Chapter 167 Imperial Edict
Prince De's Mansion is located on the east of the 12th Bridge in the lower reaches of the Yudai River.
It is far from the Imperial Palace, and it is even far away from the prosperous place of Yujing City.
This is a not-wide street and alley, with lush sycamore trees growing on both sides of the street and alley, so this street and alley have a very beautiful name-
Qifeng Alley!
Prince De’s mansion is located in the south end of Qifeng Alley.
Of course it covers a huge area, and of course the courtyard wall is extremely high.
Just in the courtyard wall, in the study room of the main courtyard, the second prince Ning Zhixing, who had just been named Prince De by the emperor for only more than a month, was sitting at the tea table in the study room.
Opposite him was a wheelchair, and an old man in a black robe sat on the wheelchair.
Behind him were two young maids, two maids slap him.
He did not cook tea because it was too hot and the tea was too hot. There was a pot of wine in front of him, and the old man in black held a glass of wine in his hand.
"The Yokonomiyaki's Yokonomiyaki can be compared with the Kyoto Rilu,"
The old man in black took another sip. The face that seemed to be covered with only a layer of skin was not fluctuating at all. He bent down and put down the wine glass, and said, "But it is far from Li Chen'an's Huapingchun!"
The second prince smiled slightly, "I drank a cup of Huapingchun at my grandfather's house one night. This is true, but that boy's Huapingchun yield is extremely small. In addition... I haven't had the chance to meet Li Chen'an yet, so I have to feel wronged you and just treat it as quenching my thirst."
The old man in black raised his head, and his turbid eyes looked at Ning Zhixing.
"Ji Xiang is a little busy today. After all, the old master Wei from Yue Kingdom is about to arrive in Kyoto. Some things need to be arranged by Ji Xiang himself, so he sent me to ask His Highness."
Ning Zhixing raised his sword eyebrows slightly, "Is it the matter of that imperial edict?"
"Yes, Ji Xiang was a little confused. He felt that Li Chen'an's chess piece had not yet played a greater role. Why did Your Highness want to twist this chess piece out of the chess board?"
Ning Zhixing picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and smiled and said, "Because I don't allow such a rampant person in Kyoto to exist!"
The man in black was stunned and suddenly fell silent.
This was the second day when Li Chen'an entered Kyoto.
But the name Li Chenan is the most talked about in the streets and alleys of Kyoto, whether it is peddlers, students and literati, or even the girls in brothels.
Because of his actions at the South Gate of Kyoto, and even more so because of his words at the South Gate of Kyoto.
It is also because of his identity and what he did in Guangling City.
His poems can be included in "Ning's Collection of Poems and lyrics"!
He created a new genre of poetry, and the song "Tian Jingsha" was widely circulated in Kyoto.
And his wine!
Whether it is peach blossom brew or better painting the spring.
The peach blossom wine has been sold by merchants from Guangling City to Yujing City. Of course, there are very few people and very few people who drink it. However, the reputation of the peach blossom wine has become famous in Kyoto, and even surpasses the Ruilu in Kyoto.
Just such a small person who came from Guangling City became the most dazzling star in Kyoto overnight.
But if he says he is rampant... it seems a bit far-fetched.
When the old man in black came, Li Chenan did not pose any threat to the second prince, and the two could not even be beaten.
At least for now.
In addition, Li Chenan has great uses. If he is really killed by the emperor, this game of chess would be imperfect.
The second prince Ning Zhixing took the face of the old man in black and restrained his smile, and his tone became cold, "Isn't it just a small person from Guangling City to die? I think this way of death is the best!"
"The Prime Minister's Mansion will not have a conflict with the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion. Since the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion is loyal to the emperor... the father killed Li Chen'an, and I think the Dingguo Marquis or the old lady will not turn against the boy and the father."
After pondering for a moment, he said again: "In addition, he lives in Huaxi Villa, I... am very displeased!"
The old man in black gave the second prince a deep look, waved his hand, and the man in his twenties who was not far behind him walked over.
He picked up his wheelchair and walked out of the study.
He put his wheelchair on the ground and pushed the old man in black out of Prince De's mansion.
"You go and tell Ji Xiang that this is Concubine Ji's idea!"
The man replied: "It's not too late to push you back and tell Ji Xiang again."
"...Yes, the emperor has not arrived in Kyoto yet, but the emperor's imperial edict has arrived... Then let's give up this pawn, it's a pity, but it doesn't hinder the overall situation."
"Walk slowly, it's quite comfortable to shine in the sun,"
The old man in black looked up at the blue sky divided by the lush sycamore leaves, "I don't know how long this sun can last for the rest of my life."
"Wen Zhuoyu, I will die of old age if you don't come out!"
"Where did you hide him that kid?"
...
...
Huaxi Villa.
Li Chenan took the imperial edict from the old eunuch. He stood up, took out a thousand taels of silver bill from his sleeve bag, and stuffed it into his hand with a smile.
"Brother-in-law?"
The old eunuch clearly felt the thickness of this stack of silver notes.
His old face also showed a smile. It's a sensible child, so he is not unfair to come here to visit him.
"The family's surname is Ma, Mr. Li, you have heard of your famous family in the palace. You are really a young hero. No wonder the emperor issued this order before he returned to the palace..."
"You should understand the emperor's expectations for you. If you can shine again in the Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Association... I believe the emperor will have a heavy reward. Maybe he will enter the temple like this and the future is promising!"
Li Chenan bowed and bowed: "Thank you, my father-in-law, if there is really that day for you,"
He leaned over and whispered in Eunuch Ma's ear: "You will definitely thank my father-in-law again!"
"Hahahaha," Ma Eunuch Ma smiled heartily, "With the Marquis of Dingguo at the back and the emperor's appreciation, the family will rely on Mr. Li's care at that time!"
The two of Huahuazi lifted each other with their own ulterior motives, and then Ma Eunuch said goodbye, Li Chenan sent him out of the gate of the Huaxi Villa before walking back inside.
Zhongli Ruoshui and others were very worried about him, with Amu being exceptional.
He was still standing by the fence, still holding his wine bag, still looking at the lotus under the scorching sun.
He seemed not to have heard the imperial edict that Eunuch Ma had just read.
He is still like a cold knife!
Li Chenan's face now showed a smile, "There is no way to run away, but this also means that I have become a thorn in the eyes of some people."
"Good!"
"...But this is an obvious conspiracy!" Su Muxin said worriedly.
This is indeed a conspiracy.
Because the imperial edict says:
I have heard that the poems and prose of Guangling Li Chenan are shocking the world and are hailed as the number one talented man in Ningguo!
I also heard that Wei Xuanmo, a great scholar of Yue Kingdom, would lead talented men from Yue Kingdom to Beijing to participate in the grand ceremony of the Mid-Autumn Festival in August.
My wish is that Li Chen'an will attend, and he will bring glory to Ningguo and me at the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Conference!
I'm so proud of this!
This is equivalent to an invitation letter sent by the emperor to Li Chenan.
He used Li Chen's title of the number one talented man in Anning Country!
The purpose is to defeat the talented men of Yue at the literary meeting!
I didn't say what I lost, nor did I say what I won.
Li Chenan had to participate and had to win!
Because the emperor can't afford to lose face!
"Don't worry about anything, I still say the same thing. Poetry and articles are actually really simple for me!"
When saying this, Amu turned his eyes to Li Chenan.
At this moment, Xiong and the other two hurried in with a jar.
"Hello Miss Three,"
They bowed outside the pavilion and then looked at Li Chenan with curiosity on their faces: "Young Master, we have collected a lot of the things you want."
Li Chenan was very happy, "Get it... and get two basins of water, Master, I will make a trick for you!"
Zhongli Ruoshui raised his eyes and thought that it was already this time. His heart was really big, and he actually wanted to change something!
What kind of trick is it?
The girl was a little curious and was also a little anxious.
Chapter completed!
