Chapter Nineteen Di Renjie
Chapter 19 Di Renjie
Wu Zetian's words were like thunder, and it exploded in Wu Sansi's ears, making him stiff and his mind squirted, and his face was incredible.
Not only Wu Sansi didn’t believe it, but Wu Chengsi and the Wu family’s children, who would believe it?
They all looked like they saw the old sow climbing a tree.
Li Longji not only insulted Wu Yizong, but also insulted Wu Sansi, Wu Chengsi and all the Wu family's children. Logically speaking, Wu Sansi asked Wu Zetian to take charge of them on the grounds that the Wu family's children were humiliated, and Wu Zetian would definitely be accurate. However, Wu Zetian's words of praise for Li Longji were deafening, and they really couldn't believe it was true.
"How could this be like this?" Li Dan didn't believe it, and looked confused.
When Wu Sansi was humiliated by the Wu family and asked Wu Zetian to take charge of them, Li Dan's heart was in his throat, and he was worried about Li Longji.
"What's wrong? Why didn't Your Majesty take charge of the Wu family?" Many ministers were also confused. You looked at me, I looked at you, and only saw the confusion on the other person's face.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!"
"What is it called "good chanting and praying"? That's it!"
Some ministers also had quick brains and thoughts turned out to understand the reason. They praised Li Longji's move.
Why didn’t Wu Zetian win over Wu Sansi and the humiliated Wu family’s children, but instead praised Li Longji?
One reason is that this is her biological grandson, Li Longji. The nephew is a relative, but is there a grandson?
Which grandmother doesn’t care about her grandson and doesn’t speak for her? Even if her grandson is unreasonable, her grandmother will try every means to excuse her grandson.
Secondly, because Li Longji's words were reasonable, although his question was very irritating, it was the truth, and everyone had to admit that it was true. Even Wu Zetian also agreed with this.
Wu Zetian is a well-known sensible person in history. There is a story about the Kapok robe that best illustrates her character.
The kapok robe was the clothes of Sakyamuni. Later, it was passed down as a treasure of Buddhism and was brought from India to Middle Earth by Master Bodhidharma, becoming a treasure of inheritance of Chinese Buddhism. When the Fifth Patriarch Hongren was about to break up, Buddhism split, and Hongren passed the kapok robe to the Sixth Patriarch Huineng. In the end, the kapok robe was in the hands of Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian invited Huineng's disciples to ask if they still have any emotions and six desires? These monks pretended to be noble and used various wonderful words to whitewash themselves, saying that they had no emotions and six desires, and dressed up as saints.
Among them, a monk named Zhishen said a truth, saying, "In life, there are desires, and death, there are no desires." This means that I am still alive and I still have seven emotions and six desires.
Wu Zetian thought that he had told the truth, so he secretly gave the Kapok robe to Zhishen and told Zhishen not to disclose the news, otherwise there would be a disaster for death.
This story well illustrates Wu Zetian's character. She knows very well who is telling the truth and who is telling lies.
People in the world only know that Wu Zetian ruled the world and gave her the pride. How many people know how much hardship she suffered and how many difficulties she suffered? Several times she almost lost her head. Li Longji's words reminded her of many past events, and her eyes were a little wet.
Third, because of Li Longji's questioning, he even gave her a flattery.
Li Longji scolded Wu Sansi and put money on her face, which was just robbing Wu Zetian of his contributions. This is also the truth. The Wu family has today because of Wu Zetian, not the Wu family's children. How could Wu Zetian be unhappy?
Fourth, because the one who made a fuss for her was her respected grandson Li Longji. How could she not accept Li Longji's "filial piety"?
"My de Renjie asked Your Majesty that what the King of Chu said is true, and you also asked Your Majesty to strictly discipline the Wu family's children." Just as the ministers were stunned, they saw an official wearing a purple shirt, a seven-beam crown, a jade belt, a goldfish bag, and a jade scepter, step forward and report to Wu Zetian.
It’s not someone else, it’s Di Renjie who strongly opposes Wu Zetian’s nephew as the crown prince.
Who is Di Renjie? He knew very well that after Li Longji's questioning, the Wu family's children were disgraced, which was a good opportunity to beat the dog in the water.
"Yeah." Wu Zetian was a little surprised. Di Renjie was mixed with something.
"Your Majesty, what the country's elder said is very reasonable." An official immediately agreed and said, "The Wu family's children rely on His Majesty's power to act as a blessing and oppress all officials. The officials dare not speak out. He also asked His Majesty to strictly control the Wu family's children."
Wu Zetian was very respectful to Di Renjie and called him "the old man" but not famous.
"Please strictly control the Wu family's children." Suddenly, a roar sounded, like thunder, and in unison, most of the officials knelt down.
"This..." Wu Zetian's eyes almost fell out, looking in disbelief.
These officials knelt on the ground and said nothing, but looked angry and looked at the Wu family's children with extremely bad expressions.
Wu Zetian knew at a glance that these officials must have been bullied very badly by the Wu family's children, otherwise they would not have been so angry.
Most officials were bullied by the Wu family's children, and the Wu family's children were too much, which would make her lose her foundation.
Wu Zetian knew very well what the Wu family’s children were, but she needed these people to consolidate her foundation, so she turned a blind eye to her.
"Please be the master of ours." These officials kowtowed and asked for their orders.
Wu Zetian was also moved by the public's anger and so many officials asked for his orders.
"Die Renjie, you really know how to seize the opportunity. You are worthy of being a cunning person. It's amazing to have a sentence that makes the situation so great!" Li Longji glanced at Di Renjie with great meaning.
Di Renjie's light words gave the situation an overwhelming advantage, which is indeed amazing.
"Grandma, think about it, they dare to stop the emperor's heir, what else can they dare not do?" Li Longji knew that if he added fire at this time, Wu Zetian would definitely be angry. He pointed at Wu Yi and said, "He was even more crazy, and he kept saying that he wanted to beat the prince's tutor and the prince's tutor's tutor's tutor's tutor's tutor's tutor's tutor's tutor's tutor's tutor's tutor's tutor's tutor's tutor's tutor's tutor's tutor's tutor's tutor's tutor'."
"Take it serious?" Sure enough, Wu Zetian's eyes suddenly widened, his eyes were sharp, staring at Wu Yizong.
"I..." Wu Yizong felt that his eyes were like a sharp sword, and he wanted to pierce his heart, and he was speechless and could not speak.
"Is this happening?" Wu Zetian's face became even more ugly, and he glanced at the ministers and asked.
The Wu family's children and their minions were all silent and did not dare to say anything.
"Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true. We have seen it with our own eyes." Many ministers testified in unison.
"Oh, Wu Yizong, who gave you the courage? How dare you beat the prince's tutor? How dare you beat the prince's tutor?" Wu Zetian's face was gloomy, as if water was about to drip out of water.
The prince's tutor and the prince's young tutor are the face of the emperor's heir Li Dan. If they were slapped by Emperor Wu Yizong, it would be that Li Dan was slapped in the face. From then on, Li Dan could no longer raise his head and was no longer ashamed to be a human being.
Wu Zetian was not very happy with Li Dan, but as a mother, she would not let Li Dan suffer such an insult, and she had to be angry.
Which mother can watch her son be fooled and have no face to be a human being?
"Grandmother, you have to take charge of your grandson. He has murderous intentions against your grandson." Of course, Li Longji wanted to add insult to the injustice, and he made further fuss at this critical moment.
"Murderous intent?" Wu Zetian's eyes shot wildly, with murderous intent, pointed at Wu Yizong and shouted: "Wu Yizong, Wu Yizong, you are so brave! You dare to have murderous intent on my grandson. I will forgive you!"
The shouting was like thunder, which made Wu Yizong's face pale without a trace of blood. It was as if he had been buried in the soil, and his whole body was trembling. He wanted to ask for forgiveness, but he couldn't speak. He had to look at Wu Sansi and beg Wu Sansi to help.
At this time, Wu Sansi did not dare to get into trouble. He was afraid of self-protection. He did not care about Wu Yizong, pursing his lips tightly, and did not dare to speak.
