Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 335 An oversight

Di Renjie stood there in shock for a long time, and then his face suddenly changed as if he suddenly realized something.

Fang Xuanling, like Di Renjie, was a man of both civil and military talents, but Di Renjie was smarter and his reputation in the Tang Dynasty was far less than that of Fang Xuanling.

But Fang Xuanling's negligence this time obviously underestimated His Majesty's decisiveness and courage.

When Fang Xuanling hurried to the Imperial Garden with the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs, Di Renjie was already waiting here. Looking at Fang Xuanling with a gloomy face, Di Renjie cupped his hands and then said: "Master Fang, please, so It’s really a bit urgent to call you over so late.”

Fang Xuanling looked at Di Renjie with cold eyes and said in a calm tone: "Master Di, I still don't know why Master Di suddenly made such a ridiculous proposal.

Since Your Majesty wants to conquer Dashi personally, why do you need to use money? The Tang Dynasty was so prosperous, why worry about not having enough money and food? What's more, His Majesty is in poor health, and such a large expenditure on the treasury will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of the ministers in the DPRK. "

The two of them sat down in the pavilion of the Royal Garden, and then Di Renjie said slowly: "Master Fang is unaware that His Majesty is now suffering from a serious illness.

That's why I suggested that your majesty take advantage of this opportunity to personally conquer Dashi and Persia. Moreover, if your majesty personally conquers, you can avoid those ministers and shut them up. "

"Oh? This is strange. When did His Majesty suffer from a serious illness? Why didn't the ministers know about it? Where did Mr. Di learn that His Majesty was ill?" Fang Xuanling asked in surprise.

Yang Yanzhang looked at Di Renjie and Fang Xuanling. Their expressions could be described as colorful. One was nervous and worried, while the other was full of interest.

It seemed like two children were playing between the two of them, without any demeanor of a court minister.

However, Di Renjie's words made Yang Yanzhang feel happy. Yes, yes, Di Renjie finally learned that in the court, he could not only speak, but also know how to figure out his meaning and words.

"Di Renjie, I just praised you, but you gave me such a great gift. It seems that you are a conscientious minister." Yang Yanzhang said with a smile.

"I don't dare to be a minor minister, I don't dare to be a minor minister." Di Renjie shook his head and said modestly.

"I am seriously ill. For the time being, I have only told my mother and you. You two should keep quiet. I don't want the doctors at the Imperial Medical Office to know about my condition.

Therefore, I want you two to keep it secret. At the same time, you two are not allowed to convene the court officials in private to discuss countermeasures. I do not allow anyone to interfere with military affairs. "While Yang Yanzhang was speaking, he saw that the palace maid had already served hot tea, so he waved his hand to ask the palace maid to leave.

Then he said to Di Renjie and Fang Xuanling: "I know my body. I just feel cold occasionally. Although I have a slight cough, it doesn't affect anything. You two don't have to worry. I know it very well."

"I will obey the imperial edict!" Di Renjie and Fang Xuanling bowed before sitting down.

Di Renjie sat opposite Yang Yanzhang. Seeing Yang Yanzhang's understatement, he couldn't help but frown deeper. This should not be the way for his Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to conduct his life.

But now, Yang Yanzhang's attitude is extremely open, without even a trace of concealment. Could it be that His Majesty is really as terminally ill as Di Renjie guessed? Otherwise, how could you agree to Di Renjie's request so easily? "Master Di, whether it is you or Fang Qing's family, your Majesty's poor health must not be leaked to anyone. Otherwise, I don't care who you are, regardless of your background, I will never condone it. Do you believe it or not? "

Yang Yanzhang was still holding the tea cup and drinking tea in a relaxed and comfortable manner and said.

"I believe it." Di Renjie nodded, but he was still a little hesitant. After all, if it was true that the Emperor was pretending to be ill as Yang Yanzhang said, wouldn't it mean that he and others said it in the court.

Did His Majesty the Emperor hear clearly? This is not a trivial matter, and it may cause shock to both the government and the public.

"You believe it, but I'm afraid I don't believe it. Don't you know? The day before yesterday, when I was sleeping on the street at East City Gate, I was attacked by a group of thieves, and they refused to admit that they killed me.

Tell me, how could I let such a lawless bandit go? And not only did I let them go, I also rewarded them with gold and silver.

Let them leave Dashi. I believe that this batch of property will be transported to the Western Regions before long. Yang Yanzhang looked at Di Renjie and said.

Di Renjie's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at His Majesty the Emperor who was leisurely drinking tea. At this time, he finally understood that he had no chance to change His Majesty the Emperor's decision.

Fang Xuanling saw Di Renjie's cheek twitching and couldn't help but laugh. This guy thought he could influence the court and even the emperor's will, but in the end, he was not a loser.

"Fang Qing, I remember what I told you once, right? If someone dares to stop me from conquering Dashi and Persia, or tries to prevent me from regaining my territory, what do you think I should do?" Yang Yanzhang stared at Fang Xuanling and continued to ask. .

"Of course we will kill without mercy as a warning to others." Fang Xuanling said respectfully, then glanced at Di Renjie and said again: "But if this happens, there will inevitably be turmoil in the court.

After all, the relationship between Tang Dynasty, Tubo and Baekje was not harmonious, and Dashi and Goguryeo were now in an alliance, if these two enemies were unified.

At that time, I am afraid that there will be no stability in the court. Therefore, Wei Chen suggested that it is better to put it aside for the time being and wait until the time is right to attack them in one fell swoop. By then, the dog-eat-dog relationship between the two countries will be saved. "

"What do Fang Qing mean?" Yang Yanzhang frowned and looked at Fang Xuanling. Does this old guy want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and wait until the two sides are evenly matched to wipe out Dashi and Goguryeo in one fell swoop?

"Your Majesty is wise." Fang Xuanling bowed and praised.

"Huh? Are you scolding me for being stupid? Fang Qing, we have known each other for a long time, right? From the original Supervisory Yuan to the governor of Chang'an, and now in charge of the Ministry of Punishment.

If I remember correctly, your Fang Xuanling is also a third-grade senior official, right? But I found that you seem to prefer to sit on the sidelines and ignore the affairs of the court.

I remember that you were like this when we were in Chang'an. We haven't seen each other for a few years, has it changed? Yang Yanzhang stared at Fang Xuanling and asked in surprise.

When he was in Chang'an, Fang Xuanling had been hiding behind the scenes, thinking all day long about how to defeat Pei Yan, how to attack Pei Yan, and even what mistakes Pei Yan had made.
