Liu Zhao hurried back to Xiaozhu.

Instead of going through the gate, he wanted to climb over the wall and enter.

It alarmed the hidden stake of the guard Xiaozhu and almost accidentally injured him.

He hissed and signaled the guards to keep quiet. He stole through the moon gate and entered the garden.

It has just snowed, and the garden is white and beautiful.

Brother Yu and Brother Heng had a snowball fight and had a great time.

Ah, Daddy!

Brother Heng jumped into Liu Zhao's arms like a bird, Daddy is back, Daddy is back!

Liu Zhao burst out laughing, hugging Brother Heng and holding it high.

Although his lurking was broken by his son, he was very happy in his heart.

He had been away from home for more than half a year, and his son recognized him at a glance, and threw himself into his arms, how could he be unhappy.

Brother Yu has grown up, so he is embarrassed to throw himself into Liu Zhao's arms.

He just bowed to greet him, and was hugged by Liu Zhao, Stinky boy, have you studied hard?

Being held in his father's arms, Brother Yu was overjoyed, grinning silly.

He is in the process of changing his teeth and one of his front teeth is missing. With a smile, it was revealed.

My son is studying hard. When will Daddy come back?

Just arrived this morning, where is your mother?

Mother is enjoying plum blossoms and drinking tea in the small flower hall.

Are there any guests at home?

The head of the academy came here before, but he has already left.

Did your mother take the medicine on time? Did she take good care of her body?

some.

Liu Zhao carried the two children and walked towards the flower hall.

When the servants heard the movement, they all ran out.

His Royal Highness is back!

Greetings to Your Highness!

Madam is waiting for His Highness in the Flower Hall.

Is Your Highness hungry? The servant asked the kitchen to prepare food and drinks.

Liu Zhao laughed, Stop crowding around. Prepare wine, vegetables and hot water.

The servant obeys!

Liu Zhao carried the two children into the flower hall.

Gu Jiu lay on the bed with a smile on her face.

Seeing Gu Jiu, Liu Zhao couldn't care less about his son.

Put the two brats on the ground, and walked to Gu Jiu's side in two steps, Miss me?

Gu Jiu nodded, I thought you wouldn't be able to come back before the Chinese New Year.

Just kidding! How can I not come back during the Chinese New Year. Even if I climb, I will climb back.

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, How miserable you are, you still have to crawl back.

Just as an analogy, you still take it seriously.

Liu Zhao leaned close to Gu Jiu's ear, whispered, I miss you so much that my whole body hurts.

Gu Jiu giggled and pushed him away, Kids watch, don't make trouble!

Liu Zhao realized later that the two boys were still in the room.

He looked back at the two brats, What are you doing standing there, hurry up and do your homework.

The homework has been finished. Brother Yu said loudly.

Then go to review your homework, don't stick around here and get in the way. I have something important to say for my father and your mother.

Liu Zhao dismissed his two sons without a doubt.

Gu Jiu laughed out loud and pulled his collar, Is there anything important to tell me?

Holding you is the most important thing.

Gu Jiu threw himself into Liu Zhao's arms, then pushed him away, You haven't washed yet. It stinks.

Where does it stink, don't try to slander Your Highness.

Gu Jiu looked disgusted, How many days have you not showered?

Liu Zhao smiled guilty, I'm busy on my way, I'll go wash up right away. You wait for me.

After Liu Zhao finished washing, the kitchen had already prepared food and wine.

Liu Zhao's stomach growled, and he pulled Gu Jiu to eat together.

You need to eat more.

Gu Jiu said, I drink medicine every day, and it makes my stomach full.

No wonder I think you've lost weight.

How can I be thin, and I have lost two catties of puffiness.

Gu Jiu snorted and glared at Liu Zhao dissatisfied.

Liu Zhao immediately gave up, Alright, alright, you are getting fat, you should eat less. Come, eat half a bowl of rice first.

The so-called eating less is half a bowl, then another half bowl, and then another half bowl...

It took half an hour for a meal.

Gu Jiu felt that he had eaten too much and was unwilling to move.

Seeing that she was really unwilling to move, Liu Zhao didn't take her out for a walk because of the severe cold outside. Just stay with her and talk.

Does King Qing know?

Gu Jiu squinted her eyes and lay comfortably on his lap.

She hummed, I know! I've heard a lot of people say that Emperor Zhongzong's favorite youngest son is said to be the emperor's favorite son, and the common people love the youngest son. Why did you come to your Liu family? It's all the other way around.

Liu Zhao smiled wryly, 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 was filled with embarrassment, and pinched her cheeks, unable to hide his triumphant expression, I captured King Qing's posthumous son. I captured him among thousands of troops.

Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment before realizing it.

Prince Qing's posthumous son, the one who rebelled?

Liu Zhao nodded, Aren't you a good man?

Gu Jiu stared at him, Are you sure there are thousands of troops, didn't you climb the wall in the middle of the night to steal people out? Even if you are my man, you can't exaggerate.

The corners of Liu Zhao's mouth twitched, Can't you let me groan for a while?

Gu Jiu laughed, How did you catch him back? It's really King Qing's posthumous son, are you sure it's not a fake?

I'm sure it's not a fake. He is indeed Prince Qing's posthumous son. He is the father's confidant, like a thorn in his throat. I am a good son, so I naturally want to share my father's worries.

Gu Jiu smiled, You have made a great contribution. How does His Majesty plan to reward you?

It hasn't been decided yet. I'm asking for cash directly. It's simple and convenient, and everyone can rest assured.

Gu Jiu shook his head, You caught King Qing's posthumous child, you kept it a secret, you can directly reward you with cash. But your credit for buying food and disaster relief has to be discussed in the court, so you can't also be rewarded with cash you.

Liu Zhao was very proud, Could it be that you want to reward me with a prince?

Dream!

Gu Jiu sneered and said: Your Majesty must be worrying about how to reward you now. You are a good son, you should be more sensible and share your worries for Your Majesty.

Liu Zhao laughed and didn't care at all, Then how do you think I should share my father's worries so that I can be considered a good son?

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, It's very simple, share the credit with everyone. His Majesty is happy, maybe it can raise brother Yu Heng's title.

You can also change the way, you directly ask for a title for brother Yun. In this way, the three brothers all have titles.

The titles of Brother Yu and Brother Heng are earned by me, and brother Yun's title is counted on you. Next time you make a great contribution and earn a county lord or the title of princess lord for Niu Niu.

As for you, forget it. If you don't give the prince a title, any reward is empty. More money is enough.

Liu Zhao squeaked and kissed Gu Jiu's face.

Your way is better. Earn titles for the children. As for me, just ask for more money. In this way, unnecessary suspicion can be avoided.

Suspicion will always exist. If you are sensible, His Majesty will naturally be tolerant to you and allow you to return to the court. Remember to be ruthless when asking for money, and you must kill the Shaofu severely. Let the world know you How greedy.

Madam, don't worry, the Shaofu will at least cut off two or two taels of flesh for His Highness this time.

...

The news of Liu Zhao's return to Beijing was not spread until the next day, and soon spread throughout the court.

When the person comes back, the next step is to reward the meritorious service.

There was a lot of quarrel in the court about how to reward, and there was no result after arguing for two or three days.

Liu Zhao didn't go to the early court, he went to the harem to greet Empress Dowager Xiao and Empress Pei.

Empress Pei encouraged him, You have made such a great contribution, why not take this opportunity to beg your father to grant you a title.

Mother, don't worry about it. It's a bad idea to bestow a noble. You are hurting me.

Empress Pei was annoyed, You are my own son, how could I harm you. An imposing prince, but he doesn't even have a serious title, is it plausible?

It's outrageous that an imposing prince doesn't have a title! It's just that the queen mother thinks that the father will agree to confer the title? Once the son asks for the title, the father may wish that I die outside.

Don't talk nonsense! That's your father!

He is also the emperor. The mother's heart and son's heart. Don't worry about my affairs, don't do unnecessary things. I know what to do.

Empress Pei asked: Then tell me, what are you going to do?

Mother, just wait for the news.

Liu Zhao didn't want to say more.

Empress Pei was annoyed.

She was rejected by Liu Zhao, how could she not be angry.

But she has nothing to do with Liu Zhao.

This son, who has been very determined since he was a child, never listened to her.

In private, Empress Pei complained to Eunuch Wen, He just listens to Gu Jiu. When Gu Jiu says something, he doesn't dare to say anything. It's a worthless thing.

Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty must trust His Highness, he will be able to handle these matters well.

If he can handle it well, he won't be left out of the city in the cold for three or four years by His Majesty. He just has a stubborn temper, he doesn't listen to others' advice, and is pushed by Gu Jiu to go his own way.

Empress Pei was very angry.

...

They quarreled in the hall for several days, but there was no result.

Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Liu Zhao wrote the book and asked Emperor Wende to bestow a title on his youngest son Liu Yun.

This move perfectly solved Emperor Wende's troubles.

Liu Zhao has made meritorious service and must be rewarded. Otherwise, the hearts of the heroes of the world will be chilled.

Liu Zhao is the prince, how to reward him is a big question.

Moreover, Liu Zhao already had the title of General Zhen Guo, and if the title goes up one level, he becomes the county king.

It is absolutely impossible for Emperor Wende to grant Liu Zhao the title of County King.

At least not currently.

If you don't give a title, what can you give?

If it is a courtier, you can give an official position, or a vacant position.

It's hard for the prince!

Fortunately, Liu Zhao was savvy enough to take the initiative to ask for the title of his youngest son.

Emperor Wende laughed loudly, and took up a pen to write the word Zhun in bright red.

A few days later, the decree arrived at Xiaozhu.

Liu Yun was granted the title of general of Fengguo.

And rewarded Liu Zhao with a cart of gifts.

Liu Zhao only saw the gift but not the money, so he was angry.

Bully!

After making such a great contribution, he was reluctant to give some money.

He didn't care about anything, and went directly to the palace to ask Emperor Wende for money.

Before leaving, he said to Gu Jiu, If I don't have money, my Highness won't come back!
