Yujing City, the capital of Ningguo.

too college.

The moon is in the sky and there is a cool breeze.

A lantern was still lit in the small courtyard behind Taiyue College.

Hua Manting was sitting at the small table in the yard. On the table was a tea stove with a slight fire and tea smoke rising from the teapot on the stove.

He picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea and handed one over.

Sitting opposite him was Fan Taohua, who was looking up at the moon.

"After so many twists and turns, the curtain call finally came."

Fan Taohua withdrew her gaze, took a cup of tea, took a sip, and said:

"Success or failure?"

"Now that I think about it, I can't explain it clearly."

"In order to speed up the demise of Ning State, Xi Wei forcefully supported Jitai. His goal has been achieved..."

"The nearly 20 years that Ji Tai has been in charge of Ningguo have indeed been as Xi Wei wished. Ningguo has become the most decadent and unbearable, and the darkest 20 years have been full of complaints from the people."

"So, the roots of this big tree in Ningguo are completely rotten."

"But after Xi Wei's death, you, me, Empress Lu, Changsun Jinghong, and even all Xi Wei's followers spent so many years, but they couldn't find anyone who matched Xi Wei's ideals and could live in Ningguo. The successor to rewrite a wonderful chapter in this land."

"At that time, I felt that Xi Wei's ideal was the flower in the mirror and the moon in the water."

"Until Li Chenan suddenly rose up in Guangling City."

"Until Lu Xiaoyu arrives at Guangling City."

"Until we spend three days and three nights making tea and discussing strategies on the boat in Huaping Lake!"

"Li Chenan lives up to expectations, not only because of his literary talent, but also because his thoughts have many resonances with Xi Wei..."

"Even looking back, his thoughts are even worse than Xi Wei!"

Fan Taohua took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup, and said slowly:
"Whether it's the inscription on the stone tablet in front of the archway of Taiyuan University, or his conversations with you or Wu Xichen and others, it all shows that he has a broad mind and foresight!"

"This is the best successor to Ningguo!"

"I even thought that this was Xi Wei's spirit in the sky, protecting Ning Guo's last candle."

"Everything is like a chess game being replayed, and there are not many deviations in each step..."

"If you want to talk about deviations, it is roughly that the death of Emperor Zhaohua was not part of the chess game, and the deaths of Shang Di and Changsun Jinghong were not part of the plan..."

"The other thing is that the chaos in Wu State caused the Great Wilderness State to start a war against Wu State, which gave Ning State an opportunity to develop... I am afraid that this strategy will also end due to Chen'an's alliance between the two countries!"

"Of course, the biggest failure is that Ruoshui should have gone to the Yinmen, should have become the saint of the Yinmen, should have found the hiding place of the Yinmen, and even found the true power of the remnants of the Great Li..."

Fan Taohua raised her head again, looked at the half-curved moon in the night sky, and suddenly sighed:
"The garden is full of flowers, the garden is full of flowers, we were all wrong!"

Hua Manting looked up at Fan Taohua and grinned: "You are still the woman who pursues perfection!"

"Nothing in the world is perfect, let alone the strategies we have set."

"People and chess pieces are different after all."

"The chess piece has no mind of its own. It can only move step by step under the hands of people according to their intentions."

"But people have their own ideas!"

"Especially someone like Chen'an who has a strong and independent mind!"

"Those chess games before this, such as letting his poems be praised in the world and becoming a poetry immortal."

"For example, let him overthrow Ji Tai and establish his tall image in the hearts of the people in Ningguo, etc."

"These things may be important to you and me, but to him..."

Hua Manting picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and raised her eyebrows, "Maybe in his eyes, these things are nothing at all!"

"So the first half of this chess game is dominated by us, and he is passive...or in other words, he goes with the flow!"

"He may even have the mentality of a bystander, watching silently while following our plan."

"He has no intention of becoming emperor!"

"That's why I considered myself the regent, traveled far away to Shuzhou, and took Zhongli Ruoshui to the Xijian Tower of Wu Kingdom."

After a pause, Hua Manting slowly stood up, walked two steps in the yard, turned around, looked at Fan Taohua again, and said with a smile:

"I have this long-lasting friend. From the first moment I saw him in Guangling City, I felt that I couldn't see through it!"

Fan Taohua was startled, "What couldn't he see through at that time?" Hua Manting stroked his long beard, "There is no one in the world who is born knowing!"

"There are geniuses in the world who suddenly realize their martial arts skills and rise to the third level, but poetry and prose are different!"

"I have read thousands of history books. Those who are famous in history all have great wisdom, but there are those who have accumulated a lot of knowledge but have little success. But in the end, they fall under the word "accumulation"!

"When I was in Shuzhou, I had a long-night talk with Li Wenhan and his wife. Chen'an..."

"He really can't even memorize the Three-Character Sutra!"

Fan Taohua was immediately surprised and asked: "So...the rumors about Guangling City in the past are not false?"

Hua Manting nodded, "This is the biggest thing I can't see through him."

"The other thing is his eyes... Those eyes give me the feeling that he seems lazy and doesn't seem to care much about anything. It seems that everyone and everything around him are like floating clouds in his eyes. generally!"

"He just wants to make money!"

"I just want to make money and stay with Ruoshui forever in Guangling City!"

"Even if he arrived in Kyoto and became the regent of Ning State... Wen Boiyu's eyes could read countless people, but Wen Boiyu said that he couldn't understand Li Chenan either!"

"Li Chenan passively accepted the title of regent. He was extremely impressed by the national policies formulated by Ning Guo. Both Wen Boiyu and Nian Chengfeng were extremely impressed!"

"He is a really capable person, but he left Kyoto... In his heart, it is obvious that Zhongli Ruoshui is more important than the imperial power!"

"It's incomprehensible to ordinary people, and I'm deeply confused, but now it seems that this is his true transcendence!"

"You just said that we have gone through so much trouble and finally reached the end of the curtain..."

"I think this sentence is inappropriate."

"The troubles we went through still had some impact on him. At least he is willing to come back and become the emperor of Ningguo!"

"So this is not the end of the curtain, but the scene that belongs to him has just begun!"

"As for our failures, let them be as he said."

"We are all old, so we should stop making decisions for him without permission!"

“History is ultimately written by those who are young and strong, who are brave and resourceful, and who have outstanding foresight and the world in mind.”

Hua Manting also looked at the crescent moon in the night sky. There was three parts disappointment, three parts relief and four parts expectation on that old face.

When he listened to what Fan Taohua said about Li Chenan's words in the Forgettable Stage, he knew that an old era had passed and a new era was about to begin.

old.

It's time to be eliminated.

Then go and enjoy the rest of your life as an old man.

Since Li Chenan is willing to shoulder this burden of Ning Guo, then all Xi Wei should withdraw from the stage of history.

Conspiracy can only work in the dark.

Li Chenan will lead Ning Guo to walk under the light, so he will definitely use his wisdom to make Ning Guo strong.

As Li Chenan said, in the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks are worth mentioning!
So what kind of power will he let Ning Guo show?

Hua Manting doesn't know.

Fan Taohua didn't know either.

They could only watch quietly and let Li Chenan write the chapter of the future.

Fan Taohua seemed to have figured it out, and she suddenly smiled:
"Both Ruoshui and Xiao Baozi will marry Chen An."

"Ruoshui is my granddaughter, Xiao Baozi is your daughter..."

"After you get married, I will also be your elder!"

She stood up and couldn't help but spend a lot of time arguing in the court. She flew away:

"Whenever you meet me in the future, remember to treat me with the courtesy of a junior!"

Hua Manting’s eyes widened:

"You are too beautiful, but don't think too beautiful!"

"Hey, where are you going?"

Fan Taohua looked back under the crescent moon, "Kill someone!"

"Who are you going to kill again?"

"...Zhongli Po!" (End of Chapter)
