Liu Zheng kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Father, for your grace."

“It is better not to say whether it is grace or not.”

Li Zhi smiled strangely, and then said: "Liu Zheng, you are quite capable, and the Tang Dynasty will need you in the future. In addition, the chief steward is protecting you, so you can survive this time without any harm.

You have to cherish it, after all, there are not many such opportunities.

According to the steward, you are a technical talent. As a technical talent, you should do your job well and don't get involved in politics with those Confucian people. It will do you no good.

Those people have been studying the ins and outs of this for generations, but even so, there are always people who get involved. How can you end up like this if you get involved with them? Compared with your master, you are still very green. Even your master avoids these things, let alone you? This is a piece of advice I give you because I have worked diligently for so many years. Okay, step down."

"I'll take my leave."

Confucian officials always maintain basic etiquette no matter what the situation. Some people may say it is hypocritical, but Wang Zheng thinks that it is actually a kind of respect for the other party.

Wu Zetian just smiled at Liu Zheng's memorial. Everything she had came from Li Zhi. Similarly, Wu Zetian's way of life could only guarantee her loyalty to Li Zhi.

I have reached my current position at such a young age. Even if I do nothing, I can accumulate experience and become a marquis or a prime minister. Not to mention that I have the skills and support of my husband. Why should I be in such a hurry?

There are too few smart people like the chief steward and the queen! "

When Shangguan Yi learned that Liu Zheng was under house arrest, Liu Zheng had already moved into the Grand Steward's Mansion.

The teacher's easy-going attitude made Liu Zheng feel at ease to ask the question. The teacher also gave an answer. Instead of developing all aspects, it is better to specialize in one subject. Finally, Liu Zheng chose planning based on arithmetic.

So Shangguan Yi personally went to the Fifth Courtyard to visit Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng smiled and said, "Shangguan, if you have anything to say, just speak directly. We in Yuzhou do not like beating around the bush. After all, you Confucians learn the Dao, while we in Yuzhou only learn the art. I will try my best to answer what I can."

After a while, Li Zhi listened to Qibi Ming's report and Liu Zheng's micro-expression and posture when he left, nodded and smiled: "Most of the disciples taught by our chief steward are casual and open-minded. The dream of Yuzhou also means that I can use them with confidence.

Shangguan Yi bowed and said, "Haha, I heard that the chief steward returned to Chang'an, so I came here specially to visit you."

As Liu Zheng thought about this, a smile appeared on his face and his steps became a little lighter.

Looking at the old handsome man with a frown in front of him, Wang Zheng sighed softly, "What is Lord Shangguan doing here?"

Now, I have nothing to do, but it would be nice to be able to fulfill my filial duties to my teacher and study with him for a while.

Shangguan Yi found Li Xian to communicate with him, but Li Xian just smiled bitterly and was a little resentful of him for taking the initiative to portray Wu Zetian in the newspaper. When Shangguan Yi suggested that Li Xian go to the Grand Steward's Mansion to plead for mercy and inquire about Wang Zheng's intentions, Li Xian ignored him and said bluntly that he was too embarrassed to go.

Even though I finally understood many truths under the guidance and care of my husband, I still did not change my original intention of becoming successful. My husband once said with a smile that desire is the driving force that drives people to progress and develop. As long as you behave properly, there is nothing wrong with wanting to become successful.

Liu Zheng is an anomaly. He is the most ambitious among the chief steward's disciples. I wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of him, but since our chief steward is reluctant to do so, I will let him go and see what happens next.

After Liu Zheng walked out of Li Zhi's residence, he collapsed directly on the steps. Looking at the snow-covered yard, he sighed palely, and finally wiped the cold sweat from his forehead before getting up and leaving.

Unfortunately, he could not see the situation clearly this time. He wanted to become a hero and advance further as soon as possible, so he put his future on the shoulders of Li Xian, the prince's junior fellow apprentice.

The gentleman's knowledge is like the vast ocean. As long as you study hard, you will surely succeed.

Walking on the clean stone slabs, Liu Zheng couldn't help but recall all his experiences over the years.

Qibi Ming lowered his head and said nothing. As a foreign tribe, they never made friends with the powerful in the court. The only way to survive in the world was to be loyal to the emperor, absolute loyalty.

The Tang Dynasty is my Tang Dynasty after all. If I give it to you, you can accept it. If I don’t give it to you, you cannot covet it. It’s okay to think about it, but if you dare to stretch out your claws, you will be punished. Why don’t many people understand this?

This made Shangguan Yi somewhat disappointed, but Shangguan Yi still did not give up. After all, many things have no turning back once they have begun. If he retreats now, not only will all his previous efforts be wasted, but he will also not be able to escape unscathed.

Being young and from a poor family, having enough to eat was a luxury, let alone eating delicious food, so Liu Zheng had always been eager to make a name for himself.

Therefore, Liu Zheng studied very hard. However, his aptitude was not outstanding. After trying his best, he barely became one of Wang Zheng's disciples. However, at that time, Wang Zheng had hundreds of disciples, so how to stand out was a problem.

Now that I think about it, it is really as my husband scolded me, I was blinded by greed.

This stage is considered to have been passed.

Shangguan Yi smiled stiffly and said, "The steward is really quick-witted. In that case, I will not continue to be polite. If there is anything inappropriate, please forgive me."

"No problem."

Wang Zheng smiled and shook his head. "It was already very inappropriate for Lord Shangguan to drag my Yuzhou family into the matter in the newspaper. I think no matter what Lord Shangguan said today, it can't be more inappropriate. After all, it's just words, not as serious as doing things."

Wang Zheng was not polite. The old man greeted him first and asked for his forgiveness, which basically meant the same thing as "Don't blame me for speaking rudely."

Generally speaking, the person who said this first would inevitably say something unpleasant next. Wang Zheng was already being polite by not directly chasing the person away.
