Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 211 I Have a Priceless Treasure
At this moment, Di Renjie believed in Shen Sanwen's judgment.

Emperor Wu has always been good at guessing people's hearts and concealing emotions, and can always plan strategies, but now, has she given up?
However, Di Renjie will not forget his responsibility because of this joy.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to do, can you retreat to the left and right?"

Emperor Wu's expression was as usual, "Let's all step back."

Everyone knew Emperor Wu's temper and Di Renjie's identity, so he began to retreat.

Emperor Wu looked a lot more serious, which made Di Renjie less worried.

"Di Aiqing, is there something important?"

Di Renjie's tone softened a lot, "I am very pleased to see that His Majesty is much happier."

But his face was clearly worried.

Emperor Wu figured it out in an instant, being prepared for danger in times of peace, Di Renjie was saying that she had changed, "Ai Qing is right, now everyone lives and works in peace and contentment in Great Zhou Taiping, Tubo bows their heads, Turks can be taken down soon, I have never been so happy .To be able to do it today is inseparable from Aiqing's efforts, and in the future, Aiqing will need a lot of advice and recommendation of talents."

Di Renjie immediately remonstrated, "The minister thinks that the prince should stand up and sharpen his talents, so that the country can be stable for a long time."

Emperor Wu was annoyed immediately, he still wanted to establish a prince, the prince, that is, Wudan.If the crown prince is established, can the emperor still be safe? Don't these courtiers want to watch the new king ascend the throne and reshuffle the court.

"This matter needs to be discussed in the long run."

Di Renjie also knew that he couldn't force it, so he didn't mention it again, "Princess Taiping and Cui Xuanzhi made a lot of tricks, and I lost this battle."

Emperor Wu smiled, "Yuanzhou has published a brochure recently, and Ai Qing can read one or two carefully. It talks about the comprehensive cooperation of commercial agriculture and improving the initiative of the people. This is much better than the previous methods of persuading farmers."

Di Renjie was surprised, "Young Master Cui can not only see the problems of the military system, but also devote himself to business affairs, paying attention to workers and peasants, I admire you."

Emperor Wu nodded happily, "It's really my loss to miss this chancellor, Taiping is a blessing in disguise."

Di Renjie was also happy in his heart, and it was a pity for those who were full of talents to live in seclusion, "This is the great fortune of the Zhou Dynasty."

Emperor Wu invited Di Renjie to play a game of chess again, and the two started to play chess before summoning the person.

The Zhang brothers waited outside for a long time, and they changed many cups of tea. Zhang Yizhi brought the tea and began to claim credit, "The tea has been specially set for a while, it is mild and moderate, and it is suitable for drinking."

Di Renjie's worries surfaced again. This is a game between the emperor and the ministers. Even Shangguan Wan'er would not dare to interrupt at this time. Is this young man really so favored?

Di Renjie hurriedly asked, "Which talented person is this?"

Emperor Wu cast a glance at Zhang Yizhi, but did not say anything to blame, "This is Zhang Changzong's brother, Zhang Yizhi, so Di Aiqing doesn't need to worry about it."

Since Emperor Wu didn't pursue it, Di Renjie naturally couldn't pursue it either, but he couldn't help but care.Can it be like this in front of the two of them playing chess today, can it be like this in state affairs in the future, how can the position of the crown prince be allowed to be manipulated by them?
Di Renjie wanted to teach him a lesson, instead of blaming him, he talked to him in a pleasant manner, "Brother Zhang should also be a person who understands chess. Look at this chess game, the white ones will win or the black ones will win. It's also boring for you to play against your majesty, so it's not as good as ours." Fill in the lottery?"

Zhang Yizhi was very happy. After all, he knew Di Renjie's reputation and status. Di Renjie thought highly of him if he was willing to play chess with him, so he quickly agreed.

However, although he can play chess, he is not proficient, so he can only ask Zhang Changzong for help.

Zhang Changzong showed full confidence in the Emperor Wu, pointing to the robe in Zhang Yizhi's hand, "Our brothers will use the tribute from the South China Sea, the emerald fur that is worth a thousand gold, as the first prize, and wish your majesty the victory."

Emperor Wu smiled and said, "Is Di Aiqing something valuable?"

Di Renjie smiled mysteriously, "I have clothes that exceed this robe."

Emperor Wu was stunned for a moment, these years Di Renjie didn't have any family background, let alone a thousand gold, a hundred gold was also taken by him for public use, where did he get the thousand gold clothes, so he played chess more and more attentively.

It's a pity that Di Renjie didn't have the slightest intention of avoiding Renjun, and the game of chess was so smooth that Emperor Wu could only accept the chess, and laughed at himself, "It turns out that Aiqing has the heart to win."

You also followed Shen Sanwen and learned to be a white wolf with empty gloves.

The Zhang brothers put away Cuiqiu as they said.

Zhang Changzong said with a smile, "I would like to bet and admit defeat, Master Di accepts with a smile."

Zhang Yizhi was very reconciled, "Your Majesty, let's have another plate. We haven't seen Lord Di's daughter's robe yet."

Di Renjie pointed to the official robe on his body, "Brother Zhang, you have seen it before. The old man's purple robe is only worn by first-rank officials in the dynasty. It was bestowed by the emperor on duty. It is extremely noble and recognized by the emperor and the people of the world." , is a priceless treasure. Although this emerald fur is a tribute from the South China Sea, it is only given by His Majesty because of his likes and dislikes, so there is only one price. Whose robe is more expensive?"

Zhang Yizhi was a little annoyed.

Zhang Changzong heard a hint of implication, "What Master Di said is true, the two of us can't bear the purple robes of the Lord."

Emperor Wu naturally heard Di Renjie's humiliation to the two of them, so he shouted them away on the spot. This was only to show Di Renjie that she could distinguish between big and small things.She can make the right choice between national affairs and personal likes and dislikes.

Di Renjie used his game of chess to talk a lot about people's livelihood with Emperor Wu, but he felt that although Emperor Wu demanded himself as a wise king, he could not remain calm as before, more like Gaozong in his later years.

Thinking about his body, many things are really powerless.

However, after Zhang Yizhi was dismissed, he felt depressed for a while. Since he entered the palace, he has enjoyed the fruit of his cousin, and he has never met someone who is so rude to him. This first meeting actually humiliated him.Zhang Changzong can only comfort him that Di Renjie is old and has a short lifespan, and he has won the trust of His Majesty, so he cannot be offended.

After Zhang Yizhi learned his lesson, he didn't dare to say anything wrong about Di Renjie in front of Emperor Wu, so he could only complain in private.

After Di Renjie went to the palace, he wandered around Luoyang City. This peaceful and prosperous world was indeed too good, so good that people could not see the danger.

Here he met his old acquaintance Zhang Jianzhi again.

Zhang Jianzhi graciously invited him to his home as a guest, and Di Renjie accepted the invitation calmly.

I still remember that when the two of them first met, Zhang Jianzhi was just a dissatisfied little official, but his eloquence was excellent, and he was always depressed.

Zhang Jianzhi prepared a simple banquet of food and drink. During the dinner, the two of them did not stop chatting about people's livelihood, the world and the court.

Although Zhang Jianzhi said that people in the world are living a better life, but every sentence has to be compared with that in Zhenguan. There is always a meaning that people in the world have not forgotten the Tang Dynasty. He did not explicitly say that the emperor is stupid, but always implies that the Emperor Wu Unable to accept remonstrance, he did not talk about the establishment of the prince, but every sentence complained about the experience of King Lu Ling.
