Chapter 190: The Old Fox (Asking for a Monthly Pass at Two Watches in the Morning)
Miao Shenke's family is handling the aftermath.
Miao Shenke has a son and two daughters, and his two sons-in-law also live with him, and it is Wang Qi, the eldest son-in-law of Miao Shenke, who answered the door.
Although Wu Zetian suspected that Miao Shenke was killed by him, the people of the Miao family didn't know, they all thought that Miao Shenke couldn't bear the pressure of the Empress Wu and committed suicide, so the so-called Queen of Heaven sent condolences to him, which was naturally a trick of fake compassion by a cat crying mouse, but they didn't dare to show this mentality.
Di Renjie's old eyes were so keen, he not only noticed that Miao Shenke's two sons-in-law, Wang Qi and Li Xianguang, were pretending to be sad, but even noticed that they had a kind of relief and ease, if it weren't for the high set of the spirit shed, and the monk sent by the abbot of Tiangong Temple next to him was humming and chanting the mantra of the past life, Miao Shenke's son and two daughters were crying endlessly, and the atmosphere was too heavy, and they would even unconsciously show joy.
This is also desirable, after all, they are not Miao Shenke's biological children, Miao Shenke lives here and avoids the door, they know exactly what the reason is, and what Wu Zetian will do with Miao Shenke, they don't have a spectrum in their hearts. I'm afraid that they are not less worried that they will be implicated, and they will be beheaded by the will of the Empress Wu, and now that Miao Shenke is dead, the noose tied around their necks can be regarded as unraveled.
Di Renjie, who is familiar with the world's affairs and human feelings, saw it in his eyes, but he just sighed secretly, and did not break it. He did not tell the Miao family that he was ordered to investigate and handle the case, but only after offering incense and worshipping. I talked with Miao Shenke's son for a while, and asked Miao Shenke if there was any abnormal behavior before and after his "suicide", whether there were any guests visiting Miao Mansion that day, and so on.
Du Xian, as a disciple of Miao Shenke, also wore filial piety clothes, and was busy with work inside and out, and suddenly, he saw a more familiar face in a group of people who came with the fat old man surnamed Di. After taking a closer look, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah! It's you! ”
Yang Fan bent down and touched his head and said, "Little brother." You're here too. ”
Di Renjie heard the two answers, turned his head and said, "Oh, you know each other? ”
Yang Fan said: "Yes." Some time ago, on the orders of the official to wait for the edict, I once came to the door to ask for a pair of words from Master Miao, and it was this little brother who opened the door for me at that time. ”
Yang Fan sighed and said, "I didn't expect to come back today, and I have been separated from Master Miao's yin and yang." ”
Di Renjie's expression moved slightly, and he asked, "But the day when my nephew saved me?" ”
Yang Fan said: "Exactly! ”
Miao Shenke lives here, which is actually equivalent to house arrest, and Di Renjie also knows that the person who takes care of him is Shangguan Wan'er, Shangguan Wan'er is good at poetry and writing, and specializes in dealing with ministers. came to ask for a word, it was a very common thing, so he nodded, stood up, and said to Miao Shenke's son and two sons-in-law: "The old man will go back." A few of you would like to mourn and change! ”
The Miao family hurriedly returned the salute, Di Renjie led Yang Fan, Zhang Xitong and others to go out, the Miao family sent them to the gate and went back, Di Renjie stood outside the gate and did not leave immediately, he looked at the narrow and secluded alley, and looked at the high walls on the left and right. A thoughtful look on his face.
After a while, Shu Asheng walked over quickly, Shu Asheng was Di Renjie's personal companion, and he had always been by his side, but not long after he arrived at Miao's house, he disappeared without a trace, and he didn't know what to do.
Shu Asheng came to Di Renjie's side and said, "Ah Lang! ”
Di Renjie asked, "How is it?" ”
Shu Asheng said: "The villain asked, the few vendors selling dates, walnuts and incense candles at the entrance of the alley have never seen anyone enter this alley on the day Master Miao hanged himself. ”
Di Renjie smiled and said, "Can they remember it so clearly?" How can they be sure that at the end of the day, no one will be able to escape their eyes by staring at this alley? ”…,
Shu Asheng said: "The villain asked, they said, because there is only one family surnamed Miao in this alley, few people in the Miao family go outside, except for the Miao family will come out to buy some food in the morning, and they don't see the Miao family come out all day long, and no one has ever gone in, so they don't need to remember whether anyone has entered the alley on the day Miao hanged himself, in fact, no one has entered this alley these days." ”
Di Renjie nodded and said, "Well, in this way, their testimony can be trusted!" ”
He raised his head, looked at the two high walls on the left and right, and said, "If Master Miao really didn't hang himself, then someone must have persecuted him, and this person didn't follow the normal path to enter. You see, on the left side of this alley is Tianjin Bridge, a long street in the middle of the city, people come and go, it is impossible for someone to enter from this side over the wall. Behind the house is the Luohe River adjacent to the Tianjin Bridge, and that place is not suitable for diving, so what is left......?"
Yang Fan said: "Then there is only this right, only it is possible to turn in from the Tiangong Temple!" ”
Di Renjie nodded and said, "Let's go!" Let's go to Tiangong Temple and have a look! ”
Di Renjie and his entourage walked out of the alley and went around to the Tiangong Temple next to it, only to see the flow of people in the Tiangong Temple, only in and out, before entering the door, a wave of sound came, Di Renjie couldn't help but wonder: "What day is today, is there a meeting in the temple?" ”
Shu Asheng said: "The little one goes and asks." ”
Shu Asheng squeezed into the temple, and after a while, he ran out and reported to him: "Ah Lang, the abbot of Tiangong Temple is teaching the "Great Cloud Sutra" to believers. ”
Di Renjie said with some surprise: "Oh? How many people came to listen to the scriptures? ”
Shu Asheng said: "I heard that everyone who came to listen to the scriptures today was rewarded with one liter of rice!" ”
Di Renjie suddenly said to Yang Fan: "Let's go, let's go in and have a look!" ”
A group of people followed the crowd into the Tiangong Temple, Zhang Xitong and other guards were still guarding the periphery of Di Renjie, only to see the high steps in front of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, set up a Dharma platform, an old monk wearing a big red robe, Bao Xiang solemnly sat on the Dharma platform, the four-legged incense burner in front of the stage, high inserted in the arm thickness of countless sandalwood, the Dharma platform incense smoke, looming like the Heavenly Palace.
Master Yuanshu, the abbot of Tiangong Temple, sat on the Dharma platform, chanting Sanskrit, and he didn't know what he was talking about when he heard him babble. After talking for a long time, he stopped his voice, picked up the bowl and drank a sip of water, and a small novice on the side said loudly: "Be quiet, be quiet, listen to the abbot's explanation." ”
The abbot of Yuanshu put down the bowl and coughed clearly: "The World-Honored One has a saying: I have attained Nirvana." Thou shalt be in the Buddha for the time being, and you will have a glimpse of the Great Nirvana Sutra. I think that karma has a heavenly body today. It is worth hearing about the deep meaning of my birth. She is the shape of the sky, that is, the land of the king with the female body. Then the ministers will serve you as the heir of the king. The woman is both upright and mighty in the world. All the lands of Yan Futi have come to worship, and there is no one who refuses to violate them......"
"The World-Honored One said this. After the Buddha's nirvana, this personal disciple should descend to the world and rule the world as a woman in place of the Buddha. The ministers and hundreds of officials, all the people of the world, and the barbarians of the four directions should all submit to her feet. We all know that after the Buddha attained Nirvana, which Buddha was the one who ruled the Buddha country? ”
The believers in the audience who listened to the scriptures were gossiping, and someone responded: "It's the future Buddha!" ”
"It's Maitreya Buddha!"
"Maitreya Buddha is the future Buddha!"
The abbot of Yuanshu smiled slightly and said, "Yes, it's Maitreya Buddha." And this female body is mortal, the empress who rules the world, is the incarnation of Maitreya Buddha in the world. Speaking of which, some donors with wisdom roots must have thought of it. Not bad! After today, it is the incarnation of Maitreya Buddha in the world, and he rules the world by the order of the world-honored one. It will take away all misery......"
Di Renjie stood in the crowd, shook his head secretly, and sighed softly. …,
Regarding Wu Zetian's idea of becoming emperor, Di Renjie naturally saw it early. For Wu Zetian, Di Renjie had a very contradictory mentality in his heart. Di Renjie is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but his loyalty. is not loyal to the Li Tang family, but loyal to the entire Tang Kingdom, so he is not opposed to Wu Zetian being called emperor.
In Di Renjie's view, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor, the important thing is that the country is still stable and strong, and the thousands of people in this country can live peacefully, and at present, there is indeed no one who has the ability to rule this huge empire more than Empress Wu.
However, he clearly realized that for thousands of years, men have been in charge of the country, and the Empress Wu will be more resistant to changing the dynasty than men, so if she is the queen mother, it is really the best choice, once she wants to be the emperor, it is inevitable to kill, which will inevitably cause great losses to the country.
Personally, he was loyal to the country, and he was also impressed by the courage of the Empress Wu, so he was loyal to the Empress Wu, and he supported the rule of the Empress Wu, but the country was already under the rule of the Empress Wu, and he did not agree with the title of the Emperor and the series of measures adopted by the Empress Wu.
At the same time, he knew better that Empress Wu was old, and once Empress Wu passed away, this empire should eventually return to the hands of the Li Tang clan, and if the Wu clan inherited this empire, it would definitely cause greater turmoil for this empire, because none of the descendants of the Wu clan could be the master of a country.
On the other hand, Li Tang has gone through three generations of emperors, and his rule over the Tang Dynasty is deep-rooted, this kind of influence is by no means something that Empress Wu, the daughter-in-law of the Li family, can be erased in a few years after being called an emperor, even if she kills ruthlessly, it is impossible, unless she is given thirty or fifty years to rule this empire, and at least ten years to cultivate an heir, can she still live that long?
Di Renjie sighed softly, and suddenly remembered that Princess Taiping had invited her to a banquet a few days ago, and his heart couldn't help but move: "The Li Tang clan is not prosperous, and those who want to cheer up the clan have been killed by the queen of heaven, but ...... Princess Taiping, as the queen's favorite daughter, was not seen as a threat by the queen, this is 'dark under the lamp'. ”
"The crown prince and the king of Luling are cowardly and mediocre, neither of them is talented, several times in the Li Tang clan, and now only this princess Taiping is quite talented. Taiping invited the old man to the banquet, and the prime minister accompanied her, it seems that she has the heart to get involved in court politics, which is a great thing! Empress Wu seeks the throne, and has to rely on the Wu clan, Taiping fights for power, and the person who can only be relied on is the Li Tang clan, so she has to protect the Li Tang clan as much as possible, so ...... There is a glimmer of hope for the revival of the Lee family......"
Thinking of this, Di Renjie nodded secretly, and had already made up his mind in his heart.
