I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 609
This morning court lasted for a long time, and it was finally over when the winter sun had risen to a high place.

Li Ao was a little annoyed by the battle in southern Xinjiang, so he arranged a lot of things in court this time, and entrusted Prime Minister Tan with a heavy responsibility, he must achieve enough results.

Then there was the matter of Li Dong's participation in politics. Li Ao asked the governor of Chang'an to cooperate fully, and asked him to take over the imperial forest army and Chang'an inner guard.

Such a style surprised many people, but they also understood that Li Ao was preparing for the crown prince to provoke him by acting like this.

An early court brought about considerable changes in the power center of the Wen Dynasty, but when the crowd dispersed, Song Mu was left behind.

At that moment, the eunuch led Song Mu to the Nuan Pavilion, and when Song Mu saw Li Ao sitting in it wearing a cloak, he hurriedly saluted.

"Song Aiqing doesn't need to be too polite, just sit down."

There were only Li Ao and Song Mu in the Warm Pavilion. Song Mu hurriedly sat down. At this moment, the two looked at each other, and Li Ao spoke.

"Song Aiqing, how long ago was the last time I saw you like this?"

"Your Majesty, it will be a year."

Li Ao nodded, looked at Song Mu with slightly tired eyes, and said slowly.

"I called you here for the sake of the prince."

"Now I intend to let the prince take over the power, but I don't want you to mix anything in it, remember, it's anything."

Song Mu raised his head suddenly when he heard this, and the doubt flashed across his face.

Song Mu originally thought that Li Ao wanted to do something for the prince, but he didn't expect that he wanted to be alone.

This made Song Mu a little puzzled.

"I know you have objections to this, but I understand that what the crown prince needs more now is not for you to be an aide."

"Song Aiqing, I have been on the throne for many years, and I have seen countless champions, but if you talk about them, you are the only one I am most satisfied with."

"Song Aiqing, you should be clear about your Highness's situation. If you talk about the promotion of Wen Dao, you will do your part."

"I'm getting worse and worse..."

"His Majesty!"

When Song Mu heard this, he stood up suddenly, but Li Ao stretched out his hand and said to Song Mu immediately.

"I want you to do your best to ensure that the prince will be promoted to the realm in the midst of the spring."

When Li Ao said these words, his expression was extremely serious, and there was a bit of eagerness in those eyes.

At that moment, Song Mu suddenly lifted his spirits, and looked at the other party with the same seriousness.

There was a moment of silence in the warm pavilion. Song Mu took a deep breath and stood in silence.

"I understand that I should do my best to help His Highness be promoted."

Li Ao nodded in satisfaction, leaned back slightly this time, but spoke slowly again.

"Song Aiqing, when the crown prince is promoted to Jinshi in the future, I... will reward you personally."

At this moment, Li Ao spoke with a somewhat strange determination. After Song Mu withdrew from the warm pavilion, he also felt that something was quietly brewing.

The peace in the past seems to have been torn apart because of this incident, but Song Mu saw the weakness in the prosperous age.

At this moment, there was a sound in the warm pavilion on the other side, and Feng Xiang left angrily from it.

But overnight, there was such an overlapping of powers in Chang'an. Now that His Majesty has reactivated Prime Minister Tan and suppressed Prime Minister Feng in this way, he doesn't know what will happen next.

Now Song Mu once again stood in front of His Highness's promotion, but this time it was no longer a scholar to a scholar, but a scholar to a Jinshi.

Among them, the difficulty increased by a thousand times, and countless people fell on the road.

In the current situation, it would be whimsical for Li Dong to be promoted without risk of failure. All Song Mu could think of was to hone his literary skills.

If the article is brilliant, it will attract literary stars. After that, even Song Mu can only do some superficial work for Li Dong.

In the examination room of the imperial examination, the articles are enlightened, and the essays are written with perseverance.

In the following days, Song Mute invited Yan Fu to study articles for Li Dong together with him, but things still had different changes.

Because of participating in the political affairs of Chang'an, Li Dong had to take care of a lot of things. In the past, there were only books in the East Palace, but now there are still many books.

Li Dong also went from being excited and active at the beginning to being tired now, and because he had to take care of his studies at the same time, he was a bit at a loss.

Although there are aides to help Li Dong solve the problem, Li Dong mostly does it by himself, and even resists the help of others.

It was already late at night, and Song Mu had just corrected an article written by Li Dong. Li Dongying's eyes were red, waiting for Song Mu to explain the situation.

Only this time, Song Mu put down the scroll in his hand and said immediately.

"Your Highness, you can go to rest. I will explain this article to you tomorrow."

Hearing this, Li Dong shook his head and looked up at Song Mu.

"Lecture. I will go to Chang'an Internal Guard to inspect the armaments tomorrow morning. You should talk about it first."

Li Dong said so, got up and poured a cup of tea and drank it down, forcing himself to cheer up.

Seeing this situation, Song Mu shook his head.

"Your Highness, it is useless to study in such a situation. You are being dragged down by government affairs in your current state."

"You can't have both fish and bear's paw."

After hearing this, Li Dong paused, but now he sighed.

"Of course I understand, but I have to do this."

"I have to have both."

Li Dong was like this, looked at him immediately, and continued to speak.

"The matter in southern Xinjiang really disappointed my father, but with the current situation, I can't let my father down anymore."

"His Majesty is diligent and diligent, but if he fails to be promoted, it will really disappoint His Majesty."

Li Dong still shook his head slightly when he heard this, and then looked at Song Mu and sighed slightly.

"Lectures, but you are thinking about it, and the two are really insignificant."

"Do you know that the ringing of the bell that day was extremely unexpected? My father was different. A group of eunuchs rushed to ring the bell instead of inviting the imperial physician. Lectures, do you know that my father woke up and heard about this, and almost fainted again ?”

Li Dong said immediately, Song Mu also paused suddenly when he heard these words, there was actually such a situation.

"To be honest, after Song Lecture, An Guogong..., the father has lost a few people who can talk, and once this incident happened, people in the imperial city have different opinions."

"Father ordered me to be in charge of the Imperial Forest Army and Chang'an Internal Guard, that is..."

Speaking of this, Li Dong's expression also showed two points of anger, and he looked at Song Mu immediately, and said in a deep voice.

"Teaching, because of this, I must not let my father worry, otherwise, how will I convince the public in the future?"

Song Mu stood where he was, with thousands of thoughts flashing through his mind at this moment, and then he looked at the other party and spoke.

"But Your Highness, if your cultivation level is not smooth, then it will be like when you were promoted to Juren..."

Li Dong took two steps forward at the moment, looking at Song Mu with a slightly complicated look.

"I understand the disadvantages. Song lectures, and I, like my father, desire to be promoted smoothly."

"I also know what my father and the lectures have done to dispel that possibility."

"But for this matter, I have already prepared."

Song Mu looked up at Li Dong, and at this moment Li Dong was determined.

"In the past, there were no monarchs in the Wen Dynasty who did not become Jinshi, and I, Li Dong, will never be a juren king."

"Wen Dao is outstanding, Song Lectures, I just ask you one question."

"This Jinshi Wendao, do I have that possibility?"

The hall was silent and the candlelight was flickering. Song Mu and Li Dong looked at each other and saw the flame in Li Dong's eyes.

Song Mu, who had his hands down, clenched his fists slightly and let out a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, maybe I once thought that there is no way out of doubts after mountains and rivers, but now it should be that there is another village."

Li Dong's eyes were deep, and he nodded heavily at this moment.

"Okay, then please give lectures and the emperor, and wait for this time when the willows are dark and the flowers are bright."
