Zhidu soon got the news of Liu Rong's death, and his first reaction was not to panic, but to quickly rush to the cell of the lieutenant's office.

It is common for a person to die in the cell of Zhidu, and there is nothing unusual, but this time it is extraordinary, the deceased is the eldest son of the emperor today, even if this kind of person is not favored, he cannot lose a single hair.

But now, the eldest son of the emperor is really dead, and he died in the cell of Zhidu.

No matter how Zhi Du is not afraid of heaven and earth, his career is facing the most severe challenges, and the consequences of the challenges are often to lose his official position and even punish the nine clans.

Zhi Du came to the cell where Liu Rong was being held, Liu Rong had been put down by the prison guards, there was an obvious bruise on his throat, a bruised lump appeared on his face due to suffocation, white foam was dripping from the corner of his mouth, his tongue was exposed, and there was no snort at all.

Zhi Du frowned and carefully examined Liu Rong's body, but with his experience in handling cases, Liu Rong undoubtedly hanged himself.

Zhi Du carefully searched the entire cell, but found nothing else unusual. He fixed his gaze on the blood book on the wooden table. He approached and skimmed through it, then put it away again.

Zhidu ordered additional officials to take care of the corpse, and he turned around and walked out of the cell.

He walked quickly to Weiyang Palace with Liu Rong's last letter.

Zhi Du had already prepared for the worst, he had long realized that such a day would come sooner or later, but it seemed to be coming a little sooner.

However, the truth is not as Zhidu thought.

When Liu Qi learned of Liu Rong's death, Liu Qi did not feel too sad except for showing a slightly surprised look.

It's hard to imagine that this is the expression on the father's face after hearing the news of his son's death.

Zhidu trembled and submitted Liu Rong's last letter, but Liu Qi only scanned it cursoly, and then ordered the chamberlain to pass on the decree and bury Liu Rong with royal rites.

Liu Qi was about to get up, but found that Zhidu was still kneeling in front of the hall.

What are you doing on your knees, doing your errands!

Zhi Du raised his head, half-open his mouth and stunned there, wanting to say something, what minister should be damned, His Majesty's condolences and changes and the like He had been brewing for a long time, it can be seen that Liu Qi's expression, as usual, how like someone who needs to mourn? ! It's himself, if he doesn't die, he has to be punished one by one, but the strange thing is that Liu Qi doesn't seem to want to scold and punish him.

Zhidu is also a little unbearable in his heart, even if there are more sons, you have to express it!

However, Uncle Zhi didn't dare to say it after all, and respectfully withdrew.

In a quiet desolation, Liu Rong was buried in Lantian and was nicknamed King Min.

If the matter is over, then Zhidu can be regarded as burning high incense and worshipping the Bodhisattva.

In fact, it is impossible for the matter to end like this, and Liu Qi does not intend to pursue it, which does not mean that others do not want to pursue it.

Dou Ying is one of them.

For the innocent death of the student, Dou Ying has always been uneasy.

Dou Ying and Zhi have no grudges, all Dou Ying has to do is to seek justice for his students.

Zhi must be responsible for things.

With such a mentality, Dou Ying, who had no power or position, decided to visit her aunt Empress Dowager Dou, who did not want to see her. And no one thought that his actions would do something that many people wanted to do but did not dare to do.

Under Liu Qi's deliberate concealment, Empress Dowager Dou did not know about Liu Rong's death.

When Dou Ying brought the news to the blind old lady, the old lady Dou really couldn't accept it for a while, she remembered this grandson who was alive and kicking in the past, but now she is separated forever, and she can't help but feel sad, and tears are sprinkled like beads with broken threads.

Call me the Emperor, go!

Empress Dowager Dou's almost crazy roar frightened the surrounding maids.

After a while, Liu Qi hurriedly came and asked urgently, "Why did the queen mother urgently summon her son?" ”。

What a good thing you did, you, you, hurry up and kill Zhidu for me!

Empress Dowager Dou's emotions looked extremely excited.

Liu Qi was also frightened for a while, the old lady rarely moved such a big liver fire.

The queen mother is angry, do you listen to your son's explanation?

I don't want to listen to explanations, I want Zhidu's life!

Liu Qi saw that the old lady was angry, and knew that it was useless to say more, so he could only reluctantly agree, so he withdrew.

Liu Qi thought about it all the way and was very embarrassed.

Leaving Zhidu makes the old lady angry, she will definitely not give up, and if she doesn't leave Zhidu, such a weapon for governing the country, the loyal ministers don't use it, it's really a waste.

Of course, this little thing will not be difficult for Liu Qi for a while, after all, he has been on the emperor's throne for many years, and it is not the first time that there have been strong winds and waves.

No matter what, Jingcheng Zhi can't stay, so the question is, where to let him go?

Soon, Liu Qi smiled.

He immediately wrote an edict to dismiss Zhidu, expel him from the capital, and send him home.

Zhi Du accepted this ending very calmly in the lieutenant's office, and for him, it was a blessing in misfortune that he did not lose his head.

He packed up his finesse and disappeared on the official road of Chang'an with a servant, a cart and a horse.

Liu Qi in the palace learned that Zhidu had left the city, and issued a secret decree, sending people to catch up with Zhidu and issue a second decree.

A little lonely Zhidu sat in a carriage, bumpy on the slightly muddy official road, although now there is no official and light, but there is always an indescribable taste lingering in my heart for a long time.

Suddenly, there was a puff of dust behind him, and a fast horse caught up and intercepted Zhidu.

When people look at the line, they know that they are the messengers of the palace.

The messenger ordered Zhi to accept the order, and Zhi Du hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. The envoy gave the secret decree to Zhidu, and then turned on his horse and left.

Zhi Du opened it and took a look, his heart was hot, the emperor treated me like a mountain!

He put away the secret decree and said to the servants: "Turn around north and go to Yanmen County!" ”

It turned out that Liu Qi arranged for Zhi to go to Yanmen County, where the border trouble was the greatest, to serve as the Taishou.

The local tyrants and gentry of Chang'an City unexpectedly sent away the goshawks, but the Huns of Yanmen County were miserable, because they would soon find out that the robbery was not a good deal.
