    ¡°This is not the place to talk, let¡¯s go in and talk!¡±

    Seeing more and more people nearby, Liu Deng frowned, and then pulled Zhidu into the palace.

    All the way to the main hall, tea was served. After the guests and hosts were seated again, Liu Deng directly waved his hand and asked someone to bring a stack of confessions and place them in front of Zhidu.

    "Your Majesty, what is this?"

    Zhi was a little confused, not knowing what Liu Deng wanted to say.

    "Lord Zhidu, you are my Han Dynasty's lieutenant. Come and see what crime this Tao Qing deserves?"

    Liu Deng picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said calmly.

    "this¡­¡­"

    Of course Zhidu knew that Tao Qing must have done a lot of things overtly and covertly, but after reading these confessions, his face suddenly darkened again.

    ??It was already embarrassing enough to engage in such unflattering tactics, but now someone actually caught him with evidence. Now even he had to admit that this guy really deserved to die.

    "Your Majesty, although this guy has committed a heinous crime, he is the Prime Minister sent by the imperial court after all. For the sake of the imperial court, please ask your Majesty to hand him over to the ministers to take him away. How about that?"

    Thinking of His Highness the Crown Prince¡¯s entrustment, Zhidu was helpless and could only bite the bullet and speak at this time.

    "The Prime Minister sent by the imperial court? Do you mean that what he did was assigned by the imperial court?"

    Liu Deng¡¯s face darkened. Although he and Zhi were both acquaintances, he couldn¡¯t give him this face.

    With Tao Qing¡¯s connections in the court and this incident, it is indeed a huge scandal.

    "After returning to Chang'an City, if someone is behind the scenes, this old boy might actually be able to escape."

    "Your Majesty, where do you start with these words? How could the imperial court do such a thing?"

    Zhidu had a bitter look on his face. It seemed that Liu Deng was not going to hand over the person to him today.

    This guy really deserves to die, but no matter what, he shouldn¡¯t die in Liu Deng¡¯s hands

    "I know why you came, but I have already made up my mind about this matter! Tao Qing will die this time, and he can only die in Jinyang City! Three days later, this city full of people  All profiteers must come here to watch their punishment!"

    After drinking all the remaining tea in the cup, Liu Deng said loudly.

    "Your Majesty, why are you doing this? Even if he deserves to die, he should be punished by the Tingwei Mansion. If you do this, aren't you afraid of being impeached by the court officials?"

    Zhidu now holds an imperial edict in his hand, but before he came, the prince had made it clear that he should take it out at his own discretion.

    At this time, he has been weighing whether to take it out.

    With Liu Deng¡¯s character, if he takes out this imperial edict, I am afraid that the relationship between the two parties will eventually become extremely tense

    "We are old acquaintances. I know that since you are here, you must be holding an imperial edict in your sleeve, right? My king's golden seal is here. Either you take it away with me, or you can't take this person with you!"  "

    After Liu Deng finished speaking, he stood up and left the table, completely ignoring Zhi who sat there with a bitter look on his face.

    "Why is this happening? Why is this happening!"

    After Liu Deng left, Zhi Du looked at Chen Qi with a bitter look on his face.

    "My lord, logically I shouldn't interfere in this matter, but if your lord goes to the streets of Jinyang and takes a look, you will probably be able to understand the king's mood"

    Originally, after the war, the entire city of Jinyang was very desolate. After all, countless people were displaced due to the war.

    The villages near Jinyang have basically been burned to the ground.

    After Tao Qing did this again, the number of refugees in Jinyang City suddenly increased by more than ten times in the recent period.

    Chen Qi saw these things and was anxious in his heart, but he had no choice. After all, Tao Qing was the Prime Minister sent by the imperial court.

    Without Liu Deng, even if he acted against the will, Chen Qi and his subordinates could only impeach him.

    "However, the memorials submitted to the imperial court from the vassal states every day may not add up to tens of thousands.

    He has submitted more than a dozen impeachment memorials, but to this day, there is still no movement from the court, not to mention Liu Deng, even Chen Qi is now full of complaints against the court.

    The more Chen Qi said this, the more embarrassed Zhidu became.

    He was able to handle this job well, but now it seems he is really getting the short end of the stick.

    Ask him to take Liu Deng¡¯s gold seal back, then?Is this equivalent to removing Liu Deng from his post on the spot?

    Are you kidding me?

    "Don't say it's him. Since Liu Deng inherited the throne, he has become a legitimate prince of the Han Dynasty.

    As long as he has no fault of his own, even the emperor cannot remove him from his post on the spot.

    Even if Wu, Chu and other countries unite to rebel and are eventually expelled by the emperor, the emperor still needs to go to the Ancestral Temple in person, offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and then expose their crimes to all parties, and finally be able to issue an edict and take back their gold seals.

    By putting on the current posture, Liu Deng has made it clear that even if he takes out the imperial edict, Liu Deng is not prepared to hand it over

    "Master Chen, I also know that this errand is not easy to handle. Your Majesty is very angry right now. I wonder if you can ask Master Chen to help you? I will send a flying pigeon to deliver a letter to His Highness the Crown Prince in three to five days at most.  There will definitely be a response from His Highness! If His Highness the King still has the same attitude as now, then this can be regarded as my best effort, how about that?"

    After sighing, Zhi Du also looked helpless and whispered to Chen Qi.

    "You should have heard of the King's temper. Not to mention me, I am afraid that even if His Royal Highness comes to persuade him, the King may not give him face at this time Didn't the King just say that in three days, the whole city will be punished?  The profiteers came together to watch the execution. I can only guarantee that Tao Qing will not die for three days. What will happen after these three days"

    When Chen Qi said this, he cupped his hands towards Zhidu and did not continue talking.

    "In that case, thank you very much, Mr. Chen!"

    Zhi took a deep breath. Anyway, we have reached this point now. Liu Deng even took out the gold seal. Even if he puts out the imperial edict, he will still resist it.

    "I have done everything I can do. Now, whether this old boy Tao Qing lives or dies, it depends on His Highness the Crown Prince!"

    "My lord, you're welcome. It's getting late today. My lord has been very tired from traveling all the way. I think it's better to go to the inn and rest first!"

    Chen Qi also bowed his hand in return and said to Zhi Du.

    ¡°Then it¡¯s my fault, Mr. Chen!¡±

    After Zhi finished speaking, he followed Chen Qi directly to the post house to rest.

    Not long after they left the palace, Zou Yang, who was tired of traveling, was finally ordered to rush back to the palace.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
