Because Uncle Di Guo was caught in the act, he reported to the Prince of Chu that he was secretly suffering from a serious disease. On the next morning, he was criticized and educated by Emperor Ming and Yuan in the palace, and was fined one year in salary and demoted two levels.
It doesn't matter if his salary is reduced or demoted. After all, there are concubines and sisters in the palace, and his father is a general, so it is not difficult to be promoted.
However, Emperor Ming Yuan did not express his anger at anyone else, and only punished Uncle Di Guo. Di Weiming did not even reprimand him a word or two.
However, the Di family soon realized that they had offended Chu Shoufu.
Chu's first assistant also "revenges his personal revenge" for the first time, dragging Di Weiming to the presence of the Supreme Emperor, saying that he and Uncle Di Guo framed Grandma Xi for suffering from a serious illness. The purpose was to isolate the Prince of Chu's palace, freeze the prince, and shake the foundation of the Northern Tang Dynasty.
The Supreme Emperor began to say that he had nothing to do, but Chu Shoufu's words were so fierce that his blood pressure soared and his blood vessels burst, as if the Supreme Emperor and Di Weiming were going to die in the Qiankun Palace if they didn't give an explanation.
The Supreme Emperor was in a dilemma, so he said to Di Weiming: "Look, it is indeed your father and son who did something wrong in this matter. You must give an explanation to everyone no matter what."
Di Weiming was furious and indignant in his heart. He thought that even if he wanted to be blamed for this matter, he shouldn't be asked about it. After all, it was Di Yun's fault.
But now the Supreme Emperor directly said that the father and son did something wrong and dragged him in.
He knelt down angrily, "Your Majesty, I didn't know about this at first. Like everyone else, I only found out about it from the court. As for supporting Di Yun, I was afraid that the evil illness from five years ago would come back again, so I never thought of investigating it carefully.
, will cause harm to the reputation of the Prince of Chu. The old minister has absolutely no other purpose. As for freezing the prince and shaking the foundation of the country, it is not even mentionable. But the old minister is indeed reckless this time. The old minister is willing to be punished. If the chief minister feels that, he must
If you put the head on my neck, you can breathe a sigh of relief for Grandma Xi, so just take it, I will never complain."
What he said was to point out that Chu Shoufu went to war just to please his grandma, and it was a public revenge for private revenge.
The Supreme Emperor frowned, "Why do you always say you want to kill someone? Come on, it's such a big deal. Just explain it clearly."
Di Weiming said resolutely: "Please ask the Supreme Emperor to convict you, otherwise I will not be able to explain to you."
The Supreme Emperor glanced at Chu Shoufu and said displeasedly: "Look at you, you are still so impulsive at your age. Are you really willing to force the general to hit a pillar and die?"
Chu Shoufu blushed and said, "Your Majesty, Grandma Xi has served you for most of her life, and now she is cursed with a serious disease. If your old master doesn't stand up for her, who else will stand up for her? And if he says he is not selfish, then he is not selfish? Why?
Not to mention that other people have contracted a serious disease, but to say that the people around the prince have contracted a serious disease? No one would believe me even if I didn’t go after the prince.”
After hearing this, Di Weiming really wanted to kill Chu Shoufu. People outside had all kinds of suspicions that King An was targeting the prince, but no one dared to say a word in front of the emperor.
He remembered that the Supreme Emperor was friendly with Chu Shoufu. If the Supreme Emperor heard this, it would be a great disadvantage to King An, so he said excitedly: "Your Majesty, you know for sure that I have no such idea. Are you willing to use your head as a guarantee?
Please also ask the Supreme Emperor to issue an order to kill the old minister to show his loyalty to the prince."
The Supreme Emperor waved his hand, "Okay, don't say anything about beheading. It won't happen. You two have been with Gu for many years. After thinking about it, Gu and his son did not consider this matter carefully and did not investigate carefully. The country
My uncle has been demoted two levels in a row, which is regarded as punishment. The general was relieved of his duties as the head coach of the Ghost Guard because he was responsible for failing to supervise his son. Anyway, the Ghost Guard doesn't have much effect now. You should still contribute to the court in a down-to-earth manner.
Bar."
Di Weiming could hardly believe his ears.
He was so easily dismissed from the position of coach of the Ghost Guards? And it sounds like the Emperor is so tolerant and kind, not willing to punish anyone.
