Mind Reading: The villain wins after hearing the princess's inner voice

"Your Majesty, General Tao is loyal to the country and has a sense of justice. He does not protect or shield his loved ones. I believe that General Tao is innocent and should not be punished."

"His nephew Tao Baichuan should be arrested and brought to justice. All the Qiancheng Pawnshops in the city should be sealed off. Catching the mastermind behind the rebellion is the top priority."

Censor Lin Shirong stood up and spoke for Tao Zhihong.

Emperor Jianchang was well aware of Tao Zhihong's performance.

This minister of his has always been loyal and upright. Over the years, he has always kept his word in front of him and has no ulterior motives.

Before this, people had already told him that they were not greedy for military power and wanted to retire.

It was because of his repeated attempts to keep the person that he was able to do so.

However, those people were not at all quiet and were determined to bring Tao Zhihong down.

They didn't even think about it. Without Tao Zhihong's deterrence, could those northern barbarians be as quiet as they are now?

Tao Zhihong is very straightforward in asking him to express his opinion.

People have already decided to back out.

The Great Zhou did have one or two generals who were capable of fighting, but Emperor Jianchang still needed a general with a great reputation like Tao Zhihong to stay behind the scenes and stabilize the situation on the border.

It was precisely because of Tao Zhihong's feat of leading tens of thousands of troops in a bloody battle against 300,000 northern barbarian cavalry and remaining undefeated that the enemy was deterred from stepping even a single step into the borders of the Great Zhou.

He couldn't let down the heart of a soldier who was loyal to his country.

No matter who is behind this, he will find them out and kill them.

"Your Majesty Tao has worked hard and made great contributions. You have been wronged. I will reward you with a great general's sword and a hundred war horses. Forget about your resignation. I need your assistance."

"Tao Baichuan was so bold and reckless that he forged a military token. Xiao Yuwei is responsible for detaining and trying him."

Emperor Jianchang's words shocked the court officials and they opened their mouths wide.

Wow, Your Majesty has gone to great lengths to retain and appease Tao Zhihong, the great general who defends the country.

War horses are in short supply in the Great Zhou.

The imperial court spent a huge sum of money to purchase the Blood and Sweat War Horses from merchants in the Western Regions. These horses were rare and expensive, with one Blood and Sweat War Horse being worth at least two hundred taels of gold.

These one hundred war horses are worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Your Majesty is so good to Tao Zhihong!

Moreover, Tao Zhihong was not held accountable for such a serious matter as his own nephew forging a military order to rebel.

If it happened to other people, if one person in a family committed treason, the entire family would be implicated and beheaded.

The ministers were no longer in a hurry to solve their physiological problems at this time, and they all stared at Tao Zhihong with envy.

Tao Zhihong no longer insisted and kowtowed to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness and reward!"

The chief eunuch held a magic dragon sword in his hand and handed it to Tao Zhihong personally.

Tao Zhihong took the sword respectfully and thanked him again, "I will live up to your trust, support your majesty, sharpen the will of the soldiers, defend the Great Zhou, and protect the people!"

After Tao Zhihong solemnly held the sword with both hands, thanked the emperor and stood up, Emperor Jianchang issued one order after another.

"Seal up the Qiancheng Pawnshop and find out the mastermind behind it. Also, investigate the child trafficking incident in the south of the city and the private soldiers in Funiu Mountain together. Xiao Yuwei will be fully responsible for handling these matters. Send people to Lingzhou in the northwest to thoroughly investigate the source and eradicate these traitors!"

Xiao Lichen and Deputy Commander Xiao Yuwei responded to the order together!

[Haha, the male protagonist has suffered a heavy loss this time. The pawnshop that helped him collect money and information is over. He has suffered a heavy blow this time, which will be enough to make him feel dark and depressed for a while.]

Tao Yuwei was in such a good mood that she wanted to sing "Xishashasha" loudly!

But at this time, she heard some bad news.

"Your Majesty, something has happened to the Queen Mother."
