Chapter 033 Unexpectedly Di Renjie
Princess Taiping got up early, and used breakfast, cuju, and bathing as usual. As soon as she finished her makeup, the saint sent an order to summon her to the palace and asked her to take Yan Wei with her. She was surprised how the saint knew about Yan Wei.
When she saw the two picture albums on the bedside, she immediately figured it out. Since Yan Wei left the Princess' Mansion last time, she sent a sum of money every ten days. She had made up for her year's losses in just over a month, and even had a lot more.
Usually, when she checked her face, the client usually posted people and paid money. For example, Yan Wei, there was the first man who could make money and was handsome, but this kid had gone back and never walked over again. I don’t know if the problem has been cured. This time it would be best if he could take the opportunity to recommend him to a saint.
She was about to invite Yan Wei to come and enter the palace together, but someone from the gatehouse reported to Yuchi Ming for a visit outside the mansion, saying that she was asking her to rescue Yan Wei. Princess Taiping didn't want to see Yuchi Ming, but heard that it was for Yan Wei, so she asked someone to invite him in.
"Impossible! Yan Wei has no official position, why does Lai Junchen arrest him?"
Yuchi Ming knelt on the ground and reported, "It was still because of business. This business was originally a blow by Wei Suizhongqiang, a subordinate of Lai Junchen. Later, he became the princess's guest and stopped paying dividends to Wei Suizhong. A few days ago, Wei Suizhong had come to his house to ask for money and Jiulang did not give it to him. This time he must have taken private revenge!"
Yuchi Ming knew that Wei Suizhong had falsely accused Yan Wei of "suggesting the saint's ill-telling plots". He was worried that Princess Taiping would be afraid of refusing to rescue him, so he found some reasons.
To Yuchi Ming's surprise, Princess Taiping was even tougher than he thought. She shook her hand and smashed the jade cup in front of her. "Lai Junchen, this dog, dared to challenge me. I will enter the palace to face the saint and ask the saint to issue an order to release Yan Wei."
How could Princess Taiping let Lai Junchen destroy the chess piece she had finally seen? She couldn't directly order Lai Junchen to release the person, so she rushed to the palace.
The carriage galloped along Dingding Street, and passed Duanmen and walked all the way to Yingtianmen before getting off the car and walked into Da Nei. He quickly walked through Mingtang, Foguang Temple to outside Zichen Hall, Princess Taiping wiped the sweat beads on her face with a veil, and then walked to the corridor of Zichen Hall with a step.
"Master Cao, can the saint be in the hall?"
Cao Keer bowed and replied, "The saint is in the hall to review the memorials, and the princess will go in."
Princess Taiping slowly walked into Zichen Hall bit by bit, and saw Wu Zetian dressed in a manly outfit, with a blue hairpin, a round-necked robe with black golden dragon pattern, and a thin layer of powder on her face covering the fine folds. Her long brows were painted darkly and penetrated her temples, making her look smarter, capable and younger than last night.
Wu Zetian looked down at the memorial on the desk and suddenly said: "Immediately allocate Beijing's food and grass to Jizhou to provide disaster relief, and then send a censor to supervise it. If there is any greedy person, he can be executed on the spot."
Next to Wu Zetian's long desk was a small table. A woman sat in front of the small table. She wore a soft-footed, white round-necked robe, with thin willow eyebrows and thin eyes, and a slim nose and a sandalwood mouth. Although she was not very beautiful, her temperament was elegant, as gentle as a white lotus.
The palace servant took the memorial that Wu Zetian had read and placed it on the small table. The woman's eyes inspected the memorial twice. After pondering for a moment, she wrote quickly. After holding the memorial, she said, "Send to Wenchangtai to execute!"
This woman is the famous Shangguan Wan'er. She is about the same age as Princess Taiping, but she has no children and is well maintained, which is much younger than Princess Taiping.
Many people mistakenly regard her as Wu Zetian's personal palace maid. In fact, this is not the case. Shangguan Wan'er has been in charge of the imperial edicts in the palace for many years, and the importance of the holy intention is above her pen. In addition, she is trusted by Wu Zetian, so she is a real inner minister.
Seeing a shadow swept past his eyes, Shangguan Wan'er looked up and saw Princess Taiping smiled slightly and turned her head and whispered to Wu Zetian: "Sage, the princess is here."
Wu Zetian looked up and looked at Princess Taiping who was close to her, "Why didn't you walk sound like a child?"
"Son, please see the saint!" Princess Taiping was blessed and sat directly beside Wu Zetian, looking like a little daughter, not the bright and decisive sister in the princess's mansion.
"The son minister came at a bad time, for fear of disturbing the saint's handling of government affairs."
"The peace is coming at the right time, and I am a little tired. Xiaoyue goes to get some fruits for the princess."
"I just had breakfast and was not hungry at all."
Wu Zetian smiled and said, "If you don't eat it, I and Wan'er will eat it too."
Qi Xiaoyue quickly returned, and the palace maids behind her each held a tray with freshly washed fruits in it.
"The princess is really time to come. The peaches in the palace have just ripened, big and sweet!"
"Then I have to try it, the saint uses it first!" Princess Taiping took the peach and sent it to Wu Zetian's mouth, but Wu Zetian said, "I can't bite it, I have enough sweet treasures (grapes) to eat."
"I'm not polite then! Why are you limping in Qi Shangyi?"
Qi Xiaoyue replied: "Go back to the princess, I accidentally sprained my feet on the steps this morning."
"Oh!" Princess Taiping pulled out her hairpin from her head and threw it under Qi Xiaoyue's feet, "Thank you for your hard work to serve the saint, I'll reward you!"
Qi Xiaoyue immediately bowed to the ground to thank him, and Princess Taiping said lightly: "I am very dedicated to serving the saints. This hairpin is worth the reward of this palace."
Shangguan Wan'er bit the peach with a small mouth, "The saint's mother is kind and filial to her daughter is really admirable."
"I am really ashamed of the words of the Attorney. I am far less than you share the burden with the saints."
Wu Zetian waved his hand and said, "Don't say these disappointing people, have you brought the people I asked you to bring?"
"Is the saint talking about Yan Wei? Don't mention that guy anymore. I originally thought he was a diligent worker, but I knew that he was arrested by the Central Chief early this morning, so he must have violated the law of heaven."
Wu Zetian's face suddenly shook with a smile and shouted outside the hall: "Cao Ke'er!"
Cao Ke'er entered the hall and asked, "What are the saints' instructions?"
Wu Zetian said strongly: "You go to the Censorate and ask Lai Junchen to send Yan Wei to me all the best!"
----
Yan Wei looked at the old man in front of him in disbelief, "You said you are Di Ren... Duke Di? Impossible! Impossible!"
Di Renjie asked with a smile: "Why don't you believe it? Are you thinking that no one will overturn the case when I am in prison?"
Yan Wei waved his hands repeatedly and said, "It is important for me to overturn the case, but how could the country Di be imprisoned if he is so a god? He is still in prison for the Censorate!"
He felt that all his TV was in vain. Detective Di Renjie was actually imprisoned by the cruel official Lai Junchen, and his worldview was almost collapsed.
Wei Suizhong laughed outside the cage and said, "Yan Wei now knows that I am waiting for you. I will tell you clearly that this old man is Guo Guomao Di, as if he is fake!"
Yan Wei shook his head and still couldn't believe it, "What crime did he commit?"
Wei Suizhong said: "Like you, you have committed a serious crime."
Yan Wei slapped the cage hard, "Impossible! It must be your fault!"
"Don't you have eyes? See if he has any injuries."
Yan Wei's eyes patrolled Di Renjie, but he did not see any scars. Di Renjie nodded and said, "I am indeed not a traitor."
"So, have you really committed the crime of treason?"
"No!"
Yan Wei asked in confusion: "Then why do you admit it?"
Di Renjie replied seriously: "Like you, I'm afraid of being tortured!"
(Thank you for Chi Jue's huge reward, Dark Huzi, you are here!)
(Note 1 After Di Renjie was arrested by Lai Junchen, he happily admitted all the charges Lai Junchen had woven for him because of fear of torture. 2 The name of Princess Taiping cannot be verified. Li Lingyue has been denied. Taiping is not just a title, but also a Taoist name she used since she was eight years old. It is also appropriate for Wu Zetian to call her Taiping.)
