That night, a poem was born that shocked the entire Ning Kingdom and even the entire world.
That night, the court was full of flowers, Liu Zhuo and Su Muxin were drunk.
Li Chenan is still not drunk.
The next morning, he still got up early, still ran in the morning, and still exercised outside Yanyu Pavilion.
The morning at Huaping Lake is still so beautiful, but the delphinium that used to like to rest on the willow tree has gone somewhere, and the painting boat at the pier has also disappeared.
Li Chenan returned home when he was two strokes ahead.
Hua Manting only woke up when the sun was about three o'clock in the morning.
After washing up, he came to Zuixin Pavilion.
Liu Zuo was already sitting here, making a pot of tea.
"Teacher please!"
"Um."
Hua Manting sat down, Liu Zuo poured two cups of tea, handed one over respectfully, and said in a low voice: "After listening to the teacher's words yesterday, the disciple has some questions in his mind, and I would like to ask the teacher to clarify his doubts."
Hua Manting took the tea cup and asked: "At the beginning of last night, you probably didn't like that guy Li Chen'an. What do you think of the song "About to Enter the Wine" he composed later?"
"To be honest with you, teacher, the name Li Chenan doesn't sound very good in Guangling City... The disciple really didn't quite understand the teacher's good intentions at first."
"That poem is excellent. The lyrics come from the heart. That boy is really a heroic man. The fact that he has been dormant for more than ten years shows that he is strong-willed. If there is a chance one day, he may be able to soar into the sky."
"It's just... I still don't understand why he hid his stupidity for more than ten years. I thought about it last night. Could it be that the two houses of the Li family in Yujing City were in the wrong position in the dispute between the crown prince and the second prince?"
"He was afraid that he would be implicated, so he pretended to be a fool?"
"This... Regardless of whether he has such foresight or not, no one dares to make a conclusion on the final outcome between the crown prince and the second prince. His move does not make sense, and his father Li Wenhan does not have the ability to predict."
Hua Manting took a sip of tea and waved her hands, "I can't understand his change as a teacher, but it's not important. As for the other two families of the Li family siding with each other and his forbearance over the years... you are thinking a little bit. too much."
He put down the tea cup and looked at Liu Zuo, "You may think that I want you to take care of him. Of course, I also have this intention, but my deeper meaning is... If one day something unexpected happens, In a good situation, he might be able to take care of you!"
Liu Zuo was shocked, thinking that as a commoner, if the water in Kyoto really rose and Guangling Prefecture was really flooded, how could he help me?
Why can he help me?
It was not surprising that Liu Zuo was surprised, and she didn't even bother to explain.
He looked at the blue sky, pondered for a moment and said slowly:
"As a teacher, I have done a lot less research on literature in the past few years. It's not because of lack of energy, but... my disciples have too many old friends, so that they spend all their energy on interpersonal relationships, but forget their original intentions in the past and live a poor life. It’s not as pure as it used to be.”
"I feel a little tired these days, but I don't know where this tiredness comes from, until I heard his song "Green Myolie" in the Yanyu Pavilion at Huaping Lake the day before yesterday."
"This little brother has sounded a wake-up call to my teacher, and also made me understand a truth."
"Whether it's with flowers or without flowers, the choice is spring or autumn."
"I fell into the cliché and chose the Spring and Autumn Period for my master... The struggle in the temple became increasingly complicated. I didn't know what was right or wrong when I chose for my master, but if I chose for my master, it was already wrong!"
Liu Zuo looked at Hua Manting in astonishment, and his heart skipped a beat.
"It's like looking at Huaping Lake in the Yanyu Pavilion. Standing in the pavilion, you can have a panoramic view of all the beautiful scenery of Huaping Lake, and you have a clear understanding of the spring of Huaping Lake. But if you are in the lake... you can only see what is in front of you. There is more than ten feet of water, but I don’t know the spring, summer, autumn and winter.”
"The fault of being a teacher is that you are in the lake."
"You are also in the lake."
"But there is a person in Kyoto on the shore."
"who?"
"Dingguo waits for Zhongli Po!"
Liu Zuo opened his mouth, "Didn't you hear that Marquis Dingguo was standing behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? This time in the defeat of Mobei, the Crown Prince wanted to lead the army to fight in person. I heard that Marquis Dingguo wanted to hand over his invincible Shenwu Army. To His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Hua Manting smiled slightly and waved his hand, "Marquis Dingguo really wants to hand over the Shenwu Army to His Highness the Crown Prince, but for the sake of the country, not for taking sides!"
"...Then, even if you are asking for help, you should still ask for Dingguohou. Based on the friendship between the teacher and Dingguohou, is it the best choice for students to go to Kyoto with the teacher to visit Dingguohou? "
"That will make you look good, and the old fox at Dingguohou may not see you. Besides, his wife Fan Taohua is the most powerful person in Zhongli Mansion."
"What Fan Taohua loves most is her granddaughter Zhongli Ruoshui."
"And at least from the current point of view, Zhongli Ruoshui has a great interest in Li Chenan."
Liu Zuo was surprised again, and then he understood the deep meaning of the teacher's move.
The party struggle between North Korea and China has become increasingly serious due to the emperor's health problems. Although it has not yet come to a head, the undercurrent has become increasingly intense.
His Royal Highness the Prince was born to the Queen, but the Queen died of illness four months after giving birth to the fourth princess, Ning Chuchu.
If the Empress is still here, then the Prince's position in the East Palace will be as stable as Mount Tai.
But the Queen is gone.
Although the emperor did not canonize another queen, the most respected person in the imperial concubine fell on Concubine Ji.
The second prince is the son of Concubine Ji.
The current prime minister of Ningguo, Ji Tai, is the father of Concubine Ji.
According to the Ningguo etiquette, His Royal Highness is of course the orthodox one.
However, everyone wants to be the emperor, but only one person can sit in that position. Teacher Hua Manting, as a representative of etiquette, naturally stands on the side of His Royal Highness.
So as a disciple of Hua Manting, he naturally becomes a member of the prince's line.
Originally, the teacher firmly believed that the prince would definitely ascend the throne after a hundred years, but now it seems that the situation does not look good.
Zhongli Mansion has an extremely high status in Ning State, mainly in charge of half of the military power, so the attitude of Zhongli Mansion will naturally have a great influence on the new emperor.
Zhongli Mansion did not choose its position, so it became a transcendent existence in Ningguo.
No wonder Zhongli Ruoshui held a ceremony in Guangling City to recruit a son-in-law through literature, and even people from the Qi family in Kyoto came.
It's just that this kid Li Chenan took the road of great luck and fell into Zhongli Ruoshui's eyes.
The teacher is preparing himself for a rainy day.
If things change in Kyoto one day, maybe he can seek the protection of Zhongli Mansion through Li Chenan's relationship.
Liu Zuo stood up and bowed: "Student, thank you teacher for your advice!"
"Don't be too deliberate. After all, the outcome in Beijing is still unknown. After all, the emperor's body is still strong."
"Of course, it is unknown whether Li Chenan will eventually become the uncle of Zhongli Mansion, but as a teacher, I think that because of his knowledge and open-minded attitude, he is worth getting along with."
"Students know."
"I will return to Beijing in a few days, and these poems of his should be publicized in Kyoto."
"Your junior brother Su Muxin is planning to let him go to Li Chenan's side to learn more about human nature."
