In the early days of Wu Zetian's rule, in order to know as much as possible about what's going on in the world, especially the movements of the royal family in Li Tang, and master their every move. Wu Zetian thought of a way to encourage informers.
Wu Zetian's treatment of informers is unprecedented, and all informers can get the right of government shuttle bus. As long as you tell the local official that you want to report, the local official will send a government car to send the informant to Luoyang without bringing your own dry food along the way. The post stations along the way are received according to the treatment of the five-product officer. Upon arrival in Luoyang, the government will arrange accommodation at the Hongcrack Temple Hotel.
If the whistleblower's content is true, it will be promoted and used unconventional. With the encouragement of Wu Zetian, informers are surging, and the wind of informers is rising. Many people use informants to travel to Luoyang for free.
Lai Junchen, a rogue, has been living a life of chicken singing and dog stealing. When Wu Zetian encouraged him to report, Lai Junchen embarked on the road of reporting at public expense. Because of his online acting skills, Wu Zetian broke the routine and valued him. He was promoted to counselor and became a capable and cruel official under Wu Zetian.
Lai Junchen, Zhou Xing and others constantly developed new types of torture devices, fabricated facts and framed Zhongliang. Di Renjie, who had just been promoted to prime minister for three months, was jailed on charges of Luo Zhi, and Lai Junchen put the big hat of rebellion on Di Renjie's head.
Di Renjie knew the usual interrogation methods of cruel officials to Lai Junchen, so when he interrogated Lai Junchen for the first time, Di Renjie confessed and secretly sent his self-help letter home in a cotton-padded jacket. After the Emperor's son got the cotton-padded jacket, he found this letter in the cotton-padded jacket and took it to Wu Zetian to avenge himself and save the Emperor.
Lai Junchen also listed the list of officials below the Prime Minister. As long as an official's wife and concubine make him tempted, the official will soon be thrown into prison and his wife will be brought into the room by Lai Junchen.
On a whim, he will draw lots at home, and whoever draws them will be framed. Everything is so arbitrary.
If heaven wants to die, it will make it crazy.
At the peak of his life, Lai Junchen felt very good about himself and adjusted his goals. He is no longer confined to framing the ministers of the DPRK, but to framing Princess Taiping and Prince Li Dan.
Princess Taiping and Wu's kings joined hands to save themselves. Princess Taiping's words carry more weight than others. In the face of her own daughter's protest, Wu Zetian wavered. Wu Zetian threw Lai Junchen into prison and was soon beheaded. The body was eaten by people who hated him.
Lai Junchen, a cruel official, always thought that as long as he was loyal and worked hard, he would be reused, but he didn't know his bottom line and was eventually abandoned. The main reasons are:
The excessive expansion of the individual has pushed everyone to their opposite, especially threatening Princess Taiping and the kings of Wu Shi.
Gathered the mob and framed Zhongliang, which angered the people inside and outside the court and demanded the execution of the future minister. When people's grievances boiled to a certain limit, Wu Zetian decided to throw this chess piece and restore the social order with clear rewards and punishments.
