0678 Di Gong is noble, and his family is restless
In the evening, Prime Minister Di Renjie drove down the Tianjin Bridge and walked slowly along the Heavenly Street to his house.
Now is the moment when the ministers return to the residence, so there are a lot of pedestrians on the heavenly street, some people ride horses, some people take cars, and they are also different due to the different ranks and status, and the scale of the behavior.
Di Renjie's entourage guard of honor is undoubtedly the most magnificent. In front of the advocacy of a part, clean the streets, all the relatives with sticks in front of the car to follow, in addition, there is a team of cavalry guards in front and behind to ride the horse slowly, in order to serve as a guard.
The entire honor guard team numbered nearly 200 people. Even in this crowded street, it is the most outstanding and eye-catching team.
Of course, such a scale of honor guard is also worthy of Di Renjie's lofty status in the court now. After the Zhongshu ordered Li Zhaode to dismiss the prime minister, the imperial court granted the prime minister and the most important position among the prime ministers to King Yong of Zhenguo, who was far away in Chang'an, Xijing.
As the governor of Menxia Province, Di Renjie can be said to be below two people and above ten thousand people in the Shendu City. In addition to the emperor and the queen mother, Di Renjie is the most respected. After all, the emperor's sons have not yet left the cabinet, and the Spring Palace has no owner, and Princess Taiping does not receive the court.
But the honor guard is so extravagant, and it is not Di Renjie's own meaning. Originally, Di Ren was outstanding and thrifty, and did not attach importance to prestige, but he was even impeached at the beginning of the year, saying that he was flattering and not a minister.
Di Renjie has been up and down for many years, but he will not change his style because of such idle words. Now Xingyi is so dignified, and the reason is that Cui Xuanwei died more than two months ago.
At that time, this incident caused a great sensation in the gods, and there were many voices in both the government and the opposition calling for a thorough investigation of the matter. Although Cui Xuanwei lost his position and was demoted, he had a great relationship with both the government and the opposition.
What's more, at present, Tang Ye is prosperous, and both inside and outside are looking forward to the current situation to restore clarity, and there will be a bad incident of the minister's death, and the people are naturally eager to know the truth.
At that time, the voice of the spearhead pointed at King Yong of Xijing was not small, whether Cui Xuanwei committed suicide or was victimized, King Yong was not small. After all, the reason why Cui Xuanwei lost power was because he was suppressed by King Yong.
Cui Xuanwei's loss of power itself did not inspire much emotion. After all, King Yong's great achievements in Qinghai, the whole country was excited and jubilant, and his people showed malice to King Yong at this time, no matter what kind of suppression and punishment he received, he was to blame.
But even if you want to suppress and retaliate, there should be a scale. Whether it is the majesty of King Yong, the shocking killing of ministers, or the strong sense of revenge and assassination, this is undoubtedly beyond the scale that the public can tolerate.
At that time, there were even ballads in the workshop, and the bad rain in Kansai was really weird, causing me to destroy my seedlings and destroying my fields. The so-called bad rain in Kansai naturally means something.
The response given by King Yong was also very direct and sharp to the various voices and actions that slandered him in the Shendu City, that is, he instructed the North Gate Zuo Yu Lin Wei to send troops to protect Li Zhaode, Di Renjie and other ministers of Kuangfu.
In the days when the situation was the most complicated and bad, that is, before and after Di Renjie was ordered to go to Shaanzhou to investigate the cause of Cui Xuanwei's death, Li Shouli, the king of Lu, even personally accompanied him and went in and out together.
This move also made the atmosphere of the Shendu City unprecedentedly tense at that time, which made the public think about it. King Yong's move seemed to prove his innocence and implied that there must be a conspiracy in this matter, so he sent troops to protect the two important ministers.
But in fact, when it comes to the powerful position of King Yong, how can he care about evil words and slander, the biggest significance of such a move is to directly show it to everyone in the divine capital, but he still has the ability to dispatch the guards of the divine capital, which is a naked declaration of hegemony, or to deter Xiaoxiao, or to deter the imperial court.
Zuo Yu Lin Wei did not fall under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the courtiers knew this. But because Zuo Yu Lin Wei was mainly responsible for guarding Shangyang Palace before, and he no longer even participated in the North Gate Guard, many people ignored this.
But now that King Yong has directly identified this relationship, the situation in Shendu has naturally become unprecedentedly tense. All the rumors and evil rumors against King Yong disappeared in an instant. Because many people realize that if they really anger King Yong and make him angry, King Yong really has the energy to flip the table and smash the plate.
Although the public opinion condemnation against King Yong has disappeared without a trace, the thorn in the heart of the court has become more and more profound.
When King Lu led the army to protect Di Renjie, who went out to investigate the case, Yang Jiaben, the Duke of Guanguo, also led the Nanya Guards to Shaanzhou, and the entire external passage of Shaanzhou was almost completely blocked. Because of the gathering of armor soldiers, Shaanzhou became a black hole like an existence around Dugi for a while, before and after Cui Xuanwei's death, what happened in Shaanzhou, and what Di Renjie investigated, the outside world did not know.
Such a grim situation in Shaanzhou was not alleviated until Wang Xiaojie, the secretary of the military department, returned to the capital, and the two guards were repelled by Wang Xiaojie, and Di Renjie, who stayed in Shaanzhou, was also able to return to Shendu under the protection of Wang Xiaojie.
As for what Di Renjie investigated, the court still did not decipher it, but only buried Cui Xuanwei with the five-grade official etiquette, and a son was given the shade of Shilang.
Such a way of dealing with it is naturally unsatisfactory, and it is exactly the same as the Wangchengyi murder case in the old years. Moreover, the two cases seem to be miraculous in that when the case occurred, all the government and the opposition were shocked, and the prime minister was used to investigate the case, but in the end, it was thunder and rain, and it was impossible to give a clear explanation to the public.
What kind of vicious force can make the court worry and cover it up again and again? The Wangchengyi murder case can also be attributed to the treacherous and chaotic situation of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and what kind of troubles are there now, which can make the imperial court and the capital of the prime minister secret? Can this Tang Dynasty court still see the dawn of the Qing Dynasty?
In the face of such accusations from the masses, Di Renjie also felt helpless, of course he found out something, and determined that Cui Xuanwei died of his homicide, the murderer committed the crime in the pavilion, and even the post guard was implicated and murdered two people.
But Di Renjie didn't know who did it, and he didn't even dare to speculate, and he couldn't find out. The direction of the murderer's escape was to Shaanxi County, but Shaanxi County was not under the management of the imperial court, but the county where Zuo Yu Linwei ate, and Wang Renjiao surrendered from the county order to Yongwang.
At that time, King Lu and Guanguo Gong led the armoured soldiers to confront each other in Shaanzhou, in such a situation, how dare Di Renjie go straight to Shaanxi County to conduct a thorough investigation in order to find out the truth, so he only ordered the county to order Wang Renjiao to search and arrest in the county, and finally found nothing, so he could only report accordingly.
The sentence of the case was not issued in the political affairs hall, but directly from the ban, and the emperor handled it like this, Di Renjie also felt a little rash.
But now, as the first prime minister of the political affairs hall, when the imperial court has just divided power and allowed King Yong to create a big platform, he does not dare to exercise his right to refute and directly return this edict, so as to avoid another rift in the situation in the court.
The armor soldiers sent by Zuo Yu Linwei to protect the two important ministers were not withdrawn, which was undoubtedly openly questioning the strength of the imperial court's guards, so the imperial court also specially sent additional guards to the ministers above the third grade, which caused Di Renjie's honor team to be so prestigious, the front cavalry was given by the imperial court, and the rear was Zuo Yu Linwei.
The death of Cui Xuanwei is such a result, whether the public accepts it or not, but public opinion soon stopped paying attention to it.
As the season moves into autumn, the selection of winter markets is also on the agenda. Last year, Tang Ye was reinstated, and there was no shortage of simple things, including the selection and imperial examinations. Up to now, there is a shortage of incumbent officials in the 100 divisions of the imperial court, including the prefectures and counties outside Dugi, so this year is destined to be a year of general elections.
Not only some long-idle electors, but also many new officials who have been elected this year have also come to Luoyang, the capital of God, in the hope of shortening the election period and joining this year's election.
After Di Renjie returned to the capital, he no longer served as a subordinate servant, but was transferred to the Zhongshu waiter and the governor of the ministry, presiding over this year's election. So during this period of time, he has also been very busy, almost taking Ouchi as his home, morning and dusk, staying in the yatang, counting, he has not been home for more than half a month. As for today, I also went home to deal with some housework under the request of my family several times.
When Di Renjie Xingyi entered the Fangju Shangxian Fang, the sky was already slightly dark, and the street drums had already sounded. When he walked past the house of his neighbor Wu Zaide, he saw that the lights inside and outside Wu Zaide's house were bright, and there was even the sound of sheng song instrumental music coming out of the house, as if he was holding a feast.
Last year's coup d'état in Shendu, many key members of the martial arts family were slaughtered or posthumously demoted, but not all of them were exterminated. Wu Zaide was not deeply involved in the situation, and he did not have much evil deeds in the official, although he was also deprived of Juelu and sentenced to a long time, but when he was seriously ill, he was able to stay in the capital at the request of Princess Taiping.
Wu Zaide is not ostentatious and domineering, and he is even more low-key after the catastrophe, and he lives in a simple place every day, refusing to communicate with all the characters of the gods. Today, the door of the mansion was suddenly wide open and a banquet was held, and he simply stopped to ask people in front of him, only to learn that it was Princess Taiping and her husband Dingguo Gongwu You and a guest at the mansion.
Hearing the report of the attaché, Di Renjie was relieved, after the revival of the Tang industry, the remaining people of the martial family either escaped to avoid trouble, such as Wu Youxu who lived in seclusion in Songshan, or took refuge in the real power of the sect family such as King Yong and Princess Taiping.
But King Yong is the vanguard of killing martial arts, except for Wu Youyi, a person who has an old relationship with King Yong, most of the rest of the martial arts family still gather around Princess Taiping.
Princess Taiping is restless and has repeatedly interfered in politics, and the important ministers of the court have different attitudes towards this. For example, Li Zhaode was disgusted by the former Chinese book, and Li Zhaode reprimanded all the courtiers who were recommended by Princess Taiping, and could not tolerate it.
As for Di Renjie, although he is also dissatisfied with this, he has his own energy to be the same as the light and dust, and his performance is not as exposed as Li Zhaode. Knowing that Princess Taiping was a guest here, he didn't continue to ask questions and continued to go to his mansion.
Turning the street song, Di Renjie saw that hundreds of people had gathered in front of his house, shouting loudly, the scene was chaotic, and he ignored the sound of street drums.
Seeing this scene, Di Renjie's face suddenly sank, and he was even more ashamed in his heart, and ordered the people in the honor armor to enter the front to disperse the people who blocked the door and made trouble on the street.
