After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 275 Four Trees

"This crooked neck tree was planted 20 years ago."

Changsun Jinghong got up from the reclining chair and sat in front of the stone table.

He pointed to the crooked neck tree, and said:
"In the spring of the third year of Zhaohua, four of the big-leaf banyan trees that I know of have been planted."

"This one from our Imperial City Division was planted by Empress Lu... At that time, the Imperial City Division almost existed in name only, and the old man was also appointed in that year to take up the post of the Imperial City Division."

"The old man was recommended by Queen Lu to the emperor, so the old man is here, guarding this big-leaf banyan and growing into a towering tree."

Li Chenan looked at Changsun Jinghong.

The words of Changsun Jinghong meant that he was the confidant of the former Empress Lu.

Based on my current rumored life experience, Empress Lu is my mother, so when Changsun Jinghong mentioned this tree, he naturally hoped that he could trust him.

Even he has guarded the crooked neck tree until now, it seems that he still has the meaning of waiting for himself to come back and take over.

Then the emperor rewarded himself with the post of vice-president, and he probably had the same thoughts.

"The second big-leaf banyan tree is planted by the pond in the back garden of Dingguohou's Mansion."

"That one was planted by Mrs. Fan... She has been planting peach blossoms all her life, and this is the first time she planted a big-leaf banyan tree. It is well taken care of and grows very well."

"The Dingguohou's mansion today is almost comparable to the Shangchehou's mansion back then."

Hearing the second tree, Li Chen'an was slightly taken aback, because the ending of Shangchehou's Mansion was a tragedy!

"The third big-leaf banyan is in the plum garden...of course there are the most plum trees in the plum garden, but now the big-leaf banyan is the most eye-catching."

"It was planted by Princess Yun'an... Princess Yun'an was the daughter of Lu Zhanxiao back then, Queen Lu was her aunt, the emperor conferred her the title of Princess Yun'an, and Meiyuan was the Princess' mansion back then. "

Li Chenan suddenly realized that the princess Yun'an was his cousin, no wonder the emperor gave him the plum garden.

The owner of Yun'an County has a full family, and was also implicated in the incident of Shangchehou's Mansion, and now he probably has no descendants.

"The fourth one was planted in the old Yulou building. This one was planted by Shangdi. You have seen it before."

"That old fellow Shang Di said that he will go to Guangling City in a few days, to his Peach Blossom Island."

"He gave you the old Yulou. If you have time, you can go to the old Yulou once in a while and take care of the tree."

At this moment, Changsun Jinghong twirled a piece of pig's tail and gnawed it, then turned to Wang Zhengjinzhong and gave an order: "Tell the kitchen to cook two more dishes, and it will be regarded as a welcome for our deputy."

Wang Zheng and Jin Zhong agreed to leave, and Changsun Jinghong said again:
"Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and these four trees have towered to the sky...even our crooked-neck tree, although it grows a bit uglier, has already blocked out the sky."

Changsun Jinghong spat out the bones, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, pointed to the pig tail on the plate, "Taste it, it tastes good."

Li Chenan was not polite, twisted a piece and took a bite, "Mmm, the sauce has a strong fragrance, good craftsmanship!"

"Ruoshui made it by the cook in Juxian Pavilion."

"After that, I will ask Juxian Pavilion to bring you a plate every day."

Changsun Jinghong waved his hand: "Once you taste the fragrance, you will get tired of it. You can try it once in a while, so that the taste will be memorable."

"Those four trees grew well, but the four people who planted these four trees had different fates in just 20 years."

"Now the most beautiful place is Dingguohou's Mansion."

"Shang Di... lived a nourishing life, and he put his love in the lyrics and music, which also fulfilled his ideal heart."

"Only Empress Lu who planted this tree in our yard, and Princess Yun'an in the plum garden... Princess Yun'an is now missing, and the Imperial City Division has been chasing for so many years but has yet to find any useful clues. "

"In the past two years, I haven't asked the Imperial City Secretary to investigate."

"Why?"

"If you are still alive, why bother. If you are dead and your bones are already cold, why bother to look for it?"

Changsun Jinghong sighed, Xu is old, his heart is no longer as indifferent as before, on the contrary, he has a little more nostalgia for the vicissitudes of the world.

"Meiyuan, that's a good place."

"In winter, the snow is flying, and when the plum blossoms are in full bloom, the scenery of the plum garden is the most beautiful."

"I heard that the place has been repaired, when will you move to live in Meiyuan?"

Li Chenan thought for a while:

"I'm thinking about it in a few more days...the officials that the emperor rewarded me are not too busy, and the Supervision Department exists in name only, but I can go or not. Doctors from the Taiyuan Academy... let alone go there in a hurry."

"As for here, with your old man here, it's fine for me to come and talk with you occasionally."

"So I think that staying in Yunji Bieye for the time being won't delay things."

Changsun Jinghong pondered for a moment, "It's better to move into Meiyuan earlier."

"Why?"

"Although the Plum Garden is not as big as Yunji Bieye, it is more exquisite. In addition... You don't need to go to the Supervision Department and Taiyuan Academy, but here, you have to come every day."

"..."

"If you say that the Imperial City Division is simple, it is simple. If you say it is complicated, it is also quite complicated."

"The Imperial City Division not only has MI[-]. The Imperial City Division has a total of seven divisions. You need to get to know the commanders of the seven divisions. You also need to understand the operation of the Imperial City Division and know the strength of the Imperial City Division."

"I'm old, I hope you can grow up quickly."

"I'm tired too... I hope you can pick up this burden and make me feel lighter."

"……All right!"

Li Chenan looked at Changsun Jinghong, and asked suspiciously: "I'm really Empress Lu's son?"

"...Of course, otherwise, why would the emperor value you so much!"

"Then who killed Queen Lu?"

"This is what you have to investigate after you come to the Imperial City Division!"

"Do you have eyebrows?"

Changsun Jinghong pondered for a moment and shook his head, "The old man thinks that if you want to investigate this matter, I'm afraid you have to bring down Ji Tai before you think about it."

Now Li Chenan's biggest enemy is Ji Tai and everyone in Ji Tai's family!

This power is extremely huge, so huge that even if the Dingguohou's Mansion wants to do something, it has to weigh it again and again.

"I heard that today you scolded that old thing so much that you vomited three liters of blood and fell unconscious?"

Li Chenan chuckled, "On impulse."

"Impulsion is actually a good thing. It would be even better if you scolded him to death."

"Then the problem now is that Ji Tai might jump over the wall in a hurry. He doesn't care what your identity is, he will definitely do something to you."

"But at his age, he tends to be a little hesitant in doing things. If he wants to kill you, he must be fully prepared."

"What I'm referring to is... I'm afraid he will mobilize troops and horses to come and steal the country directly without doing anything else!"

Li Chenan was taken aback, "Is he really so courageous?"

Changsun Jinghong stroked his long beard and smiled slightly: "Anyway, he won't live many years, and he also wants to be crazy for the last time!"

"In that dark building, there are many things about him and his party that have been collected over the years. You can go and see for yourself in the future."

"After lunch, you will follow Wang Zheng Jinzhong to SI[-]."

"Let's start with seven."

"That place is a bit dark, you...you have to be prepared."
