In Ziwei City, Empress Wu Zetian of the Great Zhou Dynasty was walking in the back garden outside Shangyang Palace accompanied by Wang Wu Sansi of Liang Wang. Seeing that Wu Zetian was a little tired, Wang Liang leaned over to salute and said, "Your Majesty, it’s getting late. Your Majesty will rest early. It is the blessing of your Majesty and the common people that the frontier pass has repeatedly reported good news, but the ministers are very frightened to see that his majesty is working hard on national affairs but failing to share his worries!
Wu Zetian knew that his nephew, even though he had been appointed King Liang and served as the prime minister, but Wu Sansi was jealous of the virtuous, formed a party for private interests, and relied on Wu Zetian's power to be a domineering blessing on weekdays! Even so, he thinks of blood and family, and he is loyal to Wu Zetian, so Wu Zetian loves him and hates him, loves his loyalty, and hates him too much!
"Think twice, I am very happy that you have this loyalty, but recently there are some rumors about you, you have to constrain a little!" Wu Zetian looked at the humbling Wu Sansi and said!
At this moment, the servant came to report, "Your Majesty, Master Zhang Kamzhi, please see you!"
"Oh? It's so late, what are you doing here?" Wu Zetian muttered suspiciously!
"Your Majesty, why don't I go to see him first, if there is nothing serious, I won't disturb your majesty to rest!" Wu Sansi said respectfully!
"Forget it, Kamzhi came so late, there must be something important, declare him to come in!" Wu Zetian ordered!
Seeing that Wu Zetian didn't pay attention to his words, Wu Sansi stepped aside in embarrassment!
The waiter screamed and retired! After a while, he took the prime minister Zhang Kanzhi and came back!
Zhang Jianzhi followed the servant to the garden with a panic expression on his face, seeing Wu Zetian leaning over to give a salute, "Chen Zhang Jianzhi, see your majesty!"
"Cambodia, what happened?" Wu Zetian asked!
"Your Majesty, something has happened!" Zhang Jianzhi bowed and replied!
"Oh?" Wu Zetian was taken aback!
"Your Majesty, the Chinese Book Ministry just received an urgent report from Hedong Road six hundred miles, saying that General Liu Maoyuan of Youjinwuwei led his troops and disappeared on the way back to the court!" Zhang Jianzhihui reported!
After listening to Zhang Jianzhi's words, Wu Zetian took a breath, "What did you say?"
"The Shuozhou provincial governor reported that tens of thousands of General Liu and his men disappeared in the Black Desert yesterday morning! The report said that General Liu's army might have encountered the legendary nine-headed black sand!" Zhang Jian Said with some trepidation!
Wu Zetian screamed and couldn't help taking two steps backwards, and Liang Wang Wu Sansi was also shocked on the spot!
"My army just
How could the rebels who suppressed the Turks disappeared without a reward? It's really weird! King Liang, what do you think? "Wu Zetian looked at Liang Wangwu three times and asked!
"This..." Wu Sansi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, could it be that the Turkic rebels have revived and killed our Dazhou army halfway?"
In addition, the reading app I am using recently has a lot of books, full of books, and fast updates!
"Fortunately, you are still the prime minister, Liu Maoyuan led tens of thousands of people, even if the Turkic rebels will kill for a while, how can no one find it?" Wu Zetian glared at Wu Sansi, and said with a slight reprimand!
"Your Majesty's forgiveness! It's the minister who made a mistake!" Wu Sansi was so frightened that he leaned over and bowed, and said respectfully!
"Khanzhi, what do you think of this matter? Have you ever heard of the nine-headed black sand in the newspaper?" Wu Zetian looked at Zhang Jianzhi and asked!
"His Majesty, the minister thinks that there must be something wrong with this matter. I think that General Liu has been fighting on the battlefield for decades. Even if he encounters an ambush, he will not have the power to resist. The actual report said that except for a few flags and scattered There are no corpses in the weapons, the local people rumored... "Zhang Jianzhi seems to have some worries, he wants to stop talking!
"Cambodia, go on!" Wu Zetian said!
"Yes! There are indeed rumors in the shops that there is a monster in the black desert named Nine Heads of Black Sand. When this monster appears, dark clouds will cover the sun and the ground will shake. If General Liu really encounters this monster, I am afraid There is really no possibility of surviving!" Zhang Jianzhi said in panic!
"This?" Wu Zetian also seemed a little frightened!
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is only one person above the court who can thoroughly investigate this matter!" Liang Wang Wu Sansi said from the side!
Zhang Jianzhi looked at Wu Sansi. He knew who Wu Sansi was talking about, but he didn't expect that King Liang, who had always been at odds with Li and Tang's old officials, would be able to recommend him today!
"You are talking about Di Huaiying, right?" Wu Zetian asked Wu Sansi, looking at Wu Sansi grimly!
"His Majesty, it is Elder Di Ge! No matter what kind of strange cases encountered in the past, as long as Elder Di Ge comes out to investigate, the investigation will come to the bottom!" Wu Sansi bowed and said!
"Yeah! What King Liang said is reasonable, come here, Xuan Di Renjie enters the palace!" Wu Zetian ordered!
Di House, Di Chun was holding tea and walking quickly toward the main hall!
"Di Chun!" Suddenly there was a cry from behind, Di Chun stopped and saw Li Yuanfang trot up from behind!
When Di Chun saw Li Yuanfang, he smiled and said, "General Li, it's you! Why haven't you rested so late?"
Li Yuanfang smiled and said: "I can't sleep, I want to talk to an adult, or
Go and rest, I'll bring tea to the adults! "
Di Chun nodded, and handed the tray with the tea bowl to Li Yuanfang!
In the study of Di Fu, Di Renjie was sitting behind the desk, watching something quietly. After a while, Di Renjie stood up, paced back and forth, muttering, "It's so weird!"
At this moment, Li Yuanfang opened the door and walked in, "My lord, please use tea!"
Di Renjie didn't look up, and asked, "Di Chunna, has General Li slept yet?"
Li Yuanfang smiled slightly and said, "My lord, the humble job hasn't slept yet!"
Di Renjie was taken aback and raised his head, only to realize that the person entering was not Di Chun, but Li Yuanfang. Di Renjie laughed and said, "It's you! Hahaha!"
"My lord, forgive me, come here uninvited!" Li Yuanfang also said with a smile!
"Hahaha! It's just right! Yuanfang, let me show you this!" With that, Di Renjie handed Li Yuanfang the transcript of Zhang Jian's order!
Li Yuanfang gradually frowned as he looked at the content on the paper!
"Missing?" Li Yuanfang asked in surprise!
"Well! This is an urgent report sent by the governor of Shuozhou, Hedong Province. The tens of thousands of soldiers from the Zhou Dynasty were all strangely missing, and there was no corpse on the scene except for a few flags. There must be an intermediate phase. Why!" Di Renjie nodded and said!
"My lord, the army squad will pass through the black desert. There is often quicksand in this desert. Could these soldiers be buried by the quicksand? I once saw this quicksand when I was a guerrilla general in Gannan Road. If it is swallowed by quicksand, rely on I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of my own power!" Li Yuanfang said in horror!
"If a few people encountered quicksand and were buried, it would be reasonable, but you must know that General Liu led an army of tens of thousands? By the way, Yuanfang, have you ever heard of a person in this black desert? A monster called nine-headed black sand?" Di Renjie said solemnly!
"Master, someone from the palace passed on the decree!" Before Li Yuanfang spoke, Di Chunfei ran in and said!
"Quick, take the order quickly!" Di Renjie straightened his clothes and walked out!
"Lao Di Ge, let the saint preach a verbal order, Xuan Di Ge will enter the palace quickly!" After the palace man said, he helped Di Renjie, who was kneeling on the ground, up, "Old Ge, the carriage is already waiting outside the door!"
"Okay, lead the way!" Di Renjie said with a smile!
Soon the carriage stopped outside Shangyang Palace, and the palace people led Di Renjie into the Shangyang Palace quickly!
