Before noon the next day, at the end of the hour.

When Li Zhi, who was sitting in the warm hall of the Taiji Palace, saw Di Renjie who hurriedly entered, the first thing he said was: "I want you to do one thing: tomorrow, to prove the queen's innocence, and to explain for me the things that have been arguing for the past few days - those folds were asked by me to be approved by her." ”

Di Renjie immediately raised his head in astonishment and looked at Li Zhi in a daze.

Li Zhi nodded and said softly: "Although they are all approved according to my intentions, it is indeed the queen who writes on behalf of me." I ......" He looked down at his hands and smiled faintly, "At the moment, I don't have any strength to write a word." ”

Di Renjie was silent.

After a while, he asked Li Zhi with difficulty: "The lord hopes that the ministers can dissect this matter to the government and the opposition for Niangniang, before the ministers?" Let the ministers, especially the first and auxiliary ministers headed by Uncle Yuan, believe that the mother's approval is out of the will of the lord? I'm afraid that even if the minister said these words, they wouldn't believe the minister. ”

"That's why I called you. I believe that there is only you in this court, and only you can make a defense for the queen. Don't let her be bent by the ministers. ”

"The Lord ......"

"I know you won't want to, and you don't want to—after all, in this situation, whoever speaks for the queen will be considered a member of the queen's party. But that's why I chose you. Because you never see yourself as a party of queens, or a faction of courtiers. You are just you, seeing yourself as a Tang courtier. ”

Li Zhi sighed lightly: "I know how difficult it is for you to do this. But Huaiying! What do you think about the price now, you can see a little more than me. Naturally, I understand that in today's Tang Dynasty, you are the only one who can say a fair word for Mei Niang and will not be slandered. ”

Di Renjie was gloomy, and only after a while did he say lightly: "The lord really loves Niangniang very much." ”

Li Zhi smiled: "In the future, you will know slowly." In the end, how important she is to me, to the prince, and even to the Tang world, and how she is misunderstood and tries to erase the existence. ”

Di Renjie's heart moved, and he said softly: "The minister once heard that when the first emperor was there, someone once defended Niangniang, saying that her life motto ......."

Before he finished speaking, he stopped, because he saw Li Zhi's gloomy expression, and because he knew his words, he asked how inappropriate it was: "The crime of the minister deserves death, but it touches the heart of the Lord......"

"It doesn't matter."

Li Zhi said lightly: "This matter, whether it is me or Mei Niang, I don't want to hide it." It's just that I and Mei Niang don't want to hide it, but it doesn't mean that everyone is willing to listen. If you're wondering...... No, you have to know. ”

Li Zhi thought for a while, shook his head, and called Qinghe: "Later, you go and take Huaiying and see your two masters—they should also come back." ”

Qinghe's expression changed greatly: "Lord, is it ......?"

"You don't have to hide everything. Including their true identity. ”

Li Zhi said lightly, looking at Di Renjie's calm expression with some doubts, but said with a smile: "Because in the future, their brothers are afraid that they will have to rely on Huaiying to take care of them." I'm at ease. ”

Qinghe burst into tears, first said to the Lord, knelt down and thanked Li Zhi for his great kindness, and then turned to Di Renjie on his knees and bowed again, and said gratefully: "Qinghe first thanked Master Di for protecting the righteousness of his teacher!" ”

As he spoke, he bowed his head and bowed, but Di Renjie was caught off guard and hurriedly helped him up, but a deeper sense of gratitude surfaced in his heart:

It seems that unintentionally, he has really become the object that Li Zhi can entrust to the country.

Such a weight, such a dependence, so that this young man, who has always been calm and self-controlled, has a kind of pride that cannot be self-controlled for a while!

It was noon.

Chang'an West City, lively streets. Di Renjie was alone, standing outside a tea branch, the sun wrapping his whole body warmly.

The spring cold is still precipitous, but after all, it is standing under the sun.

But he still felt that bursts of staggered cold and heat were taking over and steaming on the surface of his body.

The surface of the body is as hot as fire, but the body is as cold as ice.

Stunned, he stood in place, I don't know how long it took, until the old couple with the tea branch behind him came forward and asked him embarrassedly if he wanted to see the tea, then he nodded blankly, took out a few coins from his waist and handed them over, thanked the old couple and turned away, but he didn't listen to the call of the old couple in his ears at all-

I don't remember that when I walked out of the deep cave-like private house, I walked all the way here and stopped, and I didn't drink tea and buy water at all.

In fact, he didn't remember anything, even the fact that he had made an appointment with Wei to go to the house of a certain household servant in the east of the city to see Peach Blossom.

Now he only remembers that from the mouth of that pair of young, white-haired brothers-the pair of senior eunuch brothers who used to be the head of the six palaces of the Tang Dynasty, every word and sentence that came out of the mouths of the brothers who were once the head of the six palaces of the Tang Dynasty.

The truth that he had doubts, but never imagined.

An boundless, magnificent empire, two generations are destined to be in the annals of history, the emperor in the sea is sonic shock, and the five generations before and after the cabinet will inevitably be passed on......

For the sake of the so-called fate of the country, the so-called Tang Dynasty's qi, all the distortions and destructions, reconstructions, and even complete destruction of a woman's fate!

It makes people feel unbearable, and they feel helpless and take it for granted......

The so-called righteousness!

His whole body was cold, but his heart was hot. It's hot to the hot, it's hot to the point of burning!

With a brisk step, he walked towards his mansion—

yes, he will vindicate her, not for the sake of the monarch to whom he is allegiated, but for the little righteousness that remains in his heart, and he will vindicate her.

He wants to defend this woman who has been distorted, destroyed, and trampled on countless times, but still stubbornly and firmly, and has come to the present day step by step!

……

But he didn't have a chance.

Because when he returned to the mansion, Mei Niang had already come to Yuming and issued a secret order of the queen that he could not refute:

Today, however, there is an order from the Lord for you to defend this palace, and I ask you to suspend it.

This palace is close to the name of the evil woman in the mouth of the ministers of the court and the opposition. Adults are the pillars of the country, and in the future, they will be able to carry out the righteousness of the Lord and set the outline. Don't ruin your reputation at this time. And this palace has already found Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong and other children of the Han family as the law - such characters, but they are suitable for this time...... Huaiying is the important weapon of the country, and Deqing's words can be worthy of the weight of Jiuding. This palace should not be used lightly, and Qing should not be lightly allowed. In this matter, the palace will ask the Lord for its guilt. Remember, remember.

Looking at the graceful and elegant book, Di Renjie's mood calmed down again-

It's just that this time it's cold, but it's the kind of cold that is extremely hot. It seems to be the hot and scorching cold when it is burned!
