After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

long night.

Sleepless nights.

In the gazebo in the back garden of Duke Xia's mansion, Hua Manting had drifted away.

Xia Guogong Xia Mochou is still sitting here.

He is drinking.

A person.

A jug of wine.

One mouthful after another.

As an old fox, he certainly wasn't so easily fooled by Hua Manting.

In fact, it has been more than ten days since Hua Manting arrived in Dongxu City.

In the past ten days, Hua Manting has been to Duke Xia's mansion three times.

The two had known each other decades ago. Hua Manting had traveled to Wu State when he was young, and Xia Mochou had also been to Ning State.

He is a general.

But he was deeply influenced by Xi Wei.

Therefore, his attainments in literature are also very good.

In the state of Wu, he was known as a Confucian general.

Seeing Hua Manting again tonight, and finally agreeing to Hua Manting becoming another Xi Wei of the Wu Kingdom...

This is not because of Xia Mochou's so-called lofty thoughts because of Xi Wei, but just the undercurrents hidden under the peaceful surface of Wu State.

Cutting the feudal clan bears the brunt!

As the Duke of his country, he knew that this was not groundless.

Is it good to cut down the feudal clan?
He thought about this question carefully.

From a standpoint of justice, this policy is very good, but from a personal standpoint...

His daughter Xia Wanyi is the concubine of the eldest prince, Prince Ping Wu Hui!
If this knife goes on, no one, daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren will be spared!
In the face of family affection, he must prevent the prince from cutting down the feudal clan after he ascended the throne.

He has been waiting and watching these days, hoping that the emperor would deny this matter at a court meeting, but the emperor did not mention it.

This shows that the emperor also has this intention.

The current emperor is not a fuel-efficient lamp!

Never mind that he seems to have handed over the affairs of state to His Highness the Crown Prince, but as long as he is still alive, he may turn his hand over at any time!
Especially the two forces in his hands——

Shuttle room!
And the Condor Army!

Gou Zhong, the general of the Condor Eagle Army, is known as the Emperor's Eagle!

And Mo Wangchen of Jishufang is called the emperor's dog!

The eagle and the dog are absolutely loyal to the emperor. If the emperor really made up his mind to cut down the feudal clan... even if he couldn't resist, he still had to find a way out for his children and grandchildren to save their lives.

Hua Manting said tonight that Li Chenan is not dead!
Xia Mochou didn't have the slightest doubt.

Because if Li Chen'an really died, Hua Manting would definitely not come to Wu country!
He will definitely be the headmaster of Tai Academy in Ningguo!

On the other hand, he also heard that his granddaughter Xia Hua fell in love with Li Chen'an... The way out became so clear.

It is not impossible to even use Li Chen'an's power to make an astonishing move in Wu country!

So what if he promised Hua Manting to be a scoff?
What's more, I am not the first Xi Wei in Wu Kingdom.

So who was the first?

Just as Xia Mochou was pondering carefully, Xia Liu walked over with her daughter Xia Hua.

"Father!"

"grandfather!"

The two bowed and saluted, Xia Mochou glared at Xia Liu, then looked at Xia Hua but smiled happily.

"Come, come, sit down!"

"The last time my grandpa went to Tianshan, I haven't seen her for more than a year now. My granddaughter seems to have grown taller again!"

"Sit down, let grandpa take a good look..."

Holding Xia Hua in one hand, Xia Mochou turned to look at Xia Liu, the smile on his face disappeared, and he glared at Xia Liu again, "Why are you still here? Hurry up and ask the kitchen to get some drinks." good food?"

"I want to have a drink with my granddaughter, you stand in the way! Get out of here...!"

Xia Mochou waved her hands in disgust, and Xia Liusheng left without love.

Xia Hua giggled and sat opposite Xia Mochou, "Grandpa, I seem to have gotten into trouble tonight."

Xia Mochou stroked her long beard and raised her neck: "What's wrong with the old man's granddaughter getting into trouble? That's not a big deal!"

"Tell me, what did you do?"

Xia Hua pursed her lips: "I, I seem to offend the little sign!"

Xia Mochou immediately opened her mouth wide, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "You mean...His Royal Highness?"

"Yes!"

Xia Mochou swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked left and right, and leaned over: "You just returned to the capital, why did you offend him?"

Xia Hua pondered for three breaths, and told Xia Mochou about tonight's literary meeting in detail.

"I just can't bear him stepping on Li Chen'an and Mr. Li... Obviously, no one in the world can compare with them in poetry, but the little signer just opens his eyes and talks nonsense!"

"Isn't this upside down?"

"I, I couldn't help but recited the poem made by my husband. My father said that Xiaozhangzi's face turned blue."

"Xiao Zhezi was very small-minded when he was a child, I'm afraid, I'm afraid he will hold a grudge against Xiafu!"

Xia Mochou stroked her long beard and sat up straight, "Oh..."

"The Mr. Li and his wife you said...they went to Xijian Tower?"

Xia Hua originally thought that her grandfather would think carefully about how to deal with Wu Qian, but she didn't expect her grandfather to ask such an insignificant matter.

She nodded, "Sir and wife are going to fulfill Chen An's last wish."

When Xia Mochou heard this, she suddenly laughed.

Xia Hua was startled, thinking that her father said that she had pierced the sky, how could grandpa be so calm?

He can still laugh!

"Don't worry about anything. After all, the crown prince still has more than a year to go."

"Grandpa wants to ask you, you went to Ningguo when you went down to Tianshan Mountain, and you also met Li Chenan... What do you think of Li Chenan?"

Xia Hua was stunned for a moment, her face turned red, and after a while it gradually dimmed.

She lowered her head slightly, and sighed: "No matter how good it is, what can we do? After all, one cannot be resurrected after death."

Xia Mochou leaned over again and carefully looked at his granddaughter's face. He already understood that this granddaughter really fell in love with Li Chenan.

He didn't say that Li Chenan was still alive.

What he said was: "Actually, the crown prince is very interested in you. Since Li Chen'an is dead...you are not too young. After all, you are going to marry someone, so marry the crown prince. The queen of Wu must be yours. What do you think?" ?”

Xia Hua raised her head all of a sudden, her eyes fixed, and her words were extremely firm: "No way!"

"Chen'an passed away, and I, my heart has condensed the appearance of a demon in the sky, and it is him!"

"I can't possibly marry anyone else!"

"I want to go back to Tianshan, and live my whole life on Tianshan like a master!"

Xia Mo raised his brows sadly, he was not angry, but asked very curiously: "You said, you have already condensed the celestial demon appearance? Is this celestial demon appearance still Li Chen'an?"

"Well, the Heavenly Demon's mentality is to be unswerving until death, so... I won't marry anyone!"

"Grandpa respects your opinion!"

"When I return to the capital this time, I can stay longer. Your mother misses you every day, so spend more time with your mother."

Xia Hua bit her lip, "I'm afraid it will take some time before I can come back to accompany my mother."

"Do you have anything else to do?"

"I, I want to go to the Jianjian Building."

Xia Mochou pondered for a moment, "To meet that Mr. Li?"

Xia Hua nodded, and a gleam of brilliance bloomed in her eyes again:

"Mr. is extremely talented. After he goes to the Sword Cleansing Tower, he will travel the world with his wife. I, I am worried that it will be difficult to see him again, so... In addition, I will also go to the Sword Cleansing Tower to compete with Duguhan! "

Xia Mochou looked at Xia Hua again, "Alright, then go talk to your mother."

"Thank you, grandpa, what about the little sign...?"

Xia Mochou waved her hand: "Tomorrow, before you go to Xijian Tower, come to the study. Grandpa will write a letter. You will bring it to Wu Ximiao, the owner of Xijian Tower!"

"Okay, the granddaughter will go down first."

"Ok!"

Xia Hua leaves happily, and Xia Liu walks back with a sad face.

Xia Mochou looked at Xia Liu, this time she didn't reprimand, but said:

"Sit down and have a few drinks with Weifu."

"It's Mid-Autumn Festival again, this year I'm afraid of the Mid-Autumn Moon... After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will soon be winter. The winter in Beifu will be very cold, so I have to ask your sister and husband to prepare more things for the winter! "

Shocked, Xia Liu heard her father say again:

"Remember, you will invite Xiao Chuanting tomorrow... that is the master pen maker from Yong Country. Please invite him to come to the mansion. For my father, I want to invite him to make a pen by himself."

Xia Liu was taken aback.

I thought to myself that my father abandoned his pen to join the army, and it has been decades since he laid down his pen.

How did this suddenly become a pen?

"Pour wine!"

"Wuyaguan, how is your brother Xia Li's situation?"

Xia Liu poured the wine and replied: "Ningguo's Red Flame Army still hasn't moved, but I heard that Wu Mian went to Yudan City and summoned many carpenters to do something secretly..."

"In addition, it is said that the Ningguo Ministry of Industry sent people to establish a firearms bureau in Yudan City. The defense is extremely tight. I am afraid they are making fireworks."

"Oh,"

Xia Mochou drank a glass of wine, "I'm afraid I won't be able to defend this Wu Ya Pass!"

"...Isn't the second brother...?"

Xia Mochou waved his hand, "Gou Kuo, the eldest son of General Gou Zhong, didn't he say that he would be a good general if he was familiar with military books?"

"Gou Kuo gets along very well with the crown prince, but now he is only a commander of the city guard...I'm sorry for his talent!"

"So after you go to court tomorrow, let the officials you have raised for many years write a letter of advice to His Highness the Crown Prince to impeach Xia Li, saying... Xia Liu sticks to Wuya Pass and does not think about making progress. Preparation time!"

"If things go on like this, I'm afraid Wuya Pass will be difficult to protect. I recommend Gou Kuo as the general to replace Xia Li in guarding Wuya Pass!"

Xia Liu was taken aback, "Isn't this... the second brother..."

Xia Mochou waved her hand again, "Nothing is more important than being alive!"

"Will the crown prince change his face?"

"Originally, he might have hesitated, but since Xia Hua offended him tonight, he won't hesitate at all!"

Xia Liu poured the wine again, and asked in a low voice, "Father, is the situation very unfavorable?"

"How can you be so stupid!"

Xia Mochou reprimanded Xia Liu, and said: "Do as father said, time is running out, in two days, father will be bedridden with serious illness, no longer show up, and no one will be seen!"

"In addition, you should go to Bailu Academy more often. Bailu Academy has declined these years, but don't forget that old master Qiu Chenqiu!"

"He is not only Xia Hua's first teacher, but also not only a great Confucianist in Wu."

"If it weren't for the current emperor's stick to beat mandarin ducks, he and the eldest princess in Tianyin Pavilion would have already had a whole family of children and grandchildren!" (End of this chapter)
