Chapter 218 A cup of tea, one sentence
After hearing Changsun Jinghong's words, Wang Zheng and Jin Zhong were shocked.
Although he was not good at strategy, he had seen too many conspiracies in the Imperial City.
He had heard the implication of Changsun Jinghong's words - if the emperor really attacked the Marquis of Dingguo, and the Marquis of Dingguo had been on guard, of course he would not have surrendered!
The emperor has been alienated from the government for many years, and now the strength of the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion is even stronger than twenty years ago, not to mention the unknown Yinyue Tower!
What would happen if the emperor really wanted to attack the Marquis of Dingguo's Mansion now?
Of course, it was the Marquis of Dingguo who rebeled from Kyoto!
Retreat to Shuzhou!
The local court neglected management, and the situation in Ningguo is now beyond the reach.
The Marquis of Dingguo’s Mansion is probably going to proclaim itself king in Shuzhou!
Ningguo naturally fell apart, and even greater turmoil occurred!
The emperor has been really confused over the years. Aren’t he just two medicines? Can this be more important than the safety of Ningguo?
"Then... does the emperor know the layout of the Marquis of Dingguo's Mansion in Shuzhou over the years?"
Changsun Jinghong nodded, "The Marquis of Dingguo did not hide it at all, because there was a grand reason to prevent the re-invasion of the Uighurs and to suppress the abnormal movements of the tribes in Shuzhou... but this matter is very low-key, and not many people know about it."
Wang Zheng and Jin Zhong pondered for a moment and bowed: "Thank you, sir!"
"No need to thank me, these are just my guesses. As for the future situation, it is still difficult to determine."
"After all the forces in Kyoto will eventually compete. The Duke of Cheng, Duke of Qi and the Duke of Dingguo are actually standing behind the prince. If Ji Tai and his group are suppressed, if they can correct the chaos in the court... maybe none of these will happen."
Wang Zheng and Kim Jong thought for a while and asked, "Will the sir think the prince's group can win?"
Changsun Jinghong looked up at the gloomy sky again. After a long time, he seemed to want to express what God meant.
Of course he couldn't come out, and he just felt that the situation was becoming more and more complicated.
"If Li Chenan did not come to Kyoto, the prince's and the second prince's struggle would eventually have the emperor's intention. Because no matter who it is, he would not want Ningguo to really destroy the country!"
"The Ning Kingdom is in chaos, and foreign enemies will inevitably invade...such as the Yue Kingdom."
"If the country is destroyed, it will not be beneficial to any force."
"But Li Chen'an came... You said this kid had nothing to do with such a big deal... Don't forget that he is Li Chunfu's grandson!"
Wang Zheng and Jin Zhong were shocked again, and then they realized that Li Chenan had such an identity.
"In fact, Li Chunfu has been in the court for so many years, and he has many old friends, such as Lord Xiangdong Xiang, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture!"
"These people may not stand too high in the temple, but they are also a strength that cannot be underestimated!"
"He is used by either side, and the chips of victory will always be more biased towards the one who uses him, and now this delicate balance may be broken by him!"
"But if he is said to be related to such a big event... he doesn't even have the identity of a scholar. He is really a little man from Guangling!"
"A little man was originally impossible to stir up this muddy water, but he stirred it up again, and now it has become the focus of many people's eyes."
"Don't think so much about it, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Festival, will the storm in Kyoto change?"
Wang Zheng and Jin Zhong combined Changsun Jinghong's previous and next words and found a problem-
It seems that when Changsun Jinghong comes, Li Chenan has become a key figure in the struggle between the two sides!
If he was slaughtered by the emperor on Mid-Autumn Festival night, I am afraid that the Marquis of Dingguo will be more dissatisfied with the emperor. This is beneficial to the second prince. What they hope is that the Marquis of Dingguo can jump out and rebel.
This gave them a great opportunity to pull the prince off the horse in one fell swoop.
But if Li Chenan is not dead...that means that he won the top position at the Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Fair and his reputation among students will be further improved!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got Li Chen'an, and he got the old friends of Li Chunfu and also received the support of all students in the world!
His huge role will be fully revealed at this time, which is probably the reason why the Prime Minister's urgent need for him to die.
"Then should our Imperial City Department do something?"
"Of course, this is why I want to meet Li Chenan today, and even wait here to see Li Chenan!"
"He can't die!"
"He must also stay in Kyoto!"
...
...
Li Chenan had no idea that he had become a key figure in the factional dispute between Kyoto.
He was just a little curious.
Because yesterday, when I went to the Minister of Revenue to meet my second uncle Li Wenhou, he said that Mid-Autumn Festival poetry may be in a bloody disaster, so you'd better meet someone, which is the famous Changsun Jinghong of the Imperial City Department!
Of course he knew that the Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Fair was a Hongmen Banquet, but he did not intend to meet Changsun Jinghong.
Because I'm not familiar with it.
Even though Changsun Jinghong was once a good friend to his grandfather.
"People always change with time and status."
In the carriage, Li Chenan smiled slightly and said, "Although you said Changsun Jinghong is trustworthy, this is of course a good thing. After all, it will be much easier to do things with a powerful helper."
"But the Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Association... Since my grandfather used to be the emperor's teacher, do you think the emperor would kill me because of my failure?"
"After all, he has a bit of old love, he is so ruthless?"
Shang Di thought for a while, "If it were the former emperor, you would definitely be fine."
“So much change?”
"I may not have seen the emperor for many years, but after Mr. Changsun said that since the emperor became obsessed with alchemy and practicing Taoism, he has no interest in anything else. This is why Ningguo's power fell into Ji Tai's hands."
"Because the emperor is obsessed with practicing Taoism, his brain seems to be more confused as he practices... He will not distinguish between loyalty and treacherous, he only believes in the slander of people like Yu Jitai or Concubine Ji."
"Think about it, you are the one who offended Ji Tai seriously, and you blocked the second prince's intention to marry Zhongli Ruoshui!"
"They definitely want you to die!"
"Then if you really lose, the emperor may no longer remember your grandfather, or the emperor doesn't know that your grandfather is Li Chunfu!"
Li Chen'an raised his eyebrows and looked cold. He thought to himself that when he left Kyoto, would he throw the magic weapon into the yard of the prime minister's mansion?
Don't let me have a good time?
Then don’t think about it!
The carriage arrived at the old rain building.
The two got off the carriage, An Zizai guarded the door, and Shang Di took Li Chenan into it.
When he arrived at the big-leaf banyan, Li Chenan met the thin old man wearing a green linen.
The old man sat next to the tea table under the big banyan tree, and behind him was a burly uncle with a bearded face.
The old man was cooking a pot of tea.
The fragrance of tea has wafted.
Li Chenan sniffed his nose, walked over, and smiled and said, "Good tea! Longjing in the Ming Dynasty, but I should do this for the younger generation!"
He sat opposite Changsun Jinghong.
He took the teacup from Changsun Jinghong's hand.
He was really cooking tea carefully, and he didn't even look up at Changsun's eyes.
But Changsun Jinghong kept staring at him!
The old eyes lit up, and even his body leaned forward a little, as if he wanted to be clearer.
What he saw was-
Calm.
nature.
No intention at all.
Even the look on that face was extremely natural.
This is Li Chenan's demeanor, but in Changsun Jinghong's eyes, these are not the main ones.
The main thing is that this very beautiful face looks like someone!
Especially the two slender eyebrows that are as thin as swallow's pointed feathers, they are exactly the same as someone!
He unconsciously touched the letter in his sleeve bag, and the heart that had already been old and blunt was already stirring up ripples.
But at this moment, Wang Zheng and Jin Zhong were also on Li Chenan. If he were Changsun Jinghong, he would definitely find the folds on Changsun Jinghong's old face trembled for a moment inadvertently!
Then, Changsun Jinghong suddenly laughed, with joy on his face, but said nothing.
This is extremely quiet, with only a few cicadas chirping.
Li Chenan skillfully cooked tea, put out the fire, poured tea, and handed over the teacup.
Changsun Jinghong took the teacup, sniffed it carefully, blew it again, and then took a sip.
He put down the teacup, stood up, and walked out with his hands on his back.
But there were two sentences:
"Good taste, the heat is just right, I like it very much!"
"Tomorrow it will be August 15th, and early in the morning, let Wang Zhenghaoxuan take you to the Imperial City Department."
