Chapter 143: How to reward Cui Geng
In fact, Wei Fangzhi and Su Liangsi not only have no grudges or grudges, but also have the same interests.
The reason why he wanted to involve Su Liangsi was actually very simple. Because Wei Fangzhi is not a tough guy at all, the little leather whip screams and hurts when he is whipped, and he can't bear the torture at all. There is also Wei Fangzhen, an old man, since he pretended to be forced to be imprisoned, his heart has been unbalanced, always thinking that he and Su Liang are the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, why am I in prison and I am about to be beheaded, but you continue to sit in the position of prime minister in the political hall? Come on, let's share the blessings and the hardships.
So, after a severe torture, Wei Fangzhen was beaten into a confession and said, yes, I just want to rebel, and it was discussed with Su Liangsi in the secret room on a certain day, a certain year, a certain month.
After saying a few words, it really hurt others and oneself, and even the last bit of face of the scholar was gone.
Zhou Xing was overjoyed when he saw the confession, where would he care about the authenticity of the confession, and immediately took this confession to Wu Zetian.
However, Wu Zetian was embarrassed as soon as he saw this confession.
The feeling of fighting the world and sitting in the world is very different.
It turned out that she was the regent of the Queen Mother, and she was extremely unconfident in her heart, of course, she was ruthless and killed. Now that he is the emperor, his mentality has changed, and the desire to maintain the stability of the court has prevailed, and he does not want to kill so many people and make people panic.
Moreover, can a prime minister's rebellion be explained by the fact that this person is mad, and two prime ministers are also mad? Wu Zetian now has a total of five prime ministers, Wu Sansi, Wu Chengsi, Di Renjie, Wei Fangzhen and Su Liangsi.
Remove the Wu family, and more than half of the prime ministers want to rebel? Then she Wu Zetian declared that she was "obedient to the people" to ascend the throne, didn't it become a joke?
There is another reason that makes Wu Zetian reluctant to deal with Su Liangsi, that is, the two of them had a little holiday before.
At that time, Wu Zetian was still the queen mother, and there was a male pet named Xue Huaiyi. This person relied on Wu Zetian's favor and was very arrogant, but Su Liangsi caught a mistake and slapped him in public a few times.
At that time, for the sake of a good reputation, Wu Zetian not only did not dispose of Su Liangsi, but also reprimanded Xue Huaiyi.
Now that he has just taken over Li Tang and disposed of Su Lianghei, will the world's officials think that the old lady is counterattacking? Haven't the historians made a hard note?
And a few days ago, Su Liangsi knew that he didn't deal with him, so he had already taken the initiative to resign as Prime Minister Wenchang, just serving as a Tongfeng Pavilion Luantai Sanpin. That is to say, he only enjoys the treatment of the prime minister and does not hold the post of prime minister. It is convenient to read the documents, but there is no right to approve the documents.
At this time, if you kill them all, what will the Manchu courtiers think?
Therefore, after Wu Zetian weighed it, he decided that it was not a last resort, even if Su Liangsi really had the intention of rebellion, he could not kill him at this time!
But if she doesn't kill, she doesn't want to kill her, but she doesn't want to dampen the enthusiasm of the cool official Zhou Xing. Otherwise, who will give her a small report in the future?
In a dilemma, she took this matter to the Golden Palace and said, the evidence is such evidence, you Aiqing, let's discuss it, do you want to arrest Su Liangsi for the first trial?
Di Renjie naturally wanted to protect Su Lianghe, an old minister of Li Tang, and said on the spot, such a big thing, how can a single confession be counted? Isolated evidence does not stand.
Zhou Xing stopped doing it at that time, saying that there was such a thing as rebellion, who could still spread it all over the world? Even if there is a confession, it is good, could it be that Di Xiang sympathizes with the thief?
It's good to use his ability to beat a rake on others, but it's really tickling to use it on Di Renjie, who doesn't know that Di Xiang is now in the emperor's heart, and when the Empress Wu didn't ascend to Dabao, he was a minister?
Sure enough, Di Renjie was also-for-tat when he heard this, and scolded Zhou Xingdao, who doesn't know that what your surname Zhou is best at is framing, this kind of confession is a fart, I can give you as much as you want. Otherwise, you don't have to worry about this case and leave it to me for trial? If you want to judge the case, in front of someone Di, are you an egg?
On this kind of professional issue, of course Zhou Xing didn't dare to be serious with Di Renjie, so he changed the topic and said, I haven't heard that the prime minister still has to try the case. You are not in his position, you are not in power. If I don't try it, do you want Suo Yuanli to try it?
In this way, the two sides quarreled for a long time, but they did not distinguish the winner.
In the end, Di Renjie's heart moved, remembering the incident last night, is there something to be used for this matter?
So, he rushed to Wu Zetian like a crazy man, and shouted: "Weichen congratulates Your Majesty, congratulations Your Majesty!" ”
Wu Zetian was a little stunned by him, and asked casually, "Where did I come from?" ”
Di Renjie said: "A month ago, there was a great friend of the king of the Wa, who led more than 1,000 troops to cross the sea, first attacking Tonggang and then attacking Quanzhou City. This is my unprecedented victory, and I congratulate the world! Congratulations to the Great Zhou! Congratulations, Your Majesty! ”
In order to avoid Wu Sanzhong's obstruction, Shen Tuo and others took Chen Sanhe and the prince of Dayou into Beijing completely secretly this time. Therefore, not only Wu Zetian didn't know about this matter, but no one except Di Renjie knew about it.
Di Renjie's words startled a thousand waves, and everyone's faces were full of incredulity, and the entire Jinluan Hall fell silent inexplicably.
Actually arrested the king of the Japanese without a sound?
Or is it just a state capital's Governor's Mansion? How did I not know that our Da Zhou was so awesome?
The silence lasted for less than a moment, and in an instant, the entire Jinluan Hall was boiling, and the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty asked Di Renjie what was going on.
According to the rules of the imperial court, the court naturally cannot make noise, and some imperial historians have already taken out a small account book and brushed a little bit, preparing to impeach some people for failing to honor before the monarch.
However, when Wu Zetian heard the good news, he smiled from ear to ear, waved his hand, and signaled to the officials that they didn't have to care.
Yes, after a few months of changing the dynasty, after such a long period of bloody rain, the court also needs to be relaxed.
After nearly a moment of chaos, the Jinluan Hall gradually quieted down.
Di Renjie immediately talked about the process of Cui Geng's rebellion.
However, from this version of his mouth, the protagonist of this rebellion is no longer Cui Geng, but the master Chen Sanhe, what five major spells, calling the wind and rain and scattering beans into soldiers, thunder in the palm of his hand, speaking vividly and vividly, as if he had experienced it himself.
In his introduction, it was thanks to Chen Sanhe who was influenced by Cui Geng, was intimidated by His Majesty's virtue, and abandoned the darkness to the light, that the official army had such great results.
Di Renjie said with foaming at the mouth, and the civil and military ministers nodded in agreement, and Su Lianghe's attention to the rebellion was quickly diverted.
Suddenly, an ominous premonition surged into Zhou Xing's heart, and he couldn't help but hurriedly interrupt: "Di Xiang, you have said so much, what does it have to do with the case of Su Liangsi's rebellion that we are talking about today?" ”
Di Renjie said: "Of course it's related. In the case of Su Lao Xiangye, there is only Wei Fangzhen's confession, how can he serve the world? But with this confession, it is not appropriate to acquit him. Therefore, the official thinks that Chen Sanhe, who has great magical powers, should be counted as a hexagram to see if this matter is true. ”
"Let Chen Sanhe tell the fortune?"
Zhou Xing couldn't believe his ears, he mistakenly thought that he had heard it wrong, so he couldn't help but laugh dryly, and said disdainfully: "Let the Jianghu warlock come to the court to discuss politics and judge whether a country is guilty or not, is it that the lower officials will have the wrong mind when they hear the wrong words, or is Di Xiang confused?" Hehe, this is too child's play! ”
Di Renjie didn't feel child's play, and said very seriously: "This case is confusing, the evidence seems to be there but it is insufficient, and it is difficult to judge!" Your Majesty is endowed with wisdom, it is better to let Your Majesty dictatorship, what does Lord Zhou think? ”
It's all good for you Di Renjie to say, what else can Zhou Xing say? Can't you say no?
With his Zhou Xingtian's great courage, it can't be said that Wu Zetian doesn't have the power to dictate the gang, right? Zhou Xing immediately patted his ass and said: "Your Majesty is naturally God-endowed wise, the first person to come and go in ancient and modern times, according to what Di Xiang said!" ”
This is the difference between Di Renjie and Zhou Xing.
Why is Di Renjie Jane in Emperor Heart? Because he understands the mind of the martial arts better than Zhou Xing.
He knew where Empress Wu wanted to take the opportunity to kill Su Liangsi, but wanted to find a suitable reason not to kill Su Liangsi at this sensitive stage.
And what about Zhou Xinglai's first-class Junchen? I can't figure out the holy will at all, thinking that framing a few more ministers and killing a few ministers who oppose her for Empress Wu is to cater to ~ the holy will. You must not know that patting the beard and walking the horse and figuring out the holy will are two different realms.
Therefore, Di Renjie is a good minister comparable to a humerus in the mind of the Empress Wu, and he is of great use to do great things. And what about Zhou Xinglai Junchen and his ilk? With the heart and means of the martial queen, it is a pity to throw it away, but it is a fantasy to want to lean on the humerus. These people are the night pot of the Empress Wu to consolidate the new imperial power, take it out when you can use it, and kick it under the bed when you don't need it.
Sure enough, as soon as Di Renjie finished speaking, the corners of Empress Wu's mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile that ordinary people couldn't detect.
Immediately afterwards, Di Renjie said very cooperatively, since Chen Sanhe has made such a special contribution, can His Majesty make an exception to summon him?
Sure enough, something will happen, and the Empress Wu is praised from the bottom of her heart!
She even summoned the people who complained, what is wrong with this, and if she wants to solve the embarrassment of Su Liang's case, she must divert her attention and see this group of people first, so she nodded in agreement.
In the end, Di Renjie added another sentence, Regarding Su Liangsi's case, if His Majesty finds it difficult to decide, he can listen to Chen Sanhe's opinion.
In this way, the suggestion is still the original suggestion, but it will not damage the dignity of the imperial court, because since Empress Wu summoned Chen Sanhe, then this guy is not an ordinary warlock, but a hero who captured the king of the Great Zhou. Even if it's a warlock, it's a royal warlock, isn't it? If you want to put it in the Ming Dynasty in the future, this is the treatment of the national teacher!
Well, Di Renjie is awesome, Zhou Xing is helpless, and he is convinced!
Wu Zetian didn't want to kill Su Liangsi to impact the newly won throne, but seeing that Di Renjie helped her pave the steps at such an opportune time, he immediately issued an order, saying that the court would summon Chen Sanhe and Shen Tuo on the Jinluan Palace tomorrow morning.
Zhou Xing had been planning for a long time, and a secret battle under the shadow of the sword was actually resolved by Di Renjie in three or two blows, so angry that he almost didn't go up to tear up with Di Renjie after going down to court!
……
The next day, the morning dynasty.
On the Jinluan Palace, Wu Cheng really summoned Chen Sanhe and Shen Tuo, the great heroes who captured the king of the Manchu Dynasty, in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
Shen Tuo, the Empress Wu is naturally no stranger, this is the martial arts she chose with her own hands! Now that he has entered Beijing because of his merits and entered the court, the Empress Wu is naturally pleased, and he has to be encouraged.
Then, Empress Wu met the "first meritorious minister" who captured the king of the Japanese - Chen Sanhe.
As for this Jianghu warlock Chen Sanhe, he is really a "talent"!
He arrived at the Jinluan Hall without stage fright, and frightened the courtiers present, and many people regarded him as a real immortal.
Although Wu Zetian knew that some of the words were false, and Di Renjie deliberately instigated him, he also deliberately ignored them, and quickly cleared Su Lianghe's injustice.
However, in the final analysis, capturing the Wa King who committed the crime and causing trouble was indeed an exciting and uplifting thing for the Great Zhou Dynasty that had just taken over the world of Li Tang. If you have to be a martial artist, you have to reward it.
Di Renjie was recommended for meritorious service, and was crowned a right-wing political envoy by Wu Zetian.
As for Feng Pu, Cui Geng, Shen Tuo, and even Chen Sanhe and others, although they were meritorious, their ranks were too low to be discussed in the court, so she ordered Yousi to be promoted according to the law.
This dramatically changed the course of history.
If Cui Geng hadn't experienced that "ridiculous dream", Su Liangsi was framed by Zhou Xing and went to prison, and the old man was eighty-four, how could he stand this?
In history, although Wu Zetian finally opened the net and kept him innocent under pressure, Su Liangsi died when he went back that night after thanking him in the Golden Palace.
Some people say that he died of illness, and some people say that he was scared to death, but in any case, it has nothing to do with this prison disaster.
And now that Old Master Su has been spared from prison, he naturally doesn't have to die.
Comrade Lao Su is the leader of the upright ministers of the DPRK and China, and although everyone does not know that Cui Geng saved his life, it is always a fact that he has indirectly done a great favor.
Therefore, although Cui Erlang did not enter Chang'an City, he would be secretly noticed by the court ministers of Li Tang because of fate, which was also an opportunity for Cui Geng.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages, because they were noticed by the ministers of the Li Tang family, they naturally offended Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi, the two prime ministers of the martial family.
Although the two of them don't look down on Wu Liangju, but the rabbit dies and the fox hurts them, and their impression of Cui Geng is not good. There is also the Cool Officials Group, all of whom are the masters who must repay each other, and they naturally hate Cui Geng.
Shen Tuo was grateful to Cui Geng for giving up the Qilin at the beginning, and when he got out of the Golden Palace, he couldn't wait to catch up with Di Renjie, and said: "This time, thanks to Di Xiangbao's promotion of us, we have been rewarded for our merits, but what can Cui Erlang do?" Wu Sanzhong covered the sky in Lingnan Road, and he would definitely blame Cui Erlang for Wu Liangju's death. Even if he is promoted, he can't escape from Wu Sanzhong's palm! Xia Guan has a reluctant request, and I hope that Di Xiang will put some effort into moving Cui Erlang to another place, how about it? ”
"What ...... this?"
Di Renjie pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Today in the court, when Your Majesty was promoted to a reward, you also saw that the two prime ministers of the two martial arts in the political hall came forward to obstruct it many times, deliberately suppressing the reward. This time in Quanzhou Port, Chen Sanhe should remember the first merit, and according to Cui Erlang's merits, he was promoted to the sixth grade of the Cheng Lang or the sixth grade of the court, which is already the top of the sky. This rank is neither high nor low, even if he is allowed to be an official in other state capitals, it is inevitable that some people will make it difficult for him in order to curry favor with the martial arts! ”
Shen Tuo chuckled in his heart when he heard this, and he was really anxious for Cui Geng from the bottom of his heart: "What should I do then?" Di Xiang, Wu Liangju's death was really just an accident, and Di Xiang didn't know what Wu Liangju did in Quanzhou Mansion, alas...... My Erlang brother was really implicated this time, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid that Xia Guan and Feng Tingshi and others would ......"
"Alright, Lord Shen...... What is the specific situation on your side, Feng Tingshi made it very clear to Benxiang in the letter, and Benxiang understands. Di Renjie waved his hand to stop Shen Tuo's urgent words, muttered slightly, lowered his head solemnly, and said: "Okay, it's not the first time I've heard the name of Cui Erlang, in the past, Zhang Khan Zhi recommended imperial wine for him, which was Benxiang's help." Let's just read that he was crooked and saved Prime Minister Su's life. Well, this prime minister will fight to offend Wu Sansi and Wu Chenghei, and he will also protect him... Belch... Seven Rank Officer! ”
Yes?
If you don't take care of it, you are a six-grade official, but you take care of it and become a seven-grade official, why do you take care of it more and more?
Shen Tuo was dumbfounded!
