The Great Idle Person of the Zhenguan Era.

Summary

Chang Sun Wuji, a renowned minister, hosted a banquet at his mansion, inviting Li Su, a young and talented individual. Li Su was initially hesitant to attend due to his recent loss of title and position. However, Chang Sun Wuji's words and actions revealed his intention to recruit Li Su into the faction of officials. Li Su found himself in a difficult position, as he had inadvertently become affiliated with the faction. The banquet at the Chang Sun Mansion was a grand affair, with many high-ranking officials in attendance. Li Su was introduced to Kong Ying Da, the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy, Zhu Sui Liang, the Officer of the Department of State Affairs, and Wei Zheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Li Su was in awe of these big shots, who were famous for their contributions to the country. As the youngest and lowest in rank, Li Su could only bow and greet these officials, calling them "uncle" or "elder." However, Zhu Sui Liang's casual demeanor and interest in Li Su's calligraphy made him lose his good impression of the officer. The night banquet was a luxurious affair, with beautiful music, delicious food, and elegant conversations. Chang Sun Wuji's true intentions remained unclear, but it was evident that he wanted to guide Li Su and help him achieve greatness. Li Su, however, was unsure about his affiliation with the faction of officials and his future in the Tang Dynasty.
