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

Wu Zetian, who was lying on the dragon bed, glanced at Wu Sansi with a fake smile and said calmly:

"Sansi, you should handle this matter yourself. You must give Cunxi an explanation."

Wu Sansi felt a chill on his back and bowed:

"I obey your command... After noon, I will definitely send Zhu Liren to the Dali Temple."

"Well, if there is nothing else, let's adjourn the court. I am a little tired. We can discuss the matter of deposing the crown prince later." Wu Zetian looked really tired. She supported her face with her hands, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.

All the ministers in the Taiji Hall withdrew one after another, and all the officials left as well.

Li Cunxi followed Di Renjie and Wu Chengsi out, and the Minister of Rites Wu Yizong and Zhang Jianzhi also followed.

It seemed extremely unreasonable for these people who had nothing to do with each other to walk together. There was nothing much to talk about, so they talked about random things. The most talked about thing was the case of Xue Mansion that Di Renjie handed over.

Before he even walked out of the Taiji Palace, the Prince's Secretary and several of the Prince's guests caught up with him.

The leader was old and frail, but his eyes were extremely sharp.

"King Wei, Lord Di, Lord Zhang, Minister Wu, Lord Li."

The old man bowed casually and continued:

"I am very interested in Lord Li and would like to ask you some small questions. I hope you can give me some convenience."

Wu Chengsi calmly stopped Li Cunxi behind him and asked:

"If you have any questions, it's better to ask now. There's no need to go anywhere else. I still have to entertain a few adults later."

The old man stared at Li Cunxi, whose half body was blocked by Wu Chengsi, and said again:

"I am Li Huaiyuan, the Right Imperial Guardsman. I would like to ask Lord Li to help me."

Li Cunxi was confused and looked at the other three guests of the prince.

Li Cunxi knew all of them except Li Huaiyuan. One was the prince's guest Wei Anshi, whose great-grandfather was very famous, Wei Xiaokuan, the Grand Marshal of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He himself was also very powerful, serving as prime minister for four terms.

One is Tang Xiujing. Nine years later, in the first year of the Jiu Shi reign, that is, in 700 AD, this man would defeat Tubo and was awarded the title of General of the Right Jinwu Guard. He was the prime minister and famous general of the Wu Zhou and Li Tang dynasties.

Yang Zaisi, the prince's guest, is a piece of shit among gold, a piece of gold among shit. He has abilities but not much. He is very good at flattering his superiors and is very good at sycophancy, which helps him to have a successful career.

Zhu Qinming, the Prince's Secretary, later became the Prime Minister, but only after Li Xian was restored to the throne.

Back to Li Huaiyuan, he was also a prime minister, but Li Cunxi only knew that he would be a prime minister in the future.

"Lord Li, please do me a favor." Li Huaiyuan spoke again.

"Well, go wherever you want. Where is it?" Li Cunxi came out and asked softly.

"It's just in front. I have few questions and won't delay your investigation."

"please."

They came to the palace wall next to them and stood face to face.

Li Cunxi looked at the old man calmly and asked, "Why did Minister Li call me?"

"Lord Li, you are the heir of the Li family. Don't you feel sad that the Li Tang dynasty has changed its ruler? Do you know that His Majesty is going to pass the throne to the Wu family?"

Li Huaiyuan had a grief-stricken look on his face. He was an old minister of the Li Tang Dynasty. Seeing that the Li Tang dynasty had fallen into the hands of outsiders, he wished he could snatch the throne himself and let Li Xian sit on it.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Cunxi said helplessly:

"Minister Li must be joking. Your Majesty's business is your Majesty's business. As a minister, how can I speak nonsense about this matter?"

Li Huaiyuan's eyes widened with anger and he growled:

"You are the descendant of the late Duke Huang, and the legitimate heir of the Li family. His Majesty wants to give the Li Tang dynasty to the Wu family. Are you really not going to say a word, Lord Li?!"

Touching his nose, Li Cunxi smiled awkwardly:

"You are indeed stupid. Your Majesty has mentioned deposing and enthroning the crown prince. I wonder who in the Wu family Your Majesty wants to enthronize as the crown prince?"

"This..." Li Huaiyuan paused, "Your Majesty didn't say it clearly."

"It's not stated clearly, so why are you so anxious, Minister Li?" Li Cunxi laughed, "Cunxi is just the descendant of a criminal. Although I have served the country, I am also grateful to Your Majesty. I dare not say a word about the matter of deposing and enthroning the crown prince. I hope to be a minister to assist Your Majesty and help the country prosper forever."

"Don't forget that you are the heir of the Li family!" Li Huaiyuan said anxiously.

"I haven't forgotten, but after I became a sinner, everything I have now is granted by Your Majesty."

"Li Cunxi, if one day His Majesty passes the throne to the Wu family, what will you do?!"

"I will do my best to serve the new emperor!" Li Cunxi said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"The Crown Prince is in decline, the Prince of Xiang cannot compare to the Prince of Liang, the Prince of Wei does not fight for it, and Princess Taiping fights openly and secretly and flatters Your Majesty. All parties are vying for the position of Crown Prince. You are a hero of this time. At the age of thirteen, you are the Shao Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, a fourth-rank official. You should repay the king!" Li Huaiyuan was already a little hoarse.

Li Cunxi, who had sharp ears, heard the sound of footsteps behind him and guessed that Di Renjie and others had seen Li Huaiyuan's expression. They were afraid that Li Huaiyuan would be too angry and fight with them, so they rushed over here.

A certain poem comes to mind.

I think this occasion is the most appropriate.

Just be a plagiarist for once.

However, the person who wrote this poem was not born for almost 100 years, so I can say that I gave the poem a title in advance.

Exhaling, Li Cunxi held his head high and said in a righteous and solemn voice:

"Although Cunxi is young, he knows how to repay kindness. His Majesty not only does not care that Cunxi is the descendant of a criminal, but also entrusts him with important tasks, first the Youzhou case, then the Huzhou case, and now the Xue Mansion case. Cunxi is extremely grateful and is willing to die for His Majesty!"

"What's more, I am now an eighth-rank senior censor, which is a very high position for Cunxi! And Your Majesty did not think that Cunxi was humble, and granted him the position of Junior Magistrate of Jingzhao Prefecture from the fourth rank. This is a great favor from heaven, and how could Cunxi not work hard for it?"

"As for repaying the king, Cunxi will do his job and make his policies in his position, and everything else will be irrelevant. No matter where your majesty puts me, Cunxi will do my best for your majesty!"

"In the past, King Zhao of Yan built the Golden Tower, and the other day, Your Majesty entrusted me with an important task. How similar are these actions? I am not talented, but I am willing to serve Your Majesty with my body. Even if it affects the interests of others and causes them to secretly hire assassins to assassinate me, I am willing to die."

"This is just like 'Repaying your kindness on the Golden Terrace, I will die for you by supporting the Jade Dragon'!"

"Cunxi has no regrets in death!"

Li Cunxi was teaching Li Huaiyuan in front of him as if he was teaching a child.

After a long speech, Li Cunxi held his head high, put his hands behind his back, and glanced at Li Huaiyuan in front of him.

The old man was so surprised that he was speechless. After a long time, Li Huaiyuan seemed to be touched by Li Cunxi. He bowed deeply to Li Cunxi.

"Mr. Li's argument is truly divine and human. I will learn from it!"

"I hope Mr. Li will not take my previous words to heart. They were all just nonsense."

"I have another unwelcome request. I hope Lord Li can write the words 'Repay your kindness on the Golden Terrace, and die for you with the Jade Dragon' as a calligraphy and give it to me. I will come to the Di Mansion to get it soon."
