Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

"Let's go, Lao Chen and Xiao Yun."

Li Shimin's family of four rode in a carriage, Fang Xuanling and three rode on horseback, and He Meng protected them.

Lao Chen and Shangguan Yun sent them to Zhuangzi's door.

"come back next time."

The two old Chen waved their hands.

Watching the group leave Sujiazhuang, Old Chen said, "Xiaoyun, they come here every now and then. They are old acquaintances. Is it necessary to send them off like this?"

In the past, Li Shimin came and went by himself.

This time Shangguan Yun insisted on delivering it at the door.

"After all, he is the son's respected guest, besides, you should have seen it."

"The madam wants to betroth the little litchi to the son, and he will be the son's in-laws from now on."

Shangguan Yun couldn't tell if this was the emperor and queen.

"The in-laws are nothing special, the young master doesn't even talk about arranging noodles like this."

Old Chen said.

Shangguan Yun was unhappy, and said: "Why, I still have some opinions about asking you to send someone away."

While speaking, Lao Chen's ears were already in Shangguan Yun's hands.

"Xiaoyun, I have something to say."

Lao Chen was taken home by his ears.

back to the palace,

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling returned to the imperial study.

Eunuch Gao poured tea and exited the royal study.

He could see that Li Shimin wanted to discuss important matters with the minister.

The maids outside the door were also driven away.

Li Shimin sat down and said: "You all heard it yesterday, so tell me what to do."

Of course Li Shimin was talking about Hou Junji's embezzlement of Gaochang's treasures.

Only the emperor has the right to award a reward for breaking a place.

A general is the emperor's general, and a soldier is the emperor's soldier.

The power of rewards and punishments is ultimately in the hands of the emperor.

Hou Junji swallowed the treasure himself, and the people below must have taken it too.

Li Shimin was very angry.

Wei Zheng was the first to say: "Your Majesty, you have embezzled treasures for yourself and conspired against him. I request you to put Hou Junji in the sky prison and interrogate him at Yushitai and Dali Temple."

Such a big case, of course, should be handled this way.

Moreover, it is best for Li Shimin to direct in person.

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, this matter needs to be investigated secretly."

"Hou Junji's prestige is in full swing, and he has embezzled the treasures privately, so there is no guarantee that the soldiers under him will not embezzle them privately."

"If there is a big fanfare, too many people will be involved at that time, and I am afraid that the court will be in turmoil."

There are more than 5 soldiers on the expedition. If they are found out, the morale of the army will definitely be shaken.

Hou Junji's appeal in the army is still very strong.

Du Ruhui said: "Gaochang has just been breached, and the threat from the Western Turks has not yet been eradicated. Raising a large army at this time may be disadvantageous."

Gaochang has just been pacified, and it still needs to be controlled there, and then it will be used as a bridgehead to attack the Western Turks.

Many of the soldiers who sent troops at that time were the ones who destroyed Gaochang this time.

They are familiar with the situation there and it is best to use them.

"Speaking of it this way, I have nothing to do with Hou Junji."

Li Shimin was unhappy.

Knowing that Hou Junji was doing evil, but he couldn't do anything about it.

"Your Majesty, even if you don't arrest Hou Junji for the sake of the overall situation."

"I think I should clarify the matter, at least everyone has a bottom line."

Wei Zheng said.

What Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui said was based on the overall situation, and they were both correct.

But things can't be unclear.

"Well, Zheng Guogong is right. Who should investigate this matter?"

Li Shimin must find a reliable person.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that Di Huaiying investigate."

Fang Xuanling said.

"Yes, it is most suitable for Xiaoying to investigate."

"I can trust him, and Hou Junji is so arrogant that he won't care about Xiaoying."

Li Shimin nodded.

After the discussion was over, Fang Xuanling and the three left the imperial study and went home.

After leaving Miyagi, Fang Xuanling asked, "Old Wei, did you win a lot today?"

I saw Su Yu's poker skills with my own eyes last night, and today the three of them had a bloodbath in Sujiazhuang and made a lot of money.

"That is, thanks to that boy Su Yu, I won this amount according to his card playing routine last night."

Wei Zheng gestured with a finger.

"Hiss ten thousand?"

Fang Xuanling exclaimed.

Wei Zheng laughed and said, "You underestimate Su Yu's card skills too."

"I won [-] guan with his routine!"

Wei Zheng laughed wickedly.

One hundred thousand.

"You are so ruthless, Xuan Cheng, one hundred thousand!"

Du Ruhui exclaimed.

The two of them were very satisfied after winning more than 1 rounds, but they didn't expect Wei Zheng to win more.

Horrible.

"Next time I'll watch Su Yu play cards, think more about it."

Wei Zheng said.

Fang Xuanling laughed and said, "I'm afraid I won't see it for the second time."

"You saw it last night, the empress and the princess were frightened by him."

Wei Zheng shook his head and smiled, "Old Fang, you don't understand women."

"I dare say that in a few days, the empress and the princess will be healed and the scars will be forgotten."

The three of them walked home from Suzaku Avenue, muttering in low voices.

After the three of Fang Xuanling left, Li Shimin asked Eunuch Gao to announce Di Renjie into the palace.

Dali Temple,
Di Renjie is reading a book.

Li Fangyuan is practicing the martial arts Su Yu taught him.

The files of Dali Temple have always been the most difficult to judge.

But Di Renjie has no pressure to review. He goes to work for half an hour every day and finishes all the work.

Read books at other times.

Li Fangyuan gestured in the room, Di Renjie watched for a while.

"Fang Yuan, my son said that you will give birth to a son, Li Yuanfang, who is a peerless master. I don't think so."

Di Renjie complained about Li Fangyuan.

Young Master has such a good skill, after teaching it to Li Fangyuan, he practiced it in a mess.

Li Fangyuan stopped, out of breath.

"I don't know, I don't even know where my daughter-in-law is."

"However, the son never misses what he says."

"My son said that my future son is a peerless master, so he must be."

"There is a saying, a tiger father has no dogs."

Li Fangyuan didn't blush at all.

Di Renjie shook his head and sighed: "Young master is good at everything, but he taught us too thick-skinned."

"Just like you, you are still a tiger father and no dog son."

Cai Xin, the prime minister of Dali Temple, came in and said, "Lord Di, the people from the palace are here."

Just after finishing speaking, Eunuch Gao walked in.

"I pay my respects to Master Di."

Eunuch Gao smiled and was very polite to Di Renjie.

Although he didn't know the specific reason, he knew that Di Renjie and Li Shimin had an unusual relationship.

"Eunuch Gao, what wind brought you here?"

Di Renjie jumped off the chair.

"Watch the seat."

The servants outside came in to serve tea, accompanied by Li Fangyuan.

"No need, the emperor hastily called Master Di into the palace."

Eunuch Gao laughed.

Li Shimin waited anxiously in the palace, and Eunuch Gao knew the seriousness.

"Eunuch Lao Gao will go for a trip, and I will go right away."

Di Renjie followed Eunuch Gao out of Dali Temple and headed east to Miyagi.

When he arrived outside the imperial study, Eunuch Gao said, "The emperor said that Lord Di is talking outside the door."

"understood."

When Di Renjie walked to the door, Eunuch Gao drove away all the people around him.

"My humble minister Di Renjie pays homage to the emperor."

It's like this every time I see Li Shimin, Di Renjie is used to it.

Through the door, Li Shimin whispered, "Di Renjie, I have a mission for you."

"Find out what was corrupted by Hou Junji when he destroyed Gaochang."

Di Renjie said: "Follow the order."

"Okay, back off."

Li Shimin said.

"My lord, what about other things?"

Di Renjie asked.

"other?"

Li Shimin didn't know what Di Renjie meant.

"You don't need to pay attention to the rest, just investigate Gao Chang."

Li Shimin said.

"The minister obeys the order."

Di Renjie left Miyagi and returned to Dali Temple.
