The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2149 The higher the position, the greater the selfishness

Xuan Shijing knew how powerful Baiqisi was because he had been in close contact with Baiqisi's people.

The incident has just happened in such a short time, and it seems impossible that His Majesty knows exactly who the murderer is. The only remaining thing is that His Majesty has asked the people from Baiqisi to investigate. This is the biggest possibility.

Since Baiqisi was asked to investigate, why did he order Dali Temple to ask Di Renjie to investigate the case?
I'm afraid I have to give an explanation to the civil and military officials, and give myself an explanation, right?The case was seriously investigated by Dali Temple, and it couldn't be covered up. As soon as the incident happened, there was an uproar in Chang'an City. If you want to cover it up, you can't cover it up. He took out a copy and made a pie for people to watch.

If it is really found out, the mastermind behind it is someone from the royal family, and most of them will deal with it in a low-key manner and let it go.

As for the follow-up matter of His Majesty asking Di Renjie not to miss out in private, the meaning is very clear, let Dali Temple stop this matter temporarily, and if the case is not solved for a long time, His Majesty reprimanded the officials of Dali Temple in the court hall , and then continued to urge one or two, and after a long time, this matter will be over.

This can also be regarded as a means for His Majesty and Mui.

Who said the emperor can't have selfishness?Just sitting in that seat has the greatest power in hand and the greatest selfishness.

However, all of this is also Xuan Shijing's guess, if it is really not Li Xiang, but someone else, then he will have to bear the wrath of His Majesty.

As for the follow-up, it depends on His Majesty knowing who the mastermind behind it is.

The identity of the mastermind behind it determines whether the case will be dealt with openly or settled down.

"Yes, teacher, the student will rush back to Chang'an City in a short while. It has been so long, I believe the student's two subordinates should have found out something in Chang'an City." Di Renjie cupped his hands and said.

Xuan Shijing and Di Renjie chatted in the room for a long time, until Jin Yang entered the room with medicine, and Di Renjie bid farewell to the two of them.

Di Renjie, who had left the county government, hurried back to Chang'an City.

"I've been chatting with Lord Di for so long, what did you say?" Jin Yang said while sitting beside the bed, feeding Xuan Shijing medicine.

"Tell me a little bit about my opinion on this case, and why he received His Majesty's order to investigate this case." Xuan Shijing said.

"Except for Di Renjie, the Minister of the court, who else can investigate this case?" Jin Yang laughed.

"It's not the same, Ma'am, think about it. In the past, when His Majesty asked Dali Temple to solve a case, which case did not give Di Renjie an accurate time, saying that this case must be solved within a few days. If the case is within the specified time If it can't be solved, then whatever. Just now when Di Renjie was here, I asked him about the imperial decree. This time, His Majesty issued an decree for Di Renjie on such a big matter. The imperial decree didn't say how long it would take for Di Renjie to solve the case. Don't you think it's weird, ma'am?"

When Xuan Shijing mentioned this, Jin Yang paused, and swore Jin just raised his head slightly and drank the potion in the spoon.

Jin Yang came back to his senses and continued to feed Xuan Shijing the medicine.

"My husband means that Brother Huang already knows who is behind this." Jin Yang said: "The so-called investigation now is just a formality."

"We don't know about that. Anyway, we'll just wait and see. It's useless to worry so much." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "With all the time to worry, I might as well lie here and recuperate."

Even if he was worried, he couldn't do anything, at most he could think of it, talk to Di Renjie, and ask Di Renjie to be more careful when doing things.

Although Di Renjie has been an official for a long time, he is still too young, and his methods in the officialdom are much older than when he was an official just now. After Xuan Shijing has said what he should say, let Di Renjie do the rest. Figure it out for yourself.

At this time, no matter what, I have to try to believe that Di Renjie is not.

Always helping him in this way is not conducive to his growth. Xuan Shijing also wants to see how a generation of famous ministers have changed from a smart fool to a pillar of the country, so he can't give too much protection.

When necessary, it is still okay to mention or push.

Who made Di Renjie even use the title of "mentor".

Di Renjie was recommended by Xuan Shijing to start his career as an official in Chang'an City. Xuan Shijing can also be a "mentor".

After Di Renjie returned to Chang'an that day, he went straight to Dali Temple before changing his clothes.

"Fan Cheng, where is Zhengqing?" After Di Renjie arrived at Dali Temple, Fan Cheng was the only one there.

"I'm still inquiring about the news outside, and I heard that there are already some clues." Fan Cheng said.

"What did he say?" Di Renjie asked.

"Didn't your lord ask Zhengqing to go to the gates to the east of Chang'an City to inquire about it? Sure enough, some people saw a group of people riding horses, hurrying out of the city yesterday, and all of them were armed. The weapon he is carrying is the same as the one drawn on the drawings sent back by the adults," Fan Cheng said.

"That's right." Di Renjie said: "Duke Qi and His Royal Highness King E only decided to leave Chang'an for Zhuangzi temporarily that day, and the time between when they left Daozhengfang and when the assassins chased them was not the same. There will be too many, or the people behind, after knowing that Qi Guogong and His Royal Highness King E have left, they sent people to chase after them. , In this way, let Zhengqing continue to follow this line and chase down."

"Yes, my lord." Fan Cheng said.

"By the way, do you have any news from here?" Di Renjie asked.

"I haven't found much movement for the time being. Many officials in Chang'an City were a little surprised when they heard about it. They didn't expect that someone would attack His Highness King E and Duke Qi around Chang'an City." Fan Cheng Said: "It's Wang Hongyi who is walking around in Chang'an City recently, and I don't know what he wants to do."

"Wang Hongyi?" Di Renjie frowned: "I remember, he is the person who came to Junchen's side, right? Langya who went with Lai Junchen at the beginning, and later when Lai Junchen tried the Zheng family's case, he also assisted him."

Although he is an official, people like Wang Hongyi are basically people who stand in line in the eyes of everyone. He, Wang Hongyi, is the person who came to Junchen. This is a conclusion.

"Exactly, after Wang Hongyi found out about this, he had more fun in Chang'an City, walking around, inquiring about this, and about Li Xiang, King of Yue." Fan Cheng said: "My lord, you Look, this Wang Hongyi, shouldn't he also be careful?"
