I'm a useless prince, so what if I know a little bit of chemistry?

"Communicating with bandits and delivering letters for them? Where does this put the dignity of our royal family?"

"Nonsense! What a nonsense!"

Hailong looked at Emperor Liang, who seemed to be angry, but Hailong had been with the emperor for many years and knew him very well, so he knew that he was not really angry.

He immediately said:

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince may just want to recruit heroes from all sides. Besides, Yang Wenhu's skills are indeed extraordinary. If he is recruited, he will also be a brave general."

Emperor Liang glared at Hai Long and said, "Since when did you start speaking for Fan Er?"

Hai Long knew that Emperor Liang had no intention of blaming him, but at this moment, he had to admit his fault, so he immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty:

"I deserve to die, but everything I said is true."

Emperor Liang then looked at the paper below and said, "Get up. If Yang Wenhu really serves the country, it will be a good thing."

"Yes, Your Majesty is wise." Hailong responded repeatedly.

Emperor Liang looked at the second report, his eyes turned cold, he slammed the table hard, and said angrily: "Who dares to kill the prince? This is rebellion!"

There were even shadows of the Three Kingdoms outside the Great Wall, which made him furious.

"They are just a few nomadic barbarians, yet they dare to reach out to my country. Do you really think I am easy to bully?"

Emperor Liang looked at Hailong angrily and asked, "Have you found out? Who is behind this?"

Hai Long quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei are investigating. Since the Jinyiwei have not yet infiltrated all parts of the country, it will take some time."

Emperor Liang threw the report in Hai Long's face and cursed: "Useless, all of you are useless. My Liang is infested with termites, and you can't even catch one?"

The people from outside the Great Wall dared to kill Lin Fan in the territory of Liang State. There is no doubt that they were not organized by themselves. There must be a mastermind behind it.

Emperor Liang had no idea how the mastermind behind this was colluding with people outside the Great Wall.

The Jinyiwei also had nothing to report.

This made him very angry.

If they wanted to attack me, wouldn't they be unable to get any information?

Emperor Liang even suspected that the mastermind might be involved in the Huns' massive southward advance.

Moreover, the mastermind behind this must be in the capital of Daliang and hold a high position, otherwise he would not have known that Lin Fan went south to Jiangnan.

"I will conduct a thorough investigation. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Hailong kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy.

"Find out as soon as possible, otherwise you will be fired as the commander of the Imperial Guard." Emperor Liang suppressed his anger and said calmly.

Hailong quickly knelt on the ground, buried his head deeply in the ground, and repeatedly assured: "Yes, yes, yes, I will do my best."

Emperor Liang's calmness made Hailong even more frightened.

If Emperor Liang got angry, he might just be scolded or at most beaten by the Emperor himself. If so, it would just show that Emperor Liang was dissatisfied with him, not that he was useless.

But Emperor Liang was so calm that Hailong realized that if he couldn't handle this matter well, Emperor Liang would really start to doubt his ability and would take action and prepare to replace him.

Emperor Liang looked at the other reports again and whispered, "Stand up first, don't kneel down and get in the way."

"Yes, yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Hailong kowtowed and stood beside Emperor Liang without daring to breathe.

"Break into Yihe County? This kid is quite courageous. He actually dares to break into Lin Yidao's territory? Someone broke into his camp before and was beaten with a hundred military sticks." Emperor Liang muttered as he looked at the report in his hand.

Emperor Liang looked down again and saw some matters that Lin Fan had to deal with when he went to Yixiang Tower.

"As a prince, how can you frequent brothels?" Emperor Liang frowned, but he was not angry in his heart.

Lin Fan's behavior further proves that Lin Fan is not qualified to be the crown prince, and can also be used to suppress Lin Fan later.

"Perhaps, should we find a marriage for Faner?" Emperor Liang murmured.

Lin Fan's frequent visits to brothels ultimately undermined the royal dignity and also brought shame to Emperor Liang.

After determining that Lin Fan was unable to serve as the crown prince, he felt relieved. For the remaining matters, Emperor Liang still had to rely on the royal authority. After all, Lin Fan was still the crown prince.

"Your Majesty, the two princes are already old, and it is time for them to get married." Hailong agreed.

"Well, I have the same idea. Find a woman to look after Faner and prevent him from doing anything wrong." Emperor Liang said.

As for Lin Fan's poems and other things, Emperor Liang also read them and found them quite good. After pondering them carefully, he couldn't help but admire them.

"Fan'er has excellent literary talent. If he is to be the Imperial Censor, he will be more than qualified."

Although Emperor Liang disliked Lin Fan, he would definitely not let Lin Fan die.

At least when there is no certainty of taking down the Nian family, let Lin Fan die.

Nian Gui has great prestige in the army. If he is pushed into a corner, there is no guarantee that he will not have other ideas.

Therefore, Emperor Liang is only weakening the strength of the Nian family now and will not touch the Nian family.

"From now on, there is no need to keep a close eye on Fan'er. It would be nice to let him have some fun outside." Emperor Liang said to Hailong.

"Yes." Hailong replied.

"Hahaha, my royal brother is still busy at this hour?"

Emperor Liang knew who walked in without even looking up.

"Why is Zhengguo free to come to the palace today?" Emperor Liang asked with a smile.

Lin Zhengguo smiled and put the food box on the table, and said to Emperor Liang: "I miss you, my brother. It's been a long time since we had a drink together. We should have a few more drinks today."

Emperor Liang saw the food in the lunch box and found that most of it was what he liked. It was almost lunchtime and he was really hungry.

"Your Majesty..." Hailong reminded softly.

On the one hand, he was afraid that the food might be poisonous, and on the other hand, he wanted to remind Emperor Liang that there would be noon court soon.

"What? Would I poison my own elder brother? You, a servant, are too ignorant." Lin Zhengguo was dissatisfied and glared at Hailong.

"Hailong, go down first. Today I want to have a drink with the Iron Hat King." Emperor Liang waved his hand, signaling him to leave.

"Your Majesty, there will be a noon court session later." Hailong reminded.

"Then just tell them that there will be no court session today. What a trouble!" Lin Zhengguo cursed.

"Go ahead, the noon court is cancelled." said Emperor Liang.

"Yes."

Hailong slowly left.

Lin Zhengguo arranged the wine and food, put a piece of meat in Emperor Liang's bowl, and said, "Brother, come, eat more. Look at you, you are tired and thin."

"Okay, okay, you eat too." Emperor Liang said with a smile.

"Zhengguo, business is not good, right?"

"Well, it's just like that. It's just busier and not as interesting as leading troops in battle." Lin Zhengguo said calmly.

"It's all my brother's fault. You've suffered so much, Zhengguo. Do you still want to lead the troops?"

After Emperor Liang finished speaking, he took a sip of wine.

Lin Zhengguo also picked up the wine glass and said, "I don't care. I will do whatever my elder brother tells me to do."

Emperor Liang said with a smile, "Now that you, Niangui, have been sent to the frontier by me, the surrounding wars need someone to lead them. Why don't you, Zhengguo, go?"
