Chapter 21: After the monarch and ministers meet

Wu Zetian was shocked when he heard this, "What?"

Di Renjie took out a memorial from his sleeve, handed it to Wu Zetian with both hands, and said, "Your Majesty, please read it."

Wu Zetian took Di Renjie's memorial and slowly opened it and read it.

After a while, Wu Zetian slowly raised her head, looked at Di Renjie and said, "I didn't expect that things turned out to be like this."

Di Renjie looked at Wu Zetian and said hesitantly: "I have something to say, do you know whether to say it or not?"

Seeing this, Wu Zetian couldn't help but smile a little and scolded, "Between you and me, of course we have to talk about what should be said, but it doesn't matter if we say what shouldn't be said. Don't worry, just speak out."

Di Renjie thought for a moment before explaining to Wu Zetian, "Logically speaking, the route of the Turkic mission should be a secret between the DPRK and China. How did this gangster know about it?

Moreover, when I entered the capital, I was assassinated by a gangster. How did the gangster know that I was going to the capital?"

Wu Zetian's originally calm mood was disturbed when she heard that Di Renjie had been assassinated in Beijing.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Zetian interrupted Di Renjie with some concern and asked, "Oh! Assassination? Huaiying, are you okay?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am under the protection of General Lin and I am fine." Di Renjie first bowed his hands to Wu Zetian and then to Lin Xuan to express his gratitude.

What Di Renjie said was very well done. He first said nice things to Wu Zetian, and then pointed out Lin Xuan's contribution to Wu Zetian.

"That's good." In fact, Wu Zetian could tell by looking at Di Renjie in front of her that it was nothing serious.

But it's one thing to know, it's another thing entirely that I care about you.

After all, as an emperor, he cares about his ministers from time to time. This can not only reflect the harmonious scene between the emperor and his ministers, but also win over people's hearts. Why not do this?

And this is also one of Wu Zetian's ways of being emperor.

After saying a few words about Wu Zetian, Di Renjie was deeply moved.

Di Renjie resumed what Wu Zetian had interrupted and said, "So, I suspect that there is a traitor in the court."

"Who is that?" Wu Zetian's eyes flashed coldly, and she still smiled and asked Di Renjie.

But whether it was Di Renjie or Lin Xuan standing aside, they could feel Wu Zetian's unabashed murderous intent.

This time, Di Renjie did not give an answer to Wu Zetian's question, but shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't know, important ministers in the court, generals, female officials in the palace, and servants are all possible.

Therefore, Your Majesty, we must be extremely careful in our actions, maybe the traitor is right next to you and me."

Wu Zetian nodded when he heard this, then looked at Di Renjie and said with a smile, "Huaiying, what you said is exactly the same as what he said."

"Oh! Jianzhi also told His Majesty that there was a traitor in the court?" Di Renjie's eyes lit up and he asked happily.

For Di Renjie, it was a happy thing to be able to think about things together with his good friend Zhang Jianzhi.

Wu Zetian nodded and said to Di Renjie in a serious tone, "Huai Ying! You must solve this mystery as soon as possible and severely punish the murderer. Otherwise, war between the two countries will resume and all living beings will suffer."

"Your Majesty, I have made a calculation in my mind. As long as I give you three months, I will solve the case." Di Renjie assured Wu Zetian with deep conviction.

After Wu Zetian heard Di Renjie's assurance, she felt reassured.

On that day, many edicts came out from Zhongshu Province.

1. Recalling General Wang Xiaojie, the commander-in-chief of the march of the Northwest Road, Zuobao Taowei, and starting a war with the Turks will not be easy anymore.

Second, Di Renjie was removed from the post of magistrate of Pengze County, and he was reinstated as the envoy of Fengge Yingtai Pingzhangshi. He then went to Taiyuan, the northern capital, to worship and sweep the ancestral temple on my behalf, accompanied by General Hu Jinghui of Qianniu Guards.

Third, cancel the pursuit of the Gannan Dao guerrilla general and hold him accountable for his dereliction of duty, but order him to serve under Di Renjie and perform meritorious service.

Fourth, remove Lin Xuanyou from the post of General Qianniuwei and change him to the deputy commander-in-chief of the march of Gannan Province.

Tao military affairs.



In the evening, Lin Xuan returned home to Chang'an from the palace.

But when Lin Xuan walked to the lobby, he was a little surprised when he looked at the people sitting in the lobby.
