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

The shouts of thanks continued for a long time, until Zhao Liangchen stood up and told everyone to disperse, and then everyone left one after another.

His actions soon spread into the city. Not only the emperor heard about it, but also King Liang and all the officials.

The officials had different reactions to what he did, but most of them were pleased and praised him. For example, Grand Tutor Yan and others believed that Zhao Liangchen was restoring the reputation of the emperor and the people, which was a great thing. This would allow the victims to return home smoothly without any resistance.

Some people believe that Zhao Liangchen did this entirely for his father, because his father was still under house arrest. The more achievements he made, the more beneficial it would be for his father to be reinstated.

Of course, there are many people among these people who envy and hate Zhao Jian for having such a good son. Because they don’t have one themselves, they scold Zhao Liangchen for flattery and seeking popularity.

The people from Prince Liang's faction had the biggest reaction. They had already sent people to spread praises of Prince Liang among the victims in the past few days, and their efforts had begun to show results. However, Zhao Liangchen intervened and all their efforts were wasted.

Zhao Liangchen only said that the disaster relief money came from the emperor's private treasury, and did not mention at all that Prince Liang took the lead in donating money. Originally, they thought that things should be revealed little by little, and not all the achievements of Prince Liang should be brought out at once. This would not only seem too deliberate, but also too much praise in the early stage, and would be weak in the later stages.

Their plan was to wait until the relief money was delivered to Chanzhou and then have an official inadvertently reveal where the relief money came from. This would make it appear that King Liang was not seeking fame, was low-key and only cared about the people. This was in stark contrast to the emperor who made a fuss about taking out a little money and had it known to everyone, and was eventually robbed.

As a result, Zhao Liangchen only mentioned the money donated by the emperor without mentioning the donations from others. This gave the victims a preconceived notion that the emperor donated the most. Even if they later learned that Prince Liang took the lead in donating, it was icing on the cake. Besides, it was donated by all the officials, not Prince Liang alone, and it did not highlight Prince Liang's uniqueness.

When King Liang heard the news, his usually gentle face gradually turned sinister, and even his smile was tinged with sinister intent: "I never thought that Zhao Jian, that brainless man, would give birth to such a smart son. It seems that I underestimated him."

Originally, when Zhao Liangchen captured Zhao Kuo last time, he felt it was a pity to push such a talent to the emperor's side. This was the first time he had the idea of ​​regret.

Now he felt even more regretful, thinking that it was extremely stupid to gain Zhao Jian but lose Zhao Liangchen. He thought that if he had directly won over Zhao Liangchen, chosen to tell him the truth, and handed the Su Jijing case to him, there would not have been so many troubles.

"Send someone to investigate Zhao Liangchen thoroughly. If he's useful, we'll find a way to use him for our benefit. If he's not, there's no need to keep him around."

Someone soon took the order and went, and not long after, Zhao Jian also knew about it.

Zhao Liangchen, who was still outside the city, didn't know what consequences his actions had caused among the officials. However, even if he knew, he would only be happy because this was the result he wanted.

After the crowd dispersed, he pretended to follow Zou Tai and took the opportunity of patrol to slowly approach Su Qin's tent.

Because Zou Tai often moved among the victims, no one would suspect that he was bringing people close to the victims' tents. Moreover, Zou Tai often took care of Su Qin, and everyone nearby knew it. So when they approached, the surrounding victims thought that Su Qin had asked Zou Tai to bring something to them again.

Su Qin knew Zhao Liangchen was coming when he was performing, but she didn't get close to him. Although she was good at acting, she still couldn't act out the scene of being grateful and kowtowing to express her gratitude. She was afraid that once she knelt down, she would not be able to help but burn some paper for him.

Seeing Zhao Liangchen walking towards this direction, she sat in front of her tent and did not move. After Zhao Liangchen approached, he did not speak to her directly, but quickly glanced at her and found that she was no longer the smelly and messy image when she was just sent out of the city. Now Su Qin was wearing new clothes, washed and dressed, sitting there quietly like a fair-skinned little scholar.

He found that every time he saw Su Qin, Su Qin gave him a different feeling, like a brand new person. He really couldn't figure out which side of Su Qin was the truest side.

He nodded slightly at Su Qin and asked, "Excuse me, which house is Xu Xiucai's?"

Su Qin was slightly startled and pointed to the side. Xu Yunguo was sitting in front of her tent, watching the fun. When she heard Zhao Liangchen looking for her home, she stood up nervously and said, "Sir, are you looking for my house...?"

Zhao Liangchen asked gently, "Are you Xu Xiucai's family member?"

Xu Yunguo asked timidly, "My father and my brother are both scholars. Which Xu scholar are you looking for?"

Zhao Liangchen smiled: "I'm looking for both scholars."

Xu Feng leaned forward and said, "I'm Xu Feng. My father is out chopping wood. Sir, do you have something to tell me?"

Zhao Liangchen glanced at Xu Feng and saw that he indeed looked in very poor health. Not only was his face pale, but he also needed to hold onto the rope on the tent to keep his balance.

Zhao Liangchen retracted his gaze and handed over the bookcase in his hand: "I am Mr. Zeng's student. This is the book that the teacher asked me to bring to you. He said it will be helpful for your scientific examination."

Xu Feng's eyes lit up when he saw the books. All his books had been washed away by the flood. He hadn't read a book in a long time. Although he wanted to, he didn't reach out to take it. Instead, he hesitated and said, "Mr. Zeng's books must be priceless. I dare not accept such a valuable gift. I hope you will understand."

Zhao Liangchen smiled and said, "Books are just books. They are only valuable to book lovers. To those who don't, they are just pieces of waste paper. You don't need to care so much about them. The reason the teacher gave you the books is, firstly, because he sees that you are talented people. He cherishes talents and can't bear to see you buried. Secondly, it's for Miss Suqing. He and Miss Suqing hit it off the first time they met and treated her like his own granddaughter. But now her status is special and he can't take care of her personally, so he wants to ask your family to take better care of her."

He made no secret of his intentions towards the Xu family, because he knew that scholars were people of integrity and would not accept his kindness before knowing his purpose. Once they knew his purpose, they would be more receptive.

Xu Feng looked at Su Qin, and Su Qin blinked her innocent eyes: "Brother Xu, just accept it. Grandpa gave me the books because he wanted you to go to high school. At worst, you can wait until you are in high school and show your filial piety to Grandpa."

Xu Feng was still hesitating, and Zhao Liangchen looked at Su Qin: "Are you Miss Su Qing?"

Su Qin saw that he really didn't act like he knew her, and she complained in her heart, this boy is really good at pretending. He is such a good actor, maybe his kindness to her is all acted. She began to doubt again.

But she still smiled obediently: "Yes, I am Su Qing."

Zhao Liangchen calmly handed the bundle in his other hand to Su Qin: "This is what the teacher asked me to give you."

Su Qin took it naturally: "Thank you very much, General."

Zhao Liangchen: "You don't have to be so polite. I am your student and you are your granddaughter. From now on, we are a family. You can call me Liangchen."

He spoke lightly, but he was very nervous in his heart. He had long felt that it was strange for Su Qin to always call him Lord Zhao, but he also felt that it was inappropriate to ask others to call him Liangchen. Now he took this opportunity to say it out loud, and he had mustered up great courage. He clenched his hands in his sleeves, fearing that Su Qin would refuse.

Su Qin pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Thank you very much, Liangchen."

In her opinion, calling Liangchen was just like calling her colleague's name, there was no difference.

She didn't think it was a big deal, but Zhao Liangchen was so happy that he almost jumped up. The fact that Su Qin was willing to call him by his name meant that she treated him as one of her own, and their relationship became closer.

He raised the corners of his lips, unable to suppress them. "The teacher told me to tell you that he has arranged everything. Once the disaster victims here start to evacuate, he will take you into the city."

Su Qin nodded: "Okay."

Xu Feng watched the two of them chatting as if no one was around, feeling helpless. He could only gesture to Xu Yunguo to take the bookcase. "In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Zeng on behalf of my father. Please also convey that I and my family will definitely take good care of Miss Suqing."

The matter was already very clear. Both Zhao Liangchen and Mr. Zeng came for Su Qin. If he didn't accept these books, Mr. Zeng and Zhao Liangchen would probably not feel at ease. It would be a good thing for both of them if he accepted them.
