Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Xue Aocao left quietly, just as he came quietly at the beginning.

He waved his sleeves and didn't take away a single piece of good stuff.

Xue Aocao went to the toilet by hiding from the toilet, and never left it again after that.

Ma Rong went to look for it once, but found no one inside.

In the huge courtyard, under the osmanthus tree, in the small pavilion, Li Cunxi listened to Xuguzi's purpose, reached out and touched his face, and said in surprise:

"You said I have the destiny of an emperor?"

"You also deceived Princess Taiping by saying that the destiny is divided into six parts, one for the emperor, one for the crown prince, one for the prince of Wei, one for the prince of Xiang, one for the prince of Liang, and one for Princess Taiping?"

"In fact, when you observed the sky every night, you only saw three rays of light emanating from the Purple Star, which fell on the Imperial Palace, the East Palace, and the Prince of Wei's Mansion. Did the Purple Star fall on Jiangzhou?"

"And you think that people who come out of Jiangzhou definitely don't have the Emperor's destiny, and the only person who might have the Emperor's destiny is me, Li Cunxi?"

"So you abandoned Princess Taiping and came to me?"

Xuguzi on the opposite side stroked his long beard and nodded seriously.

"I'm not good at other things, but I'm an expert at stargazing."

"From the perspective of this old Taoist priest, you, Li Zezhou, will definitely be the master of this world in the future."

"However, you still lack some things and some ministers to assist you. If you have all of them, your ascension to the throne will be just around the corner."

Li Cunxi naturally didn't believe such nonsense, but he couldn't completely disbelieve it.

The Taoists in ancient times were all very capable, especially those like Xuguzi who had great abilities. More than an hour ago, he was able to rub heavenly thunder with his hands.

Li Cunxi saw the lightning shooting straight into the sky and was shocked. He felt that if he faced the lightning in person, he would be struck into charcoal if he didn't die.

After thinking for a while, Li Cunxi asked with sharp eyes:

"Is the move of you rubbing your hands together with the thunderbolt real?"

Xuguzi looked embarrassed for a long time, then he said miserably:

"That's fake. I just wanted to scare you. I really want you to tell the truth."

The smile on Li Cunxi's face disappeared instantly. What a joke! The thunder from the sky was actually fake. Such a terrifying thunder from the sky was actually fake!

He couldn't imagine that such words actually came out of Xuguzi's mouth, and Li Cunxi's expression changed very quickly.

Xuguzi secretly thought that something was wrong, and then quickly said, "I actually know a little bit about Taoism, but it's just not up to par. If you are interested, I can show you some skills later."

"Then let's talk about it later. It's not that easy to follow me... I need you to continue to lurk in Princess Taiping's mansion and send me the latest news at all times."

"As long as you give me an order, I will do my best."

……

At the hour of Yin the next day, Di Renjie, who had hurried back, returned to Di Mansion under the protection of Fenghuang and Li Yuanfang.

After waking up Li Cunxi, the two changed into court robes with the help of servants and got on a carriage to the palace.

In the Tai'an Hall of the Taiji Palace, all the ministers had already gotten up early and were waiting here. The prime ministers Zhang Jianzhi and Wu Sansi were yawning, looking as if they had not woken up yet.

The court session in the Wu Zhou Dynasty was at about 4:00 a.m., which is about 6:00 a.m. in later times. When the court session started, the ministers would arrive at the Tai'an Hall 15 minutes in advance to wait.

If the ministers were busy at night, they would go to bed around midnight, which is between 11 pm and am.

It's fine on sunny days, but if it rains, it may not be easy for officials from the capital who live far away to attend court. They have to go to bed early on the first day, get up around Chou time the next day, get ready, and wait in Tai'an Hall.

Li Cunxi had already learned the specific time of court session from Wu Chengsi, so he went to bed early and prepared a memorial early to recommend a minor official position.

Of course, that petty official hasn't caused him any trouble yet, but judging by the time, he will soon be in trouble.

"Oh, you gentlemen, you're here early."

Wu Chengsi walked in after lifting the door curtain and glanced at everyone. As expected, he saw Li Cunxi standing with Di Renjie.

"Your Highness the Prince of Wei!"

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei."

A group of officials bowed and nodded to greet him, and several ministers who arrived early even offered their chairs for Wu Chengsi to sit on.

Wu Chengsi, who had a good night's sleep, was obviously not willing to pay attention to them. He responded with a few words and came to the side of Wu Sansi who was dozing off.

He leaned down and smiled wickedly.

"Sansi, did you sleep well?"

Wu Sansi, who was dozing off soundly, suddenly opened his eyes wide and grabbed around in the air with his hands, as if he had seen a living ghost.

After seeing Wu Chengsi's face clearly, Wu Sansi breathed a sigh of relief, sat down again, and said:

"Brother, what do you mean by this? Are you scaring me?"

Wu Sansi took a few sips of herbal tea and calmed himself down.

"The court is about to start, and you are still resting here. Can't you learn from Lord Zhang Jianzhi?"

Wu Chengsi glanced at Zhang Jianzhi who was sitting upright next to him and reminded Wu Sansi.

"Brother, I'm sleepy." Wu Sansi said.

Wu Chengsi ignored him and turned to walk towards Li Cunxi.

After he entered the room, he noticed Li Cunxi, who was resting with his eyes closed next to Di Renjie, as if he had fallen asleep.

It is understandable that young people sleep more, and it is also a good thing for Li Cunxi to sleep more.

"Di Gong." Wu Chengsi bowed.

"Your Highness the King of Wei." Di Renjie also bowed with a smile.

"I wonder if Mr. Di is feeling comfortable in Luoyang. Is my brother doing a good job in taking care of him?"

"The Prince of Changshan took great care of me. He held banquets every day and invited dancers and wine girls to entertain me. I was able to have fun every night in Luoyang. Without Cunxi by my side, it was hard for me to enjoy myself."

"Okay, okay, I am relieved now that my virtuous brother treats Lord Di like this. If you have nothing to do after the court is dismissed today, you can come to my Prince Wei's mansion. The beautiful concubines in my mansion are all as gorgeous as those in the Western Regions. Lord Di can come and enjoy them."

"The King of Wei has invited me so warmly. If I refuse, I will be a little ignorant. Let's settle the matter of Cunxi first, so that you and I can enjoy this heavenly scene."

"What Di Gong said is really the words of an experienced man who is good at planning for the country. This is very good. Let's solve the problem of Cunxi first."

The conversation between the two woke up Li Cunxi, who was sleeping soundly with his head tilted to the side.

Looking up and seeing Wu Chengsi's face, which was cold to outsiders but kind to him, Li Cunxi's smile was beyond words.

"The mentor is here."

"Are you awake? Are you still sleepy?" Wu Chengsi asked with concern.

"There's still some." Li Cunxi scratched his head.

"You can't sleep no matter how sleepy you are. It will be time to register the names of officials who will attend the court soon."

"Okay."

Soon, a eunuch came in.

Li Cunxi, Wu Chengsi and Di Renjie distanced themselves from each other and deliberately followed several officials from the Censorate, writing down their own official titles first.

"Are you an eighth-rank censor?"

The eunuch took a look at the official title written by Li Cunxi, and a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face.

"You know, no matter who it is, when they come to court for the first time, they have to give us some silver as a gift."
