Chapter 228 Di Renjie asks for help
"very good...!"
Just when Xue Huaiyi thought he could get the praise from Wu Zetian, but who knew that Wu Zetian just said something very good, then smiled slightly, ready to go back with Ang Lee's hand.
Xue Huaiyi felt like he was about to part with him because this was not the result that Xue Huaiyi wanted. According to Xue Huaiyi's idea, Wu Zetian should have praised him with a smile and then he would be like before, and he would be very fond of him again.
But these two cold words are very good, what does it mean?
Looking at Wu Zetian who was about to leave, Xue Huaiyi ignored it. He had another trick. At this moment, a huge portrait fell from the sky. When everyone looked closely, it turned out to be Wu Zetian.
I saw Wu Zetian dressed in Buddha costume, sitting on the lotus throne, solemn and merciful.
The appearance of the portrait caused shock to all the officials present, because in addition to the painting of Wu Zetian, the portrait was also painted in blood. Listening to the amazement of the officials around him, Xue Huaiyi looked at Wu Zetian with a serious look and said: "Your Majesty... This picture of Buddha's arrival in the world was painted in the blood of the little monk."
"puff...!"
After Xue Huaiyi finished speaking, Li An couldn't help laughing.
Let me explain it here that Ang Lee laughed, not intentionally, nor was it to attack Xue Huaiyi. It was mainly because Xue Huaiyi said it too much. You have to know that the Buddha statue painted with blood is very huge.
Your body has a lot of blood. Even if you bleed you into a human fuck, it is unlikely that you would draw such a large portrait. This lie is really not at all.
So Ang Lee couldn't help laughing.
Fortunately, Xue Huaiyi was concentrating on the observation of Wu Zetian's performance at this time, and did not care about Ang Lee. Xue Huaiyi was still eager for Wu Zetian's attitude. It was a pity that Wu Zetian only said, "Okay...you sit back..."
There was no sadness, no joy, or even too many other expressions, and then he turned around and left indifferently. At this moment, Xue Huaiyi was completely ashamed. The moment Wu Zetian turned around and left home, Xue Huaiyi really seemed to have lost the whole world.
....................................
After the farce, the banquet continued. This palace banquet was really not nutritious at all. However, what Ang Lee did not expect was that about the day after the banquet, Wu Zetian issued an imperial edict.
The surrendered emperor's grandson Chengqi was King Shouchun, King Chengyi was King Hengyang, King Longji was King Linzi, King Wei Longfan was King Baling, and King Zhao Longye was King Pengcheng, and both were the sons of Emperor Ruizong.
No one can understand this move, so why did he suddenly attack Li Jiaren again, and so many people surrendered. Later, Ang Lee understood through Diting. The sudden attack on the Li family was because of the report of King Wu Chengsi of Wei, and King Wu Chengsi of Wei, who reported the report of King Wu Chengsi of Wei, was also to tell the officials that Wu Chengsi was back.
And they directly took the Li family's sacrifice knife as soon as they came up, so everyone must stand well, otherwise they will have to bear the consequences.
Time has come April of the second year of longevity... Spring returns to the earth, but today a major event is about to happen... Di Renjie was framed, and the charge of framed is rebellion.
Also arrested with Di Renjie were Ren Linghui, Li Youdao, Yuan Zhihong, Cui Shenji, and Lu Xian.
We know that in the fourteen years before and after Wu Zetian ascended the throne, he implemented the politics of cruel officials. At that time, the news was popular. Whether it was true or false, he could get rid of his skin when he was in the hands of cruel officials, and even tortured to death.
Because of Wu Zetian's tacit approval, these cruel officials could be said to be heartless. At the beginning, they mainly targeted the Li Tang royal family or officials who opposed Wu Zetian. They gradually changed their flavor. As long as you offend the cruel officials, you will be on the blacklist, and then go to prison and are tortured by them in different ways, and it is likely to implicate the family. Therefore, the atmosphere of the ministers at that time was very heavy when they bid farewell to their families before going to court, and no one could tell whether this was the last time they met.
Di Renjie was arrested under this situation, and Ang Lee was still in Zhenjia Village at this time.
The law at that time stipulated that if it was admitted once questioned, it would likely be exempted from death penalty, and the family might not be implicated. This is exactly what Lai Junchen is so brilliant.
After Lai Junchen arrested Di Renjie, he personally came to interrogate Di Renjie. To be honest, Lai Junchen had prepared all the most terrifying tortures for Di Renjie, and was ready to torture Di Renjie well.
But what Lai Junchen did not expect was that Di Renjie actually pleaded guilty on the spot and said: "The Great Zhou Dynasty carried out a revolution, and everything is new. I am an old minister of the Tang Dynasty. I am willing to be killed. Rebellion is a fact."
This made Lai Junchen feel like he punched the cotton, which was very unhappy, but it was nothing to be upset. Anyway, after getting a confession, Di Renjie and others would all die.
In this way, he made great contributions to his career.
So after Lai Junchen received the confession, he put Di Renjie and others in prison, waiting for the verdict to be announced tomorrow, and he was no longer so cautious about them.
But at this moment, another cruel official, Wang Deshou, took the opportunity to find Di Renjie, hoping that Di Renjie would accuse Yang Zhirou of plotting rebellion as a bargaining chip for Wang Deshou's promotion, but Di Renjie knocked his head against the pillar and rejected Wang Deshou with blood. Wang Deshou was so scared that he no longer made things difficult for Di Renjie.
Afterwards, Di Renjie borrowed pen and ink from the prison guard, tore off a piece of cloth from the quilt, and then wrote down his grievances and hid them in his down jacket.
Di Renjie asked Wang Deshou to send the unwrapped down jacket back to the Di family. He was scared by Di Renjie's blood sprinkled as if it were. In order to clear the relationship, Wang Deshou had to send Di Renjie's immunity back to the Di family.
As a gift, the letter in the down jacket was seen by Di Renjie's son Di Guangyuan. Di Guangyuan was Di Renjie's second son. After seeing the letter, he rode out without saying a word.
This is to go to Zhenjia Village to ask Ang Lee to help him.
To be honest, Ang Lee didn't know anything at this time. During this period, Ang Lee had been training his own Jie family army. The Wu family and Lai Junchen and others got together in the court. Ang Lee knew, but Ang Lee also knew that the Wu family and Lai Junchen did not dare to touch him.
As for their dealing with those old ministers of Li Tang, it has nothing to do with him.
As long as the Wu family, there are those cruel officials who don’t understand Ang Lee, such as Li Dan and Li Chengqi... Then Ang Lee ignored these guys, but Ang Lee did not expect that Wu Chengsi, a guy who was so arrogant, actually asked Lai Junchen to start testing Ang Lee’s bottom line and move Di Renjie beside Ang Lee.
If Ang Lee had not taken action, he would continue to move Li Dan. Now that Wu Chengsi is in power again, he can no longer suppress his desire for the position of crown prince.
