Liu Tan sneered at the news. As soon as he left, all kinds of monsters and demons appeared.
Without even thinking, he immediately set his sights on Liu Qumao.
Because only Liu Qumao had this motive, not to mention that Liu Qumao had personally gone to the prince to alienate the brothers before. Wouldn't it be easy for him to do such a thing now?
Besides, it is difficult to judge whether this rumor is true or false.
In other words, if most people think it is true, and at least the first two sentences are true, then the last sentence is very likely to be true as well.
As for the first sentence... Liu Tan felt that he was tricked by Liu Che, and as for the second sentence, he was tricked by Gun Gun.
But what can I do? I still have to live with a smile on my face.
Even if Liu Che tricked him, he had no choice, not to mention that Liu Che didn't do it on purpose. In the eyes of most people nowadays, anything that cannot be understood is considered magic and there is nothing wrong with it.
As for GunGun... Liu Tan looked at the beast eating and playing foolishly in his car and sighed heavily. He could only forgive it.
Liu Tan threw the news aside. He was not in Chang'an at the moment, so it was difficult for him to refute the rumor. Liu Che and Liu Ju didn't seem to care much either.
As for the others, Chen Ajiao was happy to see it happen. She wanted everyone to think that her son was the one who was suitable to be the crown prince. How could she possibly help to dispel the rumors?
Liu Tan thought for a long time, and finally wrote a letter to Liu Ju, saying very miserably that next year... no, he would not return to Chang'an for the New Year this year, and he would not return in the future, lest these people think of making trouble every day. He decided to stay in the northern border to build the great motherland.
To be honest, he really meant it when he wrote the letter.
He really didn't want to go back to Chang'an. It would be a lie to say that he didn't miss Liu Che and Chen Ajiao after not going back for a long time. He was not a cold-blooded animal. From the emperor and empress to the prince, everyone treated him well. How could he not miss them after not seeing them for a long time?
But going back would cause too much trouble. He had already made up his mind to settle down in the Northern Border Country for decades and build it up. When he became richer and more prestigious, and had soldiers under his command, and was less likely to be suspected by others, he would return to Chang'an to retire.
Never give anyone a chance to take advantage!
But there is no need to talk about this idea now. Even if he does, no one may believe it. On the contrary, people may think that he is trying to cover up his mistake.
When Liu Tan's letter reached Liu Ju, he was immediately furious and ordered, "Warn me and find out who is spreading rumors!"
He was so angry, so angry. His brother was not going to come home again. Couldn't these people do something humane every day?
Liu Ju was angry and wrote a letter to Liu Tan to appease him. He also said that he had sent people to suppress the rumors and asked Liu Tan not to think too much about it.
Then he said in a cheesy way: Your prince brother knows who you are, so stop making trouble.
However, Liu Ju suppressed the rumors in order to prevent Liu Tan from having a psychological burden, but in Liu Qumao's eyes, there was another explanation: the prince was worried that everyone really believed that the King of the North was the son of destiny, so he was frantically silencing them.
Liu Qumao stroked his carefully trimmed beard and wrote a letter to King Changyi Liu Bo: Your Highness, don't worry. The prince is starting to panic, and once he panics, he will inevitably lose his composure. Your Highness just needs to do what His Majesty has ordered.
When Liu Bo received the letter, he was immediately excited and began to urge people to look for coal mines.
During this process, Liu Che sat on his throne and watched coldly. Seeing Liu Qumao thinking that he was the mastermind behind the scenes and was proud of muddying the waters without any effort, he sneered, thought for a while, picked up his pen and wrote an edict, ordering Liu Fuling to try his best to find coal mines, and also praised him.
Liu Fuling, who had been completely disheartened, suddenly became excited and began to urge people to look for coal mines. However, he thought further than Liu Bo: Liu Tan said that there might be coal mines in both Qi and Changyi. So, was it in Qi or Changyi?
If he was in Changyi State, wouldn't his efforts have been in vain?
For a moment, Liu Fuling became somewhat anxious and worried. He even felt that Changyi State was a thorn in his side, and that Changyi State should have been included in Qi territory!
If King Changyi disappears...
Liu Fuling began to seriously consider this possibility.
After Liu Che finished writing, Liu Ju understood what he meant and couldn't help but say worriedly: "The King of Qi is young, and the Queen Mother of Qi has a dark mind. If she teaches the King of Qi some bad ideas, then he and the King of Changyi..."
Liu Fuling's words were rather subtle. In fact, over the years, Liu Fuling had been deeply influenced by Lady Gouyi. At this point, perhaps even without Lady Gouyi's instructions, he would have come up with some not-so-good ideas.
However, Liu Ju certainly could not criticize his own brother, especially since this was just his speculation.
Liu Che said lazily: "He can only think about it, but he can't do it."
Liu Che had a certain understanding of his son, otherwise he would not have done such a thing.
No matter how much Liu Fuling thought about it, he did not dare to put it into action, or he did not have the ability to put it into action.
As for witchcraft... I guess after the last witchcraft case, he wouldn't dare to think about it again. Otherwise, if it were discovered, he would be the one to die.
Liu Ju said nothing more, knowing that Liu Che was not only protecting Liu Tan but also him, and could not help asking, "Father, Liu Quma is not fit to be a prime minister."
Liu Che said perfunctorily: "There is no suitable one."
Liu Ju: ...
So you just used him as the top number?
While Liu Che and Liu Ju were discussing Liu Qumao, Liu Tan was also secretly making a note of Liu Qumao. Unfortunately, now was not the time to settle the score. His caravan was about to reach Shuofang, and he had to start making plans.
When doing a project, you can't do it haphazardly, you must have a plan.
First, Liu Tan directly doubled the size of Shuofang City. According to the population... this city is already very large, and it may not need to be expanded in the next few decades.
In this way, after the expansion of Shuofang City, it will basically be connected to his palace, and he will not have to worry about others saying that his palace is isolated and outside, and discussing whether the palace is worthy of being the capital.
After the expansion comes urban planning and design.
This is what Liu Tan really likes. After all, when he played games back then, he could turn doomsday survival games into infrastructure and farming games.
Liu Tan's planning of Shuofang City directly followed the planning of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty. He planned two city-level markets based on the blocks, but each block also had its own street market. Then, it was stipulated that after the curfew, the block gates would be closed, but people could move freely within the block. This would maintain public order and add a little nightlife to everyone.
Even if any violent conflict occurs, the scale can be controlled within the neighborhood and will not affect other places at all.
Just as Liu Tan was enjoying himself drawing, Huo Guang suddenly called out from outside: "Your Highness."
Liu Tan suddenly shuddered, asked someone to open the car window and asked, "What's wrong?"
Huo Guang's face was solemn, no, not just solemn, that expression contained anger and worry.
He looked at Liu Tan and said, "Your Highness, I just received news that on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month of last year, the Xiongnu moved south and plundered Shuofang City, destroying most of it."
Liu Tan couldn't believe his ears. He looked at Huo Guang and asked word by word, "What did you say?"
