Long night.

The long sleepless night.

In the pavilion in the back garden of Xia Guogong's mansion, the flowers all over the garden have drifted away.

Duke Xia Mochou is still sitting here.

He is drinking.

one person.

A jug of wine.

One bite after another.

As an old fox, he is certainly not easily fooled by Hua Manting.

In fact, it has been more than ten days since Hua Manting arrived in Dongxu City.

In the past ten days, Hua Manting came to Xia Guogong's mansion three times.

The two had known each other for decades. Hua Manting had traveled to the State of Wu when he was young, and Xia Mochou had also been on a mission to the State of Ning.

He is a military commander.

But he was deeply influenced by Xi Wei.

Therefore, his attainments in literature are also very good.

In the Kingdom of Wu, he had the reputation of a Confucian general.

See Hua Manting again tonight, and even finally agreed to Hua Manting to become another taunt of the Wu Kingdom...

This is not because Xia Mochou is really because of Xi Wei's so-called lofty thoughts, it is just the undercurrents hidden under the peaceful surface of Wu State.

The first step was to cut down the feudal clan!

As a prince, he knew that this was not groundless.

Is it good to cut down the feudal clan?

He thought about this question carefully.

From a fair standpoint, this policy is very good, but from a personal standpoint...

His daughter Xia Wanyi is the concubine of the eldest prince, Prince Ping Wu Hui!

After this blow, my daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren, I am afraid no one will be spared!

In the face of family affection, he must prevent the prince from cutting down the vassal vassal after he ascends the throne.

He had been waiting and watching these days, hoping that the emperor would deny the matter at some court meeting, but the emperor did not mention it at all.

This shows that the emperor also has this intention.

Today's emperor is not a fuel-efficient lamp!

Don't look at it. He seems to have left all the government affairs to His Royal Highness, but as long as he is still alive, he may change his hands at any time!

Especially the two forces he holds in his hands——

The engine room!

And the Condor Army!

Gou Zhong, the general of the Condor Army, is called the Emperor's Eagle!

And Mo Wangchen in the Jishufang is called the emperor's dog!

Both the eagle and the dog are absolutely loyal to the emperor. If the emperor is really determined to cut down the vassal... even if he cannot resist, he must find a way out for his children and grandchildren to save their lives.

Hua Manting said tonight that Li Chenan is not dead!

Xia Mochou didn't have the slightest doubt.

Because if Li Chenan really died, Hua Manting would definitely not come to Wu Kingdom!

He will definitely be his dean at Taiyuan Academy in Ningguo!

On the other hand, he also heard that his granddaughter Xia Hua was in love with Li Chenan... The way out became so clear.

Even if we can use Li Chenan's power to do something amazing in the Wu Kingdom, it is not impossible!

So what if you agree to Hua Manting to be a Xiwei?

What's more, I am not the first Xi Wei in the Wu Kingdom.

So who is first?

Just as Xia Mochou was speculating carefully, Xia Liu came over with her daughter Xia Hua.

"Father!"

"grandfather!"

The two bowed, Xia Mochou glared at Xia Liu, then looked at Xia Hua and smiled happily.

"Come on, come on, sit down!"

"Last time my grandpa went to Tianshan, we haven't seen him for more than a year now. My granddaughter seems to have grown taller again!"

"Sit down quickly and let grandpa have a good look..."

Xia Mochou held Xia Hua with one hand and turned to look at Xia Liu. The smile on his face disappeared and he glared at Xia Liu again, "What are you still doing here? Why don't you go ask the kitchen to get some drinks?"

Good food?”

"I want to have a drink with my granddaughter, and you're standing here to make me an eyesore! Come on, come on...!"

Xia Mochou waved his hand with a look of disgust, and Xia Liusheng left helplessly.

Xia Hua smiled and sat across from Xia Mochou, "Grandpa, I seem to have gotten into trouble tonight."

Xia Mochou stroked her long beard and raised her neck: "What's the problem if my granddaughter gets into trouble? That's not a big deal!"

"Tell me, what did you do?"

Xia Hua pursed her lips: "I, I seem to have offended the little stick to death!"

Xia Mochou immediately opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Are you talking about... His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"yes!"

Xia Mochou swallowed, looked around, and leaned over: "You just returned to Kyoto, why did you offend him?"

Xia Hua pondered for three breaths and told Xia Mochou about tonight's literary meeting in detail.

"I just can't bear to see him stepping on Li Chen'an and Mr. Li... Obviously no one in the world can compare with them in poetry, but Xiao Xiang opens his eyes and tells lies!"

"Isn't this confusing right and wrong?"

"I, I couldn't help but read out the poem that my husband made. My father said that Xiao Zhuanzi's face turned blue."

"Xiao Zhuanzi was very narrow-minded when he was a child. I'm afraid, I'm afraid he will hold a grudge against Xia Mansion!"

Xia Mochou stroked her long beard and sat up straight, "Oh..."

"The Mr. Li and his wife you mentioned... they went to Xijian Tower?"

Xia Hua originally thought that grandpa would think carefully about how to deal with Wu Qian, but she didn't expect that grandpa would ask such an insignificant question.

She nodded, "Sir and Mistress are here to fulfill Chen An's last wish."

When Xia Mochou heard this, she suddenly laughed.

Xia Hua was startled, thinking that her father said that she was breaking the news. How could grandpa be so calm and calm?

He can actually laugh!

"Don't worry about anything. After all, there are still more than a few years left for the prince to ascend the throne."

"Grandpa would like to ask you, you went down to Tianshan Mountain to Ningguo, and you also met Li Chenan... What do you think of this kid Li Chenan?"

Xia Hua was suddenly startled, her face suddenly turned red, and after a while it slowly dimmed again.

She lowered her head slightly and sighed: "No matter how good it is, so what? After all, people cannot be resurrected after death."

Xia Mochou leaned over again and looked at his granddaughter's face carefully. He already understood that this granddaughter really fell in love with Li Chenan.

He didn't say that Li Chenan was still alive.

What he said was: "Actually, the prince is very interested in you. Since Li Chenan is dead... you are not young anymore. You will get married eventually, so marry the prince. The queen of Wu must be yours. What do you think?"

?”

Xia Hua suddenly raised her head, her eyes were focused, and her words were very firm: "No!"

"Chen An passed away, I, my heart has condensed the image of the devil, it's him!"

"There's no way I'm going to marry anyone again!"

"I want to go back to Tianshan and live my whole life there like my master!"

Xia Mo frowned, not angry, but asked extremely curiously: "You said, you have condensed the demonic phase? Is this the demonic phase still Li Chenan?"
