"See." Li Zhang bowed respectfully.

"Then what do you think of Zhao Yuanyan?" Liu E sat upright and looked at Li Zhang and asked again.

Li Zhang hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then replied: "This man is ambitious, I advise Your Majesty to try to stay away from him."

"Haha, if you were in the capital before, and Your Majesty and Zhao Yuanyan were trying to persuade him like this when they first met him, he might listen, but if you persuade him now, he may not listen to you!" Liu E is worthy of being the person who grew up watching Zhao Zhen, and guessed Zhao Zhen's every move very accurately.

Li Zhang sighed at this time and said, "Yes, Your Majesty doesn't believe me, but instead defended King Ding a few words. I don't think I can persuade him, so I didn't persuade him anymore."

"You shouldn't have persuaded him at first. Zhao Yuanyan is not only ambitious, but also a clever mouth can make the death alive. He made up his mind to contact His Majesty at this time, and he must have thought about everything. Maybe he had explained what you persuaded His Majesty to His Majesty in advance, so His Majesty naturally would not believe you easily." Liu E asked someone to bring a chair, then signaled Li Zhang to sit down, and then waved his hand to let the others retreat.

"Since you know the ambition of King Ding, why don't you stop him from contacting His Majesty?" Li Zhang suddenly asked curiously. With Liu E's caution, how could he indulge Zhao Yuanyan so much?

Hearing Li Zhang's inquiry, Liu E actually smiled bitterly and shook her head and said, "This matter is a long story. Of course, I know Zhao Yuanyan's ambition. Even when the emperor was alive, he was particularly guarded against him. However, most of the descendants of Emperor Taizong were not long-lived. When His Majesty was alive, Zhao Yuanyan was the only one left. Later, His Majesty became more and more confused. He actually relaxed his vigilance against Zhao Yuanyan, and even trusted him very much. He often summoned him to the palace to talk to him..."

Li Zhang secretly curled his lips when he heard what Liu E said, because he knew that although Zhao Heng was confused in his later years, some things were still very clear. For example, he had summoned Zhao Yuanyan many times before his death, mainly because he wanted this only brother to become the one who restrained Liu E. After all, Liu E's power was getting stronger and stronger at that time, and if Zhao Heng died, no one could check or balance her.

Of course, Li Zhang must not dare to say what he thought in his heart, and Liu E continued: "Zhao Yuanyan is ambitious. At that time, His Majesty was dying and trusted him very much. It probably reminded him of the fact that Taizu gave way to Taizong. After all, His Majesty was too young at that time, so he stayed in the palace and refused to go back. Even His Majesty asked him to serve him personally when he took medicine."

"I know this, but later I heard that King Ding suddenly left the palace one day, and he never entered the palace again until the death of the late emperor." Li Zhang also interrupted at this time. Many things happened when Zhao Heng died, and Zhao Yuanyan was just one of them.

When he heard Li Zhang's words, Liu E blinked with pride, and then he smiled and said, "Although Zhao Yuanyan is a man with great ambition and extremely smart, he also has the shortcomings that smart people often have, that is, suspicion and timidity. I asked someone to drip a little ink into the tea he drank, but he thought someone was going to poison him, so he ran back to the palace in shame and dared not come out. Are you ridiculous?"

When Liu E spoke at the end, she couldn't help laughing proudly. Li Zhang was shocked when he heard this, and then laughed the same way. However, if he was Zhao Yuanyan's words, he might run away in fear. Even if he knew that the ink was placed in the tea, since the other party could put in ink this time, he might poison it next time, so it was normal for Zhao Yuanyan to escape for his own safety.

After Liu E laughed, she suddenly sighed helplessly and continued: "Although he scared Zhao Yuanyan away, he was the younger brother of the late emperor and the only living son of His Majesty Taizong, so he could only try his best to win over him. After His Majesty ascended the throne, the Ai family issued an order to sign him as the Secretary of the Central Committee and the Shangshu, and be appointed as the Madam Tutor, and even enter and exit the palace at will. He was honest at first, and after accepting these rewards, he stayed at home and did not go out. However, last time the Ai family was sick, he became active again and knew his thoughts about him better than anyone else."

Li Zhang finally understood what Liu E meant after hearing this. Although Zhao Yuanyan had bad intentions and might even have other ambitions, he was Zhao Heng's only living younger brother after all. Speaking of which, Zhao Heng's brothers were not long-lived. They either died young or died early. Very few people could live to forty. Folk legends say that Zhao Guangyi had done too many unethical things, which made his son not live long.

As Zhao Guangyi's only surviving son, and Zhao Yuanyan has a very good reputation in the court and among the people, Liu E could not stop him from approaching Zhao Zhen, and she could not even use tough measures against Zhao Yuanyan. So even if she knew that Zhao Yuanyan had bad intentions, Liu E had no choice but to do anything to him.

"So that's it. However, Zhao Yuanyan is a man with great ambitions. Even if he can be deceived for a while, it will be exposed one day. Your Majesty will definitely see his true face clearly at that time." Li Zhang was silent for a moment and said again. Zhao Yuanyan in history was not famous, and Li Zhang was not very clear about his fate. However, as long as he could not control his ambition, he would definitely not have a good end in the future.

Liu E didn't comment on Li Zhang's words, and then asked about his visit to Liao Kingdom. Although he had asked him last time, there were many people and time limited, so Li Zhang just gave a rough talk. Now Liu E asked Li Zhang to explain in detail his experiences and experiences in Liao Kingdom so that he could understand the situation in Liao Kingdom better.

After Li Zhang finished talking about the experiences of the Liao Kingdom, he asked about Liu E's physical condition. Although the other party kept saying that her health was fine, as long as she was not a blind man, she could tell that Liu E was much older than before and could not keep up with her energy. Sometimes when Li Zhang said too quickly, she would interrupt and ask Li Zhang to say it again, which was obviously in sharp contrast to the energetic Liu E at the time.

It was not until late, and Li Zhang was about to say goodbye and leave, but Liu E asked him to stay with her for dinner. In desperation, Li Zhang had to agree. During dinner, Liu E also asked about the situation at Li Zhang's home, especially the children in Qingzhi's belly. She also asked a lot, and Li Zhang also answered one by one.
