Di Renjie listened attentively to Li Hong's words. Although Li Hong didn't reveal anything, his frown had gradually loosened.
Since His Highness the Prince is willing to say this, it means that he agrees. Then he can act easily. As for how to do it, it is his own business.
In the Tang Dynasty, although there was no case that Dali Temple could not investigate or intervene in, if you want to find clues from the star and moon patterns, I am afraid you have to have someone covering it. Otherwise, I am afraid Dali Temple will attract trouble in the court. Criticism.
Now with His Highness the Crown Prince's acquiescence, the only difficulty no longer exists, as long as His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to give a token of some kind.
Sure enough, when Di Renjie looked at Li Hong and was about to speak, Yang Wu respectfully took out a piece of crystal pendant and handed it to Li Hong.
"This crystal pendant is not valuable, so you can just play with it. But let me explain, this is a serious matter, so you still need to think more about it. Although it is said that a phoenix in trouble is not as good as a chicken, it does not mean that it is No one wants to take credit for this," Li Hong said slowly.
"Don't worry, I will be cautious, but... this Belus, do you really plan to let go..." Di Renjie considered Li Hong's words, and then he realized that His Highness the Crown Prince was thinking further than him.
The two of them tacitly planned to target Prince Belus of the Sassanid Kingdom. Di Renjie thought he had understood His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's worries, but looking at Li Hong's face, it was obvious that he had missed something.
Li Hong laughed and waved to him, indicating that he could leave. After Di Renjie stood up, Li Hong said: "Those two people who want to have a relationship with you may hinder you in this case. "
"Well... After all, being gentle and repaying evil with kindness are their top priorities. I think that now that Belus no longer has such great influence, Yan Zhaofu and Kong Zhiyue will not embarrass me, right?" Di Renjie He straightened up and stood there, thinking for a moment and said.
"They wish that this matter would be reduced to a trivial matter. Maybe they will go to your house soon and hope that you will settle the case. If it is delayed for one day, it will be a day of worry for them. It will be settled earlier. . And if you want to continue to investigate now, they may be worried about the negative news that will be brought to Hongwen Hall and the Imperial College, not to mention that if His Majesty knows about it and pursues it, they will have no way to explain it. " Li Hong. He waved his hand again and let Di Renjie figure out the rest by himself. They are all sensible people, and it would be boring to talk any more.
Di Renjie's expression was a little complicated for a moment, but he finally bowed and thanked Li Hong before leaving slowly.
After exiting the Jiafu Gate of the East Palace, Di Renjie dared to take a long breath and thought to himself that it was awesome.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very serious and proactive in understanding the truth of the case, but at the same time, he blocked his way of engaging in fraud for personal gain or being persuaded by Kong Zhiyue and Yan Zhaofu.
The words "They will visit you soon", no matter whether Kong Zhiyue and Yan Zhaofu visited him or not, forced him to get to the bottom of the case.
In addition, "if His Majesty knows about it", it is absolutely necessary for Di Renjie to investigate this case thoroughly, otherwise, if His Majesty finds out, the consequences will be very serious.
But Di Renjie didn't know, or maybe he could vaguely guess in his heart, that His Highness the Crown Prince might have used this case to use his own hands to continue to suppress Hongwen Hall and the Imperial College.
The ultimate goal is probably to turn the Imperial College and Hongwen Hall into institutions of the same nature as Chongwen Hall.
This should not be a secret in the court. The grievances and grievances between him and Dai Zhide, and the mutual verbal exchanges in the court were actually, to put it bluntly, the conflict between the two people's different ideas about the students they wanted to study.
Although in the end His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dismissed Dai Zhide in the name of the Crown Prince, and then appointed Zhang Jianzhi as the Minister of Rites.
However, His Highness the Crown Prince has not achieved fruitful results, and still does not have real control over the Hongwen Pavilion and the Imperial College.
In the final four years of the expedition to Anxi, the feud with Dai Zhide was resolved and Dai Zhide was re-employed. There are still many things that can be interpreted.
Although Dai Zhide was not as famous as Kong Zhiyue and Yan Zhaofu, he still had many students in the court or students who had served as local officials.
His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, has returned triumphantly from the battle in Anxi. I am afraid that it is inevitable to seize control of the Hongwen Pavilion and the Imperial College. In addition, these two places have been in trouble together. If His Royal Highness does not take this opportunity to seize them, Then he is not the prince Li Hong.
While thinking about the intricate network of relationships in the court and the messy interests of the court, he raised his head and saw the figures of Yan Zhaofu and Kong Zhiyue standing at the door of his house from a distance.
The concierge of his own family was accompanying them on one side, talking to the two of them.
Seeing this situation, Di Renjie thought for a moment, and before the two of them noticed him, he quickly dodged and turned onto another road, intending to go around in a circle before going home.
What a good news. As soon as I came out of the Prince's residence, they were already waiting at the entrance of the residence. There seemed to be a lot of spies around His Highness's residence.
Di Renjie was a little frightened. He suddenly felt that he had been involved in a dispute without knowing it. Now it was up to him to take sides.
In Li Hong's bedroom in the main hall of the East Palace, Bai Chun was holding medicinal wine in his hand, helping Li Hong look at the bruises on his inner thighs. The Queen was really ruthless, and with just a little effort, His Highness the Crown Prince's legs were covered with bruises. There are already several bruises and marks.
Xia Zhi followed Li Hong down from the second floor shyly, where Yang Wu was waiting for Li Hong again.
"Your Highness, everything is ready." Yang Wu saluted respectfully.
"Oh, now you are mine, how about it, do you still hold a grudge against my father? You actually gave it to me as soon as you said you were given to me, without caring about the friendship we have had for many years. Isn't it very heartbreaking? You now?" Li Hong patted Yang Wu's shoulder to see if he didn't sit down, and then pressed his shoulder hard, so that Yang Wu dared to half-pull his butt against the sofa and sit down.
"Don't be so nervous. Just sit down and learn from them in the future." Li Hong sat down opposite and continued.
"Yes, Your Highness, I obey your order." Yang Wu felt a little uncomfortable.
Although His Highness the Crown Prince is usually very easy-going, he cannot be too easy-going, not to mention that this is his first day serving His Highness.
"Tell the truth, are you very reluctant to come to my place?" Li Hong looked at Yang Wu playfully and asked.
"I don't dare. I like your majesty's arrangement from the bottom of my heart. I am eager to come and serve you." Yang Wu tried to stand up again to reply, but Li Hong stretched out his hand and suppressed him in the air.
"Why do you like to come to the East Palace? By the way, how many years have you served my father?" Li Hong asked.
"Back to Your Highness, I was transferred to serve Your Majesty in the eleventh year of Zhenguan. Now... thirty-three years have passed. I like the East Palace... Yes... Your Highness, don't be ridiculous. I like the knowledge in Chongwen Hall. Occasionally After His Majesty gives permission, the slave will come and listen, and over time, he will fall in love with it. Moreover, no one in the Chongwen Hall will stay away from the slave because of his status as a slave, because of fear, well... The slave likes to be with them, especially Shou. "Study." Yang Wu was in his fifties and had an embarrassed look on his face, which surprised Li Hong.
At the age of twenty, he was transferred to serve his father. Now his father is forty-two years old. It seems that he was by his side when he was nine years old.
