After a stick of incense, Di Renjie came to the study. He first gave Li Hong a gift to Li Hong and introduced his work at Dali Temple during this period. In fact, he was inspecting previous wrong cases and unjust cases and hearing previous wrong cases and false cases in various places. With the support of Su Dingfang and Le Yanwei, he completely controlled Dali Temple and found many wrong cases and false cases. For a time, he became synonymous with the people of Chang'an. When he thought of getting injustice, the first person the people thought of was Di Renjie, Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

So, when Li Hong stepped into the territory of Chang'an City, he heard about Di Renjie.

He was very happy.

If Di Renjie can achieve such achievements, if he promotes Di Renjie in the future, Empress Wu will not have anything to say.

In this way, for him, there was an additional backbone force that could compete with the Queen of War.

In addition to Zhang Jianzhi and Li Jiao who have already gained a foothold in front of Emperor Gaozong, Li Hong knew very well that his strength in the court would not belong to Empress Wu in the future, and his strength would only be greater and greater, and would not gradually weaken, because he is a combination of three generations of talents from old, middle-aged and young people. Empress Wu’s current confidant ministers are gradually getting older, and the newcomer does not have enough qualifications to move into the center. Li Hong believes that if Empress Wu cannot see this, as long as there are another four or five years, Empress Wu’s strength in the court will eventually be replaced by him.

And this is also the result that Li Hong wants to see.

After all, he could not do anything about the tragedy of mother and son. If he could reconcile with Empress Wu and let Emperor Gaozong give up his power and live a life with Emperor Gao, and hand over government affairs to him, Li Hong believed that he still had enough measures to be able to tolerate Empress Wu.

"Di Qing, you did a good job and didn't disappoint Gu." Li Hong said with relief after hearing this.

It was him who transferred Di Renjie to Chang'an and Dali Temple. Now that Di Renjie has achieved such a success, he is also glorious in the court. Of course, there are many people he promoted, including Zhang Jianzhi and Li Jiao, and the two of them were in the two provinces of Zhongshu and the subordinates, which made the prime ministers of Zhongshu very satisfied.

This made Li Hong unconsciously add the title of crown prince who has the wisest knowledge of others by the ministers in the court.

Since ancient times, kings have also been a science in identifying people. Because if you want to control an empire, you need to value and promote talented people and good people, and to prevent treacherous officials and mediocre talents from occupying the temple.

In ancient times, the emperors accounted for a large proportion of this subject in the princes.

Now Li Hong is wise and wise, which makes Emperor Gaozong like the successor he chose even more.

"Thank you for your cultivation. I haven't done it enough." Di Renjie said modestly. Just getting the title of a detective is not enough to satisfy Di Renjie. Di Renjie still has many ideals and revenge waiting for him to realize, but he was very happy under Li Hong's men because the prince appreciated him and supported him with all his strength. He only needed to do what he thought was worthy of the Tang Dynasty and the people, and he didn't need to consider anything else.

Of course, in many cases, he is not a reckless person. He is the prince's person. He is very clear about the battle between the prince and the empress. He will try his best to avoid or not touch many issues involving the prince.

Because he knows which one is more important.

"Di Qing, don't be polite to you here. What you do is good is good, it has nothing to do with the cultivation of Gu." Li Hong smiled, "There are not many people promoted by Gu. You, Li Jiao and Zhang Jianzhi, you all live in the temple. You all do well. Gu is very pleased. As long as you have your role models in front of you, I think that if Gu recommends others in the future, no one in the court will object."

The people Li Hong said that opposes naturally refer to Empress Wu and her gangsters, and Di Renjie is still very clear about this.

However, because Di Renjie knew it, he didn't know what to say.

Li Hong didn't make things difficult for him and said directly, "Liu Ju has been imprisoned in Dali Temple, isn't this clear?"

"I know that there has been additional staff to take care of him, and nothing will happen." Di Renjie promised that with the support of Su Dingfang and Le Yanwei, Di Renjie controlled Dali Temple as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Now everyone in Dali Temple follows his leader. He has absolute confidence to guarantee that as long as Liu Ju is imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple, it will be difficult for Liu Ju to come out without his orders.

"Di Qing, it's not difficult to lock up Liu Ju. The hard thing is how to use him to make a fuss." Li Hong said.

"What does Your Highness mean?" Di Renjie asked.

"Do you know the current situation in Luoyang?" Li Hong asked.

"Your Highness is saying that the Empress is building temples in Luoyang?" Di Renjie asked. He had long heard of Empress Wu's construction of White Horse Temple in Luoyang and preparing to place monks who were driven out of Chang'an City. Di Renjie had no idea about the dispute over Buddhism and Taoism. He felt that Buddhism and Taoism were both a culture and a religious belief, and there was no right or wrong. However, this involved the game between the two big figures, so Di Renjie had to pay attention.

Therefore, after carefully studying the current form, Di Renjie concluded that the establishment of national religion was conducive to the long-term stability of the Tang Dynasty, the spread of Tang culture, and the expansion of the Tang Dynasty territory.

As for Buddhism, Di Renjie thought that he was a bit evasive and was not very much acknowledged the idea of ​​taking refuge.

Just like many murderers commit serious crimes, hide in temples, become monks, and all the crimes are relieved, which is completely ineffective.

During this period of investigation, Di Renjie encountered many such cases. Most of them became monks when the murderer was found out, and the case was left unresolved. This phenomenon made Di Renjie very dissatisfied and absolutely dissatisfied.

"You should know that Gu is preparing to establish the state religion and wants to rectify the various religious schools in the Tang Dynasty so that the people can have a firm belief and not feel pessimistic, avoiding the world and evading the world. But now my mother has built the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, and has taken in monks from Dazhuangyan Temple and Dacien Temple that were driven out from Chang'an. She expressed her dissatisfaction with Gu's establishment in disguise. When building the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, she even wanted to compete with Gu's state religion." Li Hong said this, paused for a moment, and continued, "The National Church is at the beginning of its establishment. If there is another White Horse Temple, and it is so powerful, it will ignore us very much. Liu Ju is a Buddhist and is known as the reincarnation of the Buddha. Since we have captured him now, we should do something about him. What do you think?"

"Your Highness understands what you mean, but you have to think about it." Di Renjie said.

Li Hong made such a request inexplicably, and Di Renjie did not have time to consider it, so he naturally would not express his opinions immediately.

"There is no hurry to do this. Think slowly, when will you think clearly and then when will you tell me?" Li Hong said.

Because Lu Dongzan was arrested, Emperor Gaozong was very cautious about Lu Dongzan and specifically asked Li Hong to detain Liu Ju in the prison of Dali Temple, and specifically took Lu Dongzan to see him in Luoyang. Therefore, Li Hong had enough time to make a fuss about Liu Ju.

"I understand." Di Renjie said.

Suddenly, Di Renjie wanted to speak but stopped.

Li Hong asked, "Di Qing, do you have anything else to say?"

"Your Highness, when we investigated the Helan Minzhi corruption case a few months ago, we found that this case was unusual. It was because of many obstacles before that it did not continue. But now it is different from before. Your Highness has the right to deal with government affairs west of Chang'an without asking Your Majesty. I also control Dali Temple and have enough energy to investigate this case. What I want to ask is, is it better for us to continue investigating?" Di Renjie asked.

Di Renjie was worried about the failure to thoroughly investigate the corruption case in the East and West City.

Now that he has become the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and has taken control of Dali Temple, he naturally wants to find out the case that has not been found out.

This is Di Renjie's character. He either doesn't do it, but he has to do it very well.

"Di Qing, you are so lonely, but now is not the time." Li Hong refused. He also wanted to find out this case and completely eliminate the borers parasitized in the Tang Dynasty's officialdom. But now Gaozong is not in Chang'an City, and he wants to conquer Tubo again. At this time, Di Renjie will investigate and deal with the corruption case. Without him or Gaozong in charge of Chang'an City, there will be big problems in the overall situation.

Di Renjie was a little puzzled.

Li Hong explained, "Di Qing, the big shots behind the corruption case are very important, not overnight, or just one person can find out their background. Now that my father is no longer Chang'an City, he is going to go to Tubo again, and only Su Xiang and Le Yanwei are in charge in Chang'an City. If you investigate this case at this time, you may be subject to great resistance. If it is handled improperly, there may be big problems."

"The Tang Dynasty had a good form on the battlefield in Liaodong. But if you want to conquer Goryeo and Silla, Baekje still needs time, and I will conquer Tubo again. In this case, the Tang Dynasty's officialdom needs a stable environment. What do you think?" Li Hong asked back.

After Li Hong's explanation, Di Renjie also felt that the prince was right and stopped talking.

"By the way, isn't the Chongwenguan Classics Office printing a large number of books now? You have great ideas and opinions on the criminal prison. Otherwise, you should write a book based on the same subject in this regard." Li Hong said, "There are so many wrong and unjust cases in the Tang Dynasty. In many cases, it is not that officials are not diligent, it is not that they don't want to show their excuses for the people, it is that they do not have the ability, because no one is omnipotent. I think many officials need your experience and opinions in this regard."

"Of course, let the coroners of Dali Temple have a manuscript of autopsy, and I am preparing to promote it to coroners of county governments across the country, so that the autopsy becomes an indispensable part of the case trial process." Li Hong said.

He wanted to improve the case trial system of the Tang Dynasty and guide the officials of the Tang Dynasty to use scientific methods to judge cases, rather than relying on his own little insight.

Di Renjie was shocked at first, and then when he heard Li Hong finish his words, he nodded slightly and agreed to Li Hong's request.

"Your Highness, when will you go to Luoyang?" Di Renjie suddenly asked. Li Hong thought for a while and replied, "The emperor's will has not arrived yet. I have to wait for today. What's wrong? Is there anything that happened to Di Qing?"

"No, I just ask." Di Renjie said, "I think Luoyang is not safe during this period. If Your Highness goes to Luoyang, you need to be careful."

In fact, Di Renjie didn't know how he asked this sentence, but he just wanted to care about Li Hong's meaning. Maybe without Li Hong, he would not have the current him, and he would not have realized his ideals and revenge. Therefore, Di Renjie would be so close to Li Hong!

"Di Qing, have you got married?" Li Hong smiled faintly and asked suddenly.

Di Renjie was stunned and replied, "I already have a family."

"Don't stay in Dali Temple in the future. Go home more when you have time." Li Hong said. He heard that Di Renjie has been living and living in Dali Temple for the past few months in order to investigate the case, and has been dealing with official duties day and night. He likes such officials very much, but whoever really wants to work so hard will feel distressed. Because a talented person like Di Renjie, the longer his life will be, the more helpful it will be to Li Hong. He doesn't want Di Renjie to die early because of his hard work.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Di Renjie said. When he found that the prince had nothing to say to him, he said goodbye and left. As soon as Di Renjie left, Yuchi Xunyan, Cheng Dazhi and Xue Yan came to find Li Hong together.

Yuchi Xunyan, Cheng Dazhi and Xue Yan walked into the study and bowed to Li Hong. Li Hong nodded slightly and said, "Why are you here today?"

"We have come to see Your Highness and report something to Your Highness by the way." Yuchi Xunyan said.

The three of them now have their own things to take care of. Today they appear here to report their own things to Li Hong.

Because of the particularity of their respective work, Li Hong asked Cheng Dazhi to speak first.

Cheng Dazhi said, "During this period, the operations of the Dog Fighting Stadium, the Gladiatorium and the Polo Stadium have already been on track, and the income is also very stable. The Dog Fighting Stadium has a profit of 3,000 guan a day, 90,000 guan a month, and about one million guan a year can earn about one million guan a year. The income of the Polo match is similar to that of the Dog Fighting Stadium, but with the progress of the game, the income will double after tomorrow, and the income in a year will be about two million guan a year. Because the investment in the Arena is relatively large, even if the revenue is very high, the actual profit is not much, and the income in a year is about two million guan."

"In this way, I calculated that the dog fighting arena and the gladiatorium, plus the polo stadium, the total annual income is about 5 million knots." Cheng Dazhi said. He was very satisfied with this income. After all, he was able to make such profits at the beginning of today, which made him very satisfied.

"Because the manor outside the city needs to be built, and according to the requirements of His Highness, the construction requirements are very high, so the cost is huge, and it has already been spent on one million yuan, but the manor is about to be completed." Cheng Dazhi continued.

"Not bad!" Li Hong was very satisfied with Cheng Dazhi's performance. "Cheng Dazhi, you did a good job, I am very satisfied with it."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Cheng Dazhi said.

He was already very content to get Li Hong's affirmation, because what Li Hong gave him to him in this job was equivalent to working for the prince. Whether the prince is satisfied now means that the prince will reward him after he ascends to the throne in the future, and he dare not neglect him.

After Cheng Dazhi finished speaking, Xue Yan said, "Your Highness, the iron guards in the manor have been almost trained. Although the two thousand iron guards cannot be compared with your personal guards, there is absolutely no problem in protecting the safety of the manor. Please rest assured."

Before, Xue Yan was not very satisfied with Li Hong's request to protect the manor, and felt that he had ignored him a little. Now when he knew what the prince was going to do to build the manor, he knew that the prince asked him to act as the general of the manor's guard. How great is this responsibility and how trust the prince trusted him.

This made Xue Yan's blood boil when training his soldiers and he felt endless energy in his whole body.

Within three months of the time a group of iron guards has already achieved its current strength.

It’s not that everyone is hardworking, it’s Xue Yan’s desperate training, who dares not fight to the death?

"Xue Yan, now do you know the importance of the manor to orphans?" Li Hong asked.

"I understand the end." Xue Yan replied loudly.

"Whether the manor is safe is related to the safety of the Tang Dynasty. I will give you the safety of the manor to you. Don't let me disappoint you!" Li Hong warned.

"Please rest assured that your highness is the last person to guarantee that there will be no mistakes in the manor." Xue Yan promised.

"I believe in you." Li Hong said.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Xue Yan said moved.

A word of belief is enough to make Xue Yan work hard for Li Hong, because what Xue Yan needs is affirmation, and Li Hong's belief gives him affirmation, which is enough.

After getting the affirmation of the prince, Cheng Dazhi and Xue Yan left with tactfully.

Because they knew what Yuchi Xunyan was doing, and what the prince wanted to say to Yuchi Xunyan was not something they could hear.

"What's going on in Luoyang recently?" Li Hong asked directly when Xue Yan and Cheng Dazhi left.

"When you go back to Your Highness, in addition to building the White Horse Temple, the Empress is recruiting talents, especially young talents. She seems to have realized that the confidant ministers around her are not in line with each other." Yuchi Xunyan said.

"I am worthy of being the Queen of Martial Arts!" Li Hong sighed. It was really hard to deal with when he realized his weakness so quickly.

"What about other aspects?" Li Hong asked.

"During the time when Your Highness left, the Empress had frequent contact with Buddhist disciples, and they seemed to have reached some kind of agreement." Yuchi Xunyan said cautiously.

"Have you found their details?" Li Hong asked. He was very calm because he had thought of this a long time ago.

"No." Yuchi Xunyan said, "But I guess it may be related to Liu Ju's rebel."

"It's Liu Ju's rebel again!" Li Hong was angry. Liu Ju's rebel is really his nemesis!

"My minister has already handed over the matter of Liu Ju's rebels to Zhou Xing. If your highness wants to know, you can ask him to ask." Yuchi Xunyan said.

"Okay, I understand." Li Hong nodded slightly, "Liu Ju has been put into the prison of Dali Temple. Di Renjie is preparing to use Liu Ju to make a fuss. He wants to put some pressure on Wu Empress. You must cooperate with him well."

"I will go to see Di Shaoqing later." Yuchi Xunyan said.

Li Hong nodded slightly.

Yuchi Xunyan told Li Hong something again and left in a hurry. (To be continued)
