The Emperor!
The Emperor must have come.
Li Shimin was the previous Emperor and his identity was extremely sensitive. It was impossible for ordinary people to pay homage to him. Even if he was a relative of the Emperor, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to stir up trouble without the Emperor's arrangement. Therefore, the only person who could pay homage to Li Shimin was the Emperor.
Moreover, the Emperor also said that he would not pursue Liu Che's provocation for his sake.
With this matter, Liu Che was even more certain.
Liu Che was thinking about this matter when he suddenly remembered the news he received some time ago. It was said that the Emperor was visiting Jiangnan incognito and the Crown Prince was also there. It was normal for the Emperor to come to Qujiang County.
Liu Che saw his father's thoughtful look and said, "Father, who is this man?"
After a pause, Liu Che still looked unwilling and said, "Father, in this son's opinion, it's better to kill the wrong person than to let him go. Taking down this person who pays homage to Li Shimin will be a great merit for us. "
"Bastard! Kneel down!" Liu Che yelled.
Liu Che was stunned after hearing it.
Why do I have to kneel?
Liu Che looked helpless, especially when he saw Liu Che's sharp eyes. He could only kneel down honestly and dared not quibble at all. He knelt on the ground, but he still raised his head and said, "Father, this son is not convinced."
"What are you not convinced about?" Liu Che said. "You don't do proper work, you don't read books, you only know how to hunt in the mountains and play with swords and spears. Do you know that's His Majesty, the Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty? You actually attacked the Emperor. You're not dead yet. It's really the Liu Family's ancestral grave that has accumulated good karma. "
Whoosh!
Liu Che's expression greatly changed.
The Emperor!
It's actually the Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty!
Liu Che swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Father, it's impossible. How can it be the Emperor? Why would the Emperor come to our Qujiang County? "
"His Majesty is traveling with the Crown Prince incognito," said Liu Che. "He appeared in Jiangnan before and now he came to our Qujiang County. What's so strange about that? Besides, Li Shimin's grave is in Jade Mountain. Although His Majesty and the Tang dynasty are enemies, in fact, the relationship between His Majesty and Li Shimin is not bad. They are both friends and enemies. "
After a short pause, Liu Cheng continued, "Most importantly, Li Shimin's identity is sensitive. He's the previous emperor. Who would dare to mourn Li Shiming for no reason? Wouldn't they be afraid of being targeted by the Brocade Guards? Therefore, the only one who dared to mourn Li Shimin was the Emperor himself, except for those under the Emperor's orders. Moreover, the moment you mentioned my name, the other party let you go. Only His Majesty the Emperor is familiar with me. "
Liu Che immediately tensed up.
The Emperor!
He actually met the Emperor of the Xia Xia.
However, Liu Che's heart sank the moment they met. It was over. The impression he gave His Majesty was too bad.
Liu Che said with a bitter face, "Father, what should I do? Now that I've offended His Majesty, I'm afraid that in His Majesty's eyes, I'm a rash and impulsive person. In the future, if you want to become an official and fight on the battlefield, I'm afraid it won't be easy. "
He didn't have much expectations of becoming an official.
However, killing enemies on the battlefield was something he looked forward to.
Liu Cheng said, "His Majesty the Emperor's breadth of mind isn't something you can fathom. Moreover, you think too highly of yourself. You don't have to take this matter to heart. Do what you need to do. Go about your business. "
Liu Che said, "Father, is it really fine?"
Liu Cheng said in a deep voice, "It's really fine. You don't have to worry. How could His Majesty take such a small matter to heart? Moreover, you have good intentions. "
Only then did Liu Che nod. Then, he got up and left.
Liu Cheng sat alone in his room. He hadn't summoned anyone else from the Provincial Governor's Office for the time being. He was thinking about the Emperor in Qujiang County. What Liu Cheng was considering was whether he should go and have an audience with the Emperor now that he was in Jade Mountain.
It was definitely not appropriate to go there rashly.
On the contrary, it would be easy for Du Qi to think that he wasn't doing his job properly.
Even if he wanted to go, he needed a good reason. However, everything in Shaozhou under Liu Cheng's rule was going well. There was nothing going on for the time being. There was no reason to go there.
"Forget it. I'll just do my own thing."
Liu Cheng didn't have to go.
Right now, all he had to do was to do what he was supposed to do. After all, he hadn't been the Provincial Governor of Shaozhou for long. There were many things he needed to do.
Liu Cheng calmed himself down and gradually regained his composure. He called for his subordinates to deal with Shaozhou's government affairs. After they finished their discussion, they went to carry out their tasks. As for Liu Cheng, he continued to busy himself.
Knock! Knock!
The sound of knocking suddenly rang out from outside the room.
It was the housekeeper of the residence.
The housekeeper came to Liu Cheng's side and said respectfully, "Master, this is news from our merchant group."
Liu Cheng took the letter and quickly skimmed through it.
After he finished reading it, he had a shocked expression on his face. He said, "How is this possible? Every ship of my Liu Clan's merchant group was built with the current shipbuilding technology of Xia Xia. Their hulls are hard and they are extremely good at sailing. How could they be taken down? You have to know that it's very normal for our merchant ships to travel to and from Japan. However, this time, we actually lost all of our ships. Only a few people managed to escape. What exactly happened in Japan? "
The housekeeper's expression was also solemn.
After Liu Cheng muttered for a while, he carefully looked at it again. After he finished reading it all, he said in a deep voice, "According to the information in this letter, many of the people they encountered were blonde and blue-eyed. Many of them were also brown-skinned. In short, they were not natives of Japan. How could such a person occupy Wo Nation and directly attack our caravan? "
The housekeeper said, "Master, are these people the people of the previous dynasty who were loyal to Li Zhi? After all, Li Zhi left Guangzhou and went to sea back then. There has been no news of Li Zhi all these years. "
Liu Cheng said, "I don't know."
His eyes became sharp and he said in a deep voice, "In the past, Japan could not withstand a single blow and was very weak. But now, the situation has changed. They are so strong that they can even defeat our warships. In particular, the other party has firearms, gunpowder, cannons, and so on. That's why we were defeated. We must pay attention to this situation. "
The housekeeper said, "Master, what do you plan to do?"
Liu Cheng said in a deep voice, "This is a serious matter. We must report it to His Majesty immediately. Prepare the carriage immediately. I must rush to Jade Mountain immediately to have an audience with His Majesty and report this matter to His Majesty. "
The housekeeper turned around and went to make the arrangements.
Liu Cheng thought for a moment and ordered someone to call Liu Che. After Liu Che entered, he said, "Father, why are you looking for me?"
Liu Cheng said, "Pack up and follow me to Jade Mountain."
"Yes!"
Liu Che immediately became excited.
He was going to have an audience with His Majesty again. That was a supreme honor!
Liu Che turned around and ran like the wind.
Liu Cheng looked at Liu Che's appearance and shook his head with a helpless expression. His son's temperament was not bad. He did not walk dogs, fight cocks, or bully people. However, he did not like to study. He only liked to play with swords and guns. It made him feel helpless.
