After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

The light grew dimmer.

Li Chenan lit a lamp and brewed a pot of tea.

There was a piece of paper on the tea table, and on the paper were two poems he had just written.

Zeng Pengcheng looked at these two poems and felt very excited.

He naturally ignored this ugly calligraphy. After all, it was not the regent's own handwriting, so it didn't matter if it was ugly.

After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Li Chenan, who was sitting opposite him, "Master Xiao Li, the regent is indeed a genius!"

"Not only in this poem, but also in his heart!"

"I had a deep misunderstanding of him. After seeing these two poems, I realized that underneath the cynical appearance of the Prince Regent, he actually hid a real concern for the country and the people!"

"I have lived for more than 60 years, which is too shallow...compared with such a young regent, I have lived as long as a dog!"

"He likes to eat dog meat!"

"Actually, this is just because dog meat is cheap and doesn't cost money!"

"Although I have never eaten dog meat, I guess the taste is not much better than pork."

“Beef and mutton are the best meat!”

"But the regent is reluctant to eat it... He is the regent of Ningguo!"

"After he returns to Kyoto, he will be the emperor of our Ning Kingdom!"

"The king of a country abandons cattle and sheep and is happy with dogs...that is not called joy, but that means he has the people in his heart. He does not want to enjoy the privileges of the king alone. He stands with the people!"

"He eats dog meat because of the suffering of the people!"

Li Chenan was shocked!

I thought to myself, that boy Wang Zhenghaoxuan doesn't seem to be like this. He really loves dog meat!

In front of Li Chenan's shocked gaze, Master Zeng sighed leisurely:
"No wonder he caught all the dogs in Youzhou City. Those dogs are really annoying in the city. Although this move was misunderstood by the neighbors... Didn't I misunderstand him before?"

"Only now do I understand that the regent is just trying to save money!"

"When the rain stops, I will take to the streets to tell the neighbors that they must know these two poems written by the Prince Regent, and that they have always been in the Prince Regent's heart!"

"They must eliminate their misunderstanding about the regent! They must know that the regent ate their dog... they are lucky!"

"Otherwise...the regent will lead their cattle!"

Master Zeng stroked his long beard, picked up the piece of paper and held it in front of his eyes, read it carefully again, and said with great emotion:
"Master Xiao Li, I'm afraid you don't know that poetry and articles come from the heart!"

"This "Part One of Compassion for the Farmers"..."

“Sow a grain of millet in spring and harvest ten thousand grains in autumn.

There is no idle land in the world, and the peasants still starve to death. "

""Compassion for the Peasants Part [-]"..."

"At noon on the day of hoeing, the sweat drips down to the soil.

Who knows dishes on the menu, A Journey. "

"Master Xiao Li, the two poems written by the Prince Regent do not have gorgeous words or far-reaching artistic conception, but the Prince Regent uses this simple and unpretentious language to clearly explain the suffering of farmers..."

"The Prince Regent knows the suffering of the people and the source of this suffering, so he also calls on the people to save food and cherish this hard-won food!"

"Since he knows how difficult it is for the people, he already has a plan to deal with it based on his wisdom..."

Master Zeng put down the paper in his hand and looked at Li Chenan. At this moment, his old eyes shone even brighter:

"I also know how difficult it is to change the situation of farmers!"

"Over the years, I have often been thinking about how to increase food production in Youzhou Academy? How to free farmers from being exploited by landlords."

“What should the country do for farmers?”

"How can we allow tens of millions of farmers to farm with peace of mind and keep their warehouses full of food?"

"Let there be no look of sorrow on their faces, no worries about tomorrow!"

"However... I have thought about it a lot, and there is nothing I can do except reduce taxes."

"But I think the regent has already made a plan in his mind. The people of Ningguo will usher in the best time. I am very much looking forward to it!"

With a smile on his face, Li Chenan picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Old Master, the regent hopes that you can go to Kyoto. He hopes that you can live for a few more years. He just hopes that you can see the changes in the future. Don't let it down. Such good intentions on his part!”

Old Master Zeng was shaken in his heart!

He wants to live!
I want to live a few more years!

Go and witness the great regent leading Ning Guo to take off!

"The old man understands!"

"I have decided to agree to the regent's trip to Kyoto!"

"I must live well to witness the regent's ascension to the throne, and to witness Ning Guo moving to glory under his leadership!" Old Master Zeng stood up, feeling refreshed.

"Master Xiao Li, I will take my leave first."

Li Chenan was startled: "It's raining heavily outside, where is the old gentleman going?"

"Go back to the academy... It's not that there's anything to deal with, but I still have a bookboy..."

Before Old Master Zeng finished speaking, a voice came from outside the door:

"grandfather……!"

Old Master Zeng was startled and saw Xiao Zeng running in quickly.

Drenched all over.

His face was as pale as paper!

"How did you come?"

Xiao Zeng burst into tears with a cry of "Wow!"

At this time, Wang Zhenghaoxuan, Amu and others also walked in.

"Grandpa, he's dead..."

"Grandpa is not dead. He is doing well. The regent is very kind to grandpa!"

"No, no, so many people died in our yard!"

Master Zeng's eyes suddenly widened, and he held Xiao Zeng's shoulders nervously: "What's going on? Please tell grandpa slowly!"

Xiao Zeng was telling Old Master Zeng about the battle in the yard.

Li Chenan, Amu and others came to the corridor.

Amu took out the parchment from his arms and briefly talked about the battle.

"The old man asked me to give this to you."

"Besides, he said there was an ambush in Luofengpo!"

"He also told you to be careful of the Daqi Gang."

Li Chenan took the parchment and unfolded it, his eyes suddenly lit up.

After a while, he put the parchment into his sleeve pocket, thought about it, and looked at Wang Zhenghaoxuan:
"With so many people killed by the soldiers, Tian Xiurong must have known about it, and he could even easily guess that it was us."

"It's getting late, you go see Tian Xiurong as the regent again!"

Wang Zhenghaoxuan was stunned: "That Tian Xiurong... is a bad person!"

"What about the bad guys?"

"Now this bad guy is of great use!"

"Building the Ningzhi Road is a big deal, and implementing the new tax law in Youzhou is also a big deal!"

"The imperial court has no money. To accomplish these two important things, we really need this bad guy to do it!"

"So in order to prevent Tian Xiurong from jumping over the wall, you need to comfort him."

Wang Zhenghaoxuan was stunned for a moment: "But he knows that we already know that he is a bad person!"

"Then let's talk openly... bad people can also become good people!"

Li Chenan patted Wang Zhenghaoxuan on the shoulder: "In short, we can't let him abandon his burden and run away now."

"As for what method you use, you are the regent and you have to make your own decision!"

Wang Zhenghaoxuan's eyes widened immediately. After a moment, he swallowed: "Then...should I invite him to a brothel or should I invite him to eat dog meat?"

Li Chenan raised his eyebrows: "It's up to you. Anyway, let him have hope of living, and let him have the determination to risk his life to do these two things for you!"

Wang Zhenghaoxuan pondered for three breaths, "Okay, let's go now!"

The four of them left the Yuelai Inn and rode two carriages in the rain to the Youzhou government office.

now,

Tian Xiurong, who was in the backyard of Youzhou Mansion Office, was walking around anxiously in his study!

Master Wen looked pale, because the city defense of Youzhou City was controlled by an army called Ning Wuzu.

Tian Xiugui and six hundred soldiers tried to break through, but they were killed alive by the army and no one was left alive!

Even General Tian was beheaded by a female swordsman on the spot!

The Regent...he closed the door so quickly!

Then of course the next step is to beat the dog!

What should I do? (End of chapter)
