Chapter 736 Difficult Choice

On July 27 of the third year of Yifeng, Liu Rengui originally said that Caizhou's case was complicated and difficult to take care of it. He asked the soldiers to divide the army into two ways. He himself rushed to Caizhou to investigate the case, and the matter of Dajiaoguan was at the disposal of Liu Yizhi. The Empress Wu was allowed to go, and the matter was settled. Liu Rengui led the crowd to rush to Caizhou on July 28, while Liu Yizhi, together with the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and other departments, were responsible for the identification of the identity of Dajiao Guanren.

The identity of Dajiao Guanren and others are undoubtedly Xibei goods. If you really want to investigate, it can't be concealed, but it depends on who is investigating. As far as Liu Yizhi's descendant party is concerned, he will naturally not do to reveal the truth. Of course, he dares not "seriously" investigate, because there is not only the prince's party watching. People all over the world are also watching, so Liu Yizhi can only investigate with great fanfare. He also summons all kinds of people in Dajiao Palace to record confessions, and sends staff to Qixia Mountain and Jiugong Mountain to collect evidence. It's not noisy. As for the progress, there is almost nothing else, just because Liu Yizhi dares not take it lightly at all. It is easy to close the case. What he is afraid of is that once this chapter is moved, he is very likely to be caught by the prince's side, so he can only delay the investigation. This delay lasted for nearly a month. It was not until this chapter of Liu Rengui in Caizhou arrived at the capital, that Liu Yizhi hurriedly closed the case and then went to this chapter.

This chapter of Liu Rengui is very long and has a lot of words. He analyzed the whole case in detail. As for the conclusion, it is not much different from what was written by Liu Daming, the assassin of Caizhou. He just pointed out the "facts" that all kinds of people in Qixia Mountain are very likely to be the remnants of Wagang, and used this to ask the imperial court to be severely seized. The remnants of Qixia Mountain, of course, at the end of this chapter did not forget the impeachment of Caizhou assassin Liu Daming and Sima Lichun's blasphemy, and Liu Yizhi's chapter does not unexpectedly prove the "innocent" of all kinds of people in Dajiao Palace. The two chapters were handed over to the Empress Wu one after another, and the specific investigation was sued. The rest depends on how the Empress Wu made a decision.

On August 28 of the third year of Yifeng, it was the day of the Great Dynasty. Queen Wu first commended the diligence of the two presiding judges of Caizhou in court, Liu Rengui and Liu Yizhi, and then it was not allowed to question the ministers, so they made a final ruling on the whole case - Caizhou assassin Liu Daming committed dereliction of duty, but it was able to When the whole case was solved, there was no small contribution. Although the merit was not enough to break the crime, it should not be seriously punished. Zhengzhou Sima can be used to see the effect. Caizhou Sima Lichun's protection was unfavorable, which was really a big fault. He thought that he made a small contribution in solving this case, did not punish him heavily, and dismissed his post; Qixia Mountain's bandits were rampant, and the crime was unforgivable, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice issued a sea arrest. Documents, the world is on the look for it! At the same time, Queen Wu did not forget to confirm the "innocent" of the big horns in court, and banned the subjects of the world to discuss more on the grounds that the master of the state religion could not be blasphemed. At this point, the Caizhou case was concluded.

The case is closed. Li Xian did not stir up more trouble in this case. First, it is not necessary. Li Xian, who should be left and right, has already got it. No matter how many branches he has, it is difficult to gain much. If he pretend to be confused, he will go. Second, there is another big thing that involves Li Xian's energy, that is The Great Food State sent a large-scale envoy to conclude an alliance with the Tang Dynasty. Now it has passed Longguan and is rushing to Chang'an.

Da Shi, such as those who founded the country, have always been deeply disgusted by Li Xian. In his opinion, this is a cancerous country, and it is fundamental that it must be completely eliminated. However, now the time is not ripe, and it is not the time to really take action to conclude a contract that is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty. It is impossible to say that the only function of signing the left and right covenant is to tear it up. Even if it is a little concession, it is not a big deal. In view of this, Li Xian is ready to sign the last peace agreement. For this reason, he released some news to test the reaction of the courtiers. Unexpectedly, the news was released. Unexpectedly, there was an uproar, and the sound of war suddenly rose. As if the food was destroyed, it did not show the strength of the Tang Dynasty. Under the crazy spread of public opinion, the pressure on Li Xian's shoulder suddenly increased, and he had to call the two counselors to discuss the response.

"Gong Zhang, Mr. Di, it seems that the Queen is afraid that she will not give up if she doesn't exhaust all the soldiers in her hands. What should she do now?"

In the study of the East Palace, Li Xian, dressed in casual clothes, sat on his head and looked at the two counselors with a cold expression. He opened his mouth deeply in a deep tone, and there was a faint evil spirit in his eyes. Up to now, how could Li Xian not see through the tricks behind the sound of war? It was just a party of the Empress Wu. It's just to add fuel to the flames. It's not to sincerely promote the national prestige of the Tang Dynasty, but to send all the Hexi troops managed by Li Xian to the distant Middle East to weaken Li Xian's military power from the root. This is obviously not the situation that Li Xianle agreed.

"Your Highness, the reason why this wind rises is not only that the Queen Mother is stirring up trouble in the back, and Your Majesty may not be so careful. If the king of Yue adds fuel to the flames, the situation may turn sharply. It is really unavoidable."

Li Xian can see through the strangeness, and Zhang Jianzhi can naturally do it. Not only that, he sees it more thoroughly than Li Xian, and his words are full of anxiety.

"Well, what Zhang Gong said, and what I am worried about is also here. In my opinion, the latter party is not afraid, and the eighth uncle can't make a big wave. Only my father is very difficult to work hard. Can the second father teach me?"

Li Xian was originally a wise man. As soon as Zhang Jianzhi reminded him, he quickly woke up. His heart sank. Although his face was still calm, there were layers of fine sweat beads on his forehead - since the ancient emperor's heart was the most unpredictable. In front of the throne, the heavenly family has never been a father or son, and no emperor could tolerate it. The reason why the lower leaders supported the soldiers and others are self-respecting. The reason why there was the Hexi Army's expedition to the Persian Gulf in the previous episode was that Gao Zong's psychology was strange. This time, it was only a little flirting after eliminating the martial arts. It was strange that Gao Zong did not push the boat smoothly - if this battle could be won, and the prestige of the Tang Dynasty could be promoted. At the same time, Gao Zong could also bring the Hexi Army in a name. All of them were left in the Middle East and quietly released the military power in Li Xian's hands. If it is defeated, it doesn't matter to Gao Zong. The survival of the army in Hexi in the left and right will not affect the stability of the central government at all. With such an opportunity to eliminate Li Xian's military power, there is no reason for Gao Zong to disallow it.

"Your Highness, don't worry. Di has a strategy. Maybe it can be used, but you have to take some risks."

Seeing the danger does not mean that you can find a proper response. Even if he is as strong as Li Xian, he also has a sense of being overstretched, but Di Renjie doesn't care. He smiled and said broadly.

"Oh? What's your best idea, please tell me."

When Li Xian was thinking about it, when he heard that Di Renjie had a way to deal with this matter, his heart suddenly relaxed and hurried to ask questions.

"Your Highness, the army in Hexi has emerged in the disaster of Tubo. Now that Tubo has been flattened, and the foundation of existence has been lost. Your Majesty has a desire to reduce it for a long time. The reason why you dare not plan early is nothing more than the power of Your Highness. It has been a long time, and it is indeed time for your majesty to take power. If the Hexi army does not move, it should be in Tubo. I made some articles on a matter, but it's easy to calm down, but it's not easy to grasp the balance. I dare not say it properly, and I have to make a detailed decision.

Li Xian asked, but Di Renjie would not fail to answer, so he analyzed the situation and the psychological changes of Gao Zong in detail, and then vaguely came up with a solution.

"Well..."

Hearing Di Renjie's words, Li Xian's head inevitably got bigger. You should know that Tubo is a land of tigers and wolves. At the beginning, when they destroyed Tubo, they attacked with a powerful Hexi army and paid the lives of tens of tens of thousands of soldiers, so that they forcibly destroyed the country. If the wind and clouds rise again on the plateau, I don't know. How many more soldiers are filled in it? Li Xian really doesn't want to take this risk!

"Does Mr. Zhang have another plan?"

Li Xian pondered for a long time, but he still couldn't make this decision, so he threw the problem to the silent Zhang Jianzhi.

"Although Di Gong's plan is dangerous, if it is properly controlled, it is not a good move. It's just that the timing must be grasped and stopped. It appears too early. It is unfavorable to the overall situation. If it is too late, it may be difficult to change, and you must be cautious."

Military power has always been a taboo for emperors. Even if Gao Zong has ignored politics for a long time, he will not tolerate Li Xian, the prince, who has military power in his hands. Even if this article breaks the sky, it is difficult to change Gao Zong's mind of cutting power. Zhang Jianzhi has seen this very thoroughly, and because of this, Zhang Jianzhi does not think A more appropriate strategy is only to refine Di Renjie's strategy.

"The timing? Well..."

Seeing that the opinions of the two counselors were basically the same, Li Xian also understood that things really had to go like this, but the heavy feeling in his heart not only did not diminish, but also became a little heavier, and he calmly refused to make a decision easily.

"Your Highness, it is expedient to be in a hurry. If the Hexi army is far away, Your Highness will be liquidated by the Hou party and the King of Yue. At that time, I'm afraid there will be a big disaster!"

Li Xian refused to make a decision. The atmosphere in the room was suffocating. Di Renjie was better. After all, his nature was relatively calm and he could still be stable. Zhang Jianzhi, who was in a hurry, couldn't help it. He opened his mouth again to remind him.

"Wow..., come on, let's pass on to Zhuang Yong and see you immediately!"

At this point, Li Xian can no longer remain silent. The reason is very simple. If he falls into the dilemma of being attacked and unable to defend himself, how can he talk about the future? Therefore, no matter how reluctant he is, Li Xian can only grow his breathlessly, and then grit his teeth, raise his tone, and break his throat...
