In order not to cause a sensation, Liu Deng went around from the backyard garden to his study room, changed into clean clothes, and then returned to his room.
Du Ziteng, on the other hand, hurriedly led a group of Jinwu Guard soldiers and rushed out of Chang'an City.
Of course, the external excuse was that a valuable item was lost in the palace, and the two stupid thieves went directly southward along the Weihe River.
The boat capsized halfway, so we asked the soldiers of Jinwu Guard to assist in the investigation.
With Liu Deng's current popularity, naturally the captains on duty at Jinwu Guard wouldn't even be able to beat him for such a small favor.
However, as soon as Jin Wuwei's front leg was launched, the news of the rear leg had already spread throughout Chang'an City, and the spread became more and more evil.
At the beginning, the nobles were still speculating on what Liu Deng had lost. They mobilized so many troops at night to pursue him all the way along the Wei River.
Later, I don't know how it was passed around, but it turned out that one of Liu Deng's concubines was abducted. Then, His Highness Daiwang was furious and ordered that she be traced along the way.
The news became more and more evil. By daybreak, there were already more than ten versions of the news received in the East Palace and the Imperial Palace. The most evil one was that the princess of the Huns had been rescued.
He even made up a fictional princess's lover, who was said to be a man of love and justice.
So much so that even the crown prince Liu Qi had some faith in him, and even sent a servant over to ask what was going on?
After searching all night, no body was found, and rumors began to spread throughout Chang'an City. Liu Deng immediately understood in his heart that it seemed that the two scourges must have escaped and ascended to heaven.
But this is not surprising. After all, this guy is a descendant of Xu Fu. If he was killed so easily, it would be a bit strange!
"Forget it, I'll write a letter to Wang Huanzhi. You can find someone to send it to you immediately. Let's end this matter and pretend it never happened. In addition, let our manpower start to seize the time to control!"
"promise!"
After much thought, Liu Deng still felt that there was something uneasy about Chang'an City.
But if he returns to Jinyang at this time, his identity is too sensitive, and it is easy for the emperor to have some bad suspicions.
But if the world is so big and he doesn't return to Jinyang, where can he go?
"Huh?"
As he was thinking about this, Liu Deng suddenly remembered the piece of hair that the emperor had rewarded to him - the old place where he had no time to wait!
He really hadn't noticed where this place was, but after the emperor rewarded him, the relevant procedures and documents had already been given to him, but he hadn't had time to look at it himself.
After remembering this incident, Liu Deng immediately started rummaging around in the study. After searching for a long time, he finally found the scroll given to him by the emperor in a sandalwood box.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang Tu Zhang Taibao is here to visit. He is now in the gatehouse. I don't know if you are..."
Liu Deng was restless throughout the night, and most of the nobles in Chang'an City stayed up all night with him.
Unexpectedly, the sun had just come out, and Zhang Tu came directly to the door.
Although Zhang Tu has now been promoted to Taibao, there is really nothing to boast about such an overt promotion.
In addition, Liu Deng has been delayed in returning, so he has been delaying it with excuses until Tao Qing arrived a few days ago.
He then handed over the power in his hands and set off for Chang'an.
"Master Taifu!"
After many days, when he saw Zhang Tu again, Zhang Tu had been promoted, which made Du Ziteng feel a little sad.
"I'm not a master now..."
Although he was promoted, Zhang Tu was now completely ignored. Returning to Chang'an after many years made him have the urge to retire and return to his hometown.
"Once a teacher, always a father! You will always be Liu Deng's tutor!"
Before Zhang Tu finished speaking, Liu Deng spoke.
"Your Majesty!"
"This is not the place to talk, let's go in and talk!"
Finally saw Liu Deng get married. Although he did not have the opportunity to attend Liu Deng's wedding in person, it still made Zhang Tu tearful.
Liu Deng let him go all the way to the study. After the two of them chatted in the study for a long time, Zhang Tu calmed down a little.
"The king does not need to worry about Jinyang. Even if he now occupies the position of Prime Minister, the officials below are all our people. He will not be able to take advantage in a short time!"
Zhang Tu introduced the news about Jinyang to Liu Deng, and finally made a summary.
"I'm not worried about Jinyang, but over there in the Hutuo Valley..."
The ups and downs in the officialdom are actually normal, but in a short period of time, it is impossible for the officials of Dai State to turn against Tao Qing.
After all, Tao Qing couldn't afford what Liu Deng gave them.
After passing the binding of the commercial bank, all officials are vested interests. As long as they work for one day, they will naturally enjoy the dividends Liu Deng brings to them.
Even if it is to protect their own interests, they will not allow anyone to destroy this alliance.
When the entire officialdom of the Dai Kingdom was monolithic, what could he do with Tao Qing as the prime minister?
On the other hand, in the Hutuo River Valley, Su Jian and Zou Yang had the lowest recognition of themselves.
In addition, Su Jian was directly transferred to Chang'an by himself. Until now, Zou Yang has the final say in the entire Hutuo Valley.
Liu Deng was really afraid of this guy Zou Yang and couldn't resist the temptation...
You know, those sweet potatoes in the Hutuo River Valley are now really related to the fate of the entire Dai country!
"In the short term, the king over in the Hutuo Valley can rest assured. I made a point of explaining this matter to Wu Guoxiang before resigning. He is also a veteran of Daiguo, so he should know the importance!"
Zhang Tu lowered his voice and said.
"This makes me feel relieved. In the recent period, several good families in Chang'an City will send some food. With this food at the bottom, at least, we should be able to survive before January next year!"
According to Liu Deng's original plan, he could almost return to Jinyang after the twelfth lunar month. After all, the autumn and winter seasons were the peak of the Huns' invasion.
As a great king, he is not in the country. If there is a change in the country or the city is captured, even the emperor will not dare to bear the consequences!
"By the way, Master Taifu, have you ever heard of Bu Qihou's hometown?"
While the two were talking, Liu Deng suddenly remembered his doubts just now and hurriedly asked.
"This veteran naturally knows that Bu Qihou's hometown is located in the original Qi State, which was later split to Jiaodong State, that is, it is near Langya County and Bu Qi County. Why does the king ask this?"
