Chapter 428 Yes, I Really Rebelled (Thanks to Roadwin for the Reward)

Due to his deep resistance, Li Shimin was not very willing to go into the details of the empress's enthronement.

Although Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling had written records, it would not be difficult to find them and organize them separately.

But as long as he thought about the transformation of Wu Zetian's identity from his own talent to his son's empress and then to the emperor of Wu Zhou, plus the rebellion of the crown prince and his close ministers in the middle, Li Shimin felt a little swollen in the head.

Let him go, this is the decision made by Li Jia Erlang for himself.

Even if he occasionally thought of this matter, Li Shimin would refer to Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, thinking that most of his descendants would have a figure like Liu Xiu with the legacy of the former Han Dynasty, and he would raise his arms and call for the restoration of the Tang Dynasty.

As a result, he never expected that even the surname Li was almost taken away.

I thought that this so-called Taixuan Hundred Years of Prosperity would be as stable as the early Tang Dynasty's conquest of the four barbarians.

Unexpectedly, it was so thrilling?

Shaking his head, Li Shimin fell on the bed in a daze.

At this time, a hand was extended from the side, and Li Shimin was a little touched: the queen is still the best.

It was only when he held it in his hand that he felt the hand feel was completely different. When he looked up, he was greeted by Sun Simiao's disgusted expression:

"Your Majesty, Qingre Pills."

"Oh, OK."

He took it with water under the expression of Empress Changsun who couldn't help laughing.

After taking the bitter pill, Li Shimin's mind calmed down a bit, so he became more and more unhappy with the group of monks.

"Those who sit and talk about nothing, and fabricate such Buddhist scriptures to suit their tastes, can be called a match."

Although he said so, Li Shimin thought about it unconsciously in his head at the same time, and said:

"Ke Ming, when you have time, change the face of this matter and tell the Japanese monk."

Du Ruhui's mouth twitched. His Majesty scolded him on the one hand, and asked him to carefully teach the Japanese monk to do this to enter Japan, which was...real.

There was no need to explain this plan, he understood it, and he came up with several methods in a flash.

For example, he remembered that in the pre-Sui Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, offering Buddhist bones of eminent monks was still popular.

Nowadays, there are many temples in Guanzhong and Luoyang. It is appropriate to select a few eminent monks and Buddhist bones to cross the east to educate the wild land. I think the masters should have no objection and will welcome it very much.

Now Du Ruhui, Li Shimin and others have gradually understood that whether the Tang Dynasty needs this temple is still a question, but this temple definitely needs the Tang Dynasty.

However, after looking at the few lines of words from the emperor asking for a surname, Li Shimin was still not satisfied and cursed angrily:

"Relatives, barbarians, monks, Taoists, hey, you are all kind-hearted."

This time, Empress Zhangsun stretched out her hands to wrap Li Shimin's palms, and said with a smile:

"Such a cunning trick to seize the country is certainly not as good as our upright conquest of the world on horseback."

"No wonder later generations also said that the return of Wu Zhou to Tang was a natural thing."

After being comforted by the empress, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty sighed:

"That's right... Although there is such a chaos, there are also loyal and good people who support the government."

"Just don't know if this Di Renjie... is from Taiyuan?"

The surname Di is not common. When Li Yuan was the governor of Jinyang in the Sui Dynasty, Li Shimin also followed his father to Taiyuan many times. He was not unfamiliar with the local customs and habits there, but he vaguely remembered that there was a Di surname in Taiyuan.

At this moment, Li Shimin was really curious about what talent Di Renjie had.

[In the eighth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Erfeng sharpened his knife and prepared to attack Tuyuhun, who had been trying to kill himself.

At the same time, the governance of internal affairs was not neglected. In order to investigate public opinion and rectify the administration of officials, Li Ge sent thirteen ambassadors of demotion and promotion to inspect the whole country.

Demotion means demotion, and promotion means promotion. The ambassadors of demotion and promotion set up by Li Shimin himself took the central government's supervision system over local governments one step further.

Because before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there was only the supervision of the Chayuan, which was concurrently held by the censor, and only had the ability to report and had narrow powers.

The ambassadors of demotion and promotion were in a high position and had the power to make temporary decisions. They could promote, dismiss, imprison, and execute local officials.

This position became more and more complete in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. Its powers were further divided and subdivided, and its name evolved, such as the inspector, the inspector, the interview and disposal envoy, the observation envoy, etc.

Multiple supervisory departments cross-supervised each other, and also avoided the central government from falling into an information blind spot, which was a relatively good decision. 】

When Empress Changsun turned around, she saw that Li Shimin had already raised his head impatiently, but his face was still indifferent, as if saying that this was just a common thing.

The empress, who wanted to praise it, laughed out loud and simply said:

"This is a position established by everyone three years later, why are you so proud of it?"

Li Shimin disagreed:

"If it is according to what he said, my Tang will have to wait another four years to conquer Tuyuhun."

"But now the war has started, at most in August, the pharmacist will arrest Fu Yun and bring him to your highness."

The words were firm, and Li Shimin was now very clear about the reputation of the things produced by the Five Thunders Office, so he was full of confidence.

For him, one of the greatest pleasures now is to use the light curtain to compare with the Li Shimin recorded in the history books of later generations.

To destroy the country faster, make the people richer, expand the territory, and have more subjects.

He was also very curious about the limit of his Zhenguan ship's voyage.

[It's a bit off topic, but in short, the initiative of setting up the ambassador of promotion and demotion was well passed down.

When Li Zhi became emperor, Yan Liben also caught the attention of Emperor Gaozong because of his achievements in painting in Lingyan Pavilion, and was granted the post of ambassador of promotion and demotion to inspect outside the capital.

Yan Liben was the governor of Henan Province. After inspecting Taiyuan, he gave a top evaluation based on Di Renjie's appearance:

You are the pearl of the sea and the treasure of the southeast!

He gave a high evaluation and then directly appointed Di Renjie as the legal officer of Bingzhou Military Governor's Office.

This position was the beginning of Di Renjie's rise and the fixed impression of him in later generations: he was good at solving cases.

Di Renjie worked very well in Bingzhou Military Governor's Office and was soon promoted to Dali Temple Secretary with Yan Liben's recommendation and excellent political achievements.

After taking office, it took only one year to deal with all the 17,000 difficult and miscellaneous cases accumulated in Dali Temple, without any false or wrongful cases, which shows his ability.

After arriving in Chang'an, Di Renjie's "rebellious bones" were also exposed.

During the Yifeng period, Li Zhi's health was much worse than before, while the queen Wu Zetian was in poor health.

The disadvantages of two saints ruling the country have also begun to emerge. After all, it is easy to imagine that once Li Zhi, the "saint", is gone, who can control Wu Zetian, who is in good health and eats everything?

Moreover, the big locust tree on the grave of Changsun Wuji was old and rough at that time. Without a common enemy, the royal couple began the power struggle between the two saints.

Therefore, for the officials in Chang'an at that time, they would inevitably encounter the problem of choosing sides.

Which side is Di Renjie on? For Li Zhi, it is undoubtedly the side of the queen.

The matter is also very simple. After dealing with the backlog of cases in the Dali Temple, Di Renjie, who was unable to rest, began to speak out and impeach the guilty officials impartially.

During this period, Di Ge successively impeached Quan Shancai, the general of Wuwei, Wei Ji, the minister of agriculture and the general of the left secretary, and Wang Benli, who were basically Li Zhi's confidants, and they all took the lead in the struggle with Empress Wu.

Moreover, in the eyes of outsiders, Di Renjie and Wu Zetian are both from Bingzhou, and they are definitely from the same hometown. Who would believe you if you say you are not Empress Wu's?

In fact, Di Ge also felt wronged about this matter. It's not that he didn't want to stand on the side of His Majesty, but why did Your Majesty only favor the crooked melons and jujubes?

However, Li Zhi didn't give Di Renjie a chance to show his loyalty. After a few years, he was killed. From then on, Wu Zetian officially took the throne and began to rule the country.

The most significant change for Di Renjie was that his career began to flourish. He was successively transferred to Ningzhou Governor, Wenchang Right Prime Minister, and Yuzhou Governor, and he was well-known in each place.

After all, Wu Zetian's real direct descendants often promoted more than a thousand ancestral temples in the local area, or waved his hand to implicate thousands of people.

In comparison, Di Renjie would let go if he could and be lenient if he could. In comparison, he seemed like a saint, which was somewhat incompatible with the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, it was not surprising that he was eventually thrown into prison by the Wu family on the charge of treason.

In order to avoid being tortured and unjustly died in prison, Lao Di cooperated very well:

Yes, I really rebelled. 】
