After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Luo Ye was confused!

Any information can be false, how can the emperor’s coronation ceremony be false?
That is a huge thing that the cabinet has informed the whole country!

It would be understandable if documents in more remote places have not yet been delivered, but this is Kyoto!

When the cabinet made this decision ten days ago, the whole of Kyoto knew about it.

The Prince Regent is back!

He will be enthroned as emperor in the Hanyuan Hall on the eighth day of the eleventh month of the twenty-fifth year of Zhaohua!

This is no child's play!

Originally, Luo Ye didn't choose this day. After all, it was a festive day, and the fact that his old father died in Hanyuan Hall was really unlucky.

He originally wanted to wait two days before taking his dying father to see Li Chenan, but his father couldn't bear it anymore.

Maybe the medicine was too strong, and I saw that my old father was in trouble.

He must come, otherwise the old father dies and he comes to plead guilty to the emperor again, and the sin will inevitably fall on him.

Another reason that forced him to come now was that he learned that Luo Sheng did not escape from Kyoto that day!

Luo Sheng was captured by Jingzhao Mansion and sent to the Ministry of Punishment Prison to be secretly imprisoned!
This is enough to prove that Li Chenan already knows about the collusion between Luo Guogong's government and Huang Ren to smuggle private salt!
He was in constant panic.

Luo Sheng didn't know many things, but Luo Sheng witnessed the attack on his old father that night.

I am still too soft-hearted!
If he hadn't thought about Luo Sheng's father's early death and hoped to leave him a heir, Luo Sheng should have been killed that night!
This is the kindness of women!
I blame myself for being careless. I didn't expect that Li Chen'an had already made many arrangements before he returned to Kyoto.

So, he asked Lao Liang to spend a lot of money to invite people from the Privy Council of the State of Yue to rob the prison!
Not to rescue Luo Sheng, but to kill Luo Sheng in prison!
As for what those people did, he didn't know, but when Lao Liang came back, he said that the mission was completed, but there was something wrong, and the sixth young master's head could not be brought out.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he quickly called the servants to carry the sedan chair and quickly carried the old father, who was left with the last breath, into the palace.

Luo Sheng died, and Lao Liang also disguised himself and left Kyoto.

People from the Luo Mansion have also gone to various salt mines in the past two years. The huge Duke Luo's Mansion is actually deserted now.

He can't leave yet.

Those salt mines brought him unparalleled wealth!

He couldn't bear to let go.

In addition, the Dongli Island is like a bottomless pit, and they still need a lot of money to build warships!
He must continue to be in charge of those salt mines in an official capacity, must continuously provide money to Dongli Island, and wait for the day when Dongli Island's warships sail into the Yangtze River and then break through Linshui and enter the Yuguangdao Canal.

Li Chenan ascended the throne today. Even if he offended him, he would not be able to punish him on this day.

So he came.

He behaved to his own extreme satisfaction.

Especially the five kowtows...the burning on their foreheads must be red, and must be red.

But he never expected that Li Chenan was not in this hall!
Is this one knocked out?
He was still kneeling on the ground and turned to look at Wen Boiyu, "Master Wen... where is the emperor...?"

Wen Boiyu was also helpless!

He walked over and stood in front of Duke Luo's sedan chair, "I also want to know where the emperor is!"

After saying this, he leaned over, and Old Duke Luo opened his eyes with difficulty.

His eyes had already become dull.

But the moment he saw Wen Boiyu, he suddenly became a little brighter.

Like the light of a candle.

There seemed to be a "pop" sound, and then it quickly dimmed again.

"Ah...ah...ah...ah..."

The low voice flowed hard in his throat, and he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Wen Boyu frowned slightly.

In fact, the results of the Criminal Department's interrogation of Luo Sheng have already been released, but Li Chenan's intention is to leave Luo Ye alone for the time being.

Li Chenan said that the salt merchants and salt gangs in Beimo Road only listen to the orders of one person!
They called that man old man!
No one knows who the old man is.

Li Chenan suspected that it was Duke Luo because he was indeed old and because he knew the five major salt fields in Ningguo best.

But Wen Boyu once told Li Chenan that Duke Luo was unlikely. Although he had colluded with Ji Tai, it was to consolidate his position in Duke Luo's palace.

If he is said to have colluded with the Huangren...it is unlikely that Mr. Luo would be able to do such a thing as betraying his country.

So who will the old man be? Wen Boyu turned to look at Luo Ye, "The emperor has something to do and cannot come to court early. Mr. Luo wants to see the emperor... I will tell the emperor about his thoughts and yours."

"It's better to take the old man back home and make him feel more comfortable."

As soon as Wen Boyu finished speaking, a loud roar came from outside:
"The Emperor has arrived...!"

At this moment, all the civil and military officials in the court turned their heads and looked outside the door, and they were all surprised again——

Li Chenan walked in in full view of everyone.

But he didn’t put on that dragon robe!
He was actually wearing a blue robe and had five girls with him!

The five girls did not step into Hanyuan Hall. They stood at the door for a while, then turned and left.

Ning Chuchu took them to the harem.

Li Chenan walked into the hall without any care, and his eyes fell on the sedan.

He also leaned down and looked at Old Duke Luo carefully. At this time, Old Duke Luo's cloudy eyes shone a little brighter.

He wanted to raise his hand, but was unable to do so.

He couldn't say a word of what he wanted to say.

There was urgency in his eyes, but he couldn't express it.

He was in a hurry, and in this hurry he opened his mouth, but before he could take a breath, his eyes slowly closed.

Li Chenan reached out and touched Old Duke Luo's neck, and after a moment he sighed:
"gone!"

He turned and looked at the ministers, "I..."

Wen Boyu quickly whispered: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to call yourself me!"

"Ah, I...see that the old prince is so loyal, I feel very emotional."

"The old prince worked hard all his life. When he was young, he wore a battle armor, carried a long sword, and rode a horse to defend the country's borders."

"When I returned to Kyoto in my middle age, I could have lived a comfortable life, but instead I was in charge of the five major salt fields in Ningguo. I devoted a lot of effort to it and paid a lot of taxes for the country."

After Li Chenan said this, he walked towards Luo Ye, who was still kneeling on the ground.

“The spirit of the old Duke serving the country is worth learning from all of us!”

"The integrity of the old prince is also an example for all of us!"

"Luo Ye..."

"Chen is here!"

"Take the old Duke back and give him a grand burial. He has become a highly respected minister and I can no longer grant him the title. Although Duke Luo is gone, the Luo Mansion..."

He bent down and helped Luo Ye up.

Looking at the blood on Luo Ye's forehead, he said again seriously:

"Part of Ningguo's salt industry will be left to you to take care of!"

When Luo Ye heard this, his heart skipped a beat, because Li Chenan was talking about part of the salt industry!
Patting Luo Ye's shoulder, Li Chenan turned around and walked towards the dragon platform.

"You must be well aware of the importance of the salt tax to the country."

"You... you are still a little younger after all, and you are not as stable as the old prince. You should take care of the salt fields in Yanzhou first. The rest... I have other plans."

Standing on the stage, Li Chenan looked at Luo Ye again and smiled slightly:
"I know this work is tiring!"

"Luo Qing needs to take care of the old Duke's funeral. According to etiquette, Luo Qing will observe mourning for three years."

"The country now needs a lot of tax money, and the salt farm cannot be abandoned because of this,"

When Luo Ye heard this, his heart dropped.

He raised his head and asked quickly: "Your Majesty...didn't you say before that you wanted to abolish bad habits and eliminate Ding You?"

Li Chenan smiled slightly and sat on the dragon chair.

The dragon chair is a bit wide and hard to sit on. I will need to get a cushion someday.

But the feeling of sitting on it and looking down at all living beings is really good.

He looked at Luo Ye again and raised his eyebrows: "I have changed my mind!"

"Okay?" (End of Chapter)
