Time Travel: The Useless Prince, First Destroy the Princess

"See Your Highness!"

Sima Bei stood respectfully at the door of Xuande Hall and knelt down when he saw Liu Zhao from afar.

The sound is quite loud.

Liu Zhao slowly walked up to him and said, "Duke Qi is ill, so it's rare for you to come see me!"

"Your Highness, I acknowledge my guilt!"

Sima Bei was kneeling, but he was not vague at all.

He obviously admitted that he was faking illness.

"Come in and talk!"

Liu Zhao said coldly.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Sima Bei stood up and quietly followed Liu Zhao in.

As soon as Liu Zhao sat down, he immediately knelt down again.

"Is there something you need from me?"

"I do have something to report!"

Sima Bei said while kneeling.

"Say it!"

Liu Zhao had no intention of letting him stand up.

"Prince Song wrote to me a few days ago. I dare not conceal anything, so I have come here specially to present the letter to Your Highness. Please review it!"

Sima Bei said this and took out the letter from his pocket.

With both hands raised.

Liu Zhao looked at Sima Bei and wondered what he was planning.

Tang Dan just said yesterday that King Song wrote a letter to Sima Bei.

Send a letter today!

Are the two of them colluding to fool me?

There won’t be any hidden tricks in your heart!

Add some chemicals?

poison gas?

It’s better to be careful!

"Zhang Hong, present it!"

Liu Zhao shouted.

Zhang Hong ran in and took the letter.

"open!"

Zhang Hong opened the letter again.

There was no mechanism, and of course no poisonous gas was sprayed out.

"Your Highness!"

Zhang Hong then handed it to Liu Zhao.

"Spread it on the table!"

Liu Zhao didn't want to have anything to do with this letter.

What if a little bit of Noxious Bleeding was smeared on the letter?

There’s nothing I can do after watching too many martial arts movies!

Liu Zhao had a special taboo towards Sima Bei.

"Yes!"

Zhang Hong carefully unfolded the letter and spread it on the table.

Liu Zhao had good eyesight and looked at the letter.

"My father-in-law is well. I was originally in Yizhou. There are many treacherous villains in the court, which makes the emperor suspicious of me. What can I do? I am always under surveillance, but now I have escaped. My father-in-law and the emperor are close friends, but please inform the emperor that fighting against one's own family is absolutely forbidden!"

After reading it, Liu Zhao sneered.

"Duke Qi, have you read the contents of the letter?"

The envelope was sealed with a wax seal just now!

It seems that it has never been opened!

So Liu Zhao asked.

"Your Highness, although the King of Song and I are father-in-law and son-in-law, we don't interact much. The King of Song has always coveted the throne, so I dare not see him privately!"

"Haha!" Liu Zhao laughed.

"How long has this letter been here? You don't dare to read it privately?"

Liu Zhao cursed in his heart, the King of Song has already raised an army!

It has been at least several days since this letter reached Sima Bei's hands.

"This letter has been in my hands for four days, but I was ill and was unable to submit it to Your Highness in time. I acknowledge my guilt!"

"Good! I'm glad you haven't seen it!"

Liu Zhao sneered.

Even if you're just bragging, you should still write a draft!

Let me see what you are up to!

"Then read the letter!"

Liu Zhao said coldly.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Sima Bei carefully took the letter, took a look at it, and his face suddenly changed.

"Your Highness, Prince Song actually dared to escape. This is truly a heinous crime. Please issue an order immediately to have Prince Song arrested!"

"Arrest him? Do you know where he is?"

"I don't know!"

Sima Bei put the letter on the ground tremblingly.

"We don't even know where the people are? How can we capture them?"

"I don't know, sir!"

Sima Bei felt his lips tremble slightly.

It seems that in the prince's mind, he has already classified himself as a member of the King of Song's party.

Then what's the point of me just listening to my wife and coming here to show my loyalty?

It would be better to just go and rebel against King Song!

"It's best if you don't know. There are some things you know clearly in your heart. I can't stand people who play two-timing!"

Liu Zhao directly stated his bottom line.

"Yes, Your Highness! I will definitely keep this in mind!"

Sima Bei had no choice but to say.

"Did you know about the Sixth Prince's rebellion and attack on Yangcheng?"

"I know!"

"You're so well-informed! Even though you're sick at home, you still know about such a big thing!"

Liu Zhao sneered again.

"Your Highness, the news of the Six Princes' rebellion is known to everyone in the world, so I heard a little about it! However, I am old and frail, and suffer from many illnesses. I cannot offer you any advice. I am truly incompetent!"

"Duke Qi is too modest. You are one of the Three Dukes of our Great Jing Dynasty. You have made outstanding contributions to the establishment of the Great Jing Dynasty! My father is grateful, and so am I!"

Liu Zhao said slowly.

"Your Highness, I am truly humbled by your praise. I am willing to serve you at your service!"

Sima Bei continued to express his loyalty.

"Very good, then give me some advice. What should I do if the six princes rebel?"

Liu Zhao stared at him and said.

"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince is in rebellion. This is truly disrespectful to His Majesty. We must immediately suppress the rebellion and restore peace to the Great Jing Dynasty!"

"Okay! I heard from my father that your nickname is Sima the Divine Calculator! So, can you tell me which is more likely to happen: the imperial court or the six princes?"

Liu Zhao made up a nickname, but Sima Jiatou was actually more familiar.

"Sima Shensuan?"

Sima Bei's heart skipped a beat. He had never heard of this nickname!

"Your Highness, the imperial court suppressed the rebellion. Being just, the court has many supporters. Naturally, the imperial court will defeat the rebellion. The six princes rebelled, but being unjust, they have few supporters. Naturally, they will be crushed! This is a matter of time, place, and people. I can naturally calculate it!"

Sima Bei said.

"Very good, you are so confident. I have something for you to do!"

"Your Highness, please issue an order!"

Sima Bei felt a little panicked.

"I appoint you as the Xuande Envoy. Go to Yangcheng immediately and persuade the six princes to withdraw their troops!"

Liu Zhao also came up with this idea on the spur of the moment.

"Your Highness, I am not familiar with the Sixth Prince!"

Sima Bei was stunned for a moment!

I originally thought that the prince would be angry and even dismiss me from my post!

Unexpectedly, the prince did not get angry, but ordered me to be the envoy of Xuande to persuade the six kings?

How can this be?

"The emperor is in poor health right now, and you are a close friend. Don't you want to share his worries?"

Big hat, put it on you!

"Your Highness, I am willing to do so, but I have no prestige. I am afraid the Sixth Prince will not listen! It would be futile!"

"That's fine. I believe in you! Just do your best. If you don't listen, the imperial army will crush the rebellion and victory is just around the corner. When the time comes, you can't blame me for not giving you a chance!"

"Yes, Your Highness, I will go there immediately!"

Sima Bei made up his mind.

Persuasion will definitely not be very effective, but you must go.

"Eunuch Qi is loyal to his country and truly a model minister. As the acting emperor, I will naturally not treat you unfairly!"

Liu Zhao said with a smile.

"Your Highness, it is my duty to be loyal to the Emperor and His Highness!"

"Very good!" Liu Zhao continued, "Zhang Hong, convey my decree to immediately confer the title of Marquis Xuande on the son of the Duke of Qi. Come to the palace immediately to express your gratitude!"

"Ah? Marquis Xuande? Where did this name come from?" Sima Bei was confused.

Although Zhang Hong was also confused, he had to do it immediately.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness!"

Sima Bei vaguely felt that this was Liu Zhao's conspiracy, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Are you going to take your son hostage?
