The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2021 Summon Dali Temple Officials

Now that I have obtained His Majesty's will, it is time to settle the matter.

After Lin'an left Dali Temple, Di Renjie began to worry about all the officials and servants of Dali Temple and gathered in the front yard of Dali Temple.

The people in Dali Temple didn't know what happened yet, but after receiving Di Renjie's order, they could only follow Di Renjie's instructions. Anyway, Di Renjie, the Minister of Dali Temple, has been tossing a lot since he took office.

Just let him toss around, there are people above him who can keep him, and they are small officials, just follow him, eat meat if they have meat, and drink soup if they have soup, as long as they can get along, and they don't force anything.

Di Renjie changed into his official uniform and came to the front yard, holding the imperial decree that Li Chengqian gave him in his hand. After Lin'an left, Di Renjie had already read the imperial decree, and it was as expected, Your Majesty It's time to attack the Wang family.

That's right, the Wang family has done so many things, all of which have violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and there are a few things that are directly provoking His Majesty's bottom line. Now it is normal for His Majesty to clean up the Wang family.

Di Renjie stood on the steps and looked at the people in Dali Temple below. There were more than 100 officials and servants.

It is definitely not enough for these people to copy the Wang family, but Di Renjie has the holy decree to mobilize the five hundred Jinwu guards in Chang'an City to help Dali Temple search the Wang family.

"Colleagues, do you still remember the matter about the Wang family that I asked you to investigate?" Di Renjie stood on the steps and looked at the people below and said, "Although I don't know if all of you have uncovered the case about the Wang family. , but as far as the case in my hands is now, the certified evidence obtained, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the Wang family, that is a serious crime of ransacking the family and beheading. I did not get His Majesty's order before, but today, His Majesty's decree , According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the Wang family is investigated. Now, the Wang family, a giant, will eventually be shaken by our Dali Temple. As officials of the Dali Temple, it is our responsibility to uphold the laws of the Tang Dynasty. It is our responsibility to investigate the Wang family. It is our honor, if you say it, your face will be bright! After so many years, which official dares to do something to the big family? Even if they break the law and discipline, they do such things as occupying other people's property, oppressing the people, and robbing the women of the people in private. Son, but, because they are family members, most of the officials are in the mud, but our Dali Temple wants to manage it! Dare to manage it! Moreover, we have succeeded! In the future history books, our deeds will definitely be left, and we are not afraid of power , don’t be afraid of the aristocratic family, and deal with them according to the law! This is His Majesty’s imperial decree.”

Di Renjie raised the imperial decree in his hand and showed it to the people standing below.

"Look, here is His Majesty's jade seal!" Di Renjie said: "With His Majesty backing us, this case is going to be closed, so let's go ahead and do it! There is no need to be afraid."

"Li Xiu!" Di Renjie called out.

"Xiaguan is here!" Li Xiu stood up from the crowd and clapped his hands in response.

"You take the sign given by your Majesty, go to the Jinwu Guard camp, mobilize five hundred Jinwu Guards, and surround the Wang family's house. No one who is panting is allowed to be released. Even if you fly a pigeon, you will shoot it. Come down." Di Renjie said.

"Yes! I'm taking orders!" Li Xiu stepped forward, took the sign from Di Renjie, and left Dali Temple for the camp of the Jinwu Guard.

Li Xiu can also be regarded as one of Di Renjie's confidantes. He is a scholar from Dongshan County Literary Academy. excavated.

Di Renjie's side really needs such a trustworthy and reliable person.

After all, Dali Temple has offended many people in its handling of cases. Most of the cases it handles are difficult cases. Many cases are either related to officials or have something to do with nobles in Chang'an City. Can it not attract people's hatred?

People hate him, so no one dares to be by Di Renjie's side and get too close to him, but the students from Dongshan County Academy are all bachelors, so they are not afraid of those aristocratic families.

People from those aristocratic families want to use their family members to threaten others. Their family members are all in Dongshan County Zhuangzi. Can they make trouble?
There are many capable people living in Dongshan County, especially those great Confucian scholars. If you offend anyone, you can’t offend them.

A knife can kill, but a pen can kill one's heart!

Their pens are the ones that kill without blood.

The condition of the academy is so good now that many great Confucian scholars are staying in the academy, and they are about to start writing books after teaching.

The aristocratic family did not dare to offend people like them.

And what about the students from the academy?But they are really their students, and they are also disciples of the emperor. Are they ready to face verbal criticism when dealing with their family members?
When the students of the Faculty of Liberal Arts were attending classes in the academy, they were instilled by these great Confucianists with the concepts of "wealth and honor cannot be promiscuous, poverty cannot be moved, and might cannot be subdued. This is called a man of virtue".

When it comes to officialdom, he can maintain his true heart and is not afraid of power.

It is gold, and it will always shine. Now is the time for the students who came out of the academy two years ago to start to shine.

"As for the rest, go to the Wang's house with me." Di Renjie said: "The guards of Dali Temple searched the Wang's house. As for the officials, after they got there, they performed their duties. The records that should be recorded should be charged with crimes." Most of you should have read the case files of the Wang family, and this time, when you go to the Wang family, you should also bring those files with you, and you will be convicted on the spot!"

This matter can't be delayed, the emperor means that it should be done as quickly as possible, the more swiftly the better.

"My lord, there are people from the palace outside who want to see you." The porter outside ran in and said.

"Please come in." Di Renjie said.

A few guards from the palace came in from outside, and there was a prison cart behind it, and Wang Sheng, who had been locked in the palace and never showed up, was locked in the prison cart.

Li Chengqian didn't want Wang Sheng to die, so the people in the palace naturally took good care of him. There were people guarding Wang Sheng at twelve hours a day. Even those people here did not violate Li Chengqian's will.

"Lord Di, according to His Majesty's order, I will send someone here for you." The leading guard cupped his hands and said, "Here is also a letter from His Majesty, please have a look."

After finishing speaking, the guard took out a letter from his pocket and presented it to Di Renjie with both hands.

Di Renjie walked down the steps and took Li Chengqian's letter with both hands.

"I'm sorry." Di Renjie said.
