Although he knew in his heart that doing so would not bring him any benefit, and might even bring him countless troubles, he still wanted to seek justice for the soldiers who died under his command.
Since Liu Deng is in Suiyang City, it is impossible for her not to know about such a farce, but now he really has no time to care about such nonsense.
"Is this news reliable?"
Liu Deng's face was full of solemnity, and the thin piece of paper in his hand now made him feel uncomfortable all over.
"Reporting to your Majesty, the dozen or so caravan groups we sent out have all confirmed this news. I'm afraid it's true!"
Su Jian said softly.
Liu Deng couldn't help but frowned. He was too careless.
Just over a month after they put down the rebellion, the Huns went out in force. Three hundred thousand Huns were almost like a torrent, sweeping across almost the entire Western Region countries.
In the recent period alone, the number of slaves from the Western Regions they captured back to the grasslands reached 200,000!
For Liu Deng, this is really not good news.
With this population, it will take at most three to five years for the Huns to return to a state of strong soldiers and horses.
The Huns are different from the Han people. No matter how cruel the Han people are, they will always give them a bite to eat when they treat their slaves.
When the Huns were short of food, they would even put their slaves directly on the grill. After they were cooked, they were euphemistically called two-legged sheep!
This news has already bothered Liu Deng a lot, but what bothers him even more is yet to come.
Zhang Tu also sent a letter along with the secret message, and documents were sent from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Because of this contribution, Zhang Tu was directly promoted to Taibao.
Moreover, rumors spread that because Zhang Tu was old, he would select another worthy person in the court to provide a prime minister for the country.
This was clearly an overt promotion and covert demotion, directly taking away all Zhang Tu's rights. This was what worried Liu Deng the most.
The reason why he is able to wander around the world now is because of loyal officials like Zhang Tu and Chen Qi.
The imperial court photographed a prime minister at this time, which made it clear that he was here to seize power.
Although Zhang Tu didn't say anything in his heart and just announced the news very calmly, Liu Deng understood that Zhang Tu was waiting for his answer.
If he insists on insisting, Zhang Tu will not hand over power so easily, but this also means that from now on, they may also follow the old path of Wu State.
"General Su, please go back and rest first. I am a little tired. Let me think about this matter."
Liu Deng couldn't discuss this matter with Su Jian. At this time, he really wanted to hear Zhang Shisan's opinion, but it was a pity that this old man was thousands of miles away.
"promise!"
Su Jian also understood that what happened next was beyond his control, so he bowed his hand to Liu Deng and then retreated.
The smoke everywhere has not dissipated, and now they are about to seize power, which makes Liu Deng feel really uncomfortable.
Although he was not a man who clung to power, their approach was really unacceptable to Liu Deng.
"Someone's coming!"
After deliberation for a long time, Liu Deng directly called Du Ziteng in.
"What is your order, Your Majesty?"
"You should rush back to Jinyang in person immediately and tell Master Taifu that no matter what happens, everything will wait until the king comes back. Before I come back, Master Taifu must help me take care of Jinyang City."
"promise!"
Although Du Ziteng didn't understand why Liu Deng did this, he still carefully wrote down every word Liu Deng said, then turned and left with an arched hand towards Liu Deng.
"Since you want to play, let's just have fun!"
Although Liu Deng still doesn't know who is fanning the flames behind the scenes, this decree is definitely not written by Shen Tujia.
Liu Deng is still very confident about this. That old fox Shen Tujia will not do such a thing.
But I believe that the mystery of all this will be revealed soon. After he arrives in Chang'an City, the master behind the scenes will be able to show his face!
At this moment, the whole city of Chang'an was full of busy scenes.
The emperor personally issued an order to renovate one of his villas in Chang'an City and then give it to Liu Deng.
The queen was also busy, waiting for Liu Deng to complete the wedding after he returned to Chang'an.
This can be regarded as the emperor's reward for Liu Deng. The entire Dou family and all the slaves were rotated like windmills by Dou Pengzu.
This marriage has already attracted the attention of everyone in Chang'an City before it even started.
"Your Majesty, Master Tao is here!"
"Let him in!"
After hearing Wang Deyi's voice, Liu Heng slowly put down the bamboo slips in his hand.
Although the price of paper has dropped significantly, there are still countless ancient books that only have bamboo slip versions.
"My lord, Tao Qing, the Marquis of Kaifeng, has met Your Majesty!"
After Tao Qing entered the palace, he bowed directly to Liu Heng and saluted.
"sit!"
Although Liu Heng's body is getting better, he is still a little weak, which makes his face still look a little pale.
"Your Majesty, you are not in good health yet, and you still need a good life to support you!"
Tao Qing said with concern.
"My body is no longer in the way. This is an old problem. I know that I may not have much time left!"
When talking about death, Liu Heng looked relaxed and seemed not to care at all.
"Your Majesty! You must not think like this! You are in your prime now, and you are my great emperor. With the blessing of heaven, you are just caught by the cold. You must not think like this!"
Tao Qing hurriedly knelt on the ground and burst into tears as he spoke. If nothing else, his acting skills were definitely at the level of a movie king!
"Okay, get up first. I know my own affairs. I came to you today because I have something to talk to you about."
Liu Heng said weakly with a playful smile on his lips.
"If your Majesty has any orders, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Tao Qing said quickly.
"Shen Tujia offered to retire yesterday. He said that he was overwhelmed and could only sleep for less than an hour every day. He wanted to go home and take care of himself!"
When the emperor said this, he deliberately slowed down his speech and looked at Tao Qing's expression carefully.
When Tao Qing heard this, he was overjoyed. What did the emperor mean by discussing this issue with him at this time?
Isn't this already obvious?
"I'm thinking that he has been suffering for so many years, and it's time for him to rest..."
