After returning, Wei Zheng reminded Di Renjie: "Changsun Wuji is a man who is hard to settle down. You are young and energetic and should not be too close to him, and you must even be careful."

Di Renjie did not expect that Wei Zheng was so kind to him. Ordinary people would not remind him of these things. These are all taboos in the officialdom. Who dares to say that he has no other relationship with Changsun Wuji?

After following Wei Zheng for a few days, he was so heart-warming, which shows how much he valued Di Renjie.

This is because Di Renjie does not understand the situation in the court. Changsun Wuji has always been in the same faction as Wei Zheng. When Wei Zheng assisted the crown prince Li Jiancheng, Changsun Wuji designed the Xuanwu Gate. The two can be said to be a long-standing political rival. It would be light for Changsun Wuji to say a few bad words to him.

Besides, Changsun Wuji had offended Bai Fan, and Wei Zheng and Bai Fan were famous close friends, so they were naturally better to Di Renjie. Moreover, Bai Fan said clearly in his letter that this child is a material that can be made and needs to be polished and taught carefully.

"Thank you for your advice from Master Wei. The student remembers that Master said that the man was a smiling tiger. Although he had a lot of talent, he was a little arrogant.

Students can read this by reading his Tang Rule comments." Di Renjie said sincerely.

Wei Zheng was not surprised to Bai Fan for this comment on Changsun Wuji, but it was amazing to hear that Di Renjie had such knowledge. He was only fourteen years old. He really has this ability? Can you see a person's nature from a book?

"Boy, don't be swearing. Changsun Wuji has been in the officialdom for many years and has been hidden in many people. Many old ministers in the court cannot understand. You, a child in elementary school, dare to judge like this? The Tang Dynasty's comments that he had meticulously studied in seclusion for three years were praised by His Majesty. It is the first rule that I have implemented in the Tang Dynasty. Do you dare to criticize?" Wei Zheng pretended to be angry, but in fact he was taking the exam for Di Renjie.

You should know that Wei Zheng is a person who even the emperor dares to point at the nose every day and say it is not. How could he really be convinced by a minister?

"Haha, what's the matter? Although his Tang Dynasty Commentary seems to have revised the old laws, formulated new regulations, and reduced a lot of torture, it is a very reflective of benevolent politics.

But he still did not escape the cage of conservatism, and the revisions he made were all because of the benevolent government requested by His Majesty. If His Majesty once said that integrity is the first priority, then he may have a heavier punishment for officials when he revises this law.

To put it bluntly, he is flattering His Majesty. As a powerful minister of the country, he holds fairness and power in the world. He does not start from the needs of the people, but from the thoughts of the superiors, he can see his nature.

In the future, Di Renjie will enter the court and will revise the Tang Dynasty's laws and abolish this law!"

Di Renjie was a little lost as he spoke. He thought he was a free debate at Zhongnan Academy and forgot that he was at Wei Zheng's home.

After listening quietly, Wei Zheng felt a storm in his heart. What a storm. Di Renjie, fourteen years old, and he is also fourteen years old. Who would say that he can surpass Bai Fan in the future? I will never refute it anymore. It can be foresee that another monster will appear in the next generation of the Tang Dynasty. No wonder Bai Fan wants to send him to me.

"Okay, don't forget your identity. You are here to learn, not to speak out loud. Remember the first lesson I gave you yesterday. As a censor, being a censor, dying advice is not the goal, and preserving yourself to accomplish great things is the ability.

It is not a good thing for you to show your strength too sharply. You cannot talk about the topic today. Unless you have the ability to do the prime minister in the future, you will be qualified to stand in front of others to judge the right and wrong of the predecessors.

Do you remember it clearly?" Wei Zheng mentioned, but he didn't say anything harsh. So what if he was talking about Changsun Wuji at home? So what if he scolded him?

On the other hand, Changsun Wuji was not idle either. Bai Fan’s Zhongnan Academy was getting bigger and bigger, and there were more and more talents. It has even become common for him to break the old system and directly send students to the Zhengshi Hall for internships and experiences. The Zhengshi Hall was almost becoming the second class of Zhongnan Academy. It would be a great thing to go on for a long time.

So Changsun Wuji came to the Political Consultation Hall and found Emperor Li Er, wanting to explain his hidden worries.

After listening quietly, Li Er frowned slightly and said, "I know Di Renjie, this boy is not very talented, very mediocre. As for his experience with Xuan Cheng, he is just good at word and wants to learn to become a censor. I know this, what? Could it be that Xuan Cheng has omissions in his actions?"

Changsun Wuji said, "Your Majesty misunderstood. I am not doing it for Di Renjie, but I feel that Hong Qianli was promoted by Du Xiang's experience in front of me, and now Di Renjie is following Wei Zheng to practice in the same place.

My courtroom is not a nursery school at Zhongnan Academy. Of course, this is nothing, but judging from Du Xiang and Xuan Cheng's intention, it is very likely that they want these kids to take over directly in the future. Your Majesty, don't you think that this is Bai Fan's disguised interference in the changes in the official?"

Li Er smiled and said, "Auxiliary, it's serious. I have seen Hong Qianli's ability. The future talent of the prime minister can be recognized by Jian Zhi and Keming. That is his own ability. Isn't the country lacking these capable young men? Don't be so suspicious of Jian Zhi's a little unhappy back then. You are my right hand and I don't want to see you disagree."

"Your Majesty, if one day the Political Affairs Hall is full of his personal disciples of Bai Fan, would you ask if the future political orders are from Your Majesty or from Bai Fan?" Changsun Wuji said seriously.

His Majesty Li Er's smile instantly froze, and then he remained silent for a long time.

There is no monarch in the world who is unsuspecting. Even if Li Er trusts Bai Fan very much, is there any hurried reminder of "his own people" like Changsun Wuji?

Li Er was silent for a long time and said, "I once said that as long as Bai Fan can cultivate thousands of Bai Fans for the Tang Dynasty, I dare not make any doubts. When the Imperial College was abolished and the Tang Dynasty education was all handed over to Zhongnan Academy for the first time, I asked this question myself. For the sake of the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years, I was willing to make a big bet.

Besides, don’t your and my children all study in academy for enlightenment? If they learn all their skills in the future, can they still be close to their masters or not?

As for the fact that the Zhengshi Hall is all disciples of Zhongnan Academy, there is no doubt that the future generation will definitely be the world of young people. If you, the uncle, can’t sit still? I don’t believe it. All my sons are not good at all, and I can’t produce an emperor and a general who can rule the world!”

Li Er's words made Changsun Wuji speechless and cried in his heart, "Your Majesty, this is not the time to shout slogans and be ambitious. Although I don't want to admit it, most of our younger children are incompetent. My eldest son Changsun Chong and Cheng Huaimu of the Cheng family became disciples one day. After studying until now, even Cheng Huaimu can't compare with him. He is afraid he will regret it later in the future!
