The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2236 Li Jue Appears
On the way to Dali Temple, Li Jue was wondering whether what his father said to him just now meant that his father had let go. Released from the cell of the temple.

After all, Di Renjie was innocent, and he went into the cell of Dali Temple because his father wanted him to go in.

If that's the case, Di Renjie's life is not in danger, it just depends on when his father ordered him to be released, Li Jue felt that he could work hard.

Di Renjie is a good official and a talented person. Li Jue firmly believes in this, and Di Renjie's character has passed the test of time in the court. The emperor is jealous of courtiers who hold great power. It's normal, but for Di Renjie, there is no need to have such thoughts as being afraid of the Xuan family, because it is absolutely impossible for Di Renjie to develop to that point.

Look at those aristocratic families in the court, who can have brilliance, can have the pinnacle, which family has not been fished out of the sea of ​​​​corpses and blood?Now that the world has been at peace for a long time, Di Renjie has no such opportunity, and Di Renjie is just a civil servant, he doesn't have the ability to lead troops to the battlefield and gain military merits.

Without military merits and world-renowned achievements, it would be difficult for him to get a title. An official without a title, no matter how capable he is, will not hold too much power in the court, unless the emperor really trusts you and delegates power to you.

But if this is the case, since the emperor can delegate power to you, he can take back the power in your hands at any time. Once the power is taken back, no matter what kind of person you are, there is nothing to fear.

This is the gap between Di Renjie and Xuan Shijing, because even Xuan Shijing doesn't have any rights now, but with Xuan Shijing's current status and situation, Li Chengqian will still fear him, not only his present, but also his current situation. He will be afraid of his future, even if the whole family of Duke Qi's mansion looks harmless to humans and animals.

"The next official pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

When Li Jue got to the gate of Dali Temple, he got out of the carriage, and the guards guarding the gate of Dali Temple hurriedly bowed their hands and saluted.

"There's no need to be too polite, I'm here to visit Master Di, let's go in and let me know." Li Jue said.

"If His Highness is visiting Lord Di, please go in directly, there is no need to report." The guard at the door said.

"Oh? Why? Could it be that there are many people visiting Master Di these two days?" Li Jue asked.

"Go back to Your Highness, that's not true." The guard of Dali Temple cupped his hands and said, "There is no one outside to visit Mr. Di, but Mr. Junchen has been here a few times." The guard said.

"That's it." Li Jue said in a low voice, "Alright then, I'll go visit one or two."

Aren't Lai Junchen and Di Renjie rivals?Now Junchen not only hoped that Qi Guogong would have an accident, but also held a grudge with Di Renjie, because he blocked his way, why would he often visit Di Renjie?This is not normal.

When participating in the Duke of Qi, Lai Junchen even counted Di Renjie in it, saying that they formed a party for personal gain, and it can be seen from various actions in the court later that Lai Junchen was targeting Di Renjie, and Di Renjie, as a member of the Dali Temple Qing, the investigation and handling of all the cases in Chang'an City will inevitably involve Lai Junchen. In order to make Di Renjie stop, Lai Junchen came up with various methods to deal with Di Renjie, and even went to the memorial to say that Di Renjie rebelled and wanted to kill Di Renjie. Di Renjie was crushed to death in the cell.

Then why did he visit Di Renjie in the cell of Dali Temple so frequently in these two or three days?

Li Jue couldn't understand this point. He came to see Di Renjie in the cell, didn't he make himself feel uncomfortable?
How could Li Jue have imagined that Lai Junchen didn't feel uncomfortable not being close, but he could find peace of mind with Di Renjie, and even though Di Renjie was in the cell, he didn't get jealous with Lai Junchen, and the two of them instead Chat more calmly than usual.

However, since Xuan Shijing left Chang'an, Lai Junchen only came to the cell of Dali Temple and visited Di Renjie once, because he still has no news in his hand, and there is no movement from all parties in the court. Well, maybe when there is any new news and Lai Junchen can't figure it out, he will come to see Di Renjie in the cell.

The environment in the cell of Dali Temple is not much better. After all, this is a cell, not a place for prisoners to enjoy, but it seems that Di Renjie lives well here.

It's not that Di Renjie lives in a good cell, but that Di Renjie himself has a good mentality. Compared with other prisoners in this cell, Di Renjie is the calmest one, and he reads books in the cell every day, and plays a game with himself. When you think about it, time goes by pretty fast.

Li Jue led the people to the door of the cell.

After seeing Li Jue, Di Renjie got up quickly, patted the dust off his body, and bowed his hands respectfully.

"Chen Di Renjie, I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Master Di doesn't need to be so polite." Li Jue raised his hand and said, "Master Di has really suffered in this cell."

"The prince was joking. Compared with others, this minister is pretty good. This is actually all thanks to His Majesty's grace." Di Renjie said.

"Come here, open the door of the cell, I want to go in and talk to Lord Di." Li Jue said.

"Yes." The prison guard clapped his hands in response.

With the sound of the chain being pulled out, the door of the cell was opened by the guard.

"All of you go outside and guard." Li Jue said.

"Yes, Your Highness." The guards in the cell and the guards brought by Li Jue all agreed.

Li Jue walked into the cell, and Di Renjie stepped aside quickly.

The cell was fairly clean, and there was a clean cushion where Di Renjie sat.

Li Jue took a look at Di Renjie's mess, looked up at Di Renjie, and said with a smile, "Is Master Di interested in asking me to accompany Master Di to finish this game?"

"If Your Highness does not dislike him, I will be grateful." Di Renjie cupped his hands and said.

The two sat on the cushions, Di Renjie held the white stone and was in a weak position, while Li Jue held the black stone in his hand, and now it seems that he is still stronger.

"Master Di, do you feel that your current situation is like a chess piece on this chessboard?" Li Jue said.

"Why does Your Highness say that?" Di Renjie asked.

"Look, it's all involuntary." Li Jue smiled.

Just like the chess pieces on the chessboard, they are at the mercy of others. In other words, Di Renjie is now like the white pieces in his hand, extremely weak.
