I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 434 [4 More] 434

The Zhao family is not rare in this world, but there should be only one Zhao family that can be so solemnly raised by Liu Ju—the descendants of the first emperor.

And only the descendants of the first emperor would want to deliberately kill the current emperor.

Even if it wasn't the Liu family who destroyed the Qin Dynasty, they were the ones who benefited in the end. If the Zhao family wanted to restore the country, they must first kill the current royal family and then rebel.

However, because Qin II slaughtered his brothers and sisters, many people think that the first emperor has no direct descendants. There is also a saying that some of his descendants immigrated to North Korea and then to Japan.

However, it is doubtful whether those so-called descendants are direct descendants of the First Emperor.

Thinking of this, Liu Tan couldn't help looking at Liu Che and asked, "Father, the Zhao clan...does it really exist? Are they descendants of Queen Qin?"

Liu Che stared at Liu Tan: "Why do you care so much?"

Liu Tan was startled, wondering if he had exposed the attributes of the first emperor's fanboy, coughed lightly and said, "I'm just wondering, aren't all the descendants of Emperor Qin killed by Qin II? Where did this come from?" The survivors of the Zhao family? Could it be impersonation?"

Liu Che took a deep look at Liu Tan and said, "It's not necessarily true. Emperor Qin has many sons and daughters, and his grandchildren may not have escaped."

A flash of inspiration flashed in Liu Tan's mind: "Young master is tall!"

Liu Che neither admitted nor denied it, but the more Liu Tan thought about it, the more he felt that it was so.

After Qin Ershi came to power, he wanted to kill his brothers and sisters wantonly. The son Gao originally wanted to escape, but he was worried that his family would be implicated. In the end, he simply applied to be buried with the first emperor and asked Qin Ershi to let his family go.

Needless to say, although Qin Er Shi was mentally abnormal, he agreed to Gong Zigao, and he really let Gong Zigao's family members go.

There are only so many records left by Gong Zigao. Although the Han Dynasty was not too long away from the Qin Dynasty, many historical materials were lost due to the war.

The worst one was Xiang Yu, who burned all the books in the world collected by the first emperor with a torch!

However, if there really are orphans of the descendants of the First Emperor, then...then it is likely to be the descendants of Gong Zigao.

He looked down at the document again, carefully put it on Liu Che's desk and said, "I don't know if His Royal Highness has found the whereabouts of these Zhao family members."

Liu Che asked: "Do you want to wait until the prince catches them and hand them over to you?"

Liu Tan immediately said: "No... no need, this matter is of great importance, and it is better for the father to deal with it."

Although he intends to leave a bloodline for the first emperor, but now the orphans of the Zhao family are plotting to curse Liu Che. Even if those people are the bloodline of the first emperor, the balance in Liu Tan's heart is still biased towards Liu Che.

If Emperor Shihuang was here, he might still hesitate a bit, but...he should also be on Liu Che's side.

Excluding the cult of personality, there are also personal emotional factors in it.

Liu Che curled his lips and said, "Be careful yourself, the enemy is in the dark and you are in the open. These people may not be able to get in touch with your subordinates if they can get in touch with King Yan."

Liu Tan nodded obediently, and when he heard Liu Che say this, he suddenly asked, "In that case... then... King Yan was wronged?"

Liu Che's voice suddenly turned eight degrees colder: "Where has he been wronged? Didn't he set up a witchcraft to harm you?"

Liu Tan didn't say anything. It was true that he was harmed by witchcraft, but the problem was that the degree of harming him was not the same as harming Liu Che.

There is no need to think about setting up witchcraft to harm Liu Che, Liu Dan will undoubtedly die, but harming him, although he has the name of harming his brothers, may be confinement.

Seeing that Liu Tan lowered his head and said nothing, Liu Che said earnestly, "Don't be so merciful. You beg me to let him go now. If he gets the chance, he will still harm you. By then, it will be too late for you to regret it."

Liu Tan: ...

He doesn't want to intercede for Liu Dan, he can't wait to press Liu Dan to death, okay?

The only problem is that if the crime of cursing Liu Che is not placed on Liu Dan, then his crime is not so serious. Even if Liu Che gets angry again, he is still his son. Maybe he wants to save his son's life?

In order to prevent Liu Che from suspecting that he was dissatisfied with such a result, he might as well show his generosity first and take the initiative to mention commuting Liu Dan's sentence.

It's just that Liu Che didn't seem to think about saving Liu Dan's life.

Liu Che's idea is very simple, if he dares to curse Liu Tan now, in the future he will dare to curse the crown prince, even the emperor's father!

Things like witchcraft, you either don't touch them, or once you touch them, you won't look back.

Seeing Liu Tan nodding seriously, Liu Che felt relieved.

What worries him the most about Liu Tan these years is that this kid always seems to have a strange open-mindedness towards his family.

It was the same for Liu Fuling, it was the same for Liu Wei, and it was the same for Liu Dan.

Compared with the ruthlessness he faced against Wushilu or even the sheriff of Xi'an Yang County, he seemed to be a different person.

Of course Liu Che didn't think it was bad, but in the long run, would he be bullied to death by those brothers who didn't like him?

The only thing Liu Che hopes now is that Liu Dan can teach Liu Tan a lesson.

With the end of the martial arts performance in the grassland, the trip to watch the martial arts performance also comes to an end.

Liu Tan also received news that both the Longevity Palace and the Northern Palace have been exorcised and tidied up, and they can just go back and live when the emperor and the Northern King return.

Liu Tan was also worried that Liu Che had scruples in his heart, so he asked someone to get him a bed in the side hall of Yanshou Hall.

As a result, he was sent back by Liu Che again.

Liu Che waved his sleeves and said, "Go, go, do what you should do, don't you deal with the government affairs of the northern border country? Don't play tricks on me."

Liu Tan:? ? ? ? ?

Dogs...cough cough, don't know good people!

However, Liu Che is so big-hearted that he doesn't care about the influence of witchcraft?

In fact, Liu Che is not big-hearted, but really believes that Liu Tan's luck is strong, so he can sit in the northern border country.

Liu Che is also very confident in himself. He is the emperor. He has been buried for so long without any accident. It is obviously because of Liu Tan. Now he needs Liu Tan to use this luck to guard the frontier. If he spends time here If it led to the invasion of the Huns instead, Liu Chening could eliminate the influence by himself.

What's more...Liu Che doesn't necessarily want Liu Tan to come, there are too many people who are willing to help him solve the disaster.

After Liu Tan was blown away and returned to Shuofang City, there were indeed some things that needed to be dealt with, that is, Huo Guang really caught some people who were plotting against the law.

However, few of them are related to witchcraft, and most of them are fishing in troubled waters, trying to do some illegal business in Shuofang City.

You must know that the more stringent the regulations, the higher the profits of illegal businesses.

After hearing this, Liu Tan said casually: "These people should be dealt with according to the law. The remaining ones related to witches and Gu will be cut in half, abandoned the market, and the barbarians."

After Liu Tan finished speaking these three words, he was in a daze.

When he was studying history back then, although he knew that such punishment was normal in this era, he still felt that it was too bloody.

When had he been able to say these three words so easily and have his subordinates put them into action?

It's a pity that his emotion didn't last too long, and he heard Huo Guang say: "Your Highness, according to the law, it should be punished as the crime of treason, and the nine clans should be punished."

Liu Tan: ...

He was silent for a while and said, "Do as you say."

Huo Guang responded, and talked about sending off the driver very normally, as if the life and death of many people had not been decided by a single thought just now.

Because of the Witch Gu incident, Liu Che moved forward his scheduled return to Chang'an by five days, so he should leave in two days after his return this time.

In fact, Liu Tan didn't have much to do, it was just for him to decide what to bring to Liu Che.

Among other things, you must bring some bean products and the like. There are a few that Liu Che likes to eat, and you can bring them home for a change. By the way, you also bring some for Chen Ajiao, Liu Ju, and Princess Dang Li.

There is also glass, which has to be taken back, but it depends on where Weiyang Palace needs to be replaced, and then it is better to send it there collectively.

Not much left to take home.

After reading the list, Liu Tan became obviously depressed. Every time Liu Che came, he felt that it was too troublesome to greet him, but every time Liu Che left, he couldn't bear it.

Lu Xuan silently stayed by his side, Liu Tan put the list on the case table, and suddenly asked: "Are you leaving soon too?"

Although the day of Lu Xuan's expedition is set in winter, there are many things that need to be coordinated before that, and it is too late to go back now.

Lu Xuan was silent for a while before replying: "Yes."

Liu Tanchang let out a long breath: "We're leaving."
