Chapter 596 This prince is very depressed

Lu Chengtai's words were not wrong. The news that Di Renjie had captured the main criminal in the Luoyang case quickly spread throughout Luoyang. Especially when it was heard that the main criminal would be paraded through the streets soon, it aroused the attention of thousands of people.

There was a sensation, and the relatives of the killed officials rushed to the streets and came to the Yamen, always ready to throw stones at the man. The literati were also discussing secretly, or questioning the matter.

, or those who came to watch the excitement, it seems that the Luoyang case will be solved soon.

Soon, news came out that Di Renjie had left Luoyang. It was because the case involved an important person in Chang'an City, so Di Renjie went to Chang'an again to prepare to capture that important person in Chang'an.

.Everyone became curious again as to who else was behind this case.

The atmosphere in Chang'an City did not change because of Lu Zhaoci's departure and Lu Chenglie's supervision of the country. These officials may go to court during the day, but at night they hide in the dark and carefully observe everything in Chang'an City.

Under the east window, everyone was discussing everything in the court. Because for the most part, it was a little too weird.

Needless to say, the Luoyang case is of course the latest news about the Luoyang case. Every day, the latest news about the Luoyang case comes. In fact, just what happened there, a few hours later, news came from Chang'an City. And more importantly, Liu Hui

The father and son and Wu Neng died in prison. Although some people say that they committed suicide out of fear of crime, don't you think it is too obvious to commit suicide out of fear of crime? I heard that in the court, the prince is planning to have people come to investigate the case. This investigation

The man's name was Ma Zhou, and he was a guest of the prince. He was also a young talent. But before the incident happened, suddenly shocking news came from Luoyang. Di Renjie was preparing to take over the case. There was an uproar in the court.

Why can this Di Renjie take over this case? You must know that this case originally occurred in Chang'an. Di Renjie was just investigating a case in Luoyang, and there was no involvement in it. Why should he investigate the case? For a moment,

Various discussions about Di Renjie also followed.

No matter what others think, the real reason why Di Renjie came to Chang'an City was soon revealed in front of everyone. In the main hall of the East Palace, Lu Chenglie was sitting on the throne, and the remaining people from Xuande Hall stayed behind.

Changsun Wuji and others also came with them. It has to be said that although these people were dismissed from their posts, if something happened in the court on weekdays, Lu Zhaoci would naturally not call them when he was in office, but

Now that Lu Chenglie is supervising the country, he has to call them. On the one hand, they are the heroes of the empire, and secondly, these people are Lu Chenglie's elders. Lu Chenglie has to respect these people. Even if they are dismissed officials, it is the same.

"This is what Di Renjie said when he submitted Liu Wu's case to him for trial. Can you all tell me, is this okay?" There was no emotion on Lu Chenglie's face, but those who were interested could still see the twinkle in his eyes.

In the light, it can be seen that Lu Chenglie is in an extremely happy mood at this moment. He is obviously very satisfied with this Di Renjie. After all, he is his minister. And he is well-known and is known as a capable official and a capable official. This also shows that

Dong Gong is very discerning and has many talents.

"Haha! In the huge Tang Dynasty, is Di Renjie the only one?" Changsun Wuji said disdainfully: "Your Highness, I don't agree with Di Renjie's statement." Changsun Wuji said without thinking. In his words

He didn't have any scruples. Maybe he had always been like this. Maybe he was still a little restrained in front of Lu Zhaoci, but now that he was in front of Lu Chenglie, he didn't need to be so restrained.

"Your Highness, when the court meeting was held, Ma Zhoulai was prepared to take charge of this matter. At this time, would it be inappropriate to let Di Renjie take charge of this matter?" Wang Gui also said: "Your Highness, Di Renjie is talented.

Man, we cannot refute this point, but since His Highness has decided to let Ma Zhou investigate this matter, and now regrets letting Di Renjie handle the case, it will make the world think of His Highness, so I also think this matter is inappropriate.

.Your Highness, please take a closer look."

"This?" Lu Chenglie couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he saw that he had just opened his mouth and was opposed by two veterans. To be honest, he didn't understand Di Renjie's request, but Di Renjie was his loyal minister.

He treats Di Renjie as his Cen Wenwen. At a certain time, if he can satisfy Di Renjie, he will naturally satisfy Di Renjie. But what Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui said is that if this matter is left to Di Renjie, it may be true.

There was something inappropriate about it. I felt embarrassed for a while.

"Your Highness, since the matter has been handed over to Ma Zhou, rashly changing the investigators will be detrimental to the investigation of the case." Wei Ting also advised.

"What do you think, Mr. Chief Assistant?" Lu Chenglie finally looked at Cen Wenwen, obviously waiting for Cen Wenwen to give him an idea. In his heart, he hoped that Cen Wenwen, a guy with extraordinary intelligence, could come up with a solution that had the best of both worlds.

Find a way.

"The old minister also thought that this matter can no longer be touched. It is better for Di Renjie to go back to Luoyang." To Lu Chenglie's surprise, Cen Wenwen, who favored Di Renjie very much, rejected Lu Chenglie's suggestion in one breath and suggested that Di Renjie be driven back to Luoyang.

, continued to deal with the Luoyang case, which made Lu Chenglie extremely embarrassed. There was even an inexplicable shame and anger in his heart.

"Okay, in that case, let Di Renjie go back!" Lu Chenglie reacted quickly and did not argue. Instead, he nodded and said: "Since all the ministers agree to this matter, let's do what you said and disperse.

Come on!" He stood up and walked towards the harem without looking back.

"Hey! Your Highness is still immature!" Changsun Wuji sighed softly. But the proud look on his face betrayed him. So what could he do if he didn't have an official position, but His Highness the Crown Prince would still not object to what he said.

. That’s it.

"Di Renjie thinks he is a god and has a hand in everything. Not only did he investigate the case from Zhaojun to Luoyang, but now he is planning to investigate from Luoyang to Chang'an, he simply doesn't know how high the sky is. After all, he is a young man." Wei Ting also disdained.

He said: "The prince is too fond of this person. If this continues, if he does not kill him, how great his majesty and arrogance will be in the future. I still have to see it clearly. Otherwise, if His Highness the prince does this, he will not be able to do it."

Do you know how the people of the world view His Highness the Crown Prince? How can we ministers contribute to the Tang Dynasty in the future! Is it true that only Di Renjie is an outstanding talent in this world, and the world cannot do without Di Renjie? I

Look, that won’t be the case! Ma Zhou is also a capable official, wouldn’t it be okay to let him help with this matter?”

"Haha! What Master Wei said is serious." Wei Zheng on the side snorted coldly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not think that Ma Zhou's talents were inferior to Di Renjie, nor did he say that Di Renjie was the only one among the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.

He is a useful person, but he just feels that Di Renjie’s idea is correct. That’s why he is planning to hand over the case to Di Renjie. He has no other intention. Master Wei’s words are too serious. Hum! Maybe, the case should be handed over to Wei.

Sir, that's the best." After saying that, he ignored Wei Ting who looked embarrassed, threw off his official robe, and left the East Palace.

"Who is this?" Wei Ting's face turned red, he pointed at Wei Zheng's back and shouted loudly. But there was a hint of panic in his eyes, as if Wei Ting had really hit his mark.

Thoughts are the same.

"Okay, it's all gone! It's all gone!" Cen Wenwen frowned and waved his hand.

"Mr. Ge, the Crown Princess would like to invite Mr. Ge to have a chat in the back garden." Cen Wenwen and others were about to leave hand in hand when suddenly a young eunuch came from behind and walked to Cen Wenwen and others and said.

Everyone looked at each other, and Cen Wenwen thought for a moment and said, "You lead the way!" He then bowed his hands to Changsun Wuji and others and said, "Everyone, you can go back first. I will go see the Crown Princess first.

"

"Master Ge, please help yourself." Upon seeing this, Wang Gui quickly said with his hands raised. Changsun Wuji and others also raised their hands. Cen Wenwen nodded, and then followed the young eunuch towards the harem.

"Auxiliary machine, Mr. Cen is deeply trusted by two generations of emperors!" Wei Ting looked at Cen Wenwen's figure and said lightly: "The princess is not looking for him, I'm afraid the prince is looking for him! Hum, this prince

Your Highness has changed a lot."

"Don't worry, he will force you to give him a strong job. The bright moon shines in my heart." Changsun Wuji's eyes flickered, and he said calmly: "Cen Wenwen is the chief minister of the imperial court, and his disciples and former officials are not the same."

Do you know how many, even the power to mobilize the imperial guards is much greater than that of His Highness the Crown Prince? Cen Wenwen can mobilize the garrison, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may mobilize the garrison? Cen Wenwen can freely handle officials below the third rank, even the Chang'an order can be replaced, but the Crown Prince

Is this possible? Even if he is an adult now and can handle state affairs, His Majesty still needs to be notified of the transfer of officials of fourth rank and above. The transfer of garrison still requires the order of Xuande Palace and the Queen's decree. His power is already with the Crown Prince.

Above all, although I respect Cen Wenwen very much now, once the prince succeeds to the throne, can Cen Wenwen still stay in Chang'an City? Cen Wenwen's power is too great. Even the prince has to deal with him. Wait.

! Cen Wenwen can't be proud for long. To be honest, if this matter hadn't been of such great importance, I wouldn't have objected to His Highness the Crown Prince's decision. However, it's a good thing that Cen Wenwen finally spoke up, otherwise, His Highness the Crown Prince would also have objections to me.

of.".

"Yes! Di Renjie is so powerful." Wei Ting seemed to have thought of something, shuddered and said: "He can actually tell from the death of Liu Hui and Wu Neng that the Luoyang case is related to us.

Relationship. There may be many officials in Datang who can investigate a case, and there may be few such officials who can investigate a complex and tortuous case, but if two seemingly unrelated cases can be put together for investigation

, Such people are very scary. This case must not be interrogated by Di Renjie, otherwise he will soon find out the truth behind it."

"No matter what? You have to be ready to let go at any time." Changsun Wuji thought for a while and said: "Di Renjie is a ruthless person. Since he has focused on this, it means that he can be used at any time.

If we investigate this case, even if he doesn't, he will tell Ma Zhou how to investigate the case. If they find something by then, we will be passive."

"That's the only way it can be. This Di Renjie is really hateful." Wei Ting frowned and said viciously: "If we don't get rid of this person, one day we will fall into his hands."

"Get rid of? How to get rid of it?" Changsun Wuji said dissatisfied: "Your Majesty has great trust in him. He is guarded by Royal Guards when he comes in and out. His treatment is better than that of us. Those guards kill without blinking an eye.

If the number of characters is not ten times greater than his, it is impossible to kill him."

"Let's go!" Wei Ting waved his hand and said, "For the time being, drive him back to Luoyang. This kind of person must not be allowed to stay in Chang'an City." Wei Ting and others also nodded. They did not expect that.

, Di Renjie, who they didn't pay attention to at all in the past, has now turned into a towering tree, which has posed a great threat to their survival, making Wei Ting and others feel very uncomfortable.

"Your Highness." In the back garden, Cen Wenwen bowed his hands to Lu Chenglie in front of him with a humble smile.

"Sit." Lu Chenglie said with a smile on his face, pointing to the brocade stool in front of him. There was no trace of the anger just now on his face.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Cen Wenwen nodded, sat on the brocade stool, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness is here to question me?"

"Haha! I don't dare, I don't dare." Lu Chenglie's expression changed, and he quickly waved his hand and said: "Since Mr. Ge has made such a decision, there must be a reason, so I want to ask Mr. Ge to come and give some advice.

two."

"Don't dare, don't dare." Cen Wenwen quickly waved his hand and said: "Your Highness is well versed in classics and history, but does he know about Chao Cuo during the reign of the Han Dynasty's most prosperous emperor?"

"Of course I know." Lu Chenglie looked straight and said quickly: "This man is a famous official. The reason why the Han Dynasty had Wenjing's rule has a lot to do with this man."

"Yes, Chao Cuo was a famous minister, but the famous minister did not die well in the end!" Cen Wenwen sighed deeply, with a hint of dejection in his voice. He said lightly: "Back then, Emperor Wen

When he was in power, Emperor Jing left two famous ministers, one was Jia Yi and the other was Chao Cuo. However, Jia Yi died too early, leaving only Chao Cuo. It is undeniable that this Chao Cuo was a famous minister.

The minister had outstanding talents and played an important role in the policy of reducing the vassal state. Emperor Jing really relied on this person. No matter whether it was important military or state affairs, he would call Chao Cuo to discuss and solve them together, just like how your majesty treats his old ministers.

Some people outside say that the Zhenguan Dynasty had Cen Wenwen in its literature and Li Jing in its military affairs, so the country was peaceful and the people were safe. This was the case with Chao Cuo during the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. Unlike Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty went from chaos to order, so the ministers and others were all heroes.

However, during the period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, there were Huns outside and kings inside. Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty had talents, but he was not a man accustomed to fighting. All important military and state affairs relied on Chao Cuo, so that in the hearts of many officials, Chao Cuo

This imperial censor is the prime minister of the court, one person is inferior to ten thousand people! Your Highness, Chao Cuo has done everything, so what are the other ministers doing? Prime Minister, Taiwei, and the imperial censor are all three.

Qing and Qing assisted the emperor together. Now the emperor only trusted one censor, so did he still need the prime minister, Taiwei and Jiuqing? So these people regarded Chao Cuo as a thorn in their side. When King Wu Liu Bi rebelled, Chao was killed.

Chao Cuo, the banner of Qing Jun, everyone knows that Chao Cuo is for the great Han Dynasty, Chao Cuo is innocent, but why is no one willing to speak for Chao Cuo? Even his good friend Yuan Ang asked the emperor to kill Chao Cuo?

It's just that Chao Cuo did what everyone else did and aroused the jealousy of others! Your Highness, isn't the situation the same now? Di Renjie is talented, and the veteran agrees with this. Even what Di Renjie said, Liu Hui, Wu Neng, etc.

The death of a person may really have a lot to do with the Luoyang case, but so what? His Highness should not only have one Di Renjie, but also others. Your Highness should not only trust one Di Renjie, but also others.

Are they also young and talented people? Aren't they? Your Highness, you favor Di Renjie so much, not for his own good, but to harm him. You isolate him in front of the ministers."

"Mr. Ge, you are so thoughtless. Haha!" Lu Chenglie smiled and raised the wine glass in front of him to cover up his embarrassment.

But Cen Wenwen didn't seem to see it. He just nodded and continued: "Your Highness, there is one more thing. Your Highness, have you noticed that if Di Renjie is allowed to investigate the case so openly, it will be very dangerous for Di Renjie?"

Your Highness, Liu Hui and his son, and Wu Neng died in the prison. Although the prison guard who guarded the prison committed suicide in the end, saying that he was seeking revenge for his wife, the old minister did not see it that way."

"How do you say this?" Lu Chenglie's heart moved and he asked quickly.

"In the officialdom, there is a saying that when a tree falls, the hozens scatter. Let's just say that when a big tree falls, all the hozens that originally gathered on the big tree scatter. In the officialdom, that is to say, when the upright official falls, then

The petty officials and cronies who were attached to him have also disappeared without a trace. These political opponents will catch his previous mistakes and attack him." Cen Wenwen said with a wry smile: "I miss Liu.

Hui, his son, and Wu Neng have done all kinds of evil. Once someone knows that they are in prison, Your Highness, if you have enmity with these three people, will you risk your own life to assassinate them?"

"Definitely not." Lu Chenglie said without thinking. At this time, the overall situation has been decided, do you still need to take the risk to assassinate yourself? As long as you find a superior officer and tell the three people's crimes, it will be enough for you.

There is no need to go to such trouble when a great revenge has been avenged.
