In the face of Wu Zetian's inquiry, Di Renjie did not take it lightly, Wu Zetian valued the 'people's heart' very much, and even set up a box outside the palace to let the people speak on their own.

Although such measures are often mere formalities, a peek at the leopard can also show some of the thoughts of the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven wants to know the people's hearts and minds just to know whether his rule is consolidated.

So Di Renjie said with a smile: "The people live and work in peace and contentment, chickens and dogs smell each other, and the world returns to the heart, but there are occasionally some gossips, but you still need to be cautious." ”

Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows: "What kind of rumors?" ”

Di Renjie smiled again and said: "It's just some trivial things in Luoyang, but I don't have the courage to talk about the palace, it's nothing more than which minister is fighting for wealth and the like, these things are the talk of the people, and those who talk about this matter can be said to be relishing; However, if you encounter a bad year, it may become a bad thing. ”

Wu Zetian couldn't help but say: "How do you say this? ”

Di Renjie shook his spirits and said: "The same thing, if it is in an ordinary year, the people may not have any bad comments about it, but feel that this competition for beauty and wealth is an anecdote and wonder. However, if it were not in peacetime, the same thing would not have been said by the person who said it, and the listener would be angry, but in fact it was not that things were different, but although the people may not have received any education, their joys, sorrows, and sorrows would change according to their own food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. If everyone in the world lives and works in peace and contentment, then even if the Zhumen is extremely extravagant, the people can still return to their hearts, but if there is a disaster year, if two years ago, Jiangnan West Road encountered a locust plague, then the people have no food and clothing, and they will inevitably have resentment, so anything in Luoyang City can become an excuse for resentment. ”

Speaking of this, Di Renjie paused for a moment before he said, "So the minister's foolish opinion is." The solidity of the country is better than the abundance of the people, Your Majesty...... That's a big deal. ”

Wu Zetian listened and fell silent.

She felt it suddenly. Di Renjie's words seem to have another meaning.

Isn't he saying that if he wants to stabilize the world, he will never rely on suppressing the Li family, by killing a few Li Jingye or Li Chong? Is he ironic that he has connived at Lai Junchen and others?

But...... His words did not seem to be unreasonable.

But Wu Zetian still pursed his lips and smiled, and said lightly: "The words of the Qing family are thought-provoking. Since I ascended the throne, there have been frequent rebellions, and although the world has gradually become peaceful, the court is still in ruins, and you have been quite effective in governing the place, so I want to use you to become the prosperity of the people as you say. It's just that now there is a public case, and I don't know if you have heard of it. Although this case is not big, the impact is extremely bad, you immediately distinguish the merits, and after solving this matter, enter the three provinces. ”

Before entering Luoyang, Di Renjie knew a rough idea of this matter.

He knows very well what is going on, as Wu Zetian said, this matter is not a big deal, but the impact is extremely bad, let others investigate it. There must be a lot of uproar, but let Di Renjie do it, Di Renjie is known for his fairness, and this matter is too small. It's just a fight, with his fairness, he will never expand the situation, at most, it will be Qin Shaoyou or Zhang Yizhi, who doesn't know the general situation, and insults the official etiquette. If someone else comes to do it, everyone will definitely say that it is a cover-up. But Di Renjie did it, and no one could find a thorn, even if everyone felt that Di Gong's punishment was too light, no one dared to question it.

This is Wu Zetian's intention, it seems that he wants to treat this matter as a major matter, and he will not show favoritism, nor will he shield anyone because of Qin Shaoyou or Zhang Yizhi's relationship with the palace, but in fact, he is just using Di Renjie as a shield.

Di Renjie nodded and said: "After the minister leaves the palace, he immediately goes to Luoyang County, this is a small case, that is, there will be a result in three or five days." ”

Wu Zetian said with a smile: "With Di Gong here, this matter is easy to say, but there is no need to rush to ask, Di Qing is coming from afar, it is good to take a rest." ”

Di Renjie hurriedly said: "There is a saint of labor who is concerned, and the minister is a person who can't be idle, but it's okay." ”

Since he said this, Wu Zetian didn't refute it anymore, so he smiled and said, "Wan'er, send one to Di Qing." ”

Shangguan Wan'er nodded.

Di Renjie also got up and retired with great interest, and followed Shangguan Wan'er out of the Xuanzheng Palace.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Di Renjie was in good spirits, and after leaving the palace, he went straight to Luoyang County.

The Liu County Commander of Luoyang County had been looking forward to him for a long time. On the one hand, he really wanted to see the world-famous Di Renjie, and on the other hand, there were two uncles in the county, he was really his mother worried, and when he learned that Di Renjie had arrived, he didn't bring any entourage, and he was wearing a regular dress that rushed to Beijing, but he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly went out to greet him, and said: "The lower officials have seen Di Gong, Di Gong came from afar, and he failed to meet him from afar, which is really a crime that deserves death." ”

Di Renjie said with a little smile: "Ha...... Yuan Fang, don't be polite. ”

Liu Xianling was stunned for a moment, Yuan Fang is his word, he and Di Renjie, they only heard his name before, but they didn't see him, why did this Di Gong recognize himself?

Seeing that Liu Xianling was stunned, Di Renjie said with a smile: "You must be puzzled, the old man knows you, you are the Jinshi of the Ming Jingke in the first year of Xianqing, before the imperial examination, you had submitted to various prefectures, and there happened to be a copy of it to the old man, and the old man read your article and has been paying attention to you." ”

Call......

Liu Xian Ling suddenly understood.

In fact, Liu Xianling's family background is not good, so he was not too sure when he was in the imperial examination, he learned to throw papers everywhere, and then carried out the imperial examination, and then he was confused and won the jinshi, so he has today.

At that time, he was still muttering, how could he get hit?

Now it seems that I am only afraid that the one who is secretly contributing is estimated to be Di Renjie.

It's a pity that before the exam, it stands to reason that there are generally high-ranking families or high-ranking officials who fall in love with which candidates, they will be invited to come to the house in advance to talk and make friends, and then everyone will have the bottom in their hearts, and the candidates will know that they will be taken care of soon, and they will be grateful in their hearts, and these people who promote the younger generations have given favors and are satisfied.

Di Renjie did not go through this process, and it was not until now that Liu Xian Ling knew who his engong was.

He hurriedly took a few steps forward, and instead of saluting, he directly bowed to the ground, and said, "It turns out that Di Gong is actually a Grace Mansion, please accept the student's worship." ”

Di Renjie hurriedly picked him up and said, "Don't be polite, let's talk about business first." ”

Liu Xian Ling hurriedly welcomed him into the middle hall, accompanied him at the end of the seat, Di Renjie sat down, and then said: "The old man probably knows some of the causes and consequences of this matter, Yuan Fang, what do you think?" ”

Liu Xian Ling knew in his heart that at this time, the relationship between himself and Di Renjie was no longer as simple as that of Shangguan and Xiaguan, and there was no need for him to be polite and tempted, he just needed to honestly say what he thought, he said without hesitation: "The key to the problem is not the right or wrong of these two people, nor is it a problem of criminal law, in fact, to put it bluntly, the palace invited Enfu to investigate this case, and it was only the reputation of Enfu that was borrowed, not because this was a strange case, so it ...... The student's suggestion is nothing more than to go through all the procedures that should be taken, and ask the cases that should be asked, and then deal with them impartially. He smiled, looking very relaxed, now he is no longer the former Liu Yuanjun, and his confidence is much more than before, after all, there is a deputy prime minister is his own family, so he is no longer anxious, but seems to be light: "In fact, this case, the facts are very clear, not more difficult than the case tried in the county, yesterday Luoyang County two families fought for land, are more troublesome than this case." ”

Di Renjie nodded and said, "What Yuan Fang said is very true, and the old man also thinks so. ”

Liu Xian Ling's spirit was shocked, and he continued: "But the most difficult thing at the moment is not the case itself, but the fact that these two people are extraordinary, especially the ...... of Zhang Yizhi" Speaking of this, Liu Xian Ling glanced at Di Renjie with a little caution before continuing: "Zhang Yizhi is even more of His Majesty's fortunate minister, it is said that His Majesty has always been inseparable from him, such a person, Enfu judged like this, he must be unwilling, and he must be with Qin Shaoyou to the death, so in the opinion of students, this case, Enfu must quickly cut through the mess, Maybe at this time, Zhang Yizhi's brother is already planning outside to expand the situation, if Enfu is a step slower, it will only make things more complicated, and if it involves this huge trouble, he will not be able to get out. If they have eyebrows as soon as possible, they will fight to the death, it is their own business, and it has nothing to do with Enfu. ”

"Therefore, the meaning of the student is that he will be judged now, and after the trial, he will go to the book in these two days, so as not to have many dreams at night."

Di Renjie glanced at Liu Xian Ling appreciatively, nodded and said, "Yuan Fang, I didn't misunderstand you, your words are very insightful." Zhang Yizhi...... Zhang Changzong...... Zhang Yizhi who is imprisoned here is not troublesome, it is Zhang Changzong who is in trouble, as you said, this Qin Shaoyou and Zhang Yizhi have nothing to do with the old man, and the trial is done as soon as possible, you go and call these two now, and the old man wants to ask one or two. ”

Liu Xian Ling hurriedly responded: "The student will do it." ”
