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

"I approve the alliance between the two countries."

"Xu Xi, you and the Imperial Master choose an auspicious day. I want to sign a treaty with the Tibetan envoy."

"However, I have one more thing to say. The Tang Dynasty will not marry off its princesses. You should go back and discuss this matter with your Tibetan king."

Barkley was sweating profusely and bowed his head again.

He sweated too much today and his shirt was soaked. Just as he raised his head and tried to feel better, he met Li Cunxi's eyes again.

The look in his eyes was completely inconsistent with the expression on his face, as if he wanted to kill someone.

"Your Majesty, I have taken note of everything you have said. After returning home, I will definitely return to Tubo and raise this matter with the Zamp."

Li Cunxi was too lazy to look at him and said to Wu Chengye who was pretending to be an ostrich:

"Prince Dai, when you return home, you must take good care of the child and prepare all the delicious food and drinks for him. He is not allowed to leave the house without my permission."

"I understand. I will definitely discipline my rebellious son when I get home."

"What a rebellious son! He is my loyal minister and good general." Li Cunxi said in a teasing tone.

"It is my fault for not being able to discipline my children properly."

"You should go back too."

"As ordered."

Barkley finally raised his head under pressure and observed the young emperor above him again. He saw that he was sitting back on the dragon bed. His expression was no longer as majestic as before, but rather a hint of laziness.

There is a heroic look between his eyebrows, and his gestures seem casual but carry an incomprehensible aura.

The fear in his heart grew and the trembling spread to every part of his body.

"As for you..."

"I won't hold you responsible. Just take this confession back and read it carefully. Read it carefully."

Barkley: "Foreign ministers please bear this in mind."

After the court was dismissed, Barkley left Qianyang Palace. The feeling of surviving a disaster made him unable to help but breathe a few more breaths of fresh air.

"Humph, you yellow-mouthed brat."

Zong Qinke said something unhappily behind his back, and left in a mighty manner with a group of officials from the Censorate.

Barkley had already experienced the power of this old troll in the court, so he just acted like an ostrich and didn't even dare to say a word.

Just when he was pretending to be an ostrich, he saw Di Renjie in front of him, and he walked forward with a shy smile on his face.

"This is Elder Di, right?"

Di Renjie and Li Huaiyuan were walking together. Seeing Barkley approach, he responded:

"I am Di Renjie."

Barkley's face lit up and he said:

"The name of Lord Zhou Di is well-known to foreign officials. However, as a foreign official, he is responsible for important diplomatic affairs and has never been allowed to meet him. Now that I have seen him, I am astonished by his beauty."

"I'm afraid it's not that you're astonished by her beauty, but rather that you have something to ask of me." Di Renjie stroked his beard. "I've been in the court for many years, and I've seen all sorts of people. The envoy, please don't try to test me with such petty tricks."

He glanced at Barkley lightly, as if he wanted to see through Barkley's thoughts.

Barkley quickly lowered his head and secretly cursed Di Renjie for being a bad guy.

What other important matter could the envoy have for making private friends with important officials, other than asking for something in return?

This is not something that can be said lightly. What does it mean when you, Di Renjie, say it? Everyone abides by it, but you can't, right?

"Your Majesty King Zhou is truly a god."

Barkley added: "But this isn't the place to talk."

"I have a family dinner tonight, so the envoy may come at 3 p.m. If he leaves quickly, there will be no misunderstanding," said Di Renjie.

"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince Zhou, for your guidance."

……

As soon as the afternoon arrived, Barkley arrived as promised.

He came empty-handed this time, and Di Chun, who came to greet him, sneered and said nothing.

Barkley cursed Di Chun's ancestors in his heart, then took out a flying money voucher from his sleeve.

"It's just a token of my appreciation, not a token of respect, but I hope you will accept it."

Di Chun didn't even look at it and didn't answer it.

If this little thing could bribe him, he wouldn't have to block the door and wait for Barkley as soon as he returned home.

Barkley showed a pained look and handed over two more flying money vouchers.

Di Chun then took it and smiled at Barkley.

"Mr. Envoy, please come in."

Barkley was respectful to Di Chun on the surface, but in fact he even cursed Di Chun's ancestors for eighteen generations.

When he visited Wu Chengsi yesterday, he had already given away 50% to 60% of his gold, silver, jewellery and beautiful objects. The more he spent, the less money he had. Now Di Chun even cheated him out of his three Zhang Fei money certificates.

This Di Chun is really not a good guy!

After walking around for a while, Barkley finally saw Di Renjie who was drinking tea in the second hall. Di Renjie looked up at him and signaled him to sit down and talk.

Barkley sat in the chair feeling uneasy. He didn't know why, but although he was clearly facing Di Renjie, he always had the illusion that he was facing Wu Chengsi.

"You only have one chance to ask a question. The question you ask cannot violate my principles, otherwise I will not answer."

"After asking, return the same way you came. I'll host a family dinner, and you can do whatever you like."

Barclay took a deep breath. "Will His Majesty the Emperor punish Tibet for the mistakes of the envoys?"

Di Renjie knocked on the table: "It depends on whether you are lying or not."

Barkley cupped his hands: "I have one more question. Can I raise the price?"

"Of course, now you can ask your third question."

Barkley: o·(?w?)?o·?.

"Your Majesty, King Zhou, does His Majesty have no intention of conquering Tubo?"

"Whether or not Your Majesty intends to do so depends entirely on the Tibetans. Now that two fronts are at war, if Tibetans are willing to do so, how can the Tang Dynasty not respond?"

"Thank you, King Zhou." Barkley bowed. "I have learned my lesson. I will personally meet with the Zamp and inform him of this news."

……

"Your Majesty, the Tibetan envoy has already set off."

When the army set out, the commander-in-chief of the Wind Riders, Long Feng, came to Li Cunxi and whispered.

"Let him go. With his intelligence, he might only understand my intentions after he returns to Tubo."

"What's more, my trusted ministers are waiting for him in Tubo."

Li Cunxi gathered his sleeves and said, "You've been busy for a while now. Give the Wind Riders a break after you go back. It's been over two years, and their vacations are few and far between. They deserve a break and can't be so tense all the time."

After saying that, he turned around and glanced at Long Feng: "You too, it's time to have a good rest and find a wife later."

Long Feng lowered his head and said, "I am a Taoist priest, how can I do this?"

"In the past, it was. Now, you are my Grand Commander of the Wind Riders. You have accumulated wealth and glory for a lifetime. After a hundred years, do you have to return all of it to me?"

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true."

"Then I'll have someone introduce you to a decent girl someday. Please control your cold temper and don't scare the girl."

"Your Majesty, I am old."

"At forty, it's time to strive for success. Who cares about your age?"

"That is entirely up to your Majesty."
