Chapter 29 The Ministry of War
The investigation of the case is both a danger and an opportunity for Su Dawei.
Li Zhi used the investigation to suppress him.
If the murderer can be found in this princess case, Li Zhi will have no reason to take back his real position.
Su Dawei was equivalent to entering a real official position from the fourth rank in one fell swoop.
This is certainly a breakthrough.
Even if Li Zhi was willing to suppress him, the "rope" tied to Su Dawei's body would gradually loosen.
...
After coming out of the Daming Palace, Su Dawei took his horse and looked at Li Yifu and others who were riding in the carriage not far away. Cold sweat faintly emerged from behind.
Just now in Zichen Hall, under the calm surface, it was actually full of swords and sword shadows.
Li Yi's mansion just started attacking again and wanted to dig a hole for him again.
Pei Lian wanted to find someone to take the blame, while Li Yifu was full of malice.
No one knew at that time whether Li Zhi would be furious by Princess Gaoyang's death. If the emperor was furious, Su Dawei would be the first to bear the brunt.
The power of heaven is unpredictable.
Fortunately, Li Zhi did not lose his mind because of his anger. He just stuffed Su Dawei into Dali Temple and ordered him to solve the case with Pei Lian.
Crisis and crisis coexist.
It's past, it's an opportunity.
If you can't get through, it's a disaster.
"Su Shaoqing."
Dali Temple Minister Pei Lian strode towards Su Dawei and bowed to him to say hello.
Although Li Zhicai issued an edict and had not issued a formal appointment, Pei Lian had changed his words to Su Dawei.
"Just just now, I had to ask Su Shaoqing to help you. You have the ability to investigate the case, Chang'an is full of people. In this case, you are the last person who has contacted Princess Gaoyang. Su Shaoqing should participate in it in terms of emotion and reason, so please don't blame Shaoqing."
Pei Lian was very polite to Su Dawei.
I don’t know if this kind of politeness is about Wu Meiniang behind Su Dawei, or whether she is concerned about Su Dawei’s military background, or if she wants Su Dawei to investigate the case carefully.
Youdao means not to hit people with smiley faces.
When Pei Lian lowered his posture like this, Su Dawei couldn't continue to be cold-faced. He clasped his fists to Pei Lian and said, "The temple minister is so serious, it's all for business."
"What Su Shaoqing said is the most important thing."
Pei Lian's eyes turned and changed his words to Su Dawei: "I wonder where Shaoqing is going to start the case of Princess Gaoyang?"
"I was just like you. I heard about this case and was summoned to the palace. I have no clue at all. Is the case handled by Wannian County now under management? Have the files been sent to Dali Temple? Who is the on-site coroner? What is the survey result?"
Pei Lian opened his mouth and said that his level was not low on political power and conspiracy.
But when it comes to this case, he is really blinded now.
He had to smile bitterly and said, "I can't answer what you asked yet. When I return to Dali Temple, I will reply to you again, okay?"
"Okay, please take a step first, I'll arrive later."
"Okay, then I'll wait for Su Shaoqing in Dali Temple."
Pei Lian nodded to Su Dawei, and with the help of his servant, he boarded the carriage and gradually left.
Su Dawei stood in the distance and thought for a moment.
From the current point of view, Li Zhi never gave up until he found out the murderer.
Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong and others watched the changes, and even deliberately helped the fire and muddy the water.
Pei Lian wants to pass the blame.
Each has its own abacus.
Princess Gaoyang, a princess who had just returned to Chang'an from the demoted Bazhou, had no power or power in Chang'an and had no intersection with any force. Who did it do?
What is the purpose and significance?
Su Dawei couldn't figure it out.
Shaking his head, turning his horse over, and just about to catch up with Pei Lian and return to Dali Temple, he suddenly heard someone calling him.
He turned around and looked at the way, and saw the eunuch Wang Fulai, jogging and chasing him out.
"Su Langjun, Su Langjun."
Su Dawei stood by the road with his horse, waiting for Wang Fu to come and run to him in a daze. He watched him breathe there, and wanted to say that he couldn't get up again after a breath.
"Don't worry, wait until you breathe well before you talk."
Wang Fulai is also an old acquaintance. He became a monk at Ganye Temple with Wu Meiniang, and more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye.
The eunuch is now also gray in his temples.
However, because I followed Wu Meiniang right now, he is very powerful and doesn't need to come out for casual things himself.
"Su Langjun."
Wang Fulai glanced around and leaned closer, and whispered in Su Dawei's ear: "The queen asked Su Shuai when will he go to see her?"
Su Dawei pondered for a moment: "Help me return to Empress Wu, Princess Gaoyang's case is very urgent. I will let me take care of the business first and wait until the matter is done, and then enter the palace to see her."
"Okay, I will bring it to the queen if you say that to you."
A hint of surprise flashed in Wang Fulai's eyes, and then he covered it up well, and said to Su Dawei again: "Mr. Langjun, the queen said, if you don't want to see her now, don't forget your situation."
"Situation?"
"The queen is involuntarily in many things."
"I see."
Su Dawei bowed to Wang Fulai and said, "Tell my sister for me, and I will say Ami knows."
Wang Fulai bowed slightly to Su Dawei and took a few steps back.
Watching Su Dawei turn over and leave.
Since the last case, after Su Dawei was sent by Li Zhi to Chang'an County to continue to be a bad commander, Su Dawei did not enter the palace again and asked to see Wu Mei alone.
First, to avoid suspicion.
Secondly, the last incident was caused by Helan Minzhi and Guo Xingzhen beside Wu Mei.
With Wu Meiniang's intelligence, how could she not know the ins and outs of it?
Su Dawei was using this method to tell Sister Mei Niang that he was unhappy.
Wu Meiniang knew his personality and he didn't like to cause trouble.
Especially those imposed on him by others.
He endured it this time, but what about the next time?
If Helan Minzhi, Guo Xingzhen, and Li Yifu still want to drag him into the whirlpool, then he will no longer be patient.
In fact, Li Yifu just now asked Su Dawei and Pei Lian to try Princess Gaoyang's case.
Su Dawei's heart had a touch of murderous intent.
He is not a minister of peace, and his military achievements are obtained by every sword and a shot.
He is not blind for the methods used by Li Yifu.
Whether it is suppressing Li Zhi or for other reasons.
After repeated provocation, this has already touched Su Dawei's reverse scale.
To stay away from trouble, the best way is to solve the problem.
Riding on the war horse, the light flashed in Su Dawei's eyes.
Many thoughts came to my mind.
Wang Fu said something interesting just now, and he relayed Wu Meiniang's words, so that Su Dawei would not forget his situation.
What is your situation?
Because he had Wu Meiniang's chrome mark on his body, he was deeply afraid and wary of Li Zhi?
Or is it that if you sail against the current, you will have new dangers?
In short, everything has been dangerous signals recently.
Su Dawei has been in the army for a long time and has an inexplicable intuition about the crisis.
There was a vague feeling in my heart that reminded him.
Danger is approaching itself.
If it is still the same as before, I am afraid it will be overturned by huge waves.
...
The Daming Palace is located outside the north of Chang'an City, with the Royal Forbidden Garden in the north, the shore of the Wei River, the north of Chang'an City in the south, and the northeast corner of the palace in the west.
A mountain that symbolizes the dragon vein travels north from Fanchuan in southwest of Chang'an, covering 60 miles. When you get here, it is exactly the "Dragon Head". Because of its high terrain, it is known as the Dragon Head Head Head Head.
The Dragon Head was originally the Sanjiu Neizha in the north of Daxing City of Sui Dynasty. It was the Guande Hall, which was the place where the archery ceremony was held. The Tang Dynasty inherited this function.
Danfeng Gate is the south gate of the main gate of the Daming Palace. In front of the gate is Danfeng Gate Street, which is 176 meters wide. To the north of Danfeng Gate are Hanyuan Hall, Xuanzheng Hall, Zichen Hall, Penglai Hall, Hanliang Hall, Xuanwu Hall, etc. The north of Danfeng Gate are the north and south central axis composed of Hanyuan Hall, Xuanzheng Hall, Zichen Hall, Penglai Hall, Hanliang Hall, Xuanwu Hall, etc. Most of the other buildings in the palace are distributed along this axis.
Hanyuan Hall, Xuanzheng Hall, and Zichen Hall are the three main halls of Daming Palace, and the main hall is Hanyuan Hall.
There are two provinces on the left and right sides of Xuanzheng Hall, two provinces in the lower dynasties, as well as two halls in Hongwen and Hongshi.
On the east and west sides of the axis, there is a longitudinal street, which is formed by opening the side doors on three horizontal palace walls.
Su Dawei came out of Danfeng Gate, and Guangzhaifang and Yishanfang were on both sides.
He wanted to enter the Tai Chi Palace from Chengtian Gate through Laitingfang and Yongchangfang.
Since Li Zhi moved to the Daming Palace, the original officials and yamen of the three provinces and six ministries have also begun to move one after another.
According to the plan, the three provinces will be located near the Xuanzheng Hall of Tai Chi Palace.
At present, the Secretariat and Menxia Province have basically moved to the Daming Palace.
There is only the Shangshu Province, which is in charge of the six ministries, because the yamen below has a large number of institutions and has not been completely relocated.
Six of the yamen are mainly near Chengtian Gate and Jiade Gate.
What Su Dawei is looking for now is six divisions.
He originally wanted to go directly to Dali Temple or even to the Ministry of Justice. No matter how bad he was, he would go to Wannian County to inquire about Princess Gaoyang’s case.
But after talking to Wang Fu, he changed his mind.
The yamen he was looking for was the Ministry of War of the Six Ministry of War under the Secretariat.
The Minister of War of Li Zhi Dynasty was Cui Dunli in the early stage, but because this man came from the Cui family of Boling, he was removed after Li Zhi monopolized the power.
Later, the Minister of War was Ren Yaxiang.
Ren Yaxiang served as the guru of Yanran in his early years, followed Su Dingfang to pacify the Turkic Shaboluo Khan, and later served as the Minister of War.
He was appointed as the prime minister in the fourth year of Xianqing and was awarded the title of the third rank of the Secretariat.
He was in the prime minister for only two years and then served as the general manager of the Marine Road in the Wujiang Road to conquer Goguryeo.
He died in the army in the second year of Longshuo.
Li Zhi posthumously awarded him the Grand Governor of Jingzhou and gave him the posthumous title Jing.
After becoming the prime minister, Li Ji, the British Duke, was appointed as the Minister of War.
However, after Li Jie conquered Goguryeo, Li Zhi changed his appointment as the Minister of War on the grounds that the Minister of War could not be kept empty, and he changed his appointment as the Minister of War.
At first, Li Zhi thought of using the famous general Cheng Mingzhen.
But Cheng Mingzhen also died in the second year of Longshuo.
The court posthumously awarded the title of General of the Right Guard and was posthumously named "Lie".
The next person Li Zhi considered is Zheng Rentai.
Regarding the generals in the court, almost few of them are still alive, and there are even fewer older than Zheng Rentai.
As early as when Li Shimin raised an army in Jinyang, Zheng Rentai surrendered to King Li Shimin of Qin.
During the Wude period [Biquge 5200 www.bqg5200.me], he was ordered to guard the Changchun Palace and participate in the war of unity to eliminate Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang, Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande.
In the ninth year of Wude, he participated in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, was appointed as a guerrilla general, and was appointed as the government commander.
During the Zhenguan period, he was transferred to the General of the Central Army of the Zuowei Yi Mansion, and the Palace City was safe.
General Zhongwu was released from the outside and deputy general manager of the Shengzhou Road marching, and was prepared for the Turks.
He participated in the attack on Goguryeo, was appointed as the Shangzhu Kingdom, the General of Zuo Tun Guard, and the Duke of Tong'an County.
In the fourth year of Yonghui, he was appointed as the governor of Yinqing Guanglu and Lingyan Prefectures, and stationed in the western border.
In the second year of Xianqing, he became the General of the Right Wu Guard.
He led Xue Rengui to attack the nine tribes of Tiel, resisted the Western Turkic Khan Ashinahelu, appointed as the governor of Liangzhou, and accepted Tuyuhun Murongnuo's bowl to guard against Tubo.
Li Zhi originally wanted to mobilize him to return to the court and take charge of the Ministry of War.
However, the war on the Western Front suddenly became tight, and the court could only order him to continue to serve as the governor of Liangzhou and the military commander of the six states of Yiguasha, Gansu.
In the third year of Longshuo, that is, last year.
Zheng Rentai died in an official house at the age of 63. He was posthumously awarded the title of the governor of Daizhou, with the posthumous title of Xiang, and was buried with Zhaoling.
There were no two backup candidates in a row.
