Although the official road from Chang'an to Jinyang has been straightened three times, it is still more than 1,200 miles long, and many of them are mountain roads with steep terrain and long disrepair.
In three days, he traveled all the way from Chang'an to Jinyang, and he probably didn't even close his eyes...
"The master said that this letter must be delivered to you as soon as possible, so I didn't dare to delay on the way. Even eating was done on horseback!"
Dou Zhong said somewhat honestly.
"Come here, take him down to rest first, and then prepare fifty taels of gold for him!"
After just glancing at the contents of the letter, Liu Deng put down the letter in his hand and greeted Du Ziteng outside the door.
"Your Majesty, you can't do this! I just sent a letter, and I don't deserve such a generous reward from your Majesty..."
Liu Deng's words shocked Dou Zhong, and he quickly waved his hands and said.
"If I say it's worth it, it's worth it. Okay, you can go down and rest first! This is what I reward you with, so just take it and keep it! I will remember your friendship!"
Liu Deng stood up, stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and helped him tidy up the weeds in his hair.
Although he had already made preparations to return to Chang'an and confess to the emperor face to face.
But whether it is Shen Tujia or Dou Ying, he must recognize this favor!
Looking at this unattractive man in front of him, Liu Deng was really surprised that he had a love for talent.
There are too many capable people in this world, but very few loyal ones.
In three days, he rushed from Chang'an to Jinyang. He was risking his life. Fifty taels of gold was really not enough to reward his kindness!
"Big, big king..."
When the word "love" was mentioned, Dou Zhong's eyes turned a little red.
After Dou Zhong left, Liu Deng was sitting alone in the study, thinking wildly. Liu Deng suddenly discovered that people at this time were really very simple. Simple to the point that if you treat them well, they will naturally return ten points to you!
In their simple world view, a favor should be reciprocated. This is their bottom line as a human being. Under the strong universal moral outlook, intrigues are definitely despised by others.
On the contrary, the scholars in this world have read more principles, and their minds have become more vivid, and they have the ability to use any means to do things!
Therefore, people often lament that there are always people who slaughter dogs if they are righteous, and there are always scholars who are unfaithful.
If you think about it this way, is it right or wrong to forcefully promote Mengxue?
"Your Majesty, the three elderly people in the other courtyard are clamoring to see you. Even the Grand Tutor is scolded by them. He is now standing in the sun in the other courtyard. Do you want to go over and take a look? "
When Liu Deng was about to write a reply, Du Ziteng came in with a strange look on his face and said.
"Who do you think is standing in the sun? Master Taifu? Why?"
How could those three old men, who were obsessed with learning every day, have the heart to teach Zhang Tu a lesson?
The revision work of their three books has just been completed. At this time, the three old men should be staring hard at their books, right? Where do you find the time to deal with Zhang Tu?
"This kid is not sure. The person who just came to report the news didn't explain it clearly for a long time. Do you think?"
Du Ziteng said with some embarrassment.
"Prepare the carriage, let's go over and take a look!"
In any case, Zhang Tu is already so old. If he really shines in the sun, will it be possible for Liu Deng to handle all the affairs of the country by himself?
So in desperation, he could only rush to the other courtyard in person to see what kind of evil these three old people were doing...
"Tell me about your kid. As the Taifu of Dai, why don't you stop him? Now that he has caused such a huge disaster, how will you let him end?"
Before Liu Deng entered the other courtyard, he heard the voices of three old men lecturing Zhang Tu.
Only then did he realize that it was the three old men who had no information, and now he knew that he had caused a big disaster, so he brought Zhang Tu to teach him a lesson...
Although Liu Deng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he felt really warm in his heart. After all, they regarded him as their nephew.
Zhang Tu was really depressed. Without even seeing him, Liu Deng had already disappeared with him.
By the time he reacted and wanted to pursue him, Liu Deng had already led his troops away.
Zhang Tu himself was already old, and Liu Deng led all cavalry that time.
In addition, he was so angry that he traveled day and night, and Zhang Tu chased him for more than a hundred miles. He couldn't catch up, so he had no choice but to return.
But now, how can he explain to these three old men?
In any case, this matter was indeed a dereliction of duty on his part.
Therefore, he, the dignified Taifu of Daiguo, could only stand in the sun with his neck curled up, listening to three old men pointing at his nose and scolding him.
"Young man Liu Deng, I have met three elders!"
Liu Deng composed himself, quickly opened the door and walked in.
"You're finally here, kid. Why are you so confused this time?"
Fu Sheng, who had the hottest temper, couldn't bear it anymore and said to Liu Deng with a bitter look on his face.
"That's right, kid. After all, he's still a prince. Why do you just kill him when you say he's going to kill you?"
Uncle Gao also frowned, looking like he hated iron.
"I say to you two old guys, this man has already been killed. If you tell me he won't survive, you should just listen to the child and tell him what's going on!"
"Three elders, what we did this time was indeed a bit confusing. But seeing so many soldiers dying innocently and tragically, we couldn't hide the anger in our hearts, so we did this kind of stupid thing, which caused the three elders to suffer. I’m worried about Liu Deng!”
In any case, these three old men were kind-hearted this time, and Liu Deng should thank them both emotionally and rationally.
So he simply straightened his clothes and bowed to the three old men seriously.
"Stop talking about these useless things. We three old guys don't have any other abilities. We just have a few disciples in this sect. This is the letter we wrote. Please find someone to send it to me!"
The three old men looked at each other. Fu Sheng shook his head, then took a wooden box from the table nearby and handed it to Liu Deng.
"this is ours!"
The remaining two old men also followed suit...
Seeing the kindness in the eyes of the three old men, Liu Deng felt his nose sore for no reason...
"Three elders, I understand your kindness. It's just that this matter is too big. It's better for you three not to get involved..."
"Why are you being so polite to us? The three of us are already this old, are we still afraid of the emperor's blame? Don't worry, even if the sky falls, we three old men will take care of it for you first!"
Han Zhi stroked the few beards under his chin and said with a smile.
"That's right, this is a great kindness! It's just that King Zhao died. What's the big deal?"
The corner of Zhang Tu's mouth twitched, "Damn it, you three old guys, that's not what you just said..."
Looking at the three wooden boxes in front of him, Liu Deng felt hopeless and wanted to cry for a while. It seemed that he was really wrong, and he was so wrong. In fact, friendship really has nothing to do with how much reading he has done. .....
