Zhang Qiang is a veteran and famous.

And fame is the greatest talisman, so these people dare to underestimate the prince.

A Liang embarrassed Zhang Qiang in public, and Zhang Qiang immediately resigned. This was a common routine. Normally, A Liang would then comfort Zhang Qiang, and if Zhang Qiang lowered his head, the atmosphere would naturally relax.

After returning to the East Palace, Zhang Qiang complained that the prince did not respect his old ministers.

During the Chen Dynasty, Prince Sheren's duties and powers were not important. In the Tang Dynasty, Prince Sheren's status was immediately raised. Prince Sheren has the responsibility of admonishing the prince, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a gentleman. If the prince does not respect him, he is disrespectful.

Teachers value teaching.

"Aren't Zhang Gong's words too fierce?" The prince's rank in the horse-washing Tanhui was much higher than that of Zhang Qiang, but he was a good-natured person. He said with a smile: "This makes the prince a little embarrassed!"

"If this were not the case, how could the prince change his ways?" Zhang Qiang was still angry, "When your majesty comes back and sees such an unruly prince, he will definitely blame us."

"But after all, we are ministers!" Tan Hui said meaningfully: "I think, Mr. Zhang, why don't you take the initiative to see the prince first? Then, after a few words, you can naturally talk about it."

"If so, the prince will be more serious next time!" Zhang Qiang just refused.

"Hey! Why are you doing this!" Tan Hui shook his head, "Your Majesty is fighting in Shu. I wonder what will happen if he knows about this!"

"What can I do?" Zhang Qiang said stubbornly: "I have done my duty to teach the prince, but the prince is stubborn and domineering. How can I still sit back and watch? If the prince refuses to be taught, I will resign!"

Tan Hui smiled bitterly. Then he saw the servant beside the prince coming and asked, "But the prince is calling?"

This is probably because the prince sent someone to comfort Zhang Qiang!

Tan Hui gave Zhang Qiang a wink and signaled him to quickly go down the steps.

Zhang Qiang sat coldly.

The chamberlain came in and said:

"Your Highness heard that Zhang Sheren wants to resign?"

"Exactly!" Zhang Qiang said coldly.

The so-called dignity of a teacher means that even the emperor has to give his husband three respects, let alone the prince.

The chamberlain said: "The prince said, that's fine!"

Zhang Qiang: "..."

Tan Hui was stunned, "Did the prince say this?"

"Exactly, I don't dare to lie," the chamberlain said.

How could the always gentle and gentle prince have such strong points?

Zhang Qiang couldn't believe it.

Tan Hui felt that the servant did not dare to lie, so the prince was angry.

The prince was so angry that he said: That's fine!

This is an elegant way of saying it.

Translated: Get out of here!

These words were like a slap on Zhang Qiang's face.

Zhang Qiang was resigned at the moment. If he left, in the eyes of the emperor, he was giving up his position. Moreover, he resigned in the absence of the emperor. This was not only giving up his position, but also meant forcing the prince.

But if he doesn’t leave, Zhang Qiang’s words earlier will be known to the entire East Palace. If he doesn’t leave, where will he put his face?

Thinking that Zhang Qiang was quite harsh to the prince, Tan Hui gave him a sympathetic look, thinking that although the prince looked gentle, he should have known that the emperor's methods towards his ministers were just superficial. He should be tough.

At this time, the prince showed his skills as an emperor.

How tough is the emperor?

Despite the powerful threats from the Guanzhong clan, he still chose an iron fist.

The prince who was taught by the emperor would not be weak.

…

The matter in the East Palace soon reached the Queen.

"Queen, do you want to take care of me?"

Auntie Guan asked.

The queen sighed, "I only care about A Liang's daily life. Even if he is bullied, as long as it does not harm his body, I can only sit back and watch."

Once a woman in the palace gets involved in such matters, the situation becomes complicated.

Moreover, A Liang will also get a bad reputation... The prince and his ministers were arguing, but it was the queen who took action to save the situation.

You are worse than a woman!

Aunt Guan sighed in her heart, and when she went out, she happened to meet Yi Niang.

Yi Niang stood behind the railing, with her hands in her sleeves and her waist straight, looking at a group of palace maids.

"Does Yi Niang know what just happened to the prince?" Aunt Guan asked.

Yi Niang nodded, and Guan Auntie said: "The Tutor has gone too far to deceive others, but the Queen refuses to interfere."

"The harem intervenes...unless His Majesty dies."

How can I accept what you said? The lady in charge was stunned for a moment, "Then just watch?"

"Yes, look!"

"What if His Highness suffers a loss?"

"Have you ever seen a tiger teach its cubs how to hunt?"

"Never seen it before."

"The tiger will kill its prey by itself and let the cubs watch. After a few times, it will let the cubs hunt."

"But Your Highness..."

"Do you think His Majesty brought the prince with him to teach him just those articles? That was the tiger teaching the cubs how to hunt!"

…

Yi Niang turned around, watched Aunt Guan enter the palace, and told the female officer beside her, "Keep an eye on the East Palace. Also, go and tell Liu Qing personally, so as not to disturb His Highness's interest in eating!"

"yes!"

…

The emperor led an army to attack the false emperor, and the leader of the officials in Chang'an was Liu Qing.

After accompanying the prince to court meetings every day, there were countless things waiting for Liu Qing.

Zhang Qiang's complaints and threats also reached Liu Qing, and he invited Luo Cai to discuss it.

"It's said that the prince scolded Zhang Qiang. I'm an old minister! He's a famous person. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he threatened to resign." Liu Qing said.

Luo Cai took some time out of his busy schedule and slowly drank a few sips of tea. "No matter what, he shouldn't give up at this time. At least we can wait until His Majesty comes back. What is this guy so anxious about?"

"I don't know. But this matter is not easy to deal with." Liu Qing sniffed the tea. This was the tribute tea given by the emperor. A few slices are enough. The fragrance is pleasant. "If Zhang Qiang is suppressed, he may rebound.

If we let him... we don't have the power to allow him to resign, right?"

"Not even the prince."

The two smiled bitterly at each other.

"But it's the prince's first time to supervise the country. It's not good to cause a fuss. What do you want me to do, why don't you come and appease Zhang Qiang, and I'll go and see the prince to talk about it... At any rate, peace is the most precious thing!" Liu Qing said.

"That's fine!"

Luo Cai stood up and prepared to persuade Zhang Qiang.

"Prime Minister Liu, there is someone in the palace who wants to see you."

A minor official came to report.

"This is probably the queen's person," Luo Cai said.

A female official came in. When she saw that Liu Qing and Luo Cai were the only ones in the room, she said, "Your Majesty, Yi Niang, is here to send a message. Please don't disturb the prince's interest in eating!"

After saying this, the female officer took her leave.

The two people in the check-in room were stunned.

"Interest in eating!" Liu Qing covered his forehead, "Are Zhang Qiang and others the prey His Majesty left for the Crown Prince?"

Luo Cai smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, during the Southern Expedition, your Majesty took the prince with you and taught him the way of conquest. But the prince was young after all and could not lead an army on an expedition. Later, when he entered Chang'an, your majesty took the prince with him and taught him personally.

How to deal with political affairs. But teaching is teaching, and no matter how good a teacher is, he can only teach students who can speak well. If you want to learn from it, you must practice it."

"What you read on paper is only shallow in the end, but you know that this matter must be carried out. This is your Majesty's poem." Liu Qing said: "Zhang Qiang is very knowledgeable and famous, but he does not necessarily have to be the choice for the prince to sacrifice his life.

I still thought it was strange at the time, but now I think about it, when His Majesty chose Zhang Qiang, he regarded him as the Prince's whetstone."

The two smiled at each other.

Someone came to report, "Prime Minister Liu, please see Zhang Sheren."
