Chapter 771 Why not assume it was Liang Wang Wu 3 Si
After finishing the meal, Li Cunxi wiped his mouth and looked at the big fish and meat in the hot pot with satisfaction.
When Uncle Di Renjie was not around, life in the Di family was usually quite good. If Di Renjie was at the house every day, they would only have meat once every three days.
The three brothers were obviously full from eating so much that they leaned back in their chairs to digest their food.
At this point, Di Guangsi finally asked, "Cunxi, what's the matter with you coming to see my father?"
"Brother, you can actually see that?"
"I see a hint of worry between your brows. It seems something has happened in the court again, right?"
"Well, not only did something happen, but it's also extremely important. I just can't tell you. I was thinking of asking my uncle for some advice."
"Well...we brothers are busy with our own affairs, so we won't give you any good advice," said Di Guangsi.
He had been an official for many years and deeply understood the great pressure brought by these troubles in the court.
Since Li Cunxi was not going to tell him, he naturally did not have the ability to participate in this case. It would be better for the three brothers not to know about it, so as to avoid being criticized in the future if something happened.
When Di Guangzhao heard this, he became unhappy and shouted:
"What's going on? What do you mean by giving a bad idea?"
"I'm very capable. If Cunxi needs my help, I can definitely give you good ideas, not bad ones!"
Di Guangsi didn't even look at Di Guangzhao and kept shaking his head.
"Forget it, you have the most naughty ideas. If you delay Cunxi's business, just wait and see how we brothers will deal with you!"
How much trouble has Di Guangzhao caused in the years since Li Cunxi returned to the court?
If Di Guangzhao got involved at this time and anything went wrong, the emperor would chop off his head.
Do you really think that you can repeatedly defy national laws just by relying on Di Renjie's face?
"My father will probably be back at night, so you should stay with us and leave after we finish discussing it in the evening."
Li Cunxi thought about it and agreed.
I have no idea what's going on in the court, so I might as well spend a day in Di's mansion and have some fun.
As for going back home to find his mentor Wu Chengsi, that was even more impossible. He couldn't disturb the reunion of father and son at home at this moment.
Half a day passed in a flash. Li Cunxi had nothing to do, so he began to test the knowledge of his nephews.
Needless to say, Di Botong is very knowledgeable. As the eldest son of the eldest house, he will definitely inherit everything from the Di family in the future, so he works extra hard in his studies for this purpose.
However, Di Botong did not leave many traces in history books. One of his most famous things in the future was that he met the poet Li Bai and had a good relationship with him.
The second nephew, Di Zong, was taught by Di Guangyuan himself and had been kept by Di Guangyuan all these years until the Luzhou case broke out and Di Guangyuan had to go to Luzhou to clean up Di Guangzhao's mess. The father and son were separated for several months. Finally, when Di Guangyuan was transferred to be the governor of Weizhou, he took Di Zong with him.
Di Zong was also quite talented, steady and resolute. His personality was not like his father Di Guangyuan, but more like his uncle Di Guangsi.
There is no need to say anything about Di Ke from Di Guangzhao's family. He did not read the Four Books, did not know the Five Classics, had almost no ability, and could not even memorize the "Analects of Confucius" by rote.
Li Cunxi was helpless about this. When he was with Di Ke in his early years, he knew that Di Ke was destined to be a thinker who should not get involved in politics.
Because he didn't like reading or sensual pleasures, the only thing he liked was to be alone in a place where no one was around and think about the principles of the world.
However, thinkers who are destined to leave their names in the future will certainly encounter many setbacks in contemporary times. Just like now, Di Ke looked at the "Analects of Confucius" in Li Cunxi's hand with a sad face, and couldn't utter a word for a while.
"Uncle, please forgive me, I really can't do it!"
Dicko pursed his lips, looking extremely sad.
Li Cunxi closed Yan Liben's handwritten copy of "The Analects" helplessly and sighed.
It is said that the three brothers are planning to take the imperial examination this year. He is not worried about Di Botong and Di Zong, but Di Ke knows nothing.
When I really entered the examination room, I was left staring blankly.
"Then will you still take the imperial examination?" Li Cunxi asked.
Di Ke chuckled, sat down, and said, "Uncle, if my father hadn't insisted on me taking this exam, I would never have taken it even if I died."
Li Cunxi was speechless and had no way to refute this familiar yet unfamiliar answer.
He is just a person who doesn't like to study. What can we do?
If you force something to happen, it might backfire.
"Okay, then don't participate. At worst, you can wait a few years and I'll find a way to give you some experience."
Li Cunxi put down "The Analects" and changed his mind.
As the King of Qin, he skipped the imperial examination and casually recommended a county magistrate. In the current Zhou Dynasty, no one would object.
After all, Zhang Changzong's male favorite was qualified to recommend a county magistrate, so it would be okay for him to follow suit.
"Uncle, is it true?" Di Ke rubbed his hands with a smile on his face.
"You're my nephew, what else can I do? I'll just side with you."
Looking at his other two nephews whose eyes were shining with hope, Li Cunxi quickly stood up and ran outside.
"Study hard and get your name on the imperial examination. When you go to the local area, you will also need sufficient knowledge."
He fled like the wind and headed straight for the main hall.
The three Di Guangsi brothers were drinking tea. When they saw Li Cunxi coming back, they immediately asked Li Cunxi to sit on the bed.
"Those three kids are doing pretty well in school, aren't they?" Di Guangyuan smiled. "They'll definitely pass the imperial examination this year."
"My two nephews were able to pass the imperial examination, but my kid can't even eat hot shit."
Di Guangzhao held his forehead, feeling uncomfortable.
"It's okay, it's okay, it will be sooner or later." Li Cunxi comforted.
After chatting for a few words, he saw someone walking towards the main hall across the yard. As soon as he saw the fat body, Li Cunxi recognized the other person's identity.
"I heard Cunxi is here?"
Di Renjie saw Li Cunxi from a distance and a smile appeared on his face.
"Uncle, I'm here, hahahahaha."
"Have a seat, brothers. We haven't seen each other for a few years. It's a good time to chat." Di Renjie looked at his third son again. "You can go back and test my grandchildren's knowledge first. Come back for dinner in half an hour."
"I understand, Father."
The three brothers responded together and then left the main hall directly.
After watching his three sons go away, Di Renjie stroked his beard and sat down in the chair.
"Cunxi, is it because there's a traitor in the court?"
"This traitor is not only in a very high position, but he's also hiding very deeply, so deep that even you can't find him. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so anxious."
Di Renjie, whose IQ is as high as 104, easily guessed that there was a traitor in the court.
"Yes, one thing I can be sure of at the moment is that the traitor is the prince of the Wu family, but it is difficult to determine how many there are, and it is also difficult to determine who exactly they are." Li Cunxi told the truth.
Di Renjie raised an eyebrow. "Since we're not sure who it is, why not assume it's Wu Sansi, the Prince of Liang?"
