Chapter 463: Sleepiness in Spring (1)

Originally, the crown prince was about to return to Beijing, and many people rejoiced. But as soon as this edict was issued, a basin of cold water was immediately poured on it.

In fact, in terms of prime ministers, only Dai Zhanghao is the most competent, so the country's internal affairs have been peaceful all these years. Even if the Korean struggle later began, there was no major loss in internal affairs. The country has suffered many disasters and difficulties, but it has also made a smooth transition. As soon as Dai Zhang and the others died, only Hao Chujun was left.

Liu Renliang has enough qualifications, enough credit, and as a side general, he is even more civil and military. can serve as the prime minister, but his ability is lacking compared with Hao Chujun.

One fall, the loss of the crown prince, the loss of the country.

Many people are in a panic, it seems that the prince's return may not be smooth, and the country does not know where to go.

Liu Renliang and Di Renjie came to Zhu Jingze's mansion.

There are two ways to make the crown prince ascend the throne. The first method was for the prince to raise troops from Qinghai and take advantage of Shangguan Wan'er's incident. This is not very appropriate, first, it is a bad start for the future, and second, the final result is not easy to grasp, but it is good if it succeeds, and if it can be completely removed in one fell swoop, the civil strife in the failed country will begin. And the imperial court has imprisoned King Yong, and he can return to Beijing, but the reason for raising troops is insufficient.

So there was only one last one left, which started the matter of Ming Chongyan.

Look at what you've done over the years, Emperor? Let the emperor let himself Zen and make a smooth handover.

However, it is not easy, and there is still a person in Dali Temple.

The Criminal Department can also investigate cases, but it is different from Dali Temple. The functions and powers of the Criminal Department are to control the criminal law and the decrees of the criminal law and the decrees of imprisonment, collusion, and imprisonment, and the government decrees are the priority, and the scope of management is also extensive, and the investigation of cases is only the right of subordination, and only some ordinary cases can be investigated. The major case is the criminal investigation of Dali Temple.

Therefore, when Di Renjie was the chief of Dali Temple, he dared to investigate the case of Xu Jingzong. Of course, it is possible to investigate, and other important ministers must cooperate during the trial. However, after serving as the squire of the Criminal Department, he has more power and higher position, but he is not qualified to investigate and deal with the case of Ming Chongyan.

You need to follow the rules, so you can find Liu Renliang.

I don't dare to say that I set up a Qiankun bureau early on, waiting for Ming Chongyan to feed the queen Xiaowanzi. Even if the prince knows, he will be unhappy somewhat. Besides, it didn't feed it.

and Wei Yuanzhong can only keep this situation in their hearts. But it was not without gains, there was a huge amount of evidence in his hands, which would be enough to make the emperor ashamed. Then he was overjoyed, and the prince got a strong evidence from the hands of the Wulu family.

So he told a small lie to Liu Renliang, King Yong stabbed Ming Chongyan, and after Di Renjie heard about it, he felt uneasy, and sent someone to stare at it, staring at a big conspiracy. What was not known very early, was known by accident, and was newly known.

Liu Renliang definitely can't think of all these things. If you only know the opportunity, you will take advantage of it.

Therefore, a move was made, with the help of the completion of all the three doors and four rivers, and three people were recommended for promotion. Wei Xuan is also a servant of the ministry, and Wei Siqian is the imperial historian, compared to the two of them, Zhu Jing's promotion is inconspicuous, just a Shaoqing of Dali Temple, not Zhengqing.

But this Shaoqing is about to be reused.

Zhu Jingze came out, and the three of them went in, and Liu Renliang looked at the old servant beside Zhu Jingze. is also a clean official, a very small house, only three or four servants, and a wife, a concubine and three children, the concubine is given by the prince, and he has no choice but to accept it.

Zhu Jing understood and asked the old servant to retreat.

Liu Renliang and Di Renjie suddenly bowed down and gave a heavy salute.

Zhu Jing hurriedly helped them up, that dare to accept it, Di Renjie didn't mention it, Liu Renliang was the first assistant of the court.

Said: "Two, you can't kill me." ”

Standing up, Liu Renliang said: "The prince is about to return to Beijing, but Your Majesty doesn't know who bewitched him, and actually asked Hao Xianggong to resign. I know that this is Hao Xianggong's integrity, daring to speak out, and offending someone. It is conceivable that it will not be long before Hao Xianggong can resign, and Li Xianggong will inevitably be abolished because of some of his previous outspokenness. ”

This is easy, no one is perfect, and it's too easy to pick thorns. It was Liu Renliang who singled out his performance in Qinghai and repeatedly discussed it, or it wouldn't be long before he could only retire. said, look at Zhu Jingze's performance. This person is also good, he dares to speak out, and he has fired at the emperor.

So after thinking twice, I chose this person to enter Dali Temple to hold an important position.

However, there are still some worries, after all, they are recommended by the emperor to the crown prince, assist the prince, and supervise the prince's gains and mistakes. But he and Di Renjie wanted the emperor to concede. I wonder if he will agree?

I didn't see anything, just a worried face. So Liu Renliang said again: "The minister is old, I believe that it will not be long before he will go with Dai Xiang and Zhang Xiang...... Even if the crown prince returns, will he be able to inherit the great cause of the Tang Dynasty smoothly in the future? Even if he ascends the throne, how many people can listen to his command? I'm worried. ”

"Liu Gong, I know, but I am inferior ......"

The position is not necessarily low, and the person may not be small, but compared with Liu Renliang, it is a low person. But this position can become the key to turning the world upside down, Liu Renliang still didn't say it, and continued to probe, saying: "Last year, the queen sent Li Shoucheng to Qinghai and talked with the prince several times. The prince had no choice but to reply that he would ascend the throne one day, and the power of the queen would not be lower than the current power. However......"

Shake your head.

You can't say it's right, you can't say it's wrong. From Liu Renliang's standpoint, it is too disappointing for the queen to do this. They have promised you the right now, but you are still not satisfied, and continue to stretch your hand up to the court, what do you want to do? Now the right is not small, unless you want to be Lu Pheasant, or the Empress Dowager Hu of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

But from Wu Zetian's point of view, the ideas are different, if you want to be safe, Hao Li and the others will fall, and she will not be upset. The real power is still in your own hands, put it in the hands of your son, the son is getting stronger, and you send someone under the fence, what if an accident happens?

It depends on what Zhu Jingze thinks.

"The queen did this, and the ministers were also disappointed," mentioning this matter, Zhu Jing was also unhappy.

"Yes, Zhu Shaoqing, do you remember the winter before last, Pei Yan saw what King Lu said. At the time, I didn't think about it, but now that I think about it, the queen has a deep meaning...... The emperor is seriously ill again, he seems to be in control of the court, but in fact, even political affairs are now handled by the queen. Country, I'm worried that something will be in trouble. ”

At that time, Liu Renliang was very suspicious, but as the position of the prince, the prince's life and death were uncertain, and he wanted to seek justice from Li Lu. But Li Lu is smaller, so it is easier for the queen to control. Although it is not easy for the queen to succeed, she is as wise as a demon and it is not easy to say. Later, the prince returned safely, and it was impossible to know.

"Gong Liu, I also want to contribute to the imperial court, but I ......"

"Today, I and Di Shilang came here to ask Zhu Shaoqing a word, do you want to revitalize the court and the country?"

"Think...... But you ...... Thou shalt not raise troops. "I knew that the two of them were here, and they decided to have important things to entrust each other, and the two of them actually worshipped, and the matter was not trivial. The emperor did not give up power, and there was only one way to raise troops.

"It's not about rejuvenating the army, there is a shortcut that can make the country transition smoothly without hurting the muscles and bones, but it needs Zhu Shaoqing's strong help."

"What power do I have?"

"As long as you investigate a case, you don't even need to investigate, as long as you use your position to sort out a case, the country can make a smooth transition?"

"What kind of case?" Zhu Jing was very puzzled, he understood the smooth transition, only by letting the crown prince immediately ascend the throne and control the state power, the queen could not continue to develop her own power. Even if the crown prince fulfills his promise and continues to let the two saints supervise the country, the prince has received the greatest righteousness, and Liu Renliang and his courtiers are still in the court, which can balance it and restrain the development of the queen's power.

But what kind of case does it take to do this?

"Ming Chongyan."

"Ming Shaoqing?"

"Exactly."

"What big case did he do?"

"Di Shilang, it's still you."

"Zhu Shaoqing, it's like this, Ming Chongyan was assassinated the year before last, and after I heard it in Jiangnan, I paid attention to it and accidentally discovered one thing, Ming Chongyan has a large number of salt farms in Chuyang Prefecture. Do you still remember the folk rumor that King Yong bought Zhang Guidong? If you want to buy Zhang Guidong, you must have a lot of money. It is difficult for King Yong to have this financial resources in his hands. So I secretly sent someone to investigate it, because I had no authority in my hands, and the matter was investigated for a long time. It was not until the end of last year that the whole thing was gradually clarified. Back then, Xu Jingzong asked Ming Chongyan to go to Luoyang and framed the prince. was discovered by luck and stopped in time. However, Xu Jingzong had a henchman who told Xu Zhong to escape in time. He handed over some of the talents that Xu Jingzong secretly bought, as well as some henchmen in the palace, to Ming Chongyan. This includes an industry in Yangzhou, as well as some ranger merchants bought by Xu Jingzong in Luoyang. After Ming Chongyan failed, he continued to plot against him, and after he was demoted to Shenzhou, he continued to send people to monitor the prince's movements. Seeing that Liang Jinzhu had set up a salt farm in Yangchu Erzhou, he immediately joined and became the second big salt lord to dry salt, and collected a lot of money for him. Then he used this money to bribe King Yong, and bribed officials at all levels in Shenzhou to say good things for him. ”

All this is done in secret, and it is not easy to find out. Ming Chongyan will not be stupid and directly hang his name. But I found out, and it was very easy to interrogate.

"And then?"

"Zhu Shaoqing, I was surprised when I found out to the end. This person has the guts you and I can't come up with. On the one hand, he planned to return to Beijing in Shenzhou, and on the other hand, he also tried to produce a domineering aphrodisiac. In order to test the medicine, he bought a concubine, and then killed the concubine. This is also inadvertently found out, a concubine died suddenly, and the Shenzhou government recorded that she died of illness. But I don't quite believe it, and I sent someone to secretly dig up his grave, and the bones are normal. However, the people sent by the minister, just in case, brought back a corpse. I sent a seasoned detective to inspect it, and finally found that it was a very rare poison that killed him. ”

If others can distinguish it, but Ming Chongyan is proficient in pharmacology, it was not killed by Ming Chongyan, and if others are poisoned, they will inevitably detect and report to the official. But Ming Chongyan died of a violent illness and was buried in a hurry, which must have been killed by Ming Chongyan.

There is no need to explain, and he continued: "I was thinking, trying to prepare aphrodisiacs, maybe I was a powerful person. With his character, it is possible. Why is it so secretive, and you want to kill people? Then I heard some rumors in the palace that His Majesty was ...... during this time."

It's not like this, I have been sending people to follow me secretly, otherwise it would be impossible to detect so many things.

Skipping it, he continued: "Of course, your majesty will be happy in this way. But Zhu Shaoqing, no matter what kind of medicine it is, it is to stimulate people's potential, and it is a medicine that is poisonous, and this kind of tiger and wolf medicine. At first I thought he was just for His Majesty's pleasure. However, when I think about it, it is not right, he can cure wind vertigo for His Majesty, His Majesty can no longer do without him, why do you still need to use the medicine of the tiger and wolf? This will reduce His Majesty's longevity, and if something happens to His Majesty, the prince will hate him, and he will not need to be cured of any wind dizziness. What's in it for him? So I quietly asked someone to inquire in the palace and found out the truth of the matter. On the same day, Ming Chongyan boiled a bowl of medicinal soup for the queen to drink under the pretext that the queen was suffering from the wind and cold. It just so happened that His Majesty also suffered from the cold, so he grabbed it and drank it. ”

"This ...... This ......" Zhu Jing was so shocked that he almost fell off the Hu bed.

When Di Renjie said it to Liu Renliang, Liu Renliang's expression was not much better.

After most of the day, he came to his senses and said, "Even so, it's just a loss of face for the two saints......"

"Yes, but there is another thing, Ming Chongyan secretly colluded with the princess of Tubo and wrote a letter to the princess of Tubo, asking Tubo to send troops and drag the prince in Qinghai and not return. so that the queen can quietly develop her power. Later, the crown prince ascended the throne and was also a puppet emperor. As he spoke, he took out the letter and handed it to Zhu Jingze.

Then he and Liu Renliang bowed down again: "The national plan is only in Zhu Shaoqing's thoughts." ”

As long as Zhu Jingze agrees and has his authority, he can file a criminal investigation. In fact, it was just a passing scene, and quickly took down a cadre of physical evidence, Di Renjie is the servant of the Criminal Department, and Liu Renliang is the first assistant of the dynasty, although this case is a scandal in the heavenly court, but the three people have the right to try the case.

The facts of the case are revealed, and Ming Chongyan's letter alone can explain everything. Your Majesty, don't do any more balancing measures, you will do it back and forth, the real power will be in the hands of your wife, and in a few years, the crown prince will be the emperor, and he will only be a puppet emperor.

What will the emperor do?

Either punish Wu Zetian, but take back Wu Zetian's rights, the emperor can't see the twists and turns clearly, what about state affairs?

forced the emperor to take the throne.

Or go to the end with a smear, punish Liu Dizhu and the three of them, and the prince will be abolished, Lao Tzu is the emperor, Lao Tzu is the first in the world, he has to hand over the power to his wife, and he has to let his wife become Lu Pheasant in the future. So let me ask, does the minister agree? Do the people agree? Is the real prince the prince a few years ago?

But Zhu Jing did not agree, and immediately reported the matter to the emperor, and asked the emperor to execute Ming Chongyan in advance, and everything was over.

Zhu Jing held the letter as if he was holding a thousand catties, and actually forgot to help Di Ren and Liu Ren up again.
