Datang: I was overheard by the Empress

Chapter 4 Wan'er cooks good tea!
Di Ping'an complained in his heart, but he could only obediently take Shangguan Wan'er to make tea!

Empress, at this moment, her silver teeth are grinding lightly,
Well, you Di Ping'an, how dare you slander me like this, do you have such narrow-mindedness?

Also, when did Wan'er become the number one talented woman in the Tang Dynasty?

But when she heard Di Ping'an's last two words, the empress's mind was overwhelmed!

Based on what he said just now, Di Ping'an is definitely not an ordinary person.

Because Di Ping'an's words directly summed up the predicament Wu Zetian is facing now!

The so-called rooster wakes up the morning, that is, the hen crows,

But that's supposed to be a cock job!

However, Wu Zetian usurped the throne, and the rooster served as the rooster in the morning. There were indeed many difficulties faced!
The barbarians from other races, the former ministers of Zhenguan, the nobles, the children of the humble family, and other members of the Wu family, all of them have ulterior motives. Her position as the throne is very unstable!

"What a Di Ping'an, if I hadn't been able to hear your voice, I'm afraid I'd have been deceived by you. You're so mediocre, so honest, I think you're just glib, treacherous and loyal!"

Wu Zetian was so angry, this Di Ping'an clearly understood everything, and he was not so clear and understanding, but he would rather be a salted fish, and the only thing on his mind was sleeping, you can think of something else ah,

You don't use such a smart brain!
Hateful!
I have never seen such a violent person!
At this moment, Wu Zetian had never hated a person so unmotivated!

It's not even a question of self-motivation anymore!
It's all about eating and waiting to die.

And it's still the kind of gangster who doesn't commit crimes and commits crimes, eats and waits to die,

It's the kind that people can't catch if they want to catch it!

But Di Ping'an's heartfelt thoughts will stop here, because Di Ping'an has already taken Shangguan Wan'er to make tea at this moment!
In the main hall, only the empress and Di Renjie were left at this moment. Wu Zetian calmed down, and then asked Di Renjie, "Di Qing, do you know what I mean when I come here this time?"

Having said that, Di Renjie immediately turned serious. Of course, another important reason is because Di Ping'an has already left now, so there is no need to worry about offending the empress again!

But what Di Renjie never expected was that Di Ping'an was no longer a matter of offending the empress or not!
It's the kind that has already left a deep imprint on the empress's heart, and I'm afraid it can't be erased!

"Your Majesty must have come here this time for the sake of Dali Temple!"

Di Renjie said in a deep voice, although he was promoted to Dali Temple Minister, Di Renjie knew how serious the problem he was facing at the moment!
The official system of the Tang Dynasty, three provinces and six ministries, the Ministry of Punishment is in charge of legal trials, but in addition to the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate also have the same duties, but the division of labor among the three is slightly different!

The Ministry of Criminal Justice is mainly targeting the affairs of Kyushu in the world, that is, civil matters.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate mainly targets officials, and Yushi is the most important member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Most of the kings of the imperial court come from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The Dali Temple is aimed at the relatives of the emperor. The powers of the three are similar, but they have different emphasis. Equivalent to the Public Security Bureau!

Of course, if there are some extremely important cases that are particularly difficult to hear, the emperor will order the three divisions to conduct a joint trial. The so-called three divisions refer to the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate!
The joint trial of the three divisions is the joint handling of cases by the public security, procuratorate and law!
"That's right, when I took the post of Minister of Dali Temple, I was hesitant to do things, which resulted in a backlog of cases in Dali Temple. There were many dissatisfaction among the people, and people's grievances seemed to boil. That's why I specially appointed you, Di Qing, as Minister of Dali Temple. I hope you can be fair and strict. The case is judged fairly, and the law is enforced like a mountain!"

At this moment, the empress looked at Di Renjie expectantly.

Although the current situation in the court is chaotic, even if it is to be resolved, it needs to be solved one by one!
The most troublesome thing Wu Zetian is facing now is the backlog of many cases in Dali Temple.
And most of these cases have links with important officials in the court, members of the Wu clan, or relatives of the emperor.

Every case is extremely troublesome to deal with, whether it involves court ministers or Wu clansmen, or those princes and princesses,

So ordinary people can't deal with these things at all. In just one year this year, there are nearly a thousand cases backlogged in Dali Temple. This is something Dali Temple has never encountered before!

"Does Your Majesty really hope that the court will judge the case fairly and enforce the law like a mountain?"

Di Renjie immediately said in a very serious manner, although he has not really taken up the post of Minister of Dali Temple, but he has also heard about the current embarrassment of Dali Temple, and there are many people in the court who want to see Di Renjie's jokes!
"I hope that Di Qing can give justice to the common people. I hope that the four big characters hanging high on the mirror are not just a decoration. I hope that Di Qing can be upright!"

Wu Zetian said very seriously,

"I understand, but this matter is complicated, and I may offend many people if I handle it!"

Di Renjie said seriously, although he knew how difficult Dali Siqing is now, he had to face it!

Hearing what Di Renjie said, the empress immediately expressed her support:

"Di Qing, feel free to do it, as long as there are laws and evidence, I will fully support you!"

In the main hall, Wu Zetian and Di Renjie had a heated conversation,

In the side hall, Shangguan Wan'er and Di Ping'an also started different ways of making tea!
The style of making tea in the Tang Dynasty was relatively popular, especially since Chang'an was still located in the north.
In the cold winter season, if you can drink a cup of hot boiled tea, it can really warm up your stomach.

And at the moment in the side hall, there is a tea pot on a small stove, and tea soup is being gurgled inside!

And Shangguan Wan'er took out a small wooden box, which contained various seasonings, such as ginger, garlic, orange peel, flower petals, and lotus seeds.

I saw Shangguan Wan'er pointing ten fingers, like dancing, all kinds of materials in the wooden box were scattered into the tea pot by Shangguan Wan'er like flowers,

I don't know how many raw materials were put into the tea pot, until the condiments in this small wooden box were basically sprinkled in, Shangguan Wan'er stopped and closed the lid!

After a lot of work, there were slight beads of sweat on Shangguan Wan'er's forehead!

But when she saw Di Ping'an who was already stunned, the corners of Shangguan Wan'er's lips curled up slightly!

Hmph, bumpkin, have you never seen such a clever way of making tea?
However, although Shangguan Wan'er looked down on Di Ping'an in her heart, her face was plain and flat: "My lord, is Wan'er's tea-making skills impressive?"

Di Ping'an immediately raised his thumbs up: "Praise, Miss Wan'er really cooks good porridge...er, she cooks good tea!"
