Time Travel: The Useless Prince, First Destroy the Princess

"However, Father also wants you to remember that your uncle is, after all, my brother from the same mother. As long as he behaves himself, you should not make things difficult for him!"

"Yes, Father!"

"Born in the royal family, there has been no family affection since ancient times, but recently I often dream about your grandmother!"

"Grandmother?" Liu Zhaoke had no impression at all.

"Although she has passed away, every time I think of the suffering she endured for me over the years, I am moved to tears!"

"Yes, Father!"

This made Liu Zhao suddenly think of his parents in modern times. Aren’t they also working hard for him?

"Your uncle and I were actually quite close when we were little. If your grandmother hadn't passed away so early, your uncle wouldn't have become what he is now!"

"Before she passed away, your grandmother grabbed my hand and told me that if your uncle makes a mistake in the future, I can beat him and punish him, but I can never kill him!"

"I promised your grandmother. Your uncle doesn't even know about this! Otherwise, I'm afraid he'll use this as leverage to blackmail me!"

"Today, I have to tell you this because I hope you'll remember this: as long as your uncle doesn't covet the throne, even if he plays games, is greedy, or acts tyrannically, you must not kill him!"

"Yes, Father!"

Liu Zhao really thinks Liu Yan is a good father, a good son, and a good brother!

The fact that he said these things to me so frankly was enough to show his true character!

"You are my only son, so there is no need for me to be suspicious of you. I also believe that you will not fool me, right?"

Liu Yan suddenly asked again.

"Father, I swear I will never do anything to let you down!"

Liu Zhao hurriedly expressed his opinion.

"I think so! That Buddha has great magical powers. He possessed your body and came to take my place. Maybe he knew that it was time for me too!"

Liu Yan let out a long sigh.

"Father, absolutely not. You are so young. At least, you can still be emperor for another fifty years. It won't be too late to pass the throne to me then. I would rather be your good son than be the emperor!"

Liu Zhao felt that his words came from the bottom of his heart, and he really needed Liu Yan's support at this time!

"I was just saying it casually, don't get excited! The throne was given by heaven, and how much destiny there is is up to heaven!"

"Father, since it is destiny, I believe that destiny means that you will remain emperor for another fifty years!"

"Forget it. Father is happy to hear you say that! But we still need to cut the Gordian knot as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Father!"

"Now, have you thought about the urgent matter that needs to be resolved right now?"

"Father, do you want to gain the trust of these ministers?" Liu Zhao asked tentatively.

"Wrong!" Liu Yan denied. "Whether it's the imperial court or the local government, these ministers, whether they are honest and capable or corrupt and evil, it's not easy to discipline them, but it's not difficult either!"

"I am worried and don't know how to govern!"

"You don't have to worry about those things now. Remember what I just told you. What you should deal with now is the Crown Princess's business!"

"Crown Princess?" Liu Zhao's heart trembled. Liu Yan asked him to come back. This was a big deal!

"Son, since the beginning of time, women have been strong and men have been weak, which is the reason for the corruption of the super-order!"

"Son, I don't quite understand!"

Liu Zhao certainly knew that the history he learned in high school and general history in college were not learned in vain.

"Women are impulsive and narrow-minded. Remember, as a commoner, it's okay to listen to a woman, but as a ruler, you must never listen to a woman!"

"Yes, Father, I will remember this!"

Liu Zhao had some doubts in his mind!

Then why do you believe your grandmother so much?

What about the words of Liu Zhao’s real mother Liu Xing mentioned earlier?

I thought about it in my heart, but I didn't dare to say a word.

"Before the emperor asked you to marry her, besides the ridiculous arranged marriage, he was also attracted by her toughness. With the support of the Duke of Qi, she could help you suppress the ministers and stabilize the government!"

"Now it seems that this woman is not only fierce, but also ridiculous!"

As Liu Yan spoke, his voice became much louder.

"Before, you were troubled by the bad karma of your past life and were ignorant of the ways of the world. That was unavoidable! Now that you have awakened, it is absurd for such a fierce woman to become the Crown Princess!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhao felt completely relieved!

She was still trying to find a way to deal with Sima Yu, but Liu Yan had already thought of dealing with her!

Isn’t that better!

Just as he was thinking about this, Liu Yan continued.

"You heard about the Crown Princess's promiscuity in Jinyuan City while you were outside!"

"Yes, Father, I also guess that it is Jinyuan City! The person who is talking about it is Concubine Sima!"

"Yes, I didn't expect this evil woman to be so fierce and savage, and so shameless and wanton. What do you think we should do?"

"Your son wants to depose her!" Liu Zhao no longer concealed it at this time.

Liu Yan asked this question at this time, which must have shown that he had made plans long ago!

"Why? Why not just grant death?"

Liu Yan asked back.

"Father, I'm thinking, after all, she is my Crown Princess! Besides, I'm afraid Duke Qi will!"

Liu Zhao had said half of it when Liu Yan definitely understood what he meant.

"This is another truth that Father wants to tell you today. As a ruler, you must never be soft-hearted! Go back and sit down!"

"Yes, father!" Liu Zhao quickly walked back and sat down.

What Liu Yan said really makes sense!

It’s also for your own sake!

However, there seem to be many contradictions between the two!

But fuck it!

This is not something to consider now!

"Could it be that Sima Yu has been sentenced to death?"

It suddenly occurred to me.

"Sima Bei, he is just your subject. You can consider his feelings or ignore them. I have shown him great kindness by not dying of shame for raising such a shameful daughter!"

It seems that Liu Yan's attitude towards Sima Bei at this time has become completely disgusted because of Sima Yu.

"Yes, I understand! I am not afraid of him!"

"The Emperor asked you to come back today because there is something he wants you to do in person!"

"Please enlighten me, Father!"

"You are to immediately go to Jinyuan City with Zhang Hong and Yang Ke. You will personally issue an order to execute the Crown Princess!"

"Ah? I'll go there myself?" Liu Zhao cried out from the bottom of his heart.

Liu Zhao felt a little nervous and his heart started beating fast.

Even though he had been so thick-skinned for decades, he couldn't help but feel nervous at this moment.

"What? Are you afraid?" Liu Yan asked in a deep voice.

"I dare you, I'll go right away!"

"Okay, go quickly and come back soon! Don't forget, the girl you like is still waiting for you!" Liu Yan nodded.

Liu Zhao turned and walked out.

Outside the door, Yang Ke and Zhang Hong had already made preparations and quickly rushed to Jinyuan City with dozens of people.

"That girl is still waiting for me? What does Liu Yan mean?"

Liu Zhao was thinking all the way.

It might be an instinctive reaction, but I suddenly felt that Liu Yan was really nice to me! What a true character!

Suddenly I felt that he seemed to be holding back, and there was a sense of threat in his words!

Are you overthinking it?
