Time Travel: The Useless Prince, First Destroy the Princess

Chapter 60 True feelings revealed

"Why did Dong Daqiang want to assassinate you?"

Liu Yan guessed that Dong Xian was indeed unaware of the situation.

Otherwise, based on his understanding of Dong Xian, it would be impossible for him to let Dong Daqiang go.

"I don't know!"

Liu Zhao didn't dare to talk nonsense.

"What a strange thing!"

Liu Yan was thinking about various possibilities in his mind!

King of Zhenbei?

Impossible, the Prince of Zhenbei really wanted Prince Song to inherit the throne.

If he wants to use force, his target will be himself, and it will not be of much value to target his son.

If Liu Zhao was killed, not only would he not be able to seize the inheritance rights, it would only make him more cautious.

He can't be that stupid!

King of Song?

He wouldn't do this without the King of Zhenbei's nod!

My younger brother is very smart!

Other kings?

It is impossible. The kings who oppose him only follow the lead of King Zhenbei and will not act on their own.

What's more, why not find a eunuch?

Sima Bei and Sima Yu, father and daughter?

That's even more impossible!

If Liu Zhao is killed, Sima Yu will lose her position as Crown Princess and become worthless, and Sima Bei's position as father-in-law will also be over!

He wouldn't be that stupid!

So who could it be?

The prince just started to behave normally, so we have to deal with him?

Who benefits most?

Liu Yan really couldn't figure it out.

Thinking of Sima Yu, he suddenly had an idea and wanted to see how his son treated Sima Yu.

"The Crown Princess has gone to Jinyuan City, so you really should have someone to serve you in the East Palace!"

Liu Zhao is still young, so of course he has needs in that area.

Although Sima Yu was a bit fierce, she was the principal wife after all.

If my son thinks it's okay, then it would be nice to let the Crown Princess come back!

"Thank you for your concern, father! I am reading Buddhist scriptures alone in the East Palace and don't want to be disturbed!" Liu Zhao's heart sank when he heard him mention Sima Yu.

Don’t let Sima Yu come back to the Eastern Palace!

Direct rejection in words.

Liu Yan naturally understood.

"Do you know how the Crown Princess treated you in the past?"

Liu Yan asked tentatively.

"I know!"

"Tell the truth to Father, don't you miss the Crown Princess at all?"

Although he had already guessed it in his heart, Liu Yan still hoped that Liu Zhao would say it himself.

"Yes, Father! I don't want to!"

At this time, your attitude must be firm and decisive, and you cannot procrastinate.

"Well, if you don't like the Crown Princess so much, father won't force you!" Liu Yan nodded.

How could a normal man like such a fierce woman?

Wasn't there nothing that could be done about his stupidity in the past?

Otherwise, how could a marriage arranged by finger-pointing restrict the emperor's choice?

"The Queen and I also plan to find a Crown Prince Consort for you. Did you hear that day?"

"I heard it!"

"But Wei Huan doesn't like the old you. Are you prepared?"

"Have!"

Liu Zhao nodded.

"Father has never seen his daughter, but I heard she's both beautiful and talented, so she should be suitable to be the Crown Prince's concubine!"

As long as Liu Zhi takes a fancy to Wei Huan's daughter and thinks it's feasible, and as long as she is not married yet, it's just a matter of a word.

So in his heart, Liu Yan had already tacitly accepted that Wei Huan's daughter was his son's crown prince's concubine.

"Yes, I will obey you, Father!"

"Alas! You don't have to listen to me completely. You will have to rule the country from now on. If you are the emperor of the Great Jing Dynasty and obey me in everything, how can you manage those ministers? How can you rule the world?"

At this time, Liu Yan was completely like an old father, giving his youngest son earnest instructions.

"Father, I, your son, do not want to be the emperor. As long as you are the emperor, I will be happy. I only want to be your son!"

Liu Zhao's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

These few words of advice are as earnest and heartfelt as what my father told me before he died in modern society.

At that time, my father held my hand and told me to work hard, be honest, not to pursue too much fame and wealth, and to protect myself.

But I was young at that time and couldn’t understand what my father said.

After several decades, I gradually understood, but there was no turning back.

At this moment, I thought of my real modern father, his words were still ringing in my ears, and my eyes became moist unconsciously.

Liu Yan saw this and knew that Liu Zhao was not lying, and he couldn't help but feel moved.

"Being the emperor is your responsibility, and it is also the responsibility of the world. With your words, father will be relieved!"

Even a father, as long as he is an emperor, is afraid that his son will seize his throne.

The same goes for Liu Yan.

The only difference between him and many emperors was that Liu Yan had only one son.

There is no other choice.

"I called you here today because I have something else to tell you!"

"Yes, Father, please speak!"

Liu Zhao kept calling the emperor "father", expressing his true feelings, and Liu Yan felt very happy.

"It's good for you to read scriptures in the palace, but just reading is too boring!"

"Yes, Father!"

Liu Zhao didn't know what Liu Yan meant!

"I heard in the Buddhist scriptures that all living things suffer. Did you know that?"

"Son, I don't know!"

Why are you talking to me about Buddhist scriptures?

In fact, Liu Yan had only heard about it from Zhang Hong and didn't know much about it himself.

"So, do you want to know?"

"My son, I want to!"

"If you want to go, that's great. I'm just going to let you go out and see the suffering of the people!"

"Me, go out for a walk?" Liu Zhao was very surprised that this idea coincided with his own.

"Yes, don't you want to?"

Seeing Liu Zhao's somewhat surprised reaction, Liu Yan was not surprised.

Having been spoiled since childhood and never truly experiencing the various aspects of life in society, of course he would feel resistance.

"Your son will obey the will of the emperor!" Liu Zhao said this, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

But I don’t know where to go?

"Very good!" Liu Yan was very satisfied. "Then take the Buddhist scriptures with you! Read them often! While reading, understand the meaning of suffering in all living things, and come back to tell me about it!"

"Yes, I will remember it!" Liu Zhao agreed to everything he said.

"Then go back and prepare, and you'll be out in a few days!"

There was no need for Liu Yan to explain things in too much detail. What he could think of, Song Xian would definitely think of as well.

"Yes, Father!" Liu Zhao nodded. "I have something to report to you, Father. Please make your decision!"

"Tang Dan told me that the monk who copied the Zhenghui Dharma Sutra is outside the palace and wants to see me. I don't know whether I should go. Please give me some advice, father!"

"Shili wants to see you?" Liu Yan remembered the monk's name.

"Yes, Father!"

Liu Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Why did he meet you? Now? In Luojing?"

"Tang Dan said that the monk said I have a connection with Buddha, so he wanted to meet me!"

"That's right!" Liu Yan nodded. "Very good! Go ahead!"

"Thank you, father!" Liu Zhao didn't expect Liu Yan to be so easy to talk to.

"Go ahead! Take this with you!" Liu Yan was very happy. There was no problem at all with his son's speech, expression, or even thinking.

Going out of the palace to see the monk is also a good thing!

So take out a gold medal.

Liu Zhao hurriedly ran over and knelt down to catch it.

This is the legendary “as if I were here in person”!

The imperial sword!

With Tang Dan here, safety is naturally guaranteed.

Liu Yan was still very relieved!

What's more, there is Ma Zhuang, whom he personally appointed. Although his rank is not as high as Tang Dan's, because he was promoted by the emperor himself, Tang Dan, with his intelligence, would never dare to have any other ideas that would be detrimental to the prince.

But Liu Yan still gave him a gold medal just in case.

Taking this opportunity, perhaps I can find out who is the person who intends to harm my son?

"Go!" Liu Yan was certainly not like other people's parents who gave countless instructions before going out.

Totally unnecessary.

"Yes, father!" Liu Zhao stood up and kowtowed a few more times before leaving.
