Li Zhiyun is not worried that the King of Qin or the Prince will notice the conspiracy from their old father at this time, because so far, no one has seen the signs. At most, they will find that the situation is unusual after the fact.
But at that time, the dead end was lost, and I could only swallow the pain.
What's more, this time Lao Li took matters into his own hands. Even if they discovered something was wrong halfway, Lao Li would force the drama to continue.
Those who are confused by the authorities know clearly that Dugu Zhen, a shrewd person, was not tricked by Lao Li.
Dou Wei and Dou resist, they will not be able to escape this time.
Li Zhiyun has sorted out the past of this incident and roughly guessed the future direction of the incident. What he needs to do now is to cooperate with Lao Li and the warrior Xun to play out the scene without running into the Dou family.
.
Outside the play, you need to find a way to bring Pei Ju back from the Turks. This task is a top priority. After discussion, Li Zhiyun and Du Ruhui decided to pool their wisdom and summon the staff of the Prince of Chu's Palace to discuss it carefully.
The next day, Li Zhiyun went to the Yunyang camp for a routine inspection of the training situation of the King of Chu's army, and summoned Xue Shou, Du Ruhui, Xue Yuanjing, Wei Siqi, and Chu Suiliang for discussion.
Discussing matters in the military is safe and reliable.
"In view of the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, we need to complete peace talks with the Turks as soon as possible, otherwise the other rebels will be restrained by the Turks sooner or later the next time we go to war. My father has mentioned this matter many times in the court. I hope you can
Brainstorm and come up with solutions," Li Zhiyun said.
The purpose is to get Pei Ju back. Naturally, Li Zhiyun will not say this directly. The only people at the scene who deserve his absolute trust are Xue Shou and Du Ruhui. The Turkic matter is indeed a headache for the court at present.
Pei Ju has been traveling to the Turks for some time, but there has never been much progress. Although Chu Luo did not directly detain Pei Ju, he was picky about Pei Ju's request for peace talks and acted in a bargaining manner.
Xue Shou had already received an explanation from the King of Chu, so he understood that the main purpose this time was to allow Pei Ju to successfully return to Chang'an.
"Your Highness is right. The last time King Qin conquered Dou Jiande, he saw a great victory in sight. If it weren't for Liu Wuzhou's sudden move south, Hebei would already be the land of our Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the Turks must be well appeased."
Chu Suiliang frowned and reminded: "Your Highness, I have something I don't know whether I should say."
"But it doesn't matter."
"Yes." Chu Suiliang handed over his hand, "The Ministry of Industry's ordnance was stolen. The saint asked His Highness to solve the case within half a month. But the time is approaching. Could it be that Your Highness has already found the murderer?"
If the murderer was not found, why would the King of Chu meddle in other people's affairs?
However, Li Zhiyun shook his head and said, "I have not been found yet."
Hearing this, Chu Suiliang immediately persuaded him: "Your Highness is thinking about national affairs, and I can fully understand His Highness's painstaking efforts. However, this time the Ministry of Industry's ordnance was stolen, the Saint was furious. If His Highness cannot solve the case, I am afraid he will be punished. Please be brave, please."
Your Highness will temporarily track down the stolen ordnance, but as for the Turks, you can put it aside for the time being."
Wei Siqi glanced at him and said: "Brother Chu, what you said is wrong. It is important to track down the stolen weapons, but the Turkic matter is also very important. We must not abandon it."
"But there is always a matter of precedence." Chu Suiliang said: "The saint asked His Highness to solve the case within a time limit, and the Turkic matter is not in a hurry!"
Chu Suiliang's starting point was good. He said these words without knowing the facts, and he fully fulfilled his responsibility.
Li Zhiyun pressed his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Regarding the case of the stolen ordnance from the Ministry of Industry, I believe you all know that the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Samurai Yun, is responsible for the external search, and I am responsible for uncovering the insiders hiding in the Ministry of Industry. These days, I have arrested all the people the Ministry of Industry can
We have arrested them all and interrogated all the suspicious people. But it is a pity that the king did not find the culprit. Now, looking at it, we can only place our hope on the warrior Xun."
Chu Suiliang frowned slightly. He always felt that there was something wrong with what he said. King Chu didn't seem like someone who gave up easily.
Xue Yuanjing said: "Brother Chu, actually I think that even if the murderer is not found in the end, the one who should be punished is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. A saint will not do anything to His Highness."
"How can you bet on the attitude of a saint with this kind of thing?" Chu Suiliang said unhappily.
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun was a little surprised and looked at Chu Suiliang more. Although Chu Suiliang was currently working under him, his level of confidants was naturally far less than that of Xue Shou and Du Ruhui. Chu Suiliang could say such a pertinent statement.
His words show his loyalty.
"Chun Jun, please be patient." Li Zhiyun consoled him, "I have already taken care of the case of the theft of ordnance. There is no conflict between discussing the Turkic affairs and investigating the theft of the ordnance."
Seeing what Li Zhiyun said, Chu Suiliang naturally would not continue to fight hard.
Immediately, everyone began to discuss how to promote peace talks between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks. After brainstorming, everyone came up with many practical and effective methods.
Among them, Xue Shou and Du Ruhui suggested that the imperial court send people to Youzhou with great fanfare to contact Tuli Khan Shibobi, so as to alienate and threaten the Turks.
Li Zhiyun thought this article was very good and immediately asked Xue Yuanjing to write it down.
In addition, Wei Siqi, Chu Suiliang and others also gave their own methods one after another, and they all gathered together and wrote a full piece of paper.
Finally, Li Zhiyun wrote a summary himself, then wrote a memorial, signed his name, and wrote to Li Yuan when he was going to go to court.
The meeting dispersed, with Du Ruhui and Xue Cao walking at the back.
"We're playing a little big this time." Xue Shuang's eyes were solemn.
Du Ruhui chuckled, "The bigger the bet, the more you will win. Think about it, if we win this time, His Highness will be able to easily intervene in the affairs of the court in the future."
"That's right. If you insist on seeking stability, it will be difficult to make progress." Xue Shou nodded.
Du Ruhui whispered: "Warrior Yun, I leave it to you."
"Don't worry, I will take care of it."
"Hmm."
Chu Suiliang and Xue Yuanjing were walking together. He looked at Du Ruhui and Xue Suo who were talking in low voices behind him, and at Wei Siqi in front who was talking to His Highness the King of Chu with a flattering smile. He always felt that something was wrong. But what exactly?
No, he couldn't say it.
"Yuan Jing, I always feel that His Highness seems to be hiding something from us." He said to Xue Yuanjing in a low voice.
Xue Yuanjing was startled for a moment, then shook his head and said: "What can His Highness hide from us? You are thinking too much."
"But..." Before he could finish his words, he bit his tongue.
Everyone stopped in front of the camp gate and said goodbye to each other.
Chu Suiliang looked at Wei Siqi leaving with the King of Chu, and murmured in his heart, when did Wei Siqi become so valued by the king?
Of course Wei Siqi knew that the king paid so much attention to him not because of his ability, but because of his cousin.
But what does it matter?
If the king can get his wish, his future path will only become wider and wider.
Whoever my cousin marries in the future is not a marriage. If she can marry the King of Chu, she can live a good life in the future.
