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

"Your Majesty, I, Lin Shirong, impeach the current general Tao Zhihong for his lack of moral integrity and conduct, and for not being worthy of being a general. I implore Your Majesty to take back his military power and order him to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors so as to set things right."

Censor Lin aggressively requested the emperor to punish Tao Zhihong.

Minister of Rites Gao Huaizhen echoed, "The Jingji Camp is indeed an important place for the court. As a minister of the Great Zhou, Tao Zhihong violated his personal ethics. Your Majesty should take back the military token in his hand and dismiss him from his post."

Humph, these people finally showed their true colors.

After all the scheming, it's all for the military token in his hand.

Tao Zhihong waited calmly for the emperor's attitude without looking around.

Emperor Jianchang cast his gaze towards Tao Zhihong and said with a hard heart, "Lord Tao, do you have anything else to say?"

He had no choice but to cut off his own arm and remove Tao Zhihong's military power.

Tao Zhihong cupped his hands and looked aggrieved, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Emperor Jianchang closed his eyes and motioned for him to continue.

"Excuse me, young man Li Hugua, was it me that you saw at the home of our neighbor, Young Master Qingfeng? This general is right in front of you, please take a closer look."

Li Hugua quietly raised his head and saw Tao Zhihong's tall and straight figure standing beside him with a smile on his face. Facing his instructions, there was not a trace of hidden resentment in his eyes.

Is this the great hero who defended the country and the great general?

He was not the same person he met who claimed to be Mr. Tao.

It's over. He helped someone to give false testimony and slandered General Tao's reputation.

Li Hugua realized this in an instant and was horrified.

Upon seeing this, Gao Huaizhen, the Minister of Rites, immediately spoke up and accused Tao Zhihong on behalf of Li Hugua: "General Tao, how dare you threaten Li Xiaoge in public? Don't you want him to identify you?"

Tao Zhihong was very disgusted with the group of civil officials in the court who were always scheming against each other.

He was a rough and crude military general, and had long been tired of the verbal battles and sword fights in the court.

But, since he had already returned to the capital, holding the military command, he had to attend court every day, facing those old ministers who were cunning and had eight hundred schemes. In the past, he just stood here and watched others have fun. Who would have thought that now he has become a joke in the eyes of others.

Fortunately, he was able to hear his daughter's thoughts and made arrangements in advance.

Otherwise, he will definitely fail this time.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty!" Tao Zhihong's attitude suddenly changed. He knelt down crying and confessed his crime to Emperor Jianchang.

Minister of Rites Gao Huaizhen glanced at the man kneeling on the ground with secret complacency.

As long as Tao Zhihong is brought down, the plans of the other princes will fail.

Tao Zhihong kowtowed to His Majesty and admitted his mistake, but it was all over. He missed the good opportunity and had lost His Majesty's favor.

The military talisman may not be kept.

When His Majesty appoints other people to take charge of the military power of the capital camp, he will have plenty of ways to replace them with his own people.

He broke the trap set by those people for the Second Prince. From then on, everyone stood on the same starting line and would succeed based on their own abilities.

Emperor Jianchang looked serious and asked, "My dear Minister Tao, why do you say that?"

"Your Majesty, I failed to discipline my child properly, which led to the discovery of my brother Tao Jingyu's keeping a male lover. Please punish me as a warning."

Tao Zhihong's words shocked others.

What? After all this time, Tao Zhihong did not admit that he made a mistake, but he took the blame for his brother.

Could it be that, as he said, it was his brother who made the mistake?

"General Tao, stop talking nonsense. It's clearly you who made the mistake. Why are you trying to involve your brother in this?" The Minister of Rites Gao Huaizhen rebuked him sternly.
