Very thick dossier.

There are relevant memoirs written by various ministers describing the ins and outs of this incident, as well as selected partial confessions.

In fact, as long as the assassin is caught from Xu Jingzong's farm, Xu Jingzong will have no way to be cunning, and what the book says does not count, then there are still a few guards. The guards didn't count, there were also Xu Li and Pei Judao and the servants and maids they brought.

Li Wei didn't expect it. As to whether Di Renjie can solve this case, he still has doubts in his heart, after all, the other party is Xu Jingzong. Even if it is cracked, it will take a long time. Didn't Di Renjie say it, March time. Guessing what kind of emergency is it? Could it be that people are starving to death, and the common people have begun to rebel? Or maybe the Tibetans saw that the Tang Dynasty was weak and began to invade.

This is all about the left, although the disasters have been disasters for many years, but the remedies made by the imperial court are also rare in all dynasties. If someone wants to rebel, there will be no common people to follow. It is even more impossible for Tibet to harass at the border. In the first battle of Wuhai, Xue Rengui killed more than 10,000 Tibetan soldiers, and in the following major battles, Tubo also lost some soldiers. Although he won, the losses were also very serious. There is no way to expand eastward, and if you eat Tuguhun, in the hearts of most of the powerful ministers in Tibet, they are very satisfied.

With that, Li Wei saw that the green muscles on his father's face were hideous, his eyes were not very good, and he couldn't see it very clearly, but he didn't let Wu Zetian read it, continued to read it, read the file roughly, handed it to Wu Zetian, and said, "Empress, take a look." ”

After Wu Zetian finished reading it, his expression was even more angry. raised his head and asked Li Wei in a low voice, "Hong'er, what do you think of Xu Jingzong?" ”

Li Wei was about to prevaricate casually, when he suddenly came to his senses and replied: "He has been sick for a long time, and some of his mental qualities are no longer hidden, and he is no longer the same Xu Xianggong as before." ”

"When did you know that the Xu Jing Sect sent someone to assassinate you?"

Li Wei felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart. Of course, getting rid of my mother, the most powerful lackey, would make my mother unhappy, and even my father would not be happy. But without this person igniting the fire, he can be safe for the time being. It depends on what her mother will think in the future, she is dedicated to being the empress, and she has nothing to do, but at least in the past two or three years, it should be calm.

Thinking of this, he said: "Father, queen mother, and listen to the son's courtiers." In the past, Erchen said to his father, the queen mother, and the ministers, that Xu Yanbo assisted Helan Minzhi as an accomplice in Hongwen Hall, and humiliated Erchen, maybe as Xu Shaoshi said, he was young and ignorant. But he was really ignorant, why did he do this, Erchen thought that he must have heard some words from Xu Shaoshi, thinking that Erchen's status was not guaranteed, so he became bolder. Later, after seeing his father and mother, he actually asked his son to host two sacrifices, which surprised Xu Shaoshi. So he first asked Xu Yanbo to go to Beijing to plead guilty, and in the case of He Lanmin, countless people were implicated, but Xu Yanbo was not only not implicated, but moved left to become an official. The assassination of Erchen didn't know about Erchen, but he only knew that Xu Shaoshi was not good for Erchen. Di Renjie also said a sentence to persuade Erchen to rush to the eastern capital as soon as possible. After all, the son is the flesh of the father and the queen mother, and if he is filial piety by the side of the father and the queen mother, if he has any conspiracy, the father and the queen mother will also forgive the son. After arriving in the Eastern Capital, Erchen listened to Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong's advice and pulled Xu Yanbo tightly, so that Young Master Xu wanted to sow discord, what Erchen did, Xu Yanbo was also beside him. But he didn't expect Ming Chongyan to arrive, and Erchen knew that he was deliberate, so he had to set up a banquet in the East Palace, thanked and hinted. However, in Ming Chongyan's words, he didn't put his sons in his eyes at all. As soon as Ming Chong was done, there was a twist and turn of the Wei family's daughter entering the East Palace, which was because Young Master Xu wanted to pull the Wei family and the Pei family into the water. However, the young master Xu did a high-sounding job, and the father and mother could not notice it, and the sons and daughters were in a panic all these days. As for the assassination case, Erchen also heard Di Renjie talk about it a few days ago, and Di Renjie was sure of it at that time. After all, the other party is a young master, and it is not a big believer to change anyone. ”

"Then why didn't you report it?"

"No, Xu Jingzong won the favor of his father and mother, even in the deep palace, there may be one or two of his eyes and ears, there was no evidence at that time, say it, you will be furious, the news has reached the hands of Xu Shaoshi, killing these assassins, it is not difficult for him, cut off the clues, the truth of this case can never be revealed."

"You kid have a good heart. Let's go down. ”

"Yes," knowing his mother's sentence, he was very dissatisfied, but he was slanderous in his heart, he had no good intentions, he was not in the position of the prince in this East Palace, and he might not live for three months. But I am very happy in my heart, this catastrophe in my heart is finally going to be eradicated.

I don't know what monstrous means Di Renjie used to reveal the truth of the case in such a short period of time. I admire it very much......

The rain finally fell.

I was very happy to see that the potholes on the street were filled with a puddle of stagnant water, and many people regarded it as a treasure.

However, this shocking case has not yet spread, and many people in Luoyang continue to pay attention to the imperial court to allow the title of merchant and transport grain to Guanzhong. Some have gone on to write for impeachment.

Someone is asking Li Zhi, this year's drought, conferred three or four official titles, he was a year of great drought, re-awarded three or four official titles, for a long time, how many businessmen have been able to enter the office? It seems to make some sense, but Li Zhi was furious when he saw it, these people were not marching, they were cursed. One major drought is not enough, and it will come ten times or eight times?

But now the speaker is not guilty, and there is nothing to be done.

Someone else wrote that the famous minister of the Sui Dynasty ordered Huxi to be the assassin of Bianzhou at that time, forbidden to travel and eat, suppressed industry and commerce, and put an end to anyone who opened a shop on the street. Merchant ships were also not allowed to stop on the outskirts of the city, but outside the city of Bianzhou. So the agriculture and mulberry flourished, and the folk customs were simple.

This matter, because he reads every day, Li Wei also knows a thing or two, the cause of the incident is that Yang Jian sealed Zen and passed through Bianzhou, because of the development of waterway transportation, Bianzhou's business is very prosperous. As a result of the commercial prosperity, the industry is very prosperous, and there are fans and prostitutes everywhere, Yang Jian can't get used to it, so he specially ordered the good official Ling Huxi to serve as the assassin of Bianzhou. This is a very remarkable official, several Sui Dynasty meritorious examinations, the first in the country, and a veritable champion official.

After Ling Huxi received the holy order, he also had a headache, at this time, this industry is not illegal, how to put an end to it? So I thought of a plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, and the entire Bianzhou business collapsed, and the fans had no room to survive, so these industries stopped. It really worked, but this historical regression was thought to be beautiful by the people of the time.

He also said that when Li Xiyu, a famous minister of Taizong, was the governor of Yangzhou and the ambassador of Jiangnan Province, he saw that Jiang Zhun was heavy on businessmen and did not do agriculture, so he persuaded farmers to abandon business and follow farming.

It is still a historical regression, but now the commercial tax is not perfect, strictly speaking, no matter how developed Yangzhou commerce is, the imperial court has little profit. On the contrary, it is better to let the people farm and grow mulberry to earn more profits.

There are even ministers who write to them, saying that there are strict orders in the imperial court, and ministers above the third grade are not in the market, but the prince is free to pass several cities whether he is in Xijing or Dongdu. It's not that they have bad intentions, it's that the prince is admonishing him to be a "good prince", to be perfect.

Is there such a law, but can it be treated as a true law? The imperial court also strictly prohibits **, adultery, marriage with the same surname, and even five surnames and seven families are not allowed to intermarry, how to break the law. But is there really no one with the same surname for marriage? There are even those within the five suits, and some ethnic minorities, like Fanzi, marry their biological mothers, sisters-in-law, and even several men who have one wife. Besides, what are Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, whether it is adultery and **.

Of course, I know, but I don't dare to distinguish it, I'm afraid Di Renjie agrees with these performances.

But a real heavy rain came.

Li Wei returned to the East Palace and saw the golden attendant teasing a pair of little yellow orioles with joy.

He asked, "Waiter Kim, are they finally back in their cages?" ”

"The slaves and maids still have to thank Ying'er, otherwise they still refuse to return to the cage."

"Who is Ying'er?"

"It's the group of official prostitutes who went to the East Palace just now, but it's a little troublesome."

"Why?"

"Your Highness, please look," handed over a piece of paper with the names and specialties of these official prostitutes written on it. These official prostitutes have to fill the East Palace to do all kinds of work, so Jin Neishou asked. Needless to say, the teaching workshop inside and outside Luoyang City is not as big as Chang'an, but the scale is not small, there are hundreds of people in the inner teaching workshop alone, carefully selected from them, and the age is all twenty-eight girls. But the specialty is quite a problem, some are proficient in music, some are proficient in painting, some are also proficient in calligraphy, or chess, or scripture and history, or singing, or dancing, and even some are proficient in weaving, female red, and a few are actually proficient in a little medical skills, especially massage, only two girls are proficient in cooking and can be practical, and the others have almost no practical ability except for serving Li Wei and making Li Wei entertained.

If you don't stuff it into the inner palace, it's a little difficult to deal with.

Among them, there is an official prostitute named Ying'er, who is also good at training birds, and even fighting cocks will also train some.

So Jin Neishou called her over, how to get this pair of little orioles back into the cage. After listening to Li Wei's words, he ran to the trees to feed every day, and the survival ability of this pair of little yellow orioles in the wild was really poor, and they couldn't find food, so they had to eat the food given by Jin Nei's waiter. But for some reason, they put the food outside the cage to eat, and once they put it in the cage, they don't eat it.

Every day, the old eunuch ran into the woods, and feeding this pair of little babies became a joke in the East Palace.

It may be that Ying'er has the ability to learn a few bird calls, or it may be that it is raining and it is difficult to forage, but somehow, she finally got this pair of little yellow orioles into the cage.

After finishing speaking, the old eunuch looked at the cage and said with pity: "Look at you, I don't know what to do, this time I have suffered hardships, I have not grown up, but I have grown thin." ”

A pair of little orioles didn't know if they understood, pecking at the bird's cage with their beaks, chirping.

Li Wei ignored the pair of little birds, looked at the list and said: "Jin Neishi, these people, you still arrange it, the queen mother said, they are all official prostitutes, and their identities are a little embarrassing, let them enter the East Palace, just to see that many of the East Palace are elderly palace maids, let them fill the East Palace." But these people are lonely, but they can only look at it from afar, and they can't get close. ”

"Whoa."

Jin Nei took the order.

Li Wei was a little unbearable, these girls entered the East Palace, and they were very excited one by one, but the ending waiting for them was even more miserable than the Inner Teaching Workshop. But I saw too many helpless things, and I became numb.

Just thinking about his thoughts, Wei Yuanzhong and the three of them came in again, and Wei Yuanzhong said in a low voice: "Just now, Di Sicheng asked the minister to inform His Highness that Xu Jingzong's assassination case has an eyebrow, and he is ready to leave for Xijing. ”

"Lone knows a thing or two, why is it so fast?"

"This is called heaven and evil, and you can't live," Wei Yuanzhong told Xu Jingzong's concubine Yu about it, and told what happened by the way. Of course, now Di Renjie got the news that Guan Fu brought back only a part, and he knew that the bigwigs in Chang'an had come forward, but he didn't know what was going on. is alone again, unlike the imperial court, which is in a hurry, changing horses and people, and the speed is lagging behind.

Li Wei muttered, "Zhou Xing." ”
