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

She hadn't been this excited in many years, and the indescribable joy made her unable to speak clearly.

Her head full of white hair made her look extremely lonely. On the way here, Li Xian, who had been firm in his belief and didn't say a second word, suddenly felt a lump in his throat.

After all, humans are emotional creatures. Except for those humans disguised as animals, the emotions of other humans can be communicated with each other.

At this moment, Li Xian looked at Wu Zhao's frail body, her head full of white hair, her wrinkled face, and her slightly trembling hands. He subconsciously wanted to say something caring, but the two figures occupied his entire mind again.

Li Xian: "We died miserably!"

Li Dan: "We died tragically!"

Li Xian quickly shook his head to clear the faces of his two younger brothers from his mind.

There was a time when he missed his two younger brothers very much, but later his two younger brothers insisted on dying, and the three brothers were separated by the Yin and Yang.

He looked up, glanced at the excited Wu Zhao, stood up again and said:

"I'm going back now. Take care of yourself. You should be more careful now that you're older."

Having not seen his mother for many years, Li Xian could not say a few good words to her. The hatred in his heart made him not want to face her, even though she was no longer the emperor.

The hatred between the Li clan and the Wu family could end in Li Cunxi's generation, but it could never end in Wu Zhao's generation. He had to be tough enough when facing this woman.

Thinking of his two younger brothers who died tragically, Li Xian stopped.

"Your Majesty asked me to visit you this time, so I came. But there won't be a next time. If Your Majesty asks me to come again, I won't come."

After saying that, Li Xian left without looking back.

Fang and Li Cheng had no choice but to follow them. The three of them got on the carriage and left Prince Xia's mansion.

Wu Zhao was exhausted and sat back on the chair.

For many people, this night is destined to be a sleepless night.

Di Renjie, who was well-informed, was pulled by Li Cunxi to discuss the posthumous title after learning that Li Xian went to see Wu Zetian.

These ministers had long thought that Li Cunxi would posthumously confer the title of Li Ai, but they did not expect that this day would come so early. However, this is understandable. The former Tang Dynasty had already perished, and in the current Tang Dynasty, Li Cunxi was considered the founding emperor.

If future generations wanted to distinguish the two Tang dynasties that emerged within a hundred years, they might call them Eastern Tang and Western Tang.

Li Cunxi's Tang Dynasty was the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

Di Renjie did not sleep well that night, but fortunately there was no court meeting the next day, so he simply took another nap.

When he woke up again, it was already time for dinner. After Di Renjie had tidied himself up, he ate in the side hall. He always felt that his appetite was not as big as before.

Just like before death, a person's body functions less effectively than when they were young.

Di Renjie himself was a doctor and he knew very well that his body was rolling downhill and at an increasingly faster speed.

Based on his own understanding, he was afraid he wouldn't have two years left.

After determining that his health was getting worse, Di Renjie was not pessimistic. After finishing his meal, he went to the government hall of Taichu Palace as usual to deal with the government affairs that needed to be handled today.

After being busy for most of the day and having his second meal in the Council of State, Di Renjie left Taichu Palace and came to the residence of Queen Wu Zhao of Xia.

The two chatted about family matters like close friends, and finally Di Renjie said goodbye and prepared to leave.

Having been with Di Renjie for so many years, Wu Zhao knew very well that Di Renjie was very different at this moment.

It seems like trying to see someone for the last time...

"Huaiying."

"Did something happen that you couldn't solve?"

"I can clearly feel from you that you seem to be saying goodbye to me now."

Di Renjie turned around and smiled, saying:

"I came to visit you, and now I'm going back. Isn't that saying goodbye?"

Wu Zhao sat on the chair with a calm expression:

"You know, the goodbye I said is not the goodbye you said. Did you notice something?"

Di Renjie's face was full of smiles, which was consistent with the benevolent demeanor he always displayed.

"But I was really just saying goodbye to my friend. We'll meet again."

……

Di Renjie visited the homes of ministers he was familiar with in the court and chatted and laughed with everyone. He was still the almighty prime minister.

But after the secret gang gathered together, they found that Di Renjie was looking for his students, old officials, and familiar friends to chat.

One of the rules that is not stated openly in the court is not to form cliques.

In such a short period of time, playing around in so many officials' houses, who knows what Lord Di is actually doing?

Although everyone knew that Di Renjie was a loyal minister, it was inevitable that he had to report to Li Cunxi.

Huang Shengyan brought the news into the imperial study and told Li Cunxi about it. Li Cunxi put down his brush, closed his eyes and thought.

"My uncle would never do anything harmful to me, but he went to the residence of an official he knew so well within a short period of time. There must be something fishy going on."

"However, I can conclude that it is definitely not an attempt to harm me."

"Then why is that?"

Li Cunxi leaned back, unable to figure out what Di Renjie was going to do.

Not long after, Di Renjie returned and asked Zhang Lin to take him into the palace to meet Li Cunxi.

The two men discussed in the imperial study and talked about various policies for governing the country.

Di Renjie stated his philosophy of governing the country in one breath, as if he hoped Li Cunxi could learn it.

Li Cunxi also tried his best to listen, but it was hard to say whether it would be useful or not.

With his current intelligence, he could almost understand everything Di Renjie said at once, and he could remember everything Di Renjie said immediately. Therefore, he silently absorbed these ideas on governing the country until Di Renjie finished speaking.

After taking a sip of the cold tea, Di Renjie put down the teacup, looked at Li Cunxi's face, and smiled.

"Cunxi, seventeen years ago, when you were three years old, I raised you in the Di Mansion in Shanxi. Seventeen years have passed in a flash, and you've grown up."

"Cunxi Cunxi means to hold onto hope. You have indeed become the hope for the successor of the Li family. The former Crown Prince and Prince Xiang were not mistaken in choosing you."

"I'm old and can't do it anymore. Now, you're the one I'm most confident in. I'm not worried about my three sons, Guangsi and Guangyuan. The only one I'm worried about is Guangzhao. Although he has reformed and is willing to work for the welfare of the people, he's... a little stupid and can't accomplish anything great."

"After I leave, I will select another talented person to assist the country. The Secretariat is a heavy responsibility and only capable people can take it."

Li Cunxi didn't listen and just nodded blindly.

He seemed to feel that Di Renjie's time might be up.

In the original history, Di Renjie seemed to have passed away during these two years.

"Uncle, please don't worry. When you go back tonight, bring two imperial doctors with you."

Li Cunxi licked his dry lips.

"You are in good health, old man. Please don't have any inappropriate thoughts. You are very healthy."

Di Renjie smiled slightly: "Cunxi, I'm leaving!"
