In less than a moment, only one person was seen running out of the palace. The person who came was none other than the young eunuch Gao Lishi. When Gao Lishi saw Zhao Liang, he said respectfully, "Master Di, you are finally back. The emperor has been waiting for a long time. Please come with me as soon as possible." "Eunuch Gao, did the emperor lose his temper today?" Gao Lishi was thoughtful. As soon as he heard Zhao Liang's words, he knew that he wanted to inquire about the news, but Gao Lishi knew what to say and what not to say. He smiled and said, "We don't know whether the emperor has lost his temper or not, Mr. Di." You will know it when you meet the emperor." Zhao Liang thought to himself, "You little naughty boy, what else should I ask you for when I meet the emperor?" Hearing what Gao Lishi said, Zhao Liang stopped asking around and followed Gao Lishi directly to the palace. Li Zhi and Wu Zetian were waiting for Zhao Liang in the Guanlan Hall. When he arrived at the entrance of Guanlan Hall, Gao Lishi knelt down and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Queen Qi, Di Renjie, the Acting Shaoqing of Dali Temple, is here to bring you." A thick female voice came from the Guanlan Hall, "Let him come in. "The person who spoke was none other than Queen Wu Zetian. As soon as Wu Zetian finished speaking, there was another violent cough. "Ahem, cough, cough," "Your Majesty, be careful and don't get up. Just leave the matter to my concubine." "Then,,, cough, cough,,, yes,,, thank you, Queen." Zhao Liang pretended to be cautious. After entering the hall, he clasped his fists and said loudly, "Di Renjie, the Acting Young Minister of Dali Temple, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor and Queen." Before Li Zhi could speak, Wu Zetian said, "Di Renjie, the Fuzhou Navy warship was robbed. "How are you doing with your investigation?" Zhao Liang looked up and saw two people surrounded by a group of palace maids and guards in the middle of the hall. Emperor Li Zhi was lying on the dragon couch, and Queen Wu Zetian was sitting beside the dragon couch, looking like a loving couple. appearance. "Queen Qi, I have found the real culprit. The culprit is the General of Fusang Kingdom. He sent troops to sneak into the Tang Dynasty and hijacked warships in the waters of Fuzhou. Fortunately, God blessed the Eighth Prince and someone rescued His Highness, thus avoiding the disaster. But the other officers and soldiers died at the hands of the Japanese pirates. " "I have heard from the Eighth Prince that this matter is quite strange. Fusang has always been a tributary of the Tang Dynasty, and Tang envoys are sent to the Tang Dynasty to study every year. Why would it offend the Celestial Empire? What happened in Shangguo is really unbelievable. " Zhao Liang naturally knew the reason. All this was done by the unknown general of Fuso State. This person must be targeting him, but he couldn't do anything about it. Explain to Li Zhi and Wu Zetian. "Queen, the Fusang people have always been insidious and cunning. They sent envoys from the Tang Dynasty just to learn the advanced technology and culture of the Tang Dynasty for their own use, and use what they learned to deal with us. This time they hijacked the Tang warship, Fusang The general of the country did it." When Wu Zetian heard this, he frowned and showed no anger. Zhao Liang could faintly feel that the kingly aura in her body was more than ten times stronger than that of Li Zhi lying next to him. Zhao Liang couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Wu Zetian stood up and said, "It's really hateful. On the surface, these Fusang people look docile, courteous and courteous, but they are all fake faces." Zhao Liang responded, "Yes, what the Queen said is true." Wu Zetian asked again, "You caught me Where is the real murderer?" "He is in Dali Temple." "I want to interrogate this person overnight to see why the General of Fuso State targeted Datang in this way." Zhao Liang said, "Empress, you can't interrogate this person. "Oh, that's why." "This man has committed suicide by taking poison out of fear of crime." Wu Zetian snorted coldly, "This is an advantage for him." Zhao Liang said to Li Zhi, "Your Majesty, Di Renjie did not handle the case well and delayed it." "I hope your majesty will forgive me." Li Zhi lay on the dragon bed and said intermittently, "Ahem, I know this case is very difficult, my dear," Wu Zetian saw that Li Zhi was speaking so hard. , and advised, "Your Majesty, if your dragon body is not well, don't worry about it. Leave these small things to my concubine." "Ahem, cough, okay, then I'll do it,, I'll do it, Queen." "Di Renjie, although you The case was solved, but it was postponed for a long time. If the merits and demerits are equal, why not go to Dali Temple and become the chief minister? " Wu Zetian demoted Zhao Liang's official position from the fourth rank to the seventh rank in one sentence. If it were left to someone else, I'm afraid he would be disappointed. When love suddenly arises, resentment will also arise. Zhao Liang is a cultivator of immortals, and his fame and wealth are as fleeting as a passing cloud. He said calmly, "I obey the order." Wu Zetian admired Zhao Liang very much in her heart, but she did not care about Li. General Zhao Liang felt something was wrong when he was promoted from seventh-rank master Bo to fourth-rank Shaoqing, so one person was suddenly promoted to a higher position., it is easy to breed complacency and arrogance, but judging from Zhao Liang's reaction, this person does not take pleasure in things and does not feel sorry for himself. He can definitely be used for great purposes and is an amazing talent. "Then you go back to Dali Temple to run your errands. If anything happens, the Emperor and I will give you a decree." Zhao Liang handed over his hands and said, "I have to leave." After Zhao Liang left, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian started discussing. "Your Majesty, what do you think of Di Renjie?" "This man is ambitious, rigorous and resourceful. He is a rare talent." "If he can make good use of this man, he will definitely become a pillar of the Tang Dynasty." "Then why does the queen still say "I want to demote Di Renjie from Shaoqing to Chief Bo." "I am doing this to dampen his spirit. It is not good for young people to be promoted too quickly." "The Queen's consideration is reasonable." I was surprised that he didn't feel disappointed at all. He seemed to be listening to other people's affairs. His popularity and open-mindedness will be of great use in the future. " "The queen is really good at recognizing talents. What should I do next?" Let's leave Di Renjie to hang out in Dali Temple for a while and see how he performs during this period. If he can work conscientiously and as always, we will directly promote him to the rank of Young Minister of Dali Temple. " "The Queen's move is very appropriate, I am very pleased. , cough cough cough,." After Li Zhi finished speaking, he coughed violently again. Zhao Liang left the palace gate and returned to the inn. Li Yuanfang and others were very happy to see that he had returned safely. When Li Yuanfang met, he asked, "Master, how are you? Has the emperor promoted you to an official position again?" Zhao Liang joked, "Yes, you have been promoted again, to the title of Lord Bo of Dali Temple." How did Li Yuanfang know the rank and size of the official position? , thinking that what Zhao Liang said was true, he clapped his hands and said happily, "Great, Master, you are so awesome, you have been promoted again." Zeng Tai asked from the side with a puzzled look on his face, "Master Di, you used to be from the Fourth How come the rank of Shaoqing of Dali Temple is now the master of Dali Temple of rank seven? Isn't this a demotion? How can it be a promotion? " When Li Yuanfang heard this, he couldn't help but became anxious, "Sir, are you being promoted or demoted? " Zhao Liang waved his hands indifferently and said indifferently, "Nothing about being promoted or demoted, fame and fortune are like floating clouds to me." Zeng Tai said with great admiration when he saw that Zhao Liang was so calm and showed no signs of sadness. I really admire Mr. Di for being so upright and honest. " Li Yuanfang said angrily, "I went to the emperor to settle the score. We went through all kinds of hardships, and the young master went through life and death to catch the real culprit. It's okay not to be promoted. I'm so angry at you for demoting your official position." "Okay, okay, why don't you go to the emperor to settle the account? Please let me worry about it." Hu Youde saw that Zhao Liang and the others were confused and said, "Boss. , let's not talk in the inn, go back to the house quickly." "Okay, let's go and see what kind of house your kid bought me." Zhao Liang and the other three followed Hu Youde out of the inn door. Go to Taohuafang near Nannan City in Chengnan. After crossing the Luohe Bridge to the south of Luoyang City, they walked for another quarter of an hour before arriving at the door of a large house. They saw two large stone lions guarding the door, each with a ferocious face and an angry look, looking majestic. There is a plaque hanging high on the lintel in front of the mansion, with two big characters "Di Mansion" written on it. The plaque is newly made, with a layer of red paint on the background. The two big characters "Di Mansion" are gilded, making it look very dazzling. Li Yuanfang saw it, nodded and said, "Fat Hu, this gate is really grand, even more grand than the Di Mansion Courtyard in Bingzhou." Hu Youde said proudly, "That's necessary, don't even look at who chose this. "Zhao Liang saw that Hu Youde was getting carried away, so he poured cold water on it and said, "If you say you are fat, you will gasp. Take us in and take a look. Don't look at it like a donkey dung egg." Hu Youde defended unconvinced. , "Boss, go in and take a look. I bought this at a big price. This house was the residence of Yang Yong, the deposed prince of the previous dynasty. The layout and momentum are definitely extraordinary." When Zhao Liang heard this, he felt a little interesting and said , "You can actually find your way around this place, come on, go in and have a look." When everyone entered the house, they saw that the mansion occupies a very large area, with an area of ??more than twenty acres. Although it is not a beautiful building, it is not a beautiful house. There are also carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and pavilions are connected to each other, and pavilions are connected to each other. Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai were both born and raised in Bingzhou. They had never seen such a large house before, and their eyes were a little dazzled and they looked dumbfounded. Zhao Liang has never seen anything like thisThe house was naturally not worth mentioning in his eyes. He just smiled and looked at it without saying a word. Hu Youde just looked at Zhao Liang without saying a word. He didn't know whether he was satisfied or not, so he asked, "Boss, what do you think of this house?" Zhao Liang shrugged and replied, "It's okay, so-so. Let's just make do with it." Hu Youde said in surprise, "No, you can't look down on such a good house. Boss, you really have high standards." "Sir, I think this house is really good. It's better than ours in Bingzhou Di. It¡¯s a big house. If you buy this house, you must have spent a lot of money.¡± Hu Youde said proudly, ¡°That¡¯s a hundred thousand taels of money.¡± ¡°What.¡± Zhao Liang and the three of them all had surprised expressions. Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai were shocked by the one hundred thousand taels, while Zhao Liang was surprised that Hu Youde had so much money. This book was first published on 17K Novel Network.
