Chapter 95: The Loyal Minister

After Lu Xin and Li Chunfeng got off Longshouyuan, they went straight to Wei Zheng's mansion in Dongcheng. At this moment, it is already the beginning of time, and the civil and military officials have already left the court.

The guards of the Wei Mansion were all soldiers sent by the imperial court, and they were all very disciplined, and they were not as powerful as the subordinates of the Qian Mansion. After the briefing, Wei Qing took the scholar and the moon was not dark, and personally went out of the house to greet him.

Several people greeted each other as they walked towards the main hall. After the scholar saw Lu Xin, he immediately shouted that he wanted to go to the Hejian County Mansion to visit the Yang sisters. Lu Xin naturally wanted to take a look at Yang Xiu's injury, but he still had to thank the owner of this mansion before leaving.

The three divisions triaged, Wei Zheng was a great help. Moreover, Wei Zheng and Qian Hai are close friends, and they can be regarded as their elders. If you just leave without saying a word, it is not the way to be a human being.

"Looking at the master's appearance, I should have thought that I would meet this secretary and supervisor a long time ago. If I'm not mistaken, Wei Zheng should be in the position of prime minister in the future. Moreover, in the entire Tang Dynasty, he is the only one who dares to contradict Li Shimin and directly admonish the emperor! ”

Lu Xin's grades were not good when he was studying, although he read some history textbooks in middle and high school because of his cousin Lu Tingfang, but he was not impressed. He only remembered that the word "Wei Zheng" was also a strong stroke in the history books. It is a rare direct minister in a feudal society of more than 2,000 years. Although Wei Zheng was only a secretary and supervisor from the third grade of Zhenguan, in the middle of Zhenguan, he was the most important figure in the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, in the history books, Wei Zheng's name is still above Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui and others.

Perhaps because of the official position, the Wei Mansion is not big. Compared with the eldest grandson Wuji's Guogong Mansion, it even looks a little shabby. In less than a few minutes, Lu Xin and the others arrived at the main hall of the mansion. From a distance, I saw Wei Zheng, who had changed into his official uniform, dressed in a green shirt, holding a scroll in his hand, sitting reading and drinking tea.

Wei Zheng is nearly forty years old, but his appearance looks like he is in his early thirties, which is very young. And the whole body is upright, no matter who sees it, the admiration in my heart will arise spontaneously.

Suddenly, Wei Zheng, who had been looking down at the book, suddenly raised his head, his eyes were sharp, and he stabbed like lightning. In an instant, Lu Xin seemed to have flown into the clouds, and there was a void in all directions to the west, and he couldn't reach the world or the ground. This feeling is indescribably strange, although it only lasted for two seconds, Lu Xin always felt as if he had just gone to another world.

looked at Wei Zheng again, only to see that his eyes were only staring at Li Chunfeng alone. Lu Xin suddenly felt strange, could it be that this third-grade official of the imperial court had already seen the difference of Li Chunfeng?

"Uncle, Brother Lu Xin is here to say goodbye to thank Uncle for saving his life."

"It's serious, Wei is just speaking impartially, which is not a life-saving grace. Since you're here, sit down and have some snacks before you go. Qing'er, order someone to serve tea. ”

Wei Zheng put down the scroll, although he was talking about Lu Xin, but he nodded at Li Chunfeng and smiled lightly. And this time, calling himself "Wei" instead of "Ben Guan" makes people feel much more cordial. Lu Xin doesn't know if it's because of the relationship recorded in the history books or because of Wei Qing's relationship, he has an inexplicable good impression and trust for the person in front of him.

"This immortal master has an extraordinary bearing, and his cultivation is unfathomable, I don't know where he practiced before?"

"There is no fixed place to live, and you wander the world. However, after a long time, I heard that Lord Wei was fair and virtuous, and dared to admonish the emperor directly. I wanted to pay a visit earlier, but when I saw it today, it was really a dragon and phoenix among people, and a rich face. ”

What shocked Lu Xin was that as soon as everyone sat down, Wei Zheng went straight to the point and asked Li Chunfeng directly. It would be nothing if he asked about something else, but Wei Zheng could see at a glance that Li Chunfeng was an onmyoji, and he used the word "unfathomable" to describe his cultivation, which shows the cleverness of his eyesight. In fact, if Li Chunfeng was just a stranger walking on the side of the road, with Lu Xin's current eyesight, he couldn't tell whether he had mana at all, let alone the level of cultivation.

"Could it be...... This Wei Zheng is also an onmyoji? ”

Lu Xin was shocked, and a terrible thought suddenly flashed in his heart. At this time, he couldn't help but think of the novel "Journey to the West" that he read when he was a child. At the beginning, it was said that the Dragon King of Jinghe had tampered with the time and points of the rain because of his bet with the diviner, and was known by the Jade Emperor. Heavenly Court was furious and ordered Wei Zheng, who had Wu Quxing descended to earth, to slay the dragon. After learning the news, the Dragon King of Jinghe begged the Tang Emperor Li Shimin for help and blessed him from death.

Li Shimin felt pity and agreed. So he deliberately played chess with himself when he was about to be executed, so that the Dragon King of Jinghe could escape. Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng dozed off while playing chess, fell into a dream, and still cut off the dragon head of the Dragon King of Jinghe......

Such an absurd story, in the past, Lu Xin must not have believed it. But now that he traveled back to the Tang Dynasty and saw Wei Zheng with his own eyes, he suddenly became a little confused. When the ancients wrote books, they usually had a well-documented basis, and even if they were novels, they would not be completely made up.

Although I don't know if there are dragons in this world, the person in front of me is definitely not an ordinary mortal. Otherwise, why did Li Chunfeng deliberately live in the Qian Mansion, close to Wei Zheng, who was not high in official position and had no knighthood?

If his thoughts are correct, it seems that he can also explain why Wei Zheng is the only one who dares to admonish Li Shimin in a huge imperial court. Even, often confronting this Tang Emperor Long Yan was so angry that he couldn't even eat. On the other hand, looking at other ministers, the relationship between the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Shimin is good enough and close, right? But when did this founding father dare to argue with Li Shimin?

"Hahaha, the immortal master praised it falsely. Wei is just a civil official, he has never made military merits, and he is a subordinate, so I am afraid it will be difficult to be reused by His Majesty. ”

Wei Zheng took the fragrant tea handed over by the maid, took a sip and put it down. Li Chunfeng didn't look at him, but drank all the water in the teacup.

"This is not necessarily, looking at the face of Lord Wei, the heavenly court is full, and the lucky stars are shining, which is the appearance of heaven and man. Emperor Tang knows how to make good use of people and is broad-minded, how could he miss a good minister like you? If even you, Lord Wei, can't be reused, then this Tang Dynasty will probably soon repeat the mistakes of the Great Sui. ”

Li Chunfeng's voice fell, and everyone was stunned. Wei Qing had just sat down to drink tea, and after his right hand was stretched out, he shook halfway. The scholar was even more frightened and splashed tea and coughed wildly on the side. Even Wei Zheng frowned equally, and a hint of horror flashed in his eyes.

What does it mean to repeat the mistakes of the Sui Dynasty? The father and son of the Yang family went south to destroy Chen in 589 AD, unified the Central Plains, and established the Great Sui Dynasty. But in 618, it was banned by the Tang Dynasty, less than 30 years before and after. This time is too short for a country and a dynasty, and it is simply a shame. If Li Chunfeng's words are spread, it is equivalent to cursing the Tang Dynasty to destroy the country, and if it is investigated deeply, it will be a great crime to punish the nine clans.

Although the immortal master praised Wei in this remark, Wei really didn't dare to take it. However, in today's world, it is indeed internal and external troubles, and the situation is turbulent. The vassal kings, families, and wealthy families in various places, the Turks in the north, the Tibetans in the west, and Goguryeo in the northeast are all eyeing our Tang Dynasty. There are even countless former ministers of the Sui Dynasty lurking in various places, waiting for an opportunity to move. The immortal master is a cultivator, have you ever heard that there is a sect in Yangzhou, called the Valley of Hundred Flowers? ”

"I've heard a little."

Seeing Wei Zheng speak, Li Chunfeng smiled, as if he didn't care about what he said just now. And the change in the topic finally made the scholar and Wei Qing and others relieved.

"Brother Xin, this master of yours really dares to say anything. But looking at Lord Wei's appearance, it seems that he respects him very much. ”

"Hmph, that's nature. My master is ...... Alas, forget it, what are you talking about here. The elders talk about things, let's listen honestly. ”

"Wei heard that in this Valley of Hundred Flowers, there is the bloodline left by Yang Guang. This matter is not trivial, but because there is no evidence, it has never been able to be brought to the court. According to the immortal master, if you want to find out about this matter, how should you act? ”

"Hehehe, what Lord Wei said, but the disciples of Baihua Valley, Yang Yan and Yang Miao, two brothers and sisters? If it's really these two people, in my humble opinion, it's better not to provoke them. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Wei Zheng frowned, as if he was a little surprised. Li Chunfeng didn't care about him, and suddenly stood up from his seat. Then he looked at the sky outside the hall, and his voice began to become a little muffled.

"The two brothers and sisters have already returned to their roots and refined Ziwei Tianhuo. With the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, there is no extra strength to deal with them. Moreover, the valley master of the Hundred Flowers Valley, although he is a female streamer, has a very high cultivation level, and has the great magical power of moving mountains and reclamation. If Lord Wei wants to make meritorious contributions and make the emperor value it, I am afraid it will be a risky move. ”

"Oh? Then what if you add the immortal master? When the imperial court is employing people, His Majesty is eager to open a system and seek talents. If there is such a great talent as an immortal master in this court, why can't he create a prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty? ”

"Hahahaha...... Lord Wei is indeed a loyal minister. The tea has been drunk, so I won't bother the adults in the future. In vain, it's getting late, and if you don't go to the Hejian County Palace, it will be rude. ”

Li Chunfeng laughed, retracted his gaze, and walked straight out of the house. Although Lu Xin was a little puzzled, he didn't dare to hesitate, and after saluting Wei Zheng, he hurriedly followed. When the scholar and the moon are not dark, they naturally will not stay. And Wei Qing was responsible for leading the way, and he also followed a few people out of the house.

On the way to Yongfu Fang, the master and apprentice walked at the back of the crowd. Lu Xin couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked, "Doesn't the master want to enter the court?" I heard what Master Wei meant just now, and it should be a recommendation. With such a good opportunity, why is the master in a hurry to leave? ”

"Hehe, he does have the intention of recommending. However, this person's cultivation is profound, but he is willing to hide in the court, I don't know what the purpose is. I had heard about his deeds in the early years, and this matter was close to me, just to confirm some thoughts in my heart. As for the rest, let's wait until we survive tonight's catastrophe first, and then go to plan. ”
