Chapter 738
Wu Zetian nodded again and again, and asked: "Jing Yang is right, Huaiying, look, how to hand over He Lu to Ji Li Khan to ensure nothing goes wrong?"

Di Renjie pondered for a moment: "I have already thought about it. First of all, this matter must be kept strictly confidential. Except for His Majesty and the people present today, no one else will know about it."

Wu Zetian showed approval: "Not bad."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

"Secondly, put He Lu secretly into the marriage-giving mission, and the general Wang Xiaojie led the guards to escort him to Liangzhou."

Wang Xiaojie nodded.

Di Renjie said: "A few years ago, when I was in charge of the army in Liangzhou, I knew that there was a very secret place in the Liangzhou Guard."

Wang Xiaojie interjected: "The commander-in-chief is talking about Guanbao in the desert of Liangzhou?"

Di Renjie said: "Exactly. Guanbao is located in the desert to the west of Liangzhou. The terrain is strange, there are few people, and there are troops around. It should be said to be very safe."

Wang Xiaojie nodded: "What the commander said is very true."

Di Renjie went on to say: "After the mission arrived in Liangzhou, they first detained He Lu secretly in the Guanbao and sent heavy guards to guard it.

When the mission arrives in Turkic, form an alliance with Ji Li Khan, and then donate He Lu.

At that time, there were Ji Li Khan's elite tiger division, and Xiaojie's right Weiwei main force, attacking from north to south, why worry about being invincible! "

Wu Zetian slapped the Longshu case heavily: "Okay, let's do it like this!"

All the ministers at the next station nodded their promises again and again.

Wu Zetian said: "A few days ago, Huaiying recommended Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai as the deputy peace ambassadors to go to Turkic. In the past two days, I have thought about it carefully. The selection is appropriate and I will play it."

Di Renjie showed joy, bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai both knelt down and bowed their heads: "Thank you, Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

Wu Zetian said: "Ping. Tomorrow, Zeng Tai will resign from the Ministry of Officials as the governor of Luozhou, and Mudi Renjie of Luozhou will take over temporarily."

Di Renjie and Zeng Tai took a step forward: "I obey the order!"

Wu Zetian said: "The decree will be issued... the day after tomorrow, on the day of my birthday. You can't postpone it. You should recruit staff as soon as possible and form a mission."

Di Renjie asked: "Your Majesty, have you selected the daughter-in-law for marriage?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Wu Zetian's face darkened immediately, and he snorted heavily: "A few days ago, I issued an edict in the Zongzheng Mansion to conscript the daughter of a prince and clan for marriage.

Just now when Zong Zhengqing presented the memorial, these clan princes spoke exactly the same words, not because their daughters were married, but because they said they were weak and sick, unable to withstand the wind and cold.

Really hateful! "

Di Renjie, Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and others looked at each other: "That is to say, the candidate for the marriage has not yet been decided?"

Wu Zetian nodded: "I have strictly ordered Zong Zhengqing to pass the test within two days."

At this time, Huang Menlang sang outside the hall: "Wu Youde, the king of Nanping County, is waiting outside the hall!"

Wu Zetian glanced at Di Renjie and said, "What is he here for?"

Di Renjie hurriedly said: "The minister will leave soon."

Wu Zetian pondered for a while, and said to Di Renjie: "No need, you stay here first, and listen to what he has to say."

Di Renjie, Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and others looked at each other, and they all bowed and said, "Yes!"

Suddenly, Wu Youde walked into the hall, Wang Mang cast a glance at him, and saw that he was over fifty years old, dressed in a Taoist uniform, with a clear face and three long beards flowing on his chest.

Speaking of Wu Youde, Wang Mang also met him in Luoyang, but he heard that he was obsessed with Taoism and practiced Taoism all the year round, so he only met him a few times over the years, and they always met at the emperor's banquet. of.

At this time, Wu Youde came slowly to the hall and bowed, "See Your Majesty."

Wu Zetian nodded.

Wu Youde turned around and smiled at Di Renjie, Wang Mang and the others, "Guo Lao, Wang Hou Ye, two generals, the leader of the big pavilion, Master Zeng!"

Di Renjie cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Prince Nanping, please be polite."

Wu Youde hurriedly returned the courtesy, "I dare not."

Wang Mang greeted everyone one by one.

After everyone had seen the ceremony, Wu Zetian coughed lightly and said, "Youde, what's the matter?"

Wu Youde said: "I heard that Your Majesty will recruit a daughter from a clan to marry the Turkic Khan?"

Hearing what Wu Youde said, Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other, and there was a trace of surprise in their eyes.

Wu Zetian raised her eyebrows: "Why, haven't you received the order from the Zongzheng Mansion?"

Wu Youde said: "Your Majesty, I was refining elixir in Mang Mountain, and I just heard about it when I returned home today."

Wu Zetian nodded.

Wu Youde went on to say, "I have a daughter, Yuan Min, who is cheerful by nature, lively and active. She is willing to inherit the will of the Holy One and marry a Turkic far away. I wonder if your Majesty will play it?"

Wu Zetian stood up abruptly and said, "Oh, are you willing to sacrifice your daughter?"

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other, and there was a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Wu Youde replied: "Of course it is difficult for those who marry their daughters far away as parents to give up, but when they think of the great grace of God, it is like rebuilding. At this time, it is time to contribute to the country, so how can we consider personal gains and losses.

The minister is willing to sacrifice his little daughter to make peace with the Turks, eliminate the war between the two countries, and relieve His Majesty's worries. "

Wu Zetian immediately beamed with joy: "Okay, Youde, it's rare that you put national affairs first, take care of the overall situation, and share my worries for me. I approve your play!"

Wu Youde kowtowed and said, "I thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

Wang Mang watched this scene, took a deep breath, and thought quietly.

Wu Zetian announced the decree in a clear voice: "Wu Yuanmin, the daughter of the king of Nanping County, is hereby named Princess Yingyang and bestowed with gold, pearls and silk. The imperial decree will be issued immediately."

Wu Youde paused again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wu Zetian raised his hand: "Be flat!"

Wu Zetian looked at him and said with a smile, "Youde, I can't think of it, you are a smart person, Huaiying."

Di Renjie nodded with a smile.

Wang Mang glanced at Wu Youde expressionlessly. Wang Mang had also heard about Wu Youde. It seems that he and Zhao Yongrong of the Hexi Ordnance Bureau probably resold a lot of ordnance, and he even gave up his daughter. .

At this time, Wu Youde hurriedly said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your praise, I am terrified."

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "Okay, you can go. The imperial decree is coming soon."

Wu Youde bowed and left.

Wu Zetian looked at his back, got up and walked down to Dan Bi: "This Wu Youde has a good nose, he must have known that I was investigating him, so he made such a gesture."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Your Majesty is holy."

Wu Zetian stopped in his tracks: "He helped me as well as himself, otherwise, if he is found guilty of buying and selling arms without permission, he will definitely end up being dismissed from office."

Di Renjie nodded: "Yes!"

Wu Zetian said: "Huaiying, this is the end of the Wu Youde case, there is no need to investigate further."

Di Renjie asked: "Then, what about Zhao Yongrong, director of the Liangzhou Ordnance Bureau who was his accomplice?"

Wu Zetian said: "Zuoqian Suzhou Si Nong, let him let his horse go!"

"Yes!"

Di Renjie took the order.
