Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 283 The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, a son-in-law is better than a son-in-law

Xue Rengui stepped into the study.

It feels that there is something wrong with the atmosphere in the study.

Xue Rengui took a deep breath, and quickly greeted him respectfully.

"My son-in-law sees my father-in-law, and my mother-in-law."

Li Shimin nodded solemnly, and put the letter in his hand on the table.

A snort came out of his nostrils, and he turned his head to look at Xue Rengui.

"Rengui, sit down and talk. Father-in-law has something to ask you."

Hearing this, Xue Rengui immediately sat down opposite Li Shimin.

Seeing Li Shimin's bad face, Xue Rengui naturally didn't dare to speak without authorization.

Xue Rengui really didn't know what was written in His Majesty's letter.

"Rengui, what's the situation with Di Renjie?"

Xue Rengui never expected that His Majesty was silent for a moment, and when he opened his mouth, he actually mentioned Di Renjie, the new governor of Jingzhao, who has recently become popular in Chang'an City.

Speaking of Di Renjie, Xue Rengui became energetic.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, when it comes to Di Renjie, there is a story."

"Oh……"

Li Shimin and Empress Dowager Changsun, Qi Qi was surprised.

He's just a kid, so what's the story?
Li Shimin and the Empress Dowager Changsun's expressions became heavy again in an instant.

The heroine in this story can't be their little son, right?

"Tell me everything you know."

When Li Shimin's words fell to the ground, Xue Rengui spoke.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, not long after you left Chang'an City, His Majesty sent Di Renjie and Pei Xingjian to Persia and Dashi, with the purpose of completely bringing the two places into the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

"Because the ten-year period has come, it's time to resolve Persia and the Great Eclipse."

hiss!
hiss!
Li Shimin and the Empress Dowager Changsun gasped together.

Regarding the ten-year period, Li Shimin and the Empress Dowager Changsun are very clear.

Because ten years ago, when Li Gen led his army back to Luntai City, the two of them just arrived.

In front of the cemetery of the heroes, Li Gen executed the Persian king and the Dashi king on the spot.

The blood of the two of them was used to pay homage to the souls of the soldiers, but it also left hidden dangers for the future, that is, ten years later.

Li Shimin never expected that his elder brother would send Di Renjie and Pei Xingjian to solve this hidden danger.

"Rengui, how many troops did the new emperor send to them?"

Li Shimin took a deep breath and continued to ask.

"Returning to my father-in-law, His Majesty gave Di Renjie a hundred soldiers..."

"Are you fucking sure it's a hundred soldiers?"

When Xue Rengui's words fell to the ground, Li Shimin cursed his mother directly.

Thinking about the change of Xuanwu Gate back then, Li Shimin himself led eleven subordinates and more than seventy soldiers.

It was already a desperate battle, a battle of life and death.

The reason why the Battle of Xuanwu was successful was not only luck, but also the precise planning of him, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others.

Even so, it almost fell short.

Facing Dashi and Persia, Di Renjie only led a hundred soldiers, that's so fucking brave.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin actually laughed.

As an emperor on horseback, what Li Shimin admired the most were brave and resourceful people.

Xue Rengui in front of him is deeply appreciated by Li Shimin.

If Di Renjie is indeed courageous and resourceful, why not marry his favorite princess?

Seeing Li Shimin's smile, the Empress Dowager Changsun immediately let out a long sigh of relief.

Gen'er admitted frankly in the letter that it was Xiao Sizi who admired Di Renjie.

As a queen mother, the eldest grandson empress dowager naturally hopes that her daughter can marry the person she likes.

However, if he didn't have any real skills, Li Shimin's test would be really difficult.

So far, everything seems to be going in a good direction.

"Rengui, so the troubles of Dashi and Persia have been completely resolved?"

The Empress Dowager Changsun asked with a smile.

Li Shimin also picked up his teacup, took a sip, squinted his eyes, and waited quietly for Xue Rengui's answer.

"Returning to my father-in-law and my mother-in-law, it has been completely resolved."

"Di Renjie led a hundred soldiers to Luntai City to join Pei Xingjian, and Pei Xingjian selected another hundred soldiers."

"The two led the army on the train, first took down the King of Persia, and then took down the King of Food."

"Then Feige passed the letter to Chang'an City. After His Majesty learned about it, Long Yan was very happy, and sent King Qi and King Shu to govern Dashi and Persia respectively..."

When Xue Rengui's words fell to the ground, Li Shimin and the Empress Dowager's eyes sparkled.

"You'er and Min'er... went to take over Dashi and Persia?"

Li Shimin was very happy, why not the Empress Dowager Changsun.

The territory of Dashi and Persia is much larger than their fiefs.

And it can govern one side and rule one place.

It is very beneficial to the growth and training of the two of them.

As the royal father, Li Shimin would naturally be happy for his prince.

"Returning to my father-in-law and mother-in-law, Your Majesty not only let King Qi and King Shu take over Dashi and Persia, but also considering the lack of experience of the two His Highnesses in governing, Hejian County King and Jiangxia County King were sent together to assist the two Your Highness."

"Okay... really good, very good..."

Li Shimin slapped his thigh happily.

It's still my elder brother who is thoughtful.

Sending Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong to assist is simply not a perfect decision.

"Rengui, did Di Renjie receive a big reward after he came back?"

Seeing the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager smiling, Xue Rengui knew that he didn't need to be too cautious.

So he rubbed his belly and said.

"My father-in-law, my mother-in-law, and my son-in-law may not be able to finish talking for a while."

Li Shimin and the Empress Dowager Changsun are both extremely intelligent people, how could they not understand what Xue Rengui meant.

"Come here, send a table of wine and food to the study."

When Li Shimin finished speaking, he immediately spoke with a smile.

"Rengui, continue talking. When the food and drink arrives, let's continue talking after drinking."

Xue Rengui smiled naturally, and agreed immediately.

"My lord father-in-law, my lord mother-in-law, after Di Renjie returned to Chang'an City, His Majesty did not reward him heavily. It can be said that there was no reward. He only commended him by name during the court meeting."

This made Li Shimin and the Empress Dowager Changsun stunned when they heard the words, and they were about to fight for Di Renjie.

"Is there really no reward?"

Li Shimin completely forgot that not long ago, he wished to return to Chang'an City immediately, press Di Renjie to the ground, and rub his urge and thought hard.

"Well, there is indeed no reward, but one month later, because His Majesty was quite dissatisfied with the atmosphere and public order in the capital, he dismissed the governor of Jingzhao Mansion and appointed Di Renjie as the governor of Jingzhao Mansion..."

"Oh... Governor of Jingzhao."

Li Shimin's eyes sparkled instantly.

Li Shimin is too clear about the importance of Yin in Jingzhao Mansion.

The prefectures and counties around Chang'an, the capital city, are all under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion, and are in charge of all affairs in Chang'an, the capital city.

In this position, Changle's son-in-law, the wife of the house, did a very good job.

"Rengui, so to speak, this Di Renjie is the youngest governor of Jingzhao Prefecture ever. Father-in-law, let me ask you, how is he doing? Has he disappointed the new emperor?"

Li Shimin is now actually starting to worry that this kid won't do well.

It has to be said that Li Shimin's psychological changes during this period of time are really a bit too big.

"Back to father-in-law, well, Di Renjie did a really good job, so good that the whole city was shocked, and now it can be said that he is famous all over the world."

"Some folks even call it, Detective Di Renjie..."

"what…"

"what…"

When Xue Rengui's words fell to the ground, Li Shimin and the Empress Dowager Changsun all cried out in surprise.

Fortunately, the guards just happened to bring the food and wine, and the sound of pushing the door in, somewhat covered the surprised sounds of Li Shimin and the Empress Dowager Changsun.

The personal guard carefully presented the food and wine one by one, and then exited the study.

Xue Rengui naturally has to take on the job of pouring wine and tea.

Li Shimin and the Empress Dowager Changsun nodded in satisfaction.

Warmly invite Xue Rengui to enjoy the food and wine.

Xue Rengui was not polite anymore, he ate a lot of meat and drank heavily.

As everyone knows, Li Shimin likes such a candid temper.

One of the most important reasons why Cheng Yaojin can enjoy himself in front of Li Shimin is that he is frank and genuine in front of Li Shimin.

"Rengui, you just said that Di Renjie is called a detective by the people. Is there any basis for it?"

When the Empress Dowager Changsun was happy, she also took a light drink, a blush rose on her cheeks.

The Empress Dowager Changsun asked the question that Li Shimin was eager to ask, and Li Shimin gave him a look of approval for his most beloved woman.

"My lord mother-in-law asked a good question, and let my son-in-law speak slowly."

Xue Rengui drank three glasses of wine, and he had already drank a few glasses in the palace of King Wei just now.With the help of Xue Rengui, who was strong in wine, the chatterbox was completely opened up.

"The reason why Di Renjie is called a detective by the people is because he took office for three days, and he handled a major case every day. On the first day, he solved an old murder case."

As soon as Xue Rengui spoke, Li Shimin and the Empress Dowager Changsun put down their chopsticks together and stared at Xue Rengui with inconceivable shock and doubt in their eyes.

The old murder case was solved on the first day of taking office. Even if Xue Rengui said it, it was really hard for Li Shimin and the Empress Dowager to believe it.

"Cracked the old murder case in one day? How did he do it? Rengui, please tell me carefully."

When Li Shimin's words fell, Xue Rengui picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and drank it down in one gulp.

"No one thought that the murderer of the deceased turned out to be his wife."

"After Di Renjie carefully reviewed the files, he opened the coffin for an autopsy on the spot. He had previously opened the coffin for an autopsy, but found nothing. However, Di Renjie found important and fatal physical evidence when he opened the coffin for an autopsy."

"A slender silver needle pierces the Baihui acupoint on the top of the deceased's head..."

Li Shimin and the Empress Dowager Changsun gasped when they heard the words.

No wonder the autopsy and coffin autopsy back then found nothing. It turned out that the murder weapon was pierced from the top of the head, and it was indeed very difficult to find.

"Di Renjie immediately ordered the arrest of the deceased's wife. The deceased's wife had remarried and the current husband was also arrested and brought to justice."

"Di Renjie interrogated the husband and wife separately. After the surprise interrogation overnight, the wife of the deceased cried bitterly in front of the physical evidence, claiming that she was forced to do so, and that her current husband was the idea..."

"The truth finally came out, the deceased was brought to justice ten years later, and the vicious couple was brought to justice."

"The relatives of the deceased knelt down at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion Yin, and the scene moved people to tears..."

Li Shimin and the Empress Dowager Changsun were also very sad when they heard the words.

The two can imagine how sad the relatives of the deceased would feel when they learned that the person who killed their relatives was also their former relatives.

If it wasn't for Di Renjie's discernment, this unsolved case might never be solved.

The dead can never find consolation.

"Rengui, what case did Di Renjie handle on the second day?"

Li Shimin asked urgently.

"Father-in-law is a good question, let my son-in-law speak slowly."

When Xue Rengui's words fell to the ground, Li Shimin and the Empress Dowager Changsun began to listen carefully.

Because the first murder case that Di Renjie uncovered really whetted the appetites of Li Shimin and the Empress Dowager Changsun.

At this moment, the two began to look forward to Di Renjie's performance even more.

"On the second day after Di Renjie took office, the whole city was once again in an uproar, boiling Chang'an City's [-] squares, dignitaries and citizens."

"A serious jewelry theft case ten years ago was solved by Di Renjie in one fell swoop."

When Xue Rengui's words fell to the ground, Li Shimin and the Empress Dowager Changsun blurted out together.

"Rengui, but Xinglong Jewelry Store in the West Market?"

Now it was Xue Rengui's turn to be shocked, and Xue Rengui's eyes widened, and he spoke in astonishment.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, you all know?"

The Empress Dowager Changsun pursed her lips, shook her head and said.

"Rengui, father-in-law and mother-in-law only knew about this case. The value involved in the case was very high. Your father-in-law even issued an imperial edict for it, but it was finally ignored."

"I didn't expect Di Renjie to solve the case. Rengui, hurry up and tell your father-in-law and mother-in-law, where did the gangster come from? How did Di Renjie solve the case?"

When the Empress Dowager Changsun finished speaking, Xue Rengui scratched his head in embarrassment, and continued.

"My lord father-in-law, my lord mother-in-law, speaking of that bandit, he really isn't a gangster."

"After Di Renjie reviewed the files for a day, he suddenly ordered to arrest the waiter who reported the case back then. It is said that the waiter was dragged out of the bed by the guards of Jingzhao Mansion."

Li Shimin and the Empress Dowager Changsun said in unison.

"Rengui, could it be that the guy who reported the crime was a bandit?"

Xue Rengui nodded solemnly.

Li Shimin couldn't help standing up and asking.

"Rengui, how did Di Renjie see it? That's the person who reported the crime?"

The Empress Dowager Changsun's eyes were also full of doubts. Could it be that Di Renjie is also a disciple of the Immortal?
"Going back to my father-in-law, the reason why Di Renjie immediately ordered the arrest of the waiter who reported the crime after reviewing the file was because after Di Renjie checked his file, he was surprised to find that the statement made by this person at the time of the report was provided by the shopkeeper of the jewelry store." The ledgers are in perfect agreement, and not a single item is missing."

"And he is just a waiter. The statement of the real locker guy cannot really match the lost jewels."

Li Shimin and the Empress Dowager Changsun, at this time, suddenly realized.

The person who reported the case back then really complicated the simple case.

No one thought that the real thieves were actually their own people.

Li Shimin smiled, very happily.

The Empress Dowager Changsun was also happy from ear to ear.

Before, they were bothered by the fact that Xiao Sizi took a fancy to Di Renjie.

Now it seems that Sizi's eyes are sharp.

They are very satisfied with this future son-in-law.

It can be said that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and a son-in-law is better than a son-in-law.

Li Shimin and the Empress Dowager Changsun laughed so happily, but Xue Rengui was even more confused.

What exactly happened here?
Di Renjie cracked two cases and made his father-in-law and mother-in-law happy like this?
