Not going?

Di Guangyuan was startled.

My father was the Left Chief of the Shangshu. He had not received the order to not go to Chang'an. Why did he go if he didn't say he would go? He opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him, but when he saw that his father was already carrying his hands behind his back, he went back to the study room.

Di Guangyuan hurriedly chased after him. He realized that it was really inconsistent to speak here. When he arrived at the study room, he closed the door tightly. Only a little light came in from the room. Looking at Di Renjie with a dull face, Di Guangyuan couldn't help but say, "Father... what's wrong? The court wants to build the Wanxiang Divine Palace? This... is indeed very inappropriate. It costs a lot to build this divine palace in Luoyang City. If I ascend the throne today, I should reform the current problems. How can I go to Chang'an and follow the examples.

The emperor is so happy about merit. This is inappropriate, but...father, it is precisely because of his trust in his father that he hopes that his father will help him to watch the construction of the God of All Things after he arrives in Chang'an. Even if his father refuses to practice, it would be fine. At worst, he will write a letter and resist it hard. With the expectations of his father, he will definitely be recognized by many knowledgeable people, which can just let His Majesty dispel this idea. Isn't this merit?"

Di Guangyuan's heart skipped a beat. Of course he knew that his father's reaction today was a bit abnormal. Although his father had a bad temper, he was definitely not a person who didn't know the importance of it. At this time, how could he say that he would not go to Chang'an and not go to Chang'an? But...

Di Renjie just kept silent.

Di Guangyuan was anxious: "If my father didn't go, wouldn't he just catch the handle? These days, my father has always said that it is a troublesome now. My father, a troublesome thing, should be more careful."

Di Renjie raised his eyes and said, "Yes. It's a lot of trouble, so my father has made a decision. Chang'an will not go. Not only will he not go, but he also has to write a letter. Resign. This official... it's better not to do it."

What……

Di Guangyuan was really stunned. His father was a man of great ambition. Thinking about the time when Wu Zetian ascended the throne and falsely accused his father. Therefore, his father was implicated and demoted to the West Road of Jiangnan. His father did not complain about this. Instead, he told his brothers that no matter where he was an official, he would be the ruler for the people. If he ruled a state, he would benefit the people of a state. If he lived in the temple, he would be more people who could be treated.

But now... my father is actually leaving.

Di Guangyuan said in surprise: "Father..."

Di Renjie suppressed his hands, sighed, and said, "For my father, I know what you think. Do you feel sorry for me? Or do you think...thing is not going to be so? You are wrong. The emperor is not going to build the God of All Things."

Di Guangyuan frowned even tighter, a little confused.

The emperor did not build the God of All Things, but he still issued an edict to do what? Is it fun to play with?

Di Renjie said again: "Now, the edicts in the world are all in the hands of Empress Wei. This edict is no exception. She is not going to build a palace, but tells her father that she can leave. Do you still understand? When the emperor wanted to build the Temple of All Things, I was the first to stand up and oppose it. Will Empress Wei not know about this? But she still wanted me to go to Chang'an to urge the construction of the Temple of All Things. Why is this? This is to force my father to the corner. If a father refuses, it is disrespectful. If a father objectes, Wei will definitely do his own thing and must practice it for his father. Eating the king's fortune and loyalty to the king is just like the emperor insisting on cultivating the Temple of All Things. If this "Son of Heaven" also insists on cultivating the Temple of All Things, will it be useful? What if I have built this Temple of All Things for my father?"

Speaking of this, Di Renjie paused and smiled bitterly, "If you really practice for your father, then what kind of face will you have? Even if everyone knows that being a father is forced to do it, can you pass this level of self? At the beginning, everyone said that the emperor was too insulting his ministers and treated his ministers as pigs and dogs. But even so, although the emperor wanted to build the God of All Things, he was speechless when he was opposed by his father, he was just silent. It would never be possible to let his father take charge of this matter. But now... Wei did this, the implication is to let his father abdicate and give way to the wise. If he is more honest and in a high position today, tomorrow... it is not an edict to let his father cultivate the God of All Things. The Wei family is unwilling to let his father stay in the temple. How can he not stay for his father?"

Di Guangyuan's eyes sank, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "It's outrageous. They... may they have to go too far... Is there no justice in this world? But my son thought that they might not have this intention, otherwise if they really want to remove their father from his official position, why bother to do this?"

Looking at this innocent son, Di Renjie just smiled bitterly and shook his head: "They would not be dismissed as the father's local officials. As the father is a bit of a false reputation. If they were dismissed from office directly, it would inevitably lead to imagination and make people think that the "Emperor" cannot tolerate wise ministers in court, so they would never make such a bad decision until the last moment. They drove away Mr. Cui, and this time they wanted to squeeze me aside. However, there was no excuse, so they had to wait for the father to "take the initiative" to resign. If it were me a few years ago, they would never have let them do what they wanted. But today, after my Emperor Li ascended the throne, I have understood many things. In this world, whether it is Wu or Li, what is the difference? As in this temple, whether there is a father or not, what will happen?

Same? The jackals, tigers and leopards are still jackals, tigers and leopards. You drove away a tiger, and the last one, the last one, is not a saint, but a hungry wolf. Some things, you, my father and son can close the door, you must not spread the word, and all of this temple are tigers and wolves. Even if there is one husband, what can I do? People, don’t look up to you. Human power is exhausted. Since that is the case, why not retreat bravely? You don’t have to persuade me again. At this time, I can’t tolerate any more expectations. At this moment, I can’t tolerate any more expectations. Now... I am not in good health today. You should draft a memorial for me. You should be more earnest. There is no need to go to Chang'an. It’s not interesting to see jackals and wolves everywhere. You should stay in Luoyang too."

Di Guangyuan was depressed. He never expected that his father was as good as the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Cheng and Deputy Prime Minister, and had just a decree, and he became a commoner.

However, he did not hesitate. As his father said, since it was Empress Wei's intention, it was clearly intentional to make things difficult for him and he had to keep his father away from the temple. Then even if he forced himself to stay, it seemed meaningless.

He hated the Wei family in his heart, but knew that the Wei family is now powerful and felt helpless.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

As the end of the year approaches, batches of imperial officials and imperial guards have begun to set out towards Chang'an, and many major events have also happened these days.

On the one hand, Di Renjie's resignation shocked many people. Everyone knows that Di Renjie is Cui Feng's person and does not deal with the Wei family. However, just now, the dignified Shangshu Zuo Cheng became a gangster overnight, which is unpredictable.

Although Di Renjie took the initiative, those who are interested can always detect clues, so they can't help but feel a little more afraid of the Wei family.

It turns out that although the Wei family is sometimes easy to talk to, it is absolutely unkind to be merciless when they really want to mess with others.

After all, Di Renjie's request made it difficult to hold on to any handle. After all, this is not a dismissal, but a resignation. The court also "appreciated" Di Renjie's "knowledge" and naturally gave some honors. Of course... these things are just for pretending.

The Di family completely faded out of the temple, which also means that the Qinghe Cui family no longer has the capital to establish a foothold in the temple.

As for this second sensational event, it was King Liang and Minister of Rites Wu Sansi who took office as the prefect of Henan.

The dignified King of Liang actually became a prefect, and this kind of thing that was truly shocking. Although in later generations, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the prince often had the rules of being appointed as the prefect of the capital, but the Tang Dynasty had never had such a precedent. What's more, the prefect of this prefect was only the third rank, and the dignified Minister of Rites was much higher than this rank. The Minister of Rites was at least nominally the head of the six ministries. He had entered the three provinces with almost half a foot and became the prime minister. Such a person was sent to the name Dongdu, but he was definitely not the Henan Prefecture in Kyoto.

As a result, all kinds of rumors became rampant. Some people thought that this was a signal that the Wei family wanted to deal with the Wu family, but soon no one cared about this rumors, because then, many of the Wu family's children were taken care of, and Wu Sansi's son Wu Chongxun was even promoted to General of the Flying Cavalry. This Enrong was obviously because the Wei family was very relieved of the Wu family and handed over an important force to protect Chang'an in the future directly to the Wu family.

Some people seemed to understand something. They suddenly felt that the situation became interesting because they suddenly discovered that in Luoyang, there seemed to be two great Buddhas, one, naturally Qin Shaoyou, the upcoming chief of Henan Prefecture. This person has a great title, but he is the Prince of Hongnong. The other one seems to be better in terms of title and qualifications. Although he was just appointed as the chief of Henan Prefecture, the chief of Henan Prefecture was only under the chief of Henan and an independent institution. The government orders of Henan Prefecture were ultimately from his hands.
