"I think I've heard about this too, and it seems that the Imperial Master also went there in the end?"
"Then what you heard is wrong with me. I heard that when Duke Di was resisted, the Imperial Master rushed over!"
"Oh, if there were more people like Imperial Master and Di Gong, why would we, the people of the Tang Dynasty, have to worry about living a bad life?"
"Yes, the Imperial Master has a humerus. Who dares to say that he is disloyal? I just hope that he can live longer. It is said that Sun Simiao lived to be 170 years old. With the merits of the Imperial Master, it is not difficult to live to be 200 years old, right? Haha Ha ha!"
"Okay, it won't be interesting if the Imperial Master is involved. You see, a good official like Mr. Di is rare."
"Back then, when he served as the governor of Ningzhou, he did not pick up any debris on the roads there and did not close his doors at night. The people were grateful for his kindness and erected a monument to his virtue and governance."
"The governors who were re-elected later were deeply moved when they saw the inscription. None of them dared to exploit the people!"
Speaking of this, someone whispered mysteriously: "Hey, I heard a rumor that my master, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is a god, the king of hell who is in charge of life and death..."
"And Mr. Dee is his judge. He judges government affairs during the day and decides cases in the underworld at night. I think it may be true..."
Everyone talked about many people's deeds and legends, and the more they talked, the more bizarre they became.
Next to everyone, a slightly fat sixty-year-old man was listening to their words with a dumbfounded look.
This person was the one they had just come back from, the Di Gong they had just admired and talked about, Di Renjie!
Since he was transferred to deal with Li Zhen's rebellion, he caught up with traitors arresting innocent people as soon as he went there.
For this reason, he had a big fight with those treacherous ministers, and even let Li Yuanfang kill one of them in public!
As a result, the people were saved, but he was charged with the crime of privately killing important ministers.
Fortunately, within a few days, the storm was suppressed by Li Yunxiao, and Li Dan, who succeeded him, said that the matter would be investigated strictly. After so many years of investigation, no one said anything.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that if he kills him, he must be guilty of a heinous crime. People say so, is it still wrong?
Besides, even if Li Dan wanted to deal with Di Renjie, would he be happy if the emperor suppressed those things because he obviously appreciated Di Renjie?
Who is Li Dan facing? Not this imperial master?
And Di Renjie is also a person who does practical things and doesn't care about his own safety.
He has done countless things in the past few years, and therefore, his position as prime minister is like a lonely boat floating in the sea.
If it weren't for Li Dan's support, I'm afraid he, the prime minister, would have been demoted long ago.
Originally, he was far away in Bianzhou and was dealing with some religious matters to confuse the people. He never thought that Wu Zhao would suddenly summon him back.
Di Renjie knew very well what Wu Zhao looked like, and he didn't know whether coming back would be a blessing or a curse.
Di Renjie hurried back from outside and heard the news on the way.
Facing the people to punish those who corrupt and bend the law, and he is also a high official, the same prime minister as him, Zong Qinke!
Di Renjie was very happy to hear that Zong Qinke was demoted and his family was exiled. At the same time, he also began to notice that Wu Zhao's thinking seemed to have changed.
There was a lot of rectification in it, so he quickly responded to the call and hurried back.
As for the rest of the people, Di Renjie paid some attention to them. They were all clowns and bastards who brought shame to the court.
"Prime Minister Di, you are fine."
Di Renjie was silently meditating when he suddenly heard someone calling from behind, which startled him!
Such a close distance and such a silent approach made his mental defense almost collapse.
The main reason is that he has been attacked all year round. Although Li Yuanfang is by his side, he is currently dealing with some things left behind and will not arrive until a little later.
Looking back, Di Renjie shook his head helplessly: "Emperor Master, can you not use your elusive ability on me, Di?
"Don't you know, Master Emperor, that if you scare someone, you will scare them to death..."
Li Yunxiao smiled lightly and said: "If this can scare you to death, how can you fight those corrupt officials and traitorous ministers who rebel against the party?"
"Treacherous ministers rebel against the party..." Di Renjie felt mixed emotions in his heart when he heard these four words.
Half a year ago, that woman was still the Queen Mother, but now she is the Queen Mother.
As a minister of the Tang Dynasty, is it unjust to serve the man who usurped the country?
Li Yunxiao looked at his face and couldn't help but ask: "I'm thinking, how can I assist this female emperor to live up to Li Tang, and will there be any betrayal of loyalty?"
Di Renjie was outside and didn't know what the actual situation was. He couldn't see clearly. He didn't see Li Dan give up his throne in person, so he wouldn't admit it completely.
Di Renjie said with some confusion: "Master Emperor's guess is good. That's what I was thinking about. Di is also very confused. You and Taizong are close friends, as close as brothers. This action should be under your instruction, right?"
Li Yunxiao shook his head: "Li Dan volunteered. There are so many things involved, I'm afraid not even one day would be enough."
"Let's go, let's talk while we walk."
With that said, Li Yunxiao and Di Renjie walked slowly toward the palace.
On the way, Li Yunxiao looked Di Renjie up and down and said jokingly: "You have gained a lot of weight in the past few decades..."
Di Renjie sighed: "Old man, I am an official in my generation, and as we age, we are blessed with fatness. The emperor must have never experienced the feeling of being remembered every day, right? If Di doesn't eat more, how can he make up for it?"
Li Yunxiao knew that he was making fun of him, so he smiled lightly and said: "I've been attacked a lot more than you, but now that I'm famous, they can't find me, so there are a lot less."
Di Renjie did not answer, but pondered for a long time and murmured: "The emperor's master has acquiesced to your majesty now. Is it because of the prophecy or because of the Xuantian sect?"
Li Yunxiao turned his head and looked at Di Renjie calmly.
"This is how to get along with smart people. If you are not smart, I will look down on you, but if you are too smart, you will easily get involved in right and wrong."
"If I follow the path and enter the game, I will die without returning. You'd better not be suspicious of this."
Di Renjie nodded: "I understand."
After the words fell, the two fell into silence.
After a while, Di Renjie looked at the flow of people coming and going, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Withered mulberry trees know the wind in the sky, and sea water knows the cold weather. No matter what, after Your Majesty succeeds to the throne, all the talented people will go to Chang'an or Luoyang, become dirty and degenerate, Lingnan or the wasteland. She is indeed qualified to sit in this position."
Li Yunxiao patted Di Renjie on the shoulder and said calmly: "The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty did not depend on foolish loyalty. You are much better than many people because you know what is truly right and what is wrong."
"Now you have another place to use, and over the years, I have observed that you have thought of all the people in the world, praying for the welfare of the world and peace of the people, and asking for peace of mind. You keep this thing. If you encounter death someday, you will It’s open.”
After he finished speaking, Li Yunxiao took out a tips bag and handed it to Di Renjie.
Di Renjie looked at the kit in his hand and smiled helplessly.
With his intelligence, he could naturally figure out that the other party knew that he was in trouble, but he couldn't say more.
"Then Di, thank you very much, Master..."
