The System finally gave Su Che a second mission.
Compared to solving the case of Princess Changle's disappearance, Su Che was more confident in this case.
Now, not only did he have peerless strength, but he also had two peerless talents under him. Whether it was Song Ci or Shangguan Wan 'er, they were both rare geniuses.
Li Shimin was pleased to see that Su Che had accepted this difficult case without hesitation.""Zhen indeed did not misjudge the person. Su Qing is not even twenty years old but already knows how to share the king's worries.”
For cases involving diplomacy, the ministers had always been evasive and no one was willing to take over.
This case was fraught with danger. The murderers were basically all barbarian experts who had no fear of the imperial envoys of the Great Tang. They were ruthless and unpredictable. If they were careless, the case would not be solved and they would lose their lives.
Moreover, even if such a case was solved, the rewards given by the imperial court would be extremely limited. This was because once the murderer was found, the Great Tang would once again declare war.
Regardless of whether the killer was the Tibetans or the Turks, the Great Tang had to declare war in order to maintain its prestige. And as the person who ignited the fuse of war, the " case-breaker " would also be in an awkward position.
Therefore, as long as it involved diplomatic matters, it had always been very difficult. No one was willing to take on such a task.
Su Che's acceptance of the case was exactly what Hou Junji had hoped for.
After hearing Li Shimin's decision, Wei Zheng and Cheng Yaojin were worried for Su Che, but they didn't say anything.
However, Hou Junji stepped forward and solemnly said,"Your Majesty, the murder of the Tuyuhun diplomatic mission has caused panic in the other small countries. The diplomatic missions of Anxi, Dawan, Shu-lik, and Qiuci have been too frightened to go to the capital. Please send an imperial envoy to appease them. At the same time, he will supervise Langya County Duke to solve this case and appease these small countries 'diplomatic missions.”
Xue Zhili, Zhang Liang, and the others walked out."We agree. Crown Prince Manor Zhan Shi Helan Chushi was young and promising, he could be an imperial envoy to go and comfort him. Firstly, it represents the importance of the Crown Prince of the Great Tang. Secondly, he could also train his subordinates in the Eastern Palace.”
Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and the other old foxes frowned. Hou Junji's intentions were clear. This was clearly to snatch credit. Helan Chushi was Hou Junji's son-in-law, and if he became the imperial envoy, he would definitely hinder Su Che's investigation.
If there was merit, then Helan Chushi would take half of it. If there was a black pot, then the most dangerous investigation and arrest would be done by Su Che.
This was simply the biggest joke in the world.
Wei Zheng was just about to remonstrate when Cheng Yaojin walked out and scolded Xue Zhili and Zhang Liang,""You two old thieves, your plan is really good. I, Old Cheng, can't stand it anymore. You're obviously going to snatch the credit and extort a sum of money from the local officials, right?”
Cheng Yaojin spoke so bluntly that Xue Zhili and Cheng Yaojin were speechless.
When Wei Zheng saw this, he also walked out and said," Your Majesty, you are wise. Langya County Duke is investigating the case according to the imperial edict. If there are any more obstacles around him, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient. Your Majesty, please think twice."”
Li Shi Min nodded his head, then looked at the silent Crown Prince Li Chengqian,"Crown Prince, what do you think?"
Crown Prince Li Chengqian was handsome, thin and dignified. Because he was weak, his face was a little pale. He said politely,"It's all up to Father. However, Helan Chushi was quite talented and experienced in handling matters. If he could gain some experience, it would be the best for the Eastern Palace.”
Li Shi Min had always doted on his children. When he heard his son's words, he smiled and said,"Since the Crown Prince is willing to send people to greet those diplomatic envoys, that would be great. That Helan Chushi will be the imperial envoy to appease them. He will choose some luxurious clothes, jade food, silk and satin to appease those envoys from the small barbarian countries.”
Hou Junji, Zhang Liang, and the others gleefully glared at Cheng Yaojin, then quickly flattered Li Shiming."Your Majesty is wise. With the people of the Eastern Palace comforting them, I believe that those envoys will be grateful and their confidence will increase greatly.”
Su Che watched all of this with cold eyes. His heart was filled with anger. What was Li Er up to? If he had Helan Chushi by his side, how could he handle the case?
Thinking of this, Su Che said in a clear voice,"Your Majesty, if you send me to solve this case, please let me make the decision." If you send someone to supervise, I'll have to ask someone else.”
Su Che's words shocked the entire court.
No one expected the usually gentle and refined Su Che to directly insult the Tang Emperor in court. He even dared to say,"I'm sorry, but I can't comply."
Hou Junji and the others were the first to react. Suppressing their excitement, they angrily rebuked Su Che.
"Langya County Duke, are you openly disobeying the imperial edict? Are you worthy of His Majesty's trust in you?”
"You're simply too arrogant. Asking you to solve the case is to share the burden of the emperor, not to tyrannize the local area?”
…………
Wei Zheng and Cheng Yaojin were anxious,'Su Che has always been smart. Why did he lose his mind this time?'
Just as they were about to defend Su Che, Li Shimin suddenly stood up with his hair and beard standing on end. It was obvious that he didn't expect Su Che to openly challenge him in court."Good, very good. Is this the talent I admire?”
However, what was surprising was that just as everyone thought that Su Che was doomed, Li Shiming laughed like thunder again."As expected, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Su Che, give me a reason to let you go? Otherwise, based on what you said just now, I can chop off your head.”
Su Che's expression was still as calm as ever. He raised his eyebrows slightly and revealed a strong confidence."If no one restrains me, I will solve this case within five days.”
The moment he said that, all the officials were shocked.
"Alright, zhen will take it that you have given zhen a military pledge. Let's see if you can create another miracle.”Li Shi Min laughed loudly, and before the ministers could react, he ordered,"Order Langya County Duke Su Che to be the imperial envoy and be fully responsible for the destruction of the Tuyuhun diplomatic mission. Helan Chushi was only in charge of appeasing the diplomatic corps.”
