Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty-Five: Running Dog Cooking

Yang Zaisi is not stupid. It would be a lie to say that he does not have the intention to curry favor with the Wei family.

Yang Zaisi is such a shameless person.

But this time, Yang Zaisi directly gave the Wei family general a military force. This was not that he was stupid, but that he clearly understood the importance of fame.

Now, the general trend of public opinion has been established. From Jiangnan to Hebei, people are talking about this scene where Di Renjie is not afraid of violence and kills Wu Sansi. Everyone praises Di Renjie for being loyal and honest. At this critical moment, anyone who sings this opposite may be pushed to the forefront and finally to pieces.

People's words are terrifying, and sometimes, they are even more terrifying than the Wei family.

In this gray world, everyone is dirty, but this does not prevent it. In people's imagination, the world is black and white. The so-called black and white world means that when everyone believes that Di Renjie is the incarnation of justice, then all those who attempt to stand opposite him will naturally become treacherous ministers. Therefore, such people must be unfaithful and unrighteous, such people must be unpretentious in their private lives, such people must have sons without an asshole, such people must be traitors.

This is the most primitive idea of ​​a person. This idea may make him laugh, but the power created by this ridiculous idea is irresistible to anyone. It can make a person or destroy a person completely.

Yang Zaisi's reputation is not good at all. Once he jumps out to support the Wei family, it will be a big shot. At that time, even if he is thick-skinned, he still dares to stay in the three provinces. Do you dare to stay in the three provinces? If you offend the Wei family, at worst, you can make peace with your relationship in the future. At worst, you can give the Wei family more respect in political affairs and offend the people of the world, and then you will completely cut off the room for chaos.

People always have to look at the long term, which is why the gentry and family are often unwilling to rely on the powerful and nobles of the dynasty, because the powerful and nobles are only temporary, but the interests of the family are long-term. Today, they gain benefits because they cling to you, and tomorrow they will be the emperor and the ministers of the emperor. When your reputation is already unheard of. The new emperor doesn't mind, and he will use you to establish his own wisdom.

Why did Di Renjie be so popular? After several ups and downs in the officialdom, he was always reused in the end. To put it bluntly, it was his fame. Fame is for a lifetime, and his power is only for a while. As long as he has fame, a local official on Jiangnan Road can go straight to the three provinces tomorrow. However, a notorious person, even if he clings to power for a while, may cause death tomorrow.

Thinking about the people who bet on Wu Zetian, how many of them have escaped? Now, Empress Wei has really not let Yang Zaisi risk his life to run to be a pawn for her.

Yang Zaisi's attitude is actually the attitude of most people. You can carry a sedan chair for your Wei family, and you can even secretly flatter and slap in a few words, but it will make everyone take the blame for the world. This is another matter.

Seeing that no one agreed, Wei Hongmin felt empty and he became increasingly unsure of this matter. Now the Wei family has gained a foothold in Chang'an. If he had enough name, it would be great to induce His Majesty to eradicate Qin Shaoyou, but now even the people in the three provinces cannot speak, let alone others.

He had no choice but to say, "This matter needs to be considered for the long term and be clear before it is said."

After a few words, the internal meeting ended. Wei Hongmin stood up long and went to Changle Palace to see Empress Wei without saying a word.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Empress Wei was very careful about the matter of the outer court. Whenever there was any disturbance, news would be heard.

Wu Sansi was killed, which made her very surprised. Before she could understand what was going on, she became anxious and uneasy after a few hours.

Wu Sansi was placed in Luoyang by her. The purpose is naturally to check and balance Qin Shaoyou, but now she has been directly beheaded. The dignified prince will kill him at any time...

Empress Wei was waiting for Wei Hongmin to come. She knew that Wei Hongmin must have started to call everyone to discuss. When the discussion was over, she would come to see the guests immediately. So she waited around and finally came to report that Mr. Wei was here.

"Prince."

Wei Hongmin came in carefully.

This Wei family's general really shared the worries of the Wei family. At that time, Qin Shaoyou was assassinated, which made the Wei family passive. It was precisely because Wei Hongmin returned to the capital that the Wei family even more prosperous.

Empress Wei has a little more respect than before, and she is no longer a slave.

Wei Hongmin was particularly nervous today. After the incident happened, he felt that something was wrong. This meeting of the prime ministers was on the surface, but in fact, it was Wei Hongmin testing the reactions of each family, trying to see if the Wei family had reached the point of covering the sky. However... the result was that he was very disappointed. Even Yang Zaisi, who was most optimistic about, was still like this. Although some of the others did not say a word, Wei Hongmin understood that the Wei family had just temporarily held the Chaogang, and was still far away from the way they wanted. Although those old foxes were all compliments on the surface, there were actually few who could truly trust them.

It was precisely because of this uneasy thought that Wei Hongmin saluted Empress Wei and said, "Empress, Wu Sansi is gone."

Ruo Hanshuang behind Wei: "Of course I know about this matter. Qin Shaoyou is indeed a good method. This use of a knife to kill people not only helped him solve the problem of Wu Sansi, but also made his reputation in Henan Province even more prosperous..."

Empress Wei’s worries were obviously not just Wu Sansi. The latter sentence was the real key.

Even the prince would kill him. If the court did not deal with it, what would the officials of Henan Prefecture think? What would the powerful and people of Henan Prefecture think? Qin Shaoyou was the chief executive of Henan Prefecture, and now he is taking advantage of the situation. From then on, the Henan Prefecture has really been devoted to Qin Shaoyou. If the prince doesn't accept him, even the prince may be willing to be accomplices and give Qin Shaoyou the one who is in charge of the front and back. Of course, he will get the benefits of Qin Shaoyou. Let me ask, is there anyone who dares to disobey him?

Then Qin Shaoyou... could just go to the emperor of Henan Prefecture.

Wei Hongmin sighed and said, "The discussions of the three provinces..."

Empress Wei waved her hand: "You don't have to say it, you don't have to say it. I also know that those old foxes are afraid that they will not dare to criticize this matter."

Wei Hongmin nodded and said, "That's true, Di Renjie's reputation... Alas... At the beginning, I was thinking that Di Renjie had a bad temperament and had always been unclear with Cui Feng. Once he was asked to follow him to Chang'an, it would definitely bring a lot of trouble to our Wei family. Then he repeatedly begged the Empress to drive this person out, but he never expected that this person was used by Qin Shaoyou, and now he caught us off guard. As the rumors are everywhere today, they are all applauding Di Renjie and calling Di Renjie. Wouldn't it mean that Wu Sansi is more innocent and unforgivable? In this way, any reaction in the court may cause trouble. Empress..."

Empress Wei sighed quietly, as if she was no longer full of confidence. In fact, she understood Wei Hongmin's words very well. If the court followed the people's hearts, the Wei family would inevitably cause criticism. Even the princes who usually expressed good intentions to the Wei family would jump out and object, affirming Wu Sansi, who was just pouring dirt on Di Renjie. Whoever poured dirt on Di Renjie would be the evildoer in the eyes of the people of the world.

But what if he applauded Di Renjie? In this way, Wu Sansi would have more than death, but no one with a discerning eye knew about it. Wu Sansi has been very close to the Wei family recently. Wu Sansi was arranged in Luoyang, and it was obvious that he wanted to be a lackey of the Wei family and to make things difficult for Qin Shaoyou. As a result, such a lackey would be fine if he died, but in the end, the Wei family would follow him on the steps. What would the Wei family feel like?

What will those who want to cling to the Wei family think?

"The root of the problem lies in the hearts of the people." Empress Wei sighed, she brushed her sleeves and sat on a couch with a faint look: "So what to do next, Ziyi, let's talk about it."

Wei Hongmin said: "If you really want to pursue this matter, you will never be able to avoid Di Renjie. If you want to punish Qin Shaoyou, you must first punish Di Renjie's crime, and it is very likely that if Di Renjie is punished, Qin Shaoyou can get away with it. The purpose of the empress is to deal with Qin Shaoyou, not Di Renjie. If it is understandable that the world is so bad that it is so bad that it will be in trouble. But in the end, it will be a big deal for the world. Just take one Di Renjie, then it will be a loss. Now that we have reached this point, we have to hand over the case to Yang Zaisi and let Yang Zaisi come and deal with it in the end. Our Wei family will not have to be involved."

In fact, letting Yang Zaisilai is just to let Yang Zaisi characterize Wu Sansi. Wei Hongmin means that this matter can only be cut off the mess quickly and settled quickly. Wu Sansi died, but he could only die in vain. The best result of the Wei family is to stay out of trouble.

Empress Wei seemed a little angry and wanted to make a harsh word, but thought it would be useless, so she had to sigh again: "It seems that this is the only way."
