Chapter 275 Four Trees
"This crooked-neck tree was planted twenty years ago."
Changsun Jinghong got up from the recliner and sat in front of the stone table.
He pointed to the crooked tree and said:
"In the spring of the third year of Zhaohua, four large-leaf banyan I knew had planted."
"This one in our Imperial City Division was planted by Empress Lu... At that time, the Imperial City Division had almost died in name only. I was also ordered that year to serve as the Imperial City Division."
"It was the husband whom Empress Lu recommended to the emperor, so I am here, guarding this big-leaf banyan and growing into a towering tree."
Li Chenan pointed at Changsun Jinghong.
Changsun Jinghong's words mean that he was the former confidant of Queen Lu.
As for the rumored life experience, Empress Lu is her mother. So Changsun Jinghong naturally hopes that he can trust him.
Even though he has been guarding this crooked tree, he seems to be waiting for him to come back and take over.
Then the emperor rewarded himself with the position of deputy tutoring, and I am afraid he had this idea.
"The second big-leaf banyan tree is planted by the pond in the back garden of the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion."
"That one was planted by Mrs. Fan... She planted peach blossoms all her life, and for the first time she planted a big-leaf banyan tree. She took good care of it and grew very well."
"The current Marquis' Mansion of Dingguo is almost comparable to the Marquis' Mansion of the Marquis' who was in the car in the past."
Hearing this second tree, Li Chenan was slightly stunned, because the ending of getting on the Marquis’ Mansion was a tragedy!
"The third big-leaf banyan is in the plum garden... Of course, the most plum trees are in the plum garden, but now the big-leaf banyan is the most eye-catching."
"It was planted by Princess Yun'an... Princess Yun'an was the daughter of Lu Zhanxiao back then. Queen Lu was her aunt. The emperor appointed her as Princess Yun'an. Meiyuan was the princess's mansion back then."
Li Chenan suddenly realized that Princess Yun'an was his cousin. No wonder the emperor gave him the Meiyuan.
Princess Yun'an's family was also implicated in the incident of getting on the Marquis' Mansion, but now there are no descendants.
"The fourth plant was planted in the old rain building. This is from Shangdi, you have seen it."
"The old guy Shang Di said that he would go to Guangling City in a few days and go to his Peach Blossom Island."
"He gave you the old rain building. If you have time, go to the old rain building occasionally and take care of the tree."
Changsun Jinghong now twisted a pig's tail and chewed it. He turned around and ordered Wang Zheng Jinzhong: "Tell the kitchen to cook two more dishes, even if it is to welcome our deputy.
Wang Zheng and the golden bell should go down and leave, Changsun Jinghong said again:
"Twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and these four trees are already towering... Even if the crooked tree in ours is a bit ugly, it has already covered the sky."
Changsun Jinghong spit out the bones, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, pointed to the pig's tail on the plate, "Try it, it tastes good."
Li Chenan was not polite and turned a piece and chewed it. "Well, the sauce smells rich and it's good to have a skill!"
"Made it by the chef in Juxian Pavilion of Ruoshui."
"Then from now on, I will ask Juxian Pavilion to send you a plate every day."
Changsun Jinghong waved his hand: "It's delicious and boring to eat it. You can try it occasionally to make the taste juicy."
"Those four trees grow well, but the four people who planted these four trees have different fates in just twenty years."
"The most glorious thing today is the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion."
"Shang Di... lives a very nourishing life, and devotes his feelings to the lyrics and music, which fulfills his ideals."
"Only Empress Lu, who planted the tree in our yard, and the Princess Yun'an in Meiyuan... Princess Yun'an is unknown now. The Imperial City Department has been tracing the clues that have not been useful for so many years."
"I haven't asked the Imperial City Department to investigate again in the past two years."
“Why?”
"If you are still alive, why bother again? If you are dead and your bones are cold, why bother searching again?"
Changsun Jinghong sighed, maybe he was old, his heart was no longer as cold as before, but instead he felt a little more about the changes in the world.
“Plum Garden, that’s a good place.”
"When winter comes, heavy snow is flying, and when those plum blossoms are in full bloom, the scenery of the plum garden is the most beautiful."
"I heard that the place has been repaired. When will it be moved to Meiyuan to live?"
Li Chenan thought for a while:
"I think in a few days... the officials who the emperor rewarded me are not too busy. The Supervisory Department is in name only, and it is not possible to go. Doctor of the Tai Academy... I don't have to worry about going there."
"As for this place, you are here, I can just come to talk to you occasionally."
"So I think it won't be a waste of time to live in Yunjibeye."
Changsun Jinghong pondered for a moment, "It would be better to move into the plum garden earlier."
“Why?”
"Although the plum garden is not as big as Yunjibeye, it is more refined. In addition... you may not go to the Supervision Department and Tai Academy, but you have to come here every day."
“…”
"If the Imperial City Si says it is simple, it is simple, and if it is complicated, it is also quite complicated."
"The Imperial City Department not only has the Seventh Military Intelligence Department, but the Imperial City Department has a total of seven departments. You need to know the commanders of the seven departments, and you also need to understand the operation of the Imperial City Department and know the strength of the Imperial City Department."
"I'm old, I hope you can grow up soon."
"I'm tired too...I hope you can carry this burden and make me feel more relaxed."
"……All right!"
Li Chenan asked Changsun Jinghong in confusion: "I am really the son of Queen Lu?"
"...Of course, otherwise why would the emperor treat you so seriously!"
"So who killed Queen Lu?"
"This is what you want to investigate after you come to the Imperial City Department!"
"Do you have eyebrows?"..
Changsun Jinghong pondered for a moment and shook his head, "I think that if you want to investigate this matter, I'm afraid you have to take down Ji Tai before thinking about it."
Now Li Chenan’s biggest enemy is Ji Tai and everyone in Ji Tai!
This power is extremely huge, so huge that even if the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion wants to do something, it has to weigh it again and again.
"I heard that you scolded that old thing today so that Sanli was fainted from the ground with vomiting blood?"
Li Chenan smiled, "I was impulsive."
"Impulse is actually a good thing. If you scold him to death, it would be even better."
"The problem now is that Ji Tai will probably be anxious. He won't care what your identity is, he will definitely attack you."
"But living to his age, he often takes a little care in his work. If he wants to kill you, he must be fully prepared."
"I mean... He may mobilize troops and horses to come, and he will steal the country without stopping!"
Li Chenan was stunned, "He is so brave?"
Changsun Jinghong stroked his long beard and smiled slightly: "Anyway, he can't live for many years, and he also wants to go crazy for the last time!"
"In that dark building, there are many things that have been collected about him over the years and his party. You can go there yourself in the future."
"After lunch, you can go to the MI7 with Wang Zheng and Jin Zhong."
"Start at seven places."
"The place is a little dark, you...you have to be prepared."
