The matter of sending troops was agreed, but the choice of the coach caused some waves. Wu Sansi naturally had a positive attitude, and the person he recommended was naturally his Wu family, especially Wu Youyi, the king of Jian'an, who was good friends with him, and even offered to take command in person, but was rejected by the emperor......

Di Renjie became a ruler of the country and recommended several people, Xue Rengui's son Xue Ne, Youzhou Governor Guo Yuanzhen, and even Wang Xiaojie and Lou Shide, who were demoted not long ago. Wu Cao's attitude was noncommittal, noncommittal, in fact, he refused.

The old fox could see that the empress was very cautious and hesitant in appointing generals this time. In the final analysis, the words "Xingtang and Zhou Dynasty" raised the vigilance in the emperor's heart to the highest point.

"Li Qianzhong, Khitan ......" On the way from the hall to Fengge, Di Renjie muttered.

An old minister followed Di Chubby's steps and followed him. This person's name is Li Yuan, born in the Li family of Zhao County, and the official worships the Fengge Shilang and Tongping Zhangshi. This person's life, a little mediocre, has nothing to praise. His brother is somewhat famous, Li Jingxuan, the Zhongshu Ling of the Gaozong Dynasty, the "general" who calculated for Liu Renliang twenty years ago and fled in embarrassment by the Qinling Tomb.

Li Yuan's age seems to be older than Di Renjie, but such an old minister can win Wu Cao's trust and have a place in the political hall. Xue Jichang said that it was true, above the court, there were many old husbands, and the empress also liked to use these winter bakes to decay, probably because it was convenient to replace......

Seeing Di Renjie's worried contemplation on his eyebrows, Li Yuan couldn't help but say: "Is the elder of the pavilion too high in terms of those Khitans, just waiting for the heavenly soldiers to arrive, it will be like Mount Tai pressing the eggs, and their generation will be wiped out!" ”

In fact, even at this moment, the ministers of the central center still didn't think that the Khitan rebellion would have much impact, and when Afugu united with the Xi people to make a rebellion, it was not easily suppressed, but it made Xue Rengui's martial arts prestige. This time it was at most larger, but it was not enough to make the Great Zhou court like a great enemy.

After all, the Khitan is not Tibetan, and it is even far inferior to the post-Turks who were defeated three years ago. It's normal to have a heart of contempt.

Hearing his words, Di Renjie slowly shook his head, and his eagle eyes were filled with suspicion: "A slogan will hit the sore spot of the situation, you really can't underestimate the other generation!" ”

Li Yuan silently said that since the Tianzhu Revolution, the issue of the inheritance of Sheji has always been the main contradiction within Wu Zhou, even if the empress spares no effort to purge and weaken the "anti-military" forces, but inside and outside the government and the opposition, there are never fewer people who miss the old Tang Dynasty.

Nowadays, more people are talking about the empress a hundred years later, and with Wu Chenghei out, the contradiction has been temporarily suppressed, and about the heir, the emperor and the courtiers have entered a state of "tacit understanding".

Now the Khitan is under the banner of entering the customs to support Li Xian, the king of Luling, which really provoked the nerves of some people, and directly picked out the contradictions hidden under the surface. seems to Di Renjie, in addition to subconsciously suspecting the conspiracy, he is more worried about the turmoil of the court and Li Xian's safety.

Under the emperor's suspicion, will he make a move on Li Xian or even Li Dan because of this? Li Xian's death, even after more than ten years, is still vivid, even if he is not necessarily the emperor's own son.

......

At night, the bright moon sows clear light, and the heat of the day fades away, but gives birth to some coolness. In the study, the dim candlelight casts Di Renjie's shadow on the bookshelf behind him, and in the bookcase, there is a map of the pine desert and Liaoxi, and the old fox has been staring at the map for a long time.

"Sir!"

Hearing the call, Di Renjie suddenly came back to his senses, and when he raised his eyes, Di Chun was looking at him with a puzzled face, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand.

"Di Chun, ah......" stopped on Di Chun's face for a moment, lowered his gaze, and picked up another official document to study.

"Master, since you returned home, you stared at this picture, did something happen?" As if unintentionally, Di Chun asked casually.

The old eyes narrowed, and then stretched, Di Renjie rolled up the map, handed it to Di Chun to bag, and replied: "It's nothing, the Khitan Li is loyal to the opposite, and the court justices are arguing endlessly about how to deal with it." ”

Hearing this, Di Chun behaved calmly, not surprised at all, and only responded with a humble "oh".

Picked up the teacup, scraped the tea foam twice, took a sip, squinted at Di Chun, Di Renjie asked lightly, "Hasn't your throat recovered yet?" ”

Hearing this, Di Chun's body subconsciously tensed, raised his hand and touched his throat, lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "I'm afraid that I have fallen into the root of the disease......"

Di Chun's voice has indeed changed significantly compared to the past.

"You're suffering!" Sighing, Di Chubby looked at Di Chun's unremarkable face, and said in a deep voice: "Filling the throat with hot oil, such torture, only those people in the internal guard have their ruthlessness, they can think of it, and they can do it!" ”

More than half a year ago, Di Chun was suddenly taken away by the internal guards, and Di Renjie took some effort to rescue him.

"I finally saved my life, if it weren't for the master, I would have died a long time ago." Di Chun replied in a low-key manner.

Leaning back on the chair slightly, the exquisitely crafted seat behind him was still a birthday gift sent by Yuan Langjun. Indifferently observing Di Chun's expression, a smile appeared on the corner of Di Chun's mouth, and he said in a joking tone: "Speaking of which, you little guy is also lucky, you have been in the case gate for three months, and you can still come out alive......"

"Thanks to the blessing of the master!" Di Chun spoke, trying his best to hide the faint feeling of strangeness.

Retracting his gaze, Di Renjie diverted the topic and wondered, "What about Yuan Fang?" Since returning home, I haven't seen him, where has he gone? ”

"Yuan Shaoqing invited, and General Li went out of the city to hunt with him." Di Chun hurriedly said.

"Oh~" tapped his head twice. Di Renjie's pupils were deep, and the cold light flashed away, Di Chunke had always called Yuan Langjun General Yuan in the past......

Speaking of Yuan Fang, Yuan Fang had already arrived at the door, and the voice came with the sound of footsteps: "My lord, do you have something to do with your humble position?" ”

Li Yuanfang is still dressed in a hunting suit, heroic, walking with the wind, and the momentum is getting stronger. His eyes softened, and he ordered Di Renjie: "You go." ”

"Yes!" Respectfully saluting, Di Chun stepped back.

Di Renjie glanced at his back, as if he wanted to distinguish more differences, retracted his gaze, and saw Li Yuanfang looking at him.

"My lord, he ......," Yuan Fang began.

Di Renjie immediately made a booing motion, Yuan Fang stopped, glanced at the old fox, and came to his senses, the two had a tacit understanding, talking about business, regardless of whether there was an ear outside the door.

told Li Yuanfang about the Khitan rebellion along with his suspicions, and under the influence of Di Renjie, Yuanfang, who cherished his family and country, suddenly frowned, and said in a deep voice: "According to the meaning of the adult, there is another conspiracy behind it?" ”

"It's hard to say! I just hope that I think too much, I am in the Divine Capital, thousands of miles away, and it is difficult to know the details......" Di Renjie had a serious expression, looked at Yuan Fang and said solemnly: "The emperor is planning to send troops, I plan to let you go with the army to secretly investigate the rebellion in Yingzhou." ”

"Don't give up!" Li Yuanfang directly agreed.
