Chapter 12: Surprises
Wu Liangfu paused, took out another yellow silk from his sleeve, and began to read.
"The crown prince Hongwen is benevolent and peaceful, and he is very pleased with the government, I and the queen are very pleased, and give ten pearls and one Zhuangzi, from now on, the forbidden army will allocate seven thousand to rebuild the East Palace six rates, and the ministries must not delay, and the British Duke Li Ji will take office immediately, and there must be no mistakes, and this is admirable!"
Forbidden Army?
Li Hong was a little stunned, and stretched out his hand to take the will, but saw that this will was not only stamped with Li Zhi's emperor's treasure seal, but also stamped with the seal of Empress Wu.
It seems that this time his father is determined to build the East Palace Six Rates, and he is willing to transfer soldiers from the forbidden army, and looking at this meaning, his mother also openly supports the East Palace Six Rates!
Is this a blessing in disguise? With this will, whoever dares to stop the six rates of the East Palace in the future will be ready to bear the double anger of Li Zhi and Empress Wu!
Li Hong sent Wu Liangfu away, and was just about to return to the inner palace, but saw Cheng Wu, a personal guard, come in to report.
"Your Highness, the man has arrived at the gate of the city, and our men are ready."
"Great, change clothes, I'm going to leave the palace!"
Hearing Cheng Wu's words, Li Hong slapped his thigh, changed his mind, and decided to go to the city gate to see this famous figure in later generations.
What's more, since Pei Shi has just woken up, he must be very weak, so it is better to let her rest well.
After a short time, Li Hong changed his clothes and came to the West Market, which was closer to Jinguangmen, in casual clothes.
The West Market is the most prosperous place in the whole Chang'an City, gathering countless merchants, wine shops, inns, freight stations, jewelry stores, whether it is precious luxury goods or daily necessities, you can buy them here, there are many Hu merchants from foreign countries doing business here, scantily clad orchids dance outside the store to solicit guests, it is also a unique scenery.
"Your Highness, it's right ahead!"
Cheng Wu took Li Hong to a corner of the West Market, pointed ahead and said.
Li Hong looked in the direction pointed by Cheng Wu, but saw that in the tea shed in front of him, a thin-faced man was holding a teacup and drinking carefully.
The man was dressed in green clothes, and next to him sat a teenage servant, with a small burden on the table.
This is the famous detective Di Renjie? How is it like a down-and-out move.
Li Hong felt a little disappointed, but he still strode over and shouted casually at Dr. Cha.
"Let's have a pot of tea!"
Then Li Hong turned his head to Di Renjie and asked.
"Brother Tai, can I sit here?"
After that, without waiting for him to respond, he sat opposite the man in Tsing Yi.
"Eh, why are you like this, my son-in-law hasn't agreed to sit down?"
Before the man in Tsing Yi could speak, the little guy beside him blushed and said to Li Hong.
"Di Ying, don't be rude!"
Di Ying? It seems that he didn't find the wrong person, it is impossible for so many people with the surname Di to appear at once!
Hearing the man in Tsing Yi speak, Li Hong was a little happy.
"In Xia Di Renjie, there is no way to teach, and I ask my son to forgive my sins."
Di Renjie scolded his little servant, then turned to Li Hong and smiled, and informed Li Hong of his name.
"Li Wulang, Brother Di just call me Wulang."
Li Hong grinned and said with a big grin, this is called a brother!
However, Li Hong's enthusiasm caught Di Renjie a little off guard.
"Where did Brother Di come from?"
Dr. Tea brought the tea, and Li Hong picked up the cup, took a sip, and asked.
"Merge the state!"
As soon as Di Renjie finished speaking, he saw Li Hong frowning, put down the cup, and was a little puzzled at the moment, but after glancing at the slightly cloudy tea in the cup, he was relieved, and looked at Li Hong with a smile.
This made Li Hong a little embarrassed, this tea is really ...... I don't know what it smells like! It seems that he is used to living in the East Palace, and this kind of big bowl of tea on the street is a little unaccustomed.
"Oh? Chang'an has been very chaotic these days, it is said that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated in the imperial city, and it is not a wise move to come to Chang'an at this time! ”
Li Hong slowly began to lead the topic to the point, and silently observed Di Renjie's reaction.
"Hehe, there are a lot of people here, I don't know if the son can appreciate his face, follow Di to the front restaurant!"
Di Renjie didn't answer Li Hong's words, but picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly.
"Brother Di has this intention, how about Pingkangfang?"
Li Hong hesitated for a moment and said.
There are a lot of restaurants in the West Market, the biggest one that can be opened is Pingkangfang, it is said that there is a big man behind this Pingkangfang, it is that there are no ruffians and hooligans who dare to come and harass, it is noon, Pingkangfang is the time when business is booming.
However, with Li Hong's identity, it didn't take much trouble to find a room on the second floor.
Entering the room, Li Hong had just sat down, but saw Di Renjie pull off his robe and said in a deep voice.
"And the state of Cao Di Renjie to participate in His Royal Highness the Prince!"
"Uh, let's be flat," when Di Renjie opened his mouth to invite Li Hong Restaurant, Li Hong vaguely guessed this scene in his heart, but he was a little depressed in his heart, is his disguise so bad......
"Di Qing sit, today I came in a lonely suit, you and I don't have to be formal, but how did Di Qing find out Lone's identity?"
Li Hong asked with some curiosity.
"Of course, His Highness told the minister himself."
Di Renjie sat down and smiled at Li Hong.
"I want to hear about it."
Li Hong was a little unconvinced, the first time he went out on patrol, he was seen through his identity, and he couldn't help but feel a little faceless in his heart.
"Just now in the tea shed, His Highness came and went straight to the minister's place, it can be seen that His Highness is specially here to find the minister, and this is one of them."
Di Renjie said slowly, which made Li Hong a little embarrassed, he was indeed too anxious just now.
"What's more, before the minister's term of office in the state was completed, he was urgently transferred to Beijing, and the minister naturally vaguely heard that this was the meaning of His Royal Highness! The combination of the two, coupled with the entourage behind His Highness is a strong martial artist at a glance, and there are many guards in the dark, Di has handled the case for so many years, if he still can't see His Highness's identity, I'm sorry for His Highness's kindness! ”
This explanation is reasonable, Li Hong nodded, but saw that Di Renjie's face suddenly showed a trace of cunning, which made Li Hong have an ominous premonition, and sure enough, Di Renjie paused for a moment, and then said.
"The most important point, the Nine Dragons pendant on His Royal Highness's waist is not something that ordinary people can carry, it seems that only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been given a piece by His Majesty!"
Di Renjie said jokingly.
Li Hong looked at the Nine Dragons on his body with a wry smile, and secretly scolded himself for being stupid, this kind of low-level mistake will be made, I'm afraid this is the most important sign that he recognizes himself!
With such a jade pendant swaggering through the market, the ghost can't recognize his identity.
"Di Qing knows that he is in a hurry to transfer you to Beijing, but do you know what it is for?"
Putting away his slightly depressed mood, Li Hong said.
"But for the assassination of His Highness?"
Di Renjie lowered his head, although it was a question, his tone was full of certainty.
"It's just that the minister doesn't know, how can a small Facao get the blue eyes of His Royal Highness?"
Of course, it's because your fame in later generations is too great, so that I, a novice in history, know your name.
Li Hong secretly slandered in his heart, but he couldn't say that to Di Renjie, but since Li Hong dared to transfer Di Renjie over, he was naturally ready to be interrogated.
"Di Qing is humble, in the evaluation of the Ministry last year, he can be superior, and he naturally believes in Di Qing's ability!"
Li Hong said to Di Renjie "sincerely", but Di Renjie was a little moved, Maxima still needs Bole, Di Renjie has been in the office for many years now, but he is still in a small position of Facao, and he can't help but feel a little buried.
Now that he has been transferred to Beijing by Li Hong, he can't help but feel a little "confidant".
At the moment when Di Renjie's mind was confused, he heard a noise downstairs, and he couldn't help frowning, but saw Li Hong say to Di Renjie with a smile.
"Di Qing might as well accompany Gu to watch a good show! I'm sure it will be exciting! ”
