Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 714
Luozhou Governor's Mansion is located in Chunhua Square.

Luoyang was the eastern capital of the Wu Zhou Dynasty. Because of its prominent status, the governor of Luozhou was half a grid higher in rank than the ordinary governor of Shangzhou, and he was the third rank.

And the governor's government office in Luozhou is of course much taller and more magnificent than its state office.

At this moment, at the hour of the Chen Pai, the drums were beeping in rapid succession...

With a "bang", the main hall door opened wide, and an official dressed in a gold and purple official robe, a tufted flower head, and a jade belt hanging from his waist walked out quickly. He was the governor of Luozhou——Zeng Tai.

Zeng Tai walked into the hall, Luozhou Sima and Fa Cao who were standing in front of the hall quickly stepped forward, bowed and saluted: "See Lord Governor!"

Zeng Tai nodded and said, "Lu Sima, why are you beating the drums?"

Lu Sima said: "I just received a report from Nanshi Fangzheng and the head of the village. Last night, a homicide occurred in Liutiao Lane, Nanshi East Street!"

Zeng Tai raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh?"

Lu Sima said: "According to Fang Zhengyan, there are three dead people. There is no flesh and blood in the corpses, only three skeletons are left!"

Zeng Tai was surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

Lu Sima nodded: "Yes, the humble officer also felt that this matter was quite strange, so he alerted the adults."

Zeng Tai pondered for a moment and said: "Prepare the sedan chair and go to Nanshi!"

……

In the imperial study room, Wu Zetian stood up suddenly, and threw the memorial on the imperial case with a "slap", her face was ashen, and she sternly shouted: "This Wu Youde, really deserve to die!"

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

Di Renjie stood at the bottom of the steps. He was dressed in a silver and green official uniform, calm and calm, and smiled, "Your Majesty, the case of the Liangzhou Ordnance Bureau is basically clear. Nanping County Wang Wu Youde violated the imperial court's prohibition. Brother—Zhao Yongrong, director of the Liangzhou Ordnance Bureau, resells feather arrows for huge profits.

However, at present, the evidence has not been collected completely. I ask Your Majesty not to disturb the King of Nanping County for the time being. After the evidence is conclusive, he will be in charge of the district. "

Wu Zetian sighed lightly and said, "Forget it, I will leave this matter to you."

Di Renjie bowed and said, "Yes."

Wu Zetian said: "Huaiying, the general Wang Xiaojie of Youweiwei who guarded Liangzhou recently reported repeatedly in the Tang newspaper, saying that the Turkic cavalry invaded Guanhe, burned, killed and looted extremely rampantly... This matter makes me very worried..."

Di Renjie nodded: "Your Majesty, I saw the text written by the Ministry of Cabinet. Your Majesty, I am afraid that this is another warlike aristocrat in the Turkic country making trouble. Your Majesty still remembers that the Turkic Turkic who conspired with Niqu Jin Mulan to assassinate Jili Khan in Youzhou a few years ago." Noble Mordo?"

Wu Zetian nodded: "Of course I remember, he is Jili Khan's uncle. Why, hasn't he already been executed?"

Di Renjie let out a long sigh and said, "Now, his son Prince Helu is deeply supported by the militant nobles, and he is almost on par with Jili Khan in the Turkic country."

Wu Zetian frowned: "Oh, is there such a thing?"

Di Renjie nodded and said yes: "Fortunately, the Turkic elite tiger division supported Ji Li Khan, which made He Lu and others dare not act rashly."

Wu Zetian said, "Huaiying, where did you know this?"

Di Renjie hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me for your arrogance. I often have correspondence with Ji Li Khan."

Wu Zetian smiled, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, I know, you are also for the court and the country."

Di Renjie bowed and cupped his hands, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

Wu Zetian said: "The current situation is either war or peace. In your opinion, how should we deal with it?"

Di Renjie said: "Using troops is against the precepts of the sages. In addition, the cost of war funds, transportation and transshipment will inevitably empty the national treasury. Once a natural disaster occurs, the country will be shaken and there will be no peace. In my opinion , and peace is the best policy."

Wu Zetian nodded slowly: "It is very consistent with what I think. Huaiying, No. 19 two months later will be the birthday of Ji Li Khan. I will imitate the story of Emperor Taizong and choose a daughter from the clan to give Ji Li Khan As a wife, I sent a mission to escort the Turks, firstly to celebrate the marriage and birthday, and secondly to consolidate the covenant of alliance between the two countries with the bond of marriage.”

Di Renjie said with a smile: "Your Majesty is very talented and generous, and I am extremely respectful! As long as the marriage is completed, Turkic and I will have a good marriage. Those belligerent nobles dare not speak out even if they want to fight."

Wu Zetian said: "A few days ago, I ordered the provincial painting in the palace to issue an order to the princes and clans to see who is willing to donate a daughter to help the country."

Di Renjie said: "Your Majesty, the road to Turkic is long and difficult, and the journey is dangerous. Escorting the princess is a great responsibility, so the envoy must consider it carefully."

Wu Zetian said: "Yes, I am considering this matter. Huaiying, do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"

Di Renjie pondered for a while and said, "I think of the two of you..."

"Oh, who?"

Di Renjie said with a smile: "Far in the sky and close in front of us, Li Yuanfang, General Qianniuwei, and Wang Jingyang, the Marquis of Xiaoyao. Li Yuanfang is proficient in Turkic language, and he is familiar with border affairs, while Wang Jingyang is skilled in martial arts and has a deep friendship with Jili Khan , they are up to the task."

Wu Zetian frowned, and nodded in agreement: "Well, I forgot about them."

"only."

Wu Zetian hesitated.

Di Renjie asked: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Wu Zetian said: "It's just that Wang Jingyang is doing a very important thing for me, I'm afraid he is out of skills!"

Di Renjie said: "Let's do it this way. Zeng Tai, the governor of Luozhou, was once the governor of Liangzhou. He is also very familiar with Turkic affairs and border affairs. He can be the second in Yuanfang."

Wu Zetian turned around and took a few steps: "Well, let me think about it."

Di Renjie smiled and said: "Your Majesty, speaking of birthdays, your Majesty's Christmas will be in five days."

A smile appeared on Wu Zetian's face: "Huaiying, you are in charge of the pavilion and also a shepherd in Luozhou. It can be said that you are governing the Guanhe on the outside and managing the homeland on the inside. You have worked hard!"

Di Renjie bowed and said: "These are what I should do, and I dare to thank you for your majesty's comfort."

Wu Zetian said: "At the time of my birthday, the crown prince will be the head of the left class, and you will be the head of the right class."

Di Renjie hurriedly bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door: "Xiaoyao Hou Wang Jingyang is here!"

Di Renjie looked at Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian said: "Okay, Huaiying, you go down first!"

Di Renjie nodded.

Wang Mang walked in, just in time to meet Di Renjie who had walked out of the gate of the Linde Hall, Wang Mang hurriedly saluted and said, "My lord, you are here too!"

Di Renjie nodded with a smile: "Jing Yang! I'm leaving first, I have to go to my house for dinner at noon, remember to bring Changchun wine, Yuan Fang has been thinking about it for a long time!"

Wang Mang smiled and said, "Definitely!"

"Okay, let's go in!"

Di Renjie smiled.

Wang Mang cupped his hands and walked into the hall.

"Your Majesty respectfully sees His Majesty!"

"Be flat!"

Wu Zetian looked at Wang Mang: "Jing Yang, how is the formation of the top three?"

Wang Mang replied: "Return to Your Majesty, everything is ready, only the golden pearl is missing!"

"Oh?"

Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows.

Wang Mang explained: "Your Majesty, Mr. Sha is making the 'Sea Beast Playing Gold Plate', so it cannot be lent out for the time being!"

Wu Zetian nodded: "Oh, I remembered, it is like this, if this is the case, let's wait a few more days! Jing Yang, my birthday will be five days later, so you should come too!"

Wang Mang looked at Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian said, "It's been so many years, and you've done my best. This trip to Yangzhou almost cost my life. You haven't touched your title for some years, right?"

Wang Mang hurriedly replied: "I dare not say it's hard work, it's what I should do for His Majesty."

Wu Zetian waved his hand: "Okay, if this matter is done well, I will reward you again!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wang Mang hurriedly saluted.
