After hearing Li Cunxi's voice, Wu Chengsi opened his eyes and revealed an unfathomable smile.

"All the county magistrates listed here are from the seventh rank, and they are all disciples of Wu Sansi, or servants recommended by the brothers Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi. It's useless for you to go to great lengths to check a large number of people who are from the seventh rank!"

"Even if you overthrow all these people and kill them, you still can't hurt Wu Sansi, Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi. They can easily recommend their students and servants to be county magistrates."

After just a quick glance, Wu Chengsi already knew that even if the county magistrate was dead, it would not have any impact on those people.

Especially my cousin Wu Sansi.

He had a lot of disciples and former officials under him, and whenever these disciples died, he would immediately recommend the remaining disciples.

There might be some problems with Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi. They relied on Wu Zetian's love and were arrogant. When they heard that their servants were killed, they had to have a fight with Li Cunxi.

But if they knew that the people they were going to face were Wu Sansi and Di Renjie, they would definitely behave themselves.

Therefore, there is no need to deal with these useless and time-wasting people.

But he couldn't say it actively.

He is a teacher!

He has to wait for his disciple Li Cunxi to ask!

Li Cunxi pondered for a few sips of tea before turning to Wu Chengsi for help.

"Please teach me, Master!"

"Simple!" Wu Chengsi clapped his hands and said, "Tomorrow's regular court meeting will be held. The ministers will go to Tai'an Hall in advance to wait for the eunuch to convey the order. At 4:00 am, the eunuch will go to Tai'an Hall to summon the ministers to the palace. You will wait there. The eunuch will see that you are a new minister and will definitely ask you for the regular silver."

"Teacher, what is the example?"

"That eunuch is Wu Sansi's brother-in-law. Wu Sansi specifically asked His Majesty for this position so that he could make some money. Therefore, whenever a new official came to the court, this person would ask for the official's salary. Otherwise, he would falsely convey the emperor's intentions and prevent the official from seeing the emperor. Anyway, with Wu Sansi's back, this person never restrained himself."

Li Cunxi was quite surprised, and asked, "Master, how could Your Majesty not know about the behavior of such people? Why didn't the inner guards take this person away and severely punish him to serve as a warning to others?"

"You really don't know the reason? I don't believe Di Huaiying didn't tell you who His Majesty is going to pass the throne to now." Wu Chengsi took a sip of tea and said lightly.

"I understand, Master, but I am currently only a nominal Grade 8 Upper. I am afraid I am not worthy of this person's eyes. How about this, this..."

They chatted until noon, and after having breakfast in the Prince of Wei's Mansion, Li Cunxi left the Palace.

After getting on the carriage and returning to Di Mansion, Li Cunxi couldn't wait to find Di Renjie and told him what he had agreed with the King of Wei.

After hearing this, Di Renjie clapped his hands and laughed:

"I originally thought that the Wu family should be harmonious and friendly, but I never thought that Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi would become so incompatible."

"It's my fault for being so confused that I never thought of it before. Wu Chengsi thinks highly of you, and he must have some big plans for you!"

"Okay, okay, Cunxi, just follow this method. Wu Chengsi will not harm you."

Li Cunxi could probably guess that his mentor Wu Chengsi's purpose was nothing more than three points.

First, support Li Cunxi, the heir of the Li family and the nephew of Di Gong. After Li Cunxi holds a high position, he will compete with Wu Sansi in the court.

Secondly, he already has the initial qualifications to be won over by Wu Chengsi. In addition, he is Di Gong's personal disciple and has the support of the Li family. If he remains of the same mind as Wu Chengsi after climbing to the top, then the throne of the emperor will have nothing to do with Wu Sansi or anything like that. It will most likely belong to Wu Chengsi.

To take a step back, even if Li Cunxi himself climbed to the top, and Wu Zetian was forced to pass the throne to Li Xian or Li Dan in the future, Wu Chengsi would definitely not die with Li Cunxi as his disciple.

"My mentor is really calculating... But it's also good. As long as I can climb up, there will definitely be no chance for Wu Sansi to become the crown prince in the future."

"You don't have to climb too high, Cunxi. As long as you can climb to the position of Shangshu Youcheng, it will be enough for His Majesty to put you among the important ministers." Di Renjie drank his tea slowly.

"What do you mean, uncle?"

"Your Majesty is old, and I estimate that he only has ten years left. In a dozen years, you may not be 30 years old, and by then you will be able to climb to the position of Shangshu Youcheng. When His Majesty appoints a crown prince, he will have to see what you think. If you insist on appointing Prince Liang as the crown prince, once you, a high-ranking official of the Li family, raise your arms, the Great Zhou will be in danger."

"Climbing to the position of Shangshu Youcheng, can you have such ability?"

"How many Shangshu Youcheng have there been in their 20s throughout history?"

"I will keep in mind what my uncle said today. If I can ascend to a high position in the future, I will naturally be prepared."

……

The next day, noon.

Li Cunxi was sitting in the Di residence, dozing off with his eyes closed, while Lu Dayou was still learning to read beside him.

Lu Dayou made rapid progress. After learning to read, he learned to write. Now, Lu Dayou can easily write down the entire Thousand Character Classic.

Li Cunxi, who was drowsy, suddenly heard the long-silent system voice in his mind.

"It has been detected that Jili Khan has left Chang'an and is heading for the Turks. The main mission of the mission has come to a terrifying end!"

"The host obtains the buff 'Immune to All Poisons'."

"Immune to all poisons: No poisonous substance will harm the host's hair, and any poison is no match for the host."

"The boss mission Jin Mulan has been eliminated. Jin Mulan dropped a silver treasure chest among the gold, silver and bronze treasure chests."

"The treasure chest is opened. Congratulations to the host for obtaining Jin Mulan's special personality 'Moody' (discardable), 3 free attribute points, a list of rebels contacted by Jin Mulan, and 300 million taels of silver."

Li Cunxi, who had been planning to take a nap, immediately felt less sleepy.

The mission reward that had been delayed for so long finally came to him.

It should be noted that the main quest "The Blue Shirt" has already begun. Wu Zetian restored Di Renjie's position as the Internal History and appointed him as the Envoy of Jiangnan Province, all for the purpose of the Huzhou case.

Di Renjie had already prepared to leave in a few days, and he was still lying at home teaching Lu Dayou.

Glancing at the 300 million taels of silver in the system warehouse, Li Cunxi said with emotion:

"My cousin is really a good person. She is gone but she still left me such a huge fortune."

"As for this peculiar character of being moody... forget it. If a man is moody, what great things can he do?"

Abandoning his special personality, Li Cunxi put all his free attribute points into physical fitness.

“Name: Li Cunxi.

Physique: 47.

Force: 10.

Intelligence: 101. "

"Just barely, just enough intelligence."

"Come to think of it, Brother Yuan Fang has not grown into a top-notch master yet. It's been so long. It can't be that because he hasn't defeated Brother Jing Hui, his soul can't be sublimated, right?"
