After knowing the truth, Liu Tan felt that he could basically sit back and relax.
He had thought before that if all else failed, he might as well try metaphysics.
Anyway, Liu Che believed it. It was hard to say whether Chen Ajiao believed it or not, but it didn’t matter. Liu Che had the final say.
But I never expected that this marriage was caused by metaphysics!
For a moment, Liu Tan didn't know whether he should beat Jiang Chong violently.
Although he felt that this matter could be resolved without Jiang Chong and Madam Li, it was hard to say whether Chen Ajiao could get through it.
It is said that later Liu Che had come up with another solution - instead of deposing the empress, he could take away the empress's seal.
The queen's greatest power lies in the seal. How can the queen manage the harem without the seal? It's just a decoration.
Liu Tan sighed deeply and instantly became depressed. Seeing that, Liu Ju couldn't help but touch the back of his head and said, "Alright, I know you don't like women who are too powerful, but isn't that for your own good? After we get married, you can just take in whoever you like."
Liu Tan thought about it for a while before he realized that Gongsun Wuniang was chosen not only because she was the daughter of the prime minister, but more likely because she was a good fighter.
Thinking of this, Liu Tan became even more depressed: "I can't beat her!"
Liu Ju: ...
You're already thinking about fighting before you even get married? How can this be allowed?
Liu Ju had no choice but to say earnestly: "She is a lady from a noble family after all, she wouldn't be unreasonable, don't think that way."
Liu Tan glanced at Liu Ju, and the look of despair in his eyes made Liu Ju feel a little puzzled. It's just a marriage, is it that important?
That's too much.
Ever since Liu Tan realized that this was a dead end, he simply returned to his lazy state, and became even more lazy than before.
Even Emperor Liu Che couldn't stand it anymore and took Xianyu to the Weiyang Palace.
When Liu Tan went there, he was still wondering what was going on.
When he arrived at the Weiyang Palace, Liu Che looked at him without saying a word. After a long while, he said, "It seems the impact is still significant. Don't worry, I will have them arrange the wedding earlier."
Liu Tan: !!!!!!!!!
Isn't he just a little negative? Why is Liu Che so imaginative?
Liu Tan took a deep breath and said decisively: "No, I'm fine!"
Liu Che raised his eyebrows: "Very good? Very good. Why are you staying in your room? I heard that you rarely go to the Pepper Room?"
Liu Tanbujie didn't want to listen to Chen Ajiao telling him about the things to pay attention to after marriage!
Liu Tan said bitterly, "I am just... busy."
Liu Che didn't believe it at all: "What are you busy about? Tell me about it."
Liu Tan suddenly had an idea and said quickly, "It's about Si Nan."
"Sinan?" Liu Che was a little surprised and didn't understand why Liu Tan was still eyeing this thing.
Liu Tan then said, "Yes, Si Nan. When I met Li Xi earlier, I also saw the Si Nan cart. I thought it was too heavy and bulky, so I wanted to modify it."
Liu Che was now a little interested: "What has it changed to?"
Liu Che already knew Liu Tan very well. If he hadn't had some clues, or rather, if he hadn't figured it out, he wouldn't have spoken out.
Oh, except for the time when Grape was there to save Li Xi.
Liu Tan had no choice but to turn around and ask Miao Rui to get the compass that he had almost forgotten.
It's really not his fault. He originally planned to present this thing to Emperor Wu of Han when he returned to Chang'an. If Emperor Wu of Han was not satisfied, he would let him find someone to continue studying it.
But I never expected that I would be bombarded with all kinds of things as soon as I came back, and then I just put the matter behind me.
If he hadn't just been looking for an excuse, he probably wouldn't have remembered this thing.
Not long after, Miao Rui came over with a small round lacquer box in his hand.
When Liu Che saw the size of the box, he was a little surprised: "Is this what contains the Si Nan?"
Liu Tan nodded seriously. "Yes, the principle of the Sinan is very simple. I just made it more portable. However, it's not particularly good yet. I don't know how to proceed. Perhaps someone can continue to improve it."
Liu Che opened the lacquer box and found that the Si Nan inside was not only miniature but also very exquisite.
The outer shell is made of gold with dragon and phoenix patterns carved on it, and an extremely transparent crystal shell is inlaid in the middle. The dial inside has the words "east, south, west, north, and north" written on it, and there are even words such as "east, south, north, south, south, and north". In the middle is a sharp triangular pointer, and the front end of the pointer is painted red.
After Liu Che took it out, he found that the compass was pointing in the direction of the main entrance of the hall. The orientation of the Weiyang Palace was north and south, and the direction of the compass was exactly right.
Liu Che picked up the compass and found that it rotated very flexibly. He couldn't help but feel curious. After turning it in his hand for a long time, he found that the compass was very stubbornly pointing to the south.
He was like a child with a new toy, and even stood up and walked around, but no matter how he walked, the compass needle was accurate to the millimeter.
Liu Che was very curious. He held the compass hesitantly and wanted to take it apart to see why it was like that. However, he also took Liu Tan's thoughts into consideration. He felt that it would not be a good idea to take apart the compass after his son had worked so hard to make it.
So he simply asked: "How is this done?"
If it were someone else, he would probably ask if it was a gift from immortals.
But when it came to Liu Tan, he actually didn't think there was anything strange about it.
Liu Tan said, "This is the use of the magnet's distance..."
Liu Tan didn't dare to continue talking halfway, because when he talked about magnets, Liu Che's face, which had just been very happy, gradually became gloomy.
He was a little slow to react, oh, this was because Luan Da was hurt.
It's probably not appropriate to say that he was sad. It should be said that Luan Da had embarrassed him so much that Liu Che subconsciously didn't want to mention anything related to Luan Da.
Liu Tan quickly said, "It's actually the same principle as the Si Nan Cart, but the form has been changed a bit. This will be much more convenient, especially when envoys are on missions. They can't carry the Si Nan Cart with them, and it's easy for them to take detours. With this, combined with a map, it should be much easier."
Liu Che adjusted himself instantly and suddenly smiled, "Your offering of this Si Nan is just in time. I will be sending an envoy to Dayuan. I believe they will be able to bring back the Ferghana horses soon."
Um?
An envoy to Dayuan?
Liu Tan reacted instantly. He remembered that the group of envoys sent to Dayuan... were completely wiped out. For this reason, Emperor Liu Che was furious and appointed Li Guangli as the Second General to attack Dayuan.
So now the question is, Li Guangli’s ashes may have been scattered, who will Liu Che send to attack Dayuan?
Seeing Liu Tan's hesitation, Liu Che raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"
Liu Tan felt he had no way of dissuading Liu Che, so he said, "Dayuan is far away, and the envoys... I'm afraid we should send more people, preferably those who can resist the robbers."
Liu Che laughed and said, "You destroyed two countries in the Western Regions because of bandits. Now there is a panic over there. Who dares to show up?"
Liu Tan's mouth twitched. The robbers who attacked him were not real robbers. What kind of rumors were spreading in the Western Regions?
Liu Che still asked as usual: "What do you want?"
Rewards of gold and silver were indispensable, but Liu Che felt that Liu Tan's contributions could not be measured solely by these gold and silver.
Liu Tan opened his mouth, then thought of what Liu Ershi had said before, and finally whispered, "No."
You can tell what kind of person Liu Che is by looking at his expression. At this moment, the old father also wants to sigh.
We just want him to get married, and it's for his health, why is it like torturing him?
Liu Che was about to say something when Bu Fan came over and said, "Your Majesty, Zhu Anshi has been arrested, but he wants to sue the Prime Minister and his son Gongsun Jingsheng for corruption and adultery, and his father Gongsun He for cursing Your Majesty."
