It coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival night.

It coincides with a grand Mid-Autumn Festival literary party.

But there is no moon today.

And rain!

But this did not stop the enthusiasm of those young people in Kyoto at all.

Of course, scholars and scholars wanted to see Li Chenan's style and see if the Ningguo youth headed by Li Chenan could defeat the well-prepared Yueguo youth.

The name Li Chenan is now well-known in Kyoto, but not many people have actually met Li Chenan.

It is said that he almost always stayed at Huaxi Villa and had never even been to Taiyuan University, let alone wandered around the streets and alleys of Kyoto.

Even if he occasionally travels, he is always in a carriage, and the person driving the car is still the former murderous general of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion!

Therefore, regarding Li Chenan and his affairs, we can only listen to the rumors among the people.

Things that are spread among the people are folk tales.

The story is true and false, and it also has a legendary color. Naturally, it cannot truly represent Li Chenan's appearance.

But tonight, in the literary world, you can see his true face, and you can know how high his talent and learning are——

He is only seventeen, but he is facing an outstanding disciple who was personally trained by Wei Xuanmo, a great Confucian from Yue who was nearly seventy years old!

I heard that the books he studied in Guangling City... didn't seem to be very good at reading. After all, he didn't even have the reputation of being a scholar.

I heard that he later gave up studying and opened a snack shop in an alley called Erjinggou, but it closed down again.

I heard that he was kicked out of the Guangling Li family.

But I heard that he opened a tavern in the alley of Erjinggou.

Then, when I met Mr. Hua Lao, I changed into a different person and wrote beautiful poems.

Those poems were spread in Kyoto, and were even included in the authoritative masterpiece "Ning's Poetry Collection"!

He was originally a nobody in Guangling City, but he happened to be favored by the third lady of Zhongli Mansion.

He should have lived in Guangling City all his life, but now he is in Kyoto.

He didn't have much in Kyoto, but he became the person the prime minister wanted to get rid of!

To be able to become the enemy of the powerful Prime Minister... This is even more unbelievable.

Because one is the sky and the other is a weed on the ground.

One is a big tree, and the other is... an earthworm!

The wild grass is far away from the sky.

Even the earthworms cannot shake the tree.

This is an incredible story.

Such stories usually happen in plays.

But now it has been staged in Kyoto!

For those scholars and scholars, they certainly hope that Li Chen'an, a weed, can pierce the sky, and they also hope that Li Chen'an, a groundfly, can shake the deep-rooted tree.

After all, Prime Minister Ji is evil in the hearts of the people!

This is the root of why Ning people are living in poverty today!

So this evening, there are already many students waiting in front of the archway of Huaxi Villa.

When An Zizai drove the carriage out of the archway, there were many young people following behind and to the left and right of the carriage!

Some people were holding umbrellas, while others were just soaking wet with their bare heads.

Their enthusiasm was still high, not affected by the cool autumn rain at all.

An Zizi did not drive these teenagers away, so the carriage moved forward very slowly.

Many voices came to his ears:

"Do you think it is Li Chenan who is sitting in this carriage?"

"It must be so. The one driving the car is General An!"

"I heard that our Taiyuan College sent a total of sixteen people to participate in this literary meeting. After knowing the list, Prime Minister Ji summoned Mr. Qian Daru... It was Qian Changqing, one of the five judges of this literary meeting.

Sir."

"There are rumors in Taiyuan College that these sixteen students may not be able to write a poem at this literary conference!"

The teenagers who heard this were obviously taken aback. An Zi turned their heads forward and heard someone from the group of teenagers ask:

"Isn't this cheating?"

"Of course this is cheating!"

"Jitai is doing this... isn't it because he wants Li Chenan to die?"

"No, so, so I thought I should dissuade Li Chenan from attending the Nawen Conference!"

"Boss Qian and the Confucian Society were bribed by Ji Tai? Where is the moral integrity of the literati? Where is the moral integrity? Those sixteen students...will they be forced to shut up due to the power of others? Will they bow to power?"

"Ugh, if this is true, Ning Guo...I will go to the damn Ning Guo!"

"The most important thing now is to prevent Li Chenan from going to the literary world!"

"Yes, stop his carriage! I can't wait to see him die in vain!"

The crowd gathered around.

An Zizai stopped the carriage.

Then he opened the curtain, and the carriage was empty... That's not right. There were ten black artifacts placed under the seats of the carriage. Li Chenan was not in this carriage!

…

…

A carriage drove out of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

The driver is Xiao Wu!

There were two people sitting in the carriage.

One is Yin Xiangdong of Jingzhao Mansion, and the other is actually Li Chenan!

Xiangdong kept looking at Li Chenan.

In fact, he had already seen Li Chenan when they met in the backyard of the Yamen.

But he's still watching it now.

There was a wind lamp hanging in the carriage, and the light swayed a little with the bumps of the carriage, so Li Chenan's appearance seemed a little blurry in Xiangdong's eyes.

"Sir, is there something wrong with my face?"

Xiangdong smiled slightly and said, "Not really."

"Then what are you looking at?"

"After all, you are the grandson of my mentor. After all, I have been curious about you for so long, and finally I can't help but want to see more clearly."

Li Chenan raised his eyebrows, "I didn't expect you to be from His Highness the Crown Prince, but I wanted to ask you a question."

"who?"

"My second uncle Li Wenhou... what kind of person is he?"

"..." Xiangdong withdrew his gaze and pondered for a moment, but did not comment on Li Wenhou. Instead, he said: "Your second aunt was once your second uncle and my junior sister."

"I studied under your grandfather. Your second aunt is actually extremely talented. If she hadn't been born a daughter, she would have been on the gold medal list in the autumn of the third year of Zhaohua."

Li Chenan did not expect that his second aunt, whom he had never met, was still a talented woman, but he had no intention of going to the House of the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue again.

After all, it was still too unfamiliar.

Xiangdong seemed reluctant to talk about Li Wenhou, so he changed the topic:

"Since His Highness the Crown Prince also values ​​you, this is an excellent opportunity."

"It's just..." Xiangdong leaned over, the expression on his face became serious, "It's just tonight, can you really beat those teenagers from Yue Kingdom?"

"I'm not fighting alone, aren't there students from Taiyuan College?"

"But what if you can only fight alone?"

Li Chenan was slightly startled, "Su Muxin, Yang Yulin, Tang Qian, Qi Zhixue, the four great talents in Kyoto and I have all drank together, they will always be on my side, right?"

"But they have passed the Jinshi examination and are no longer students of Taiyuan University. This is inconsistent with the rules of participating in cultural societies!"

Only then did Li Chenan realize how great Ji Tai's influence was, because the original rules were not like this.

"We still have half an hour to go to the literary world. If you change your mind now... I will send you out of the city right now!"

Li Chenan suddenly smiled and waved his hand:

"Die rather than sing, live without silence."

"Go to...the literary world!"
Chapter completed!
