Liu Lian nodded and said, "My father guessed well. The news sent by the Prime Minister was that the fifth-rank official in the capital would arrive at Fengtian Palace and tomorrow morning to accept His Majesty's reward!"

Liu Bowen sighed slightly and said, "The soldiers follow His Majesty's life and death. It should be the time to reward them. However, the Huaixi Group has a large number of people and has made too much contribution. Today's rewards are bound to be granted kings and marquis. These people usually rely on their fellow countrymen and support from the Prime Minister. They no longer regard officials from other provinces as officials. After today's rewards, they will be even more domineering in the future?"

Liu Lian put down the medicine bowl in his hand, helped Liu Bowen to sit up, shook his head and sighed, "My father made a lot of contributions to His Majesty's advice. Although it was not as great as the fight between military generals, there is no one who knows that in the battle of Poyang Lake, his father supported His Majesty to fight Chen Youliang, in the battle of Poyang Lake, in the battle of Anfeng, in the battle of Zhang Shicheng, in the northern expedition of the Central Plains, which major event can be separated from his father? Lian'er said something disrespectful.

Without a father, Your Majesty may be able to unify the world, but according to Lian'er's opinion, it would be several years later. It was because of his father's strategy that Jiangnan was unified by His Majesty. His Majesty had enough power to attack the Central Plains in the north and seize Shandong and Henan. His father's contribution was comparable to that of Zhuge Wuhou and Wei Zheng back then. How could His Majesty not remember it in his heart? According to Lian'er's opinion, his father would not be much inferior to his reward today?"

Liu Lian's words did not make Liu Bowen feel much better. In terms of merit, Li Shanchang was naturally higher than him. In recent years, he had stabilized the rear and was able to defeat the battles for His Majesty and win the battles. He did make outstanding contributions and it was also worthy of great rewards. Liu Bowen was not very worried about this. The only thing he was worried about was that Zhu Yuanzhang was smart, but he had more local feelings and valued the soldiers in Huaixi. Nowadays, most of the soldiers in Huaixi are tiger generals in the army. The battle of Poyang Lake, Pingjiang, and Northern Expedition have made many military achievements, and they are bound to be rewarded. What made Liu Bowen most worried about this reward was that Zhu Yuanzhang would reward the soldiers in Huaixi because of his local friendship, which encouraged these soldiers to be domineering. This was extremely unfavorable to a new court. This was what he was most worried about! "

"What time is the update now?" Liu Bowen asked softly.

Liu Lian sighed slightly, and the father asked, as a son, how did he not know his father's intentions. He looked out the window and said, "Just arrived at the fifth update, Liu Qing sent the news just now. The ministers had just entered the Meridian Gate, and I guess they hadn't seen the emperor yet!" After saying that, he shook his head and sighed, "Father, you have not been well-behaved yet. Don't go to this morning court. My father worked hard for Your Majesty and was loyal. He has worked hard all these years. If Your Majesty is a wise ruler, he will naturally think of his father's benefits, and this reward may not be less than there?"

Liu Bowen's face darkened and his face looked angry, and said, "What are you saying? I have given advice for Your Majesty over the years. Do you value this reward?"

Liu Lian was shocked. He knew that he had said the wrong thing and made his father angry. He was so scared that he thumped, and knelt down on the ground and said tremblingly: "Liang'er said the wrong thing and made his father angry. Please punish him?"

Liu Bowen shook his head, sighed, and then said, "Get up, you don't blame you for thinking about it so much. The so-called "restraining the affairs of the king and winning the reputation of the past and future generations" has been said since ancient times. There are very few people who can truly achieve such transcendence as Fan Li and Liu Hou. Your father asked himself that there was no realm of them, so he was still a common person. However, his father cared about rewards not for those empty titles and reputations, but for national affairs.

The Prime Minister has always hated his father's people in East Zhejiang. If his father did not attend court, he would naturally not let go of such a reward opportunity. With His Majesty's trust in him for many years, he would not take the opportunity to suppress Zhejiang officials. Once Zhejiang officials cannot balance the Huaixi Group, our Ming Dynasty government will not be controlled by the Huaixi Group. If it is the officials who are rectified, it would be fine. I am afraid that those who are interested will take advantage of this opportunity to fight for power and profit, and make the government a mess, which will be extremely unfavorable to the country and the people. This is the reason why my father insists on going to court!"

"Father is far-sighted, Lian'er remembers it in his heart!" Liu Lian said with a respectful face.

"Okay, dress me up, I'm going to have a morning court!"

"Yes!" Liu Lian responded and helped Liu Bowen put on his clothes. He was wearing them when he suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door: "Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu--?" His voice was low, but with great anxiety.

"Who is outside the door?" Liu Lian turned around and shouted to the door.

Hearing someone's response, the person outside the door was obviously relieved and did not reply immediately. Instead, he pushed the slightly closed door and walked in with a cold feeling.

Liu Bowen, who had just finished dressing, looked up and saw a middle-aged official about 40 years old walking in under the dim candlelight. The candlelight blown by the morning breeze shone his slightly pale face. It turned out to be Yang Xian, the second-ranked person of Zhejiang East Group. Yang Xian was wearing a big red official robe and a black black gauze hat. A piece of purple jade on his waist flashed slightly with his steps. He walked up quickly and bowed and said, "Mr. Liu—?"

"It's really time for me to come?" Liu Bowen muttered secretly, thinking: "He dares to come here, probably because the morning court has not started yet. I wonder what happened again?"

Although he was worried, Yang Xian was extremely capable and a capable person in Zhejiang East Group. Liu Bowen did not dare to neglect him. At this moment, he didn't care about his weakness. He stood up, clasped his fists, and hurriedly met him, saying, "What's the matter with Master Yang?"

Yang Xian bowed his hand and returned the courtesy. He walked up and said without saying anything. He grabbed Liu Bowen and said anxiously: "Sir, please follow me quickly, otherwise something big will happen?"

Liu Bowen was shocked and said, "What happened?"

"It's not the time to talk about this. You'd better follow me into the palace. People will die later. Without you, I'm afraid there will be chaos in Fengtian Palace?" Yang Xian said anxiously.

"What a big deal happens, who happened? "Who did something big deal happen?" Liu Bowen was shocked when he heard that Yang Xian had a big deal, and then he heard "It's going to die?" He almost couldn't believe his ears. Who in the palace had such a courage to make trouble in Fengtian Palace? Although Zhu Yuanzhang rarely got angry, he dared to make trouble on his head. That was not a joke. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Yang Xian and waited for his commentary.
