Di Renjie was so polite on his lips, but he was already alert in his heart, because he heard the name of the eldest grandson Wuji, and it was the eldest grandson Wuji who told the prince that he followed Wei Zheng? Is it necessary for him to be so talkative? Is it intentional or unintentional? So, the prince went to His Majesty to ask for someone, and it was also his instructions?

I wanted to ask a question, but Di Renjie thought of the relationship between the prince and the eldest grandson Wuji, so he didn't show it much, he couldn't say that your uncle was calculating you, so he could only laugh, and he was already thinking about helping.

"Senior brother, junior brother said something that shouldn't be said, you have only graduated for a year, have you forgotten the teachings of the master of the academy? Which of our fellow students in the academy is not self-reliant, and there has been no need for scholars for many years, so when you go to the East Palace, will it be a little ......

The younger brother is saying, will you be a little unaccustomed? ”

As soon as the topic changed, Di Renjie asked the question of the scholar.

Li Chengqian didn't understand anything, smiled and patted Di Renjie's shoulder and said: "Little junior brother, you don't have to see outside, what can't you say, brother knows what you mean, but there is another secret in this matter, where can I not suffer?" It's not that I like to be arrogant and lascivious.

I think he is clever and studious, and in the spirit of loving talents, he stays by his side to cultivate one or two, and if he can be taught in the future, he will recommend him to the academy for further study, definitely not for his own selfishness.

I didn't use him as a scholar, he was in charge of helping with manuscripts and stuff. ”

With such an explanation, Di Renjie was much more relieved, it seems that this senior brother has not changed.

"Speaking of which, the younger brother is too suspicious, the senior brother is different from the younger brother, you are the body of the prince, it is the best to be able to clean yourself, the master cultivated us to be self-reliant, not only to train us, but also to let us learn to be independent and not hindered by others, the senior brother is very careful." Di Renjie admonished.

"Yes, yes, I wrote it down for my brother, I will be careful, you and my brother have not seen each other for many days, and we will not talk about anything else today, and we will rest when we are drunk." Li Chengqian waved his hand.

The two were drunk and went back separately, but Di Renjie returned to Wei Zheng's mansion.

After waking up, Di Renjie hurriedly explained his suspicions to Wei Zheng in detail, Wei Zheng pondered for a long time, and said: "This matter is somewhat unlikely, the eldest grandson Wuji is the prince's own uncle, it stands to reason that he can only help the prince check and fill in the gaps as much as possible, and he will definitely not frame him, because he supports the prince's ascension, he will be from the dragon's work in the future, and he is the supreme and noble relative of the emperor's relatives, which is unreasonable." ”

"But whether he stopped the prince from touching His Majesty's brow when he saw it, this is very suspicious." Di Renjie was skeptical.

"Hehe, the kid has grown a lot, maybe the eldest grandson Wuji doesn't know? How did you know that the crown prince went to His Majesty in front of the eldest grandson Wuji? Don't think about it, the verdict of the case is not only about the evidence, but also about the motives and pros and cons, and don't speculate too arbitrarily. Wei Zheng said.

Di Renjie nodded, but the doubts in his heart were still not dispelled, so he secretly sent a letter to Bai Fan, the master of the academy, explaining his worries about the crown prince Li Chengqian, and saying that he was too small to investigate.

Bai Fan didn't think it was anything when he saw Di Renjie's letter, but when he saw Di Renjie's letter saying that the prince had received a new scholar called Satisfactory, he immediately reacted, isn't this a conspiracy? The old routine of history, I didn't expect that I would keep Li Chengqian in the academy for ten years, but I still couldn't stop the appearance of satisfaction.

Thinking about it, Bai Fan didn't startle the snake, and even didn't take any action except for sending someone to collect some necessary information, and even Emperor Li Er didn't inform him, just like Di Renjie's concerns, without evidence, even if he was a master, he might not necessarily kiss his uncle, saying that the eldest grandson Wuji was not good to Li Chengqian, and no one in the world dared to believe it.

However, Bai Fan sneered, "Old fox, I can see the wind and rudder, I can see Your Majesty's mind Yi Chu, and I can invest in Li Zhi so early, it seems that I still underestimated your cleverness, if it wasn't for my little apprentice to go out of the mountain in time, I would really let the conspiracy behind you succeed." ”

Back then, Emperor Li Er discussed the matter of the prince with Bai Fan, Bai Fan is the first in the world, so he dared to say that he could not be the emperor, so he bluntly said that the prince was not in the eldest and youngest concubines, but in talent and age, if His Majesty worked until he was seventy years old, then Li Chengqian, the crown prince, would be in his fifties, and I am afraid that the emperor would give way in a few years, so it is not suitable.

All this discussion is unknown to others, even Li Chengqian himself does not know, his master is actually not optimistic about him, as for how the emperor Li Er will find a way to replace the crown prince, that is Li Er's headache, if the prince has not been in trouble, the emperor may not bear to abolish the idea.

The situation in Chang'an City is treacherous, after the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Wa Kingdom, because of the problems that broke out in the Boling Cui clan, it was calm for a year, except for the use of southern troops to take a few small countries in Southeast Asia, most of them were still developing steadily.

But domestic stability does not mean that foreign countries can only watch the Tang Dynasty become stronger, and the Northwest and Western Turks tremble all day long under the military might of the Tang Dynasty, but since they deceived tens of thousands of thunderbolts from Tibet, the Western Turks have some courage.

It's just that they didn't expect Tubo to retreat so quickly, and they haven't gotten the method of thundering yet.

Fortunately, by chance, there are many traitors in Datang, and there are even people who sell Datang military secrets, and they don't have to spend too much money.

The Western Turks are not such small countries as the Japanese State, because the Japanese State is purely rich and has nowhere to spend, while the Western Turks are a big country, but the Tang Dynasty completely cut off trade with the Western Turks and changed to overseas trade and domestic demand.

The Western Turks have begun to tighten their pants to live, but after spending dozens of boxes of useless gems, they got the formula of the thunder from Datang, which made the Western Turks land on the big stone in their hearts, and they will never be afraid of Datang from now on.

Moreover, in the past few years, the Tang Dynasty has not moved troops to the northwest, and the Western Turks are not completely indifferent, they will also find a way to survive and begin to expand westward, because the 36 countries of the Western Regions simply cannot support so many people from the Western Turks, and they are even still burdensome.

In view of this, Mo Helu is also eloquent and has a unique vision, using the consistent style of the grassland, robbing others to support himself, the Tang Dynasty can't afford to provoke, isn't there still Hu Shang to the west? If there are Hu merchants, then there will be a country of Hu people, and the cavalry blades of the Great Turks can't beat the Hu people?

So what the Tang Dynasty didn't expect happened, the Western Turks actually followed the example of the desperate Xiongnu who were killed by the Han Dynasty and expanded to the west.

When the news reached Chang'an, His Majesty Li Er was surprised and delighted, happy that the Western Turks did not dare to test the edge of the Tang Dynasty, and what was surprising was that the Western Turks were not pinched by the Tang Dynasty and found a breakthrough.
