After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 490 Depressed Prince

The old man stroked his long beard and curled his lips, displeased with the name Wen Zhuyu.

He already knew about the great changes in Ningguo's current regime.

As the Great Confucian of the Wu Kingdom, the Crown Prince Taifu, he has two main purposes to accompany the Crown Prince on this trip to Ningguo——

First, he really wanted to meet Li Chenan, the regent of Ningguo.

Some of Li Chenan's poems and articles have already been introduced to the Wu Kingdom. In his opinion, those poems written by Li Chenan are very good, and none of them are included in any of the "Ning Poetry Collection Yuan Baipian" under!
He really deserves the title of Poetry Immortal!

However, after Wu's spies reported Li Chenan's life story to him, he really couldn't believe that there would be such a big change in the world!

Wu, can soar to the sky as soon as he realizes the epiphany.

But Wen has never had such a precedent!

What the text needs is thick accumulation and thin hair.

He, Li Chen'an, has been a fool in Guangling City for 17 years. Is this a lot of accumulation?

Yun Shuxian couldn't believe it.

He and Li Chunfu had met each other before, and had talked at night by candlelight.

As for Mr. Chunfu's knowledge, he is naturally impeccable, but knowledge cannot be instilled into another person by force like a warrior's internal strength!

Regardless of Li Chenan's real identity, even Mr. Chunfu has been teaching him...pretending to be a fool for 17 years, and suddenly he soars into the sky and becomes a poet...Mr. Chunfu is not a fairy!

Therefore, Yun Shuxian was extremely curious about Li Chenan.

Second, he thinks there is no difficulty in this negotiation at all.

Accompanying His Royal Highness to come here will be another rich achievement before His Royal Highness takes the throne.

He is already very old, and he is already a great minister.

This simple negotiation probably does not require him to come forward.

Ningguo has been weak for a long time.

The regent Li Chen'an is also a pure literati.

As a literati, it is their job to do poetry and articles, and to govern the country... The constitution he made up is simply a big joke!

Therefore, the real ruler of Ning Kingdom should be Wen Zhuyu, a foodie!
This piece of shit!

Thinking of Wen Zhuyu, the corners of Yun Shuxian's mouth twitched, as if thinking of some unpleasant past.

He admitted that Wen Zhuyu has the ability to govern the country.

Otherwise, when Wen Zhuyu left Wu Guodong Xu City, the emperor would not have personally met him three times.

But he didn't want to see Wen Zhuyu.

He is here to meet former friends.

For example, the garden is full of flowers and the boss is Confucianism.

Also like that legendary woman Fan Taohua.

It's a pity that it was only on the way here that I learned that Fan Taohua had died in the capital change in Ningguo.

And Shang Di, the great composer, also died.

Then we can only make tea and talk with Hua Manting.

The two got out of the carriage and stood under the city wall of the south gate of Yujing City.

The sun is just right.

The city wall is still towering.

There are also many business travelers entering and leaving the city gate.

It seems that the change in Kyoto did not have much impact on the city and these people.

It's just...the itinerary of the mission has already been handed over to Ningguo's Ministry of Rites. According to the logic, Ningguo should send important officials to welcome them.

What about people?
"Wen Zhuyu is now the chief minister of the cabinet of Ningguo. There is no emperor in Ningguo. His Royal Highness the crown prince came here in person. According to the etiquette system, Wen Zhuyu will lead the ministers to greet him..."

Yun Shuxian frowned slightly, stroked his white beard, and looked at the city gate.

There were only a few defenders standing upright at the city gate.

There is no sign of the officials who came to greet them.

"Although he, Wen Zhuyu, had some quarrels with the old man in the past, after all, he has been a staff member in the Eastern Palace for two years, and His Highness was also his master... This guy, could it be that his eyes grew to the top of his head when he became the chief minister? "

Prince Wu Qian didn't know either.

The officials from the Ministry of Rites in front of him are also waiting anxiously at the entrance of the door. Indeed, none of the officials from Ningguo came out to greet him.

"Could it be that the day when I handed over the itinerary to Ningguo Ritual Department was wrong?"

"...Today is the seventeenth day of the first lunar month. I will draw it up for my master before the time is up. How could it be wrong?"

Wu Qian felt a little uncomfortable.

He originally thought that when he came here as a prince, Wen Zhuyu would definitely lead all the officials to greet him.

If their attitude is good enough, in the face of Wen Zhuyu, Wu Guo can even take a step back in this negotiation, and just get the first line of Wuyaguan into his hands.

Boundless Pass is too important.

That place used to be the territory of Yong Kingdom.

Between Wu State and Ning State, there was originally a small Yong State as a buffer.

But Ningguo took advantage of some conflicts in Wuguo and annexed Yongguo!

This is something Wu Guo cannot tolerate!

Wuyaguan is in the hands of Ningguo, and Wuyaguan is condescending!
Going out of Wuyaguan is the [-]-mile Pingchuan Xiayuan Dang in Wu State!
If Ningguo raises troops, it will directly threaten Xiayuan Prefecture, one of Wu's five major grain-producing areas.

Xiayuan Prefecture has tens of thousands of households and tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land!

The entire Xiayuan Prefecture is easy to attack and difficult to defend, so that the state of Wu had to build seven fortresses in Xiayuandang, with [-] troops stationed in order to prevent the invasion of Ning State.

Fortunately, Ningguo's national fortune has declined in the past 20 years.

That former emperor actually spent huge sums of money to build the Changle Palace, and the government lived in the Changle Palace to practice Taoism!

These 20 years are thanks to Ji Tai, the prime minister of Ningguo!

Because of him, Ningguo became poorer and weaker.

The Red Flame Army stationed at Wuya Pass did not step out of Wuya Pass after all.

But this is not a long-term matter. Only by incorporating Wuya Pass into the territory of Wu State, and Wu State stationing troops on Wuya Pass, can this huge hidden danger be truly eliminated.

So here he is.

With many ministers in the court.

He came just in time—

Emperor Ning Guo passed away, and that poet fairy became the regent, and he didn't care about government affairs...or he didn't understand government affairs at all.

He actually left the capital and went to Shuzhou to find his fiancée Zhongli Ruoshui!
Another ridiculous prince!

This is the great fortune of Wu Guo!
Ji Tai's remnants spread all over Ningguo. Although he is dead, his followers will still stir up trouble in Ningguo.

Even if Wen Zhuyu became the chief assistant of the cabinet, he would not be able to complete the cleansing of Ji Tai's remnants within a few years.

Ningguo is still precarious in the wind and rain.

They dare not start any war at all, because they will be afraid of internal chaos!
In Prince Wu Qian's mind, Wen Zhuyu wished to exchange Wuya Pass for peace on the southern border of Ning Kingdom.

Then this trip should be easy and pleasant.

Then when his car arrives in Yujing City, he should receive the highest courtesy!

But what's going on now?

Just when he was in doubt, there was finally movement at the city gate——

Both he and Yun Shuxian looked over, they were a little far away, but they could still see that there were only three officials coming from the city gate!
Yu Dingzhi, Minister of Rites he brought, seemed to be communicating with them at the moment.

Not long after, Yu Dingzhi hurried over.

His face was originally very white, but now it was pitch black!

He bowed and saluted, "Your Highness, it is Li Wenyuan, Shaoqing of Ningguo Honglu Temple, who is here to welcome His Highness!"

Wu Qian frowned: "Only a Honghe Temple Shaoqing?"

"The other two are the little masters of Honglu Temple!"

"...Where's Wen Zhuyu?"

"Return to Your Highness, then Li Wenyuan said that Wen Zhuyu is not free!"

"..."

Yu Dingzhi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said again: "Li Wenyuan also said..."

"say what?"

"He said that the officials of Ningguo are very busy now and have no time to receive us. If His Highness has nothing to do... just go back!"
