Chapter 399: The princess's mansion is a big official
The news of the acquittal of Di Renjie and others quickly caused a sensation in the court.
For a long time, all the prisoners who were arrested and put into the imperial envoy platform have never been able to come out safely again. Although there is already a Yang Fan before Di Renjie and others, the special relationship between Yang Fan and Princess Taiping has now spread and is well known, so everyone directly regards him as a special case.
It wasn't until Di Renjie and others were acquitted that the officials really paid attention to it, and some people with a keen sense of smell felt that Lai Junchen, who had always been favored by the emperor and relied on as his arm, might be unlucky. There are also some people of insight who have seen a more distant future from this incident, and they feel that the Empress's ruling policy seems to have changed somewhat.
Wu Zetian has always been resolute in handling things, and the next morning, she officially promulgated the results of the handling of this incident, and announced the appointment and adjustment of some court officials in court.
In the holy decree, Wu Ze said: Di Renjie, Ren Zhigu, Pei Xingben and others walked closely with the East Palace, and befriended the prince as a courtier, which was suspected of forming a party for personal gain, and losing the duty of a courtier. This time, they were implicated in the East Palace surrender case, not because they didn't know the inspection and the handle of the bereaved.
Therefore, although it has now been ascertained that the treason has nothing to do with them, these officials should also be punished. issued an order to demote Di Renjie as Peng Zeling, Ren Zhigu as Jiangxia Ling, Pei Xuanli as Yiling Ling, Wei Yuanzhong as Fuling Ling, and Lu Xian as Xixiang Ling.
In addition, because a large number of words that ridiculed the current government and slandered the saints were found in the letters found in the mansion of the prime minister Pei Xingben and the assassin Li Sizhen, the two were found guilty of disrespect, deposed from all their official positions, and exiled their families to Lingnan.
As for Lai Junchen, because during the trial of the case of rebellion, the case was simple and rude, tortured to extract confessions, enforced the law and violated the law, and in order to seek merit and connived at his subordinates to concoct perjury, he was dismissed from his post as the imperial historian Zuocheng and demoted to join the army in the same state.
Subsequently, Wu Zetian issued some new appointments to the vacant positions of degraded officials, the most eye-catching of which is, of course, the position of the prime minister, but for the appointment of the prime minister, in fact, everyone already knew it before the emperor issued the decree, and when they heard the decree at this moment, it was really Li Zhaode as the head of the prime minister, Yang Zhirou, Su Wei, etc. as auxiliary ministers to assist Li Zhaode in presiding over the government.
As for the appointment of officials at all levels below the level of Shangshu and Shilang, there was no direct order from the emperor in the court, and these matters had to be arranged by the officials and reported to the emperor for approval. And what really makes people unable to speculate in advance is precisely these positions, so as soon as the dynasty was dispersed, many officials started their own small calculations.
Some wanted to seek official positions for their children and nephews, some wanted to go further for themselves, and some wanted to install and promote their own shili, so several chief officials of the ministry were busy. Those who are in high positions and especially those above them begin to knock on the side and make wishes, and colleagues of equal power have shown favor and invite banquets, and those with official positions lower than them have begun to prepare generous gifts and gifts. Ren Zhigu, Pei Xuanli and other officials who were demoted and exiled couldn't help but hang their heads and were speechless, it was a few families who were happy and a few who were sad.
Di Renjie's heart is really broad-minded, although he was demoted from the prime minister of the dynasty to a small county order in an instant, he was not shocked, very calm, and faced some officials who had good friendships with him to come forward to offer condolences, and he only answered with a smile, without any frustration.
In this case of rebellion, from the prime minister, Shangshu, and Shilang down, there are too many high-ranking officials involved in the case, so few people pay attention to how Yang Fan, the protagonist of "Face Shoumen", will be arranged, in fact, with his official position in the fifth grade, although it is not small in the local area, it is enough to be on an equal footing with the assassin of the government, but it is really not big in Luoyang City, where Beijing officials are like clouds, and he is not in the list of official appointments and dismissals announced by the emperor in court, and he has to wait for the appointment of the officials. …,
None of the officials who were racking their brains for those vacant positions and drilling their own camps did not expect that at this time, Yang Fan was already standing outside the Wucheng Palace, quietly waiting for the arrival of the emperor.
It is often said that a boy can become a man only after he has gone through a woman. Marriage, on the other hand, will make a man mature quickly, because he is in charge of the family alone, he has to play the role of his father at the beginning, and grow into a towering tree to shelter his family from the wind and rain. And what about jailing?
The experience of near-death and death, the torment of life and death, can make a man grow up quickly, and sometimes, there will be reborn changes, which is tantamount to a new life.
Yang Fan was arrested and put in prison as soon as he got married, and was almost sentenced to hanging, this series of encounters has made this young man who is just twenty years old have a valuable wealth that is difficult for his peers to obtain, which is the tempering of the mind, the growth of character and the maturity of wisdom.
In the past, Yang Fan always had a sunny smile on his face, he stood there, like a gun, giving people a sense of sharpness, so that people could notice this vibrant, handsome and dashing young man at a glance.
Now, he still has a smile on his face, but that smile is restrained and subtle, no longer as bright as the sun, but as soft as the moonlight. His waist was still straight, but it was no longer as sharp as a spear, but like a sword, a sword hidden in its sheath.
Wan'er was dealing with the chapter in the Wucheng Palace, she should have known that Yang Fan was outside the door, but she didn't come out to take a look, and she didn't ask Yang Fan to go to the palace to whisper to her, although she wanted to, wanted to ......
Yang Fan didn't wait to ask about her situation from the palace attendants who came in and out, he had now learned to be patient. Sometimes, it takes patience at the right time to have a longer time together, and he has now understood this truth.
In the distance, the bell of the scattered dynasty rang, and Yang Fan turned around and faced the Vientiane Divine Palace. He didn't wait too long, the emperor's step soon appeared under the protection of the honor guard, and the step was gently put down until he entered the third courtyard, and Wu Zetian stood up from the step. Yang Fan waited until Wu Zetian walked in front of him, and then he bowed and said, "Minister Yang Fan, I've seen Bixia!" ”
"Wan'er welcomes everyone!"
At this time, a soft and pleasant voice suddenly sounded next to him, and Yang Fan's heartstrings trembled violently, but he didn't turn his head to look at her. Wu Zetian glanced at Yang Fan calmly and ordered, "Come in with me!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand, asked Wan'er to help, and slowly walked into the Wucheng Palace.
Yang Fan straightened up and followed behind her, and his eyes fell on Wan'er.
Wan'er wore a moon-white bamboo branch pattern men's robe, and her long and graceful neck was as elegant as ever. However, when his eyes fell on Wan'er's waist, he found that the twisted waist seemed to be a little too slender, and the jade belt was tied around her waist, and the waist was unbearable.
The belt gradually widened, and Wan'er lost weight.
Wan'er seemed to notice Yang Fan's gaze, her back stiffened a little, she helped Wu Zetian, walked to the front of the imperial case, let go of her hands and retreated, taking advantage of Wu Zetian's opportunity to sit down, only then did she turn her head and glance at Yang Fan quickly.
Yang Fan kept looking at her, and as soon as Wan'er turned around, she met his affectionate gaze.
Yang Fan looked at the eyebrows like willow leaves, the eyes like danfeng, the cheeks like new li, the greasy goose fat, and the gaze that flashed quickly when it was hot, and his heart was slightly sour.
Wan'er's fruit-like lips pursed slightly, quickly turned her head, and stood still on the side of the imperial case. She didn't dare to look at it more, she was afraid that Yang Fan would see the sadness in her heart.
Wu Zetian coughed lightly and said to Yang Fan: "Yang Fan! ”
Yang Fan hurriedly collected his thoughts, took a step forward, and lowered his hand: "The minister is here!" ”…,
Wu Zetian looked at Yang Fan, stretched out his left hand, gently held up a piece of mash handed by Wan'er, brought it to his lips and took a sip lightly, and said slowly: "You have been falsely accused and wrongfully imprisoned, do you have any grievances against me?" ”
Yang Fan hurriedly said: "Thunder, rain and dew, all are Jun's grace, and the minister is Bixia's courtier, how dare you resentment Bixia." The reason why the minister was wronged and imprisoned was also because his virtue was not enough, which was taken by the villain, fortunately relying on Bixia Shengming, for the minister to clear his grievances, the minister will be self-cultivation and self-reflection in the future, and serve the court. ”
Wu Zetian smiled and said in a deep voice: "Gong Yu is on guard, and he can't relax for a moment. During your imprisonment, your position was taken over by someone else, and this general was conscientious and faithful to his duties, and although it has been proven that you are not at fault, I cannot remove you from your post without fault, so ...... You're going to have to make another arrangement. ”
Her fingers kept gently tapping on the table, and after saying this, she gently raised her eyes, looked at Yang Fan who was standing with her head down, and smiled: "Princess Taiping's Mansion still lacks a long history, and there has been no suitable candidate, are you willing to give in?" ”
When her fingers tapped lightly on the table, Shangguan Wan'er's brows jumped a few times involuntarily, and the hands in her sleeves suddenly clenched tightly, and her fingertips pierced into her palms, but she didn't feel a trace of pain. She wanted to turn her head and give Yang Fan a stern warning, but she used all her strength, and her neck was so stiff that she couldn't twist a bit.
It is not an easy task to show your intentions to others in front of Wu Zetian.
The history of the princess's mansion?
How could the emperor have thought of this position?
Yang Fan was surprised, and a sense of foreboding quickly swelled in his heart. Then, he saw Wan'er's face, Wan'er stood sideways, the curve of her beautiful face was very soft, but he who had already had a skin-to-skin relationship with Wan'er, but he keenly felt the fear and nervousness hidden under that calm look.
He immediately bent down and said in a deep voice: "Bixia but there is an order, and the minister should bow down and obey." It's just that...... It's not that the ministers are arrogant, but because the princess's mansion is too responsible, and the ministers are young and shallow, they are afraid that they will not be able to catch them, and they will have negative hopes, so they ...... The minister didn't dare to take the order! ”
P: In the early hours of the morning, I sincerely ask for monthly tickets and recommended ticket support!
