Chapter 320: The eyes of Prince Chus Mansion! They should be anxious!
"So, they can only unite with the Tang Dynasty to leave those small countries with nowhere to rely on, in order to ensure the benefits they reap! Therefore, the Tang Dynasty...even if ten thousand of them are unwilling, they must unite. They have no choice. !”
Abao suddenly realized.
Things between countries are really so complicated.
Even if we are enemies, sometimes we have to find ways to cooperate.
Ali was also thoughtful.
"What about the second way?" Abao continued to ask.
Li Xiangyin looked at Shen Lian and saw Shen Lian smiling and nodding in approval, and he suddenly became more confident.
He said: "The second way is to let the premise established by the teacher directly collapse. In this case, you can continue to deal with me, Datang."
"And if you want to disintegrate, there is only one possibility."
"What's possible?" Abao asked.
Li Xiangyin said: "Find the culprits and solve the case! Only by uncovering the culprits and letting other envoys let down their guard can we revive the method of dealing with the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise... they will not dare to speak at all."
"Then can they find the thief?" Ali asked.
Li Xiangyin looked at Shen Lian: "I have to ask my mentor."
Shen Lian rubbed Li Xiangyin's head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether they can find it or not. What matters is who they want to take the blame."
"Take the blame?" Ali was stunned.
Li Xiangyin and Abao seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly raised their heads to look at Shen Lian.
Shen Lian smiled and said lightly: "They have no clues and no ideas. Where can they go to solve the case? So if they want to solve the case as soon as possible, the easiest way is to find a scapegoat, so they will definitely find a small country. The one who takes the blame.”
"I just don't know which small country will be chosen by them."
Ali frowned and said, "Aren't they afraid of being discovered?"
"Since they know how to do it, they will naturally do it very carefully."
"That….…"
Ali couldn't help but look at Shen Lian: "Sir, will you let them get what they want?"
Shen Lian shrugged his shoulders and said calmly: "Of course not."
"If they really choose this path..."
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "After they choose a scapegoat, I will find Tianji to commit another crime. In this case..."
He half-smiled but said, "That's interesting."
"After they found the thief, another case happened. Then... this matter is very interesting, and the responsibility becomes even greater."
"Tsk, tsk, an unjust, false or wrongful conviction is a serious matter that ruins your reputation at any time!"
"So, no matter which path they choose, the result will not be harmful to our Datang. In this case, why not let them make their own decisions?"
Shen Lian smiled: "Which path do you think they...will choose?"
Abao and others were lost in thought.
Shen Lian laughed loudly and walked away.
Interesting, even more interesting.
In fact, there was something else that Shen Lian didn't tell them.
The reason why I let them mess around was because... Shen Lian was also ready to take action.
Let them attract attention for themselves!
My own big net is ready to be closed...
After leaving the inn, Shen Lian found that it was still early.
He thought for a moment and went directly to the Yamen of Dali Temple.
Arriving at the Yamen, Shen Lian looked through the files that had just been submitted from various local government offices and said to Abao: "Have those people I asked you to find returned?"
Abao was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what Shen Lian was talking about.
In fact, a moment ago they were discussing the matter of the Council of Nations. Who would have known that at the next moment, the Lord would make a 180-degree turn and say something completely irrelevant, which almost made him unable to react.
But after all, he has been with Shen Lian for too long, and A Bao's thinking jumping ability has also been greatly improved.
So he was stunned for a moment and then said: "Two people have already given definite responses, but the others seem to be wary of us rashly contacting them and have not yet responded."
Shen Lian was not surprised at all, and said calmly: "It's normal. I'm staying at home well. Suddenly a big pie is thrown at me. No matter who it is, I will be wary, let alone someone I value."
He picked up the cinnabar pen and made a big cross at the end of a file.
This shows that he does not agree with the clues in the file and the trial results, and directly rejects the retrial.
He closed the file and threw it aside with a calm expression, not realizing that the magistrate had thrown back a huge problem.
He continued to pull out a file, and while reading it, he continued: "Who has responded?"
Abao looked at Shen Lian and said, "One is Hedong Xue Rengui. He was a fire-headed soldier in the military camp. It seems that some people above him are suppressing him."
"His ambitions are hard to achieve, so our people contacted him secretly and told him that you are very optimistic about him, young master. As long as he comes over, you will entrust him with important tasks. After he considered it for two days, he gave us an answer."
"What's the answer?" Shen Lian said without raising his head.
Abao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The kindness of knowing and encountering is unforgettable, but if you have orders, you will not be afraid of life or death!"
The cinnabar pen in Shen Lian's hand suddenly paused.
He raised his head, leaned back, looked at Ah Bao with a smile, and said, "What do you think of him?"
Abao said: "I have not had direct contact with him, but the secret contact with Xue Rengui's shadow guard gave Xue Rengui great confirmation that the commander in the military camp was a fool. Otherwise, Xue Rengui might have become famous by now. Out."
"He also said..."
Abao said with a smile: "He said we really found a treasure."
Shen Lian laughed: "Xue Rengui is a person who values love and righteousness. Since his answer is like this, it already shows his intentions."
"Go tell him and let him set off quickly. Don't waste your time in the military camp."
"Then….…"
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and said: "This time when all nations come to court, Your Majesty allows me to mobilize three thousand elite troops to prepare for emergencies."
"A Bao, you ask him to secretly go to Lantian County and secretly control my temporary three thousand elite soldiers, and then wait for my orders."
"Maybe it won't be long..."
Shen Lian said meaningfully: "Xue Rengui's name in Hedong will be famous throughout Chang'an, and even spread throughout the Tang Dynasty."
Abao was slightly shocked. He had no doubts about his master's words.
Although the adult used the word "maybe", in Abao's view, as long as his adult says it, it will definitely become a fact.
So... Xue Rengui is really lucky. He will achieve something just after following the master.
And whether it was him or Ali, who had not followed Shen Lian for a long time before becoming slightly famous in the public eye?
This made him unable to stop feeling emotional and even a little envious of Xue Rengui.
It is really an honor for Xue Rengui to be valued and promoted by his own master. Could it be that Xue Rengui saved the world in his previous life?
Otherwise, why would my master only look at him differently?
That is to say, Shen Lian didn't know what Ah Bao was thinking, otherwise he might really nod and tell Ah Bao...
Without Xue Rengui, the Tang Dynasty might really be in danger.
And it is precisely because Shen Lian knows how big Xue Rengui will be in the future that he values Xue Rengui so much.
Otherwise, with Shen Lian's temperament, how could Xue Rengui catch his eye before he showed his value?
Shen Lian checked the dossier to indicate that he agreed with the clues and processing results in the dossier.
Then he threw the file aside.
He took a file again and asked: "Where is the other person?"
Abao calmed down and said, "The other person is Chu Suiliang."
"Chu Suiliang?"
One of the Four Great Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty!
Historically, after Li Shimin's death, he and Changsun Wuji assisted the new emperor.
It can be said that the ultimate power is even higher than that of Fang Xuanling.
This is a very awesome person!
Just because he was born in the Sui Dynasty, there were some twists and turns, and he kept a low profile for a while, and then he was reused by Li Shimin.
However, this period was the lowest period in Chu Suiliang's life, so Shen Lian seized this opportunity and extended an olive branch to Chu Suiliang.
"How did he respond?" Shen Lian asked.
Speaking of Chu Suiliang, A Bao's expression was a bit complicated. He said: "Chu Suiliang obviously retired to the mountains and became a commoner, but he showed no awe at the coming of our Jin Yiwei."
"Then Jin Yiwei explained his purpose of coming, and Chu Suiliang made a condition. He will only come if the Lord agrees to him."
"condition?"
Shen Lian was really curious. What conditions would a person like Chu Suiliang put forward when faced with the invitation from the Chu Palace?
Abao's expression became more complicated. He took a deep breath, looked at Shen Lian cautiously, and said, "Sir, please don't be angry if I tell you..."
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me what the conditions are."
"He said….…"
Shen Lian said: "He said, sir, he wants His Highness the King of Chu to promise him the position of Young Minister of Dali Temple and to have His Majesty agree that he can become the Young Minister of Dali Temple before he can go out and join the King of Chu's Mansion. Otherwise...he won't Out of the mountain!"
Abao was afraid that Shen Lian would be angry, so he hurriedly said: "Sir, these capable people have weird personalities. Even Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms is also weird, so please don't--"
"Hahaha!"
Before Ah Bao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Lian's laughter.
This made Abao stunned for a moment.
He couldn't help but look at Shen Lian and saw that Shen Lian was really happy instead of laughing angrily, which made him suddenly puzzled.
"Sir, why are you...why are you so happy?"
Shen Lian smiled and said: "Ah Bao, you don't understand why Chu Suiliang made this condition."
"Why?" Abao said blankly.
Shen Lian said meaningfully: "He is not making conditions at all, but showing me his ability! This is telling me that our Prince Chu's Palace chose him. Yes, he will not let down the Prince of Chu's Palace." trust!"
"ah???"
A Bao has a question mark on his forehead.
This is obviously a condition!
Why is it that when you come to the adults, it becomes a display of ability?
What's going on?
Seeing Ah Bao's confused look, Shen Lian smiled and shook his head and said, "A Bao, do you know what official position we have prepared for Chu Suiliang when our Prince of Chu's Mansion called Chu Suiliang here?"
Abao shook his head, how could he know this?
Is he able to figure out the thoughts of his master and His Highness the King of Chu?
Shen Lian said: "This time when all the nations come to court, because of certain things, Your Majesty has given us the Prince of Chu's Mansion and me great powers, including the appointment of certain official positions."
"Currently, Bai Yanguan is about to retire and return to his hometown. Dali Temple has lost the eyes of our Prince of Chu. Qin Ziyi is about to appoint the minister of Dali Temple. Similarly, Dali Temple has been looking for a new young minister. During this time, they are very tired. But we haven’t found a suitable candidate for Shaoqing, so that’s why I asked you to find Chu Suiliang.”
"Dali Temple is a special institution, and it can only be done easily if we have our people inside."
"That is to say, I originally wanted to ask Your Majesty to grant Chu Suiliang the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, because only he can make us, the Prince of Chu, rest assured. His ability, his character, and his loyalty are all things to me. You can rest assured."
"Similarly, he will also bring us information."
"so….…"
Shen Lian looked at Abao and said: "Chu Suiliang deduced this through his own ability, so he put forward such a condition, mainly to tell us about his ability."
"Tell me, our Chu Palace was right in choosing him! He is fully capable of fulfilling the post of Shaoqing of Dali Temple in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty!"
Abao was stunned for a while and then suddenly realized.
So that’s it!
Chu Suiliang deduced the Lord and His Highness and found his reasons...
Then, respond in this way!
this…….
Abao couldn't help but sigh, do these cultural people like to take corners so much when doing things?
Can't you just tell us?
Make me so comfortable!
Abao took a deep breath and said, "Sir...can we take Chu Suiliang over?"
………………
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes, but shook his head and said: "Chu Suiliang is a little dishonest. A response like Xue Rengui's is the most appropriate!"
"But he doesn't want to, and he still plays this trick with our Chu Prince's Mansion. This is also a way of testing me to see if I can understand what he means."
"In this case, as the saying goes, it is indecent to reciprocate. If he tests me, how can I not test him?"
Shen Lian suddenly took out a piece of white paper, picked up the brush, thought for a moment, and then quickly started writing.
Before long, he filled a piece of paper with writing.
Shen Lian folded the paper, put it in an envelope, and sealed it with wax.
Afterwards, he handed the letter to Abao and said: "Ask someone to deliver the letter to Chu Suiliang as quickly as possible and tell Chu Suiliang that if the tasks in the letter can be completed, I can provide him with the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple." Try your best to fight for him."
"But if it can't be completed, I need someone to serve tea and water. I'll ask him if he can do it."
