He wanted to enter the palace because of Prince Liang's mission to deliver disaster relief silver, although he knew that he had reached the limit of what he could do.

King Liang wanted to earn a good reputation by escorting disaster relief money to the disaster area, and he couldn't change that.

But he didn't want King Liang to get what he wanted so easily, so he had to find a way to trip him up.

He also had to find a way to remind the emperor of the interests involved and hint to him what impact Prince Liang's visit would have on their reputations.

Moreover, Prince Liang has now infiltrated the Imperial Guards and bribed countless of them. This time, the local garrison troops were responsible for escorting the victims. Prince Liang followed them all the way to Chanzhou, came into contact with the garrison troops, left a good impression on them, and even bribed some military generals. Then he would slowly deprive the emperor of his military power, and by then they would have started a rebellion several years earlier.

We have to find a way to alienate the relationship between King Liang and the Xiang army when the victims leave, or to improve the emperor's status in the hearts of the Xiang army.

Although the emperor trusts King Liang very much, doing this will not make him doubt King Liang, but it can also plant a seed in the emperor's heart, making him begin to care about his image in the hearts of the people, so that he will not be so easily manipulated by King Liang in the future.

As he walked, he was thinking about how to tell the emperor when Zhao Jian walked in.

Seeing Zhao Liangchen walking, he frowned: "Why don't you rest more."

Then he glared at Lai Fu and Lai Xi who were standing beside him: "How did you take care of the young master? You let him torture himself like this?"

The two servants were so frightened that they knelt down and apologized.

Zhao Liangchen then spoke up: "Father, don't blame them. It's because your son can't lie down. He wants to exercise as soon as possible so that he can recover sooner and share your worries."

Zhao Jian glared at Zhao Liangchen and said, "You, the master, are messing around, and they don't stop you. I see that they are all tactless and their service is not attentive. I will pick out a few smart ones and send them over to serve you."

Zhao Liangchen knew that he was sending people to monitor him because he had been too aggressive recently.

However, he did not refuse openly, and asked, "The people chosen by father are definitely excellent, but has the emperor lifted our house arrest? We are still short of many servants in the mansion. We have to wait until the house arrest is lifted before we can find a servant to buy people."

Zhao Jian's face turned a little grim. "No, the Prime Minister meant that the case has not been fully investigated, and the suspicion against me has not been resolved. It is not appropriate to lift the house arrest too early. He said that we should wait until the case is fully investigated. However, since you have made meritorious service, you can go out."

Zhao Liangchen knew that this was King Liang's punishment for his father's poor performance.

This time, King Liang suffered such a huge loss that he had to take action personally. He must be quite disappointed with his father and took the opportunity to give him a warning.

This was also what he wanted to see. He gradually alienated the relationship between King Liang and his father, wanting his father to lose power until he had nothing.

He was secretly delighted, but said comfortingly: "Father, don't worry. The court has been a bit chaotic recently. We don't know how many people are involved in the case of embezzling disaster relief funds. It's good for you to stay at home and avoid the limelight. When everything is investigated and you are reinstated, you will definitely be more respected than before."

Zhao Jian looked at him meaningfully: "How do you know that your father is not the one implicated?"

Zhao Liangchen shook his head with certainty: "Father will not be implicated.

The prisoner was caught by my son yesterday, and the silver was also found by my son. This can be considered a merit. We are father and son, and we are one. It doesn't make sense that the son should be punished for his meritorious service.

If we don't count my son's contribution, but punish us together with him for our offense, I'm afraid none of the officials will agree.

Everyone is afraid that something like this will happen to them.

Besides, Master Tong isn't that stupid. He knows exactly who can be convicted and who cannot be convicted."

Zhao Jian chuckled twice: "You think clearly."

He used to think that his son was an outstanding person with outstanding ability to do things, and was a very obedient dog, and he could do things for him at no cost.

However, through what happened in the past two days, he discovered that his son was not only obedient and capable, but also very intelligent, and had a very thorough understanding of current affairs and human nature.

Even King Liang praised his son with him.

King Liang said, "A bastard's son is still a son. Raise him well. A good brain is better than a good family background."

It seems that he will have to change his attitude towards this son in the future.

Train him well and treat him as your own. Without them, you won't be able to achieve great things sooner.

Thinking of this, his tone softened a lot: "How is your injury? If you need any herbs, but it's hard to tell your mother, you can ask your servant to come with me to ask for them. I have some good supplements, and I'll send someone to bring them to you later."

Zhao Liangchen immediately showed an expression of being flattered: "No need, father, my son's minor injury will be healed in a few days. Don't waste those good things."

Zhao Jian's face darkened. "You can't refuse a gift from an elder. Just take it. You've made such a great contribution, and this is what you deserve."

Zhao Liangchen was now moved and said with great gratitude, "Thank you very much, father. I will take good care of my injuries and try to help you as soon as possible."

Zhao Jian was very satisfied with his attitude. He stood up and said, "Okay, you should have a good rest. Don't move around too quickly, or you might develop a serious illness.

When the confinement is lifted and the mansion has more servants, I will send you some more people to serve you."

Zhao Liangchen also stood up: "Son, I understand. Thank you, father."

Before leaving, Zhao Jian glared at the two servants still kneeling on the ground and scolded them harshly, "Serve carefully. If you neglect the master again, it will be your turn."

The two servants nodded quickly in fear.

After Zhao Jian left, Lai Xi cautiously raised his head and asked Zhao Liangchen, "Master, let me help you go and rest."

Zhao Liangchen was too lazy to deal with the two of them and waved them out.

He walked back to the bed and lay down to rest. His father's attitude just now made him realize that his father's attitude towards him had changed.

This change is not because they see his good qualities and want to be nice to him, but because they want to use him in a different way.

Thinking about how King Liang had patted him on the shoulder and told him to work hard, maybe he was impressed by his abilities and said something to his father.

Haha, Zhao Liangchen sneered. They really thought he was a soft persimmon that they could squeeze and twist at will. They wanted him to work for them with his life. He was dreaming!

He just wanted their lives.

Not long after, Zhao Jian had people send over a lot of supplements: ginseng, deer antlers, angelica, bird's nest... and even a Ganoderma lucidum.

Zhao Liangchen felt extremely ironic looking at those things.

When he was a child, he wanted his father's love so much, but he couldn't even get a piece of candy.

But now that I have given so many things, it would be better not to give anything. There is not a trace of care in it, it is all calculation.

When Mrs. Zhao found out that Zhao Jian had sent a lot of supplements to Zhao Liangchen, she became so angry that her face turned blue and she smashed a set of tea sets.

However, after she lost her temper, she also sent someone to deliver something to Zhao Liangchen, but this time it was not something expensive.

Most of them were food, clothing and daily necessities, but they were many times better than what Zhao Liangchen had used before.

Soon Zhao Liangchen's house was filled with things, and even the furnishings in his room were replaced.

When Zou Tai arrived, he was shocked to see the completely changed room and the many things it contained. He asked, "Have you made a fortune?"
