Because Liu Tan's previous explanations were so clear and insightful, Liu Ju subconsciously thought that Liu Tan must have calculated when Liu Qumao would take action, so he brought his men to the scene on time to wipe him out. But... did he just happen to arrive there by chance?

Liu Tan said, "I was thinking that the longer the night, the more trouble I'd have. If I really had to wait for him to make a move, I didn't know how long it would take. Besides, there were so many things I had to deal with. I couldn't keep an eye on him all the time. There were so many court affairs piled up, and His Highness also had his own affairs to attend to, so how could I afford to be distracted? So I wanted to arrest him quickly. After all, there must be evidence in his mansion. Once we find it, we can say we've already found him. Well, even if the order isn't right, the result is fine!"

Liu Ju looked at Liu Tan expressionlessly and began to wonder if his brother could not be saved.

No, no, no, he thought it was good that his brother didn't meet someone like Liu Qumao, so... the matter of educating his brother should be left to his father.

While the two brothers were discussing this, Du Zhou had already opened fire and interrogated the captured people.

He also felt a little ashamed. The correct procedure was for him to interrogate the person, obtain evidence, and then have His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Territory come and arrest him. However, he didn't expect that he didn't achieve any results.

Nowadays, he doesn't actually need to interrogate too much. As long as the other party confesses, the case can be closed.

But Du Zhou wanted to dig out something deeper, such as what the relationship was between Liu Qumao and the descendants of the Zhao family, and whether he had secretly sent the descendants of the Zhao family into the palace.

Although the descendants of the Zhao family entered the palace earlier than Liu Qumao became prime minister, it is difficult to obtain real and effective information if one has been in the palace for a short time. But the problem is that Liu Qumao did not become prime minister as soon as he entered the government, and it is unknown how many such activities he secretly did by relying on his status as a royal family member.

Du Zhou worked for two whole days and two nights before he sorted everything out.

At first, Liu Qumao insisted that he was wronged and said that it was the King of the Northern Territory who framed him.

In the previous haste, Liu Qumao only thought that the news had leaked out, causing Liu Tan to come to him.

It was not until he was thrown into the Sky Prison that he realized that something was wrong. He had not even told his own son about his plan. Everyone thought that he was going to support King Changyi to ascend to the throne and had never thought about him at all. It was only when he was about to start the rebellion that night that he told his son and followers, ensuring that they could take action immediately after telling him and that no information would be leaked.

Therefore, it is impossible for His Royal Highness the King of the North to know the truth in advance.

It has to be said that to some extent Liu Qumao's thought process may be very similar to Liu Tan's. His first reaction was that Liu Tan had no evidence at all at the time, and he simply had no patience.

So he was still holding on to it, but what was the point of him holding on? His followers and even his son couldn't resist and admitted it one after another.

At this time, it cannot be said that those people were afraid of death, but Du Zhou's methods were too cruel. They would rather be sentenced to be beheaded in the next second than suffer in such piecemeal ways.

Liu Qumao finally couldn't bear it anymore and admitted that he had rebelled, but he refused to talk about his relationship with the remnants of the Zhao family.

Du Zhou checked all the information before he found out that Liu Qumao's mother's surname was Zhao. After further investigation, he found that she was a descendant of the Zhao family.

Liu Sheng was a lustful man throughout his life, and he had slept with countless women. The incident with Liu Qumao was the result of a one-night stand. How could he have cared about the identities and origins of these women?

However, Liu Qumao had never thought of doing anything for the descendants of the Zhao family. He and the descendants of the Zhao family were just using each other. The descendants of the Zhao family wanted to help him ascend to the throne and restore the family at the same time. Liu Qumao was just an unpopular bastard back then and couldn't even compete for a title. Now a group of people suddenly appeared to help him. How could he refuse?

After questioning for a long time, Du Zhou finally came to this conclusion and could only go and report unwillingly.

In fact, since Liu Qumao was imprisoned, neither Liu Ju nor Liu Tan paid much attention to this matter.

Liu Tan withdrew his elite troops, Wei Buyi brought back the King of Changyi, and Wei Kang brought back the King of Zhongshan.

When these two people entered the capital, they were still clamoring to see the prince - they did not say they wanted to see the King of the North. In their eyes, the King of the North was simply a cold-hearted and heartless person who did not care about family affection at all. Rumor has it that the prince was a gentle and honest good man, so they planned to start with the prince.

But after hearing this, the people they thought were good people said coldly: "Lock them in the cell next to Liu Qumao, and deal with them when the emperor returns."

Then Liu Ju turned to Liu Tan and said, "Have you prepared all the herbs? The elite group you brought is too few. Bring more people, even if we can use them to build ships later."

Liu Tan had been nagging about this for days, and it was really overwhelming. "Okay, okay, I know, I know. Let me take another look."

Liu Tan looked at the prepared list, part of which included some food they were taking with them on the trip.

This raises a question: should they eat local food?

As the weather gets hotter, many foods are difficult to store. If you really want to bring food, you must bring those that are easier to store, such as pickled foods.

However, everyone around the Northern King knew about his habit of liking fresh ingredients, so everyone was almost in a dilemma about this.

After learning about this, Liu Ju said, "What's there to worry about? I'll send someone to deliver it to you when the time comes!"

The manager who came to report was dumbfounded. Was it because they were supposed to deliver the food after they finished eating? The timing had to be perfect for the food to be delivered, otherwise there would be a shortage of food. Of course, this would require a lot of manpower and resources.

Liu Tan was sitting next to Liu Que when he said this. He couldn't stand it any longer. "Alright, alright. Is it really necessary to mobilize so many troops? There's no shortage of fresh food in the south. But we need to think about it before going out to sea."

From the founding of the Han Dynasty to the present day, no, from now until the beginning of human writing, there has been no record of anyone sailing on the sea for such a long time. Even if the overall route is long, there will usually be many supply island ports in the middle.

Liu Che was the first person to pioneer history by drifting there, and Liu Tan is now sailing there with a purpose, which can also be regarded as a pioneering history.

Then no one knows how long it will take to sail on the sea.

Liu Tan remembers that the thing he feared most when sailing at sea for a long time was scurvy. This disease was caused by a lack of vitamins. In other words, if he did not eat fresh vegetables and fruits for a long time at sea, it would easily cause this disease.

Liu Che has been away for a long time. Now it has been two months since Liu Che went to sea. Liu Tan is not sure whether there will be any consequences due to lack of food and clothing for two months. Now he only hopes that Luzon Island is rich in resources and can provide Liu Che with sufficient supplies.

But he still needs to be prepared, what if he doesn't have it?

So how to bring the fruit over became a problem.

Liu Tan simply ordered people to find sand, then turned around and emptied his porcelain kiln and asked people to start blowing glass bottles - the most convenient thing should be cans.
