Chapter 95

After Lu Xin and Li Chunfeng got off the Longshouyuan, they went straight to Wei Zheng's mansion in Dongcheng. It was already in the morning, and all civil and military officials had already gone to court.

The guards of the Wei Mansion were all soldiers sent by the court, and they were very ruling and did not have the same power as the servants of the Qian Mansion. After the notice, Wei Qing took the scholar and Yue Buhei out of the mansion to greet him personally.

While walking towards the main hall, the scholar exchanged greetings. When he saw Lu Xin, he immediately shouted that he would go to the Prince's Mansion of Hejian to visit the Yang sisters. Lu Xin naturally wanted to take a look at Yang Xiu's injuries, but before leaving, he had to thank the owner of the mansion.

Wei Zheng was very helpful when the three departments were held to try. Moreover, Wei Zheng and Qian Hai were very close friends, and they were also considered their elders. If they were favored by others, they would leave without saying a word, it was not a way of being a human being.

"From the master's appearance, I should have thought of meeting this secretary and supervisor. If I remember correctly, Wei Zheng would have taken the position of prime minister in the future. Moreover, in the entire Tang Dynasty, he was the only one who dared to contradict Li Shimin and directly advised the emperor!"

Lu Xin's grades were not good when he was studying. Although he read some history textbooks from junior high school because of his cousin Lu Tingfang, he didn't have a deep impression. He only remembered that the word "Wei Zheng" was a rich and powerful stroke in history books. He was one of the few direct officials in feudal society for more than two thousand years. Although Wei Zheng was only a third-rank secretary in the third year of Zhenguan, he was the most important figure in the Tang Dynasty court in the middle of Zhenguan. Moreover, in history books, Wei Zheng's name was still above Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others.

Perhaps because of the official position, the Wei Mansion was not big. Compared with Changsun Wuji's Duke's Mansion, it even seemed a little shabby. Within a few minutes, Lu Xin and others arrived at the main hall of the mansion. From a distance, they saw Wei Zheng, who had changed his official uniform, wearing a blue shirt, holding a book, sitting reading and drinking tea.

Wei Zheng is nearly forty years old, but his appearance looks only in his early thirties and is very young. He is full of righteousness. No matter who sees him, the admiration in his heart will arise naturally.

Suddenly, Wei Zheng suddenly raised his head, his eyes sharp, and he stabbed like lightning. In an instant, Lu Xin seemed to fly into the clouds, and there was void in all directions west, and there was no place to reach the world or the ground. This feeling was indescribable. Although it lasted only two seconds, Lu Xin always felt that he had just gone to another world.

When he looked at Wei Zheng again, he saw that his eyes were only staring at Li Chunfeng. Lu Xin suddenly felt something was strange. Could it be that this third-rank official of the court had already seen Li Chunfeng's uniqueness?

"Uncle, brother Lu Xin is here to bid farewell to thank his uncle for saving his life."

"It's serious. Wei is just speaking impartially, and it's not a blessing to save lives. Since he's here, just sit down and have some snacks before leaving. Qing'er, order someone to serve tea."

Wei Zheng put down the book. Although it was about Lu Xin's affairs, he nodded and smiled faintly at Li Chunfeng. Moreover, this time he called himself "Wei" instead of "the official", which made people feel much more intimate. Lu Xin didn't know whether it was because of the historical records or because of Wei Qing, he had an inexplicable favor and trust in the person in front of him.

"This immortal master has an extraordinary demeanor and unfathomable cultivation. I wonder where he practiced before?"

"I live without a fixed place and wander around the world. But I have heard that Lord Wei is just and wise and dares to directly advise the emperor. I have long wanted to visit him. When I see him today, I am really a rich person."

What shocked Lu Xin was that as soon as everyone sat down, Wei Zheng asked Li Chunfeng straight to the point and directly. It would be nothing if he asked about something else, but Wei Zheng could see at a glance that Li Chunfeng was an Onmyoji, and using the four words "unfathomable" to describe his cultivation, which shows how good his eyesight was. In fact, if Li Chunfeng was just a stranger walking by the roadside, with Lu Xin's current eyesight, he would not be able to tell whether he had magic power, let alone the level of his cultivation.

"Can't this... Wei Zheng is also Onmyoji?"

Lu Xin was shocked, and a terrible thought suddenly flashed through his heart. At this moment, he couldn't help but remember the novel "Journey to the West" that he had read when he was a child. The beginning of the article said that the Dragon King of Jinghe privately tampered with the time and points of rain because he was betting with the diviner, and was found by the Jade Emperor. Heaven was furious and issued an order to order Wei Zheng, who came down to earth to kill the dragon. After learning the news, the Dragon King of Jinghe asked Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty to help him survive.

Li Shimin felt pity and agreed. So he deliberately Xuan Wei Zheng played chess with him when he was about to be executed so that the Dragon King of Jinghe could escape the disaster. Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng was dozing while playing chess, and his soul fell into a dream, and he still cut off the dragon head of the Dragon King of Jinghe...

Lu Xin would definitely not believe such a ridiculous story before. But now he traveled back to the Tang Dynasty and saw Wei Zheng with his own eyes, he suddenly became a little confused. The ancients usually wrote books with evidence, and even novels would not completely make up.

Although I don’t know if there are dragons in this world, the person in front of me is definitely not an ordinary mortal. Otherwise, why did Li Chunfeng deliberately move into the Qian Mansion, and he is not close to Wei Zheng, who has no high official position and has no title yet?

If his idea is correct, it seems that it can be explained why Wei Zheng, the only one in such a large court, dared to directly advise Li Shimin. He even often contradicted the Emperor Tang, and could not even eat. On the other ministers, Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin are in good condition, right? But when will this founding elder dare to challenge Li Shimin?

"Hahaha, the immortal master praised it. Wei is just a civil servant who has never made military achievements and is a surrendered minister. I am afraid it will be difficult for His Majesty to be valued."

Wei Zheng took the fragrant tea handed over by his maid, took a sip and put it down. Li Chunfeng didn't look at him, but drank the water in the teacup in one go.

"This may not be necessary. Looking at the face of Lord Wei, the heavenly court is full and the stars are shining brightly, which is the appearance of heaven and man. Emperor Tang knows people and has good use, and has a broad mind. How could he miss a good minister like you? If you, Lord Wei, cannot even be valued, then the Tang Dynasty will soon repeat the mistakes of the Great Sui Dynasty."

As Li Chunfeng finished speaking, everyone was stunned. Wei Qing had just sat down and prepared to have tea. After reaching out his right hand, he shook halfway. The scholar was so scared that the tea splashed everywhere and coughed wildly on the side. Even Wei Zheng frowned, and a hint of horror flashed in his eyes.

What does it mean to repeat the mistakes of the Sui Dynasty? In 589 AD, the father and son of the Yang family went south to destroy Chen, unified the Central Plains, and established the Sui Dynasty. However, in 618, it was banned by the Tang Dynasty, less than 30 years later. This time was too short for a country and a dynasty, and it was simply a shame. If Li Chunfeng's words were spread, it would be equivalent to cursing the Tang Dynasty to destroy the country. If it was investigated in depth, it would be a serious crime to kill the nine clans.

"Although the immortal master's words praise Wei, Wei really dare not take it. However, the world today is indeed internal and external troubles, and the situation is turbulent. The vassal kings, aristocratic families, wealthy families, Turks in the north, Tubo in the west, and Goguryeo in the northeast are all eyeing our Tang Dynasty. There are even countless old ministers of the Sui Dynasty lurking everywhere, waiting for opportunities to move. The immortal master is a practitioner. Have you ever heard of a sect in Yangzhou called Baihua Valley?"

"A little heard."

Seeing Wei Zheng speak, Li Chunfeng smiled, as if he didn't care about what he said just now. The change in the topic finally made the scholar, Wei Qing and others feel relieved.

"Brother Xin, your master really dares to say anything. But looking at Master Wei's appearance, he seems to respect him very much."

"Hmph, that's natural. My master...ah, forget it, why are you talking about these things? Let's just listen honestly when talking about things from elders."

"White heard that Yang Guang was left with blood in this Baihua Valley. This matter is quite a bit serious, but he was unable to get it to the court without a certificate. According to the Immortal Master, if you want to find out this matter, how should you do it?"

"Hahaha, what Lord Wei said is the disciples of Baihua Valley, Yang Yan and Yang Miao. If they are really these two people, they should not provoke them."

"How do you say this?"

Wei Zheng frowned, as if he was a little surprised. Li Chunfeng ignored him and suddenly stood up from his seat. Then he looked at the sky outside the hall and his voice began to become a little low.

"The brother and sister have already returned to nature and refined the Ziwei Tianhuo. With the current situation of the Tang Dynasty court, there is no extra power to deal with them. Besides, the Lord of the Baihua Valley, although he is a woman, has a very high cultivation level and has the great power to move mountains and fill the sea. If Lord Wei wants to make a contribution and make the emperor value it, it may be a dangerous move."

"Oh? What if you add the immortal master? The court is using people. Your Majesty is so kind to open a discipline and seek talent. If there are such a talent as an immortal master in this court, why worry about not being able to create the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Hahahaha... Lord Wei is indeed a loyal minister. I have drunk the tea, so I won't bother you anymore. I'm going to be late, so I'll be rude if I don't go to the Prince's Mansion of Hejian County."

Li Chunfeng laughed loudly, withdrew his gaze and walked straight out of the mansion. Although Lu Xin was a little confused, he did not dare to hesitate. After paying tribute to Wei Zheng, he hurriedly followed him. Seeing this, the scholar and Yue Buhei naturally would not stay. Wei Qing was responsible for leading the way and followed a few people out of the mansion.

On the way to Yongfufang, the master and apprentice walked at the last head of the crowd. Lu Xin couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked, "Don't the master want to enter the court? I heard what Master Wei meant just now, and he should have the intention of recommending it. Why is the master in a hurry to leave with such a good opportunity?"

"Haha, he does mean to recommend it. However, this person has a high level of cultivation, but he is willing to hide in the court. I don't know what his purpose is. He has heard of his deeds in his early years. The approaching of this matter is nothing more than to confirm some of the ideas in his heart. As for other things, it's better to get through tonight's disaster first and then plan."
