"Yangchun Baixue" is one of the top ten famous guqin songs. It is said that it was written by Shi Kuang, a musician from Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period. This famous song represents the beautiful scenery of early spring when winter goes and spring, the earth revives, and all things are thriving. Its melody is very fresh and smooth, and the rhythm is relaxed and bright. In addition, Zhao Hongchun has a high attainment in Guzheng. The melody flows out from her fingertips, allowing people to hear the sound of the snow bamboo that knows spring and the calm wind from her piano.

"Zheng--!"

When the sound of the piano came to an end, Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi and Li Jiao, who followed Yan Zhuang to Tangyuan, came to his senses. Seeing that the prince Li Hong was waiting for them in the pavilion, they immediately stepped forward to salute Li Hong.

"No need to be too polite, come and sit down!" Li Hong said with a smile, and invited the group to the pavilion.

There had been a table in the pavilion, and there was a brazier next to the table, with yellow wine warming on it. As soon as you entered the pavilion, heating came in, and then bursts of wine fragrance came from the pot, with a charming fragrance.

Di Renjie met Li Hong for the first time, but he was not as casual as Zhang Jianzhi and Li Jiao. He was not in the last place until Li Hong, Zhang Jianzhi and Li Jiao took over.

Li Hong didn't say anything about this, but just looked at Di Renjie carefully and found that he was not tall and had a little thin face, but his eyes were bright and bright, and he was only about thirty years old. However, when standing in front of everyone, he was calm and had the style of a knowledgeable man.

Li Hong knew Di Renjie well. During the Zhenguan period, Di Renjie was appointed as the Bianzhou judge and assistant minister after the Ming Jing exam. Later, under the recommendation of Yan Liben, he served as the legal chief of the Bingzhou Governor's Office. This time he was able to let Di Renjie come to Chang'an City privately because of the relationship between Yan Liben and Di Renjie.

After the four of them sat down, Yanzhuang filled everyone with wine. Li Hong raised his glass and said, "Although the environment in Tangyuan is quiet, it is too cold. Let's drink a glass to warm up the body first, let's talk about the serious matter!"

The reason why he invited everyone here to talk was to prevent the conversation from being overheard by the Queen of Wu's eyeliner. Because today's conversation is different from the past, and Tangyuan is empty, and it is difficult for someone to hide if they want to eavesdrop. In addition, the weather is so cold, if there is no warmth, it will be difficult for people to stay here for a long time. It is indeed a good place to speak!

"Your Highness, please!" Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi and Li Jiao raised their glasses and drank them all in one go.

After drinking a glass of wine, everyone felt much warmer. Zhang Jianzhi said, "Your Highness invites us to Tangyuan tonight. Are there any important matters to discuss?"

"Yes." Li Hong stopped talking, put down his cup and said bluntly, "First, it is about the tragedy in Huaxian County. Zhang Deyu, the young minister of Dali Temple, has been leaving Chang'an for several days, but no news has been heard yet. It can be seen that the case may not have made any progress yet. We have to send people to Huaxian County to supervise as planned; second, it is the tax issue in the East and West cities. Today, the Ministry of Revenue has sent you the accounts you need. Although Gu has not read the accounts, he has guessed a possibility from Liu Qixian, the Minister of Accounts who delivered the accounts, and wants to tell you."

"Your Highness, the accounts of the East and West City have been investigated by the ministers and Li Sheren. Could it be that the person sent to Hua County to supervise the case this time - this is Di Facao?" Zhang Jianzhi looked at Di Renjie and asked in surprise.

They had already met in the Chongjiao Hall before they came to Tangyuan, so he and Li Jiao were not unfamiliar with Di Renjie.

"That's right!" Li Hong looked at Di Renjie and said affirmatively, "This time I am going to let Di Facao go to Hua County to supervise Zhang Deyu to investigate the case."

Di Renjie had never known what Yan Shangshu asked him to go to Chang'an for the purpose of his visit. Before he could rest after he arrived in Chang'an City, he was notified that the prince would meet him in the East Palace in the evening.

Only then did he realize that he had been to Chang'an from thousands of miles away because the crown prince wanted to see him. But he didn't know why the crown prince wanted to see him. Now that he heard the conversation between Li Hong and Zhang Jianzhi, he understood the reason.

With the experience of being a false accused by a minor official when he was a Bianzhou magistrate, Di Renjie is no longer as naughty as before. After several years of experience in officialdom, he is now much more calm and smooth. Seeing that the prince was smiling at him, he spoke, "Your Highness trusts me and summoned me from Bingzhou, which has traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an. I am very grateful. But I am now the law chief of the Bingzhou Governor's Office, and I am afraid I am not suitable to represent the Eastern Palace to Hua County."

"Di Facao, as long as you are willing to represent the Eastern Palace to Hua County, you don't have to worry about other issues, you will solve them for you." Li Hong did not allow Di Renjie to refuse and immediately spoke.

Di Renjie was not only a future detective of the Tang Dynasty, but also a famous prime minister, and a person who strongly protected Empress Wu to make the Li family royal family the crown prince. Li Hong did not want to let go of such a talented person who was both wise and brave and loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Hong thought that he was not as arrogant as a king, and his words could make the famous prime minister Di Renjie bow to him and swear allegiance to him to death. He could only tie him to the chariot of the Eastern Palace in this way.

As for how to take Di Renjie for his own use in the future, he was not worried at all, because he believed that as long as Di Renjie saw what he did in the future and with Di Renjie's heart as the people in the world, he would definitely follow him to the death.

Zhang Jianzhi didn't know why the prince had to pull Di Renjie into the Eastern Palace, but as Li Hong's confidant, in order to make Di Renjie confirm that he was the person around the Prince, he reminded Li Hongdao, "Your Highness, if Di Facao represents the Eastern Palace, he must hold a position in the Eastern Palace."

Li Hong had never thought about letting Di Renjie work in the East Palace before. He only planned to ask Yan Liben to recommend Di Renjie to Dali Temple. Now, after hearing what Zhang Jianzhi said, although he didn't understand why Zhang Jianzhi reminded himself so blatantly, he would not believe that Zhang Jianzhi would not speak aimlessly. After thinking for a moment, he nodded slightly and said, "Well! Then let Di Facao feel aggrieved, and then he will take the post of Ren's Prince's Family Ling Temple Chief?"

The Prince's Family Ling Temple, the seventh rank, is an official in charge of the criminal law of the Prince's Family Ling Temple in the East Palace, which is very consistent with Li Hong's identity to send Di Renjie to Hua County on behalf of the Eastern Palace. Di Renjie was just an eighth rank jurisprudence before. He had just arrived in Chang'an City and had not yet said a few words to the Prince, he was appointed as the Chief of the Prince's Family Ling Temple, who was in charge of the criminal law of the Eastern Palace. Even Di Renjie himself did not expect that the Prince would value him so much. He was a little dazed and a little grateful after being appreciated by Li Hong, so he immediately stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, since Your Highness trusts me so much, I am willing to go to Hua County to investigate this case for Your Highness!"

Because in the current Tang Dynasty officialdom, the imperial examinations were not mature enough, so recommendation and being appreciated by high-ranking people is the key to entering an officialdom, and it is the ladder for a person to reach the top.

So no matter what kind of achievements Di Renjie will achieve in the future, he will become a detective of the Tang Dynasty or a famous prime minister, but now he is in his thirties and is still an eighth-rank wise master. He was suddenly promoted to the East Palace Jialing Temple to serve as an important position like Jialing Temple Chief. He was very moved by Li Hong's appreciation for himself.

"In addition, Gu Hui asked Shangshu Yan to recommend you to Dali Temple to serve as the head of Dali Temple. Don't let Gu be disappointed!" Li Hong said in a pun.

He seemed very calm when he said this sentence, but it sounded like a bolt from the blue in Di Renjie's ears.

Because Di Renjie had just been promoted from the eighth-rank wise Cao to the seventh-rank prince's chief minister, and before he could digest it, he was promoted to the position of the sixth-rank Dali Temple Chief. The Dali Temple Chief was in charge of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity

If Di Renjie was still calm before, if Di Renjie was promoted to Dali Temple again, he was very excited. At this moment, he was very grateful for Li Hong's promotion without losing his strength. He bowed again and said in a sincere tone, "Your Highness, I will definitely live up to your expectations today in the future!"

"You are a minister of the Eastern Palace, so why should you be so polite?" Li Hong said deliberately. Seeing that Di Renjie did not object to this, he knew that Di Renjie's heart was already in the Eastern Palace. He smiled faintly and said, "Please sit down with Master Di Si!"

"Your Highness, today, Di Si Chief Gao Sheng, we should have a drink!" Li Jiao said happily.

Although he and Zhang Jianzhi envied Di Renjie's promotion speed, they were promoted from the eighth-rank mage to the sixth-rank Dali Temple Chief overnight, they did not have any jealousy. Because they were both talented people, and knew that as long as they worked hard, with their talents, and the respect and appreciation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they would sooner or later be ranked as the magistrate in the future.

"Yes! I want to congratulate Di Sicheng!" Zhang Jianzhi also smiled. Di Renjie raised his glass and said, "Thank you! Zhang Siyilang!"

Li Hong successfully brought Di Renjie into the East Palace. He was in a good mood, so he smiled happily, raised his glass and said, "Okay! Then let's respect Di Sicheng for a cup!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Di Renjie hurriedly raised his glass to Li Hongdao.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all in one go!

After drinking a drink, Li Hong brought the topic to the main thing. He asked Zhang Jianzhi and Li Jiao in a plain tone, "Have you ever seen the accounts I sent to you in the afternoon?"

"We just came back from the east and west cities and hadn't seen it yet." Li Jiao replied.

"How is the harvest today?" Li Hong asked in a low voice. Zhang Jianzhi said a little discouragedly, "It is well known that Wei Ling in Xicheng asked birds to collect money. We don't need to check it anymore. Today we secretly visited the owners of half of the shops in Xicheng and failed to get any useful news from them."

When Li Hong heard this, his brow frowned slightly, and he knew that it was not that simple to check the tax issues in the east and west cities.

"But--" Li Jiao paused for a moment, "We have heard some rumor, that is, Wei Ling is very close to a man named Wu Er."

"Who is Wu Er?" Li Hong asked in confusion. Zhang Jianzhi shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know! Today's time is too short, and we didn't have time to continue to check this person's identity."

Li Hong's brows stretched a lot and ordered Yan Zhuang beside him, "I'll leave this matter to you!"

Yan Zhuang bowed and took the order and said, "Promise!"

"This time, let Cheng Dazhi and the others work hard for the taxes in the East and West cities!" Li Hong thought for a while and said to Yan Zhuang.
Chapter completed!
