A few days later, Cheng Lishi handed over the two captured suspects to Dali Temple. After some interrogation by Di Renjie, the suspect Qin Ming who assassinated the craftsman confessed to the fact of assassinating the craftsman and confessed.
The man behind him was Qiu Shenji, and he also identified another suspect, Bai Qinai, as the main person responsible for using Zaojia to frame Li Xian.
Di Renjie then continued to interrogate the suspect Bai Qi. After some interrogation, Bai Qi also admitted that he was indeed mainly responsible for the matter and recruited his accomplices. At the same time, he also proposed that the reason why he wanted to do this was
This matter was done under the orders of a man named Li Huiran. This Li Huiran was actually the head of a Taoist organization. This Taoist organization was called Xuandu Temple. The warriors in the temple looked no different from ordinary Taoist priests.
But in fact they are all martial arts masters, their activities are very secretive, and they are an evil organization.
After Di Renjie received the news, he couldn't help but feel shocked. He had never thought that such a terrifying force was lurking in the heart of the capital. If it were allowed to grow, he really didn't know what harm it would bring.
So Di Renjie immediately met Gaozong in secret, and asked Gaozong to secretly mobilize the power of Baiqi, suddenly come to Xuandu Temple, and ruthlessly kill the remaining forces there. However, when the army arrived at Xuandu Temple,
Afterwards, it was discovered that the building had been deserted, so Di Renjie issued a shadow painting pattern to arrest the key members of Xuandu Temple nationwide. Later, Li Yuanfang, the bodyguard beside Di Renjie, finally found the members of Xuandu Temple after careful investigation.
In a secret stronghold, more than ten masters were killed. Later, no one knew which force it was, found Xuanduguan's lair. After a fierce battle, dozens of masters in Xuanduguan were killed.
, only a few leaders broke through, and from the mouths of these few leaders, people learned that this mysterious organization that killed dozens of masters in Xuandu Temple was called "Snake Spirit".
After that, the masters of Xuanduguan disappeared mysteriously. No matter who they were, no news about them was found. This became a mystery within a year or two.
In addition to the all-out siege of Xuandu Temple, Di Renjie was also working hard to investigate the origin of the soap armor that was smuggled into Li Xiandong Palace. After a careful investigation, Di Renjie finally concluded that this batch of soap armor was smuggled into Li Xiandong Palace.
Jia was taken out of Weiwei Temple with the approval of Wei Weiqing Wu Chengsi, so Di Renjie wrote to the emperor to impeach Wei Weiqing Wu Chengsi for abusing his power, misappropriating weapons privately, and violating national law.
The result naturally aroused the emperor's anger, and he ordered Wu Chengsi to be demoted to the governor of Chuzhou, and appointed Wei Wei Shaoqing Wei Chi Baolin as Wei Weiqing.
Until this time, the whole prince's rebellion case was finally settled. In this case, Yuan Gongyu, the imperial historian, was forced to take up an official position due to negligence. Half a year after returning to his hometown, he got seriously ill due to fear and fear, and finally died of the illness;
The cruel censors Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen, Suo Yuanli, Wang Hongyi, Hou Sizhi and others in Shitai who were newly recommended by Yuan Gongyu were deprived of their official positions due to excessive punishment and bad conduct, and they were never appointed. The censor Li Zhaode
He was promoted to Yushi Dafu, in charge of the affairs of Yushitai, and was entrusted by the emperor to reorganize Yushitai. Qiu Shenji, who had just been restored to the position of Zuojinwu Guards Zhonglang General a month ago, was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima. The result is unknown.
Why, on the way to be demoted, he was killed by bandits. Empress Wu was furious and sent people to investigate. As a result, after two or three months of investigation, no clues were found, so the case had to be dropped.
In addition, the mysterious power behind Empress Wu, Xuandu Guan, was uprooted. Empress Wu lost a very important force to rely on, which made her no longer so casual when performing some special tasks in the future. For Empress Wu,
, she destroyed all the power left to her by her old lover Ming Chongyan, and the loss in her heart was really indescribable.
Not only that, Zhongshu Ling Xue Yuanchao was also reprimanded for violating the holy will several times. Prince Li Xian also took the opportunity to rectify the East Palace. In the process, many officers and soldiers with unhealthy styles, loose ideas, and lax discipline were eliminated. Empress Wu discovered that,
Most of the people who were cleared out were the result of her placement in the East Palace. After this action, Empress Wu's painstaking efforts in the East Palace were almost wiped out. Even Xue Yuanchao, Liu Jingxian, Yuan Wanqing,
Fan Lubing and other close ministers were also ostracized in the East Palace, and many important matters in the East Palace were not discussed with them.
At the same time, Gaozong also decided to pay tribute to the soldiers who had successfully countered the rebellion in the north recently. In the process, the party members around Li Xian were further promoted. Prince Zuo Wei led the
Gao Sheji was promoted to the prince's left prison gate rate, Zhang Deyu, the prince's personal guard captain, was promoted to the prince's personal guard, Zhonglang general, Xunwei captain Zhang Wei, Liu Youqiu was promoted to the Xunwei Zhonglang general, and Sun Fei, the personal guard general.
General Zheng Jin, the general of Yiwei Lang, was promoted to the title of Zhonglang General of the Prince's Personal Guard, and Wang Jun, the general of Yiwei Lang, was promoted to the title of Prince Zuo Si Yufu.
At this time, Xue Rengui had successfully pacified Silla and captured Silla King Jin Zhengming alive and handed him over to the court.
Emperor Gaozong was overjoyed and appointed Xue Rengui as Minister of the Ministry of War and the third rank of Tong Zhongshu. General Li Duozuo, who had also made meritorious service on the battlefield, was appointed as the general of Zuojianmen. Guo Yuanzhen was directly appointed as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Pingzhang of Tong Zhongshu.
He was directly promoted to prime minister!
Even the two talents recommended by Li Xian, Yao Chong and Song Jing, were appointed as Secretary Shaojian and Shangshu Zuocheng respectively, becoming truly powerful figures.
Even if this was not the end, Gaozong also asked Li Xian to go directly to Chang'an to supervise the country on the grounds of his illness. Unless there was an important matter that was undecided, he would ask Gaozong and Empress Wu for advice, and appointed Liu Rengui and Xue Rengui.
Pei Yan, Xue Yuanchao, Cui Zhiwen and others assisted, which shows Gaozong's support for Li Xian.
Such support was naturally equivalent to a slap in the face to Empress Wu. Empress Wu was naturally very wary of this, so she summoned her party members overnight to discuss countermeasures.
"Everyone has now seen that the current emperor has carefully cultivated the prince. If this is allowed to continue, it will not be easy for us to live peacefully in the future. Hehe, don't think that it has nothing to do with you.
, this matter is of vital importance to your life and death. At worst, I will be my empress dowager peacefully, but what about you? This prince is very vindictive, and I am afraid that none of you will be able to escape."
Empress Wu looked at her group of confidants and said with a heavy face. (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
