At the banquet, nothing major was announced or happening.

Everything was ordinary, like an ordinary family gathering.

However, this in itself shows that the banquet is not ordinary, and every time the emperor summons his sons to gather, something will inevitably happen, at the banquet, either praising a prince or reprimanding another, there are rewards and punishments, and there are changes.

But, this time, nothing happened.

The emperor just called the princes over, everyone chatted together, gossiped, and watched the singing and dancing, and it didn't take long for Emperor Du Zhen to let the princes who were worried disperse, so that when they left, everyone was confused.

Of course, in the end, there is a change.

After the princes returned to the camp, they immediately sent their henchmen around to find out the news.

An hour later, the princes also got new news.

Soon after they returned to the camp, the emperor sent his henchmen to the camp of several of the princes to issue a decree, which punished no one and was a reward, and a very great reward.

The first to receive the reward was Junnan Jun Du Xu.

Zhao Wang Du Tao's eyeliner is all over the court, and he is especially concerned about Du Xu, the king of Zhongnan, this is his biggest competitor, so as long as there is a slight change in Du Xu, someone will pass on the information, and he will never dare to slack off.

In the past, there was a guy he trusted very much, and Du Tao asked him to be in charge of the intelligence on Du Xu's side.

Last year, late at night on August 15, Du Xu suddenly left the Ten Princes' Mansion and led a group of guards to the head of the imperial city, he invited a few people to admire the moon at the head of the city, which is a very ordinary thing, those people are also Du Xu's friends, usually often party, and there are no unexpected people, and Du Xu, who has always been silent and low-key, occasionally indulges and moves as he likes.

That night, Du Tao also admired the moon in the palace with his henchmen, and after the banquet, he slept in a very favorite concubine's room.

That person was afraid of disturbing Du Tao, so he didn't go to see Du Tao as soon as he got the news, but waited for Du Tao to wake up in the early morning of the next day before sending the news.

It didn't take long for the man to be transferred out of his job, and after a while, he was gone.

The palace said that this person was assigned to other secret posts, but the truth of the matter is that this person was personally tortured to death by Du Tao in the wilderness, and then thrown in a mass grave to feed wild dogs.

Not many people know about this.

However, the secret intelligence officers of Zhao Wangfu also know about this matter, only these few henchmen know Du Tao's true nature, what is like a spring breeze, what is a virtuous king, all of them are bullshit, he is a cautious guy who will repay him,

No matter what time it is, as long as it is information related to Du Xu, it must be reported to Du Tao as soon as possible, as for whether this information is useful or useless, it can only be judged by Du Tao.

This time, the intelligence officers did not slack off, and told Du Tao the news of the inquiry as soon as possible.

At that time, Du Tao didn't say anything, and said with a blank face that he knew.

After everyone left, only Du Tao was left in the whole room, and he revealed his true temperament.

Du Tao took off his shirt and took out a wattle from a box in the corner of the room, and then, facing the wall, knelt on the ground, and then he picked up the wattle and slapped his back hard.

He didn't use his true qi, nor did he use all his strength, but he was beaten hard, and the thorns hit his back, leaving deep red marks, and the simple pain of the flesh made Du Tao clench his teeth and look hideous.

The thorn strip is specially made, woven from the thorn grass from the great desert, this thing, pumped on the human body, full of pain, if ordinary people are pumped, they will be painful to death, only in this way can he feel the pain, otherwise, even if he is not lucky to resist, ordinary thorn strip is pumped, his body of a warrior will not have pain.

Now in this environment, he has no way to put on makeup to go out and torture and kill others, so he can only use this way to control the darkness in his heart.

A stream of black gas appeared on him like a long snake, and with a whip, the black gas suddenly dissipated, and after a while, it resurfaced again, as stubborn as psoriasis, and it couldn't be completely broken.

The only way to keep whipping it down!

King Qin!

It's actually King Qin!

Du Tao's heart was like being gnawed by a poisonous snake, the pain exceeded the physical pain, yes, no matter how the thorn grass weaved could make people physically painful, it couldn't compare to the pain in his heart.

The news he got was that the emperor asked Linghu Xingzhi to come forward in person, first went to the camp of Du Xu, the king of Zhongnan, and then asked Du Xu to put down the incense case and receive the holy decree with a very grand ceremony, and the content of the holy decree was only one, that is, to canonize Du Xu, the king of Qin.

King Qin!

In the Tang Empire, there was only one King of Qin, and that was Taizong.

In addition to the crown prince, only the title of King Qin is the most noble, so all along, the title of King Qin has never been given to the princes, from the Taizong Dynasty to the present, even if the Queen of Heaven is in the middle of the dynasty, no one has been canonized as the King of Qin.

Now, the emperor actually named Du Xu the king of Qin.

What does this signal mean?

It also means that the emperor is no longer afraid of the Guo family, and he has no fear, otherwise even if Du Xu is crowned king, it is impossible to crown him as the king of Qin, which also means that Du Xu officially stepped onto the stage and became one of the heirs to the throne.

King Qin!

Is it really destiny that is not in me!

Du Tao inevitably remembered the scene in the secret realm, which was also an unforgettable pain!

In his opinion, this Du Xu must have obtained the opportunity of dragon qi, so he has luck, so he was named the king of Qin by the emperor, and almost went directly to the throne, the next step is not to kick his mother down from the position of the queen and replace it with Concubine Gu, with this step, and then abolish the position of the eldest brother and the crown prince, and push that Du Xu directly, he does this, is he not afraid that his uncle will raise the anti-flag?

"Ah......h

As soon as the whip fell, Du Tao opened his mouth and let out a silent cry.

At this time, a voice came from outside.

"Your Highness, Chief Linghu went to Handanjun's camp, and there was a message ......"

"Say ......"

Du Tao's voice was a little flat, just like before, and he didn't leak the slightest emotion.

"Your Highness......"

The voice outside the door paused for a moment, so Du Tao knew that this was another very unfavorable news for himself, but he did not urge, but silently waved the thorn and pulled it down, the thorn fell on the back, silently, a red mark was deeply imprinted, and dozens of other red marks were intertwined, and the whole back was like a red measles, looking at it, it was very dazzling.

After a pause, the voice sounded.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty decreed that the title of Handan Jun of the Thirteenth Highness will be removed and canonized as ...... Canonized as King Zhao! ”

King Zhao?

Misheard!

Of course you heard it right!

In an instant, darkness enveloped Du Tao's whole body, writhing like a demonic phantom, Du Tao gritted his teeth and accelerated the speed of waving the thorns, the thorns were like phantoms, and he couldn't see the trajectory of movement clearly, and his back had turned into a red spot.

Father!

What do you want?

Is this to cause the son to die?

In Du Tao's view, Handan belongs to Zhao, so Du Rui was named King of Zhao, but he is the King of Zhao, which means that he was stripped of his honorific title without greeting him.

What's next?

Du Tao inexplicably had expectations.

The black shadow shrouded deeper, and the thorn strips made of thorn grass were drawn on the body, and it was no longer able to suppress the black shadow!

In that case, why don't you just let that guy out?

really reached that point, there was no hope, and Du Tao did not refuse to be completely blackened.

In this way, Du Rui also has an adventure in that secret realm!

At that time, there were several groups of dragon energy, among them, there must have been a group obtained by this guy, otherwise, the emperor would not have named him the king of Zhao, this is for him to build momentum, is this guy really a child of destiny?

From this point of view, it is necessary to increase the intelligence search for Du Rui.

We must pay attention to this kid, in history, it is not an example of a powerless guy who has no descendants to ascend to the throne.

Next, I think I'm coming to my own camp, right?

After all, if you deprive yourself of the title of King Zhao, you have to give yourself an explanation, right?

Taking a deep breath, Du Tao ran the Ichthyosaurus Mind Change Method, after the true qi was running, the wattle was useless, and after a while, the red spots on the back completely dissipated, Du Tao put on the official costume of the prince and sat in the house.

After a while, the voice outside the house sounded again.

"Your Highness, Chief Linghu is coming towards the camp with the guards......"

"Got it!"

Du Tao responded.

Even if the ichthyosaurus becomes true qi and operates, even if the golden light ripples on its body, faintly having a dragon shape, the black qi still appears from time to time, and even the golden dragon-shaped true qi is coated with a faint layer of black, like a black dragon.

After a few more moments, a voice rang out from outside.

"Your Highness, Chief Linghu is only one mile away from the camp!"

Du Tao took a deep breath.

The golden true qi suppressed the black qi, and he stood up and said loudly.

"Open the middle door, put the incense case, and welcome the Chinese envoy ......"

Not long after, Ling Hu Xing and his entourage came to the center of King Zhao's camp, in front of King Zhao's big tent, at this time, the incense case had been put down, all kinds of flags were fluttering, and Du Tao was standing solemnly in front of the big tent.

Good?

Bad?

The will of the will determines his choice!

In his opinion, since he has been stripped of the honorific title of King Zhao, then, what he faces next must not be good news, in this world, there is no noble person who can't find a flaw, if you want to punish the crime, there must be a reason, not to mention, even if there is no reason, there is a trumped-up charge.

It's like that famous saying.

Perhaps?

And if you arrest yourself and put yourself in prison?

Well, it's no wonder to yourself!

At that time, he was going to completely blacken and release that guy......

Linghu Xingzhi stood in front of the incense case and slowly opened the holy decree.

This holy decree is locked with a talisman array, and it can only be opened with true qi.

Because the situation of the Holy Decree that has been opened is completely different from that has not been opened, it is impossible to peek at the content of the Holy Decree in advance.

The content of the holy decree is not much, and after opening it, Ling Hu Xingzhi also understands the content.

At this time, he looked surprised and hesitated for a moment before he began to recite.
