Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Ministry of War
The investigation of the case is both a danger and an opportunity for Su Dawei.
Li Zhi pressed him by investigating the case before.
If the murderer can be found in this princess case, Li Zhi will have no reason to take back the actual position.
Su Dawei is equivalent to stepping into the actual official position from the fourth rank in one fell swoop.
This is, of course, a breakthrough.
Even if Li Zhi has the intention to suppress it, by that time, the "rope" tied to Su Dawei's body will gradually loosen.
……
Coming out of Daming Palace, Su Dawei took his horse and looked at Li Yifu and others who were in the carriage not far away, and cold sweat was faintly oozing from his back.
Just now in the Zichen Palace, under the calm surface, it was actually full of sword light and sword shadows.
Li Yifu was in trouble again, and wanted to dig a pit for him again.
Pei Lian wanted to find someone to take the blame with, while Li Yifu was full of malice.
At that time, no one knew whether Li Zhi would be angry because of the death of Princess Gaoyang, and if the Son of Heaven was angry, Su Dawei would definitely bear the brunt.
The power of heaven is unpredictable.
Fortunately, Li Zhi did not lose his mind because of anger, but just stuffed Su Dawei into Dali Temple and ordered him to solve the case with Pei Lian.
Crisis crisis, danger and opportunity coexist.
In the past, it is an opportunity.
If you can't get by, that's the scourge of killing.
"Su Shaoqing."
Pei Lian, the secretary of Dali Temple, strode towards Su Dawei and greeted him.
Although Li Zhicai issued an edict and had not yet issued a formal appointment to the Holy Decree, Pei Lian had already changed his tune to Su Dawei.
"I was in the palace just now, I had to ask Su Shaoqing to help, your ability to investigate the case, everyone in Chang'an knows it, this case, you are the last person to contact Princess Gaoyang, it is reasonable, Su Shaoqing should participate, please don't blame Shaoqing."
Pei Lian's attitude towards Su Dawei was very polite.
This politeness, I don't know if it is Wu Meiniang behind Su Dawei, or if I am afraid of Su Dawei's military background, or I want to ask Su Dawei to investigate the case carefully.
There is a way to reach out and not hit a smiling person.
Pei Lian lowered his posture like this, and Su Dawei couldn't continue to have a cold face, and hugged his fists to Pei Lian and said: "Siqing's words are serious, it's all for official business." ”
"What Su Shaoqing said is extremely true."
Pei Lian's eyes rolled, and he changed his words to Su Dawei: "Princess Gaoyang's case, I don't know where Shaoqing is going to start?" ”
"This case, like you, just heard about it, so I was summoned to the palace, and now I don't have a clue, is this case handled by Wannian County now? Did the dossier be sent to Dali Temple? Who is the on-site worker? What were the results? ”
Pei Lian opened his mouth, when it comes to political scheming, his level is not low.
But when it comes to this case, he is really blind now.
I had to smile bitterly: "What you asked, the official can't answer it now, when I return to Dali Temple, I will answer you, okay?" ”
"Okay, Siqing, please go first, I'll be there later."
"Okay, then I'll wait for Su Shaoqing in Dali Temple."
Pei Lian nodded to Su Dawei, and with the support of the attendants, he boarded the carriage and gradually moved away.
Su Dawei stood in the distance and thought for a moment.
Judging from the current situation in this case, Li Zhi will not give up if he does not find the murderer.
Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong waited to see what happened, and even deliberately added fuel to the fire and muddy the waters.
Pei Lian wanted to shake the pot.
Each has its own abacus.
Princess Gaoyang, a fallen princess who returned to Chang'an for the first time from the degraded Bazhou, has no power in Chang'an, and has no intersection with any forces, who did it?
What is the purpose and significance?
Su Dawei couldn't figure it out.
Shaking his head, he turned over and got on his horse, and was just about to catch up with Pei Lian and return to Dali Temple, when he suddenly heard someone calling for him.
He turned to look the way he came, and saw the eunuch Wang Fulai, who was trotting all the way out.
"Su Langjun, Su Langjun."
Su Dawei led the horse and stood on the side of the road, waiting for Wang Fulai to run in front of him breathlessly, watching him gasp there, wanting to say that he couldn't get up again.
"Don't worry, you wait until your breath is even."
Wang Fulai is also an old acquaintance, and he followed Wu Meiniang to become a monk in Ganye Temple, and more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye.
This eunuch is also gray-eyed now.
However, because he followed Wu Meiniang correctly, he is now very powerful, and he doesn't need to come out in person for idle things.
"Su Langjun."
Wang Fulai swept his eyes left and right, leaned closer, and whispered in Su Dawei's ear: "The queen asked Su Shuai when he was going to see her?" ”
Su Dawei groaned slightly: "After helping me return to the martial arts, Princess Gaoyang's case is very urgent, let me take care of business first, and then enter the palace to see her when this matter is over." ”
"Okay, Lang Jun's words, I will bring them to the queen."
A hint of surprise flashed in Wang Fulai's eyes, and he immediately covered it up well, and said to Su Dawei again: "Langjun, the queen said that if you don't want to see her now, don't forget your situation." ”
"Situation?"
"Many things, the queen can't help herself."
"I see."
Su Dawei bowed his hand to Wang Fulai and said, "Tell my sister for me, and I'll say that Ami knows." ”
Wang Fulai bowed slightly towards Su Dawei and took a few steps back.
watched Su Dawei turn over and get on the horse and leave in the dust.
From the last case, after Su Dawei was sent by Li Zhi to Chang'an County to continue to be a bad handsome, Su Dawei did not enter the palace again and asked to see Wu Mei alone.
One is to avoid suspicion.
Second, the last incident was all because of Helan Minzhi and Guo Xingzhen around Wu Mei.
With Wu Meiniang's cleverness, how can she not know the ins and outs?
Su Dawei was using this way to tell Sister Mei Niang that he was not happy.
Wu Meiniang knows his character, and he doesn't like to provoke right and wrong.
Especially what others have imposed on him.
He endured it this time, but what about next time?
If Helan Minzhi and Guo Xingzhen, as well as Li Yifu, still want to drag him into the whirlpool, then he will not be patient anymore.
In fact, Li Yifu opened his mouth and asked Su Dawei to try Princess Gaoyang's case with Pei Lian.
Su Dawei's heart has already moved a murderous intent.
He is not a minister of peace, and his current military exploits are all exchanged for a knife and a gun.
The methods used by Li Yifu, he is not blind.
Whether it is suppressing Li Zhi or for other reasons.
came to provoke three times and twice, which has already touched Su Dawei's reverse scales.
The best way to stay out of trouble is to get rid of the people who are causing it.
Riding on the war horse, Su Dawei's eyes flashed.
I thought a lot.
Fang Cai Wang Fu's words were also very interesting, relaying Wu Meiniang's words, so that Su Dawei should not forget his situation.
What kind of situation are you in?
Because he has the chrome mark of Wu Meiniang's party on his body, he is deeply jealous and wary of Li Zhi?
Or is it that if you sail against the current, you will have new dangers?
In short, everything that has been done lately is a sign of danger.
Su Dawei has been in the army for a long time, and he has an inexplicable intuition about the crisis.
In his heart, there was a faint feeling reminding him.
Danger is approaching you.
If it's still the same as before, I'm afraid that it will be capsized by huge waves.
……
Daming Palace is located outside the north of Chang'an City, north of the Royal Forbidden Garden, the shore of Weishui, south of Chang'an City North Guo, west of the northeast corner of the palace city.
A symbol of the dragon vein of the mountain from the southwest of Chang'an Fan Chuan to the north, across sixty miles, to here, just "dragon head", because of the high terrain, people called the dragon head.
The dragon head was originally the place of the 39 shooting in the north of the Sui Daxing city, and there was the Guande Hall in it, which was the place where the shooting salute was held, and the Tang Dynasty attacked this function.
Danfeng Gate is the south gate of the main gate of Daming Palace, in front of the door is the Danfeng Gate Street that is 176 meters wide, the north of Danfeng Gate is the north of Hanyuan Palace, Xuanzheng Palace, Zichen Palace, Penglai Palace, Hanliang Palace, Xuanwu Palace, etc.
Hanyuan Palace, Xuanzheng Palace, Zichen Hall are the three major halls of Daming Palace, and the main hall is Hanyuan Palace.
There are two provinces of Chinese books and doors on the left and right of the Xuanzheng Palace, as well as two museums of Hongwen and Hongshi.
On the east and west sides of the axis, there is a longitudinal street each, which is formed by opening side doors on three horizontal palace walls.
Su Dawei came out of Danfeng Gate, and on the left and right were Guangzhai Fang and Yishan Fang.
He had to pass through Laitingfang and Yongchangfang, and enter the Taiji Palace from Chengtianmen.
Since Li Zhi moved into the Daming Palace, the officials and yamen of the original three provinces and six ministries have also begun to move one after another.
According to the plan, the three provinces will be located near the Xuanzheng Hall of Taiji Palace.
At present, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province have generally moved to Daming Palace.
Only Shangshu Province, which is in charge of the six ministries, has not yet been completely relocated because of the large number of yamen institutions below.
Six of the yamen are mainly located near the Chengtian Gate and the Jiade Gate.
What Su Dawei is looking for now is six.
He originally wanted to go directly to Dali Temple, or even to the Criminal Department, no matter how bad it was, he would go to Wannian County to inquire about Princess Gaoyang's case.
But after talking to Wang Fulai, he changed his mind.
The yamen he was looking for was the military department of the six departments under Shangshu Province.
Li Zhichao's military department was Cui Dunli in the early stage, but this duke was removed after Li Zhi took sole power because he was from the Boling Cui clan.
The later secretary of the military department was Ren Yaxiang.
Ren Yaxiang served as the protector of Yanran in his early years, followed Su Dingfang to pacify the Turkic Shabaluo Khan, and later served as the secretary of the military department.
Xianqing paid homage to the prime minister for four years, and awarded the three products under the same Chinese book.
After only two years in power, he served as the commander of the march of the Hungang Province to conquer Goguryeo.
Long Shuo died in the army in the second year.
Li Zhi posthumously presented him as the governor of Jingzhou, and gave him the title of respect.
After Ren Yaxiang, it was the British Duke Li Tao who served as the secretary of the military department.
However, after Li Tao conquered Goguryeo, Li Zhi changed the appointment of someone else as the secretary of the military department on the grounds that the secretary of the military department could not be left empty forever.
At first, Li Zhi remembered to use the famous general Cheng Mingzhen.
But Cheng Mingzhen also died in the second year of Longshuo.
The imperial court posthumously presented the general of the right guard, and his nickname was "Lie".
The next candidate for Lee Zhi to consider is Jung In-tae.
In terms of the generals of the DPRK and China, few are still alive and have older qualifications than Zheng Rentai.
As early as when Li Shimin raised troops in Jinyang, Zheng Rentai took refuge in Li Shimin, the king of Qin.
During the Wude period, he was ordered to guard the Changchun Palace and participated in the unification war that eliminated Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang, Wang Shichong, and Dou Jiande.
In the ninth year of Wude, he participated in the Xuanwumen Change, awarded the guerrilla general, and returned to the government to unify the army.
During the Zhenguan period, he moved to the left Wei Yi and the middle of the house, and the palace was safe.
Released the general Zhongwu and the deputy chief of the Shengzhou Road march to guard against the Turks.
Participated in the attack on Goguryeo, and awarded the title of Pillar State, General of Zuotunwei, and Duke of Tong'an County.
In the fourth year of Yonghui, he was awarded the doctor of Yinqing Guanglu and the governor of Lingyan Prefecture, and was stationed in the western frontier.
In the second year of Xianqing, he became the general of the right military guard.
He led Xue Rengui to level the nine divisions of Tiele, resisted the Western Turkic Khan Ashina Helu, granted the governor of Liangzhou, and responded to the Tuyuhun Murong Nuo bowl to guard against Tibet.
Li Zhi originally had the intention to transfer him back to the dynasty and take charge of the military department.
However, the war on the Western Front suddenly became tense, and the imperial court could only order him to continue to serve as the assassin of Liangzhou and the military governor of the six states of Liang, Gansu and Iguasha.
Three years in Longshuo, that is, last year.
Zheng Rentai was in the official house, at the age of sixty-three, posthumously presented to the governor of the state, nicknamed Xiang, and was buried in Zhaoling.
There were two spare candidates in a row, but they were all gone.
This made Li Zhi very depressed.
