zhaoping was stunned for a moment, then cursed: "Ji Bu! What do you mean?! Are you openly instigating the king to disobey the imperial edict?"

Ji Bu shook his head and explained: "I have no other intention. I am just worried that Your Majesty is young and may not be as prudent in handling state affairs as the Queen Mother..."

Zhang Buyu's eyes widened and he stared at Ji Bu, "Don't you have your own lines?"

...........

"The king of Jing died."

"What?!"

Liu Chang was startled. His eyes widened and he asked again: "Is King Jing dead?"
