For the old Liu's family, it seemed that brother killing was not a strange thing, and Liu Tan was just surprised that Liu Zhen was so impatient.

However, as far as Liu Zhen was concerned, he had been waiting for this opportunity for too long. At the beginning when he was promoted to lose his title, it was Liu Quyu who contributed to the flames. Liu Zhen's hatred for Liu Qusha was really irreconcilable.

After Liu Tan was surprised, he asked, "Liu Quyu...why did he associate with Yanqi?"

Liu Zhen said: "This minister doesn't know, but Yichen understands him probably because it's the safest way."

Liu Tan repeated: "Sure?"

Liu Zhen nodded and said, "That's right. Yanqi is a staunch supporter of the Xiongnu. Liu Quyao may have communicated with the Xiongnu only through Yanqi. In this way, even if he is caught, it is only him communicating with Yanqi, which is not a serious crime."

The relationship between the big Han and Yanqi is relatively normal. Yanqi is close to the Xiongnu, but no matter how close he is, he will not have nothing to do to tease the big Han. Therefore, as long as there is no conflict on weekdays, Yanqi and the big Han are still very friendly.

Liu Tan was a little surprised: "Why did he have contacts with the Huns? What does the Huns value that he values?"

Liu Zhen said: "Your Highness should know that he was transformed from a commoner of the royal family to the prefect of Zhuo County, right?"

Royal common people... This title is somewhat interesting, probably because people with royal blood are reduced to commoners but are not reconciled, so they gave themselves such a special title.

But this title seems to have no other purpose other than to show that these people have royal blood in them.

Liu Tan turned his attention to the main business and asked, "Yes, he didn't seem to have any official position before that, so it's a bit strange that he directly became the governor of Zhuo County."

Liu Tan originally thought that Liu Che was going to promote his family, so he didn't pay much attention to this matter before, but now he suddenly heard Liu Zhen mentioning this matter, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Liu Zhen said with a cold look in his eyes: "Liu Quyao once traveled around, and when he arrived in Zhuojun, he met the Huns. He stayed there for several years, and then the Huns went south to plunder, broke through Shanggu County, and arrived in Zhuojun. It was he who turned the tide in the county, defended Zhuojun, and arranged Zhuojun in an orderly manner after the Huns retreated."

Liu Tan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this: "You mean...he colluded with the Huns?"

Liu Zhen didn't answer but asked rhetorically: "When I came here, I learned that Shanggu County had just been plundered, and the speed of the Huns was very fast. Your Highness, why can they have such a speed?"

Liu Tan frowned: "You mean because the Huns are familiar enough with the area of ​​Shanggu County."

Liu Zhen nodded and said: "That should be the case. Anyway, since then Liu Qushou has replaced the governor of Zhuojun County who died defending the city and became the new governor, and then he has risen all the way to become the current prime minister."

Liu Tan clasped the case with his hands unhurriedly and said, "Are these your guesses or do you have evidence?"

Although Liu Tan didn't get along with Liu Quyao, the reason for that was because of interests. Liu Quyao's wanting the King of Changyi to be the prince had actually violated the interests of most people, and it wasn't just that he had a grudge against him.

The crime of colluding with the Huns is too great. If there is no conclusive evidence, Liu Tan would not want to doubt Liu Quyao so much.

He also wanted to quickly get Liu Quyao down and not find him a job, but that didn't mean he would use methods without a bottom line.

Once everyone finds out that if you want to clean up political enemies, you can achieve your goal by simply labeling yourself as an internal and external enemy. I am afraid that many people will slander them out of thin air, just like when cruel officials ran rampant and courtiers attacked and slandered each other.

At least not from Liu Tan.

Liu Zhen suddenly stood up and saluted Liu Tan and said, "I'm guilty, and I have selfish intentions. Originally, even if His Highness disagrees, I will go to Yiwulu County, and I will fight for it, because I came here to find evidence that Liu Quyu colluded with the Huns!"

Liu Tan raised his eyes and looked at him: "Is it searching or creating?"

Liu Zhen was shocked for a moment, met Liu Tan's plain gaze, and said after a long silence, "It's all up to His Highness's orders."

Liu Tan sighed slightly and said: "I understand what you mean, but I still want to remind you that you finally got such an opportunity, revenge is indeed important, but don't lose the big because of the small, Liu Quyu... He has done many injustices, if he really did such a thing, without you taking action, I will not be able to spare him."

Liu Tan vaguely understood Liu Che's intention for letting Liu Zhen come over, presumably to let him find Liu Quyao's excuse, anyone else would not be as serious and motivated as Liu Zhen.

However, what did Liu Quyao do to make Liu Che bother him so much?

Although Liu Che's prime minister is indeed a consumable, it is not consumed in this way. In the past, he would kill himself at most, but now this is the rhythm of killing his whole family.

It's really fortunate that Liu Quyao is from the royal family, even if he is accused of treason, he will not be punished by the nine clans. No wonder Liu Zhen is so energetic.

After listening to Liu Tan's advice, Liu Zhen was slightly taken aback. He took a deep breath and said, "I understand, Your Highness, please rest assured."

Liu Tan pressed his hand and said, "Come on, sit down, this is not the most important thing."

Liu Zhen was stunned for a moment, and looked at Liu Tan with some puzzlement.

Liu Tan glanced at him and said: "I have worked so hard and sacrificed so many soldiers to take down Yiwulu County. It was not for Liu Qusao's use. I want to turn it into a gateway for the great man to the outside world, and become the Western Region. The most prosperous pearl in the world, understand?"

Liu Quyu seemed a little dazed, and Liu Tan knew that although the other party listened to what he just said, he didn't really pay much attention to it.

Liu Tan had no choice but to say: "A good man always has to make a career. You only think about revenge. What about after revenge? If I were you, I would regard Liu Quyao as a target. He can be the prime minister, why can't you? If one day Instead, the two of you exchanged identities, wouldn't it be more enjoyable?"

Liu Zhen stared at Liu Tan with wide eyes, Liu Tan smiled and said: "If you want to be the prime minister, you should start from this county guard. Now Yiwulu County has not been built, and the blueprint is still being designed. You don't have to go there for the time being." , I guess we have to wait until the New Year is over, I have already arranged a residence for you, and you can bring your family over if you want."

Liu Zhen immediately said gratefully: "Your Majesty's words are tantamount to enlightenment, I will remember it!"

That's about it, Liu Tan finally added a sentence: "Although the Duhu Mansion and the Captain's Mansion are not under your jurisdiction, you can also take this opportunity to learn about the surrounding situation. If those countries are really dishonest , you don’t have to swallow your anger, to tell you the truth, I never suffer as a person.”

Liu Zhen couldn't help but feel a little funny when she heard this, and thought that she was really a child, and she was happy to be grateful.

But at the same time, he was a little envious of Liu Tan. Everyone thought it was the naivete of children, and adults should always be more tactful.

But in fact, being sleek is just to make oneself less vulnerable to attack. To put it bluntly, it just doesn't have that strength.

However, the King of the Northern Realm has that strength, who would not envy him?

Having said that, it basically came to an end. Liu Tan asked Liu Zhen to take a look at his new house.

The little eunuch who led the way for Liu Zhen was also very respectful to him. Liu Zhen had been a commoner for many years, and he could see through the warmth and coldness of the world. After entering the country, he felt as if he had returned to the same place as before, but he knew very well that he did not have such a status, so he was very flattered.

The little eunuch introduced to him: "Your house happens to be in the Buzhengfang, and the Chuzhengfang next to it is the residence of the Prime Minister and several other important officials. The Buzhengfang is the residence of Wei Dengwei Wuhou and Li Ling Li Xiaowei. .”

When Liu Zhen came here, she knew the situation of Shuofang City, and knew that these two lifangs were the places specially reserved by the King of the Northern Territory for the valuable ministers to give them mansions.

He seemed to inadvertently asked: "I don't know where the new Zhang County Sheriff lives?"

The little eunuch smiled and said: "This... Ordinary county guards have to buy their own residences in the capital. After all, they don't manage the capital, so it's a waste to leave the house alone."

As soon as Liu Zhen heard it, she understood that he was being treated preferentially, and it was probably Liu Tan's special order.

After experiencing the warmth and coldness of human relationships, you will be more grateful to those who treat you well.

After Liu Zhen went back, she thought about it half the night, and felt that the king of the north was right. He had indeed got the essence of the matter wrong.

At the same time, I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. I lived a long life in vain, but in the end, no young man under the age of 20 could see clearly.

Thinking of Liu Tan's calmness and momentum that didn't match his age when he was talking to him, Liu Zhen couldn't help but feel that his career is probably a man's greatest confidence.

However, the King of the Northern Realm, whom he considered to be calm and stable, was clapping his hands on the table and shouting: "You called me Gongshuyi, what do you mean by drawing the blueprint in such a ghostly way?"
