Chapter 659: Di Renjie questioned the ruling
The emperor was in a dilemma at this time, this queen couldn't just say that he was abandoned, but he said it again! The most important thing is that the edict is covered with a jade seal, which is already a foregone conclusion, unless he can ruthlessly tear up this abolished edict. But if this is the case, it will definitely hurt Wu Zhaoyi's heart, if Wu Zhaoyi really seeks death and reverses life, what should he do? After all, she is also a favored concubine, and her love for many years is still there.
The emperor thought about it and felt that it would be good to persuade Wu Zhaoyi first, and then reward her with something to appease this woman. He won't pursue the matter of the jade seal, and after the abolition, he also wants Wu Zhaoyi to open his eyes and close his eyes to fool the past.
"Oh, concubine Ai~ don't cry. I know that you have been wronged, and this jade seal matter is a misunderstanding. It's not good for me, you are my favorite concubine, how can I be willing to punish you and let you die? Don't cry, get up first, it's cold on the ground. The emperor immediately reached out to help Wu Zhaoyi, in his opinion, women are men's playthings, and whatever they say is what. He now gave Wu Zhaoyi a step, and Wu Zhaoyi would definitely go down the steps in a hurry, so as not to annoy him and lose his favor in the future.
"Your Majesty! What you said must be counted, as long as this abolished edict is passed on, everything will be a foregone conclusion. Since you love your concubines, you should spoil me alone, the queen has a lot of immorality, and she is no longer worthy of being in the back position. Your Majesty, you won't go back, will you? Wu Zhaoyi stared at the emperor pitifully, tears flashed in her weak eyes, and her hearts softened.
When Di Renjie saw this scene, he felt very uncomfortable. It is obvious that Wu Zhaoyi is hiding the jade seal, and there is a conspiracy to rebel. How did it become that the emperor was drunk and thrown in Guiping Palace? Taking 10,000 steps back, even if this foolish emperor drunk and threw away the jade seal, if Wu Zhaoyi had no ambition, he should return the jade seal as soon as possible. Why is it being pulled back and forth now, and it has actually become a matter of abolishing the queen and establishing the queen, and it has become a farce for harem women to compete for favor and power?
"Your Majesty, the minister feels that the matter concerning the jade seal must be treated with caution. It's not that Wu Zhaoyi can be perfunctory with a few words of explanation, and you just said that you won't be punished, which is extremely inappropriate. This stealing the jade seal and hiding the jade seal are both great crimes! Your Majesty will not punish this time if you connive at it, there will be a next time and a next time! Di Renjie's face was serious and frowned, risking the emperor's anger, and he dared to speak out.
Wu Zhaoyi snorted coldly, almost forgetting about this noble and righteous Di Renjie. But she had to admire Di Renjie's clear thinking, and she immediately discovered her plan to divert her attention and try to escape the crime. But in the final analysis, it is the emperor who has the final say, not Di Renjie. As for the emperor's shortcomings, Wu Zhaoyi is very appropriate.
I could only hear Wu Zhaoyi's cry, her voice was sad and pitiful, she raised her hand and wiped her red eyes with a handkerchief, sobbing and crying: "Your Majesty! The concubine is really suffering! It's obviously His Majesty's fault, and no one will believe the concubine's explanation! The reason why Lord Di blames the concubine so justifiably is not because the concubine is just a small Zhaoyi. If the concubine is the queen of the world, even if Lord Di is suspicious, he will not dare to say the concubine to his face! In the final analysis, it is the life of the concubine, and the concubine is blessed, just a little Zhaoyi. It's better for Your Majesty to give death to your concubines! Your Majesty is worry-free, and the Queen is also happy! Woo..."
When the emperor heard Wu Zhaoyi's cry, he glared at Di Renjie fiercely, and his stomach was furious: "Di Renjie, don't you have a brain?" I said it all, it's a misunderstanding! Don't cure Wu Zhaoyi's sins! What else are you here to instigate? Are you going to be my master? Why don't you come to sit on my country and teach me to be a man! ”
Di Renjie was so angry by this stinking scolding that he was very aggrieved: "Your Majesty, the minister is loyal!" For the stability of His Majesty's country, and for the tranquility of Heluo Sheji! The minister thinks he's right! If Your Majesty thinks that there is something wrong with the minister, the minister has nothing to say! ”
"Di Renjie! You are bold! Dare to talk back to me in public! I think you're trying to do it! Come on! Take Di Renjie down for me! The emperor waved his sleeves angrily and pointed at Di Renjie and roared. This Di Renjie is stubborn like a stone in a latrine, usually only the case in his eyes, but in front of his concubine, he actually collided with himself, and he didn't leave any face, the emperor was determined to teach Di Renjie a good lesson.
Di Renjie sneered, he only felt extremely cold. If it weren't for the Chang'an he wanted to protect and the people of Heluo that he cared about, he would no longer be willing to say a word to this foolish monarch. Because such a monarch is not worthy of his loyalty, and it is not worth his desperate service. Di Renjie didn't care whether the emperor would go to prison or kill him next, he only felt that his heart was cold.
"Oh, Your Majesty is so angry?" At this time, Ming Shiyin slowly walked out of the house with the appearance of a woman. He glanced at Wu Zhaoyi, who was honestly kneeling on the ground, and saw Di Renjie who was arrested, and knew what was going on.
Ming Shiyin felt that Di Renjie had always been honest and upright, and he appreciated Di Renjie's integrity, but integrity was not necessarily a good thing. For example, now, Di Renjie's loyalty and integrity have put Di Renjie himself in a dangerous situation.
"Why is Sister Wu Zhaoyi crying like this?" Ming Shiyin hurriedly walked over, bent down to make a concerned look, and then said coquettishly to the emperor: "Your Majesty doesn't pity the jade?" My sister cried like this and didn't scream, what happened? ”
"It's not all Di Renjie! Obviously, Wu Zhaoyi has already admitted his mistake and made it clear that he had misunderstood, but he still insisted on it, and he wanted to punish him! I think the one who deserves to be punished the most is this Di Renjie! Defiant! Guilty of trouble! The emperor made a merciless accusation.
Ming Shiyin deliberately made a surprised expression, he looked at Di Renjie with a very playful expression, Di Renjie felt ashamed in his heart at this moment. He was so loyal to the monarch that he had done all this desperately, but now he was being captured by the guards and turned into a criminal to be dealt with. He couldn't understand what it was like to be in his current mood. Maybe Ming Shiyin is right, so he shouldn't have gone through this troubled water. But if he doesn't care, Chang'an will be in chaos, and the innocent people of Chang'an who are suffering, he will be conflicted when he thinks of this.
"Your Majesty, I think Master Di is just a piece of wood, and he is not suitable to be an official at all! You see that along the way, he has made you angry a lot, or you will dismiss him, such a wooden man is out of sight, and he is not upset~ And others will not think that Your Majesty is too strict, after all, Lord Di's reputation is still okay, what do you think, Your Majesty? Ming Shiyin pursed his lips and smiled secretly, taking the opportunity to suggest to the emperor.
