Since Li Xian restored the throne and announced to the world, the vigilance of the divine capital Luoyang was several times stricter than before. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before it was dark, the palace gate was locked early, and the guards patrolling back and forth could see a wave from time to time, and the armor was bright under the light of torches and palace lamps, and the blade was like snow.

The atmosphere outside the palace is tense and depressing, but the palace is very lively, but because of the existence of the formation ban, outsiders can't see the scene of red lights, green wine, singing and dancing inside.

The guards who happened to pass by could see the shadows jumping off the light curtain in the forbidden area, which made them have many associations.

When Di Renjie came to the palace gate, the overnight guard officer led the way and took him to a side hall, waiting for the summons of Wu Zetian, the empress of Wu Zhou.

There was no one else in the side hall except Di Renjie, and the candle flame in the palace lamp made a crackling sound from time to time.

The night breeze blows, and his slender figure is projected on the wall, like a black shadow dancing in the air.

Di Renjie was sitting motionless, and there was no special expression on his face.

Compared to ten years ago, he looks a little older, his beard has been slightly gray, and his face has more wrinkles.

However, those eyes were still shining brightly, and ordinary people did not dare to look at him, for fear that these eyes would see through their hearts and peep into the secret.

Di Renjie, who was calm on the surface, felt a slight flurry in his heart, and when he was young, he was admitted to the Ming Jingke in the imperial examination and served as the judge of Bianzhou.

Bianzhou is the base camp of the Yangzhou Army at this moment, and was later recommended by Yan Liben to serve as Fa Cao in the Governor's Mansion of Bingzhou.

After making achievements in the local area, he was immediately promoted to Dali Cheng, and handled more than 10,000 backlog cases in one year.

It was also during that period that he became acquainted with Li Xian and rescued Tang Ao, who was almost eaten by the monk Xuyan.

The sea has been up and down for ten years, I have been to the place, I have been to the capital, and I will remember the three provinces a day at every moment.

Every time he has done an official position, he will look back before leaving, and he does not want to leave regrets and stains on himself by taking the wrong path, this is his way of being an official.

Some time ago, Di Renjie returned to Luoyang, the capital of God, and was crowned as Luantai Shilang by Wu Zetian.

The haze of being impeached and degraded by Prime Minister Zhang Guangfu because of Li Zhen's rebellion was swept away.

His son Di Guangyuan wanted to set off 10,000 firecrackers for this reason, but he was severely reprimanded by him, and almost asked the monk to beat Di Guangyuan.

Di Renjie saw the current situation very thoroughly, although he didn't know much about the affairs of cultivators, but as a politically sensitive official, he could already peek into the clues.

The Great Zhou Emperor Wu Cao seemed to be a little helpless against Li Xian, who announced the restoration of the throne.

It is hard to imagine that the Yangzhou Army in Henan Province has caused such a momentum, and Di Renjie feels that it is not possible to deal with it by himself.

Because the Yangzhou Army was already full-fledged, and under the banner of restoring Li Tang's righteousness, it put tremendous pressure on Wu Zhou, who had not yet completely stabilized the regime.

If the Yangzhou army cannot be pacified quickly, it will not be a few empty princes like Li Zhen who will respond to the Yuanzhi County King, and it may be a big family!

Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, although the status of the gate valve has slowly declined from high to high, the influence of the scholars is still incomparable.

Once the aristocratic group that previously supported Wu Zetian turned to duplex or even defected to the Yangzhou army, the situation would quickly erode out of control.

Even if Wu Zetian has the help of gods and men, it is useless to claim the reincarnation of the Heavenly Maiden.

This is the power of righteousness and the general trend, no matter how powerful the cultivators are, they can't erase the Tang Dynasty from the mountains and rivers and kill all the thirty or forty million people in the Tang Dynasty!

To rule the world, it is people who rely on it after all, and it is mortals that cultivators disdain.

When Di Renjie's thoughts continued, Gao Lishi walked into the side hall, and the male duck coughed a few times.

"Lord Di, Your Majesty summoned Lord Di to go to Xiantai to see the driver, there are many steps to meet Sendai, if Lord Di does not have the strength, you can eat some tea and pastries first, so as not to lose your manners in front of the king."

Di Renjie smiled slightly: "The old man is not old, he can walk 1,800 steps, and you will lead the way in front of your head." ”

Gao Lishi had heard that Di Renjie had a good relationship with Li Xian and Tang Ao when he was young, and as Tang Ao's meticulous work arranged by Wu Zetian's side, he couldn't understand the ministers that Wu Zetian had recently met.

Wu Chenghei, Zhang Changzong and others don't have to be many, they are all goods who can sneak around like him.

Especially Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi's brothers, they thought they were handsome and handsome, and they thought they could get Wu Zetian's favor.

Gao Lishi scoffed at this, the rumors in the market were too outrageous, and it was strange that Wu Zetian could take a fancy to the Zhang brothers.

Those two things are not even as good as him! He's at least touched the threshold of a cultivator now!

As for Wu Zetian's many summons of Zhang Changzong's brothers late at night, although Gao Lishi was not allowed to get close, he had a defective body and no problems with his eyes.

At the moment, it seems that Wu Zetian and the Zhang family brothers have nothing dirty, but they seem to be testing something with the Zhang family brothers.

Every time the Zhang brothers left the palace, their steps were very staggering, and their faces were very pale.

In addition to these incompetent characters, Gao Lishi also met Yao Chong, the Xia official squire, and Tang Xiujing, the governor of Liangzhou, was also summoned and crowned as the general of the right Wuwei and the general of the right Jinwu.

Counting today's Di Renjie, Wu Zetian has promoted many civil and military ministers in just one month, and quite a few people have been appreciated by Wu Zetian and have risen to the sky.

Gao Lishi was a little hesitant to tell Tang Ao about this situation, but thinking about the powerful cultivators who lived on Sendai, he extinguished this idea again.

During this time, it is better to choose to hibernate, so as not to expose the flaws, he doesn't want to turn into a cloud of flying ashes and dissipate in an instant.

In that way, you can't even have a soul left, and it's a luxury to want to cultivate an afterlife.

Di Renjie walked up to Xiantai, even if he was in good health, he was slightly panting, which made him look at Gao Lishi who was leading the way on his side.

It is said that the inner eunuch is weak, but the one in front of him is an exception!

Wu Zetian wore a black robe tonight, which set off her skin as white as greasy, and she wore a crown on her head, highlighting the majesty of the Son of Heaven.

The palace maid beside her stood silently, and she didn't seem to be able to hear even the sound of breathing in the hall.

Hearing Gao Lishi sing his name, Wu Zetian waved his hand and motioned to the palace maid to lead Di Renjie to the main hall.

Di Renjie, as a courtier, did not get up after the ceremony.

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Di Aiqing is flat and sits." ”

The two palace maids brought a wooden pier and put it in front of Di Renjie, Di Renjie thanked him again, and no one could find the slightest flaw in the details.

"Di Aiqing has been waiting for a while, right? We ordered the people to prepare delicious pastries and fragrant tea, and we gentlemen chatted while eating. ”

Wu Zetian was very courteous to Di Renjie, and Di Renjie did not prevaricate, he had just climbed so many steps, he was indeed thirsty and hungry.

Wu Zetian held a piece of starch candy-style pastry in her hand and ate it slowly, as a cultivator, she had already opened the valley.

She did this because she didn't want Di Renjie to feel the pressure, and she was very considerate of Di Renjie opposite.

Di Renjie ate seven points full, drank a cup of tea, and said after thanking him again: "Your Majesty summoned Weichen into the palace late at night, there must be 100,000 urgent things, although Weichen is old and old, he is also willing to contribute to His Majesty." ”

Wu Zetian is very satisfied with Di Renjie's posture, Di Renjie is a rare talent, who has been born in a scientific examination, has been in places for a long time, and is good at punishment.

Especially when Li Xian was restored to the throne under the support of the Yangzhou army, Di Renjie did not hesitate like some Wu Zhou courtiers, did not do the wall-riding faction, but continued to do his own business, which made Wu Zetian feel very relieved.

"Several adults in the political hall have proposed to tell the old man to return to his hometown, and I have approved their invitation, however, the political hall cannot be without a face for a day, I am ready to let Di Aiqing consul general in the political hall as a military important matter, and the other people who entered the political hall are Yao Chong, Tang Xiujing, Wu Chenghe, Er and other four people to stabilize the situation first, what does Di Aiqing think?"

Di Renjie frowned slightly, the important affairs of the military are equivalent to the deputy prime minister, but at this time, he was appointed as the consul general of the important affairs of the military affairs, which was a bit inappropriate.

He is a very self-aware person, although since the opening of the Tang Dynasty, there is no distinction between civil and military, many civil officials and military generals often serve in cross-posts, and there are some beautiful talks about generals and ministers.

But he is really not good at leading troops to fight, and letting him take on the important affairs of the military state is a bit of a duck on the shelf!

Wu Zetian seemed to expect Di Renjie to refuse, and continued: "Recently, some interesting news came from the Yangzhou army, Li Xian allocated a large amount of money and requisitioned 100,000 people to build a Taoist temple for Tang Ao in Taihang Mountain, called the Five Elements Temple, what does Di Aiqing think the Yangzhou army's move means? ”

"Monasticism?"

Di Renjie was stunned, the Yangzhou army had just gained a foothold in Henan Province, and instead of continuing to attack Luoyang, the capital of the gods, it spent a huge amount of money to build the Five Elements Temple, what is the reason?

There is no shortage of Xu Jingye and Wei Siwen in the Yangzhou army, and such a broad-minded talent would let Li Xian and Tang Ao be so foolish?

"Your Majesty, the Yangzhou Army's move will never be as simple as it appears on the surface, and the minister thinks that this matter must be spied in detail, in case the Yangzhou Army has other conspiracies, and Luoyang's defense must continue to be strengthened, no matter what the Yangzhou Army plans to end up in Luoyang City!"

Wu Zetian smiled slightly: "Di Aiqing is right, it seems that my arrangement is very right, Di Aiqing will go to the political hall tomorrow and discuss a protocol with Yao Chong and others, the night is cold and heavy, Di Aiqing retreat!" Wan'er, bring my robe and put it on for Di Aiqing. ”

Shangguan Wan'er came out from behind the screen, holding a leather robe to keep out the cold, and Di Renjie asked Shangguan Wan'er to help him put it on.

After thanking him, he left to pick up Sendai, still thinking about the news of Tang Ao's construction of the Five Elements Temple, no matter how he looked at it, it had nothing to do with the situation of fighting for the country, could it be a stupid move of the Yangzhou army?

Shangguan Wan'er turned around and took out several prepared edicts from behind the screen and asked Wu Zetian to take a look.

"Your Majesty, the will has been prepared, Your Majesty will see if there is anything wrong, and Wan'er will immediately revise it."
