Chapter 136 Reporting Work
The first thing Liu Zhao did when he returned to the palace was not to go to sleep.
Instead, he immediately rushed to Hanzhang Palace. The court affairs were complicated and Liu Yan had to work until late at night.
Now that I'm back, of course I have to report my work first.
This is the best gesture of loyalty.
"Attendant, the Emperor hasn't rested yet!"
As long as Liu Yan is in Hanzhang Palace, Zhang Hong has nothing else to do.
Then he must be the one who stays with you until the end.
"Your Highness, why are you here so late?"
Zhang Hong was a little surprised.
"I'm here to report to my father what has happened in the past few days!"
"Yes, Your Highness, please wait a moment while I report to the Emperor!"
Zhang Hong naturally did not dare to neglect it and immediately said at the door: "Your Majesty, the prince is here!"
"Oh, let him in!"
Liu Yan happened to see the report sent by Du Zheng that Liu Zhao had gone to Hongnong County.
I was still thinking that why he didn't come back to check on me when such a close place came, Liu Zhao came!
I feel very happy.
"My son, please pay homage to your father!"
Liu Zhao trotted in and kowtowed smoothly.
Liu Zhao walked down, pulled him up, and said first: "My son has really grown up!"
You can see how happy Liu Yan is.
"Yes, my son has grown up! But, Father, please don't work too hard. It's so late!"
Liu Zhao was indeed moved by Liu Yan's down-to-earth words and spoke emotionally.
"Alright! You know, if you can help your father with his worries, even his suffering will be worth it!"
Liu Yan pulled Liu Zhao to sit with him.
"I know everything about disaster relief. Your idea is great!"
Of course, Du Zheng would report everything to Liu Yan in detail without hiding anything.
Similar to the trace records of later generations.
"Yes, Father!"
"Yang Ke is secretly investigating these matters and may have results in two or three days!"
Liu Yan first talked about his own approach.
"Father, I dare to ask, could these things be related to your uncle?"
"Nine out of ten!" Liu Yan did not hide it. "Take a look at Du Yu's report!"
As Liu Yan spoke, he handed the secret letter written by Du Yu to Liu Zhao.
"Are you testing me?"
Liu Che immediately opened the letter and took a look.
The above are the three aspects written by Du Zheng: First, he came to Hongnong County and arranged someone to escort him.
Second, things are developing as expected.
Third, according to the suggestion of Xu Zhi, the Inspector of the Imperial Capital, Xu Zhi has already sent people out of Yangcheng County to suppress the bandits, and there will be results soon.
You know the first one yourself, but what is the second one about?
Disaster relief?
Food robbery?
What about third?
Xu Zhi led troops to suppress bandits?
Is this the authority of the Inspector of the Imperial Guards?
I was a little confused for a moment.
"Father, this, I don't understand!"
"It doesn't matter. Father clearly tells you that the one who disrupted the disaster relief plan this time is definitely your uncle!"
"What good will it do him to disrupt the disaster relief program? Does that mean he can become emperor?"
Liu Zhao said angrily.
"Son! You still don't understand. When the world is peaceful, others can't take advantage of the situation. But when the world is in chaos, others can take advantage of the situation and move in!"
Liu Yan was certainly aware of King Song's purpose.
"Didn't he go to Ningnan?"
"These things! He has been preparing for more than a day or two! He went to Ningnan himself, but his people didn't go!"
"Father, do you mean there are many people who are your uncle's people in the court?"
"Of course!" Liu Yan nodded. "That's why! Forbidding the food from leaving the city, and stealing food along the way are just deceptions. The real goal is to cause chaos in the world!"
"Father, what should we do now? Arrest him?"
Liu Zhao knew a simple truth: if he wanted someone to trust him, even if it was his father, he just had to ask more questions.
Even if you understand, you have to pretend not to understand!
Being a know-it-all is a common problem for most people!
Indeed, it is a very satisfying thing to explain things to others.
"I'm afraid we can't catch him for now!" Liu Yan nodded slightly, "You have to know that he's not just one person coveting the throne, but a group of people!"
"Yes, I understand! Father, should we dig out his followers first and then take action?"
"That's right!" Liu Zhao was very pleased. "After all, your uncle has the support of the King of Zhenbei's 200,000-man army. If we're not prepared and 200,000 troops march south, the world will be in jeopardy!"
"Father, are you ready to deal with their army now?"
Liu Zhao himself had no idea about this matter.
"My father sent Prince Xinyang and his men north for this very matter. As long as the people remain calm, they won't dare to rebel. Besides, I told you before that I don't want to take action against him unless it's absolutely necessary!"
"Yes, Father!"
Of course Liu Zhao remembered what Liu Yan had said before, and what his grandmother had said before she passed away, that the King of Song could be beaten or punished but not killed.
This is also the reason why Liu Yan found it difficult to take action.
Even the key reason.
"Furthermore, judging from Du Zheng's report, it can be concluded that Xu Zhi and Yangcheng County Magistrate Jia Zhong have betrayed the court!"
"Father, are you leading troops to suppress bandits? Are you leading troops to rebel?"
"They're sending troops out to suppress the bandits, just hoping to take advantage of our situation. However, we've already made preparations. If they take action, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Yes, Father! What about the Hejian King and the others? Did they participate?"
Liu Zhao was quite impressed by the Prince of Hejian.
"If it is really your uncle who wants to rebel, then the Prince of Zhenbei, the Prince of Hejian, the Prince of Shanyin and others will definitely be involved!"
"Father, I dare to ask again, where is the Duke of Qi?"
Liu Heng was Sima Bei's son-in-law, so it is hard to say that he was not involved.
"Duke Qi was my father's childhood playmate. No one understands his thoughts better than me!"
"Yes, Father!"
Liu Zhao didn't quite understand what Liu Yan meant, and of course he couldn't get to the bottom of it.
"You are my son. Everything I do now is for your sake!"
"I know, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
Liu Zhao was very touched.
"Sima Yu was sentenced to death, and the Duke of Qi is now silent. You should know that he still has a son!"
"Father, do you mean that the Duke of Qi will not go with the King of Song and the others this time for the sake of his son?"
"Yes, he came to me before and wanted Sima Jin to go to the disaster relief. But when he heard that I wanted you to go, he gave up the idea!"
"what does that mean?"
"He just wants Sima Jin to inherit his title in the future, so that Sima Jin can go out and gain some face and come back so that I can promote him!"
"That means the Duke of Qi will not join in the rebellion!"
"That's not necessarily true, son! You have to remember one thing: you can't distrust these ministers in the court. You can't trust them completely, you can't doubt them completely, but you can't not doubt them either!"
"Your Majesty, I know. Thank you for reminding me!"
Liu Zhao knelt down and kowtowed twice.
"You and I are father and son, so there's no need for suspicion. Just do it boldly and don't be timid!"
Liu Yan seemed to have noticed that Liu Zhao was a little nervous in his words and actions.
Once wisdom is awakened, you can learn a little bit of everything!
Of course, this is normal.
Most sons are afraid of their fathers!
