Chapter 1(2)()

Wu Zetian nodded, Di Renjie took two steps back and was about to turn around, but suddenly remembered something, and then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I don't need a guard after resignation. I will deport the guard to the guard's mansion."

"Yeah." Wu Zetian nodded, and saw Di Renjie still wandering, and asked, "Huaiying, do you have anything else?"

"I have another unhappy request."

"Oh? You said."

Di Renjie hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I want to ask Your Majesty to take the guard leader Li Yuanfang back home with you."

Wu Zetian looked at Di Renjie meaningfully: "Although Li Yuanfang is the chief guard of the country's elder, he is also the general of Qianniu Guards of the court. The country's elder does not need the guards to accompany him, so Li Yuanfang should stay in the court to continue serving the country. I wonder what the reason is that the country's elder wants him to return home with you?"

"I understand. It's just that Yuan Fang has been with me for more than ten years, and her affection is as deep as a father and son. I really can't bear to separate from him."

"But Li Yuanfang is not qualified to retire. If you want to accompany you to return home, would you want him to resign?"

"It seems there is no other better way."

"Oh? Should you also ask Li Yuanfang what he means?"

"No need. I know what I know."

Wu Zetian shook her head and said, "Huaiying, I'm afraid I can't agree to your request. Li Yuanfang is an important official, and I still want to use him. I will not allow him to resign, nor will I allow him to return home with you."

Di Renjie felt his temples twitching, no, he warned himself to be calm and calm, and said again: "Your Majesty. Di Huaiying is a minister of the Great Zhou, and Li Yuanfang is a general of the Great Zhou. Our lives and deaths are both Your Majesty and the people of the Great Zhou. For Your Majesty and Great Zhou, we are tragic and die. However, the old minister made this request today, because Yuan Fang was seriously injured in the Hangou case and has not recovered. This time, the old minister wanted to take the opportunity to take him to recuperate. There are also famous doctors who have known each other in Bingzhou for many years, so that they can be treated. The old minister can guarantee that once Yuan Fang's body recovers, the old minister will ask him to return to Shendu and serve His Majesty."

"Huaiying, aren't you the master of the Great Zhou Dynasty? Why do you need to hire another famous doctor to treat Li Yuanfang's injuries?"

"Your Majesty is wise, and you should know that the doctor will not cure the closest relatives."

Wu Zetian was stunned: "Oh? Huaiying, you..." She pondered and finally nodded, "It is said that you regard Li Yuanfang as your own son. Today, it seems that he is really affectionate. If I don't agree to you, it will seem that I am not in a favor. Okay, let Li Yuanfang return home with you. However, I have a condition that Li Yuanfang must return to Beijing in March. During these three months, he will temporarily retain his position as the General of Qianniu Guard, but he will be exempted from all actual positions, and his salary will be suspended. The official position will be handed over to the Wei Mansion. After returning to Beijing in March, he will be driven away from another position."

"I am thanking Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of Yuan Fang."

"Huaiying, it will be the New Year in more than two months, and it will coincide with your birthday. Go back to your hometown to celebrate it well. I will have a generous gift to wish you. OK, go."

Di Renjie knelt down on the ground and kowtowed with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty is so kind that I am so grateful that I can't repay you even though I am so heartbroken. The old minister has gone. Your Majesty, you must take care of me, take care of me."

Wu Zetian left slowly, Di Renjie was still kneeling there, kneeling for a long time, a few strands of white hair poked out from under the brim of the hat, shaking in the autumn wind, he lowered his head, and a dead leaf floated in front of him. Di Renjie then shook his feet and stood up. He felt sadness and emptiness that he had never felt before, and a clear and ominous aura made him dizzy in an instant. For the first time, he was not sure whether his words and deeds today were right or wrong. Everything came too suddenly. He had no time to think carefully, and he made a judgment almost entirely based on his instinct and made a bet, but he didn't even know what kind of game of chess will be, and who was opposite the chessboard.

"Go back, it's time to go back."

When Di Renjie slowly walked out of Tianjin Bridge, it was getting dark. Di Chun came forward and helped him into the carriage. While asking for a walk, he pouted and said, "Master, can you not wear this robe next time? You see, I have been waiting for you for a day, and I have been watching a monster all day."

"What?" Di Renjie was stunned. He saw the priceless feather satin brocade robe on Di Chun's body, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Okay, don't wear it, you won't need to wear it again in the future. Di Chun, you will burn it after you go back."

"Yes! Master!" Di Chun agreed loudly, very happy. Since the last time the master won three consecutive games of Double Lu and won the Jicui fur from Zhang Changzong, he asked him to wear this robe every time he entered the palace, which really made him feel sick. Finally, the master was in a good mood today and he would not have to suffer this in the future. "Master, I burned it when I went back. There was a sweet and sour smell on the robe. It was cleaned after it was burned!"

Luoyang, Di Mansion.

It was late at night, and the second update had already knocked. Di Renjie's study was brightly lit, but there was no sound quietly. Di Renjie buried his head and flipped through the official documents in front of him, and stopped to think from time to time. A cup of fragrant tea was handed to him. Di Renjie reached out and took a sip, but did not look up, but smiled and said, "Yuan Fang, I didn't see you when I came back today. Where did I get out of now?"

Li Yuanfang said: "Sir. The imperial edict has been here in the afternoon. After receiving the imperial edict, he went to the Wei Mansion to deliver it. Zhang Huan and the others forced me to drink farewell wine. It just dispersed."

"Oh? So fast. How do you say the imperial edict?"

Li Yuanfang looked at Di Renjie in confusion and said, "The imperial edict says that Your Majesty has already allowed the Lord to return to his hometown and set off today. He ordered the Guards and the Military Head to be sent back to the Guards and the Office, and the Officials will return to the Guards and the Guards and accompany them to the Lord to return to their hometown. Do you know all this? Today, the Emperor summoned you into the palace for this matter?"

"Well. The emperor really summoned me into the palace for this. So, now I want to ask, what do you think about this matter."

"I? What can I think of the matter that has been discussed with the emperor? Sir, you are old and shouldn't have worked too hard anymore. This time the emperor promised you to retire, so you will be happy to go home."

"Of course I am like this, what about you?" Di Renjie stood up and paced around the house with his hands behind his back.

Li Yuanfang lowered her head, followed Di Renjie's steps, and said softly: "I will go wherever I go."

Di Renjie turned around and looked into Li Yuanfang's eyes: "Nonsense! You are the General of Qianniu Guards of the court, not my private guards of Di Renjie. Your responsibilities lies with the court, in the Great Zhou, not with me Di Renjie!"

Li Yuanfang said: "My Lord, today's humble position has been handed over the official position of the general. At this moment, Yuanfang is no longer the general of the Zhou court. Yuanfang has followed him for so many years and has seen it very clearly. The so-called power and position are all words of the court. It is the duty of a soldier and Yuanfang's wish, but it is not to be a general. In Yuanfang's view, protecting and assisting adults is to serve the country, and it is not just to be your personal harem. Therefore, if you need Yuanfang for one day, Yuanfang will serve for you for one day. One day, Yuanfang will ask the court to go to guard the border. One day, he will die in the battlefield to defend the country. The horse and corpse are the ideal destination for Yuanfang."

Di Renjie's heart trembled. Li Yuanfang was a little dull on weekdays and rarely confessed his feelings like this. What happened to him today? He looked at him, but he looked calm, as if nothing had happened and nothing had happened. Di Renjie was cruel and cruel, and he said this. Due to the situation, he would have to force him to force him again and said, "Yuan Fang, what you said makes sense. But with your identity today, you must pay more attention to any decision.

I have been asking for retirement for so many years, but the emperor has never been allowed to go home. Why did he suddenly get it today? Have you ever thought about the reason behind this? Also, in the past, the emperor also allowed me to support me as a free official and specially appointed you as a general in the procuratorate to accompany me. But this time, Your Majesty did not allow you to walk with me at all. It was after my several beggings that she finally promised you to return home for three months and to remove all actual positions. Why is this?"

Li Yuanfang was stunned.
