    "My lord, please come here!"

    With a satisfied smile on his face, Chao Cuo whispered to Tao Qing.

    Tao Qing hurriedly took a few steps forward, knelt down next to Chao Cuo, and stretched out his ears.

    "Sir, are you serious about what you say?"

    After a while, Tao Qing said solemnly.

    "Of course what I said is true. Do you think that I would make a joke about this kind of thing?"

    Although Chao Cuo had a faint smile on his face, it made Tao Qing shudder.

    "What if I fail?"

    Tao Qing hesitated, but finally said in a low voice.

    "I can only guarantee that you will not lose your life because of this!"

    Chao Cuo picked up the tea cup in his hand and drank the remaining tea in one gulp.

    "My lord, don't you think that His Highness the Crown Prince's conditions are a bit too harsh?"

    Tao Qing said with an ugly expression.

    "The Marquis is joking, is it possible that His Highness the Crown Prince asked you to do what you have come to this point? Having said that, Marquis, do you have any other way out now?"

    Chao Cuo looked proud.

    ¡°Can¡¯t the real power of a country be exchanged for a promise from His Highness?¡±

    Tao Qing roared angrily.

    "Master Marquis, pay attention to your wording. What you are holding in your hands now is just the position of Prime Minister. His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King are as close as father and son. Your Highness will not interfere. Do you understand?"

    Chao Cuo¡¯s face also became serious.

    "What a close person, as close as father and son!"

    Tao Qing¡¯s face was ugly and he said angrily.

    "I have brought the words. All the Crown Prince can do is to buy the Marquis half a year. After January next year, His Highness the Prince will return to the fiefdom. No one can stop him. As for the Marquis, he can get it.  How much power you have depends on the ability of the Marquis!"

    After Chao Cuo finished speaking, he cupped his hands directly towards Tao Qing, stood up and left without even looking at his ugly face.

    Chao Cuo left, and Tao Qing was even more depressed.

    Originally, he thought that he could take this opportunity to climb directly onto the prince's ship. Unexpectedly, he didn't want to have any trouble with him at all.

    At the very least, the prince is not even willing to see him in person until he can completely control the real power of the country!

    This makes the self-proclaimed Tao Qing feel inexplicably frustrated. However, Tao Qing also understands that after the failure of this speculation, he has been beaten by thousands of people.

    At this time, this opportunity, which is not considered an opportunity, has almost become his last choice.

    "Mr. Hou, it's late at night. Madam, please go back and rest early"

    Unconsciously, the night was already dark, and the old housekeeper of the Tao family whispered outside the door.

    "I know, let's get down!"

    Tao Qing¡¯s voice revealed endless exhaustion.

    Now that he has reached a dead end, unless he can take advantage of Liu Deng's absence to hold all the real power of the entire Dai country in his hands, he will never have any chance to turn around.

    Fortunately, the prince made it very clear through Chao Cuo. As long as he can control the actual power of the entire country, after the three-year term is over, he can be given another chance to attack the position of prime minister.

    "I will come back again!"

    After walking out of the study, looking at the brightly lit Weiyang Palace in the distance, Tao Qing took a deep breath.

    Liu Deng was in a surprisingly good mood. Although his arm was injured, he still managed to reply a letter to Dou Muyao.

    Although there is only a wall between them, picking up girls through the wall is really inexplicably exciting.

    Although Liu Deng was unable to attend the banquet, the emperor still sent someone to deliver more than a dozen large food boxes.

    Although Liu Deng was not interested, Liu Qian was different. She was already eighty percent full, but after seeing these dazzling dishes, she still couldn't help but eat.

    Although these are just a few food boxes, after the eunuchs left, all the servants in the palace felt high-spirited.

    It is normal for the emperor to give vegetables. Many times, it happens during festivals or other major celebrations.

    For those close ministers who are unable to be present, the emperor will always give a few dishes to show his favor. However, under normal circumstances, there are only three or five dishes at most.

    Like today, I was given a wholeThe table surface, this is really an unprecedented first time!

    Not to mention anything else, this favor alone is enough to make servants like them feel proud.

    Tomorrow is the court meeting, and the servants in the palace can't even wait for dawn and have already begun to work under Dou Zhong's instructions.

    This court meeting is extraordinary. Everyone knows that at this court meeting, the emperor will reward the meritorious soldiers in the battle to quell the chaos.

    This king is a well-deserved first achievement, and these servants can't wait.

    Early the next morning, before dawn, most of Chang'an City was already lit up by countless lanterns and torches.

    Liu Deng dislikes activities like the morning court very much. Fortunately, he does not need to participate every day. Otherwise, Liu Deng would probably rather resign than do it.

    ¡°Do you have to dress like this?¡±

    Liu Deng felt a toothache as he looked at the extraordinarily gorgeous uniform worn by princes and kings.

    Although it is already the beginning of autumn, the autumn tiger in Guanzhong is really a headache.

    Although this Yanfu is gorgeous, it is too heavy. There are seven or eight pieces inside and outside.

    ¡°If I wear this out, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll have to cover up prickly heat!

    "Your Majesty, the Shangyi Supervisor specially sent someone to deliver this last night. Dozens of their skilled craftsmen worked day and night to make it, just for today's ceremony!"

    Dou Zhong said with a smile on his side.

    "Deng'er, this is related to the dignity of our country, don't mess around!"

    What Liu Deng didn¡¯t expect was that the Empress of China also rushed over.

    "Mother, why are you here?"

    Liu Deng asked with a wry smile as he looked at the empress who was already fully dressed.

    "Today is your big day. Mom is worried about it. Please hurry up and change your clothes! It's getting late. The soldiers of Dai Kingdom are already waiting outside the door!"

    Looking at the heroic son in front of her, there were faint tears in the corners of the Queen Mother's eyes.

    "Change your clothes!"

    Liu Deng secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, just die. Anyway, he is just a tool today, and his words and deeds represent the entire country.

    With four maids and eight eunuchs waiting on him, it took a full quarter of an hour for Liu Deng to finish wearing the Yanfu.

    Although this thing is extremely uncomfortable to wear, fortunately it is still early in the morning, so it can be tolerated.

    "Your Majesty, it's getting late. It's time for you to set off. I've prepared some meals for you on the carriage. Your Majesty, be sure to use some!"

    He had just finished dressing, and Dou Zhong, who was staring at the hourglass, hurried over and whispered.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
