Chapter 8 Beauty Obsession
(one)
During the morning court, all officials stood up, and Wu Zetian's remnant anger was not gone.
One person wrote to him: "When Your Majesty's spring tour, the Tubo delegation took advantage of the chaos to rebel and disturb the Holy Lord. It was obvious that there had been a premeditation. There were also people with unknown identities lurking in the capital for several years and waiting for an opportunity to assassinate him. Such a careful plan, Your Majesty's trip was under the control of the enemy. I expected that there would be Tubo's internal response in the court to allow the thief to be unobstructed."
When Wu Zetian read, the person who wrote the letter was Lai Junchen, the attendant.
Lai Junchen also reported: "The Tubo delegation can enter the Shendu very much, but it is unlikely that it will have nothing to do with the Jinwu Guard."
Seeing that Lai Junchen was convinced, Cheng Zhengyi wanted to add a crime, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "I am indeed guilty of being indifferent to the punishment, but understanding foreign affairs is purely nonsense. Please ask Your Majesty to investigate clearly."
Before Wu Zetian could speak, Di Renjie knelt down again and said, "To suppress the thieves in the hidden Shendu the day before yesterday, I have always been with General Cheng. I believe that General Cheng has no time to inform the Tubo thieves."
Lai Junchen chased after him and said: "Mr. Di has always been clear-headed, but he is confused at this time? His Majesty was attacked and it was a traitor who had already arranged it. Why should I report the message temporarily?"
Di Renjie said anxiously: "If General Cheng was a traitor, he knew that we were going to ambush, so he would have told the lurking person long ago that he would escape."
Wu Zetian sighed lightly and said, "I will first step down as General Cheng Zhengyi, and I will be put into trouble after I find out."
Cheng Zhengyi was about to speak, but when he saw Di Renjie wink at him, he glared at Lai Junchen hatefully and received the order to thank him.
Wu Zetian asked again: "What can those thieves lurking in the Shendu?
Di Renjie said: "Report to Your Majesty, these people are resisting stubbornly and remain silent until now."
"I have some ways to deal with such thieves. I dare to ask the emperor to hand over those thieves to the weak ministers. I will be able to find the result."
Lai Junchen narrowed his eyes and looked at Di Renjie, his eyes full of contempt and a bit of sinister spirit.

Di Renjie felt a stern and said to himself: "'The other world' has been in chaos for many years, and finally caught a few prominent figures. If Lai Junchen brought it up, this person is cruel and ruthless. If the person from the other world would rather die than attack, the line would be broken again."
He hurriedly replied: "I have a way to let them speak."
Lai Junchen glanced at Di Renjie and smiled and said, "If Lord Di had a solution, it would not be a success overnight. I am afraid that this matter would be involved with Lord Di. Lord Di is afraid that the incident will be revealed..."
Seeing that Lai Junchen was coming in a fierce manner, Di Renjie gritted his teeth and said, "Long live my life, I will give me another day."
Lai Junchen wanted to retort again, Wu Zetian waved his hand and said to Di Renjie: "If Lord Di still has no results tomorrow, he will transfer the case to the envoy. All the ministers have to report it early and leave if they have nothing to do."
Although Lai Junchen was unwilling to accept it, he could only retreat in disappointment.
After retiring from the court, Di Renjie secretly thanked him and thought: In order to win favor, he did everything. If he was negligent this time, not only would he not be able to thoroughly investigate the matters in the other world, but he would not even be involved with Cheng Zhengyi and could not prove his innocence. As the saying goes, "Accompanying the king is like a tiger." Even if Di Renjie regards himself as noble, he cannot resist the slander and flattery of villains. At this time, the trend of high-level secrets in the court is prevalent. If he is negligent, he will definitely be doomed.

Di Renjie returned to his mansion and sighed in the rain pavilion in the garden.
The flowers in the garden are not blooming, and the spring breeze is still bleak and chilly. The rain pavilion is in the middle of the garden, about six steps long and wide. Although there are no carved railings and painted buildings, the design is elegant.
Di Renjie was at a loss and walked under the pavilion. Suddenly, he heard someone singing:
A swan flies high, and a thousand miles away.
The feathers have already arrived and are bounded across the world.
What should I do if I can cross the world?
Even if there is a ban, what is still available?
The singer seems to have ambitions that cannot be displayed, and it looks even more desolate and sad when it comes to the song.
Di Renjie shouted, "Who is noisy?"
I saw a white light falling from the sky and slowly falling into the garden. When I looked closely, I was standing three feet from Liyu Pavilion. This man was about forty years old, wearing a white dress, wearing a purple cloak, a tall forehead and beautiful beard, with a clear and upright appearance, and a dignified appearance.
Di Renjie was shocked. You should know that the back garden was hidden in the mansion five times, and the courtyard wall was eight feet high. This person was able to enter and exit freely. Moreover, it was not difficult for the master to jump onto the courtyard wall, but he could slowly descend from mid-air. This lightness skill was no different from himself.
Seeing that this person had no malice, Di Renjie bowed and said, "I don't know what the heroine is going to visit?"

The man raised his head and said, "I am the King of Han... No, I am the commoner Liu Bang."
Seeing that he was speechless, Di Renjie laughed secretly, but saw that he was majestic and seemed to be a bit emperor-like. He actually called himself Emperor Gaozu of Han. He was confused, but he remembered that he was troubled by things, so he didn't have time to argue with him. He said, "I still have important things. If the knights don't have anything else, please give it."
After saying that, he made a gesture to send guests off.
Liu Bang scratched his head.
"Hey, tsk... Seeing Lord Di sighing, maybe, there is something wrong with me, can I help?"
Di Renjie thought to himself: It would be fine if I don’t cure you for breaking through random things, but I still dare to get entangled.
Liu Bang said again: "I...hey!...I heard that Lord Di captured five thieves yesterday. Those five seemed to be related to a mysterious organization. I know a little about that mysterious organization."
Di Renjie vaguely felt that this person who claimed to be Liu Bang was not simple, and thought to himself: Could he be a person from the other world? Could it be that he came to save people?
He held the token in his sleeve, his face remained unchanged, and he gestured and said, "This is not a place to speak, Mr. Liu, please."
Di Renjie led Liu Bang to a secluded room in the garden and asked Liu Bang to sit down. The room was full of tables and chairs. Di Renjie took a teapot and poured a cup of tea for Liu Bang. Liu Bang did not doubt it, and sat down casually, picked it up and drank it.
Di Renjie asked in a low voice: "What does the mysterious organization Mr. Liu mean by? "
Liu Bang put down the teacup and said with a smile: "This news is worth ten thousand yuan, so I can't tell Lord Di for nothing. I just hope Lord Di can also exchange some valuable news for it."
Di Renjie thought to himself: This person is also a whimsical person. How could I negotiate terms with a stranger?
Liu Bang said again: "I have been in this dynasty for more than 20 years. I just wanted to find someone, but there is no reliable news yet, but this person seems to be related to Lord Di."
Di Renjie took a sip of tea and said, "I wonder who Mr. Liu is referring to?"
"Yu Ji." Liu Bang replied.
(five)
Di Renjie was shocked and barely restrained his emotions and said, "I have never known this name."
Liu Bang smiled and said, "Don't bully me, Lord Di, Yu Ji is the insider who is placed in the mysterious organization!"
With a "bang", Di Renjie couldn't hold the tea bowl in his hand and fell to the ground. The tea water spread all over the ground and suddenly stood up.
Liu Bang hurriedly said, "Sir Di, don't be anxious, I haven't finished speaking yet..."
Di Renjie said: "If you don't say anything, please leave, Mr. Liu, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
Liu Bang calmly picked up the teacup and said, "Actually, I am also a person from the 'an other world' mentioned by Lord Di, but does Lord Di know that there are many kinds of people from the 'an other world'?"
Di Renjie sneered and said to himself: I see what kind of flowers you can say.
Liu Bang said: "The so-called 'different world' people were summoned by a mysterious force. They came from different dynasties and generations. It was not their original intention to come to this dynasty. Such people are divided into two types."
Di Renjie said oh.
Liu Bang also said: "One is living people, they all have their own thoughts, they are summoned and forced to do nothing, and the other is dead people, they have no thoughts, and they have become tools for people with other goals."
Di Renjie asked, "Then who are you?"
Liu Bang sighed and said, "I am not both of these two types. I came here by myself just to find one person - Yu Ji."
Seeing that Di Renjie gradually became interested, Liu Bang said with great interest: "Tsk, Yu Ji's beauty and the lonely king, no, they have some connection with me..."
Liu Bang raised his head slightly, narrowed his eyes, as if he recalled a wonderful picture, on the banks of the Wujiang River, the maple leaves are red all over the sky, and the beautiful man is beautiful.

"I didn't want to force Xiang Yu to death, so I bribed the boatman and asked him to cross Xiang Yu to Jiangdong. I thought Yu Ji was dead the night before, but just when Xiang Yu committed suicide, I saw her rush out and hugged Xiang Yu and cried. Xiang Yu muttered something: Aren't you gone? Aren't you gone?"
"Actually, the night before, Xiang Yu had already been determined to die, so he asked Yu Ji to pretend to die and let her fly away. She didn't have to come back, but she came back."
At this time, Liu Bang's eyes shone brightly, and his excitement was beyond words.
"No matter whether she came back for him or not, she was still not dead. At this moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds and lightning, and Xiang Yu's body disappeared, and Yu Ji was also gone!"
At first, Di Renjie felt that what Liu Bang said was a bit different from the historical records, but when he saw that Liu Bang said this, he was vivid in his mind. It was as true as his personal experience, and it was reasonable. Liu Bang did not stop thinking when he told the story, and in addition, he was sincere in his words to Yu Ji, so Di Renjie believed it a little.
Di Renjie asked, "What's next?"
Liu Bang said: "At that time, I didn't know how many people were summoned by this mysterious power to this dynasty. I only knew that my eyes were dark. A group of people seemed to be performing some rituals in front of a huge copper gate. I looked around and found that Yu Ji secretly ran out from behind the crowd. When I followed him out again, she was gone, and her lightness skills were definitely above me."
When Di Renjie wanted to ask again, Liu Bang waved his hand and said, "Hehe, Lord Di, I have already said everything, but you still haven't mentioned anything I want to know!"
