Chapter 82: The Queen's Means
The prison is very good, the environment is elegant, there should be, but there is less freedom of movement, and the people who can generally enter the prison are the relatives of the emperor.
Wu Qing stayed in the prison in shackles for three days, and he sat quietly under the plane tree, thinking about things. To say that you don't regret it is definitely self-deception. But he did just that.
Wu Qing finally figured it out, Gaozong was jealous of talented people!
That's right, look at Luo Bingwang, Lu Zhaolin, Yang Jiong, Wang Bo, which one is not a prodigy, and which one has not learned the study of the world, but does he reuse it? No, at most, it's just a bachelor's degree or a county order.
The literati are inferior to each other, and they have been since ancient times. Gaozong also pretended to be a literary genius, he knew everything about poetry, books, etiquette and music, he got the throne of the world, and got the most beautiful woman in the world, but he didn't get the title of prodigy, and the world praised him only because he was the emperor.
This is also a very important reason why Gaozong has ignored Wuqing in the past few years. Because of Wu Minzhi's affairs, the queen of heaven guarded him everywhere and wanted him to become her loyal slave. It's not that Wu Qing doesn't understand, but if he becomes a real slave, Wu Qing will completely become a pawn of the queen of heaven. This is something he is unwilling to, not to mention that he has thousands of years of civilization accumulation in his head, even if he can't change the future fate of this era in his official career, why not change the way.
He wants the world to know that he is not a pawn of the queen of heaven, let alone a slave or a lackey.
Di Renjie walked into the prison and saw Wu Qing sitting quietly under the plane tree, and couldn't help but feel strange, since this kid met for the first time, he gave him a feeling of intelligence and assertiveness, but what was it for this time?
"The virtuous nephew is so interested!"
Wu Qing opened his eyes, it turned out to be Di Renjie, he didn't expect Di Renjie to come, so he said: "It turned out to be Di Gong, Di Gong is here to judge me." Wu Qing saw the scribe following him.
Di Renjie is now Dali Cheng, Wu Qing should not have been tried by him, but the other officials were unwilling to offend the queen of heaven, and finally pushed it back and forth to Di Renjie.
"Virtuous nephew, please sit down, Di just asks, it's fine."
Di Renjie is also a clever person, how can he not guess the thoughts of other officials, but this is also an opportunity, if the trial of Wuqing can enter the eyes of the queen of heaven, it is not a good thing.
"Just ask? Di Gong is really joking, if the emperor wanted to kill me, he would have killed him a long time ago, I have nothing to say, I am not a rebellion, I just want to prove that Wu Qingwen can rejuvenate the country, and Wu can also be safe. Why don't you use ministers, the queen of heaven also favors me but doesn't reuse it. As a courtier, I can also bow down and die. ā
Wu Qing's words were sonorous and powerful, containing endless resentment, he could try his best to save his life, how could he not use it, pedantry could only make him more miserable.
Di Renjie was not infected by such a momentum, he smiled, just these few words, he was able to enter the sight of the queen of heaven.
When Di Renjie handed the transcript to the queen of heaven, Di Renjie was received by the queen of heaven.
Looking at this middle-aged man, the queen smiled and asked, "Does Di Aiqing have any children in the family?" ā
Di Renjie didn't dare to raise his head, still lowered his head and said, "There are already three sons in the minister's family. ā
The queen of heaven smiled and asked, "Well, Aiqing is a blessed person, what is the temperament of the third son?" ā
Di Renjie didn't know what the queen of heaven meant by asking this, but he didn't dare to hide it, so he said: "The eldest son is benevolent, the second son is smart, and the third son is quite stubborn and doesn't listen to discipline." ā
The queen of heaven nodded and said: "Yes, there are four sons and one daughter in this palace, the prince Hong has a kind personality, but unfortunately he has been weak and sick since he was a child, the second son is the most stubborn and the most Xiao Emperor, the third son is quite intelligent, and the fourth son is the most mediocre in qualifications." My daughter Taiping is quite like me, smart and clever, and the most lovable, but unfortunately she is a daughter. ā
Di Renjie still didn't know what the queen of heaven was going to say, but he still said: "The princes and princesses are all rich and noble people, and the queen of heaven doesn't need to worry about it, just need to be guided by a good life, and she will be rich and noble for a lifetime." ā
"Well, that's right, a good student can be used by my Datang. Although Wu Qing is the heir of my martial family, his intelligence and intelligence are rare pillars. I didn't use him at the beginning, just to kill his pride, so that he would know how to abide by the laws of my Datang Dynasty and know how to be an official, not just by relying on intelligence and intelligence. It's a pity that both the emperor and the main palace suppressed it too much, which made him rebellious. It's the fault of the main palace. Now Wu Qing is in need of guidance, and only by guiding him on the right path can he be used by the imperial court and the emperor. ā
The queen of heaven looked a little excited, and the pair of sword buns swayed as she stepped up, making a slight sound.
Di Renjie realized that the queen of heaven wanted to let herself think of a way to exonerate Wu Qing, Di Renjie pondered for a moment, and suddenly had an idea.
So he said: "Weichen has two ways to get Wu Qing out of trouble. ā
Empress Wu smiled, this is what she wanted, so she nodded and asked, "Aiqing said to listen to it." ā
Di Renjie arched his hand and said: "Now that the prince is about to get married, if an amnesty is announced for the world, Wuqing can get out of prison, this is the simplest and most effective method, just the royal face." ā
Empress Wu frowned when she heard this, and to tell the truth, she was going to use the prince's marriage to amnesty the world to save Wu Qing, so she asked, "What about the second one?" ā
Di Renjie continued: "Article 36 of the "Tang Law" states that those who are obsessed with their hearts, trapped by love, and confused by their minds will be exempted from punishment or one year in prison if they do not cause harm to others. ā
The queen thought about it and felt that the first method was better, after all, so many ministers had seen it, so it was to cover their ears and steal the bell, and they were smiling and generous.
"Aiqing retreats for the time being, Aiqing can go and talk to Wu Qing."
After Di Renjie left, the queen of heaven summoned the maid and ordered: "Set up the East Palace!" ā
Since promising the queen of heaven to take the Pei family as the crown princess, the crown prince Li Hong temporarily put aside political affairs and began to prepare for the wedding. The prince's wedding, the etiquette is cumbersome, the time is long, and there are too many things to prepare.
As soon as the prince had finished trying on the dress, he heard the guard report that the queen had arrived. Li Hong didn't dare to slack off, and hurried out of the palace to greet him.
After the mother and son sat down, the queen of heaven said, "How is the emperor preparing?" ā
Li Hong arched his hand and said: "Queen Mother, the sons are preparing, and they can't miss a big event." ā
The queen of heaven knew that the prince had opinions about herself in recent years, but this was her own child, so she said: "Emperor, today's mother wants you to get married early." ā
"In advance?" The prince was stunned, but he still obeyed the will of the queen of heaven, since he was a child, he never disobeyed his father and the queen mother, "The son and the minister obey the arrangement of the queen mother." ā
Listening to the grievances in the prince's words, the queen of heaven said: "This palace knows that your relationship with Wuqing has been very ordinary in the past few years, and now that Wuqing has entered the prison, can you bear not to save it?" ā
Li Hong suddenly froze, he has discussed with several ministers about Wuqing's affairs in the past few days, but the minister Jian yƬ himself ignored it, he knew that if he didn't act, it would make Wuqing's heart cold, and even more so that the courtiers who followed him would also be cold, so he hurriedly said: "Erchen has been thinking hard about strategies these days, forgiving Erchen for being stupid, and Erchen can't think of a way to save his cousin." ā
Since the queen of heaven came to the East Palace, she wanted to sue the prince Li Hong, and the prince's wedding amnesty would be granted to the world, and Wu Qing could be pardoned.
Li Hong naturally agreed, and his enthusiasm for the wedding also reached an unprecedented positive.
