In the evening, Prime Minister Di Renjie drove down from Tianjin Bridge and walked slowly along Tianjie towards his house.

Now is the time for the ministers to return to their residences, so there are many pedestrians on the Tian Street, some riding horses and some riding cars, which vary depending on the rank and status and size of the ritual.

Di Renjie's entourage was undoubtedly the most grand. There was a propaganda in front of him, and the roads were cleaned and the marriages were stalked by the carriages. In addition, there was a team of cavalry guards walking slowly in front and behind to serve as guards.

The entire honor guard team has nearly 200 people. Even on this street, people are the most outstanding and most eye-catching.

Of course, such a scale of ceremonial warfare is worthy of Di Renjie's current high status in the court. After the Secretariat Li Zhaode was dismissed from the prime minister, the court granted the most important position among the prime ministers to King Yong of Zhenguo, who was far away in Chang'an, the Western Capital.

As the chief of the Menxia Province, Di Renjie was below two people and above ten thousand people in the Shendu City. In addition to the emperor and the empress dowager, Di Renjie was the most respected. After all, the emperor and the sons were not yet married, and there was no master in the spring palace, and Princess Taiping did not take office.

But it was not Di Renjie's own intention to be so extravagant. Originally, Di Renjie was frugal and did not value majesty. At the beginning of the year, he was even impeached, saying that he was accused of being charming the public and was not a minister.

Di Renjie has been in the officialdom for many years, but he will not change his style because of such idle words. Now he is so powerful, the reason for Cui Xuanwei's death more than two months ago.

This incident caused a great sensation in the gods at that time. There were many voices in the court and in the opposition calling for a thorough investigation. Although Cui Xuanwei was demoted due to loss of power, he had a close relationship with him, both in the court and in the opposition.

What's more, Tang Ye is now reviving, and both inside and outside hope that the current situation can restore Qingming Festival. There will be a serious incident in which ministers die suddenly, so the people naturally urgently want to know the truth.

At that time, everyone was pointed at King Yong of Xijing. No matter whether Cui Xuanwei committed suicide or was harmed by others, King Yong was suspected. After all, the reason why Cui Xuanwei lost power was because he was suppressed by King Yong.

Cui Xuanwei's loss of power did not inspire Shi Liu to feel much emotion. After all, King Yong was successful in Qinghai, and the whole country was excited and excited. At this time, he showed malicious intentions to King Yong, and no matter what suppression and punishment he received, he was blamed.

But even if you want to suppress and retaliate, you should have a standard. Whether it is King Yong's powerful power, shocking the ministers, or strong revenge, causing assassination, this undoubtedly exceeds the standard that the public can tolerate.

At that time, even criticized songs appeared in the shop. The evil rain in Kansai was really weird, which caused my seedlings to destroy my fields. The so-called evil rain in Kansai naturally meant something.

The response from King Yong was also very direct and sharp to various voices and actions that slander him in the Shendu City, that is, to instruct the Zuo Yulin Guard of the North Gate to send troops to protect Li Zhaode, Di Renjie and other ministers to support him.

During the most complex and harsh days, Di Renjie was ordered to go to Shanzhou to investigate the cause of Cui Xuanwei's death, and Lu Wang Li Shouli even personally followed him and went out together.

This action also made the atmosphere of Shendu City unprecedentedly tense, causing the public to think a lot. King Yong's move seemed to prove his innocence, and implied that there must be conspiracy in this matter, so he sent troops to protect two important officials.

But in fact, when it comes to the power and status of King Yong, how could he care about the mere evil words and slander? The greatest significance of such a move is to directly show it to the people of Shendu, but he still has the ability to dispatch the guards of Shendu. He is a naked declaration of hegemony, either to shock the little ones or to shock the court.

The Zuo Yulin Guard was not under the jurisdiction of the court, and the court officials knew this very well. However, because the Zuo Yulin Guard was mainly responsible for guarding Shangyang Palace and no longer even participated in the Beimen Guard, many people ignored this.

But now that King Yong directly identified this relationship, it naturally made the situation in Shendu become unprecedentedly tense. All the rumors and evil voices against King Yong disappeared in an instant. Because many people realized that if King Yong really angered King Yong and made him angry, King Yong really had the energy to overturn the table and smash the plate.

Although the public opinion condemnation against King Yong disappeared, the thorn that was pierced in the heart of the court became more and more profound.

When Lu Wang led his army to protect Di Renjie who was going out to investigate the case, Guanguo Duke Yang Jiaben also led the Southern Yai imperial guards to Shanzhou, and the entire Shaanxi external passage was almost completely blocked. Due to the gathering of soldiers, Shanzhou became a black hole-like existence around the capital. Before and after Cui Xuanwei's death, what happened in Shaanxi and what Di Renjie had investigated was unknown to the outside world.

The severe situation in Shaanxi Province was not relieved until the Minister of War Wang Xiaojie returned to the capital through this situation. The two imperial guards were each repelled by Wang Xiaojie. Di Renjie, who stayed in Shaanxi Province, was also able to return to Shendu under the protection of Wang Xiaojie.

As for what Di Renjie had investigated, the court still did not explain the secret, but only buried Cui Xuanwei with the etiquette of the fifth-rank official, and his son was appointed as the general of the army.

Such a way of handling is naturally not satisfactory, which is exactly the same as the murder case of the Wangchengyi in the old year. Moreover, the similarity between the two cases is that the government and the public were shocked at the time of the incident, and the prime minister specifically investigated the case, but in the end, there was a loud thunder and little rain, so we could not give the public a clear explanation.

What kind of vicious force can make the court worry and cover it up again and again? The Wangchengyi case can also be attributed to the treacherous and chaotic situation in Wuzhou. What kind of trouble can make the court and the capital of the throne and the relatives secret? Can the Tang Dynasty still see the clear day and day?

Facing such criticism from the masses, Di Renjie was quite helpless. Of course, he found out something and was sure that Cui Xuanwei died because of his killing. The murderer committed the crime in the inn, and even the postmen were implicated and murdered.

But Di Renjie didn't know who was going to attack, and he didn't even dare to speculate, and he couldn't continue to investigate. The direction of the murderer's escape was to go to Shan County, but Shan County was not under the jurisdiction of the court. Instead, the county where Zuo Yulin Guards were fed. Since the county magistrate Wang Renjiao, they all became kings of Yong.

At that time, King Lu and Duke Guan led their troops to confront Shanzhou. Under such circumstances, how could Di Renjie dare to go straight to Shan County to investigate in order to investigate the truth? So he ordered the county magistrate Wang Renjiao to search the county. In the end, nothing was found, so he could only report it based on it.

The sentence of the case was not issued through the Political Affairs Hall, but was directly issued by himself. Di Renjie also felt a little frivolous when the emperor dealt with it like this.
