Chapter 137 Why was Wei Jin chosen as the Crown Prince’s concubine?
"Yes, Father!"
"Some things, when you are young, making mistakes is also experience. If you don't make mistakes, you can't learn from them!"
Liu Yan saw it very clearly.
How is it possible for people not to make mistakes?
Only by knowing your mistakes and correcting them can you continuously improve your own shortcomings.
"Yes, Father, I will definitely act boldly!"
"It's not difficult to hold onto power, but it's truly not easy to manage it and ensure peace and prosperity for the people! If only God would give me a few more years so you can gain more experience, I wouldn't be so worried!"
Liu Yan sighed.
I always have a premonition that my time is running out.
"Father, you will surely live a long life. If you become emperor, the country will be peaceful and the people will have enough food and clothing. God will bless you!"
"Haha, son! How many times have you been out? Do you see a peaceful and prosperous country with plenty of food and clothing?"
Liu Yan smiled bitterly.
"Your Majesty, I do see that some people's lives are not as they wish, but given time, they will surely have enough food and clothing!"
Liu Zhao used his brain to defend himself.
"Throughout history, how many emperors have wanted others to sing their praises!"
Liu Yan sighed.
"In fact, I know in my heart that it has only been a few years since the end of this century of war. The people have had very little time to rest. How can they have enough food and clothing?"
Liu Zhao didn't dare to speak anymore.
"Father, I hope you truly understand the difficulties faced by the people. If you sit on this throne one day, you can think of the people and do what you can to ensure that the people have enough food and clothing, not just enough to eat and wear. That would be a good emperor!"
"Your Majesty, you are so far-sighted. I wonder when I will be able to think as thoroughly as you do!"
"Experience comes from experience. You won't gain much experience just sitting in the palace, so I want you to go out and see the world!"
"Thank you, Father!"
Liu Zhao said this, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
When King Song and his men rebelled, they must have been well prepared.
Even if Liu Yan seems to have everything planned out, what if he missed something?
But there is nothing I can do now, I can only wait and see.
"By the way, yesterday I asked Zhang Hong to go to the Beiyang Duke's house to arrange a marriage. Once the disaster relief is completed, I will start planning your marriage!"
"Yes, Father!"
Liu Zhao didn't dare to say anything.
It seems that Liu Yan is completely unaware that he likes Deng Yi outside.
Let's keep it a secret for now. Although I'm sure Liu Yan won't be angry, it's really unacceptable to pick up girls during disaster relief.
"Wei Jin is gentle and virtuous, just like your mother's character!" Liu Yan sighed.
"Yes, Father!"
Liu Zhao had an impression of Liu Xing in his mind, but due to his limited IQ at that time, the impression was not particularly deep.
"Duke Beiyang has always followed me, from south to north, conquering the east and the west, always loyal and without many ulterior motives!"
Liu Yan looked into Liu Zhao's eyes.
Liu Zhao nodded slightly and said, "I know!"
"If I didn't have this kind of personality and temper, I wouldn't have said such a pity at the banquet! Do you know why I not only don't blame him, but also let you marry his daughter as the Crown Prince's concubine?"
"Son, I'm not sure!"
Liu Zhao thought about various possibilities in his mind.
"Wei Jin is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and is also gentle, respectful, and frugal. She is the perfect choice for the Crown Prince's concubine! With her help, you can be free from many worries!"
"Yes, Father!"
Liu Zhao immediately thought that Deng Yi was also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting!
But where is she?
Liu Yan continued, "But this is not the most important thing. After all, among the daughters of high-ranking officials in the Luojing court, there are people like Wei Jin!"
"Father, do you mean to say that there are other considerations?"
"Indeed, Duke Beiyang holds a high prestige in the army. Many generals were promoted by him back then! You understand this, don't you?"
"Your Majesty, I understand. Your Majesty wants me to have someone to rely on!"
Since ancient times, whoever holds military power has ruled the world.
But Duke Beiyang is not serving in the army now!
"Yes, if you ever become emperor, as long as he's around, no one will be able to rebel against you!"
"Father, but he's not serving in the army now, is he?"
Liu Zhao still asked bravely.
"Haha, you noticed it too!"
Liu Yan smiled.
"Yes, I really don't know!"
"Do you know that the current court has the King of Zhenbei, the King of Jingnan, and the King of Pingxi?"
"Of course I know this!"
"Have you ever wondered why there are north, south, and west, but no east?"
"Father, could it be Duke Beiyang?"
"Yes, Duke Beiyang is the King of the Eastern Expedition! Because the east is stable and free from external threats, after the establishment of our Jing Dynasty, the King of the Eastern Expedition's subordinates were stationed in Suzhou!"
"This, I don't quite understand!"
"These soldiers are scattered across the twelve counties. The generals serve as provincial governors and county magistrates, among other positions. Ordinary soldiers are farmers, cultivating the land, marrying and having children. However, they must inherit their father's business, do not pay taxes, and receive a certain salary. Once something happens, they become soldiers!"
"Father, you are a man of great foresight. I, your humble servant, am in no way inferior to you!"
Liu Zhao was somewhat shocked. In this era, Liu Yan could think of the method of military settlement to leave a way out for himself.
"If you don't plan for the future, you'll have immediate worries. Remember this! If anything happens, don't forget that those 200,000 people in Suzhou were promoted by Duke Beiyang!"
"Yes, I will keep it in mind!"
Liu Zhao felt much more relieved now.
With these 200,000 troops, even if the King of Zhenbei really rebels, we can still fight him on equal terms!
"But remember, unless absolutely necessary, these 200,000 troops cannot be moved without authorization. This is the last hope of the Great Jing Dynasty!"
"Yes, Father!"
Liu Zhao was really nervous because Liu Yan was able to found a country and his wisdom was far superior to his own.
Fortunately, I didn’t try to be clever, otherwise I wouldn’t even know how I died!
"It's getting late. You should get some rest early and go to Hongnong tomorrow. Yangcheng is too far away and the road is not safe. Don't go there!"
"Yes, Father!"
Liu Zhao knew very well that Liu Yan was also worried that something might happen to him!
It should be safer in Luojing!
After returning to the East Palace, I took a hot bath and wanted to have a good sleep, but my mind was full of Deng Yi's figure.
How can we find Deng Yi?
Going door to door won’t work!
We must find a way!
After racking my brains for a long time, I suddenly came up with a brilliant idea.
Sing!
During the evening of chatting with Deng Yi, Deng Yi learned to sing Love Song 1990.
Then I will sing this song everywhere tomorrow to let him know that I am looking for her!
Of course, I can’t sing it all by myself, so I spend money to train people to sing it everywhere.
You don't need to sing too much, just the last four lines.
I want the entire Luojing City to be filled with these lyrics. I don’t believe she can’t hear them.
As long as she still has feelings for me, then after hearing this song, she might come to find me!
Yes, that’s it!
The more Liu Zhao thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea, and he fell into a deep sleep for a while.
