Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 114
Di Renjie came to Beijing this time to be the prime minister, but he was not as peaceful as before. Emperor Wu was looking for talent all the year round and asked everyone to recommend him. Di Renjie was uncharacteristically recommended many people.For example, Zhang Jianzhi, the governor of Jingzhou, Yan Yanfan, the inspector, and Jinghui, the governor of Taizhou, also praised Yao Chong.

This meaning is very obvious. Zhang Jianzhi and Yan Yanfan are important figures in the Shenlong coup, and Di Renjie is already recommending Gu Nian's ministers.

Shen Sanwen knew a little about these people, and they belonged to the foolish and loyal type, who valued their status very much, but had no actual talent.Li Dan retreated, unwilling to be a prince and avoided a coup. After the Shenlong coup, Zhang Jianzhi and others supported Li Xian to ascend the throne, but Li Xian was unable to govern, and government affairs fell into the hands of powerful officials.Zhang Jianzhi and other five people enjoyed peace and tranquility, they were ignorant of government affairs, they fell into a disadvantage in the dispute with Wu Sansi, and most of them died on the way to exile.

Now that he knew that these people had ulterior motives, especially that he didn't have a good impression of Zhang Jianzhi, Shen Sanwen naturally had to stop him. Zhang Jianzhi was strongly recommended by Di Renjie, and he would be able to climb up to the position of prime minister in the future. It should not be underestimated. This is also a big deal Yes, Shen Sanwen decided to use his metaphysics.

Matters that cannot be explained but are particularly persistent are explained with metaphysics.

Shen Sanwen went to meet Emperor Wu.

Shen San asked: "Your Majesty, Zhang Jianzhi should not be used too much. Staying in Beijing will be harmful to Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu: "It's been a long time since you told me about the fate of the country and destiny, how do you think about it today?"

Shen San asked: "After all, Di Renjie is too observant of etiquette, and His Majesty knows it. Although the person recommended this time is able to do his best for the country, he also wholeheartedly supports Li and Tang's royal family. Zhang Jianzhi is a rebellious person, and he does not want to give up. You cannot be loyal to His Majesty."

Emperor Wu seemed to be listening to a joke, "Even if he has this heart and can devote himself to the community, I can tolerate him for a while."

Emperor Wu still promoted Zhang Jianzhi to Luozhou Sima, and did not stay in Beijing.When Zhang Jianzhi heard the news, he staggered to his post on the grounds of old age.

Ten days later, Emperor Wu asked again if he had the talent to secure the country.

Di Renjie: "Zhang Jian's article hits the current disadvantages. He has a lot of experience as an official, and he can make good suggestions on current affairs. He has the heart of serving the country and will definitely do his best for the Great Zhou. Why doesn't your majesty use it?"

Emperor Wu looked up Zhang Jianzhi's articles and qualifications again, left Zhang Jianzhi in Luoyang, and promoted Zhang Jianzhi to be Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Shen Sanwen entered the palace again.

"Your Majesty, this Jianzhi is really useless. Without Di Renjie's loyalty to the emperor, he has his eloquence. He has no strategy for governing the country. He can't handle the affairs of Jingzhou well. Only Di Renjie, who judges things based on articles alone, and believes in this villain, can imagine whether it is true. Your Majesty, this person must not be used."

Emperor Wu: "Since Di Aiqing recommended it, I will give Zhang Jianzhi this opportunity. If he has a new idea that really suits the current situation, the Ministry of Punishment will naturally do well."

Shen Sanwen had no temper at all.Emperor Wu wholeheartedly felt that he could control the situation, so he was at a disadvantage in the battle with Di Renjie, so there was nothing he could do.

The Ministry of Punishment had Yao Chong as its assistant, and Di Renjie wholeheartedly recommended him as Prime Minister. Yao Chong would definitely not let go of this golden thigh. It is difficult to prove Zhang Jianzhi's shortcomings.

If this makes Zhang Jianzhi's coup succeed and Li Xian ascends to the throne of God, will he compete with Li Dan again in the future?However, the relationship between Li Xian and the princess is not that deep, so should he and the princess carefully avoid Empress Wei's open and hidden arrows?
No, never bow to history.

It is still early now, Emperor Wu has not yet favored the Zhang brothers and ignored the government affairs, there are not a few people in the court who are loyal to Emperor Wu, not today, there is a lot of preparation time.

Zhang Jianzhi stayed in Luoyang smoothly.

Shen Sanwen went to see Lou Shide.

Shen Sanwen: "Master Lou is an important minister of the imperial court, and Sanwen has always been admired. You recommended Di Renjie, and he really deserves his name. It's just that Zhang Jian and others recommended by Di Renjie know little about Sanwen. I don't know if Master Lou may analyze it. two."

Lou Shide: "Since Di Renjie is the prime minister, it is reasonable and reasonable to answer His Majesty's questions. It doesn't matter whether Di Gong knows people or not. People's hearts can be influenced over time. Your majesty is the king of a country, and he is a model for the world. Naturally, he is confident that he can accept talents. Keep it for your own use. Even if you entered Luoyang with different original intentions, one day you will be able to correct your mentality. Your Majesty is not afraid of anyone, not to mention Zhang Jian's words and deeds are kind, and he has never said anything disrespectful to His Majesty. Can be aware of it. Just relying on the son-in-law's likes and dislikes to cut off a talent's motivation to make progress, wouldn't it chill the hearts of all the people in the world."

Shen San asked: "Three questions are taught."

After Di Renjie came to Beijing this time, he did one more thing.

That is the frequent impeachment of the "sycophants" in the court, including not only Lai Junchen, but also Lou Shide.

At the end of the morning court, Shen Sanwen found Di Renjie somewhat speechlessly.

Shen San asked: "Mr. Di, long time no see, but I don't know what happened to you?" How did you change yourself?

Di Renjie's impression of Shen Sanwen is not bad, he still has a sense of justice. "The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and the people's livelihood is rich, but there are still criminals who commit crimes and do evil. In the prosperous age, it is difficult to have peace."

Shen San asked: "What does Duke Di think of Master Lou?"

Di Renjie: "As the prime minister, I am obsequious and don't know how to advise your majesty. It's okay to be cautious in your duties, but you can't make any achievements in the capital. His Majesty trusts."

Shen San asked: "However, Master Lou regards Di Gong as Wei Zheng, speaks out, dares to advise, and can be strict with himself. He has repeatedly recommended Di Gong as Prime Minister to His Majesty."

Di Renjie: "It's impossible, this person has never recommended talents."

Shen San asked: "Master Lou is benevolent. There are few enemies in Beijing. The children of Lou's family never take credit for their actions. As prime ministers, they strictly discipline themselves and are not inferior to Duke Di. Master Lou has been fighting for many years, and his health is not as good as before. Your Majesty understands , call him back to Beijing to recuperate, if he goes out again, it will affect his lifespan, how can Di Gong feel at ease."

When Di Renjie heard this, he immediately confronted the saint and asked about it tactfully.

Di Renjie: "Your Majesty, Di Renjie was killed by a treacherous minister before, and he was demoted for a long time. His Majesty has reinstated him. I am very grateful. However, I heard people's words today, and someone recommended me many times. If there is such a thing, I will thank you in person. Express gratitude."

Emperor Wu was a little surprised: "Mr. Lou recommended it, but this matter is not known to the public, and Aiqing actually knows."

Di Renjie: "Today I impeach Lord Lou, someone warned me, but I can't believe it."

Emperor Wu's author obtained three memorials from Lou Shide, and each sentence was sincere, explaining Di Renjie's benefits to political affairs and how upright he was, which is a rare and clear stream.

After reading it, Di Renjie sighed, "I think I abide by courtesy and morality, and as a minister, I am worthy of the king's colleagues. Today, I know Lord Lou Shengde. I was tolerated by him but I didn't know it. I am not as far as he is!"
