After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Ningguo.

Outside the north of Guangling City.

On Peach Blossom Mountain.

There is a pavilion on Peach Blossom Mountain, named Guanpu Pavilion.

The waterfall in February lost its momentum in summer and looked more graceful.

There is a grave not far from the Waterfall Pavilion.

Green grass has sprouted on the grave.

The tomb faced Peach Blossom Villa down the mountain, and one could have a panoramic view of the entire Peach Blossom Villa when sitting in front of the tomb.

At this moment, there are two people sitting in front of the grave.

Two middle-aged men.

One is wearing a Confucian shirt and a Confucian crown. He is Li Wenhan, the principal of Zhuxia Academy in Guangling City!
The other is wearing a brocade gown, with a powerful figure, he is Zhongli Ruoshui's father Zhonglisu!
The paper money in front of the grave has been burned out, only the lingering smoke.

Zhong Lisu looked at the Peach Blossom Villa below, and asked, "When did you come back?"

Li Wenhan also looked at the Peach Blossom Villa below, and replied, "It's been three days."

"What are your plans for the future?"

"I am a teacher, of course I will continue to teach at Takeshita Academy."

Zhong Lisu turned his head to look at Li Wenhan, and asked suspiciously: "Chenan...whose son is it?"

Li Wenhan smiled slightly, "The son of Princess Yun'an!"

Zhong Lisu was startled: "In the third year of Zhaohua, when Lu Xiaoyu, the owner of Yun'an County, and Qiao Zitong, the county magistrate, disappeared, the owner of Yun'an County did not give birth to Li Chen'an..."

Zhong Lisu was interrupted by Li Wenhan before he finished speaking.

"These are not important anymore. Chen An grew up beside me. His surname is Li. I treat him as my own, even closer than my own son."

"I poured all my heart and soul into him, but unexpectedly he really disappointed me...and also disappointed the princess."

"It's just that neither the Princess nor I expected that a person's transformation would come so suddenly and so dramatically!"

"On March [-]rd of the year before last, he suddenly came to his senses, as if he was a different person... You and I both know that he is really not as low-key and forbearing as the world rumors say, he really can't even memorize the Three Character Classic! "

"But suddenly he can write poetry, and it is the best poetry that no one in the world can write!"

"Those poems and his painted screens spread, Princess Yun'an knew about it immediately."

"So Princess Yun'an has come to Guangling City again. She has been to the tavern under the banyan tree, to the Huaping Lake, and to Peach Blossom Island to meet Shang Di."

"Of course, except me and my wife, no one knows that she is Li Chenan's mother."

"She hasn't met Li Chenan face to face, she just glanced at Li Chenan from a distance."

"Then...she went to Kyoto."

"I don't know what she did after she went to the capital, but I think she must have met Mrs. Fan, or she may have talked to Changsun Jinghong under the crooked neck tree in the Imperial City Division, and she must have met with Mrs. Fan." Xi Wei drank tea."

"Perhaps it is for this reason that after Li Chen'an went to the capital, he was able to get the care of so many people, and with the support of those people, he was able to become the regent of Ning Kingdom!"

Zhong Lisu suddenly realized.

Ningguo's regent... In fact, these people originally wanted to support Li Chen'an's enthronement as emperor!
In the deal between Princess Yun'an and the dignitaries of the capital, Li Chen'an might be enthroned as emperor!

It's just that Li Chenan chose to give up.

Can ordinary people sit in such a high and powerful position?

Obviously impossible.

What's more, it took only half a year for Li Chenan to enter the capital, and he became the regent without a hitch!

Wen Zhuyu is willing to come out of the mountain to help Li Chenan manage the country, perhaps there is also the entrustment of Princess Yun'an.

Li Wenhan said again at this time:
"Of course, I don't know what kind of deal they reached, but no matter what, she paved the way for Li Chenan's future. It's just that Li Chenan went astray, and he walked into a desperate situation on the original broad road."

"But this may also be part of the deal!"

Zhong Lisu asked in surprise, "What does this mean?"

Li Wenhan pondered for three breaths, "I'm thinking, the deal between her and Mrs. Fan may involve letting Li Chenan save Zhongli Ruoshui!"

"Otherwise, with Xi Wei's temperament, Li Chenan will definitely not let Li Chenan give up state affairs and go to Shuzhou!"

"... She and Xi Wei are the same way?"

"Of course, after all, Xi Wei was a frequent visitor to Shangchehou's mansion back then. Xiwei's ideals not only affected Shangchehou Lu Zhanxiao, but also Princess Yun'an."

"Princess Yun'an and Qiao Zitong are married, this is Xi Wei's matchmaker!"

"..." Zhong Lisu was dumbfounded.

Li Wenhan said again: "Qiao Zitong, people who knew Qiao Zitong back then thought he was a down-and-out scholar who went to Beijing to catch the exam."

"Is not it?"

"of course not!"

"Then who is he?"

"In the former Yong Kingdom, there was a very famous and mysterious family called the Qiao Family Courtyard!"

"After Lu Zhanxiao destroyed the Yong Kingdom, the Qiao family compound disappeared from the world without a sound. No one knows where they went, except Xi Wei!"

"Because Xi Wei used to be Qiao Zitong's husband!"

"After the Yong Kingdom was destroyed, Xi Wei came to the capital, but except for a very few people, no one knew his true colors."

"It so happens that my father, Li Chunfu, knows."

"After being in contact with Xi Wei for a period of time, my father was also infected by Xi Wei's ideals...he also became one of Xi Wei's followers!"

"and many more!"

Zhong Lisu waved his hand: "Who is Xi Wei? Is he still alive?"

"No, Xi Wei is already dead, he died in the bloody case in Shang Chehou's Mansion in the winter of the third year of Zhaohua!"

"Then you said Princess Yun'an went to the capital to find Xi Wei?"

"Although Xi Wei is dead, the flower of his ideal has quietly bloomed in the minds of many people, so there is Xi Wei again in the world."

This Xi Wei is not that Xi Wei, but they are like-minded.

"...Since he is so mysterious, how does the emperor know that he was in Shangchehou's mansion that night?"

"The emperor didn't know, but someone told the emperor!"

"Who?"

Li Wenhan withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhong Lisu.

He didn't say who it was, but asked, "Is the relationship between Master Hou and Madam good these years?"

Zhong Lisu was stunned, "I've been in Guangling City...they occasionally come to live in Guangling City, and their relationship should be very good...what do you mean by that?"

"no other meanings,"

Li Wenhan stood up, patted his buttocks, "I have to go home, there are classes in the academy tomorrow."

"and many more!"

Zhong Lisu also stood up, "Where is Princess Yun'an?"

"do not know."

"Since she knows that Li Chen'an is her son, why hasn't she recognized this son in the past two years?"

"...Come on, if Chen'an can come out of Wangqing Terrace alive, she will be your in-laws. If you arrive in Guangling City, you have to entertain her with good wine and good food."

"Naturally, what I want to ask is, she and Qiao Zitong have kept their names in hiding for so many years, yet she actually knows about Li Chenan... You have been in touch with her all this time?"

Li Wenhan shook his head: "I'm just a teacher. If Princess Yun'an doesn't come to the Li Mansion, I don't have any news about her. But I do know that after she left the capital, there is only one person left behind."

"Who?"

"Yang Sixian!"

"...that Yang Sixian from the Fish and Dragon Society?"

"Yes, he has many identities. Even if you want to find him, it may be difficult... There is no need to find him again."

"Let's go, I want to chat with you, mainly because I hope that if Chen An really rescues Zhongli Ruoshui... you are his old father-in-law, if something really happens, I hope you can stand behind him. "

"Farewell!"

"What's going to happen?"

Li Wenhan stepped forward, "I don't know, the key depends on whether Chen An and your daughter can come out safely!"

"Father sent the guards to the Wu Kingdom just to bring them out of Wangqingtai!"

Li Wenhan stopped, pondered for three breaths: "If that's the case, it would be great!"

Zhong Lisu frowned and looked at Li Wenhan's back, "What do you mean...isn't that?"

Li Wenhan continued on his way, "If you go to the capital, it would be fine to ask Lord Hou!"

Zhong Lisu's eyes were full of doubts.

He watched Li Wenhan's back disappear, he retracted his gaze, and landed on the peach forest on the Peach Blossom Mountain.

In February, the spring is cold and cold.

But there are so few peach blossoms that are not afraid of the cold.

Zhong Lisu reached out and touched the petals of a peach blossom.

After a while, he left Peach Blossom Mountain, boarded a carriage, and flew towards Kyoto. (end of this chapter)
