Chao Cuo didn't think so much about twists and turns, but saw Liu Deng's tears of compassion, and Du Ziteng on the side was even more admiring for his king.
King Wu is the most powerful prince among the princes. No one in the world dares to deny him face, but his own prince actually did it!
This courage alone is enough to attract people's attention. Coupled with the tears just now and the voice saying, "The people of my country are suffering!"
Du Ziteng was almost moved to tears by the king. Having such a good king is a blessing for the people of our country!
"Your Majesty, what you did today, aren't you afraid of King Wu's revenge?"
Chao Cuo suddenly asked.
"Lord Chao is joking, this is the Kingdom of Dai, and I am the King of Dai who was appointed by the imperial court. No matter how powerful the King of Wu is, he is just a vassal king. What should I be afraid of?"
The maid on the side quickly brought him a cup of tea, which saved his life. The taste of this wine was so damn scary!
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, there is a large portion of salt in Dai Kingdom, which needs to be provided by Wu Kingdom. Are you not afraid that he will really cut off your salt road?"
Chao Cuo asked with interest.
"Is there anything to be afraid of? I am already so poor now. What is there to be afraid of? The worst case scenario is that I will personally take the people to the Kingdom of Wu to beg for food!"
Liu Deng said with tears streaming down his face, “I don’t really want to cry, it’s just because my mother-in-law is so hot, I can’t stop crying!”
"Then, Your Majesty, why did you get into such trouble with King Wu? Aren't you causing trouble for yourself?"
Chao Cuo was even more confused. Although he wanted to see this scene now, it seemed a bit unbelievable!
"You don't know, this old boy has gone too far. He instigated the servants in my palace to steal things. Even the pillow I slept on was stolen into the warehouse of his business. You think this makes me How can the king endure it! Wuwuwuwu~~~"
As Liu Deng spoke, he covered his face with his big sleeves and began to cry loudly. Seeing that the king was crying, Zhang Tu was stunned for a moment, and then he also covered his face and began to cry.
Tian Chong just took a few sips of water when he suddenly saw the king and the tutor starting to cry. He immediately lifted up his big sleeves that had been mended with five or six patches and started to cry bitterly.
The officials were immediately confused. What kind of treat is this? Even if they eat wild vegetables, they won’t even give them a cup of tea. What’s going on now?
However, now that the big guys started to cry, they couldn't bear to watch. After looking at each other, they all lay on the ground, stuck their butts out and started to cry.
As for whether there were tears?
This kind of thing is not fair to outsiders. Anyway, everyone who has done this thing knows that tears are often squeezed out.
Chao Cuo was stunned for a moment. He was eating. Although the meal was not very good, he didn't cry like this!
"Your Majesty, why is this happening? Why is it happening like this!"
Chao Cuo hurriedly came up to persuade Liu Deng. Although he didn't know what was going on now, he couldn't watch Liu Deng cry like this!
"I first took charge of the Kingdom of Dai. However, the entire Kingdom of Dai was in devastation and it was difficult to support it. I didn't expect that I would be bullied by that old thief. If I didn't say this, it would be difficult for me to get rid of my hatred!"
Liu Deng was applauding himself in his heart. If he didn't get a little golden man for himself, he would really be sorry for himself!
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. After I return to the palace, I will definitely report all of Your Majesty's sufferings to His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Seeing Liu Deng speaking so emotionally, coupled with Gongsun Gui's arrogant look just now, Chao Cuo gritted his teeth and said.
"Thank you Master Chao! You are the reborn parents of the people of my country!"
Liu Deng said, covering his face again and crying bitterly.
The cries of the officials became louder. At this time, they were not fools, and they understood Liu Deng's meaning to some extent.
This king is really a thief!
You must know that the late king is the biological son of Emperor Wen. The matter of this white-haired man giving away a black-haired man is a human tragedy even among the people. In addition, his grandson is being bullied in this way. Can the emperor, a grandfather, really sit back and watch? Ignore it?
As long as the emperor's hand is relaxed a little, wouldn't the life of this country be much better?
The life of Daiguo was easy, so the life of civil and military officials like them was also easy!
The wailing lasted for a full quarter of an hour. It wasn't until Liu Deng was tired of crying that everyone stopped.
"Your Majesty, Gongsun Gui could not survive the torture and has passed away!"
At this moment, the guard outside the door came in in a panic and loudly reported.
"Why are you panicking? I just killed a disrespectful dog thief. I sent people to sweep him away with straw and throw him into a mass grave outside the city!"
Liu Deng said angrily.
"Your Majesty, this is not appropriate... After all, he is..."
Zhang Tu finished half of his words. Although he didn't say the rest, everyone understood what he wanted to say.
After all, he is the confidant of King Wu!
If we deal with it so hastily, it will be difficult to talk to King Wu in the future!
"You all saw just now that a mere guest of his dared to threaten me. If such a crazy person is not thrown away to feed the dogs, why should he be given a generous burial?"
Liu Deng is not afraid of offending the King of Wu now. He wishes he could become an enemy with the King of Wu!
He had been organizing his study these days, but he saw a lot of letters written to him by King Wu.
Who knows whether that old boy burned the letters his predecessor wrote to him during the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion. If I don't break up with him now, I'm afraid that my uncle will have to settle the score with me. !
"But Your Majesty, if this happens, I'm afraid King Wu will immediately cut off our salt road. If these people are short of salt, I'm afraid there will be big trouble by then!"
Zhang Tu said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter. I have my own plan. Don't we have the Great Salt Lake near Jinyang? Why ask them?"
Liu Deng thought for a while and then said.
"Your Majesty, you don't know something. Although our salt lake near Jinyang now supplies table salt, the salt coming out of the lake is really bitter. Even ordinary people who have some spare money don't want to eat it. Willing to buy this kind of thing..."
Zhang Tu didn't expect Liu Deng to actually have this idea. He originally thought this guy had some clever plan, but after talking for a long time, he felt happy for nothing!
"Your Majesty, don't act out of your own whim, you must put the overall situation first!"
Chao Cuo also hurriedly persuaded him, after all, even Guanzhong is in short supply of salt, and the court actually doesn’t have much salt in hand. If Liu Deng fully relied on the court for support, he would really be disappointed...
"What if I had a way to make the salt produced in this lake no longer bitter?"
A smile appeared on Liu Deng's lips.
"Your Majesty, do you really mean what you say?"
