After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Responsible for guarding the palace are the northern and southern yamen of the Imperial Guard.

Now Cheng Zhe, who has been promoted to the commander-in-chief of the North and South yamen, stands majestically on the palace wall in military uniform. He holds the hilt of the sword in one hand and puts the other behind his back. His eyes scan the crowd with great caution.

For Ning Guo, this is an extremely important day.

Three days ago, grandpa called him back to Duke Cheng's mansion and repeatedly warned him not to make any mistakes.

In fact, after Li Chen'an returned to Kyoto, Jingzhao Mansion, Imperial City Department, City Defense Department, and the North and South Yamen had made careful arrangements.

Although the four gates of Kyoto are still open day and night.

People entering and leaving the city gate did not check carefully.

But the officials in these yamen were all alert and paying attention to every suspicious face.

The spies of the Imperial City Department were all out on official duties, but the three thousand Yufeng Guards led by Chang Sun Hongyi were scattered at the most important intersections in Kyoto.

Cheng Zhe turned his head and looked aside. Changsun Hongyi, dressed in red, was also on the city wall at the moment.

The wind blew her hair and the cloak she was wearing.

The winter sunshine shone on her body. Perhaps because of her red clothes, this originally not very warm sunshine made Cheng Zhe's eyes feel a little warmer.

Cheng Zhe's heartstrings suddenly moved, and a smile appeared on his originally serious face.

He withdrew his gaze and looked back.

The palace has become extremely quiet.

The officials in the yamen who were in charge of everything in Ningguo probably had no intention of attending to official duties at this time.

This is an unprecedented enthronement ceremony——

To say it is unprecedented is because it is too simple!
It does not follow the rituals that were used when emperors ascended the throne in history, such as offering sacrifices to heaven, offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple, etc.

This is not surprising.

Because there is no official news to officially confirm Li Chenan’s true identity.

His surname is still Li!
I didn’t change my surname to Qiao, let alone Ning.

But this is Ningguo!
The emperor of Ning State was not named Ning, which actually meant that he was not in the right position.

If it had happened in the past, many ministers would have stood up to oppose him, but when he ascended the throne, no one made a sound.

It’s not that he used any means to suppress it.

But when Ji Tai came to power, Ning Guo had been suffering for a long time.

Also when Jitai fell, all the officials of Jitai's line in the imperial court were purged.

Almost all the people in the court now are the disciples of his grandfather Li Wenfu. In fact, these people are also his people!

Even the princes of the five major kingdoms had already surrendered to him when he became the regent.

So, just like Grandpa said, it is no longer important who his true identity is.

The important thing is... he is the emperor of Ning!

I think of March 3rd in the 23rd year of Zhaohua.

He and Qi Zhixue went to Guangling City to participate in Zhongli Ruoshui's poetry meeting to select his son-in-law based on his writing.

Cheng Zhe suddenly laughed.

That fool who was talked about by everyone, more than two years later, he has become the emperor of Ning Kingdom!
He thought of the song "Die Lian Hua" and the song "About Wine".

Reminds me of the tavern under the big banyan tree in Erjinggou Alley.

Reminds me of the events in Kyoto.

I remembered Changsun Jinghong who liked to lie under the crooked neck tree in the Imperial City Division.

I also thought of the Shang Di who composed music and played the piano in the old Yulou.

Of course, there is also the all-powerful Jitai.

The only thing he didn't think of was the Zhaohua Emperor who spent huge sums of money to build Changle Palace!
Many people have forgotten the Zhaohua Emperor who reigned for twenty-three years, but not only did he achieve nothing, but he allowed the traitorous prime minister Jitai to cause chaos in the court and made the people of Ning miserable.

That's a nightmare!

It’s a past that is unbearable to look back on. People don't want to recall the pain. What people look forward to is a happy future.

Therefore, Emperor Zhaohua died in a daze and was buried in a daze, and no one tried to find out the truth.

Just based on a rumor——

Killed by lightning!

Two years ago, also in the winter, he was struck to death by lightning!
In fact, how he died was not important to the people. What was important was that only after he died did he have a regent, Li Chenan!
Cheng Zhe looked at the distance of the stern palace again.

He was looking in the direction of the East Palace.

In the past, there lived a fat man in the East Palace.

Cheng Zhe was quite familiar with His Highness the Crown Prince, because His Highness the Crown Prince was harmless and approachable, and the two of them actually had a pretty good personal relationship.

If Cheng Zhe were to play the judge, he would probably not check Ning Zhiyi's name in the book of life and death.

He least deserves to die, but he deserves to die the most!

This is a contradiction.

He least deserves to die because he has never done anything bad in his many years as prince.

He is even very dedicated!
Even if Ji Tai takes control of the court, he is still learning about what happened in Ningguo through various methods.

When Li Chenan was still the fool in Guangling City, his grandfather was actually very optimistic about the Crown Prince.

Only then did he join forces with the Dingguo Hou Mansion to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the prince.

But he deserves to die the most.

Because a Li Chenan appeared out of thin air!

Cheng Zhe didn't know the real reason why Li Chenan suddenly became the regent, but as the eldest grandson of Duke Cheng, he knew that there must be a secret behind it that he didn't know.

He couldn't ask.

But if Li Chenan wants to be the emperor, Ning Guo cannot have that prince.

The fat man died, and the royal bloodline of the Ning Dynasty... I heard that it was not completely cut off, but grandpa said that the general trend was set. Under such a general trend, no one could go against the current, and no one could make a few more waves.

He turned and looked at the other side of the palace.

I still remember that place was Fengyi Palace in the harem, Queen Lu’s bedroom twenty years ago.

He saw the tall big-leaved banyan tree.

I went there when I was a child, and even climbed up the big-leaf banyan tree to catch cicadas.

But now, twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the large-leaf banyan tree that should have been lush and lush in winter has now become bare.

I haven't been to that palace for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the big-leaved banyan tree had withered.

Fengyi Palace is the residence of queens of all dynasties.

After Li Chenan ascends the throne, who will live in Fengyi Palace?
Since the big-leafed banyan tree was withered and ready to be dug up, the new owner probably wouldn't like having a dead tree in the yard.

The same goes for the sycamore tree.

If Zhongli Ruoshui lives in it...

Cheng Zhe smiled again, wondering if she would plant peach blossoms in the palace?
Qi Zhixue said that the emperor boy was Zhongli Ruoshui's true son!

If it weren't for that boy, Zhongli Ruoshui would have disappeared, how could he be the great master he is today!

Therefore, March 3 of that year was the beginning of a change in the fate of many people.

Not only the fate of people, but also the fate of this country!

Even the fate of the entire world!
Cheng Zhe looked outside the palace wall again.

The morning sun breaks through the mist.

The golden sunlight shines on those ancient roofs, so those roofs seem to be coated with a layer of golden light.

The sun shines on the faces of the people, and when the haze on their faces disappears, there is new hope! (End of chapter)
