Hearing this, everyone sat down.
This person was the Prime Minister, Zhang Jianzhi.
After a while, Wu Zetian leaned on the dragon throne and asked with a smile,"Today's matter only lacks one person in the hall. If this person is here, then things will go smoothly. Do you know who I am talking about?”
The officials discussed in hushed tones again, but no one understood what the empress meant. Only Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi smiled knowingly.
The empress had sharp eyes and immediately saw Zhang Jianzhi's expression."Looks like Jian Zhi already knows."
"Your Majesty, are you talking about Lord Di Renjie?" Zhang Jianzhi immediately replied.”
"Hahaha, you know me!" The empress laughed.”
The King of Liang, Wu Sansi, who was also the nephew of Empress Wu Zetian, immediately retorted,"Your Majesty, Di Renjie's crime is heaven-defying. If it weren't for Your Majesty's grace, he would have been smashed into pieces.”
Wu Zetian snorted lightly. She understood her nephew's thoughts clearly, so she said,"Is Di Renjie still in Pengze County?”
Zhang Jianzhi nodded.
"Di Renjie has been in court for six years. That's long enough. I-"
At this moment, a clear voice interrupted the conversation in the hall.
"Your Majesty, the Turkic diplomatic mission has arrived at the Vermilion Bird Gate!”
Wu Zetian's expression immediately turned serious as she looked at the officials,"He's here."
......
On the official road outside Jiangzhang County.
A courier blocked the road and stopped a group of soldiers.
"Generals, please wait a moment!"
The team stopped. The leading officer rode forward and asked with a frown,""What do you do?"
The reason why he didn't use his saber was because this person was wearing the uniform of a bailiff. Usually, this was a special situation.
The courier gulped and said anxiously,""May I ask if this is Lord Di's fight?”
Di Feng, who was sitting in the same car as Di Renjie, gave Di Feng, who was sitting at the door, a look. Di Chun quickly got out of the car.
"That's right. Who are you?”
Di Chun did not approach after getting off the car. Instead, he asked from afar.
"I'm a public official of Jiangzhang County. I have an urgent document to submit. Sir, please submit the 600-mile route that the Ministry of Justice forwarded to Lingzhou to Lord Di as soon as possible.”
That person handed Di Chun a document.
Di Chun turns around and looks at Di Feng, who is sticking his head out: "Young Master, this is an urgent document from the Ministry of Justice that has been forwarded to the Spiritual State.”
Di Feng returned to the carriage and handed the document to Di Renjie.
"Uncle."
"Yes, I heard everything. Ask Di Chun to sign the bill and let the public go back.”
Di Renjie opened the official document and began to read it. Di Feng stuck his head out and instructed Di Chun.
When the convoy started moving again, Di Feng then moved closer to Di Renjie."Uncle, what is it?"
Di Renjie frowned and sighed. Then, he said in a deep voice,""A few days ago, the Turkic peace envoy entered the capital. The Emperor personally received it and betrothed Princess Yiyang to the Turkic Khagan, forming an alliance between the two countries.”
"This is a good thing." Di Feng said in surprise. Di Renjie was a person who never revealed his emotions and was extremely shrewd. But now, he had a solemn look.
This lets Di Feng know the seriousness of the matter.
"But the day before yesterday, the Pavilion received urgent news from six hundred li of the border that the Turkic diplomatic corps had been completely killed ten days ago!”
" What?!" Di Feng suddenly gets up and bangs his head against the roof of the car with a thud. Then he sits down and covers his head as he cries out in shock.
"Then the envoy that the Emperor received a few days ago was fake?”Di Feng immediately reacted and said incredulously.
"That's right. The court also suspects that the envoy killed the real envoy and then imitated the Turkic envoy.”
Di Renjie stroked his beard and frowned.""The official document says that the Turkic diplomatic mission's forty-six men and the one hundred and twenty guards under the command of the general manager of the army were all killed in the desert.”
"Ordinary bandits don't have this ability. If they don't have internal support and external reinforcements, it's impossible to kill all of them.”
"A traitor?"
Di Feng raised his eyebrows. What was the use of killing such a team?
Could it be that they wanted to start a war between the two countries?
"That's right. The official document said that the diplomatic mission had a total of 166 people, but only 165 bodies were found. The guard captain Li Yuanfang was missing.”
"What?! Li Yuanfang!" Di Feng gets up in shock once more and hits the roof of the car once again.
Di Renjie was attracted by him and turned to look at him in surprise.""What's wrong? You know this Li Yuanfang?"
Di Feng hurriedly shook his head and covered his head." I don't know him. However, this Li Yuanfang is definitely not a spy."”
"Oh?" Di Renjie looked at him in confusion." How do you know?”
Di Feng was stunned. Only then did he remember that Di Renjie should not know Li Yuanfang at this time, so he absolutely would not know that Li Yuanfang would become his right-hand man in the future. This was interesting.
"Oh, uncle, I just feel that this name is full of righteousness. This person is definitely not a wicked person, hehe.”
Di Renjie rolled his eyes speechlessly."You're talking nonsense again."
However, very soon, he did not have the mood to joke with Di Feng.
This matter was unusual, and the official document from the Ministry of Personnel requested him to go to Chang 'an immediately. It seemed that the Emperor intended to let him handle this matter.
Di Renjie could be said to be the person who understood the Emperor's thoughts the most in this world.
"Now that the Emperor has issued an order to arrest this person, I'm afraid he will be caught very soon. Li Yuanfang, no matter if he's a traitor or something else, he's very powerful.”
Di Renjie sighed.
"Hehe, uncle, do you want to make a bet with me? I said that Li Yuan Fang definitely wouldn't be a traitor.”Di Feng suddenly says in a low voice with a sinister laugh.
