Cao Zhengchun had already cultivated the Child Technique to the Perfection of Martial Arts and could be considered the number one expert in the palace!
Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong had once been saved by Cao Zhengchun, so he trusted Cao Zhengchun very much, even more than Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong!
"Your Majesty, these people are still young and have yet to reach their peak condition!" Cao Zhengchun smiled.
If they were able to reach their peak in the future, they would definitely be valiant generals who would be the top of the army. It was very difficult for the Imperial Army to have such valiant generals now!”
Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong's heart sank slightly. Such a fierce general had come to join the First Prince Liu Zheng and not me!
Cao Zhengchun could immediately tell what Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong was thinking.
"Your Majesty, the First Prince has a discerning eye for talents. It is Your Majesty's blessing to recruit talents to serve the country…" he hurriedly said with a smile.
Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong could not help but smile.
Cao Zhengchun's words were reasonable. No matter how brave these people were, they were still working for the First Prince, and they were also working for the First Prince!
He did not mind the First Prince Liu Zheng secretly recruiting these people!
After all, it was much better for these people to be used by the Imperial Family than by those aristocratic families!
Now, Emperor Han Ling, Liu Hong, was secretly observing his eldest son, the eldest prince, Liu Zheng!
He could vaguely see his appearance when he was young, but he was even more handsome!
Now, he did not look like a drunkard or a rich man. He was handsome, elegant, and noble. He did not look like a monarch like what people had said before!
Moreover, at this moment, the First Prince Liu Zheng's gaze was calm and composed, as if he could see what kind of oversight the two fierce generals in front of him had made!
Emperor Han Ling, Liu Hong, was now completely at ease.
I knew that my son would not be so useless!
This son was much better than the useless Liu Bian who was spoiled by Empress He!
Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, also noticed that even though those valiant generals had just arrived in the capital and had just joined the First Prince, Liu Zheng, they were extremely loyal to him. They looked at him with gratitude and worship!
It seemed that the First Prince Liu Zheng did not just use his identity as a prince to recruit these fierce generals. Instead, he used his personal charm and ability to obtain the support of these fierce generals!
Liu Hong, the Emperor of Han Ling, naturally did not know that he was having fun every night. His body had collapsed and he could only live for another five years at most!
He thought that he could still live like Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, at least 60 years old. Therefore, Emperor Han Ling Liu Hong did not care that the eldest prince Liu Zheng had such a strong appeal!
No matter how strong the prince was, he was still a young dragon. In front of him, the true dragon, he could only coil up and obediently listen to his orders!
Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong was filled with joy.
What was surprising was that the First Prince, Liu Zheng, was actually able to disguise himself like this. His ability to conceal his strength and bide his time was not inferior to his ancestor, Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu!
He was happy that the First Prince Liu Zheng had such charisma to recruit these fierce generals. Then, he could send the First Prince Liu Zheng to the border to gild his reputation, allowing him to rise up in the military world and grasp military power. He could stand on equal footing with the Great General He Jin, thus ensuring that his Little Prince Liu Xie would successfully inherit the throne in the future!
……
Liu Zheng did not know what Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong was planning.
If he knew, he would naturally scoff.
This cheap Imperial Father was truly delusional!
Not only did you not raise me, you even forced my mother, Empress Song, to die. Even if you were a normal father, I would never give up on you!
……
Guan Yu and Dian Wei fought for fifty to sixty rounds!
Dian Wei admitted defeat.”
Guan Yu and Guan Yunzhang liked Dian Wei's attitude very much. They stroked their mustaches and smiled.
"Brother, I see that your riding skills are not good. You have to practice more in the future!
If your horsemanship was as good as mine, we could have fought a few more rounds!”
Just as Liu Zheng was about to announce the result, Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong walked over from the side.
Other than Liu Zheng, no one else knew the Han Ling Emperor, Liu Hong.
After all, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hong, was not wearing a yellow robe. He was only wearing an ordinary official robe.
"Greetings, Imperial Father…" Liu Zheng stepped forward and bowed.
Only then did the others realize that this middle-aged man in his thirties was Liu Hong, the Emperor of Han Ling. They all knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Hong.
"Greetings, Emperor!"
"Why didn't Father inform me in advance so that I could come and pick you up…" Liu Zheng asked.
Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong said with a straight face,""If I had informed you in advance, how would I have known that my eldest prince had been lying to me…"
Guan Yu and the others were all worried. Previously, the prince had been keeping a low profile. What if His Majesty insisted on punishing the prince for deceiving the emperor?
However, Liu Zheng did not panic and said indifferently,"Your son doesn't quite understand what Imperial Father meant by the crime of deceiving the sovereign?
Imperial Father had never asked about your son's situation before!
Even if your son wanted to lie to the emperor, he didn't have the chance. How could he be guilty of lying to the emperor?”
Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, choked for a moment and was speechless.
Liu Zheng was right. He had never cared about the First Prince before and had never asked what the First Prince was busy with!
He had been told about the First Prince's absurd behavior by others, so it was true that he could not be considered the First Prince Liu Zheng's crime of deceiving the sovereign.
