Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

The next morning, Zhao Liangchen went to the Zhao Mansion. Zhao Gupan asked his maid to wait in the front yard early. When he learned that Zhao Liangchen had arrived, he trotted to the front yard.

The gifts were all prepared and loaded into the car. When Zhao Jian was about to leave, he saw Zhao Gupan rushing over.

Zhao Gupan saw Zhao Jian stop and hesitated, not daring to move forward. Zhao Liangchen saw this and said to Zhao Jian, "Father, I'm going to talk to my elder sister."

Zhao Jian saw that Zhao Gupan had guessed what she came for, and his face turned a little unhappy, but he still nodded solemnly: "Hurry up."

Zhao Liangchen nodded and walked towards Zhao Gupan. When he got closer, he whispered, "Big sister, have you thought it through?"

Zhao Gupan bit her lip and nodded awkwardly: "I've made up my mind. I'll go to Prince Zhan's Mansion."

She really couldn't open her mouth to say it. She felt ashamed to say in person that she had to serve an old man for status, position and money.

But she had nothing since she was a child, and no one cared about her except Zhao Liangchen. She really didn't want to live this kind of embarrassing life where no one cared about her and she had no money.

Zhao Liangchen curled his lips slightly. He knew that Zhao Gupan would make this choice. He knew this elder sister too well. She was heartless. She didn't care about love. She only cared about money and status.

He replied softly, "Okay, I understand. I'll tell my father to hire a nanny to teach you the rules. I'll also ask my mother to prepare a larger dowry for you so that the people in Prince Zhan's mansion won't look down on you."

The amount of the dowry directly represents the importance of the woman's family. Even if she is a concubine, if the dowry is larger, she will be looked up to by her husband's family.

Zhao Gupan looked up happily: "Really? Thank you, big brother."

She had known before that her dowry would not be much. She originally thought that if she became a concubine, her mother would definitely find excuses to give her less dowry. Since Zhao Liangchen was willing to fight for a dowry for her, he would definitely be able to get it. A larger dowry would naturally be better. She went to Prince Zhan's mansion to win over people, and it cost money to make arrangements.

Zhao Liangchen: "Okay, go back and wait. Don't go out recently and wait patiently for marriage."

After saying that, he turned and walked to Zhao Jian: "Let's go, father."

Zhao Jian glanced at Zhao Gupan and asked as he walked away, "What does Gupan want to see you about?"

Zhao Liangchen did not hide it: "My eldest sister is looking for my son to talk about her marriage."

Zhao Jian snorted coldly, "Did she say she didn't want to go to Prince Zhan's mansion? You don't know what I'm talking about. I'm doing this for her own good. With her status, even if she were to marry someone as a wife, what good family could she marry into? She would still be tortured by her mother-in-law.

If she goes to Prince Zhan's mansion, not only will she not have to serve her parents-in-law, but she will also have endless money to spend. To be disrespectful, the old prince can still live for a few more years. When the old prince dies, no one will dare to do anything to her with her family around. Won't she live a happy life in the future? But she is short-sighted and cries and makes a fuss about not wanting to go. You should not be too accommodating to her and try to persuade her. "

Zhao Liangchen replied softly, "Yes, my son persuaded her yesterday, and she said today that she has thought it through and is willing to go to Prince Zhan's Mansion."

Zhao Jian looked at him in surprise: "Agreed? How did you persuade her?"

Zhao Liangchen: "My son just analyzed his father and mother's painstaking efforts for her. Parents who love their children have far-reaching plans for them. His father is also doing this for her own good. She is not stupid. Once he explains it clearly, she will naturally understand. She was just stuck in a dead end before."

Zhao Jian patted Zhao Liangchen's shoulder happily and said, "Good, good, you can finally understand your father's painstaking efforts."

He now truly feels that Zhao Liangchen is a good person, obedient, sensible, capable, and more reliable than his other children.

Zhao Liangchen followed up and said, "Father, since my elder sister is going to the Zhanwang Mansion, you should ask a nanny to teach her some etiquette. There are many people and things going on in the Zhanwang Mansion. Don't let my elder sister go there and behave recklessly and offend someone, and offend the old prince.

We are married to the Prince Zhan's Mansion, so we don't want to cause trouble and become enemies. After all, if the eldest sister is good, we will be better off."

Zhao Jian nodded in agreement: "You are right, it is time to teach him some rules."

Zhao Liangchen continued, "Also, let mother prepare more dowry for my eldest sister. Although the Prince Zhan's Mansion is rich and doesn't care about our small dowry, my eldest sister represents the reputation of our Zhao Mansion. Only a generous dowry can show our importance to her, to the Prince Zhan's Mansion, and to this marriage."

Zhao Jian looked Zhao Liangchen up and down and said with emotion: "You have really grown up. You always take everything into consideration when doing things."

Zhao Liangchen said modestly: "My son just wants to make our family better. Only when our family is better can my son be better. It's always better to be cautious."

Zhao Jian nodded in satisfaction. "It's good that you have your family in mind. After the New Year, when your sister marries into Prince Zhan's mansion, it's time to start arranging your marriage. I'll ask your mother to pick out a few families for you. Then you can decide which one suits your taste."

Speaking of marriage, Zhao Liangchen remembered that he was thinking of asking Su Qin to be the hostess of his house yesterday. Faced with Zhao Jian's proposal, he did not object, but respectfully agreed.

Agreeing is one thing, marrying or not is another. The person Zhao Jian wants him to marry must be someone who is interested in King Liang, and he will find a way to turn her down.

When the two arrived at the Prince of Liang's mansion, the steward of the Prince of Liang's mansion was about to let them go after accepting the gifts. In the past few days, there had been a constant stream of people coming to the Prince of Liang's mansion to give gifts, and since the Prince of Liang was injured, it was impossible for him to meet with all of them.

Zhao Jian said to the housekeeper with a smile, "Please go in and inform him. I have something to ask the prince."

He pointed to the carriages behind him and said, "There are some things in here that need to be delivered to the prince personally."

The official looked at the carriages behind him and found it a little strange. Although Prince Liang had a high status and most of the people who came to give him gifts wanted to curry favor with him, no matter who came to give gifts, they all came in one carriage. It was indeed strange that there were several of them.

After thinking about it, he decided to go in and report it for the sake of caution. When King Liang heard that Zhao Liangchen had also come, he thought that he must have something to ask him, so he met the father and son.

Zhao Jian asked the servants of Prince Liang's mansion to pull the carriage directly to the courtyard where Prince Liang was. Although the emperor didn't know what Zhao Jian was going to do, he didn't stop him.

When they arrived at the gate of the yard, Zhao Liangchen got into the car himself, found the wrapped map plates from a pile of gifts and moved them all down.

King Liang received them in his study. As the servants filed in, carrying in pieces of silk-wrapped things, he asked Zhao Jian in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Zhao Jian's voice was a little excited: "Your Majesty, I have a special gift for you?"

King Liang frowned, his gaze fixed on the scattered packages, his heart aching with irritation. He knew Zhao Jian's actions were merely flattery, but what he desired now was not their adulation, but to have them get down to business and help him quickly ascend to the high position he longed for.

To him, those superficial things were of no value at all.

However, King Liang did not get angry. He still suppressed his temper, forced a smile on his face, and said, "Then open it quickly and let me see what kind of rare treasure is worth your trouble to come all this way."

Zhao Jian quickly signaled Zhao Liangchen to start. Zhao Liangchen then squatted down and carefully unwrapped the packages one by one, and the map gradually revealed its true appearance.

The serial numbers on the cloth wrapping the map were clearly visible. Zhao Liangchen carefully followed the serial numbers, opening each piece one by one and then piecing them together in order. At first, King Liang was completely clueless about the map, but when Zhao Liangchen had pieced together a third of it, he was suddenly dumbfounded. He stared at the map on the ground in shock, his voice trembling like a candle in the wind: "This... what is this?"

A hint of pride flashed across Zhao Jian's face as he explained, "Your Highness, this is meticulously crafted according to a map. Look, this is Shangjing City, that is Yuzhou, and this is Chanzhou. Each state is crafted from a different material, each chosen to highlight its specialty. In the future, you only need to examine this map to see the entire world. Sooner or later, the world will be yours. This is simply a gift from this humble official to you in advance."
