Chapter 472: Tears in the Dark (4)

Chapter 472: Tears (4)

After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't remember it, so Li Wei didn't want to, so he went back.

……

May is coming, and Jiangnan may be the time when the early-ripening plums are half red and half purple, tempting to drip. Fresh plums, Luoyang can not be seen, but Luoyang also has good things, the world-famous peony, is blooming violet.

Shangyang Palace also has a lot of them, large groups, like brocade, beautiful and enchanting.

Walking out and watching the blooming of peonies for a while, Wu Zetian asked, "What is the movement of the prince on this day?" ”

Somewhat unhappy, Hong'er changed to the prince.

Li Shoucheng replied: "There is nothing else, at the beginning, Wei Hongji visited the East Palace and pleaded for mercy." There are also four new prime ministers, which made the prince scold. Then the prince went to the Sifang Pavilion and talked to those Western Yi people for a while. Then the little princess and the king went to the East Palace to visit the prince. The rest is gone. ”

"You continue to send people watching."

Wu Zetian didn't believe that his son would be so honest when he led five hundred armor soldiers into the East Palace.

Then he said: "When it is about time to go down, you pass on my edict, and you are very cautious about Xuancheng." ”

"Whoa!"

After a while, Cheng Wuting brought it up, and Wu Zetian asked him to sit down without courtesy, and said: "There is something unknown in this palace, I heard that you know a lot about martial arts, and I want to ask you." Pei Shilang will go to the Western Regions in the near future to pacify the Western Regions***, but only a few thousand soldiers and escort the Persian prince can pacify the Western Regions. The others didn't say it, Bengong has always been at ease, do you know what Pei Shilang's plan is? ”

Because of Li Wei's wings, history has undergone some subtle changes.

First, Wang Fangyi built the city of broken leaves, and then with the help of 40,000 Tang troops to Suzhou, he returned to Fuluochuan, disintegrated the Western Turks, and let Wang Fangyi use some small means to capture Li Sha, the leader of the Western Turkic rebel tribes, alive.

Escorted to Broken Leaf City, Li Shalu cried and confessed his mistake, and the imperial court has always had a restrained attitude towards this territory. Since he admitted his mistake, there are still ten Khan Ashina Duzhi who are still at large, and he is afraid that Qinghai will appear in case, so he issued an edict to release Li Shalu.

But this kid was released back, and when he heard that the 40,000 troops were only aimed at the Tuyuhun people in Qinghai, they were still not honest, and continued to hook up with Anastuzhi.

Therefore, the complete pacification of these two traitors has been put on the important agenda of the Tang Dynasty.

This is a test of Cheng Wuting, Cheng Wuting was notified in advance, knowing that this is an opportunity, that man doesn't want to get ahead? After thinking seriously for a while, he said: "I can't know the specific minister, but maybe Pei Shilang will have a plan to capture and confuse the other party." Although the troops led by him were small, our dynasty won a great victory in Qinghai, and many Turkic tribes regained their sincerity to our dynasty, and the actual number of troops that could be mobilized was still very large. It's a surprise again, but it can be done quickly. As for how to conceal the other party and concentrate the forces of all tribes, the ministers do not know. ”

It turned out to be this verse.

It didn't seem to be bad, and he said, "This palace wants you to be Pei Qing's deputy, what do you think?" ”

"The minister is very willing, but the position of the minister is ......"

The position of the Zhonglang general is not low, from the fourth grade, but the military general is promoted quickly, although the position is high, but there is no rank and dignity of the civil minister. Besides, there are two generals from the third rank and one general from the third rank above the sixteen Wei Zhonglang generals.

Zuo Qianniu Zhonglang can only rule one of the three guards of the Zhichong Mansion, as Pei Xingjian's deputy general, he really has no qualifications.

Seeing Cheng Wuting's desire to speak, Wu Zetian said: "It's okay, there will be an edict issued tomorrow to let you move to the right leading general." ”

"Thank you," Cheng Wu said overjoyed, lying on the ground.

"Don't thank you, this palace hears that Pei Qing admires you very much. The palace also talked to the crown prince last night, the Tang Dynasty is now seriously lacking capable generals, I hope you will work hard and serve the court. The right leader of the army guards the general, just the beginning. If it is done well, it will be reused by the imperial court in the future. ”

"The minister must repay the queen of heaven and be willing to smear his brains."

"Okay, let's go," Wu Zetian watched him leave, the corners of his mouth raised high, revealing a hint of a smile.

doesn't know much about the military, but she is no worse than others on how to use people. As long as Cheng Wuting's performance does not disappoint people too much, he can use Cheng Wuting to win more voice and power for himself in the military.

……

The next day, Li Wei still didn't move.

Actually, it moved, but not under everyone's noses.

Zhu Jingze's trip went relatively smoothly, Di Renjie arranged a large number of people, and the people also kept an eye on it, as long as they sent officials to arrest and interrogate, they didn't even need to be interrogated, as long as they recorded their confessions, they would complete the task. Of course, Zhu Jing had just arrived at Dali Temple, his eyes were blank, and he was not very good at investigating cases. It doesn't matter, Di Renjie has been in Dali Temple for a long time, and his prestige is second only to Zhang Wenjun, and there are many cronies in Dali Temple. Those people can use it, those people can't, Di Renjie knows the roots, and this is also ready for Zhu Jingze.

Zhu Jing saw this result and laughed.

But all this began to be carried out before the prince returned to Beijing.

Luoyang's and Chang'an's did not move, starting with Shenzhou, Chuzhou, and Yangzhou.

But he still needs the help of some of Di Renjie's former cronies.

Everything is in accordance with the judicial procedure, the criminal prisons in various places, starting from the county level, major and important cases, the state-level officials supervise and interrogate, those who are not satisfied, can appeal to the state level to fight a lawsuit, and then those who do not accept the rebellion, go to Dali Temple. Dali Temple is the final checkpoint. But there is more, if you are not satisfied, you can sue the royal court. Don't take this seriously, it is often found in dramas, but it is not often in reality, and there will be no more than 50 people who can sue the emperor and succeed, ancient and modern. It is 10,000 times more difficult than winning the lottery.

However, in order to prevent misjudgment, the process of the case and how to try it will also be presented to Dali Temple, which plays a supervisory role. In short, there is no perfection in later generations, but there is a set of primitive mechanisms to restrain and supervise, and try to give the people a fairness.

If there are doubts about some cases in Dali Temple, someone can be sent down to re-examine. Even big and important cases, directly bypassing the local government.

Therefore, Liu Renliang tried every means to bring Zhu Jingze to the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, precisely for this right.

Di Renjie arranged it in advance, bought some hidden houses in Sanzhou, and dug some hidden cellars in the houses. The personality characteristics of the prisoners who were to be interrogated and arrested were clarified, and when they went out, they found out one by one. After the officials of Dali Temple arrived, they immediately secretly arrested this person and took him to the cellar for interrogation. In order to make it difficult for local officials to notice, they deliberately created some contradictions in the months before this, so that local officials and the families of the criminals had misleading ideas.

The confession of the admission was then presented to Luoyang by a fast horse.

However, it will take some time for these statements to arrive. After the local confessions were complete, the arrest of the criminals in the two capitals began, and at that time, it was also time for the poor dagger to appear!

It's already started! It's just that the confession hasn't been sent back yet.

Therefore, Li Wei is still very quiet.

But I didn't expect a few unexpected guests to ask to be respectful.

He was an envoy of the Wa Kingdom, killed by the Silla people, and thought of the Tang Dynasty to seek justice, but the Tang Dynasty ignored it, thinking of what would happen to him after he went back, and he didn't dare to go back. heard that Prince Tang was coming back and would fight again, so he came to look for an opportunity to see if Prince Tang could make decisions for them.

Well, I found the right person.

Li Wei showed great interest in these Japanese people.

He said to the chamberlain, "Let them in." ”

Three middle-aged people with very short looks came in, and the middle-aged man in the lead knelt on the ground at once, and said, "The beast by the river is born to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The Tang Dynasty said it quite smoothly.

Li Wei said: "Good name. ”

"Thank you for the compliment."

Li Wei wanted to laugh, held back, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

I'm stupid to tell me about what happened and help you Japanese people get justice. But this Wa country is not very easy to conquer, there are many people, there are many armies, and there are some crude civilizations. And after the defeat at Liu Renliang, he was afraid that the Tang Dynasty would invade the Japanese mainland, so he dug three trenches on the mainland.

Besides, there is still a sea separation, and it is not much in the interests of the Tang Dynasty to attack this small Japanese country now. On the contrary, there are countless risks.

I met them to see the current servile appearance of this Japanese people, and to show the evil spirit of the future generations.

After reading it and listening to it, he immediately replied: "You can't be the master of this matter." ”

The beast immediately bowed down and cried, in a hurry, and spoke the Chinese language, which he couldn't understand. But his expression was very sad, and he suddenly remembered it, so he changed his Tang Dynasty dialect and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, those Silla people are hateful, and they are also disrespectful to you Tang Dynasty. ”

This sentence goes to the depths of Li Wei's heart.

The Japanese are not a good thing, and *** is not a good thing either. In such a big country, relying on the support of the Americans, it did not slap the Chinese people in the face. It doesn't matter, the most hateful thing is that they are shameless.

However, with the current national strength, it is unrealistic to fight the Japanese state. Fighting Silla, again, is not worth it.

But he had an idea, and said, "Beast life, you wait a while, it is possible that in two or three months, I will give you a satisfactory answer." ”

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, thank you, Your Royal Highness," the prince's peak turned around, making the beast overjoyed and kowtowing again and again. Then take your leave.

From beginning to end, Di Hui sat next to her, her husband was doing business, and she didn't intervene. But after leaving, he hugged Li Huang and said, "Your Highness, the concubine has a sentence that I want to say more." ”

"Say it."

"Now that the Western Regions are not peaceful, and Tibet will come to attack at any time, we can't send troops to Silla."

"Is it possible to send troops for these widows?"

"Then His Highness means ......"

"We don't need to send troops, but two dogs, give them a bone, and it will be dog-eat-dog, and we in the Tang Dynasty are waiting to see a good show. This is also called the snipe and the clam fighting, and the fisherman profits. ”

Without Silla, there would be no later ***, taking the entire Silla, with the sea as the Great Wall, and the enemy would not be able to find a springboard from the East China Sea in the future to attack the inland of the Tang Dynasty. This is not only for the expansion of the Tang Dynasty, but also for the sake of future generations.

"The concubine understands that His Royal Highness wants to instigate the Wa Kingdom to attack Silla and make them lose both." Wei Yue said.

"What is instigation, the wrong word."

Wei Yue giggled.

Then the wind and waves were calm, and a few days passed, and the prince was only in the East Palace, and he would not leave the palace for half a step unless he went to the door. The hearts of many ministers were lowered one by one. But it's still weird. Because of his son's 500 armor soldiers, Li Zhi had no way to return to the palace.

I used to like to live in Shangyang Palace, but I suddenly missed the palace. And if you can't go to the palace, you can't go to the early court.

I was angry and fell ill again.

Wu Zetian saw that it was not a way to go on like this, and the more calm her son was, the more worried she became, and she came to the East Palace again. This time I decided to talk about it.
