People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 688 Li Xuan VS Di Renjie

In the duty room, Li Xuan looked at the calm Di Renjie in surprise.

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he couldn't help but slapped his forehead and said: "I almost forgot, brother Huaiying was transferred to Dali Temple by Weng Zhang."

When Di Renjie was transferred to Dali Temple, Zhang Wenguan was still Dali Temple Minister.

During this period, Di Renjie judged thousands of cases within half a year, and none of them was wrong, which was highly appreciated by Zhang Wenguan.

Later, Zhang Wenguan was transferred to serve as a servant under the sect, and Duan Baoxuan succeeded him as the Minister of Dali Temple. He also attached great importance to Di Renjie.

There have been rumors that when Di Renjie's one-year term expires, he will be promoted to Dali Temple Chancellor.

You know, Di Renjie was promoted by Yan Liben to be Bingzhou Law Cao back then.

Although the Yan family has declined, many people are still willing to give Di Renjie some help for Yan Liben's sake.

For example, Liu Shenli, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

Of course, there is also Li Xuan.

With a relaxed expression, Li Xuan said relaxedly: "Since Brother Huaiying has been to Menxia Province, there are some things that I will not cover up."

Glancing at the still standing guards behind Di Renjie, Li Xuan changed her mind and said, "After the incident with the King of the East China Sea, a servant in the palace disappeared. That servant once went to the mansion of Guide County Lord with Duke Zhou. The decree was delivered, but there were some abnormal small movements. The king and the real person Shiyin noticed and stopped him on the spot. Because there was still a big event that day, they didn't pay too much attention. They just let people stare. But later, people gone."

Speaking of this, Li Xuan's voice became low and low: "But soon, his body was found in the palace. The Internal Security Bureau examined the body and finally concluded that the man died on the day the decree was delivered. It is even very possible that he died before going to Guide County Lord's Mansion."

"What does the lord mean to say that the master of martial arts is also dead?" Di Renjie keenly grasped the point of Li Xuan's words.

Li Xuan waved his hand and did not rush to explain, but continued: "It is precisely because of this that Jin Wuwei, Qianniuwei, and the palace all sent people to follow the three people who accompanied Zhou Guogong to deliver the decree at the same time. , King Luo Bin, Yang Jiong, Song Zhiwen, and Duke Zhou himself."

Zhou Guogong, Wu Chengsi.

Li Xuan tossed Wu Chengsi's name. Although the faces of the people behind Di Renjie were calm, a trace of shock still flashed deep in their eyes.

Only Di Renjie remained unmoved, and still asked urgently: "What's the result?"

"I didn't find out, at least I didn't find out on my side. Later, my king was dismissed by His Majesty from the position of inspecting the Jinwu Guard Zhonglang. Naturally, I didn't pay attention to these things anymore. Brother Huaiying wanted to ask something later. In the end, I'm afraid I can only go to Master Shiyin." Li Xuan pushed [-] and easily pushed the matter out.

Di Renjie stared at all the expressions on Li Xuan's face with a pair of not very big eyes, thinking about something in his mind.

After a while, Di Renjie asked slowly: "After the prince, did you really stop paying attention?"

Li Xuan smiled, looked at Di Renjie and said: "Brother Huaiying, I understand what you think, but this is Chang'an, there are many things, if there is no protection from His Majesty's imperial decree and court officials, I will go to investigate some things at will. It's easy to get into trouble...at least the censor's level, if you have a conspiracy, you won't be able to explain it clearly."

Di Renjie nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and wiped the beard on his nose habitually, then raised his head, and said with a faint smile: "Why did the prince ever care about this?"

"This king has always paid attention to the rules." Li Xuan quickly waved his hands, and then sighed with emotion: "Your Majesty dismissed this king from the position of inspector Jinwuwei Zhonglang, but gave this king inspector The crown prince rightly praises the duty of a good doctor, so even if you don’t pay attention, you must pay attention.”

After Li Xuan was dismissed as the inspector Jinwuwei Zhonglang General, he was appointed as the inspector Prince You Zanshan Doctor, who was in charge of the East Palace attendant and lecturer, and was appointed as an advising doctor.

The Crown Prince's East Palace is like a small imperial court. Officials at all levels are comparable to those in the imperial court. The three provinces, six ministries, and nine temples have a comparison.

Prince You Zanshan's position is not low, and his words and deeds are deeply involved with the East Palace. The King of Nanchang must be careful.

"Then what does the prince think about the matter of the master of martial arts?" Di Renjie's expression finally softened.

Li Xuan took a deep look at Di Renjie, and finally sighed, "There are only three possibilities."

"Three?" Di Renjie was stunned, and then said: "I originally thought there were only two."

"Escape, die, or live." Li Xuan looked at Di Renjie seriously, as if his eyes had seen his heart.

The last "birth" was indeed something that Di Renjie did not expect.

This "life" is not an ordinary life, but a real life, a life of vitality.

Surviving, not only safe and sound in the end, but even being able to get promoted, this is real life.

Di Renjie read the history books, of course he understood the meaning of Li Xuan's words, and he said immediately: "Please ask the prince to explain in detail."

"Escape!" Li Xuan tapped lightly on the table, and said in a low voice: "Perhaps King Luo Bin was replaced by others long ago, so he escaped the attention of all parties and left; perhaps he has never been replaced by others, but he has his own problems. , maybe he was caught by someone, and then ran away decisively."

Di Renjie didn't speak, but nodded, keeping Li Xuan's words in his heart.

Li Xuan took a breath and continued: "King Luo Bin was replaced by someone else, so he may have been killed; maybe he was never replaced, but what was seen by others, the person who was seen out, killed him .”

Di Renjie finally understood the meaning of Li Xuan's words, there was something wrong with King Luo Bin after all.

"Live!" Li Xuan cautiously expressed his third guess: "King Luo Bin was replaced by someone, but he himself was hidden somewhere and is still alive; King Luo Bin has never been replaced by someone, and has never been discovered. What, it's just that some people need him to disappear to attract attention and cover themselves."

"My lord went around and said, what I wanted to say was the last sentence." Di Renjie finally understood, he nodded, and said: "The life and death of King Luo Bin is not important, what matters are three things, he may have been replaced, He may have his own problems, and in the end, others need him to have problems."

"There are some things that my lord can't say. Brother Huaiying thinks about it, finds it out, and it has nothing to do with me." Li Xuan waved his hand casually. He didn't recognize what Di Renjie said.

Di Renjie didn't say anything more.

Who needs to use King Luo Bin's disappearance to divert attention, why use King Luo Bin's disappearance to divert attention, and who will be involved in this matter.

Di Renjie needed to investigate these matters by himself.

Li Xuan only needs to mention a few more words here, and it will immediately arouse suspicion in the palace.

"Thank you, my lord, for your guidance." Di Renjie stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Then I won't bother you."

Li Xuan got up and said: "It's okay, if brother Huaiying has any questions, you might as well ask directly. If the king can answer, I will try my best to answer."

"Thank you, my lord." Di Renjie cupped his hands again, and then turned to leave. Suddenly, he stopped, looked back at Li Xuan, and asked cautiously: "My lord, what will my lord do if he finds out that there is something wrong with the master of martial arts?" ?”

Seeing that, at the last moment, Di Renjie asked the last words.

Li Xuan couldn't help laughing as soon as he heard it, waved his hands, and said: "If this king finds out that there is something wrong with him, then first of all, he must go to Qianniuwei, find the King of Beiping County, transfer a team of Qianniuwei, and then go to the Qianniuwei. Request an order from the palace to transfer two teams of Jinwu guards, or two teams of right guards, both of which must be cavalry who are good at shooting, and then go straight to Chang'an Qijia and Wugong County Government, and block all the roads in the middle, or block, or kill."

Li Xuan's last kill word was extremely sharp.

Di Renjie suddenly became solemn, but his eyes were completely relaxed, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is indeed cautious and generous in his actions, so I will take my leave."

Di Renjie finally left Honglu Temple completely, but at this time Li Xuan, after sitting back at the table, began to re-examine every word he said.

Di Renjie is not an ordinary person. If he really wants to say a word, he will immediately seize the opening and chase him fiercely.

……

On Huangcheng Avenue, Di Renjie was walking in front, followed by four arresters from Dali Temple.

Although the four people looked solemn, their eyes were communicating with each other while their hands were resting on the long knife.

At this moment, Di Renjie stopped and asked directly without looking back, "What are you muttering about?"

The faces of the four people were full of surprises. The one on the far left was thirty years old with an ordinary face. The policeman quickly stood up and asked, "Si Cheng, why didn't you tell Nanchang King about that?"

"This is a secret to solve the case. Why did you tell the king of Nanchang?" Di Renjie turned around, saw the speaker with a face full of surprise, and asked in puzzlement, "Wang Ding, what are you thinking, just tell me?"

Wang Di said seriously: "Sicheng, after all, that thing is related to Nanchang King. If you ask, maybe you can find out something?"

"It's just a poem, and it wasn't made by the King of Nanchang. How can it be related to him?" Di Renjie said directly, and then said: "Although the Pavilion of King Teng is in Hongzhou, it is not in Nanchang County. He works under the King of Nanchang, but he has left his post long ago, not to mention, according to what I heard, Wang Zian accompanied the King of Nanchang to travel south at the request of His Royal Highness, what do you have to do with the King of Nanchang?"

After Di Renjie finished speaking, Wang Dic didn't know what to say.

Di Renjie's expression was slightly cold, and he said indifferently: "The matter of King Luo Bin has nothing to do with Wang Zi'an. If this matter has something to do with Wang Zi'an, then the first person who should be questioned is me."

After Di Renjie finished speaking, the faces of the four police officers present turned pale.

They finally heard that the relationship between Di Renjie and Wang Bo was closer than they had imagined.

Di Renjie took a breath, then looked at the four of them and said: "I know what you are thinking, but sometimes, you have to use some means to do things, and you can't be too straightforward. For example, today, I asked the king of Nanchang. Although I didn’t mention the poem, but if I didn’t mention it, maybe I didn’t ask?”

After Di Renjie finished speaking, the other four looked at each other in blank dismay.

Di Renjie sighed softly, and said: "At least, from the reaction of King Nanchang's words today, it can be seen that he doesn't know anything about that poem at all, that is to say, he doesn't pay attention to the Wugong county government at all. After resigning from the post of Jinwuwei Zhonglang General, he no longer pays attention to Luo Binwang, so it seems that his words are true."

Today, Di Renjie has only one piece of evidence in his hand, and that is Wang Bo's "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", which was found in the office of the head of the yamen of Luo Binwang's Wugong County and copied by Luo Binwang himself.
