Chapter 68: The Truth
This letter is a reply from Li Zhaode, the squire of Fengge, to Di Renjie, and it contains the recent situation of the Turks that Di Renjie is most concerned about and curious about.
On the side of Youzhou, the news is blocked, but the DPRK and China can pay attention to the movements of the Turkic side. The shadows of the Great Zhou continued to send Turkic news back to Luoyang, the capital of the gods.
Since the case of the mission, the Great Zhou and the Turks have dispatched troops, the frontier friction has continued, and the war is about to break out.
At this time, a shocking news came from the Turks, adding fuel to the already tense situation. The Turkic Jili Khan is dead, and it is rumored that the Great Zhou colluded with conspirators to murder him. Coupled with the murder of the mission into Beijing, there was an uproar in the Turkic country, and they almost overwhelmingly sided with the main battle faction, clamoring to move troops south to avenge the auspicious Khan.
Mo Du, who had been fighting the main battle, had already been able to take the throne in the Turkic royal court, integrated the tiger division, gathered the warlike aristocratic tribes, gathered the eagle division and the leopard division, and went straight to Fengzhou in the south.
The Turkic movement made Emperor Wu Cao completely give up the idea of "peace", and she understood that even if Di Renjie found out the mission case, war was inevitable.
The tone of "fighting" was set, and the response of the imperial court became more proactive. The empress returned to Luoyang from Chang'an, and the edict was issued, and Tang Xiujing, the governor of Xizhou, threatened the Turkic west with the Anxi armies eastward. Wang Xiaojie, the general of Wu Cao's ten-minute love, was also transferred to the north as the general manager of Qingping Province, presiding over the military affairs against the Turks.
At the same time, to the uproar of the government and the public, the emperor wanted to order Xue Huaiyi, the general of the right guard and the Duke of Hubei, to lead the government soldiers of Guanlong and Henan to the north to deal with the Turks......
After reading the letter, Yuan Hui's brows furrowed, the situation of the Turks was not too much beyond his expectations. However, Emperor Wu Cao's reaction made him feel a little toothache, and Xue Huaiyi ......
"Understood...... I see! At this time, Di Fatpang, who had digested the news, began to sigh and said twice.
"Your Excellency!"
"Yuan Hui, you have also read the letter, what do you think of this matter?" With a sigh of relief, Di Renjie looked at Yuan Hui.
Looking at Di Renjie, the old fox's eyebrows were full of sudden color, for him, the cause and effect of the mission case, the last puzzle piece, can be regarded as completed.
Whenever Di Renjie asked himself like this, Yuan Hui couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart. However, since Di Chupang let himself pretend to be X in front of him, Yuan Hui didn't carry it.
He cleared his throat and said, "My lord, we can let go of the last doubt in our hearts about the identity of 'Li Er', he must be the Jili Khan!" ”
Yuan Hui made a loud noise, Di Renjie nodded slightly, didn't make a sound, just looked at Yuan Hui and listened to his "analysis".
"Combined with the events before and after, we can make such a judgment!" Yuan Hui slowly recounted: "This conspiracy was carried out in collusion between the Great Zhou rebel party and the militants in the Turkic country, Mo Du and others. Mordo used the traitorous party to rob and kill the mission, get rid of the lord and faction, and provoke the Turkic war. And the rebel party is operating in Youzhou, preparing to use the Turkic army as foreign aid to plot rebellion! ”
"Najili Khan was exiled in Youzhou, and it must have been Mo Du who made trouble in the country, falsely claiming that the Great Zhou was murdered, and it could completely arouse the anger of the Turks and set off an army of 'revenge'. Jili Khan, under the alias 'Li Er', entered Youzhou, and the fake assassin found out that his identity was reported, and the black hand of a certain future must have been notified by Modu, so after he fled, there was the pursuit and assassination. And the Turks who appeared near Juyong Pass that the last general discovered before were likely to be sent by Mo Du to find the dead soldiers who searched for and killed Jili Khan! ”
After listening to Yuan Hui's analysis, Di Renjie sighed: "Your analysis is very reasonable!" ”
"Mo Du made trouble in the Turkic country, and the rebel party moved in the Great Zhou. After robbing and killing the mission, he pretended to enter Chang'an, looking for an opportunity to rescue Liu Jin, and obtain the 'List of King Yue's rebellion'. They are based in Youzhou, which has been operating for many years, and rely on the list to contact and persecute all forces. If they really succeed in making it difficult, under the collusion between inside and outside, the world may really be in chaos. Di Renjie added.
"yes!" Yuan Hui said in a condensed voice: "Take a hair and move the whole body, at that time, there will be a Turkic army pressing the border, and there will be a rebel party inside, once the Great Zhou can't deal with it, I'm afraid that Tubo and Khitan will also come up and take a bite!" At that time, there will really be no peace in the country! ”
"These people who have no king, no father, no country and no family are really guilty of not punishable!" Yuan Hui was "righteous and awe-inspiring" and scolded.
Aiming at Di Renjie, he found that Di Chubby's face was very calm, and he was not "excited" at all, and he was slightly embarrassed in his heart, Yuan Hui couldn't help but continue to speak: "But the rebel party definitely didn't expect that you would directly track down to Youzhou, eliminate the fake assassination history, rectify the military and political affairs of Youzhou, and let their business in Youzhou be ruined!" ”
This statement is true, I am sure that the case of fake assassination will definitely catch the other party off guard. Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen to play that kind of game with me Di Renjie......" A look of ridicule flashed in the old man's eyes, and Di Renjie said meaningfully.
Yuan Hui didn't seem to hear the other meaning in Di Renjie's tone, and didn't ask.
As night fell, the sky was dark, and the servants entered the hall, holding lamps and lighting candles, and the breeze blew in through the windows. The two were silent for a while, and Yuan Hui arched his hand towards Di Renjie: "My lord, at this moment, can we say that the truth of the mission case has been revealed!" ”
Hearing this, Di Renjie shook his head: "All this, although it is reasonable, still belongs to our speculation and inference, although there is some evidence, but it is not strong enough. Such a result will be reported to the emperor, but I am afraid that she will not be satisfied. Also, the Jili Khan died in Youzhou......"
"Hey....." At the end, Di Renjie sighed heavily.
Yuan Hui looked at Di Renjie, this old man, could it be that he was guilty of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he still wanted "ironclad evidence"? When the wind of whistleblowing was at its peak, Luoyang was unjustly imprisoned, and the emperor had considered empirical evidence.
Obviously, the truth has been revealed, this old man Di ...... Is there anything else the old man is thinking about? This thought suddenly flashed through Yuan Hui's mind.
"And what are you going to do next?" Yuan Hui asked.
"We can be considered to have deduced the causes and consequences of the mission case for the time being, but this secret anti-party has not yet completely surfaced, and the mastermind behind it does not know who ......" Di Renjie said lightly: "Next, we have to figure these out and give an explanation to the emperor and the world!" ”
"Are you planning to start with Fang Qian!" At this time, Yuan Hui asked.
Hearing this, he glanced at Yuan Hui in surprise, isn't this Yuan Hui a roundworm in his stomach? Then he smiled: "Not bad! This Lord Fang, no matter how well he hides his coquettishness, the flaws exposed will be traced after all! ”
"Your Excellency...... There will be a word at the end, I don't know whether to say it or not! ”
Facing Yuan Hui, Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "But it's okay to talk about it!" ”
"The letter mentioned that His Majesty the Emperor intends to send Xue Huaiyi to lead the army, this ......"
Yuan Hui only said half of what he said, but Di Renjie understood what he meant, lowered his head and muttered for a while, Di Renjie sighed slightly: "The emperor sent generals, and those who are ministers are really not well judged...... Let's deal with the affairs of Youzhou and find out the traitor! ”
