Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

The atmosphere in the Manna Hall was slightly dull.

Although these things have not happened yet, after all, the title of the Tang Dynasty has been revoked.

This is stealing the country!

But if you take a closer look, you will see that the identity of this country thief is quite subtle. He served two generations of Emperors of the Tang Dynasty.

Is it a matter of state? Family matters? What's going on in the world?

The Zhenguan ministers felt depressed and at a loss.

After all, the Wu girl is only more than ten years old and is still ignorant. How can it be strange?

Li Shimin was no longer proud. Guangmu said casually, but in his eyes there was a never-ending flash of swords and shadows.

The royal family changes in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties are the best example. Whenever the royal family name changes, a massacre of the previous dynasty's clan will inevitably follow.

Appointing ruthless officials and supporting the children with the surname Wu, Di Renjie started out as a rebel. You can imagine what the court was like at that time.

With a sigh, Li Shimin felt that the saying that later generations sighed became more and more appropriate:

This is really true. I don't feel bad for selling my father's land.

I saw that my husband and all the ministers were not in high spirits - especially my brother, whose originally round face was almost wrinkled into an orange, which was quite conspicuous.

Then Queen Changsun suddenly realized:

In the past, her husband would often share his experiences with her with great interest every three months.

Thousands of changes in later generations, the rise and fall of descendants for hundreds of generations, occasionally interspersed with some witticisms such as Jiangdong's Hundred Thousand Emperors.

But the most important thing is the joy from the heart for those Zhenguan generals.

The names of Li Jing, Su Dingfang, Liu Rengui, Wang Xuance, etc. were all remembered by Empress Changsun.

The ending of the old ministers also inadvertently caught the ears of Empress Changsun. She was thankful that Du Ruhui had avoided death, but also laughed bitterly at the failed rebellion between Hou Junji and Li Chengqian.

But the strange thing is that I never heard my husband say anything about his elder brother, grandson Wuji.

Empress Changsun did not believe that her brother could remain silent forever. If according to later generations, she died ten years after her death, and her husband was nostalgic for the old love when her honor and favor were temporarily withdrawn, her comeback was almost certain.

It's just that now, listening to this... junior's teasing, it seems that it is definitely not well-intentioned.

The pheasant slaves teamed up with the Wu family girls to fight against their brothers, could it be...

Just relying on her husband's avoidance and her brother's expression, Empress Changsun had already made a guess.

Sighing secretly, it would be better to wait until he invites his brother to come to the palace for dinner later.

At that moment, Empress Changsun smiled and said:

This Di Renjie is a man who is adaptable and good at doing things. He is also from Taiyuan. His Majesty can find him based on this.

Li Shimin couldn’t laugh or cry:

Most of them are still children...that's all. Just look back and look for them.

As for the admission of rebellion... After pondering for a while, he remembered the similar statement of Tang Han that was ridiculed by later generations, but he didn't expect that even the cruel methods of officials were the same.

But when I think about it again, the Wu family finally went to Fengchan Taishan because their son came to power, and I suddenly felt a little depressed:

If you don't admit to treason, you will probably die in prison.

In this case, it is better to accept it first, and then find a way to find someone to go to the Wu... girl to complain about your grievances.

And if this daughter of the Wu family does not want cruel officials and relatives to control the government, she will definitely protect Di Renjie.

Li Shimin just didn't disdain to use these power struggles and power-playing tactics, but it's not that he didn't understand them.

Speaking of this, Li Shimin felt a little bit resentful:

The Dali Temple has a backlog of more than 17,000 cases, which shows the laziness in political affairs!

Seventeen thousand cases were settled in a year without any unjust, false or wrongful convictions. In Li Shimin's opinion, there were only two possibilities. Either Di Renjie was really a prodigy in solving cases, or most of these backlogged cases were not difficult and complicated cases.

Based on reality, it is more likely to be both.

After getting a glimpse of his son's methods of governing the country, Li Shimin could only say that he was not very satisfied.

Beside him, Yan Lide also pulled his brother's sleeve with a narrow smile: He personally promoted a famous minister.

Yan Liben concentrated on painting without squinting:

Time waits for no one. What he wants to do now is to become a master of Tang Dynasty painting and a close minister of Zhenguan. He has no interest in enduring the hardship for twenty years.

So what if his career improved at that time? I don’t know what condition my body and bones are in, so I might as well fight hard in Zhenguan.

His Majesty has become the emperor of the ages, and he himself has become the Mount Tai of gongbi paintings. Isn't that a hundred times better than the so-called deposed envoy?

[The person who imprisoned Di Renjie was Lai Junchen, a famous cruel official during the Wu and Zhou Dynasty.

The Wu Zhou period ruled by Wu Zetian can be regarded as a veritable politics of cruel officials, and Lai Junchen was the sharpest knife.

He was born as a local ruffian, but he managed to save his life because of his good false accusations and good informing in prison. Eventually, he was heard by Wu Zetian, who made an exception and was awarded the post of censor in vain.

When handling cases, Kill the good clan, kill the good family, and destroy the family. Factory guards who belonged to the Ming Dynasty had to shout Fang Gong when they saw him.

After his death, the whole of Luoyang celebrated his death. After he was beheaded in the downtown area, his body was cut into pieces by the people and only the bones remained. This was Lai Junchen.

Therefore, Di Renjie, who fell into his hands, readily confessed to all his crimes.

Yes, I just want to rebel, but I just don’t like that stinky bitch!

Therefore, Lai Junchen didn't press too much, and directly made a Death Apology Form for Di Renjie to sign. After that, he went through the process quickly, and the Qiu Queen beheading was finalized on the same day, saving him from a sentence.

Di Renjie was already a death row prisoner, so Lai Junchen went back to have a party with the children of the Wu family:

What he said about solving cases like a god and what he cared about the people, he turned out to be a weakling and easy to manipulate.

Di Renjie saw that he had been sentenced to death and the jailer's guard was lax, so he said miserably: I am going to die. Can I feel more comfortable before I die and ask my son to come over and give me some summer clothes and quilts?

There is no reason to disagree when facing a death row prisoner, so Di Renjie's son Di Yuanguang made a smooth trip to the prison and took away the winter quilt that he had previously sent to his father.

After Di Yuanguang returned, he tore apart his father's quilt without saying anything. As expected, there was a handwritten letter accusing him of injustice. This was the pen and ink that Lao Di had spent great efforts to borrow from the jailer, and was written on the torn-out letter. The clothes were lined and then re-sewn into quilts before they were finally sent out.

Xiao Di simply went straight to the palace with her father's autographed letter to face Wu Zetian and complain.

It was only then that the Great Sage Zetian felt that something was fishy. After thinking about it, the old lady rarely moved, and ordered to personally examine the case.

This court case is also very simple:

Wu Zhao: Are you plotting rebellion? Lao Di: I don’t know.

Wu Zhao: You have already signed a pledge to plead guilty! Lao Di: What nonsense! I don't recognize it.

Then Wu Zetian also understood that after all, she was the one who single-handedly promoted Lai Junchen, and she knew exactly what his methods were.

But at that time, Wu Zhou had just changed his country name less than a year ago. Even though Lai Junchen was a jackal, to Wu Zetian, he was still a good dog that could tear the flesh and blood of Li Tang Yi Zhong.

In the end, Di Renjie was demoted openly and secretly, and was exempted from the death penalty, but he was demoted to Peng Zeling.

At this point, Lao Di successfully escaped from the whirlpool of Luoyang and temporarily left the capital to live happily.

But the aftermath of this incident is not so easy to calm down, or in other words, Wu Zetian's ten-year campaign to seize the country has gradually shown signs of backlash.

A total of seven people were falsely accused together with Lao Di. Lao Di successfully escaped, and the other six people were also exempted from the death penalty and were also demoted and released.

One of them was named Cui Xuanli. He had an eldest nephew, Huo Xian, who was neither learned nor skilled. He relied on his studies to falsely accuse Junchen and became the governor. Seeing that his uncle was acquitted, this eldest nephew might be trying to show his loyalty. In order to show his face to Wu Zetian and seek promotion, he spoke loudly to the old lady in front of all the civil and military officials:

Your Majesty, if you don't convict my uncle and chop him to death, I will crash to death here!

After saying that, he hit his head on the ground and blood flowed all over the ground. Later, Cui Xuanli still escaped death and was released, but Jiang Xia did not return to Beijing until he died of old age.

Of course Huo Xian was not killed. After all, how could he get promoted and make a fortune if he was killed?

But for the next year, he always went to court with a green bandage on his head, and he even raised his official hat to expose the bandage.

This is the aftermath of ruthless politics.

On the other side, the old lady’s massive campaign to become the emperor eventually spread to the people.

In the three consecutive years after Wu Zhou established the dynasty, auspicious signs sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Today, the state capital presented a stone with a white background and red stripes, saying that this big stone is loyal to His Majesty.

Tomorrow, another county caught a turtle with the words Emperor for Eternity written on its belly, saying that it showed Wu Zhou's eternal foundation.

It wasn't until the financial affairs of three provinces and six ministries jointly petitioned the old lady that Wu Zetian gave the order, auspiciously accepting it, but there would be no reward, so the people gave up.

At this time in Wuzhou, although the city of Luoyang, the capital of gods, was in turmoil with cruel officials killing people, states and counties all over the world were choosing auspicious people in order to get rich instantly.

But the old lady didn't care. After all, she finally became the emperor.

Her happiness has just begun. 】

In the Manna Hall, Li Shimin raised his head slightly, not surprised at all that his prediction was correct.

However, Li Shimin felt that Tang Dynasty could confidently say about the achievements of the early Tang Dynasty mentioned in the tourist screen before: Tang Dynasty established its country with force.

But now looking at the cruelty on the inside and the auspiciousness on the outside, Li Shimin felt uninterested from the bottom of his heart.

Because this situation suddenly reminded him of Sima Jin, who was disliked by later generations.

The powerful families could only see their own petty profits and compete with each other. In the end, the barbarians took advantage and remained in chaos for hundreds of years.

The son squandered his inheritance, and this complicated daughter-in-law probably also inherited the legacy of Zhenguan. In the end, Wu Zhou was brought up in such a disgraceful way.

Shaking his head and looking at the characters described in the light curtain, Li Shimin chuckled:

Huo Xian is a wonderful man. If he doesn't become an eunuch, it would be a waste of his talent.

Du Ruhui was dumbfounded. In his heart, he felt that it was fortunate that there was no servant next to him at the moment, otherwise he would probably be aggrieved.

Queen Changsun’s disdain is very straightforward:

Why do you need to use this villain? He is just dirtying the palace.

A loyal and pure person will be remembered for thousands of years. A villain like this will still be laughed at by others even after thousands of years.
