Chapter 2: Late Awareness!
Over the years, it was the first time for Li Yuanfang to see Di Guolao so out of shape.
Li Yuanfang stood quietly behind Di Renjie, silent.
Dozens of minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and with the sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside the door of the study, the door of the study was slowly pushed open. I saw that the person who came was dressed in a crimson court dress, with a gray beard floating lightly on his chest, and a Chinese face, slightly red because of his rapid movement.
With Di Chun's support, the person who came walked in quickly.
Seeing this, Li Yuanfang stepped forward quickly, and helped the person to the seat next to him. Di Chun, on the other hand, stepped forward quickly and handed over the tea to the visitor.
This person is Lord Zhang of the same court elder.
Di Renjie looked at the person who came, and saw Zhang Cambodia take a few breaths again, and after taking a sip of the teacup, he slowly stepped forward, sat down on the chair next to Zhang Cambodia, tried to calm his mood, and said softly, "The emperor is going to do something to His Royal Highness King Yu!" ”
"Smack!" Zhang Cambodia's hand holding the teacup trembled, and he accidentally dropped the teacup in his hand and fell to the ground and cracked!
"What ????" Zhang Cambodia's face was in disbelief, staring directly at Di Renjie.
"Master Di, what do you mean by that? His Majesty the Emperor is the mother of King Yu, but the tiger poison is still not eating children, let alone people? Zhang Cambodia's voice trembled a little when he spoke.
Hearing this, Di Renjie shook his head, and then said, "Our emperor is not comparable to ordinary people, and it is not impossible for Li Tang to leave this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. Besides, have these things happened less in the past? ”
"The bloodline left by the ancestor is not much left until now." Di Renjie's eyes flashed with cold light, and he sighed and said.
"My lord, how can you see it?" Zhang Cambodia got up, bowed slightly to Di Renjie, and asked.
Di Renjie raised his hand, motioned for Zhang Cambodia to get up, and then said, "At this moment, His Royal Highness Li Dan, King of Yu, has placed the right Jin Wuwei general to guard the border pass. With hundreds of thousands of troops in the Tang Dynasty in his hands, it can be said that he is the only Li clan member who holds heavy troops among the descendants of the Li family in the imperial court. If you want the current court to return to the descendants of Li Tang, then the military power in the hands of King Yu must not be lost. Otherwise, according to the current political affairs, returning Li Tang to power will inevitably be lost! ”
Zhang Cambodia suddenly realized, and sat down on the chair with a thick and weak body, with a bewildered expression, and only after a few minutes did he recover his strength, staring at Di Renjie with a hesitant face. said with a sad face, "Elder Guo, then I came to see Your Majesty and let Li Dan, the king of Yu, enter the East Palace, it seems that I pushed him into the fire pit?" Ay... The old man is confused! Li Tang Jiangshan is destroyed in my hands! I'm really ashamed of Emperor Gaozong. ”
"Guo Lao, Di Guo Lao, what should we do next? What to do? Zhang Cambodia stepped forward quickly, raised his hand tremblingly, grabbed Di Renjie's arm tightly, and said anxiously.
Di Renjie raised his hand, gently patted Zhang Cambodia's shriveled hands, and shook his head helplessly, "I am also responsible for this matter, I didn't guess the emperor's thoughts and Wu Sansi's thoughts at once." Patronizing and blindly looking for an opportunity to restore the Li family's control of the court. ”
Di Renjie let out a long sigh, pondered for a few minutes, and then slowly spoke, "The only way today is to use all available resources to tell His Royal Highness King Yu to stay at the border pass, so that the imperial court cannot recall him!" And he had to go around the emperor and King Wu of Liang to find an excuse to execute His Royal Highness King Yu. ”
Li Yuanfang, who was standing silently next to him, listened to the words, bowed slightly to Di Renjie and Zhang Cambodia, and said in a deep voice, "The two adults, the Turkic Jili Khan and Master Di, are world friends. For many years, because of Di Guolao, he coexisted peacefully with the Great Zhou. If we ask for help from the Gilly Khan this time, the last general will guess that the Gilly Khan will definitely not ignore it. After all, doing so was undesirable for the Turks. ”
Di Renjie couldn't help but light up when he heard Li Yuanfang's words. Turning his head sideways to look at Li Yuanfang, he nodded at him, and said softly, "Go on." ”
"Yes!" Li Yuanfang replied respectfully, and continued, "For so many years, the Turks have coexisted peacefully in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and for the governance of Jili Khan, the resistance can be imagined. After all, the Turkic nation is one of the few fighting nations in history. War was crucial for the Turks. If we can take this opportunity, firstly, to resolve the persecution of the Li clan by those who have a heart in the current court, and secondly, to reduce the resistance of the auspicious khan to his governance in his country, why not do it. ”
When Di Renjie heard this, he couldn't help but clap his hands. Yuan Fang is reasonable. I'll leave this matter to you. ”
As Di Renjie spoke, he took out a brocade box from his arms and handed it to Li Yuanfang. His eyes stared straight at him, and he said softly, "What is contained in it is the Turkic power ring given by Jili Khan when he was in the border pass and formed an alliance with Jili Khan. ”
Li Yuanfang, who is Di Renjie's personal guard, of course knows the importance of this ring. The Turkic power ring in Di Renjie's hand is the supreme existence in Turkic. As soon as the power ring comes out, it can directly mobilize the khan's personal guard troops, tiger divisions, leopard divisions, and more than 100,000 troops. Therefore, this power ring is very important for the Turks. Jili Khan gave this ring to Di Renjie, which shows that the relationship between Di Renjie and Jili Khan cannot be explained by the word "friend" alone.
Li Yuanfang's face was red, he took it with both hands, and then put it into his arms, patted it hard, and after ensuring that it was safe, he bowed to Di Renjie and said solemnly, "The last general will not be dishonored!" ”
Di Renjie nodded slightly, turned around and came to the bookcase, picked up the pen and was about to write a letter, but suddenly, it was fixed there.
Seeing this, Zhang Cambodia was about to step forward to ask, but Li Yuanfang next to him raised his hand to stop him and shook his head.
Zhang Cambodia had a question mark on his head, but in the end he followed Li Yuanfang's suggestion, stood beside him, and quietly waited for Di Renjie to wake up from his contemplation.
A few minutes later, Di Renjie frowned slightly, took another piece of paper from the bookcase, and wrote wildly. A few minutes later, after the writing was completed, he folded the letter, stuffed it into the envelope, turned around, looked at Li Yuanfang, his face was full of solemnity, and said softly, "This letter, before you go to Shiguo, will be handed over to General Wang Xiaojie, the border guard." ”
Li Yuanfang couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and immediately understood Di Renjie's intentions.
"It seems that Lord Di doesn't have complete trust in Jili Khan, this letter, nine times out of ten, is to let Wang Xiaojie always pay attention to the movements of the Turkic troops, and if he finds something wrong, he will immediately send troops to stop it." Li Yuanfang said silently in his heart.
Di Renjie looked at Li Yuanfang at this moment, smiled slightly, and already understood what he was thinking, "Once it is contaminated with politics and involves the country, there is absolutely no such so-called old friends to speak of." Mother and son can still kill each other, let alone allies? ”
As Di Renjie spoke, he shook his head helplessly.
After pondering for a moment, Li Yuanfang nodded, frowned and asked, "My lord, if your letter is delivered, then General Wang Xiaojie will definitely mobilize troops for this." Will this arouse the suspicion of the Turks, which will lead to an escalation of the war? ”
Di Renjie shook his head, "I will say it to Jili Khan in my letterhead. After all, in the territory of the Turks, it is not just the family of the Gilly Khan. On the surface, he is the Great Khan, and the entire Turkic is controlled by him, but in fact, it is auspicious and somewhat unworthy of the name. The nobility of many tribes still holds most of the real power. Therefore, once the Turkic Turks are on the border, no one can say what kind of things the nobles in the Turkic countries who secretly make small moves will do, and finally cause a large-scale war. Once the war is provoked, then the blame for all these crimes, those nobles will do their best, and blame it on the Gilly Khan. In this way, it will be a fatal blow to the administration of Jili Khan. It is also highly likely that he will be deposed as Khan. If the Turks change the emperor and replace it with a war-hungry khan, it will be bad news for the Great Zhou. Moreover, once the war breaks out again, it will be miserable for the subjects of the Great Zhou, who have just stabilized. Therefore, all kinds of factors are taken into account, and we still have to make the necessary preparations. ”
"The scale of the war must be kept under control, and those who do not allow it to take advantage of the situation and disrupt the whole plan."
Although Di Renjie's voice was not high, it was loud.
When Zhang Cambodia and Li Yuanfang heard this, they couldn't help but bow down and respond, "Yes, Guolao!" ”
At this moment, outside the window of the study, the voice of Yang Kuo, the head of the top ten armies, came in.
"Elder Guo, General Wang Xiaojie's six-hundred-mile urgent document has arrived, do you want to check it now?" Yang Kuo said in a deep voice.
Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, turned around to look at Yang Kuo's voice and shadow above the window, and said in a deep voice, "Send it in!" ”
