But what surprised Di Renjie was that when his eyes fell on the back of His Royal Highness the Prince, he saw Xiaoxue and the second daughter of Xia Zhi, who had not shown up for a long time and no longer served His Royal Highness the Prince.

Xiaoxue and Xia Solstice, which I haven't seen for a long time, in Di Renjie's eyes, their appearance has not changed for so long, and they are still so beautiful and dignified, which explains the meaning and standard of the word beauty.

But what surprised Di Renjie was that the temperament of the two girls became more capable and heroic than before, and they had more demeanor and unhurried extravagance.

Although Di Renjie knows that whether it is Xiaoxue or Xia Zhi, their family backgrounds are quite prominent among the people, but after so many years by His Royal Highness the Prince's side, he will unconsciously treat them as ordinary palace maids.

Many times people will forget that these two people were selected to enter the palace at the age of ten, but with their cleverness and family background, they were selected into the palace by the palace people, and they were specially selected and prepared for His Majesty.

It's just that later, by mistake, he was given to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by His Majesty and the Queen, and became His Royal Highness's personal palace maid.

Now that the two girls are standing behind Li Hong, at least on the surface, it is impossible to see that Xiaoxue and Xia Zhi will be more than ten years older than His Royal Highness the Prince.

People who don't know what is going on will even think that the three of them look similar to their peers, and there is no age gap.

Of course, this is also related to the maintenance of light snow and the summer solstice, as well as the status in the East Palace, as well as the relaxed and pleasant environment.

If you catch up with the same situation as King Pei Li Xian, presumably Xiaoxue and Xia Zhi will obviously be impossible to maintain the appearance that is still as beautiful as a girl.

After saluting, Di Renjie, after the crown prince Li Hong raised his head to signal, sat on the sofa in front of the desk with Ren Zhigu, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, and Cui Zhiwen, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Serving tea is naturally impossible for Xiaoxue and Xia Zhi to do, and the other palace maids standing next to the study immediately handed over a cup of tea and put it in Di Renjie's hand after Di Renjie sat down.

Li Hong closed the recital he had read, rubbed his eyes that were a little painful, and there were still some words on the recital churning in his mind, trying to drive away the words in his mind, while taking the towel handed over by Xia Zhi and wiping his face.

"Hou Sizhi and Wang Hongyi must not be clear about the three of you, now above the court, I am afraid that there are only those who are not clear, who scare themselves, or there are also people who are sloppy and flattering in their hearts, and they can't see this plan clearly for a while, and more people, obviously after thinking about it for the past few days, vaguely understand, right?" Li Hong rubbed his head, then got up from the desk, walked to the reception area, sat down on the main seat and said.

Li Hong knew very well in his heart that this kind of simple scheme, if he wanted to hide from these old fritters who had been immersed in the court for many years, it was even more difficult than ascending to the sky.

After all, which of these officials in officialdom and in high positions did not climb up from the midst of deceit, open and secret fighting?

wanted to hide from everyone, Li Hong himself didn't think about it at all, but if he could eliminate and deter some of this kind of flattery for the court, and promote people who were promoted by currying favor with the royal family, it would be enough.

It is unrealistic to expect that every official in the entire court and the entire Tang Dynasty will be as upright as he thinks in his heart, honest and honest, fair and just, and will do his best for the Tang Dynasty and the society.

But as long as this extremely frenzied situation can be contained and nipped in the bud, then it will be considered a complete success.

When the Tang Dynasty is so rich and strong that in the eyes of officials, they think that there is no other way to show the dignity and majesty of the royal family, some people will come up with other crooked ways to bewitch the royal family and highlight its unique characteristics and the majesty of imperial power.

Therefore, after thinking about it for the past few days, Li Hong no longer has any psychological burden on the death of Hou Sizhi and Wang Hongyi alive, and even at this time, he still feels that he is not strict enough!

But killing people is not too much, the person is already dead, and the latter means have also achieved their goal of deterring and warning the officials of the DPRK and China, so there is no need to pursue the guilt of the dead.

Di Renjie is far from being as upright and upright as he was in the TV series in the previous life, on the contrary, this guy has always been on the blacklist or the list that needs to be vigilant in Li Hong's heart.

Di Renjie is sleek and sophisticated, and the entire officialdom has long been familiar to him, and any struggle between groups or individuals cannot escape his keen sense.

Even if it is a miscellaneous matter in the royal family, he can't escape Di Renjie's keen sense, but he can grasp his own sense of proportion and the bottom line of the royal family, never participate in these things, and rarely interact with the royal family.

In this way, it made the royal family and even some officials feel that Di Renjie is a noble person and is unwilling to be in the company of others.

But in Li Hong's opinion, this is Di Renjie's strength, because he can turn his shortcomings that were originally exposed in front of others into advantages in the eyes of others!

Being sleek can become a noble person in the eyes of others in Di Renjie's usual behavior, which even Li Hong has to admire.

There is no shortage of people in the officialdom who are good at pretending to understand, this kind of person is very stupid, and there are many of them, they always think that they are very smart, and they can get into a certain officialdom circle by not knowing how to pretend to understand, but in fact, people have long seen him through, but they are just unwilling to break it.

But there are very few people who understand but pretend not to understand, because it requires courage and a self-confidence from the heart, and Di Renjie has this kind of self-confidence.

And he can also grasp it very well, when to pretend not to understand, and when to be honest that he understands!

"Yes, Your Highness, the ministers understand His Highness's painstaking efforts. The minister also had to admire His Royal Highness's strategy, and with an uncertain truth, he was able to deter and curb this court atmosphere, which was far greater than using more people's lives to warn and deter others. It was also able to preserve and maintain the reputation of the royal family. Di Renjie said frankly with a smile.

"Since you all understand, then you should understand that if this momentum is not curbed, this kind of atmosphere will be very harmful to the Tang Dynasty in the future, and the reputation of the royal family will also be ruined, so if you find this kind of remarks in the future, you will be directly sent to prison for questioning." Li Hong said leisurely.

In the study, from time to time, Hua Meng, Jing Jing, Cheetah or Mangzhong hurriedly ran over and asked Li Hongyu to ask for a meeting from the envoys of the foreign countries.

Di Renjie, Ren Zhigu, and Cui Zhiwen nodded understandingly, looking at Hua Meng and the others who were walking back and forth, they began to sit on pins and needles, for fear of delaying His Royal Highness the Prince's other things.

"Don't bother with it, it's all small countries or tribes in some exotic countries, and the big fish haven't arrived yet."

"Then, Your Highness, you summoned us here because of these people from foreign countries, right?" Di Renjie smiled, looked at Li Hong and asked.

"Yes, Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and Jingzhao Mansion have an unshirkable responsibility for the security of Chang'an, and now with the arrival of the envoys of the foreign state, Chang'an City of Nuoda can be called a mixture of fish and dragons, and I am afraid that many people from the three religions and nine streams have gathered in Chang'an, right? Therefore, the purpose of summoning you here is very simple, before the departure of the foreign state, no accident can occur in Chang'an City, whether it is a noble family, a big family, or a royal family. The exotic Fanbang has arrived in my Datang on such a large scale this time, and it is estimated that there are countless people with ghosts in their hearts, so whether it is the Criminal Department or Dali Temple or Jingzhao Mansion, you have to be more careful with me, but anyone who dares to violate the laws of my Datang Dynasty, no matter which country it is, can be arrested in the prison of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, understand? Li Hong's bright and deep eyes flashed with fierceness, and his gaze swept back and forth over the three of them and asked.

Ren Zhigu was the first to nod yes, Jingzhao Mansion is under his actual jurisdiction, and the entire Chang'an City is the top priority of his jurisdiction, no matter what happens in Chang'an, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks for guilt, the first one is naturally to find him, so at this time, His Royal Highness the Prince's words, in his heart, are more important than the holy decree.

And he also understood that it was impossible for Jingzhao Mansion to take full care of it after the influx of 10,000 people into Chang'an City, so the assistance of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department was indispensable.

Cui Zhiwen nodded solemnly, as one of the three laws of the Tang Dynasty, at this time, he understood how heavy the responsibility on his shoulders was, and he also understood the importance of His Royal Highness the Prince, which must have something to do with Anxi or the southwest direction where the war was about to start.

"Whoever it is? Even if it is a prince or princess of another country, Dali Temple has the right to take people? After thinking about it, Di Renjie was still not sure how much power His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave to Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and Jingzhao Mansion, and what kind of status he could get.

After all, in this era of rule by virtue and dress people, it is really difficult to use the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty to truly maintain the law and order of Chang'an City.

The accidents that happened to the royal family, the wealthy nobles, and the big families that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just mentioned did not mean that they would suffer any accidents.

Rather, it is to refer to whether these people will have a connection with the foreign state, and when the envoys of the foreign state violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, whether the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Jingzhao Mansion can withstand their pressure and take people, and will they open up because of their face.

"Yes, no one has a privilege, he must take someone. No one should bend the law for personal gain. Li Hong looked at Di Renjie and said word by word.
