Wei and Jin Cooks

When Tuoba Yilu discovered that Tuoba Liuxiu was missing, he immediately dragged Liu Kun to see Zhao Hanzhang.

In Deyang Hall, Zhao Hanzhang had just finished talking with Tuoba Liuxiu when he heard the noise outside the door.

 Lai Qing ran in dripping with sweat, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Governor Liu and the king are asking for an audience."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded to show that he understood, and was not in a hurry. He calmed down and asked Tuoba Liu: "Are you going to leave the palace to rest, or are you going to stay in the palace and wait for the palace banquet?"

 The palace banquet started at Xu hour, but he had to check into the palace at You hour. It was only half an hour before You hour, and this time was enough for him to go back and change his clothes.

 Tuoba Liuxiu did not have as many etiquette as the Han people, so he said: "I want to stay in the palace."

Zhao Hanzhang then said to Lai Qing: "Take the eldest prince away from the back and send him to the side hall to rest. Don't neglect it."

Tuoba Liuxiu stood up, but hesitated and refused to leave.

Zhao Hanzhang stood up and patted his shoulder and said, "Since your mother entrusted you to me before she died, I will never let her down."

Tuoba Liuxiu's eyes turned red, and he saluted with choked sobs, "Yes, aunt."

 He then retired with Lai Qing.

Zeng Yue stopped in front of them and warned with a stern face: "Prefect Liu, on behalf of the king, your majesty is resting, so no noise is allowed in the palace!"

Liu Kun: "We are asking to see His Majesty. If you come to us, how can we make a fuss?"

Zeng Yue: "The chamberlain has already gone to report. Now please take three steps back and wait quietly. If you make any more noise, I will kick you out of the palace."

It was the first time that Tuoba Yilu was disrespected like this. His face turned red with anger and he said angrily: "It's just a piece of work, a dog relies on human power..."

Zhao Hanzhang opened the palace door and walked out, looking at Tuoba Yilu coldly, "Is the king dissatisfied with my commander of the imperial army, or with me?"

Tuoba Yilu was choked up by the curse words he wanted to say. He lowered his head to admit his mistake, "I spoke rudely in a hurry. Please forgive me. Your Majesty, I have something urgent to report to you."

Liu Kun also hurriedly interceded on his behalf, "Your Majesty, the matter between the prince and his son is related to the state and the morality of the world. Please forgive me."

Zhao Ming and Ji Yuan changed their clothes and came over. Seeing this situation, they were about to step forward. Zhao Hanzhang shook his head slightly at them, glanced at Zeng Yue, then turned around and walked into the hall, "Come in."

Liu Kun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly dragged Tuoba Yilu to follow him.

Zeng Yue then stepped forward and opened the palace door, sent four guards in to protect him, and then quietly asked people to find the bookkeeper and let them go in to record.

Then he went forward and said to Zhao Ming and others: "Please ask the gentlemen to wait in the side hall."

 Zhao Ming originally wanted to change his clothes and go to the harem to help Fu Tinghan, but he didn't expect to discuss matters with Zhao Hanzhang at this time. He came after hearing the noise.

 He turned to Ji Yuan and asked, "Your Majesty, you want to decide on behalf of the country at this time?"

 Should we not wait until the palace banquet before making a decision?

Ji Yuan said: "Your Majesty is not in a hurry, but King Dai seems to be in a hurry. Your Majesty has always been a person who is anxious for justice and justice, so he will be anxious about King Dai."

 Zhao Ming:…

He silently went to the side hall with Ji Yuan Mingxu and others to wait.

Zhao Hanzhang looked solemn. Today was obviously her coronation ceremony, but now she looked not happy at all. This made Liu Kun and Tuoba Yilu, who wanted to resolve the matter while she was happy, a little uneasy.

There were a few more people in the palace, but Liu Kun and Tuoba Yilu didn't care. After all, this was Deyang Palace. Zhao Hanzhang had proclaimed himself emperor, and he couldn't live without people around him.

The guards all stood silently at their posts and were inconspicuous, let alone the scribes. This was an invisible profession. Not only could they not attract the attention of the guests in the hall, but they also had to try not to attract the emperor's attention.

So no one went to see the few extra people. Lai Qing also quietly came in and stood beside Zhao Hanzhang, waiting for orders.

Zhao Hanzhang sat behind the dragon case and looked at Tuoba Yilu and Liu Kun quietly.

Liu Kun was the first to kneel down and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the country of Dai is a vassal state of our country. The suzerain state has the responsibility to educate. In today's state, if a son rebels against his father and a son beats his father, such a treasonous thing happens, the suzerain state cannot sit idly by and do nothing. .”

Zhao Hanzhang looked at Tuoba Yilu and said, "King Dai, is this true?"

Tuoba Yilu also knelt down and cried to Zhao Hanzhang about Tuoba Liuxiu's evil deeds since he was a child. Especially this time, he actually sent troops to arrest his father and wanted to kill his father to seize power. This is treason.

　　When Tuoba Liuxiu wanted to strangle him to death, Tuoba Yilu burst into tears and was extremely sad.

Liu Kun is an emotional person. When he heard this, he looked angry and cried together with Tuoba Yilu. He said to Zhao Hanzhang: "Your Majesty, please punish Tuoba Liuxiu severely."

Zhao Hanzhang asked: "I heard that Tuoba Liuxiu had a good horse to give to me, but the king ordered him to give the horse to Tuoba Biyan, is that right?"

Tuoba Yilu and Liu Kun stopped crying. Liu Kun turned his head and glanced at Tuoba Yilu, and had to intercede for him, "Maybe it's because the king has a better gift that he wants to give to your majesty."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and continued to ask: "Why did the king ask Tuoba Sixth Cultivator to kneel down and worship Tuoba Biyan? In this world, there is a principle of younger brothers saluting older brothers. How can an older brother salute younger brothers?"

Liu Kun could not find a reason, so he could only remain silent and wait for Tuoba Yilu to explain himself.

Tuoba Yilu chose to tell the truth, "I want to confer Tuoba Biyan as the crown prince. Since the crown prince is respected, he will naturally salute Tuoba Biyan."

“The canonization is the right and obligation of the imperial court,” Zhao Hanzhang said: “The imperial court did not agree to canonize Tuoba Biyan.”

 Tuoba Yilu said: "I am only satisfied with Tuoba Biyan."

Zhao Hanzhang sighed and asked: "Even if you are dissatisfied with him and humiliate him, he is your son, and he can bear all the shortcomings. Why do you want to kill your wife?"

Tuoba Yilu knew that killing his wife was a crime, so he quickly said: "I have deposed Yina Louzao. She is no longer my wife."

Zhao Hanzhang said solemnly: "What evil deeds has she done to deserve your dethronement?"

 Tuoba Yilu opened his mouth and said in a squeaky voice: "She doesn't respect me."

Zhao Hanzhang's eyes were full of disappointment when he saw that he couldn't tell her why she didn't respect him for a long time.

Liu Kun was also disappointed and couldn't help but said: "Brother, my wife has accompanied you from Shengle City to Pingcheng for twenty years, sharing the joys and sorrows. How can you depose her just because of a verbal dispute? This is unjust!"

Zhao Hanzhang added the sword and said: "Lu Zao is the mother of Tuoba Liuxiu. You killed his mother. As a son of man, do you want him to avenge his mother or not?"

"If he doesn't take revenge, he will be unworthy of being a human son; if he takes revenge, he will be a patricide and a traitor to his son." Zhao Hanzhang slammed the table hard and said angrily: "On behalf of the king, you are setting up a child to be unfilial and unjust. That child is yours." Enemy, you framed him like this?"

Liu Kun suddenly understood why Zhao Hanzhang favored Tuoba Liuxiu. Based on this analysis, Tuoba Yilu was indeed a useless husband and a father.

When Tuoba Yilu heard this, he quickly defended himself and said: "Your Majesty, I was not the one who killed Lou Zao. He was killed by Kezuhun Falcon." (End of this chapter)
