Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 687 Chapter 705: Pollution Di Renjie

Thinking of such consequences, how can Xi Nuluo not be afraid, how can he not shed a cold sweat, now he feels the chill on his back, already drenched in sweat, although he also guessed whether Li Hao might be pretending to be drunk to warn himself, but even if Li Hao is pretending Drunk, he also has to recognize the fact that Datang is too powerful. If Li Hao pretends to be drunk and still says that, it can be seen that Li Hao is already very dissatisfied with him. If he continues to steal pictures, Things won't work out.

Xi Nuluo paced slowly in the hall, full of thoughts. Those ministers who were still trying to stay awake were all looking at him, not knowing what he was thinking. They didn't know that what Xi Nuluo was thinking at this moment was directly related to The survival of Nanzhao.

As soon as Li Hao returned to his room in the post house, Di Renjie immediately reported and caught more than 30 rivers and lakes who came to steal pictures. He dared to climb over the wall and enter the hospital to steal in broad daylight. Forbidden, it is this group of despicable people who have an eye for money, which has lowered the status of the Jianghu people, making the imperial court's control over the Jianghu knights more and more strict.

Immediately afterwards, Di Renjie frowned and said, "Unfortunately, when I interrogated this group of people, they all said that the person who entrusted them was generous, but they covered their faces so they couldn't see their faces, and they were dressed in Tang Dynasty servants."

Li Hao waved his hand and said: "There is no need to interrogate, it is the envoy of Xi Nuluo, today in Qianwang Palace, he actually wanted to get me drunk and then steal the picture."

Di Renjie stared at the words, and said angrily: "Xinuluo is so courageous, he really is not of my race, his heart must be different, we should find out the evidence, go back and report to the emperor!"

Li Hao glanced at him with raised eyebrows, grinned and said, "Huaiying, although you are smart, you are still inexperienced in such major matters. It may be because of this that they sent troops to Nanzhao."

"Why!" Di Renjie frowned at Li Hao.

Li Hao took a sip of tea, stood up and said leisurely: "War... is not as easy as you think. Speaking of it, Tang Dynasty is strong, Nanzhao is weak, and the strength of the two sides is very different. , but you have thought about injuring a thousand enemies, how much would you injure yourself?"

"This..." Di Renjie was speechless after hearing the words.

Li Hao said slowly: "We came from Chang'an to Nanzhao. Fortunately, Sheng Guolan helped us along the way, otherwise we would lose [-]% of the soldiers on the way. Here in southern Xinjiang, even mosquito bites may make the soldiers sick. If not in time If treated, there is a risk of death.”

Di Renjie nodded helplessly: "My lord is right, the climate here is really not suitable for us Central Plains people."

Li Haodao: "Although Xi Nuluo intends to snatch the map of the mountains and rivers, he has not openly disobeyed the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, there will be people above the court to intercede for Nanzhao. Therefore, it is really not easy to start a war against Nanzhao."

"But..." Di Renjie frowned and said, "Xinuluo intends to fight for the map of the mountains and rivers and the country. It is obviously very ambitious. It may become a disaster in the future. If you don't report to the emperor, what should you do?"

"Don't worry." Li Hao said, "I have already warned him, he is a smart person, he should not make mistakes."

"Oh?" Di Renjie asked quickly, "My lord, how did you warn him?"

Li Hao immediately told about how he pretended to be drunk to warn Xi Nuluo. After hearing this, Di Renjie smiled and praised: "Gao, this move is really high. My lord, this is not a simple warning, but a threat."

He suddenly changed his tone, frowned and asked: "It's just, lord, you are preaching a false imperial decree."

"Why, you, Dali Temple Minister, want to arrest me?" Li Hao looked at Di Renjie with a smile.

In fact, he didn't need to tell Di Renjie about this matter at all, but he still said it. He wanted to test Di Renjie, whether he would stick to his uprightness or choose to protect him.

Di Renjie thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "You have a high position and authority, and your majesty's imperial decree is needed to arrest you."

Hearing this, Li Hao asked again: "Then you are going to report me to the emperor?"

Di Renjie thought for a while, and shook his head again: "Your move is for the country's strategy, not for selfish desires, I will not report you, but I want to advise you, after returning to Chang'an, take the initiative to plead guilty to His Majesty, so as not to be exploited by others after knowing it. .”

Li Hao laughed when he heard the words. Di Renjie deserved to be Di Renjie. He almost gave a perfect answer to Li Hao's problem. Li Hao was very satisfied, but after he laughed for a while, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he suddenly said seriously: " Huaiying, I will not ask His Majesty for a crime, because this matter involves the Shanhe Sheji Map, and I... do not intend to hand over the Shanhe Sheji Map to Your Majesty."

"What!" Di Renjie was shocked when he heard the words, and stared at Li Hao in surprise. He had known Li Hao for so long, and Li Hao's words surprised him the most. What does the map of mountains, rivers, and land represent? It is the most precious treasure in the world that only kings can control However, Li Hao wanted to take it for himself now, how could Di Renjie not be shocked.

Seeing Di Renjie's surprised look, Li Hao smiled slightly and did not speak.

Di Renjie frowned, looked at Li Hao coldly, and said: "My lord, you are a genius, and you are in a high position at a young age, and you have received a mighty favor from the emperor. You must...don't make mistakes."

Li Hao grinned when he heard this, and said slowly: "Brother Huaiying, don't worry, I, Li Hao, serve Tang wholeheartedly, and I have never had the slightest selfishness, and I have never thought about the supreme position."

"Really?" Di Renjie squinted at Li Hao suspiciously.

Li Hao said with a smile: "When you and I were in Wuxianling, we experienced life and death together, and it was a fateful friendship. I am willing to tell you this because I trust you enough, and I hope you can trust me too. .”

Di Renjie couldn't help being silent when he heard the words, yes, he and Li Hao had a good relationship with each other, they had similar tempers and ambitions, and they have gone through the test of life and death together. With the friendship between the two of them, it is not too much to say that they are brothers, and Li Hao can tell Such a secret matter also shows that he has absolute trust in him, so he asked: "Then why do you want to monopolize the map of Shanhe Sheji?"

"It's a bit harsh for you to say that." Li Hao smiled relaxedly and said, "I'm just keeping it on my behalf, so how can it be considered exclusive."

Di Renjie frowned when he heard that, Li Hao was joking, but he didn't have time to worry about it, so he asked: "Okay, tell me, why don't you dedicate this picture to the emperor?"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Dedicated to the emperor? Then what? What's the use?"

Di Renjie was taken aback when he heard the words. He only knew that the map of mountains, rivers and lands was a treasure for those ambitious monarchs, but now that he thought about it carefully, the Great Tang was already strong enough to make all nations tremble, and he was invincible. Why do you want this thing?

Seeing that Di Renjie had nothing to say, Li Hao said leisurely: "It is useful, of course, there is Tubo in the west, and the Arab Empire is also rising in the west, our Tang Dynasty will confront them sooner or later, but to deal with them, It is enough to have me, Li Hao, and whether there is a picture or not, it does not matter much, you only know that this picture is a treasure, but you don't know that this picture is a treasure in troubled times, and it is the source of disaster in prosperous times."

"I admit, what you said is right." After listening to Li Hao's words, Di Renjie nodded frequently, and then said, "It's just that this picture is dedicated to the emperor, and it can be kept and passed on from generation to generation. After a hundred years, two hundred years, or even Hundreds of years later, if the Great Tang declines, it can still be used to defend against foreign enemies."

Li Hao also had this kind of thought. However, Zhiyuan Zhenren only had four words for him at that time, which is like a dream. Now, Li Hao wants to change the four words for Di Renjie. There is nothing more chaotic than the royal family. If I keep it, I can keep this picture from generation to generation. It will only work when you meet a wise master.”

Di Renjie was speechless again when he heard the words. After carefully savoring Li Hao's words, he found that they were indeed very reasonable, but he always felt strange, and he couldn't explain why.

After thinking for a long time, Di Renjie bowed his hands to Li Hao with a serious expression on his face, and said, "Don't worry, I trust you. I will keep the matter of Shejitu a secret for you."

"Thank you very much." Li Hao smiled and patted him on the shoulder. He knew that this Di Renjie was not the same as the Di Renjie in history. He was "polluted" by himself.
