Daming Palace

"Your Majesty, seeing that you are safe and sound, Weichen is very relieved." Di Renjie bowed and said.

Wu Zetian came to a corner of the side hall and used food to tease a canary in a cage, and the finch went up and down in the cage.

"Di Qing, what is there to worry about, Li Bai is just a finch in my cage, so there is nothing to worry about." Wu Zetian Dao.

"Li Bai broke into the forbidden garden of my palace three times twice, flouted the law and discipline, insulted the guards, and threatened the safety of my emperor, if I don't get rid of it, how can the dignity of my Tang Dynasty exist." Di Renjie said.

"Master Di, you are serious, my emperor will not kill Li Bai. The first is to cherish talents, so that the people of the world know that our emperor is the master of merit. The second is to use talents, Li Bai has explored the nests of all the demons in the Western Regions for my Tang Dynasty, and the merits outweigh the faults, my emperor is the king of kindness, how can he wantonly kill meritorious ministers. Shangguan Wan'er said.

"Wan'er is right, this person cannot be killed. Now that we have explored the lair of the demon clan in the Western Regions, Di Qing, who do you say is better to send troops to clear it? "Wu Zetian said.

"As the guard officer of Chang'an City, Weichen only understands law and discipline, not military law, and does not dare to speak falsely." Di Renjie said.

"Master Di, you have always made a plan, you have read countless people, you don't have to be humble, there is a suitable candidate, you might as well say it directly." Shangguan Wan'er said.

"Your Majesty, for many years, the Great Wall of the North has been under the direct guard of the captain Hua Mulan, and it is as solid as a golden stone, and it is as strong as a moat, and it has blocked the demon clan dozens of times, and it has not come to attack, which shows that this person is a genius in using soldiers, which is rare and can be of great use." Di Renjie said.

"Aiqing, what you said is right, yesterday I also heard a report from the Great Wall guard officer Gao Changgong, saying that Captain Mulan led his troops to block the invasion of the demons, and captured a demon alive, and solved it by himself, this person is brave and talented, and he has both of them, and he is the choice of the general, but ......." Wu Zetian Dao.

"Your Majesty, she is the person who knows the demons best, what other concerns do you have?" Di Renjie said.

She has been outside the customs for many years, and it is unknown whether she has the wind of a general, so she ordered Li Jing to be the main general and Hua Mulan to be the deputy general, and led the troops to the Western Regions to encircle and suppress the demons. Su Lie was temporarily appointed as the captain to assist Gao Changgong in guarding the Great Wall. "Wu Zetian said.

"Your Majesty, Shengming." Wu Zetian Dao.

Peony Garden

Under the Peony Pavilion, an old man and a young man are playing a game of tea.

"Master, the person who went to the Western Regions was not Di Renjie, but Li Jing, it's a pity, if he leaves, we can do what we want in Chang'an." Yi Xing.

"Hehe, be careful that the wall has ears." Ming Shi said with his gray beard in his hands.

"Master, don't worry, the neighbors around here have all been bought by me according to your instructions, and we have arranged for our own people to live, master, but be happy, don't worry about him." Yi Xingdao.

"The courtiers who opposed Wu Zetian's accession to the throne back then have already been killed by her, even if there is a Di Renjie, it will be difficult for our coup to ensure success, so we can't rush for a while. The current important ministers of the court, we have to find ways to coax them over, the oil and salt do not enter, and the stubborn ones are all eliminated, including him Di Renjie. The most important point is to take back Li Jing's military power, and tomorrow, I will recommend Pei Baohu to His Majesty. Put him next to Li Jing, and replace him in time. "Ming Shiyin Dao.

"Master, you are still thoughtful, with the power of the army, we can call the wind and rain, and no one dares to stop our plan anymore." Yi Xingdao.
