After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 211 A Big Pie
Cheng Guogong Cheng Jingting held the teacup and looked at Li Chenan.

Li Chenan suddenly widened his eyes——

For the sake of Ningguo, the dignified Lord of a country asked himself to stay in the capital?
Did the old man drink too much?
I am an unknown junior in Guangling City, does this mean that I am here to save Ningguo?
He couldn't help grinning, he didn't have such lofty ideals at all, and he didn't even think he had the ability to save Ningguo, he still just wanted to spend his life relaxed and happy with Zhongli Ruoshui.

In fact, at this moment, Li Chenan didn't even know that his reputation in Yujing City was already in full swing.

He has become the idol of worship in the hearts of countless scholars in Kyoto.

He has even become the focus of all forces.

It's just that those forces at this moment are just watching, waiting for the results of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This result refers to whether he, Li Chenan, can make a big splash and become the leader again, and whether he can survive the Mid-Autumn Festival night!
"Grandpa Cheng, I'm a person... I really don't have any other advantages, but I still have this one!"

"I am very self-aware, I know exactly how much I have!"

"If you ask me to do poetry and essays, or come up with some ideas to start a small business to earn some money, I can really do it, but... saving the country is something that you entrust to me!"

Cheng Jingting was not surprised by Li Chenan's refusal.

After all, in his opinion, Li Chenan had spent the past 17 years in Guangling City, and before that he was still known as such a fool in Guangling City.

But on the contrary, it was this fool's name that made Cheng Jingting feel that this kid was unpredictable.

Because being able to endure for 17 years is not something ordinary people can do!
This shows that this kid is extremely patient, and the city is deep enough!
Such people usually think about Zhou Xiang and can live longer.

He withdrew his gaze, took a sip of tea, put down the cup, looked up at Li Chenan again, and said:
"Do you know why I told you this?"

Li Chenan shook his head.

"Because Hua Manting and Shang Di have come to the mansion to talk about you with this old man before!"

"They speak highly of you!"

"They even think that you can be compared with the former Prime Minister Shang!"

"Hua Manting said this. He said that you are not only good at poetry and writing, but more importantly, your brain!"

"You are not a reckless man, you know the general situation, and you know how to plan before acting!"

Cheng Zhe swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned his head to look at Li Chenan, no matter what, he didn't see the slightest demeanor like Prime Minister Shang in Li Chenan.

It's not that he's too young, but... this kid has a surprised look on his face.

This will lose that calm and calm atmosphere, instead of showing wisdom, it will appear superficial.

"Of course, just what they say can't impress the old man, and the old man also knows that their purpose is to hope that the old man can keep you safe in the capital."

"The old man really thinks that you have this ability because of what another person said!"

Li Chenan was inexplicably surprised again, there are still people in this world who think highly of him!

"Who?"

"Warm boiled rain!"

As soon as this name came out, Li Chenan and Chen Zhe all opened their mouths in disbelief.

Li Chenan's shock was that he had only heard of the name Wen Zhuyu, but the two of them had never met each other. He shouldn't know himself at all. Why did he recommend himself to Cheng Guogong?

Chen Zhe was shocked because Wen Zhuyu had been missing for many years, yet he suddenly reappeared and met his grandfather once.

"He said, you are an outsider!"

"He said that the current court of Ningguo is almost controlled by Xi Wei through Ji Tai."

"Even if the Duke of Yan's mansion controls the Chiyan Army, this is part of Xi Wei's plan, because the emperor decreed to kill Lu Zhanxiao's family back then, and Duke Yan contributed to the flames..."

"You can understand that the case was planned by Xi Wei, who then instigated the Duke of Yan's mansion, and jointly contributed to the tragedy of being wiped out while waiting in the car!"

"This is also one of the reasons why Yan Jidao no longer stays in the mansion and travels around the world!"

"Yan Jidao and Lu Zhanxiao, they used to be very good friends!"

"Ningguo's five major government houses now have four of them. I Cheng Guogong's, Qi Guogong's and Dingguohou's mansions are inseparable. They are regarded as one party, called the Royalist Party... The prince is orthodox. On the surface, we remain neutral, but in reality It is to protect the crown prince, so that he can successfully ascend the throne as emperor, so that the 300-year-old state of Ningguo can continue smoothly!"

"However, Duke Yan's Mansion, Duke Luo's Mansion, and the Prime Minister's Mansion belong to the same faction. Their common goal is to raise the second prince, who is now the Prince of Germany, Ning Zhixing, to inherit the throne."

"The comparison of the strengths of the two sides... In fact, they are superior, especially because there is Xi Wei who is planning for this... His plan is wolfish ambition, and it is to avenge the destruction of the Yong Kingdom!"

"If the two of us fight over this, Ningguo will be in chaos!"

"Ningguo is surrounded by enemies on all sides, so there must be no chaos. What should we do?"

"Wen Zhuyu means... This requires an outside force to intervene to contain and balance our forces, until the emperor can wake up and understand the current situation, and he can set things right... and wipe out Ji Tai's party."

Li Chenan was dumbfounded.

This is a fight between gods, what does it have to do with me, a mortal?

If I entered it rashly, wouldn't I become cannon fodder?
"Why me?"

Cheng Guogong leaned over with a serious face, very serious:
"Because you are Li Chunfu's grandson!"

"Li Chunfu was an official in the Taiwei, and he left behind many contacts, including his former disciples and the descendants of those colleagues... If you are an official, these contacts should be used by you!"

"The forces in the court and China are all surrendering to Ji Tai, but you won't, because Ji Tai wants your life!"

"If you stand in the middle of the court and confront Ji Tai tit for tat, those kneeling people will stand up a lot, and they will stand behind you!"

"Of course, there is also the reason behind you are Dingguohou's Mansion, Cheng Guogong's Mansion, and Qi Guogong's Mansion!"

"The old man will recommend you to be an official in the court...but there is still a lack of an admonishing doctor in the court. He is on the fifth rank. Although the official is not too big, he can be listed in the court class, and his advice can reach the heavens!"

"Afterwards, we will all help you until... Ji Tai's family is uprooted!"

"As long as you nod your head, you will no longer be in any danger at the Mid-Autumn Festival. From now on, all our resources will be at your disposal!"

"how?"

This is a big pie!

It was painted in front of Li Chenan in the sincere words of the old man and in the expectant sight.

Nodding his head, he reached the sky in one step.

Moreover, he has also formed an alliance with high-ranking and influential figures such as the Dingguohou Mansion, Cheng Guogong Mansion, and Qi Guogong Mansion.

It would be difficult for any teenager to refuse.

But he was Li Chenan.

First of all, he has no intention of saving this country at all, because whether the country exists or not has nothing to do with him.

Secondly, what the Duke of Yan expects is to maintain the current relatively balanced status quo, and wait for the fatuous emperor to wake up spontaneously one day... This is really typical idealism in Li Chenan's view.

In this world, I am the only one who has changed from a fool to a genius!
Unless the emperor was also possessed by someone who came through.

Idealism can kill people.

Li Chen'an didn't want to die, he still wanted to spend the rest of his life with Zhongli Ruoshui.

Besides, fighting against that old Ji Tai in the court...Let's not talk about whether the grandpa's former disciples and old descendants have such courage, just the huge net that Ji Tai has woven in the court for so many years , is it so easy to be torn?

This is not a dead end situation.

It's the ending of his own death without a place to bury him!

"It's a big deal, and I need to think about it."

"Okay, the old man is waiting for your news."

Li Chenan left Cheng Guogong's mansion, of course he didn't think about it, but wanted to escape from the capital!

The water in Kyoto is too deep.

Even if you want to do something, you will need another two or three years!
After Li Chenan left Cheng Guogong's mansion, another person walked into Cheng Guogong Cheng Jingting's study.

This is an old man.

Very old very old man!

The old man was gray-haired.

With his back bent and a walking stick on his back, he staggered to the front of the door, and then seemed to have lost a lot of strength to raise his legs before crossing the threshold.

He stood in the study.

At this moment, Cheng Zhe was dumbfounded—he is... Duke Huai who had long been forgotten by people!

He quickly stood up, walked quickly to Duke Huai, helped Duke Huai to the chair, and then helped him sit on the chair.

Duke Huai held his cane with both hands, but there was a smile on his old face.

"how?"

"That kid is cunning, he doesn't seem to have the intention to be an official."

"No hurry, he will choose to be an official."

Cheng Guogong was taken aback, "You old guy hasn't left your lair all these years, how do you know he will choose to be an official?"

"It's very simple, he has only one choice!"

"...What if he insists on going back to Guangling City with Zhongli Ruoshui? Should he be tied up or his legs broken?"

Duke Huai shook his head, "Zhongli Ruoshui will not return to Guangling City, so he will definitely stay."

"Why?"

"Because Zhongli Ruoshui's illness was not completely cured. Fan Taohua called her from Guangling City to Kyoto just to treat her illness."

Cheng Guogong suddenly realized, but asked in doubt: "Even if Zhongli Ruoshui doesn't leave the capital, Li Chen'an and Zhongli Ruoshui can continue to live in Huaxi Bieyuan, that girl is not short of money."

"You're right, so... I also went to meet someone."

"Who?"

"Old Yulou, Shangdi!"

"Shang Di can influence Li Chenan's thoughts?"

"Shang Di can't, but Changsun Jinghong may be able to."

Cheng Jingting didn't ask again for a long time, he kept looking at Duke Huai, and only then did he realize that this old fellow was not as peaceful as everyone imagined.

"Did you send someone to take away the child that Empress Lu gave birth to?"

"No."

Cheng Jingting leaned over and said in a low voice, "You know who it is! You also know where that child is now!"

Duke Huai did not speak.

He stood up tremblingly, walked tremblingly to the door of the study, looked at the bright moon in the night sky, "Don't worry about these things."

"Instead, you want the Dingguohou Mansion to pay attention to Changle Palace!"
