Chapter 904 Di Renjie and Wei Zheng

Facts have proved that the entertainment of gambling stones was not only popular in later generations, but also became more popular in the Tang Dynasty when everyone liked to gambling.

The first stone gambling competition in the Tang Dynasty was held by Bai Fan and King Feng Ang of Yue. Both of them took this opportunity to make a fortune. The most expensive person in the casino was not the richest man Bai Fan, but the richest emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty. This old man had too much money to fit in the palace, so he never watched it.

This day, gambling stones were even more expensive, and they picked up large pieces of stones, but the old man was never lucky. He couldn't win the martial arts competition, and this time he still lost most of the gambling stones. So Li Yuan was angry and wanted to buy all the stones in the audience and open them one by one to see.

This action made everyone sweat. Bai Fan and others hurriedly persuaded him, and finally he had to let the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan be the referee before giving up.

Since then, the Tang Dynasty stone gambling conference has become a common entertainment event in the wealthy circle, and even a stone gambling venue has been set up in Chang'an Entertainment City for many years.

A few days later, a man came to the mansion of Wei Zheng, Duke of Zheng in Chang'an City, today, holding Bai Fan's letter, and visited the door. It was the young Di Renjie.

Wei Zheng read the letter carefully, pondered for a moment, and said to Di Renjie, "Do you know what your master asked you to come to me for?"

Di Renjie said respectfully, "I don't know, the teacher told me before leaving the door that I only brought my eyes and ears to you, but not my mouth."

Wei Zheng laughed, "You master is so cunning, even your disciples are so sly. If you come to me for a year, I am half of your master, so you don't have to hide your words."

"The student met Master Wei, and his family teacher gave instructions. You are a counselor of the Tang Dynasty and a famous minister. I asked me to follow you to read more, listen more, and talk less, so the students dare not act rashly." Di Renjie gave Wei Zheng a half-teacher ceremony and spoke again.

Wei Zheng smiled and said self-mockery, "Advisor? Your master has raised me very high, but in comparison, he has truly obtained the essence of a prophecy. Has your master taught you how to speak out?"

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "No, my master said that I am good at governing and criminal law, and I have never taught me how to be a censor."

"That's right. Zhongnan Academy is full of talents. There are no less than five people like you who are talented as a prime minister. And you, Di Renjie, are the youngest and will definitely achieve the greatest success in the future. Wouldn't it be a loss to be just a censor?" Wei Zheng said to himself.

"Why is this? What is the achievement? How does it have something to do with age?" Di Renjie asked in confusion.

Wei Zheng explained: "It's the age that Your Majesty is in full swing in the spring and autumn today, but thirty years later, how old are your senior brothers? How old are you in thirty years later? So you, Di Renjie, are not the mainstay of this generation, but the mainstay of the next day. It is very important for you to recognize this."

Di Renjie bowed and said, "The students have been taught."

"Your master is good at speaking and is the best censor, but he doesn't teach you how to advise others, so he didn't ask you to come to me to learn to be a minister, but he asked you to come to me to learn how to protect yourself."

"The student is confused, please tell me clearly."

"Since ancient times, there has been a saying that Wen and Wu will fight to the death. Do you know what the key to the death is to advise him?" Wei Zhengkao taught.

Di Renjie replied, "Forcing each other to die to force the monarch to wake up."

"Wrong, it's a big mistake. It's not the goal to advise death. Advice is not the goal, but the goal is the goal. We are in power and are called prime ministers. How dare we say death at all times? An excellent censor's first priority is to learn to protect himself. Only by preserving his life can you do something longer. If you give your life away, how can you talk about serving the country and the people in the future?"

Di Renjie thought it was wrong. You, Lord Wei, are known for being upright and not being ill. Every time you advise the king, don’t you always advise him for death?

Wei Zheng didn't understand what Di Renjie was thinking, and explained with a smile, "Silly boy, I'm sure to survive every time. Your master always laughed at me and said that Wei Wei was a sarcastic man. To put it bluntly, he asked you to come to me to learn how to save your life by saving your life."

Di Renjie stood there on the spot, but he didn't expect that in his impression, the most upright person in the Tang Dynasty could say such humorous words, and Wei Zheng's image changed drastically in his mind.

"Tomorrow you will go with me to join the company and be a clerk with me first. Remember, if you have the opportunity to enter and exit the military airport so early, you must seize the opportunity and learn more." Wei Zheng reminded.

The next day, Wei Zheng brought Di Renjie to the Tang Dynasty Political Affairs Hall. At this time, the Tang Dynasty was not a complete system of three provinces and six ministries, but it was just the prototype of three provinces and six ministries. The control still maintained many old post titles in the Han Dynasty, but there were also many new changes.

The office of the ministers is not called Liudu, but Zhengshitang. In fact, it is also a palace, next to the palace. When the ministers go to court, they can go back to their own territory and work directly.

When everyone was surprised to see Wei Zheng bringing a child in. Could it be that Old Wei was trying to get out of his way and began to take in apprentices? So they surrounded him.

Wei Zheng explained: "Don't misunderstand me, this is Jian Zhi's little disciple Di Renjie. He is about to graduate. Jian Zhi asked him to come out for a while and experience it. I have reported to His Majesty and let him be a clerk with me."

Du Ruhui knew Di Renjie and knew very well that this kid's talent was very clear. He was a young talent with an unlimited future. He thought he would be trained by Fang Xuanling, but unexpectedly, he was placed next to the stinky old Wei.

Changsun Wuji spoke, "It turns out that he is Di Renjie, a genius case-breaking master at Mingman Academy. I have heard the two boys of my family come back and talk about you, saying that you are a god at a young age, and even your master Bai Fan is not as good as you. What are you learning from Lao Wei? Do you learn from his stubborn temper? Why don't you follow me and develop the law in Xingzhu in the future?"

Wei Zheng introduced: "This is the national uncle Changsun Wuji.

I said to old fox, what do you mean? Do you say that I, Old Wei, are you not as good as you? Why can't I take care of this child?"

In order to smooth things over for Di Renjie, Wei Zheng also stood up and played nonsense.

When Di Renjie heard that it was Changsun Wuji, he had a certain position on this person. He was the number one fox in the court and was still unknown to us. Although he was classmates with his son Changsun Chong and Changsun Huan, the news said that he had a gap with his master.

"Students often read Uncle Changsun's Tang Rule Commentary. They always have different experiences when reading it. After Master Wei and I learn to be a Zhongliu counselor, we will ask Uncle Changsun's legal and criminal prison knowledge. After all, students have limited talent and cannot use it in a single way."

"Okay, okay, I'm waiting for your day to learn. If you can learn from the third place, I can have another righteous and selfless good minister in the Tang Dynasty." Changsun Wuji laughed.
