After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

April 40, the 27th year of the founding of the state of Wu.

Emperor Wu met Li Chenan, the regent of Ningguo, on the ninth floor of Xijian Tower.

This is a huge event in the history of both countries.

It not only marks the alliance between Wu and Ning, it also has a profound impact on the state of Wu, and even directly determines the future national destiny of the state of Wu!

It also determines the direction of world history.

Later historians had different opinions on the name of this meeting, but in the end they called it the Jianlou Meeting!

A very common name.

In addition to Wu Di and Li Chenan, there were two other attendees.

One is Xia Mochou, Duke of Xia of the State of Wu.

The other one is Xiao Baozi, the owner of Wanxi Zhai!
That sword tower meeting lasted for a whole day and night!
The next day, Li Chenan and his entourage left the Xijian Tower with Emperor Wu.

April 29.

Li Chenan and Emperor Wu arrived at Dongxu City, the capital of Wu State.

Li Chenan was not invited by Emperor Wu to go to the Wu Palace. He went to Guiyuan.

The first day of May.

Emperor Wu issued an edict to announce to the world that Wu and Ning became allies.

On the same day, a royal order from Ningguo Regent Li Chenan also spread throughout Dongxu City——

Ningguo opened its borders to the world and served as a trade artery for friendship between the two countries.

Encourage merchants from both countries to do business across borders, and ordered Li Wenhou, Minister of Household Affairs of Ning State, to lead a delegation to the State of Wu to discuss detailed trade rules, commodity tax rates, etc.

Suddenly, Dongxu City was in a sensation!
Businessmen of all sizes in the Wu Kingdom rushed to tell each other excitedly, because this meant the coming of a new era!
Its influence was so great that it even overshadowed the rumored reduction of vassalage last year.

……

……

Prince's East Palace.

Wu Qian, the prince of Wu Kingdom, stood in front of the study window with his eyebrows furrowed.

The early summer evening breeze blows in through the window, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers in the garden and the faint body fragrance of the swallows bathing in the pool in the garden.

If in the past.

Wu Qian would never stay in the study at this time.

He must have also gone to the Yuanyang Pond, and must have been playing with Yan'er's purse, which looked like it was in early summer.

But today he did not go.

"...It seems that my father is really old!"

"When he met Li Chenan at the Xijian Tower, he didn't know what kind of ecstasy drug he had been given by Li Chenan!"

Wu Qian had his hands behind his back, his eyes flashing with cold light.

He turned around slowly, glanced at Huo Yizhen who was standing on one side, and walked towards Bogujia on the side.

"Alliance with Ningguo..."

"The powerful Wu State has actually fallen into an alliance with Ning State!"

"The majestic Emperor of Wu actually went to Xijian Tower in person and waited for Li Chenan in Xijian Tower for two days and two nights!"

He suddenly laughed, "Just to form an alliance?!"

He picked up an exquisite blue and white porcelain vase from the ancient shelf and played with it carefully for ten breaths.

"Mr. Huo,"

Huo Yizhen bowed and said, "I'm here!"

"Tell me...why did my father choose to form an alliance with Ningguo?"

Huo Yizhen pondered for three breaths and replied: "I thought it was because Li Chenan came out of the Forgettable Tower."

Wu Qian raised his eyebrows, "Is it because of this?"

"But I heard that although Li Chenan had mastered the Fu Er Zhou Tian Jue, he lost all his skills when he was treating Zhong Li Ruoshui."

"He is no longer a great master!"

"He is just a powerless scholar!" "Even if he returns to Ning Guo and takes over the power of Ning Guo again...where can he take Ning Guo?"

"Father, why do you need to worry about this!"

"Wouldn't it be better to kill?!"

Huo Yizhen pondered for another three breaths and whispered: "I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not!"

Wu Qian placed the porcelain vase on the ancient shelf and took out an exquisite teapot.

"It's just you and me here, what can't we say?"

"Then... I'll risk my life and say something!"

Wu Qian raised his eyes and looked at Huo Yizhen. Huo Yizhen bowed again and said slowly:

"I think that the alliance between the two countries is just a show, a sleight of hand by the emperor to attract the attention of everyone in Wu!"

Wu Qian frowned, "How do you say this?"

"Your Highness, after the edict of the alliance between the two countries spreads, the ministers in the DPRK will no longer discuss the matter of Ning's army entering the territory of Wu..."

"Your Highness should know that just a few days ago, the civil and military ministers of the court were writing to the emperor, asking the emperor to send troops to attack the invading Ningguo army."

"Your Majesty chose not to make a move."

"In addition, the Shenying Army has been stationed in the Siliangshi Camp, which is only more than thirty miles away from Kyoto... The emperor did not guard against the Ningguo army, but the minister thought that the emperor was guarding against Dongxu City. Something.”

Wu Qian frowned even more tightly, "Continue talking."

"The East Palace should have established a crown princess a long time ago, but...the emperor seems to have forgotten this matter."

"Gou Zhong's daughter Gou Yunniang did not become the crown princess. Although General Gou Zhong is a military general, in my opinion, General Gou has an extremely delicate mind."

"What I mean is... Although the emperor has no explicit decree, he already understands the emperor's intention."

"He is still the Emperor's eagle, and has not become His Highness's support!"

Wu Qian's heart skipped a beat. These days, he spent most of his time in the East Palace, and only knew about government affairs through some close ministers.

But these so-called confidants could not enter the imperial study room, so they did not know how many important decisions the father had made in these days.

It’s been a long time since Mo Wangchen from the Jishu Room came to the East Palace to sit for a while...

"Your Highness, there was no need for the Emperor to go to Xijian Tower to meet Li Chenan for a while, but the Emperor did so."

"In my opinion, the reason is that the Wu State has not yet produced fireworks. Although the Ning State is weak, it has the magic weapon of fireworks. If the Wu State takes a step back, it can avoid starting a war with the Ning State. Secondly..."

"The emperor's focus seems to be on that chair in the temple!"

Wu Qian looked at Huo Yizhen again, his eyes tightened, and of course he understood the meaning of Huo Yizhen's words——

Father, this is to ensure the inheritance of the Wu Kingdom’s throne!
He transferred the Divine Eagle Army, which was originally chasing the Divine Guards, back to Kyoto. This was to prevent chaos in Kyoto!
Where did this chaos start?
Originally, what I thought was to prepare for the change of feudal lord!
But now after listening to Huo Yizhen's words, it seems that he was wrong!

My father did not issue a decree to confer the title of Crown Princess!
My father strictly ordered the court not to discuss the reduction of the vassal state again!

The father even forgave Qiu Chen and accepted the matter between his sister-in-law and Qiu Chen. This was how he gained the friendship of Tianyin Pavilion.

My father clearly knew that he hated Li Chenan deeply, but he went to meet Li Chenan!
If his father still passes the throne to him, then he will definitely understand that the covenant is just a piece of waste paper!
After he signed the covenant with Li Chenan, he certainly didn't want it to be a piece of waste paper.

That would be detrimental to me!

Wu Qian did not throw the teapot in his hand to the ground out of anger, but gently placed it on the shelf.

"So sir, do you think I still have a chance to sit on that chair?"

Huo Yizhen lowered his head. It was so quiet here that the atmosphere became very solemn.

He finally said:
"This...it depends on who strikes faster!"

Wu Qian's heart trembled and he asked again:
"Who is competing with me?"

Huo Yizhen bowed, "It doesn't matter who grabs it."

"What matters is who can grab it!"

Wu Qian came to the window again with his hands behind his back, and looked up at the starless night sky.

His eyes slowly narrowed:
"This palace knows."

"Screw ink!"

"When I write a letter, you...must send this letter to Siliangshi Camp on a starry night and hand it over to Gou Zhong in person!"

"Also...let Xiao Guizi call Yan'er!" (End of Chapter)
