Chapter 733: Debt collection

Liu Zhao rushed back to Xiaozhu.
He doesn't go through the gate, but wants to enter over the wall.
It alarmed the hidden pile of guard Xiaozhu and almost injured him by mistake.
He hissed and motioned to the guard to keep quiet. He sneaked through the moon gate and entered the garden.
It had just snowed, and the garden was white and beautiful.
Brother Yu and Brother Heng had a great time playing snowball fights.
"Ah, daddy!"
Brother Heng threw himself into Liu Zhao's arms like a bird, "Daddy is back, Daddy is back!"
Liu Zhao laughed loudly and held his brother Heng high.
Although his lurking was broken by his son, his heart was full of joy.
He had been away from home for half a year, and his son recognized him at a glance, and took the initiative to rush into his arms. How could he be unhappy.
Brother Yu grew up and was embarrassed to throw into Liu Zhao's arms.
He just bends to greet him, and is picked up by Liu Zhao, "Smelly boy, have you studied hard?"
Being held in his arms by his father, Yu Ge'er was so happy, grinning silly.
He is changing his teeth and one front tooth is missing. With a smile, it came out.
"My son has a good study. When did Daddy come back?"
"Just arrived this morning, where is your mother?"
"Mother is watching plums and drinking tea in the Little Flower Hall."
"Are there any guests at home?"
"The master of the college came here once, but he has already left."
"Did your mother take the medicine on time? Did you take care of your body?"
"some."
Liu Zhao hugged the two children and walked to the Flower Hall.
When the people heard the movement, they all ran out.
"His Royal Highness is back!"
"Greetings to your highness!"
"Madam is waiting for Your Highness in the Flower Hall."
"His Royal Highness is hungry? The slave and maid let the kitchen prepare food and drink."
Liu Zhao laughed, "Don't surround yourself. Prepare hot water for wine and food."
"Slaves obey orders!"
Liu Zhao carried his two children into the flower hall.
Gu Jiu lay on the soft collapse with a smile on his face.
Seeing Gu Jiu, Liu Zhao could still care about his son.
Put the two stinky boys on the ground, three steps and two steps to Gu Jiu's side, "Do you miss me?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "I thought you couldn't come back before the New Year."
"Just kidding! How can I not come back during the Chinese New Year. I have to climb back even if I crawl."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "You have to crawl back for how miserable you are."
"Just to make an analogy, you take it seriously."
Liu Zhao leaned close to Gu Jiu's ear, rubbed his ears, and whispered, "I think you hurt all over you thinking about it."
Gu Jiu giggled and pushed him away, "Kids watch, don't make trouble!"
Liu Zhao realized that the two boys were still in the house.
He looked back at the two stinky boys, "What are you doing while standing, hurry up and do your homework."
"The homework is finished." Yu Ge'er said loudly.
"Then go and review your homework, and don't be an eye-catcher here. For the father and your mother, I have important things to say."
Liu Zhao undoubtedly sent his two sons.
Gu Jiu laughed out loud, pulling his collar, "What are the important things to tell me?"
"Holding you is the most important thing."
Gu Jiu plunged into Liu Zhao's arms, and then pushed him away, "You haven't washed it yet. It smells dead."
"Where it smells, Hugh will slander my Highness."
Gu Jiu looked disgusted, "How many days have you not taken a bath?"
Liu Zhao smiled with a guilty conscience, "Busy on the road, I will go to wash. You are waiting for me."
When Liu Zhao finished washing, the kitchen was ready for wine and vegetables.
Liu Zhao grumbled in his stomach, pulling Gu Jiu to eat together.
"You have to eat more."
Gu Jiu said, "I drink medicine every day, and I'm full."
"No wonder I feel you are thinner."
"How can I be thin? I'm also puffed by two catties."
Gu Jiu snorted and stared at Liu Zhao dissatisfied.
Liu Zhao immediately conceded, "Okay, you're fat, you want to eat less. Come on, eat half a bowl of rice first."
The so-called eat less, is half a bowl after half a bowl, and then half a bowl...
Half an hour after one meal.
Gu Jiu felt that he had eaten too much and was unwilling to move.
Liu Zhao was really unwilling to see her, and the weather outside was so cold, he didn't take her out for a walk. Just accompany her to speak.
"Does King Qing know?"
Gu Jiu squinted his eyes, lying comfortably on his lap.
She hummed, "I know! I have heard a lot about it. It is said that the Emperor Zhongzong's favorite young son. It is said that the emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love Yaoer. Why did you get to your Liu family? The reverse is true."
Liu Zhao smiled bitterly, "I don't know. The eldest son of the Liu family will not end well."
"You are also the eldest son!" Gu Jiu reminded Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao's face was choked and she squeezed her cheeks, unable to conceal the triumphant expression on her face, "I captured King Qing's posthumous son. Yu captured him in the army."
Gu Jiu was stunned before realizing it.
"The posthumous child of King Qing, the one who rebelled?"
Liu Zhao nodded, "You man, am I very good?"
Gu Jiu stared at him, "I'm sure it's an army, not climbing a wall and stealing people in the middle of the night? Even if you are my man, you can't exaggerate."
Liu Zhao's mouth twitched, "Can't you let me linger for a while?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "Why did you get him back? It's really the posthumous child of King Qing, sure it's not a fake?"
"It's definitely not a fake, it is indeed the posthumous son of King Qing. He is the confidant of his father, like a throat. I am a good son, so naturally I have to share my worries for my father."
Gu Jiu smiled, "You have done a great job. How is your Majesty going to reward you?"
"It hasn't been finalized yet. I ask for direct cash payment. It is simple and convenient, so everyone can rest assured."
Gu Jiu shook his head, "You catch King Qing's posthumous child, you can use cash to reward you if you conceal it. But the credit for buying food and disaster relief must be discussed in the court, you can’t use cash. you."
Liu Zhao was very proud, "Could it be that you want to reward me a king?"
"Dream!"
Gu Jiu sneered and said: "Your Majesty must be worrying about how to reward you now. You good son, be more acquainted and share your worries for your Majesty."
Liu Zhao smiled and didn't care a little bit, "Then how do you think I should share the worries for my father to be a good son?"
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, "It's very simple, let the credit go out and share the benefits with everyone. Your Majesty is happy, maybe he can raise the title of Yu Geerheng.
You can also ask for a title for Brother Li directly. In this way, the three brothers all have titles.
I earned the titles of Brother Yu and Brother Heng, and the titles of Brother Li count on you. Next time you will make a great contribution to earn a county head or county head for Niuniu.
As for you, forget it. No rewards will be given to the Prince. A little more money is enough. "
Liu Zhao chirped and kissed Gu Jiu's face.
"It's better for you. Give the kids a knighthood. As for me, just ask for more money. In this way, unnecessary suspicion can be avoided."
"Suspiciousness will always exist. If you are more acquainted, your majesty will naturally be tolerant to you a little bit, and you may return to the court. Remember to be harder when you ask for money, and you must slaughter the young man. Let the world know you. How greedy for money."
"Madam, don't worry, Shao Mansion will at least cut two or two pieces of meat for this Highness this time."
...
The news of Liu Zhao's return to Beijing didn't spread until the next day, and it spread quickly throughout the court.
People come back, and then they should be rewarded.
The court was arguing about how to reward them. After two or three days of arguing, there was no result.
Liu Zhao didn't go to the morning court, he went to the harem and greeted Queen Mother Xiao and Queen Pei.
Empress Pei encouraged him, "You have made such a great contribution, so why don't you take the opportunity to ask your father to grant you a nobility."
"Don't worry about the queen. It's a bad idea to give a nobleman. You are harming me."
Queen Pei was annoyed, "You are the son of this palace, how can this palace harm you? A majestic son, but he doesn't even have a serious title, is that fair?"
"The majestic son does not have a knighthood. It is really unreasonable! But does the mother think that the father will agree to grant the knight? Once the son asks for the knighthood, the father is afraid that I will die outside."
"Don't talk nonsense! That's your father!"
"He is also the emperor. The empress's will and the son's heart. Don't worry about my affairs, don't do unnecessary things. I know what to do."
Queen Pei asked: "Then you tell this palace, what are you going to do?"
"The queen just waits for the news."
Liu Zhao didn't want to say more.
Queen Pei was angry.
She was rejected by Liu Zhao, how could she not be angry.
But she couldn't do anything with Liu Zhao.
This son has been very mindful since he was a child and never listened to her.
In private, Empress Pei complained to Gong Gong Wen, "He just listened to Gu Jiu. Gu Jiu said the east, he dare not say the west. Things that are not promising."
"Mom your anger! Niangniang must believe that your majesty, he will definitely be able to handle these things."
"If he can handle it well, he won't be left out of the city by your Majesty for three or four years. He is just stubborn and doesn't listen to the advice of others. Gu Jiu stubbornly insists on his own way.
Queen Pei was very angry.
...
The court quarreled for several days, but there was no result.
Seeing that the fire was about to come, Liu Zhao just went to this book, and asked Emperor Wende to give his youngest son Liu Li a noble title.
This move perfectly solved the worries of Emperor Wen De.
Liu Zhao has done his merits and cannot fail to reward him. Otherwise it will chill the hearts of the world's heroes.
Liu Zhao is the prince, how to reward him is a university question.
Moreover, Liu Zhao originally had the title of General Zhenguo on him, and the title was raised by one level to become the king of the county.
Emperor Wende would never give Liu Zhao the title of county king.
At least not for now.
If you don't give a title, what can you give?
If you are a courtier, you can give an official post or give a false post.
The prince is difficult!
Fortunately, Liu Zhao was
interested
enough to take the initiative to ask for the title of his younger son.
Emperor Wende laughed and wrote a bright red "quasi".
A few days later, Xiaozhu's purpose came.
Grant Liu Li the general of Fengguo.
And rewarded Liu Zhao with a car of gifts.
Liu Zhao was angry when he saw only the gifts but not the money.
Bullying!
For such a great contribution, I can't bear to give some money.
He didn't care about the three seven twenty one, and went directly to the palace to ask for money from Emperor Wen De.
Before leaving, he said to Gu Jiu: "If you don't have any money, your Highness will not come back!"
