The moment Liu Tan started crying, he felt something was wrong. How could he cry at such a serious moment?

However, the moment he saw Liu Che, he really... couldn't help it.

He has been sleeping much less recently and has a hard time falling asleep at night, fearing that something might happen if he falls asleep and he won't have time to deal with it, missing the best opportunity.

When he was in Chang'an, he was worried about the rebels; when he came out, he was worried about the Baiyue; when he finally went out to sea, he was worried that God would not give him face. During these processes, every decision he made was difficult.

Those things are not as simple as one plus one equals two, nor are they black or white. He doesn't even know what will happen after making one of the choices.

He has never been able to look ten steps ahead before taking one step. It is considered amazing that he can look three steps ahead before taking one step.

At best, his mental age is less than 30 years old. Who would shoulder the fate of the world at the age of 30?

Yes, Liu Che succeeded to the throne when he was young, but the problem was that Emperor Jing was also ill at that time, and then he began to pave the way for Liu Che, giving Liu Che enough time to hand over and prepare mentally.

What's more, if Liu Tan had the qualifications of Liu Che, what would be the point of Liu Ju now?

The smile on Liu Che's face froze, and after a long time his son showed no sign of stopping.

For a moment, Liu Che felt a little flustered. He had never seen Liu Tan cry like this before. No, he had never seen Liu Tan cry before.

It seemed that no matter what difficulties his son encountered, he could solve the problem with a smile, and it seemed that nothing could ever stump him.

And no matter how timid and fawning Liu Tan was in front of him in private, he maintained the royal dignity very well in public.

Now he can't even care about these things. How much injustice has he suffered?

Liu Che walked over, held his son in his arms, patted his shoulder, and said in a very unnatural way, "What's the matter? Didn't you see it?"

God knows that in his life, Liu Che had coaxed his mother, his wife who was made to cry by him, his concubine who was crying out of grievance, and even his crying daughter, but he had never coaxed his crying son.

The main reason is that no son would cry in front of him. It is impossible when they grow up. When they are young, even if they cry, their mother or other servants will comfort them. How can they trouble the emperor?

Liu Tan had long felt a little embarrassed, but since he had already cried, he might as well cry his heart out. When Liu Che came over to hug him, he said aggrievedly, "Why are you looking for an immortal for no reason? The Crown Prince almost died, and you were not there. Chang'an City was almost broken, and you still didn't come!"

Liu Che originally thought that Liu Tan had been wronged on the way to find him, and that he was frightened and worried. When he heard him say this, his face couldn't help but become serious: "What's the matter? What happened in the capital?"

Liu Tan wiped his tears and sobbed, "A lot of things happened back then!"

Liu Che took his son in his arms and walked towards the central tent: "Come, explain it to me clearly."

Liu Tan followed him all the way back to the middle tent. Bu Fan cleverly asked someone to fetch some water and wrung out a handkerchief and handed it to him.

Liu Tan took it, wiped his face, and said, "When you're not here, all kinds of monsters and demons will jump out!"

Liu Che put his arm around Liu Tan's shoulders and felt that there was almost only bone left under his palm. He began to feel a little distressed.

"Who is being dishonest again?"

Liu Tan concluded: "Three kings, four marquises, and one prime minister."

The words were concise and to the point, but they were enough to make Liu Che's forehead jump: "Explain it more clearly."

Liu Tan recounted the whole story. When he heard that Liu Ju was poisoned, the expression on his face was almost gloomy. This was also the first time that he had no dissatisfaction with Chen Ajiao killing his favorite concubine, and he even cheered in his heart.

In that situation, what was needed was a quick and decisive solution.

Only when he heard that Chen Ajiao and Madam Wei had used all their money to supply military rations and defend Chang'an did his expression ease a little.

It must be said that the fact that Chang'an was able to hold out until Liu Tan brought his troops here had a lot to do with Chen Ajiao's decisiveness. Otherwise, Chang'an without its defenders would have been just a prosperous treasure house that anyone could rob.

Because it is time to narrate, Liu Tan can completely insert what Liu Qumao did in the process.

Liu Che was not surprised after hearing this. He had known for a long time that Liu Quma was wrong, but he did not want his son to be too deeply involved. By the way, he also wanted Liu Quma to take the blame for some things, so he kept him.

Originally, he planned to start taking action against Liu Qumao after returning from the Northern Border Kingdom.

The reason why he stayed out for so long was to expose Liu Qumao more so that Liu Che could catch him in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, an accident happened.

When he heard that Prince Guangchuan and Prince Zhongshan had jumped out, he sneered, "What a clown."

Now all the princes have been reduced to pieces by him. The fief of King Guangchuan is average, and the territory of King Zhongshan can be regarded as the smallest among the princes. Who made him have so many sons?

What would happen even if these two people rebelled?

It would be worse if the four marquises united together.

However, even the Four Marquises were not taken seriously by Liu Che.

But when he thought about how his family had been frightened for a long time and how the prince, whom he had trained for nearly thirty years, almost died, Liu Che's face really looked like the King of Hell walking out of the underworld.

Originally, Liu Tan used many adjectives when narrating, not to exaggerate, but mainly to make Liu Che realize how dangerous this matter was, so that he would not have time to go out to sea to search for immortals next time!

However, as Liu Che's expression became more and more terrifying, Liu Tan couldn't help but start telling his story in the simplest language.

The result is that he first tries hard to describe how dangerous Chang'an City is, how dangerous the prince is, and how sensible the Queen and Madam Wei are. But when he appears on the stage, the story becomes straightforward and there is no intention of taking credit at all.

After hearing this, Liu Che felt somewhat helpless. How could his son be so honest? Fortunately, he knew Liu Tan to some extent and knew that the incident that could drive him to tears when he saw his own father must be very serious. He didn't know how he had endured these days.

Otherwise, no one would realize that he was only twenty years old.

If he hadn't protected his son, he would have been bullied and would have been unable to refute himself.

The more Liu Che thought about it, the more distressed he felt. He touched Liu Tan's head and said, "How is Chang'an now?"

Liu Tan said, "The Crown Prince is almost fully recovered, but he just needs to rest. The doctor said he shouldn't overwork himself. However, we have heard about you, but we can't contact you. We don't know if you are doing well here, and if you have enough food, clothing, and other necessities. So, I have no choice but to bring people out to look for you."

Liu Tan emphasized, "We'd better leave quickly. This place is too far from the Han Dynasty. Even if we wipe out all the natives here, it will be difficult to govern. If you like, you can support a puppet and have people come here every year to collect taxes or something."

In short, politics is difficult to strictly control, so we can only let them govern themselves.

As for collecting taxes... to be honest, it's not that simple. If you start from Qi, whether you can find Luzon Island is one thing, and even if you can find it, whether there will be any problems due to the long distance is another.

As for leaving through Xuwen... the Han Dynasty must first take over Jiaozhi.

Anyway, this is not something that can be resolved in a short time. He came here mainly to persuade Liu Che not to fight to the death with the natives here. Let them fend for themselves since they have all run into the woods. There are still many things in the Han Dynasty waiting for him to deal with!

Liu Che was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "These natives stole my tiger talisman. I must get it back."
