Jili Khan, who used to be full of little thoughts, now has no little thoughts at all.

As for the idea of ​​recruiting Li Cunxi through Wu Zetian, it was ruled out from here.

It will never happen again.

Jili Khan, who was familiar with the Wu Zhou court, knew that Wu Zetian might give him a remnant, but would never give him the successor to the prime minister.

After the banquet, Wu Zetian invited Jili Khan to visit the Taiji Palace.

The three prime ministers still accompanied him.

In the evening, Jili Khan returned to the posthouse to rest, and Zhang Jianzhi and Wu Sansi also said goodbye and left.

Di Renjie and Wu Zetian were walking outside the Taiji Hall. Di Renjie, who had changed back into his official uniform, followed behind Wu Zetian with a kind smile on his face.

Hu Jinghui, the General of the Guards, stood on the other side, sticking to his post to protect Wu Zetian.

"Huaiying, where is the list?" Wu Zetian asked indifferently.

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent. I have searched everywhere for the bandits' lairs, but I have not found the list that could threaten those attending the meeting." Di Renjie's expression immediately became serious.

This time he really did not deceive Wu Zetian, he really did not find the list.

"If you haven't discovered it, then you haven't discovered it."

Wu Zetian remembered what the inner guard had said to her.

The internal guard basically knew what Di Gong did on this trip.

Since the internal guard at the scene couldn't find anything fishy about Di Renjie, she had no choice but to believe it.

"How did Li Qingxia die?"

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. It may be related to the kidnapping of Lizhou Governor Chen Ming more than three years ago."

"You mean, the Nineteenth Thief of Baihelin who has long disappeared?"

"That's right. I have indeed investigated it. It was the Baihelin thief who took action at the last moment and killed the bandit leader Jin Mulan and all of Jin Mulan's subordinates."

"Alas, the thief Bai Helin Nineteen who disappeared for three years has actually returned to the arena, and killed so many people in his first attack. Huaiying, this is really suspicious!"

Wu Zetian raised her voice, and it could be heard that she was a little angry now.

She was not angry at Di Renjie's incompetence, but at the Nineteen Thieves in Baihelin.

This was the case when Chen Ming, the governor of Lizhou, took office, and it is still the case now with the murder of the diplomatic envoys.

These bandits are determined to go against the imperial court, they really should be cut into pieces!

"Huaiying, I feel uneasy if these bandits are not eliminated. You have to find a way to eliminate them for me."

"I will do my best, but there are no clues."

"You old fellow, your words are really puzzling." Wu Zetian suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Do you know why I appointed Li Cunxi as the Supervisory Censor?"

"Because Cun Xi made great contributions in this Youzhou case?"

"No, because he is Chengsi's disciple... Did you know that at the banquet, Jili Khan actually asked me openly and secretly for Li Cunxi to help him? Haha, how could I give him such a treasure?"

"What does your majesty mean?"

"How about you do your best to train Li Cunxi? I ​​don't care about the issue of the heir of the Li family. Otherwise, I can just follow the line of Li Qingxia and investigate upwards. What you can find out, the heir can also find out."

"I obey your order. However, I have already learned 70% to 80% of what I can do, and in some aspects I have even surpassed you. Your Majesty should train him and let him enter the officialdom."

……

Di Mansion.

In Li Cunxi's study.

Lu Dayou was holding a book, which was the Thousand Character Classic, a book on literacy.

It is said that this copy of "Thousand Character Classic" in Di Mansion was written by a famous calligrapher in the early Tang Dynasty.

Later, it was obtained by Di Renjie and given to Li Cunxi.

Li Cunxi first learned to read by reading this book. Now that Lu Dayou has decided to become a scholar, Li Cunxi will be of use to Lu Dayou.

After all, he came from Xiaolianzi Mountain in Youzhou, where the cultural literacy rate is pitifully low.

It’s just that Lu Dayou’s talent is really not low. Li Cunxi just taught him casually, and he could recognize all the characters in the "Thousand Character Classic".

"As expected of a powerful minister of the country who was later posthumously awarded the title of Grand Master, that's awesome Kras."

Li Cunxi quietly glanced at Lu Dayou who was completely immersed in the ocean of knowledge, and couldn't help but whispered.

When it comes to Li Yuanfang and Lu Dayou, who is more likely to be the protagonist? It is naturally Lu Dayou.

Fourteen years later, in the first year of Shenlong, Lu Dayou climbed from a commoner to the position of Shangshu Youcheng (Second Grade Lower Shangshu Youcheng), and Li Xian commented on him, "Meeting you is like meeting Di Gong. You are the pillar of the country."

Compared with Di Renjie, Wu Chengsi, Wu Chengye who had died in the same period, and Wu Sansi, Zhang Jianzhi, Huan Yanfan and Jing Hui who are still alive.

Lu Dayou, the Shangshu Youcheng who came from a grassroots background, actually attracted more attention from Li Xian.

Lu Dayou did not disappoint all those who were optimistic about him. He brought peace to the people at home and won over the border alliances abroad. He can truly be said to be a white jade pillar supporting the sky and a purple gold beam bridging the sea!

Li Xian truly regarded Lu Dayou as his Di Renjie, and wanted to promote Lu Dayou to the rank of Jinzi Guanglu Doctor and the title of Shangshu Zuocheng.

This is a third-rank civil official position and a powerful official position above the fourth rank. As long as Lu Dayou agrees, he will be ranked at the top of the court. There are only a few people above him, but countless people below him.

However, Lu Dayou did not agree, saying that he could not have the same title as Di Renjie's father, and did not accept it.

Not only that, he was also given the title of Grand Tutor after his death.

Li Cunxi picked up a small biscuit and ate it while muttering to himself:

"Such a protagonist should be used by me."

As for Li Yuanfang, he belongs to his uncle Di Renjie.

You have to find your own helpers.

"It's getting late, Ma Rong. Ask the servants in the mansion to prepare hot water for me to bathe. I will go to the bathroom later."

Li Cunxi stood up and went outside, giving instructions to Ma Rong.

Ma Rong and Qiao Tai had been drinking outside the door for the entire afternoon, and they were playing finger-guessing games, making quite a lot of noise.

Even so, Lu Dayou still turned a blind eye and read "Thousand Character Classic" for the whole afternoon.

"Yes, son!"

Ma Rong, who had an excellent alcohol tolerance, stood up, answered, and went to inform the servants.

Qiao Tai held the wine jar and licked it twice more, with an expression of being unsatisfied on his face.

"That's enough. You two have been noisy enough this afternoon."

"Hiccup~ Sir, isn't the best thing about following you to be able to drink as much wine as you want? I have nothing to do recently, and Ma Rong hasn't left yet, so I'll let him have another drink with me, hiccup~"

"How much did you drink this afternoon?"

"More than ten jars, please don't blame me, sir. I asked Brother Ma to accompany me to drink. I usually drink alone, and I really can't drink much."

"I didn't say you can't drink. Arong won't leave until the day after tomorrow. You can eat, drink and have fun as long as it doesn't interfere with my business."

"Don't worry, sir."

Qiao Tai was drunk. He put down the wine jar and staggered towards Li Cunxi to bow and say yes.

Li Cunxi tilted his head and glanced, then the corner of his eye moved to Di Renjie outside the yard.

"Uncle, you're back?"
