mid autumn night 10
The podium of Zaidaolou was hardly lively.
Because there are only the whispers of Yue students.
The Ningguo students shut their mouths one by one, because they had nothing to say, and because every word they said was meaningless except to complain.
From everyone's point of view, Li Chenan's defeat is set.
This is a battle without any suspense, and of course there is nothing to look forward to and discuss.
The students of Yue State are ashamed to mention it, and the students of Ning State are ashamed to talk about it.
But Yang Duoduo seems to be a little different.
He seldom communicates with his friends, instead he glances at Li Chenan who is opposite him from time to time.
At this time, Li Chenan didn't say anything to the friends around him, so the two just looked at each other occasionally.
This made Li Chenan feel a little weird.
It is because the opposite sex attracts each other, and I thought that when I heard that Yue women are affectionate, does it mean that Yue men also have special hobbies?
But Master Ben didn't.
Therefore, he no longer looked at Yang Duoduo, but closed his eyes and meditated.
Of course he didn't know how intricate this game was. What he was thinking about now was what he would face after staying in the capital.
He needs to visit Cheng Guogong and Qi Guogong again, and also needs to meet Mr. Changsun again, and of course Brother Hua Manting Hua, and even that rather indifferent second uncle Li Wenhou.
etc.
Because he needs people who know more and more.
After all, if he will stand on that temple in the future——
Li Chen'an didn't have the slightest doubt about this, even though he didn't even have the status of a scholar.
He believed that with Cheng Guogong's ability, when he said that sentence, Cheng Guogong was already fully sure.
This kind of thing is not a strange thing in past and present lives, and throughout the ages.
Then he will face Ji Tai face to face. What can be seen is that Ji Tai has controlled the government for more than ten years, and most of the officials in the court are of course promoted by him.
He needs to know clearly who is the enemy on the surface, who is undercover, and who is standing on the wall and watching.
This is of course a very troublesome thing, because I am among many enemies, but the only comfort is that Cheng Guogong obviously thought of this, and got himself an advising doctor on the fifth rank.
Ruoshui said that this official is a prose official with great freedom and no practical things to do.
But what they did was all things that offended people.
They belong to the Supervision Department, and they specialize in catching the braids of all officials!
Then write a letter to the emperor, even if the impeachment is wrong, he is not guilty!
So this kind of proselyte official is very unpleasant, but because the emperor no longer goes to court, and because Ji Tai covers the sky with one hand, those proselyte officials in the court have become real idlers.
Even many such officials would not even go to the morning court.
Because it doesn't make sense to go, but you have to suffer from the faces of those officials.
Without the emperor to back them up, they would become motherless children.
But there is also a mean stepmother!
Difficult!
Just when Li Chenan was thinking about these things, a voice suddenly came from the door
"Students, the emperor has arrived!"
"The emperor invites all of you to go up to the third floor to meet me, and please accompany me with the miscellaneous family!"
An old eunuch was standing at the door with a whisk in his hand.
With a smile on his face, after saying these words, he looked at the students inside, and finally his eyes froze on Li Chenan's face for a moment before turning around and walking away.
Then, the students of Yue State and Ning State all got up and followed the old man to the main building.
...
...
On the third floor of Zaidao Building.
In the spacious and bright hall, the short tables on both sides were full of people.
Li Chenan glanced around, he saw Cheng Guogong and Qi Guogong, Hua Manting, Shang Di and others among the crowd on both sides.
His sight fell on the first position on the left.
Sitting in that seat was the Prime Minister Ji Taji who had passed by!
Ji Tai also happened to look at him at this moment.
The eyes of the two faced each other, and they were still a little far away, but it seemed that they both saw the meaning of the eyes.
Thirty-two students followed the old man and filed in from the middle passage of the crowd on the left and right.
Ji Tai is getting closer and closer.
The emperor, prince and others sitting above are also getting closer.
But Li Chenan just glanced up, and then looked at Ji Tai.
Ji Tai stroked his long beard and suddenly smiled.
He looked away, picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.
When Li Chenan passed by his table, Li Chenan suddenly whispered something sincerely to him
"Drink less alcohol, this is a lot of age, it will hurt your health!"
Ji Tai raised his head, was slightly taken aback, then narrowed his eyes after a while, but still didn't say a word.
Li Chenan's words were obviously not concerned about him, but worried that he would die early.
This kid does have a bit of backbone, but unfortunately, he is going to die tonight.
Why bother with a dying person!
The officials sitting near Ji Tai naturally also heard this sentence, and they each had different understandings, but when they looked at Li Chenan again, their eyes were almost indifferent——
This round was set up by Prime Minister Ji.
This person is the one whom Prime Minister Ji named to die.
Just a young man who came from Guangling City died.
Even if his grandfather was the former Taiwei, after all, people go for tea, not to mention that Li Chunfu has already crossed the bridge of Naihe.
Of course, there are also some eyes with sympathy.
It's just that this kind of sympathy is concealed extremely deeply, and there is nothing that can be done after all, and it is still necessary to protect oneself after all.
In all kinds of thoughts, Li Chen'an and others have arrived before Shengjia.
Of course, Li Chenan had already looked away, he saw the emperor sitting on a wide dragon chair in the middle!
I've seen it on TV before.
Now see the living emperor.
This is of course a bit strange, he wanted to take a second look, but he heard the voice of the old man
"Your Majesty, all students... kneel down!"
The students from Yue State and Ning State knelt down on both sides.
Li Chenan didn't know the rules, he was the last one to kneel down.
All the students lowered their heads, only his head was raised slightly, and he looked curiously at the emperor with a very sluggish expression——
According to what Zhongli Ruoshui said, today's son ascended the throne at the age of eighteen, and now Zhaohua is twenty-three years old, so he is forty-two years old.
Forty-two years old in this world can actually be called middle-aged and elderly people, but the middle-aged and elderly people that Li Chenan has come into contact with, such as Hua Manting, Shang Di, or Wu Xichen, etc., they are over sixty, but their energy is obviously higher than this The emperor in his forties is much better.
It's kind of like the performance of excessive indulgence.
But it is said that the harem of his Changle Palace does not have a single concubine.
Therefore, he practiced alchemy and ate the poisonous elixir to become like this.
Li Chenan was a little distracted thinking about these things, so he didn't leave his eyes. This made His Royal Highness, who was sitting on the left of the emperor, extremely uneasy, because Li Chenan's actions meant a great offense!
Ning Zhiyi turned to look at his father.
Seeing that the father is also slightly leaning over to look at Li Chenan at this moment.
It's just that there was no displeasure on the father's face.
He seemed to be really curious about Li Chenan.
He didn't notice that his father was holding on to the armrests of the dragon chair with both hands at the moment, and his grip was a little tight under the cover of the wide sleeves.
