"Invite him in!"
The military minister Shan Yu took a deep breath and calmed down before speaking.
Just when the military officials Shan Yu and Tuosang were discussing the next step, news of King Zhao's death finally reached Chang'an City.
"W-what did you say?"
When he heard the news of the victory, Shen Tujia was completely stunned.
How is this possible?
King Liu Sui of Zhao conspired to rebel, led his troops to attack Guancheng, killed the officers and soldiers defending the city, and led three thousand cavalry along the way, galloping across the territory of Dai.
Finally, outside the city of Mayi, he was beheaded by the acting king Liu Deng. None of his three thousand men and horses were spared...
He really couldn't imagine how stupid this person would be to make such a mistake. Could it be that King Zhao Liu Sui had lost his mind and gone crazy?
"This is a document reporting victory. Please take a look at it, Prime Minister!"
Shen Tujia took a deep breath. After getting the mailbox, he hesitated but did not dare to open it directly.
This matter was really too big, no matter how much he tried to hide it, he couldn't hide it.
Even if he wanted to show favor to Liu Deng, he would not dare to show any favoritism in this matter. Who is King Zhao Liu Sui?
That was one of the princes of the Han Dynasty, and the Zhao State was also considered one of the famous big countries. Now that Liu Sui died, the court must have a clear attitude towards this matter.
Otherwise, the world will be in chaos.
If the safety of his life cannot be guaranteed, then everyone in the world must not be in danger!
Liu Xian, the crown prince of Wu Kingdom, was just smashed to death by Liu Qi with a chessboard in Chang'an City. The storm of this incident has not yet passed, but now something like this happened right after. What do the princes in the world think?
The timing of these two things happening is so coincidental that it makes people feel sad...
no!
He, the Prime Minister, cannot look at this!
He cannot bear this responsibility. The prince is still under house arrest. It seems that this matter can only be left to the emperor to make a decision...
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is outside asking for an audience!"
After returning from Daiguo, the emperor suddenly fell ill again due to the fatigue of the carriage and horses on the road, coupled with his already unsatisfactory health, and his anger towards the prince.
As for matters in the court, all matters in the court have been left to Shentujia to deal with recently. Shentujia, the prime minister, is quite stable.
Except for some particularly difficult things, they would hardly disturb the emperor's cultivation, so after hearing that Shen Tujia asked for an audience, Liu Heng immediately burst into a wry smile.
"Let him come in! Look at our Prime Minister, what happens this time that I, a sick man like me, need to deal with..."
"promise!"
Wang Deyi responded, then bent down and walked out, asking Shen Tujia to come in.
"Your Majesty, the acting king Liu Deng has sent good news. Zhao Wang Liu Sui rebelled and led three thousand cavalry to attack Guancheng, killing the soldiers guarding the city. They rushed all the way to Jinsuoguan and rushed to Mayi. Outside Mayi City, His Highness the acting king was killed on the spot. Killed, three thousand rebels under my command, no one survived! I don’t know how to deal with it, please give me your Majesty’s instructions!”
"You, you, what did you say? Who is plotting rebellion?"
Liu Hengteng immediately sat up from the hospital bed and asked with wide eyes.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is the good news sent by His Majesty the King. I dare not open it for reading, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to review it!"
Shen Tujia hurriedly handed over the good news sent by Liu Deng. This thing was now a hot potato. No matter how he did it, he would end up with nothing in the end.
Wang Deyi originally planned to pick it up, but before Liu Heng could step forward, he hurriedly stepped forward to grab the mailbox, and then came to the desk.
He took out the dagger from the table, cut the paint on the mailbox, took out the memorial sent by Liu Deng, and looked at it quickly.
After reading it, the emperor's face suddenly turned extremely ugly.
"Master Prime Minister, I wonder how you feel about this matter?"
After carefully looking at this three times, Liu Heng handed this thing to Shen Tujia proudly.
"Your Majesty, if King Zhao rebelled, how could he only lead three thousand cavalry...I thought..."
Shen Tujia considered his words. When he said this, he was really embarrassed and didn't know how to say the rest of the words.
This matter is too difficult. The princes and kings are rebelling. This is not something that can be easily determined.
If such a thing really happened, it would be recorded in the history of the country.
Any rebellion case will definitely end in a river of blood!
A few years ago, during the rebellion of King Liu Xingju of Jibei Province, tens of thousands of people died, and hundreds of thousands of people were beaten into slavery.
There were countless court officials involved, and such a major case shocked both the government and the public.
As long as the word "rebellion" appears, it will inevitably lead to corpses and rivers of blood everywhere. Once King Zhao is convicted of rebellion, then the entire Zhao Kingdom will be subject to the most severe purge.
I am afraid that all the people who have something to do with this matter are one by one, and in the end no one will end up well!
But if Liu Sui was not guilty of treason, then Liu Deng's treatment would be greatly inappropriate.
After all, according to the royal family's seniority, Liu Tun can be regarded as Liu Deng's uncle!
Even if he did something wrong, Liu Deng should have captured him alive and sent him to Chang'an to await His Majesty's handling.
He killed a prince without authorization, and this person was his elder. This was also a huge disaster.
What's even more troublesome is that Daiguo's army has repeatedly made military exploits, and the reward for Fu Shi's battle has not been distributed by the court until now.
In addition, Dai Guo's position is very special, and no one can take over Liu Deng's position. Dealing with Liu Deng at this time will shake the emperor's fundamental national policy...
So when it came to this, even though Shen Tujia was so cunning, he didn't know what to say.
"You all stand down!"
Liu Heng took a deep breath and waved all the eunuchs and maids waiting on the side to go out. If he calmed down, he didn't want the third person to hear it!
"promise!"
After Wang Deyi responded in a daze, he hurriedly led all the palace ladies and eunuchs out. He also closed the door of the main hall and directly dispatched Jinwu Guard soldiers to guard the door.
After hearing the footsteps outside all disappear, Liu Heng breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shen Tujia again.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, there are only two of us, the monarch and his minister, in this hall now. Tell me the truth, what do you think of Liu Deng?"
Shen Tujia's heart skipped a beat. The emperor finally asked this question. As expected, the emperor's heart was unpredictable...
