Chapter 433 Visit by the Prince Regent

"Yes."

Liu Zishao agreed sullenly, but his heart was still restless like a spring, and the sweat on his forehead was gathering more and more.

"Grandpa," Liu Zishao couldn't help but speak after playing a few chess pieces patiently, "Then what should we do next? This Xue Lince and his party are really difficult to deal with, and it is uncertain when he will find a loophole again. Follow him."

With a "click", Liu Xiang fell down steadily, his expression was still calm, and there was no slight fluctuation in his weather-stained face.

"What are you panicking?" Liu Xiang said indifferently, his eyes fell on the chessboard, "This game of government and politics is about a back and forth. If you lose this game, try to get it back in the next game. If you only care Winning in front of the eyes, sooner or later someone will be stabbed in the back."

Liu Zishao clutched the hem of his clothes uneasily, and didn't understand at all, "But the current situation is unfavorable for us, wouldn't it mean that if we make a mistake, we will lose everything?"

"You still don't understand." Liu Xiang twisted his gray eyebrows, "To gain a firm foothold in government affairs, you must first have a long-term perspective. If you are so self-confident, others will easily knock you down."

Liu Zishao wanted to say a few more words, but found that Liu Xiang's face was much more serious, so he could only rest his thoughts, lowered his head and said, "Yes, grandson is taught."

"it's your turn."

Liu Xiang's voice was steady, and he even had time to remind him to make a move.

The two stayed together for a while, and when Liu Zishao was killed, a servant hurried in again, "Old master, young master, the regent is here."

Liu Zishao panicked when he heard the regent's arrival. With a shake of his hand, the chess piece held by his fingertips fell on the chessboard with a "click", shaking the surrounding chess pieces out of their original positions.

"What is he here for?" He immediately became anxious, "I haven't made an appointment with him recently."

Liu Xiang's temples twitched, and he reached out and slapped Liu Zishao's hand, "What did I just say?"

Liu Zishao was caught off guard for a slap, subconsciously withdrew his hand, and quickly admitted his mistake, "Don't mess yourself up."

"Remembering is nothing." Liu Xiang stood up slowly, putting his hands behind his back, "If you want to do it, come and take me to the regent."

The little servant agreed in a low voice, Liu Zishao felt uneasy, but he had no choice but to follow his grandfather to the hall.

The regent sat in the hall for a while, and his servants made hot tea for him. He didn't move at all, his eyes stained with vicissitudes were sharp and sharp, like a falcon, and when he saw the two of the Liu family coming in, his eyebrows twitched subconsciously, and he stood up. get up.

"My lord," Liu Xiang saluted slightly, keenly seeing the untouched tea, "Is this tea not to your lord's liking? I'll send someone to change it."

"No need," the regent raised his hand and refused, unceremoniously, "The people in the frontier are suffering, and this king is really uncomfortable. The fragrant tea in the prime minister's mansion is no good for this king to enjoy."

These words were all saying that the prime minister's mansion lived in luxury and disregarded the sufferings of the people. Liu Zishao understood the implication, and suddenly his brows tightened, and the fingers hanging on both sides of his body were also tightened, a little resentful, but Liu Xiang still had an expression on his face. Harmonious, courteous attitude.

"What the lord said is," he cupped his hands, "this tea is new, but I have never drunk it. It is always used to entertain distinguished guests. If you don't like it, you can only nourish the flowers and plants in the courtyard."

Having been in the officialdom for many years, Liu Xiang used a "rebound" skillfully. The two seemed to argue about the topic of tea, but they took turns to buckle the hat of extravagance.

The regent couldn't gain the upper hand, so he turned his gaze and saw Liu Zishao beside Xiang Liu.

"This is your grandson?"

He raised his eyebrows coldly and asked, and then said without waiting for Liu Xiang and the two of them to express: "Today, the king has come here as the prime minister, and the time to discuss it is a government secret. Please ask the prime minister to let the young master step down."

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, and after exchanging glances, Liu Zishao gritted his teeth and backed away, but he didn't go far, as soon as he went out, he put his ear on the door to eavesdrop.

In the room, the regent took his seat again, and Liu Xiang sat down. The atmosphere seemed calm and peaceful, but in reality it was already raging and tense.

"Prime Minister, there are often some rumors in the city today, I wonder if you have heard of them."

The regent's mouth was very polite, but his two eyebrows were frowning to kiss each other, and his eyes seemed to have a cold sharpness, wishing to see through Liu Xiang.

The latter still had a smile on his face and a gentle face, "What does the prince mean? I don't understand."

"Don't understand?" The regent immediately became angry, and the seemingly harmonious relationship between the two was torn apart, "Don't think that this king doesn't know what you're thinking, I warn you, the government is not named Liu, let alone you In the world of the Liu family, if this king finds out that you have stretched your hands and feet, meddled in things you shouldn't have meddled in, caused disturbances and provoked criticism, don't blame me for being rude."

Seeing this situation, Liu Xiang could no longer pretend to be crazy, so he quickly gave in, "My lord taught me the lesson, but you are too serious. My Liu family is naturally looking forward to the emperor's horse. Your words almost put the hat of rebellious intention on the old minister's head." , the prince is aware of the details, and he will not believe other people's rumors."

The regent's temple twitched, "You mean this king wronged you?"

Liu Xiang was still unmoved, and still had the same obedient and humble appearance, "I don't dare, I just do my best for the emperor, and I will definitely keep the words of the prince in my heart."

"As long as you remember," the regent stood up, "If this king finds out about it again, be careful not to lose the black hat on your head."

After finishing his harsh words, he turned his head and left. Liu Zishao, who was eavesdropping outside, was frightened and hid behind the pillar in a hurry.

Seeing the regent's figure disappear behind the gate, he dared to tiptoe out and sneaked into the room with his head down.

Only Liu Xiang was left sitting at the table in the room. Liu Zishao didn't notice that he was in a strange mood at all, so he leaned forward and called out, "Grandpa."

This cry seemed to pull Liu Xiang back from his dream. Suddenly, his eyes widened, his wrinkled face twitched, and he shouted, "Bastard!"

With a flick of his sleeve, he swept away the teacup on which he was sitting, and the cups and saucers fell to the ground one after another, making a crackling sound, the tea juice splashed, and the broken porcelain was all over the floor.

Liu Zishao was so frightened that his body trembled violently, his legs went limp, and he knelt down on the ground with a "plop" and kowtowed three times, "Grandpa, calm down!"

"Calm your anger? How to calm your anger?"

Liu Xiang was still furious, "This ungrateful Zong Shiliang, thinking that I cleaned up so many messes for him back then, and now that he has nothing to worry about, he dared to threaten me face to face, it is unreasonable! You bastard! Back then I should have directly Send him on his way! Save yourself a lot of trouble!"
