Chapter 211: A Big Pie(1/2)
Cheng Jingting, Duke of Cheng Guo, looked at Li Chenan while holding a tea cup.
Li Chenan suddenly widened his eyes——
For the sake of Ning Guo, the dignified Duke asked himself to stay in Kyoto?
Is the old man drunk?
I am a nobody in Guangling City. Does this mean that I am asked to save Ningguo?
He couldn't help but grin. He didn't have such a lofty ideal at all, and he didn't think he had the ability to save Ning Guo. He still just wanted to live a relaxed and happy life with Zhongli Ruoshui.
In fact, at this moment, Li Chenan had no idea that his reputation was already at its peak in Yujing City.
He has become an idol in the hearts of countless students in Kyoto.
He has even become the focus of all forces.
It's just that the forces at this moment are just watching and waiting for the results of the Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Conference.
This result refers to whether he, Li Chenan, can make another surprise and win the first place, and the other is whether he can survive the Mid-Autumn Festival night!
"Grandpa Cheng, I am a person... I really don't have any other advantages, but I still have this one!"
"I am very self-aware and I know exactly how much I weigh!"
"If you ask me to write poems and articles, or come up with some ideas to start a small business to earn some money, I can really do these things, but...saving the country is an unreasonable thing for you to ask me!"
Cheng Jingting was not surprised by Li Chenan's rejection.
After all, in his opinion, Li Chenan spent the past seventeen years in Guangling City, and he had a reputation as a fool in Guangling City before that.
But it was this fool's name that made Cheng Jingting feel that this guy was unpredictable and profound.
Because being able to endure it for seventeen years is not something ordinary people can do!
This shows that this boy is very patient and the city is deep enough!
Such people usually think carefully and live longer.
He withdrew his gaze, took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup, looked up at Li Chenan again, and said:
"Do you know why I'm telling you this?"
Li Chenan shook his head.
"Because Hua Manting and Shang Di both came to the house and talked about you to me before!"
"They speak highly of you!"
"They even think you can be compared with the former Prime Minister Shang!"
"This is what Hua Manting said. He said that you are not only good at poetry and writing, but more importantly, your brain!"
"You are not a reckless man. You understand the general situation and know how to make plans before taking action!"
Cheng Zhe swallowed and turned to look at Li Chenan. In any case, he didn't see the slightest bit of Prime Minister Shang's grace in Li Chenan.
It's not that he's too young, but... this kid has a look of surprise on his face.
This loses the calm and calm atmosphere, and instead of showing wisdom, it shows superficiality.
"Of course, just what they said cannot impress me. I also know that their purpose is to keep you safe in Kyoto."
"I really think you have this ability because of what another person said!"
Li Chenan was inexplicably surprised that there were still people in this world who thought so highly of him!
"who?"
"Warm boiling rain!"
As soon as the name came out, both Li Chenan and Chen Zhe opened their mouths in disbelief.
Li Chenan was shocked because he had only heard of the name Wen Boyu, but the two had never met. He shouldn't know him at all. Why did he recommend him to Cheng Guogong?
Chen Zhe was shocked because Wen Boyu had been missing for many years, but he suddenly appeared and met his grandfather.
"He said, you are an outsider!"
"He said that the current Ningguo court is almost controlled by Xi Wei through Jitai."
"Even if the Duke of Yan controls the Red Flame Army, this is still part of Xi Wei's plan, because when the emperor ordered to kill Lu Zhanxiao's entire family, there was a reason why Duke Yan added fuel to the flames..."
"You can understand that that case was planned by Xi Wei, and then he instigated the Duke of Yan's government to jointly contribute to the tragedy of getting on the bus and waiting for everyone to be killed!"
"This is one of the reasons why Yan Jidao no longer stays at home and travels around the world!"
"Yan Jidao and Lu Zhanxiao, they used to be very good friends!"
"Four of the five major princely offices in the Ning Kingdom currently exist. We, the Duke of Cheng, the Duke of Qi, and the Duke of Dingguo are all in conflict with each other. They are regarded as one party, called the royalist party... The prince is orthodox. On the surface, we remain neutral, but in fact
It is to protect the prince, so that he can successfully ascend the throne as emperor, and so that the Ning Kingdom can continue its three hundred years of rule smoothly!"
"But the Duke of Yan's Palace, the Duke of Luo's Palace, and the Prime Minister's Palace are all from the same faction. Their common goal is to elect the second prince, who is now Prince De, Ning Zhixing, to inherit the throne."
"The comparison of strength between the two sides... In fact, they are better, especially since there is Xi Wei who is plotting for this... What he is plotting is wolfish ambition, and he is seeking revenge for the destruction of the country!"
"If we both fight over this, Ning Country will be in chaos!"
"Ningguo is surrounded by enemies on all sides, so there must be no chaos. What should we do?"
"What Wen Boyu means is that... this requires an outside force to intervene to contain and balance the forces between us, until the emperor can wake up and understand the current situation, and be able to bring order to the chaos... and wipe out the Ji Tai Party in one fell swoop."
Li Chenan was stunned.
This is a fight between gods, what does it have to do with a mortal like me?
If I jumped into it rashly, wouldn’t I become cannon fodder?
"Why me?"
Cheng Guogong leaned over, his face was serious and extremely serious:
"Because you are Li Chunfu's grandson!"
"Li Chunfu was a Taiwei when he was an official. He left behind many connections, including his former disciples and the descendants of his colleagues... If you are an official, these connections should be used by you!"
"All the forces in the DPRK and the Central Government have surrendered to Ji Tai, but you won't because Ji Tai wants your life!"
"If you stand in the middle of the court and confront Ji Tai, many of those who are kneeling will stand up and stand behind you!"
"Of course, this is also because behind you are the Dingguo Houfu, the Chengguo Dukefu, and the Qiguo Dukefu!"
"I will recommend you to join the court as an official...but the court currently lacks an admonishment official. In the fifth rank, although the official is not very big, he can be included in the court, and his advice can go straight to heaven!"
"Then, we will all help you until...Jitai's lineage is uprooted!"
"As long as you nod, you will not be in any danger at the Mid-Autumn Festival. From now on, all our resources will be at your disposal!"
"how?"
This is a huge piece of cake!
In the old man's sincere words, expectant eyes were drawn in front of Li Chenan.
Nod your head and reach the sky in one step.
And they also formed alliances with high-ranking officials such as Dingguo Houfu, Chengguo Dukefu and Qi Guogongfu.
It would be difficult for any young man to refuse.
But it just so happened that he was Li Chenan.
First of all, he has no intention of saving this country at all, because whether this country exists or not has nothing to do with him.
Secondly, what the Duke of Yan expected was to maintain the current relatively balanced status quo and wait for the mediocre emperor to wake up spontaneously one day... This seemed to Li Chenan to be a typical idealism.
In this world, I am the only one who has turned from a fool into a genius!
Unless the emperor is also possessed by someone from time travel.
Idealism can kill people.
Li Chenan didn't want to die, he still wanted to spend this life with Zhongli Ruoshui.
Besides, confronting that old guy Jitai in the court... Let’s not talk about whether the old descendants of grandpa’s former disciples are so courageous, just the huge network that Jitai has woven in the court for so many years.
, is it so easy to be torn?
This is not a dead or die situation.
It’s the ending of his own death without a burial place!
"The matter is serious, I need to think about it again."
"Okay, I'm waiting for your news."
Li Chenan left Cheng Guogong's mansion. Of course he didn't think about it, but wanted to escape from Kyoto!
The water in Kyoto is too deep.
Even if I want to do something, I still need to wait for another two or three years!
After Li Chenan left Cheng Guogong's mansion, another person walked into Cheng Jingting's study.
To be continued...
