Section 150 Building the Tang Dynasty (20)

"It was the people of Liu Temple in the palace who asked me to do it!" The people of Yang Temple confessed.

"Which Liu Temple person?" Zhang Ren was willing to ask.

"It's Deputy Chief Liu of Shangshan Supervisor!" The people of Yang Temple tell his identity.

Zhang Renyuan didn't know this person, but it was difficult for him, he had a very complete intelligence network, and he quickly found out that this person was a distant relative of the late Concubine Liu of the East Palace!

Liu Siren did have a motive to murder Wu Zetian, and there is an allusion involved here.

In the second year of longevity (693 AD), Wu Zetian's favorite maid Wei Tuan'er thought that the crown prince Li Dan had a great future, so he wanted to seduce him and seek power after becoming his roommate.

But how dare Li Dan accept the offer, if the matter is revealed, a charge of "insulting the mother and maid with silver" is enough to make him unable to eat and walk around (see Baoyu in the Dream of Red Mansions got the maid and the maid committed suicide, Baoyu was beaten half to death, if it wasn't for Jia's mother to save her, she would have been almost killed).

Surely the crown prince's position is not guaranteed!

So Li Dan rejected her, and Wei Tuan'er was ashamed and angry, falsely accused Li Dan of rebellion, and cursed Wu Zetian with witchcraft by the palace concubine.

Wei Tuan'er has great powers, and buried witch things in the East Palace in advance, and Wu Zetian sent someone to check and find out.

The matter was serious, she let her son go, and summoned her son's two favorite concubines, Liu and Dou, into the palace to kill them.

Li Dan, who was soft-packed, didn't even dare to snort, and passed as if nothing happened.

……

Liu Siren, who instructed the people of Yang Temple, was the family of the late Concubine Liu, and he did have a motive to harm Wu Zetian, as for whether it was from Li Dan's instigation, Zhang Renyuan did not speculate, thinking that after returning to the Shendu, he confronted the people of Liu Temple, so he confessed to the people of Yang Temple and sent them to the imperial front.

"This Yang Temple person is a good gambler, and he owes a large amount of gambling debts and can't repay it, so he stole the palace royal goods and went out to sell them, caught the handle for Liu Siren, and forced him to write a self-confession, so as to coerce him to poison His Majesty!" Zhang Ren is willing to tell the truth about the matter.

Wu Zetian was poisoned, and the matter was extremely serious, and the magnates, including the Zhang brothers, the Wu Party, the Li Party, and the Feng Party, came to observe.

"The people of Yang Temple also prepare poison to commit suicide in case things don't go well! ......," Zhang Renyuan pointed out.

As soon as he talked about suicide, someone reported that the two temple people in charge of the inspection in the imperial dining room both committed suicide!

One strangles, the other cuts the veins, and things are getting more and more confusing!

"The old minister thinks that the two temple people are part of the conspiracy, and when they see that things are corrupt, they immediately commit suicide, for the sake of today, one is to track down who they have contacted before, and the other is to make a detailed investigation after returning to the gods!" Di Renjie said.

He served in Dali Temple, proficient in criminal names, and spoke powerfully, and Wu Zetian adopted it: "The two Qing families are both old and serious, according to what the two Qing families said, this is the end!" “

The matter came to an end for the time being, and many questions had to be asked again to come back to their senses, and the martial party people sighed regretfully.

Someone wanted to murder Wu Zetian, and he almost succeeded!

If this case falls into the hands of the martial arts, they use cool official methods, bite everywhere, I don't know how many heads can be harmed, they take the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune, how can they be like Zhang Renyuan, who is stupid, just ask.

Yao Chong and Di Renjie left the palace together, and when they talked about the performance of the martial party members as listless, Di Renjie felt very funny: "They feel very sorry, you see a few martial party people who want to cry!" ”

Yao Chong said indifferently: "I don't look at how the people of the Xifu Western Army are progressing, relying on fighting the world, central administration and governing the local government, with the Xifu Western Army's 'tolerance to talk about the country, hard work to prosper the country', as long as you are willing to work, there will definitely be a reward, there is no need to use this sneaky trick that your conscience can't get by." ”

Di Renjie was surprised: "Rong talks about misleading the country, and hard work prospers the country' Have you also noticed this slogan?" ”

"Drawing such a big slogan, sticking it everywhere, how can you not notice it! I heard that it was proposed by the horse, and the Western Army of Xifu also carried it out in this way. Yao Chong said with deep emotion.

"Gong Yao seems to be very appreciative of the Western Army of Xifu!" Di Renjie is meaningful.

"It cannot be denied what the Western Army of Xifu has done! The army has been winning battles, laying down a large area of the country, the people are rich, and the support for the Western Army of Xifu is very high! Yao Chong told the truth, and the topic changed: "The government... In fact, it's quite mediocre, what kind of identity does Wu Sansi have, he actually gave two hairy boys (two) to lead the horse, he doesn't have a face, I still want a face, I'm ashamed to be with him. Look at the people of the Western Army in Xifu, everyone is holding their heads up and holding their chests high, don't you see that once Zhang Renyuan saw two of them come out and rushed straight through, his subordinates were fierce, and the two made way for him! ”

"The two cried to Wu Zetian, I was there to listen, but Wu Zetian taught them a lesson, 'Indeed, all of you are Guogong, but how many people did his Guogong kill, can you compare with him?' If you kill more people than him, I will punish Zhang Renyuan'!" Two were speechless! ”

"There is such a thing!" Di Renjie has never heard of it, he has a super good relationship with Yao Chong, but they can be kept secret.

Yao Chong's official position is at the level of a squire, but he is a ministerial-level official, he has the ability, he has his pride, and he looks down on the courtiers.

But even Wu Sansi and the prime minister's respect had to give in to each other, although Yao Chong said that he was different from Wu Sansidao, Wu Sansi was shameless and lost the face of civil officials.

Not only Di Yao and the others, as long as there is a little self-esteem among the civil and military officials, they can't get used to the behavior of Wu Sansi and a group of flattering people.

You must know that the golden and purple ministers of the imperial court, the close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and Emperor Zuo are in charge of the court, what a majesty!

Wu Sansi and others don't want to lose face, they still want to save face!

But in the political situation of Shendu, they have to clamp their tails and be people, and they are submissive to the two Zhang and the martial arts, but no one wants to be a dog!

In fact, Wu Sansi wants to be a dog! But for the sake of the big position, I hope that the two of them will say good things for him in front of Wu Zetian, so I can only endure it.

In this Western Tour, the military and political system of the Western Army of Xifu has given everyone a novelty, it turns out that they can really stand up/chest and be a man!

In the exchange with the officials of the Western Army in Xifu, I knew that Wei Xi and Princess Taiping had great respect for the military and political officials, such as Princess Taiping had a "cabinet", and selected "scholars" as cabinet members to review the documents first, and Princess Taiping called them "Mr."!

And Wei Xi issued a military order requiring a countersignature from the "General Staff", otherwise it would not be legal! (The same goes for the Cabinet)

It is reported that the two male mothers rarely undermine the system, and there are rumors in the officialdom that some officials are admonishing like Wei Zheng, and the two male and female are like Tang Taizong. (In fact, the main example is Wei Xi's two mothers-in-law who put gold on their faces and brag about themselves)

If you are not afraid of being poor, you are afraid of comparison, and you will know everything.

The officials who participated in the Western Tour saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts, and when they returned to the Shendu, what they saw and heard during the Western Tour was spread.

Things are fermenting, and people's hearts are changing.
