Time Travel: The Useless Prince, First Destroy the Princess

Outside the palace gate, Tang Dan looked at the five people lying in a pool of blood.

"Ma, Master Ma, I'll find someone to handle this. Please stay here and protect His Highness!"

Tang Dan had seen Ma Zhuang's strength, and that strength was enough to crush ten of him!

Suddenly I was so nervous that I stuttered a little.

Fortunately, I was polite to the prince just now, otherwise my fate would be the same as Dong Daqiang's.

Originally, his rank was higher than Ma Zhuang, but at this time he was timid and actually called Ma Zhuang "Master Ma".

"Okay!" Ma Zhuang didn't waste any words.

These guards deserved to die, but someone still had to clean up the mess.

In the bedroom, Meng Yuanyuan brought hot water for Liu Zhao to take a bath.

After tossing and turning all night, even the strongest body couldn't take it.

Liu Zhao fell asleep as soon as he got into bed after taking a shower.

Outside the door, Tang Dan had already asked someone to deal with the bodies of Dong Daqiang and the guards, and washed the ground clean.

As if nothing had happened.

However, the guards have not been arranged yet, so he dare not make the decision on his own and must get Liu Zhao's approval.

He didn't even dare to report the information to the emperor alone, for fear that Liu Zhao would be unhappy.

After all, they are father and son, and I am just a subject.

The people brought in to handle the funeral are also strictly controlled and are not allowed to go out without permission for the time being to prevent the news from leaking.

These people were all Tang Dan's subordinates. Since several of them had died, they naturally didn't dare to speak carelessly.

After dealing with the funeral, Tang Dan stood at the palace gate and looked at Ma Zhuang.

Ma Zhuang stood there majestically, without saying a word.

Tang Dan didn't dare to ask anything!

At this time, Liu Zhao had woken up and walked out dressed neatly.

Of course you have to dress neatly and properly when meeting the emperor

"Let's go!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Tang Dan didn't dare to say anything and stepped forward to lead the way.

It was already around four o'clock in the afternoon. Ma Zhuang had not eaten anything yet and was starving, but there was nothing he could do!

I had to follow closely behind!

Not far away, I saw Zhang Hong walking towards here quickly.

Seeing Liu Zhao from a distance, he ran even faster!

Arriving in front of Liu Zhao, Zhang Hong immediately knelt on one knee and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor is looking for you!"

Zhang Hong is much smarter than Dong Daqiang. As a eunuch, it is very important to follow the right master.

Zhang Hong heard clearly the conversations between Liu Yan and Song Xian, but he was a eunuch and could not speak freely without the emperor's permission.

Listening to Liu Yan's conversation, it was inevitable that Liu Zhao would take over, so Zhang Hong decided to follow the prince!

When he saw Liu Zhao, of course he immediately bowed.

Liu Zhao was very satisfied with Zhang Hong's attitude and said, "Let's go! I also want to see the emperor!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Zhang Hong stood up.

"Greetings, Minister!" Tang Dan bowed hurriedly.

Among the eunuchs in the palace, Zhang Hong has the highest status and official position!

The Zhong Changshi was of the third rank, while Tang Dan was only of the fourth rank.

"Tang Dan, don't go. Go to Xiangming Hall and have some tea and wait!"

Zhang Hong's words were like orders, and Tang Dan felt a chill in his heart.

This insistence is bullshit. If the prince goes in alone, who knows what he will say!

Whether he can leave the palace is a small matter, but if I say that I will take him out to find beautiful women, won’t he be dead?

Besides, Dong Daqiang just died, and I have done my best. If what the prince said is inconsistent with the facts, I can also make an explanation!

"Attendant, I have something to report to His Majesty!"

"Important?" Zhang Hong smiled. "Do you know which officials were waiting to see the emperor in Xiangming Hall?"

"Anyone else?"

This surprised Tang Dan a little.

"Even the Duke of Qi cannot see the emperor, huh!" Zhang Hong said unhappily.

The implication is, who do you think you are, Tang Dan?

"But, I really have something important to report to the Emperor together with His Highness. Please inform the attendant!"

Tang Dan was almost desperate, since he and the prince were indeed planning to go to see the emperor together.

"What could be more important than His Majesty summoning the Crown Prince? Stay!"

Zhang Hong didn't even look at Tang Dan.

"Your Highness, this!" Tang Dan wanted to beg Liu Zhao.

"You don't need to go in with me! Just wait in the Xiangming Palace!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Tang Dan didn't dare to say anything more, for fear that Ma Zhuang would pull out the knife.

On second thought, if Liu Zhao really wanted to mess with him, then why bother? He could just let Ma Zhuang do it.

As for finding a woman, the prince seems to be smart now, and he probably doesn't want the emperor to know!

"Your Highness, please!"

Liu Zhao and Zhang Hong walked out quickly.

Tang Dan walked towards Xiangming Palace with a gloomy face.

That place was for drinking tea. When officials came to see the emperor, there was always a first-come, first-served order, so a place for drinking tea was set up.

This place looks simple, but it actually holds a lot of mysteries.

When to meet the emperor, first or later.

That was all Zhang Hong said!

However, there was no one in Xiangming Hall at this time, so Tang Dan took the initiative to invite Ma Zhuang to sit down.

There was a eunuch who came to make tea. Ma Zhuang was starving and had nothing to eat, so he drank a few cups of tea first.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

In Hanzhang Palace, Liu Zhao stood at the door, waiting for Zhang Hong to come and report.

Liu Yan was a little surprised. This speed was pretty good!

"come in!"

Liu Yan put down the memorial in his hand. It was Liu Jiong, the King of Pingxi, who came to report: the leader of the western barbarians, Tubineng, had organized an army of 100,000 and was ready to take action, and asked the court to send more troops to defend.

The world seemed peaceful at this time, but in fact the agricultural economy had not yet recovered, and the southern, northern and western borders were often invaded by foreign races!

Especially in the north, the Northern Huns fought bravely and went south many times over the past hundred years, as if they were in an empty land.

The King of Zhenbei stationed an army of 200,000 in the north. The Northern Huns were defeated in their repeated attacks and temporarily did not dare to invade.

The northern border has been relatively peaceful for the past decade.

This is also the reason why Liu Yan did not dare to touch the King of Zhenbei for the time being.

Now the western barbarians are about to start a war again, which is really adding insult to injury. The King of Zhenbei can no longer move.

"Your son greets the emperor!" Liu Zhao trotted in, knelt down and kowtowed.

Now that you are normal, there is no need to pretend to be stupid and don't be too smart.

Liu Yan was very happy and said, "Get up, sit down and talk!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Zhang Hong had already carefully poured water for Liu Zhao: "Your Highness, drink some water, be careful of the burns!"

Liu Zhao nodded.

"Get out! Close the door. The prince and I have something to talk about!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Hong ran out in a hurry and closed the door, so that the outsiders could hardly hear the conversation inside.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Liu Yan asked casually.

"I went to the West Palace and slept very well!"

Liu Zhao specifically pointed out that they were going to the West Palace because Xie Chan was a talented person awarded by Liu Yan.

Secondly, it also shows that not only is my intelligence normal, but my physical body is also normal.

Sanye also stated that he would not hide anything from him and was trustworthy.

Even between father and son, such as the emperor and the crown prince, there have been many examples since ancient times of mutual suspicion and even fighting.

Although Liu Zhao did not study history in college, he watched a lot of TV and read a lot of novels, so he had learned a lot of knowledge.

Fourthly, as the emperor, normally he has eyes and ears everywhere in the palace, and there is a high probability that what you do cannot be hidden from him!

Even including Dong Daqiang’s matter!

But then he thought again, he definitely didn't know that Dong Daqiang had assassinated him!

Otherwise, the palace would have been in chaos!

It has been at least two hours since Dong Daqiang assassinated him.

During this period, Liu Yan didn't know.

That means he may not have as many spies in the palace as imagined!

Otherwise, how could he not know that Dong Daqiang and Sima Yu had bullied him so much before?
