Chapter 9 Power Center

Di Renjie packed up his paper and pen and prepared to leave the straight room and go home.

Although it was almost a quarter of an hour before, the room had already been empty, and he was the last of the six temple masters.

Even though I had no more palms and questions.

Today is the last day of the Lantern Festival, and I am in a hurry to go home to enjoy the lanterns.

"Di Sicheng, someone is looking for you outside." A doorman came in to report, "It was your friend."

"I understand." Di Renjie nodded. Although he was not very popular in Dali Temple, there were still a few friends in the officialdom.

Di Renjie also said that he was Zhang Jianzhi, a member of the public affairs office.

When I came out, I saw a strange young man.

"Who are you?" Di Renjie asked in surprise.

Pei Shaoqing took a step forward and lowered his voice and said, "Di Sicheng, it doesn't matter who I am. As long as you know that Princess Taiping is in danger, you are in urgent need of your rescue!"

Di Renjie's face changed slightly when he heard this.

It is obvious that he already knew about the kidnap of Princess Taiping.

In fact, such a big case can't be suppressed even if you want to.

At that moment, Di Renjie also lowered his voice and asked, "Where is the princess now?"

"Please follow me." Pei Shaoqing turned around and left.

Di Renjie followed without hesitation.

Although the young man in front of him is suspicious, he can no longer care about Princess Taiping's safety. Anyway, there are Wuhou everywhere in Chang'an City, so there is no need to be afraid of him committing crimes.

The two soon arrived at the intersection of Zhuque Street.

I saw Princess Taiping eating soup cakes leisurely.

Di Renjie's eyes suddenly fell on Princess Taiping.

To be honest, Di Renjie has only seen Princess Taiping several times.

What impressed Di Renjie the most was Princess Taiping's beauty.

But now Princess Taiping has sludge on her face, so she can't see her appearance clearly.

But looking at this elegant posture when eating, Di Renjie believed it three points.

Although Princess Taiping was wearing a squid head and a man's round-neck shirt at this time, the elegant and graceful look in her every move could not be pretended.

This is only possible if you have received good etiquette education.

However, this matter is too serious and it still needs to be identified repeatedly.

Then Di Renjie stepped forward and bowed a long time, whispered: "Please pay homage to Your Highness."

Di Renjie deliberately did not mention his name or official position because Princess Taiping knew him.

"Isn't this Di Sicheng of Dali Temple?" Princess Taiping smiled, "My mother has praised you more than once, saying that you have the art of Eight Dragons and the literature and history of Three Winters, and can be a Tai Pavilion!"

"The official is ashamed." Di Renjie has believed it six points now.

Princess Taiping asked with a smile again: "Have Brother Di Shi entered Hongwenguan?"

"Report to your highness, the dog has already entered the Hongwen Hall." Now Di Renjie is sure that he is Princess Taiping.

Because the Queen of Heaven gave her grace, it was three days ago that his youngest son Di Guangzhao would enter Hongwenguan to study. Moreover, except for him and Queen of Heaven, only Princess Taiping was in the Zichen Hall.

At that moment, Di Renjie said to Pei Shaoqing again: "Protect the princess and follow me."

Di Renjie acted so well. He did not rashly hand over Princess Taiping to a certain guard or mansion, nor did he take her back to Dali Temple, but took her back to his own home in Chongrenfang to settle down.

Then he went out alone to Daming Palace and went to Zichen Palace to ask for the Queen of Heaven.

...

The three halls of Daming Palace are Hanyuan Hall, Xuanzheng Hall, and Zichen Hall.

Among them, Hanyuan Hall is the main hall of the Daming Palace. Wei E's hall is located on a three-story high platform. The Xiangluan Pavilion and Qifeng Pavilion on the east and west sides are like the wings of a giant bird.

Hanyuan Palace is the most magnificent palace in Chinese history.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City is not comparable to the Hall of Hanyuan.

Only major affairs such as the new emperor ascends the throne will be held in Hanyuan Hall.

The common courts are usually held in Xuanzheng Hall, that is, the place where "there is something to report and the court will be withdrawn from the court if there is nothing to do."

The Changchao of Xuanzheng Hall is actually just a formality, because many matters have been decided long ago.

Zichen Hall is the place where the emperor summoned important officials to discuss matters, that is, the inner dynasty, which is the real center of power. The major policies of the Tang Dynasty all came from Zichen Hall.

However, Emperor Gaozong of Tang rarely managed politics because of his poor health.

Most of the time, the government affairs were handled by Wu Zetian.

At this moment, the air in Zichen Palace was almost frozen.

Wu Zetian, the most outstanding political strong woman in China's history, looked gloomy and glanced sharply at several trusted officials standing under the jade steps.

Of course, Wu Zetian was not called Wu Zetian at this time.

The Great Sage Emperor Zetian was the honorary title given to Wu Zetian by her son Li Xian, the Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, after her death.

In short, Wu Zetian was very angry. These guards not only kidnapped her sharp-hearted peace, but also dared to use peace as a bargaining chip to force the court to give them legal identities.

It's simply outrageous!

Do you dare to argue with the court about things like an ant?

However, Wu Zetian did not lose his mind because of this.

As the only female emperor in China's five thousand years of history, it is no luck that Wu Zetian was able to get a throne.

Wu Zetian has keenly realized that this kidnapping case is unusual, and there must be a pair of invisible black hands behind it, even multiple pairs of invisible hands being manipulated.

"Transfer the orphan's will and order the guards to guard Cuiwei Palace."

"No one is allowed to trek into Cuiwei Palace to rescue the car."

"Here!" A eunuch responded, then turned around and ran out of Zichen Palace.

As soon as the eunuch left, another eunuch came in to report: "The queen of heaven, Di Renjie, the chief of Dali Temple, asked for a visit."

"Die Renjie?" Wu Zetian frowned when she heard this. At this time, she was really not in the mood to summon Di Renjie, but in the end she still said patiently, "Xuan."

"Xuan Di Renjie's meeting."

In a moment, Di Renjie entered.

"The Queen of Heaven, the Queen of War has important matters to report."

Before Wu Zetian could reply, Di Renjie said again: "Princess Taiping is now in the weali minister's house."

"Hmm?" Wu Zetian, who seemed a little impatient just now, immediately focused.

Several important officials present also looked at each other. What's going on?

Wasn’t Princess Taiping trapped in Cuiwei Palace by thieves?

Why did you arrive at Di Renjie's mansion again?

The next moment, Wu Zetian said in a deep voice: "Qiu Shenji, where is Yang Xuanjian?"

"I am here!" The left Jinwu Guard General Qiu Shenji, and the right Jinwu Guard General Yang Xuanjian, responded and stepped forward.

Wu Zetian said: "Immediately, lead the left and right Jinwu Guards to Di Qing's mansion and take Taiping back to the palace!"

"Here!" Qiu Shenqi and Yang Xuanjian bowed, turned around and left.

Watching Qiu Shenjie, Yang Xuanjian's figure left, and a whisper sounded in the hall.
