Chapter 276: Letter from the Dead
At night, Di Renjie, who was full of sorrow, couldn't sleep anything, wearing a cotton robe, standing in front of the window, watching the shadows of the trees on the window swaying with the wind, and his heart couldn't be calm for a long time!
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and after a while, someone knocked on Di Renjie's door!
"Sir! Master! "It's Di Chun's voice!
Di Renjie opened the door, Di Chun walked in, bowed down and said, "Master, there was a person in the garden just now, he said that he came from the gods, and he had something important to ask to see the master!" ”
"Oh? Are the gods coming? Let's go, let's see! With that, Di Renjie got dressed and followed Di Chun to the front hall of Suiyuan, where he saw the person who came from the gods!
"The villain knocks on the elder!" When the visitor saw Di Renjie coming, he hurriedly knelt on the ground to salute!
Di Renjie raised his hand and said, "Get up and speak!" Are you from God? ”
The person replied: "Hui Ge Lao, yes! The villain Dong Cheng is the companion of the prince Wu Tingji, presumably at this time the elder already knows about the prince and King Shao, right? The prince ordered the villain to bring a letter to the elder of the pavilion, which was left to the villain two months ago, when the prince told the villain that if something happened to him, let the villain give the letter to the elder of the pavilion! ”
Di Renjie was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Where is the letter?" ”
Dong Cheng took out a letter from his arms and presented it to Di Renjie, after Di Renjie finished reading it, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm and said to Dong Cheng: "Dong Cheng, the prince confessed in the letter, this pavilion received this letter, and the person who sent the letter can no longer return to Shendu, the prince asked me to get you some silver taels, so that you can make a living on your own, so let's do it, Di Chun, give this Dong Cheng brother two hundred taels of silver!" ”
"Yes!" Di Chun answered!
Di Renjie continued: "Dong Cheng, you are loyal to the Lord, your heart is commendable, if you need anything in the future, you can go to the Pavilion Mansion for help!" ”
"Thank you, Elder Ge! Pavilion Elder, the villain still has one more thing to ask for, and Wanwang Pavilion Elder answers! Dong Cheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed!
Di Renjie hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Dong Cheng up, and said kindly: "What's the matter, just open your mouth, this pavilion should do its best to help!" ”
Dong Cheng suddenly shed tears with a sad expression, Di Renjie couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene, and hurriedly comforted: "Dong Cheng, don't cry first, just say something to this pavilion!" ”
Dong Cheng wiped a handful of tears and sobbed: "Pavilion Elder, the prince and the county lord of Yongtai and King Shao, they died unjustly, they just talked about Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong's power and government
, Not intentionally aimed at His Majesty, who knew that their conversation was heard by the wife of Li Chongfu, the king of the county, this Wang is Zhang Yizhi's niece, so this Zhang Yizhi framed King Shao and the prince in front of His Majesty, and what is even more infuriating is the King of Wei Wu Chenghei, the villain once begged him for this matter and asked him to come forward to save him, but this Wu Chengsi didn't miss the love of father and son at all, and asked the elder to uphold justice for the prince! ”
When Di Renjie heard Dong Cheng's words, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and he was silent for a long time, Di Renjie said: "Dong Cheng, don't worry, this matter has been recorded by the Cabinet, and after the Cabinet returns to Beijing, he will uphold justice for them, but you must not mention this matter to others again in the future, be careful of causing death!" ”
Dong Cheng thanked him, Di Renjie nodded, and Di Chun withdrew from the front hall with Dong Cheng!
Di Renjie put the letter away, turned around and returned to the study, he was already a little bored, but at this time, it was like pressing a boulder!
Di Chun walked into the study at this time and saluted Di Renjie: "Master, the person has been sent away!" ”
Di Renjie nodded and said, "Di Chun, go and call Yuan Fang!" ”
Di Chun answered, turned around and walked out of the study, it didn't take much time, Di Chun took Li Yuanfang back to the study!
"My lord, are you looking for me?" Li Yuanfang bowed down and asked!
Di Renjie nodded and said, "Yuan Fang, do you remember that not long after we left Shendu, there was a shocking murder in Shendu?" ”
Li Yuanfang was slightly stunned and asked, "My lord, are you talking about the murder case of the daughter of King Changping, the assassination of the county lord of Anle?" Why did the adults suddenly ask about this? ”
Di Renjie twisted his hair and said, "Hmm! Do you remember who this husband of the county lord of Anle is? ”
Li Yuanfang couldn't help but be taken aback, and said nervously: "It's Wu Tingji, the son of King Wei!" ”
Di Renjie nodded, handed the letter he had just received to Li Yuanfang from the bookcase, and said, "Yuanfang, look at this, this is what I just received!" ”
Li Yuanfang opened the envelope suspiciously, took out the letter and read it quickly, and couldn't help but be surprised!
"This ......" Li Yuanfang looked at Di Renjie with a puzzled face!
Di Renjie said slowly: "When this murder happened at the beginning, I had some doubts that I could blatantly assassinate the emperor's relatives at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who had such courage, and now it seems that this assassination seems to have other intentions!" Wu Tingji, the prince of the world, said in the letter that although the corpse had no head and could not be identified, the ring on the corpse's hand was indeed his martial artist
It is precisely this ring that makes Wu Tingji sure that this person is definitely not the Lord of Anle, because this ring has been worn on the hand of the Lord of Anle County before, and this ring will leave traces on the hand over the years, when Wu Tingji found the corpse, although the ring was worn on the corpse's hand, but there were no traces on the fingers of the corpse, obviously it had just been put on! ”
Li Yuanfang nodded, and asked puzzledly: "My lord, then this Anle County Lord must not be dead, so what is the purpose of planning this assassination?" ”
Di Renjie twisted his hair and said: "I think that the person who planned this assassination is the county lord of Anle himself, and the reason why she acted like this is naturally because of her intentions, and according to my speculation, her intention is probably to fade out of people's sight, and then she can smoothly implement some of her own plans, and this kind of plan should be related to the long-cherished wish of most of the Li Tang clansmen, that is, to rejuvenate the Tang Dynasty and oppose the armed forces, and the assassination can also make her naturally avoid the internal guards with developed intelligence networks, I have to say, What a clever move she made! ”
Li Yuanfang pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that this Wu Tingji seems to have a premonition that something will happen to him, so he made this preparation!" ”
Di Renjie nodded and said with emotion: "Judging from this letter, Wu Tingji seems to have been very supportive of Wu Chenghe's seizure of the heir, I think this is the reason why Wu Chengji didn't save him when he saw death, right?" ”
Li Yuanfang smiled helplessly and said, "My own son can be abandoned without pity, even if he becomes the prince, what can he do?" ”
Di Renjie shook his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid that even if this Wu Chengji abandons his son, he may not be able to get his wish!" ”
Li Yuanfang was stunned and asked, "My lord, why did you say that?" ”
Di Renjie picked up the letter, pointed to a paragraph in the letter, and said: "Yuan Fang, you see, Wu Tingji said in the letter that a husband is confused, an artifact is changed, and the country is killed, which is the same!" ”
Li Yuanfang asked with some confusion: "My lord, what do these words mean?" ”
Di Renjie stroked his long hair with deep meaning, and said: "These words are from Sima Zhen, a scholar of Hongwen Pavilion, and they are his evaluation of Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty. ”
Li Yuanfang suddenly said: "My lord, I understand, Wu Tingji is saying that Wu Chengji is also bewitched?" ”
Di Renjie stroked his long hair lightly and smiled silently!
