Li Shimin seemed to have no intention of continuing to pursue the matter.

But Hou Junji knew that his position had come to an abrupt end when he reached the position of Minister of Personnel.

There is no possibility of going further.

And as for the future prince... will His Majesty still entrust him?

At this time, Li Shimin had stood up and announced the severance of the court.

For the emperor, he would have different opinions on different people in his heart when everything that happened in the court.

Once this view is stable, it will be difficult to change it again.

Just like this Hou Junji, it would be fine if His Majesty questioned his ability, because he could still be questioned through unremitting efforts and several major battles.

But once someone questioned his character, it will be completely over because morality is not worthy of position!

Also, in terms of character, it is more difficult to prove your innocence than to prove your own ability.

Your Majesty has some capable ministers around you, and there is no shortage of Hou Jun gathering a minister who is both civil and military. The consequence of questioning the character is that this makes people think that the greater your ability, the greater the harm you may cause in the future.

Your Majesty is still there, of course you can suppress you, but if one day your Majesty is no longer alive, the weak prince can control someone who is very capable and has a high position and a powerful person, but his character is questionable?

Hou Junji was as if the sky had fallen, his face looked extremely ugly, and he was completely confused, as if he was dreaming.

When he looked up, he found that the ministers had already dispersed and the Tai Chi Hall was empty.

So he staggered out of the hall step by step with difficulty. The sun outside the hall was at noon. He suddenly felt a little dizzy, so he licked his mouth.

Chen Zhengtai came out of the palace and returned to the mansion happily.

He immediately ordered people: "Hurry up, let's go out and inquire, look around and see when my beloved disciple and close nephew Chen Aihe will arrive in Guanzhong. I will go to greet them in person. I will get these two people as if I have one arm."

Chen Fu didn't know what happened, but he saw that his highness valued Wei Zheng and Chen Aihe so much. He immediately remembered it in his heart. In the future, the two of them came to the mansion and wanted to be kind to them. He responded and left.

Then Chen Zhengtai went to the study and told Wu Xi about the matter.

Wu Xi seemed not surprised at all, and even said for granted: "Mr.... Isn't this human nature? I said at the beginning that if the senior brother takes action, he will definitely succeed."

Chen Zhengtai was actually surprised by this. If you talk about the idea, Chen Zhengtai did make the most of it, but when it comes to knowing people, Chen Zhengtai always feels that it is a bit worse.

But if you think about it carefully, this martial arts is a person who played with all the smartest people in the world in history and applauded. Thinking about it this way, this ability to see people's hearts is beyond the reach.

So Chen Zhengtai felt balanced. Even if he lost, he would lose to the most powerful one! Then he turned to curiously and said, "How do you think your senior brother will definitely succeed?"

"It's very simple." Wu Qing smiled and said, "Don't you see that your senior brother only knows how to teach people a lesson with a stern face, but in fact, he has been wandering all his life, but he can be reused no matter where he goes. That's fine, have you seen that your senior brother severely criticized Li Mi and Wang Shichong in the past? Even the Prince Yin Li Jiancheng has never criticized him severely. Only His Majesty has he criticized him several times. Why is this?"

When Chen Zhengtai heard this, he suddenly realized.

Understood.

Because he risked his life to criticize Li Shimin because Li Shimin had a strong ambition. Wei Zheng knew this very well, but if he risked his life to criticize others, he might really die.

Those who can criticize must be criticized carefully. Those who cannot criticize should speak less.

Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but say, "In this way, Xuan Cheng is also a slick person."

Wu Yu shook his head and said, "This is not slick, this is the way of the monarch and the minister! What kind of monarch and what kind of ministers are! Only in this way can one protect himself. It is actually more difficult to do this than climbing to heaven. How to judge what kind of person the monarch is? After judging the monarch's personality, one must ensure how to speak, so as to ensure himself and express what he thinks in his heart is not an easy thing. This requires insight and judgment of the current situation and everyone. And the senior brother is at ease in this regard, and this is great wisdom."

"People with such ability can make progress when they have the opportunity. When they are in crisis, they can use this to protect themselves. To achieve the best use, they must be determined. How many people in the world can do this?"

Chen Zhengtai thought something and nodded silently.

Well, it makes sense. Our Chen family was not good at doing well in the past, but the level in this area was not enough. If it were Wei Zheng, it would be different. They would do well in any way.

After a while, someone came to report: "Report to Your Highness, Di Renjie asked for a visit."

After hearing this, Chen Zhengtai smiled helplessly and said to himself... This Di Renjie... is really stubborn.

So he sat down and said, "Please invite him in."

In fact, during this period, Di Renjie came to the Chen family every day. This guy was particularly stubborn and never let go of what he believed.

He hoped that he could arouse Chen Zhengtai's alertness, and then, with Chen Zhengtai's identity, he warned Li Shimin.

But... it happened for many days, until yesterday. When he found out that Li You had rebelled, Di Renjie suddenly became discouraged.

He knew very well... all his advice was in vain, and both the court and the Chen family turned a blind eye to his warnings.

So... when he realized that the Taiyuan Rebellion had begun, Di Renjie finally felt cold.

But just now, he realized that the Taiyuan Rebellion had subsided. It turned out that Chen Zhengtai had sent people to Taiyuan without showing any expression, just waiting for Li You to attack.

At this moment, he almost jumped up.

Originally, he thought the Chen family was on the first floor and he was on the second floor. But now he realized that he was standing on the fifth floor and then looked at himself on the second floor with an idiot's eyes.

This is the case with the young man. After hearing about this, he could no longer sit still and ran to the Chen family like crazy, hoping to pay homage to Chen Zhengtai.

Following the servants, he came to the study all the way. He looked up and saw Wu Qi sitting upright. Di Renjie always felt that something was hidden behind this beautiful woman, and there was a terrifying aura that made him afraid.

Chen Zhengtai looked at Di Renjie with a smile and said, "Why, since I am here to visit me, I don't look at me, but I first look at my eldest son's history. What is this?"

"The students died." This time, Di Renjie did not stubbornly talk to Chen Zhengtai, but gave a very obedient salute.

Chen Zhengtai smiled and said, "So you know you're dead? I thought you were going to argue with me again."

"I used to be reckless." Di Renjie said very seriously: "Now, I think back, the students are ashamed."

Chen Zhengtai actually said, "Just be ashamed."

Di Renjie: "..."

This is a bit unreasonable to play cards. Normal procedures, shouldn’t everyone be polite?

Chen Zhengtai was in a good mood and smiled and said, "Okay, since you admit your mistake, I wonder what else is there?"

"Students hope to study in the university." This is to be honest. Di Renjie used to disdain Erpigou University. This Erpigou University actually has a bad reputation among the aristocratic races.

But now... he found that his idea was completely wrong, and he was very wrong.

"If you want to enter, then you can go to school." Chen Zhengtai said: "This is not a difficult task. You can take a closer look at the enrollment regulations at that time. With your conditions, it will not be difficult to enter school."

"It's just that the student... doesn't know what to choose after entering the school." Di Renjie wondered.

Di Renjie was obviously very cautious about this. He came to find Chen Zhengtai. On the one hand, he did make a special trip to admit his mistake. On the other hand, he hoped to listen to Chen Zhengtai's advice.

Now Erpigou University has many subjects, some specializing in the imperial examinations, some specialize in business and engineering. Especially after the institute was awarded the title, more and more people are enrolled in engineering.

On the one hand, the employment scope of engineering is relatively wide, and many workshops are recruiting people. Some researchers from research institutes are invited to the workshop for high salaries, because many steam-powered machines are starting to come out.

Many workshop owners have discovered that this thing can not only replace manpower, but also be more than many times the manpower production. If you replace it with such a machine, you can increase the production capacity many times without expanding it.

The workshop owners cannot afford the wages of some craftsmen and labor, but because there are many orders now. Because of the need for a large amount of steelmaking and textiles, whoever can produce more goods can earn more profits.

Not to mention, if others use steam engines, you don’t need them. Their income will be getting higher and higher. Sooner or later, many orders may be snatched away by other workshops. The competition among workshops has begun to become more and more intense, and there is no need tolerate any carelessness.

If you are very good, you can be awarded a title with your skills. Even if you have mediocre qualifications, you can still find an excellent job. Therefore, people are now eager to be in engineering.

Of course, the prospects for the liberal arts are also very good, after all, the imperial court attaches more and more importance to the imperial examinations.

As for business... it is a new creation. In fact, not many people read it, and now it is regarded as a useless person.

Of course...the most important thing is that this business science is a bit unethical and actually planned the business school in Xining.

Think about it... As soon as I entered school, I had to go thousands of miles away, and that place... the city has not been built yet. I thought of living in a tent to study, so sour...

What’s even more frustrating is that the tuition fees for business are even higher, claiming to be to build economic talents for the Tang Dynasty and to seek foundation for the whole world.

Chen Zhengtai pondered, but said, "Do you have any special interests in various studies?"

Di Renjie honestly said: "This is not, it's just... for students, students want to learn anything useful."

"So that's it." Chen Zhengtai cheered up and said immediately: "If this is the case, then I would recommend that you study in business."

"Business? Do business?"

Chen Zhengtai was in a good mood at this time, so he patiently said to him: "No, it's not about business, it's about economics! Look at the world, whether it's about the court, government, or ordinary people, which one does not need economic talent? On a large scale, a country needs to live within its means, and a local governor also needs to consider economics in order to govern the country. Even if it's just running a workshop or a family, isn't it? This business is the real big question, and it's actually the most challenging subject in Erpigou University!

I don’t recommend that you study business, so it’s better to study hard, learn some craftsmanship of writing, take the imperial examination, or... memorize some boring formulas and theorems, and make machinery. But business is different. Only a very smart person can learn and absorb the great knowledge here. I see that you are talented and have a very good bones, which is very suitable. However... the tuition for business is a bit expensive, and you have to suffer a lot in the process of learning. I’m worried that you are still young, unable to endure hardships and cannot bear to pay."

After hearing this, Di Renjie was immediately excited. As if he had recognized something, he immediately said: "Then the students should study business. For money, the students' family has little wealth. As for suffering... the students are afraid that they cannot endure hardship."

Chen Zhengtai smiled and said kindly: "I did not read the wrong person. Since that's the case, then you can go through the admission procedures tomorrow. I personally give you the green light."

Di Renjie doesn’t understand what a green light is.

But I still understand the meaning.

I was so busy that I thanked me, so I went there excitedly.

After Di Renjie left, Wu Qi leaned on the desk, held his chin, bit his pen with his teeth, and said for a long time: "Congratulations to my teacher, the business student, finally found the tenth one."

"Oh... everything is hard at the beginning." Chen Zhengtai said quietly: "Why is the advertisement of the Newspaper without any effect at all! Young people today are really not as good as before. Didn't they just go to Xining to eat potatoes? They can't bear this little bit of hardship. They all want to be the best, but they can't bear to pay and endure hardship."

Chen Zhengtai sighed and was sad for this era.

A few years ago, let alone living in a tent in Xining, gnawing potatoes, even the brown rice mixed with sand was rushing to eat.
