Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Li Mingyuan glared at the Minister of the Ministry of Rites with dissatisfaction.

"You have no right to speak in the face of national justice. Step aside!"

The Minister of the Honglu Temple remained undaunted and said in a loud voice:

"Even when two countries are at war, envoys are not executed. What's more, this envoy came with a message for peace between the two countries. If he is arrested, the alliance between the two countries will be in vain!"

"Although I am not considered a virtuous person in the country, I know that I must follow your majesty's lead and put the interests of the country first!"

"If the two countries are not on good terms, are we going to let those civilian children die on the battlefield?"

The messenger's eyes were filled with tears, and he gave a thumbs up to the Minister of the Ministry of Rites in his heart for saving him.

He shouldn't have said that just now. Li Mingyuan was right to pick on him. If Li Mingyuan went to their Tubo to negotiate and said the same thing, he would definitely arrest Li Mingyuan and interrogate him severely.

At one point he thought he was going to die, but the envoy saw a chance to survive in a small official of the Honglu Temple.

Li Mingyuan flicked his sleeves and knocked over a bowl of good tea.

"Mr. Wu, how insolent you are!"

"He's a spy. You dare to protect him? Aren't you afraid that I will impeach you?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites looked indifferent, he was not afraid at all.

"Am I afraid of you?"

"I am devoted to my country. Even if you report this to His Majesty, I will still say the same thing!"

Li Mingyuan was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot and he slammed the table hard.

"Do you think that just because your father is the King of Dai and your uncle is the King of Jin and the Minister of Chancellery, I am afraid of you?"

"I'll tell you!"

"This time, even if Prince Jin protects you, I will not let you go!"

The Minister of the Honglu Temple smiled coldly: "Then go!"

Li Mingyuan left in a rage. Before leaving, he instructed the guards of the Honglu Temple not to let the delegation leave, and then left the Honglu Temple Hotel.

As soon as he walked out, the anger on his face disappeared.

Instead, there was a hint of pride.

"My acting was pretty good just now, and that kid's acting was also OK. If I can't do this anymore in the future, he can take over my position when he's older."

"When you're the Minister of Rites, isn't the most important thing to be able to perform?"

In the Honglu Temple Hotel.

The Secretary of the Honglu Temple walked back and forth with his hands behind his back.

He frowned, as if thinking about what to do next.

The envoy, who was almost frightened to pee, wiped the sweat from his forehead and then clasped his fists towards the Minister of Honglu Temple.

"Thank you for your help, sir. My name is Barkley, and I haven't asked for your name yet."

The Minister of the Honglu Temple stopped and said calmly, "My name is Wu Yancheng."

"Just now, I heard from Lord Li that the current Shangshu Ling is your uncle, sir?"

"When I'm out in public, I never use my uncle's name. My own father is quite famous!"

"Your father is the King of Dai, right?"

"Speak of the king, don't you know how to speak? No wonder you are so stupid as to ask about our country's military secrets. It turns out you are not a smart person!"

Wu Yancheng was also very angry. He continued to walk around and ignored the messenger Barkley.

Barkley didn't want to embarrass himself, so he sat aside and waited for Wu Yancheng to calm down.

After a long while, Wu Yancheng's anger seemed to have subsided, and he came over with a shy smile.

"Sir Wu, although I just made a mistake, I have stayed in Luoyang for over a month for the sake of the alliance between our two countries. I am now extremely impatient."

"Please help introduce one or two. If the two countries form an alliance, the Tang Dynasty will marry off its princess, and there will be no more war between the two countries. The foreign ministers can quickly return to their country to report to my Tibetan king."

Wu Yancheng didn't give him a good look at all, rolled his eyes and said:

"Now that Lord Li has gone to impeach me to His Majesty, Lord Li will definitely tell you about your failure to steal intelligence!"

"By then, not only will you be affected, but I, too, might even be demoted three ranks."

"Now you and I are both in danger, and you still want to see His Majesty? Do you really think it's that easy to see His Majesty? His Majesty is busy!"

Barkley took out a piece of fine Hetian jade from his arms, stood next to Wu Yancheng, and handed the Hetian jade to Wu Yancheng.

"Sir Wu, this is a small gift, not a token of respect. If you can successfully meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, we will offer you a generous gift."

Wu Yancheng directly pushed the Hetian jade back.

He said disdainfully, "It's just Hetian jade. Are you using it to test an official? That official can't withstand such a test from you?"

"Take it, take it. This is just a small amount. It's not enough for me to give a gift to my uncle on your behalf. My uncle needs a piece of jade from you, right?"

Barkley suddenly realized and said quickly, "Sir, please follow me back to the house. I will bring you all the gold, silver, jewelry, and beautiful stones and jade. You can choose them all yourself!"

……

In order to prevent being followed by spies, Li Mingyuan really came to Taichu Palace, pretended to talk with Li Cunxi for more than half an hour, and then came out in a rage and went straight to the Honglu Temple Hotel.

Wu Yancheng also pretended to come to the Prince of Jin's Mansion with gifts. His uncle Wu Chengsi had not returned from court, so Wu Yanji received him. The quick-witted Wu Yanji knew what to do and how to do it, so he immediately accepted the bribe.

At night, Li Mingyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, ordered the restoration of the delegation's free access rights, and then returned to his residence to sleep.

The members of the delegation who returned from outside immediately reported today's findings, and Barclay became more and more convinced that what Li Mingyuan and Wu Yancheng said was true.

He pushed the door open, walked out into the yard, and looked up at the sky.

"The Tang Dynasty attacked Goguryeo and Japan..."

"Then their country must be very vulnerable. If we take advantage of this opportunity, we can definitely gain a lot of benefits, right?"

"That gentleman truly understands the Tang Dynasty. With his help, the Zamp will surely be able to annex the Tang Dynasty!"

When Barclay thought of the Han minister far away in the Tibetan city of Lhasa, his eyes were filled with envy and respect.

There is no doubt that he is a top wise man. Although he is from the Tang Dynasty, he once served as the prime minister of the Turkic people.

Although the Turks were defeated later, the blame had nothing to do with him. The Turkic Khan Helu even sent people to escort him out of Liangzhou and continued to unite tribes to attack Liangzhou of the Tang Dynasty.

Later, the wise man came to Tubo after overcoming many difficulties because of the defeat of the tribes outside Liangzhou. In just half a year, he became the prime minister of Tubo, and his status in Tubo was second only to the emperor.

As for why a Tang Dynasty person would be so powerful...

Of course, it was because the Tibetan King Bolunzan looked down on the previous Prime Minister. After the new Tang citizen showed his strength, he observed him for half a year and confirmed that the other party was determined to oppose the Tang Dynasty. Only then did he go against the public opinion and let the Tang citizen become the Prime Minister of Tibet.

This Tang man is named Yuzhou!

Barkley's mouth corners raised slightly.

What a wonderful thing it is to have the Tang people help us deal with the Tang Dynasty!

The demise of the Tang Dynasty is probably not far away!
