"Your Majesty, this old servant has a plan." Zhao Zhong's eyes rolled.
Wasn't the First Prince Liu Zheng already an adult? According to the rules of the Imperial Court, if he couldn't be made Crown Prince now, he would have to be made a Prince. He would choose a place to be his fief and set off for it at a later date.
If we make a move and get the Emperor to agree to enfeoffing the First Prince Liu Zheng to a cold and bitter place on the border, especially a place where the Hu people are rampant, then we'll be able to get the Emperor to agree.
Even if the First Prince Liu Zheng was not killed by the Hu, he was far away from the Luoyang Imperial Court. He simply did not have the ability to compete with the Second Prince for the position of Crown Prince!”
Empress He thought for a moment and nodded.""This is a good idea!
However, if this kid was lucky enough to stay on the border and not be killed by the Hu, he would still have military power. Wouldn't that make things even more difficult?
BenGong can't wait to let this brat die a little earlier!
In the past few years, I've been led by the nose by this kid, it really makes me so angry!”
Zhao Zhong thought about it carefully and suddenly looked at Empress He with a mysterious smile on his face.
"This servant has thought of a way, but if I say it, the Empress might scold this servant…"
Empress He shook her head." Just say it. As long as this method works, BenGong will not scold you!"”
"Your Majesty, this servant originally wanted to use a honey trap to deal with the Eldest Prince Liu Zheng," Zhao Zhong said with a chuckle.
However, on second thought, the First Prince Liu Zheng had always been a person who indulged in wine and women. Ordinary beauties had no effect on him at all!
However, if Your Highness the Empress were to step out and say that the First Prince Liu Zheng is plotting against you, how could the Emperor tolerate it…"
Empress He blushed and said angrily,""What kind of stupid idea is this? No…"
"But this is the only method that can truly work." Zhao Zhong smiled bitterly.
Otherwise, sending people to assassinate and poison them might not work at all!
This was because the First Prince Liu Zheng had capable people by his side. Those people were not ordinary people, unless Cao Zhengchun was sent out!
However, Cao Zhengchun has always been loyal to His Majesty. He would never do such a thing…"
Zhao Zhong did not know that Cao Zhengchun was only loyal to the First Prince, Liu Zheng!
Empress He thought about it carefully and finally made up her mind."We'll do as you say!
Go and gather gold and cloth to give to the First Prince Liu Zheng. You can give him more, and then say that this is BenGong's intention.
According to etiquette, the First Prince Liu Zheng will enter the palace to thank this Queen. At that time, this Queen will not let him live until tomorrow!”
Zhao Zhong immediately gathered gold and cloth, twice as much as what was supposed to be given to Liu Zheng.
……
At this moment, in the courtyard of the First Prince Liu Zheng.
After Emperor Han Ling, Liu Hong, left with his convoy, Liu Zheng's subordinates looked at him nervously.
Just now, the Emperor had left in a huff, making them very worried.
If Tian Zi was angry, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Guan Yu, who had always been arrogant, couldn't help but say,""First Prince, in this humble one's opinion, Your Highness should beg for forgiveness from His Majesty!”
Taishi Ci couldn't help but say," Your Highness, it's unusual for the Son of Heaven to shed blood when he's angry. Your Highness, you'd better lower your head and admit your mistake!"”
Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Dian Wei, Le Jin, and the others also felt that the First Prince Liu Zheng should apologize to Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong.
After all, the First Prince had concealed his strength and bided his time in the past to disguise himself, so he was suspected of deceiving the emperor!
Xun Yu and Xun You didn't say anything. Their political vision and insight were much better than these generals.
They felt that Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong did not really blame the First Prince Liu Zheng. He was just showing his authority.
Liu Zheng knew that Guan Yu and Taishi Ci were not afraid of the imperial power, but were more worried about his own safety.
He smiled calmly." Don't worry, everyone. I understand my father. He's not really angry. He just wants to test me."
Moreover, not only will father not punish me, he might even send someone to send me gold and silk!”
Guan Yu, Taishi Ci, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Dian, and Wei Lejin all looked at each other. How was this possible?
Just now, the Emperor had clearly left in a rage. How could he not give any punishment and even send things?
Even Xun Yu and Xun You were puzzled.
The First Prince Liu Zheng had never been favored by the Emperor, so where did his confidence come from?
However, after a few hours, a convoy came from the palace.
He had brought a few boxes of gold and silk.
The leading eunuch was Empress He, Zhao Zhong, the chief steward of Long Autumn palace, and he said with a fake smile.
"Your Highness the First Prince, by the Emperor's orders, all the salary owed to Your Highness the First Prince has been paid!
In addition, the Empress felt that she hadn't cared enough for the First Prince, so she had given him some additional rewards!
There are a total of fifty thousand taels of gold and fifty thousand rolls of silk. Please kindly accept them, Your Highness!”
Liu Zheng's expression changed slightly. The compensation that the Emperor, Liu Hong, had given him was within his expectations. However, the reward that Empress He had given him was too unexpected!
What was Empress He up to?
