The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2242 low-key talent

It is precisely because of this that the officials who stay by Di Renjie's side will be subconsciously ignored.

But Li Chengqian didn't ignore it, because Xu Zhengqing, not to mention very old, was also in his observation range, and Xu Zhengqing himself came from an official family, a person from a clean background, a good background, and he was agile in doing things, and He is also a talented person, and for the court, he is also a talent. Li Chengqian naturally included such a talent in his scope of investigation, so as to leave it to Li Jue in the future.

He has already begun to select a team for Li Jue.

Di Renjie and Xu Zhengqing are all within his consideration.

This is a good thing for Di Renjie and Xu Zhengqing.

The two of them are the kind of people who are not afraid of crooked shadows, and are afraid of His Majesty's test and observation?You must not be afraid, because you can't observe any bad aspects.

"Yes, Xu Zhengqing, Xu Zhengqing is not well-known in the officialdom, but in Dali Temple, only under Di Renjie, Xu Zhengqing's father, grandfather, and maternal grandfather were all court officials, so they also came from a family of officials and eunuchs. He is very talented in reading poetry and books, and I have to say that Di Renjie also has a good eye for candidates." Li Chengqian said.

"If you say that, then Xu Zhengqing is also a pretty good talent. Then why, his deeds are hardly mentioned by anyone in the court?" Li Jue asked.

"This is also Di Renjie's, or Xu Zhengqing's brilliance." Li Chengqian patiently explained to Li Jue: "Where is Dali Temple? It is a place in charge of the prison of the Tang Dynasty. Earlier, Dali Temple was still in charge of Dai Zhou. , Di Renjie works in Dali Temple, mainly to sort out the old cases of Dali Temple. Most of the old cases involved are noble families of the dynasty, and all of them are masters who are not easy to offend. It is also very dangerous for one person to be in the limelight. Di Renjie took this danger by himself, because looking through the old case will inevitably offend a considerable number of people in the court. Di Renjie just let these people remember that the case was turned over by Di Renjie However, as for who is around Di Renjie and what abilities those people have, no one else will take care of them carefully.

Therefore, Di Renjie saved Xu Zhengqing and other people who were investigating the case with him. This method has continued until now. Otherwise, why can Dali Temple still operate as usual when Di Renjie is in prison?Because, even without Di Renjie on the stage directing them what to do, they knew in their hearts that what they should do, or what to do, was orderly and not chaotic at all, and Di Renjie, although in the cell, But in fact, still sitting in Dali Temple, Xu Zhengqing would visit Di Renjie in the cell every day. At that time, Di Renjie told Xu Zhengqing what to do, and Xu Zhengqing only needed to do what Di Renjie arranged, and, Xu Zhengqing is also doing very well. "

What are the advantages of Xu Zhengqing?Well-born, talented, capable, low-key enough, obedient enough, and loyal enough.

Isn't such a courtier the emperor's favorite courtier?Officials in the officialdom are gold, and if they are placed there, they will always shine. Even if they don't shine, gold is gold and will not become scrap copper and rotten iron.

Li Chengqian is not an incompetent person. He has learned so much about the officials in the DPRK and China, but since he was in his teens until now, he has impressions of all kinds of officials in the officialdom. He can remember their names when they are mentioned.

"So that's how it is." After Li Jue heard his father's words, he suddenly realized.

Before that, Li Jue's attention was always on Di Renjie, because Di Renjie had a relationship with Xuan Shijing, and he had been with Xuan Shijing for a while, so he naturally knew Di Renjie a little bit, and he had always been interested in this Dali Temple minister. As for the people around Di Renjie, because of Di Renjie's relationship, he seldom pays attention to it, so he missed such a talent as Xu Zhengqing. Hearing what his father said today and thinking about it carefully, this is really the case .

Regarding Li Jue's slowness, Li Chengqian was not impatient, nor did he blame him. Li Jue was still young, and now he was in a state of not fighting or fighting in the palace. I don't know much about the affairs of the previous court, but since being crowned prince, Li Jue is also working hard to improve, learning these things hard, and the progress is also very fast. Li Chengqian is very pleased with this.

Wasn't Li Chengqian also taught step by step by His Majesty Li Er, and various teachers in the East Palace, to get to where he is today?

At the beginning when Li Jue was made the crown prince, apart from Li Jue's upright background, Li Jue's temperament was also taken into consideration. With Li Jue's temperament, [-]% of the princes are conservative.

Whether it was the Wude Dynasty, the Zhenguan Dynasty, or the current Yonghui Dynasty, it was the time when the Tang Dynasty was determined to forge ahead. The Zhenguan Dynasty used the most force. Changes are the most. After such "turmoil" continues, a gentle but aggressive monarch is needed to stabilize the situation in the Tang Dynasty. After ten or twenty years, it will be completely stabilized before seeking new breakthroughs.

At least that's what Li Chengqian planned in his heart.

Therefore, he is working hard to cultivate Li Jue, not only to continue his gentleness, but also to make him somewhat aggressive, bloody, and purely gentle, which is not qualified for an emperor.

To be an emperor, when you want to be gentle, you should make your subjects feel like a spring breeze;

Youdao is thunder, rain and dew, all of which are the grace of the emperor. This is where the majesty of the emperor lies.

Although Li Jue was not too young when he was established as the prince, he was 17 years old, but he lived in the harem all year round, with Empress Su planning everything for him, Li Jue's heart is still pure and good.

It is also this kind of innocence that Li Chengqian sees in his eyes. Li Jue is now, at least in the political affairs of the court, still a blank slate. Unlike Li Xiang, he has a heavy mind and is no longer suitable for teaching .

In Li Chengqian's eyes, Li Xiang's mind had already been settled.

"Xu Zhengqing, you can pay more attention in the future." Li Chengqian said: "As for the next step."

Li Chengqian thought for a while, and said to Li Jue: "I really plan to let you go to the Duke of Qi. Doesn't he like to plant trees by the Yellow River now? Then, you prince, just suffer a little bit and go with your teacher. It can be regarded as an act of filial piety.”

"Yes." Li Jue answered with cupped hands.
