Chapter 95: Your subordinate Sang Wen, here to meet the Master of Langya Pavilion! (13, please subscribe!)
After listening to Linjiangxian, Zhuang Mohan chewed over the words again and again. The more he chewed, the more delicious it became, and the more he read, the more fascinated he became.
"A person stands alone in the falling flowers, swallows fly in pairs in the light rain...The bright moon was there at that time, shining on the colorful clouds as they return."
"What a natural talent this is! Any line he utters can be called a famous line for all time!"
Zhan Pianpian sat there in a daze, her mind was almost blank, and her ears were still echoing with those words that made her blush and her heart beat fast.
Flying together, meeting for the first time, missing each other...
Prince Yong is even more handsome and heroic than the rumors say, but just like the legend, he is also romantic, handsome, bold and unrestrained!
The first time you meet me, you dare to write such embarrassing poems!
Zhan Pianpian understood poetry, so her heart was beating fast. This poem was a naked expression of his love for her.
But my true appearance has not been revealed yet, how can I be worthy of such a famous article.
She lowered her head deeply and said with shame, "Xiao Pian has an ugly appearance, I'm afraid she is not worthy of him..."
Li Changan smiled calmly, not caring at all, "Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. Miss Xiao Pian has the charm of a beauty."
Hearing Li Changan's words, Zhan Pianpian's body suddenly trembled!
She wanted to tear off the makeup on her face. Look! My appearance is also beautiful!
For some reason, Zhan Pianpian recalled the erotic words that Li Changan wrote to Si Lili.
He is worthy of being called the poet saint of Nanqing. Whether he writes serious or casual poems, they can make people weak in the knees.
Fan Xian quietly rolled his eyes several times. This Li Changan was really thick-skinned. He could copy poems without blushing or getting nervous.
He suspected that the time traveler behind him had copied a large book for Li Changan and asked him to memorize all the poems so he could use whichever poem he wanted.
He kept eating one roll after another and almost finished the roast duck.
He also saw that Zhan Pianpian was in disguise. Li Changan didn't even know her real appearance, yet he wrote poems to tease her. Wasn't that too risky!
By the time Zhan Pianpian came to her senses, Fan Xian had already eaten all the roast duck.
The delicious food was snatched away, and Zhan Pianpian couldn't help but shed a tear silently.
This Fan Xielü is too much. He is so greedy!
Zhuang Mohan sighed and said, "This disciple of mine understands poetry the best. She can understand the meaning of your highness's words and has been moved to tears."
Zhan Pianpian had a hard time expressing her feelings. She was truly moved, so moved that her face turned red, her heart beat fast, and her imagination ran wild.
As for crying, that’s because of greed!
Li Changan reminded, "Xiao Pian is a beautiful girl, but if she continues to indulge in poetry, the delicious food will be eaten by Fan Xielu."
Yishiju’s signature dishes are the most exquisite; today’s dishes were prepared several days ago.
After finishing the same dish, even if you order another similar dish, the quality will be much worse.
Zhan Pianpian woke up as if from a dream. He put away the poems he had written and immediately started to fight with Fan Xian for the food.
Zhuang Mohan continued, "Your Highness Prince Yong, you are known as the Three Saints of Poetry, Calligraphy and Painting in Qing. With your attainments in calligraphy and painting, you are indeed worthy of the title."
“However, many Qi scholars are not convinced by your highness’s poems.
They asked me to invite Your Highness to attend the Yunmen Poetry Festival held every three years in Qi State.
The Northern Wei and Northern Qi dynasties have always been known for their orthodox literary traditions, and the Yunmen Poetry Festival brought together famous poets from all over the world and was held every three years at the Yunmen Temple in Shangjing.
Many famous poets of the Northern Qi Dynasty gradually became famous because of a poem they wrote at the Yunmen Poetry Conference.
Just like the imperial examinations in the Northern Qi Dynasty, this poetry meeting was also the most coveted event among literati all over the world, and many scholars from various countries participated in it.
Before Li Changan traveled around the world, he had received an invitation to the Yunmen Poetry Society, but Emperor Qing was afraid of a conspiracy by Northern Qi, so he never let Li Changan go.
It’s different now. Li Changan has his own secret guards, so it’s not easy for Northern Qi to plot against him.
"Master Zhuang, I have long admired the Yunmen Poetry Festival. I will definitely not miss it this year."
"However, I am afraid that the great poets of your country have been looking forward to my participation in the Yunmen Poetry Festival for a long time."
This grand poetry meeting is the best opportunity for Li Changan to become famous for his poetry. This time he will definitely convince all poets in the world.
Now that Zhan Pianpian of Northern Qi has come to our doorstep, it’s time to go and see Zhan Doudou.
Zhan Doudou is an empress, but this matter is absolutely confidential. If she gets hold of this, the empress can easily control her.
Hearing Li Changan's words, Zhuang Mohan also smiled slightly, "To be honest, many poets in Qi think that your highness's poetry is not broad enough."
"However, I can tell from your highness's several excellent works that you have a broad mind and will surely be able to produce a masterpiece at the poetry meeting!"
At this time, Zhan Pianpian wiped her tears and said, "Teacher, you have to help us when the time comes. We can't let hundreds of people compete in poetry with His Royal Highness Prince Yong alone."
Zhuang Mohan twirled his beard and smiled, "Of course, the teacher still has some face."
"Your Highness Prince Yong, rest assured. With me here, I will never let the scholars of Qi attack you."
Li Changan believed in Zhuang Mohan's character. He believed that he was a man of great ambition.
However, Li Changan was not afraid of competing with hundreds of people in poetry. After all, he had a library of poems in his mind.
That night, the two had a great conversation and talked until late at night.
Fan Xian was so excited when he heard the story that he wanted to say something several times but finally didn't say anything.
Zhan Pianpian's eyes lit up as she listened, with a gleam of light in her big eyes, showing no sign of being tired.
After the dinner, Master Zhuang Mohan and his apprentice left Yishiju under the protection of the Inspection Institute and the Shadow Secret Guards.
Because there was a strong demand among the government and the people of Nanqing to wipe out Northern Qi in one fell swoop, many people in the underworld wanted to assassinate Zhuang Mohan.
As long as Zhuang Mohan died in Nanqing, the two sides would surely rekindle the war, and Nanqing's unification of the world would be just around the corner.
However, these gangsters have no idea of the power of the grandmaster. As long as Ku He is alive, the Northern Qi ancestral temple will never be destroyed.
a few days later.
Luowang base in the suburbs of Beijing.
Li Changan hugged the delicate Si Lili and talked about interesting stories from recent negotiations.
"Lili, the Nanqing envoys have solemnly declared to Beiqi, asking Beiqi to immediately hand over the spy Si Lili who was kidnapped by Haitang Duoduo."
"The Northern Qi delegation insisted that it was Nan Qing herself who pretended to be the Saint of Northern Qi and hid Si Lili."
"But they just can't provide Haitang Duoduo's schedule for those days. Isn't that infuriating?"
Si Lili said in a sweet voice, "Your Highness is really capable, and he can turn the tide between the two countries. They have been arguing for a long time, and they didn't even know that I was hidden by Your Highness."
Li Changan said, "Later, when I go to Northern Qi to attend a poetry gathering, I will take you back with me, and you will stay with the little emperor Zhan Doudou."
"I am already rescuing your brother. I think he will be rescued by then."
Si Lili frowned slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for helping me rescue my brother. My brother fell into the hands of the Northern Qi royal family and was forced to be a spy for Northern Qi."
Luo Wang also has people in the Northern Qi Imperial Palace. After all, there is no grand master in the Northern Qi Imperial Palace, so it is much easier to place people there.
It is very important to plant a thorn next to the emperor of Northern Qi, not to mention that Zhan Doudou has some feelings for Si Lili.
"You don't have to deliberately inquire about anything. I will send someone to contact you. You just need to tell the person you contact about important matters."
Si Lili said with some resentment, "Of course I will follow your arrangements, but I really can't bear to leave you."
Li Changan smiled calmly, "Don't worry, in a few years, you will be able to return to my side, and that little empress will not be able to escape."
Si Lili has long known that Li Changan is very powerful and has big ambitions. "It turns out that His Highness has even set his sights on Doudou. She is a stunning beauty."
Li Changan said leisurely, "I am mainly concerned about her Northern Qi Kingdom, and taking down the empress is just a matter of convenience." After a warm and affectionate moment with Si Lili, Li Changan summoned Jingwei to ask about the latest major events.
"Jingwei, how is the fight between the six ministries and the Inspection Institute going in the court?"
Ever since Lin Ruofu tried to assassinate Fan Xian again, Chen Pingping has regarded Lin Ruofu as an enemy.
The Inspection Bureau investigated and punished a large number of corrupt officials in the six ministries, which marked the beginning of the Inspection Bureau's fight against the six ministries.
Lin Ruofu was no pushover either. When the First Division of the Inspection Institute was supervising the six ministries, he had done many things that were biased for personal gain and violated the law, and all of these were exposed one by one.
Jing Wei replied, "Many officials from the six ministries were punished, Chen Pingping was also fined, and some officials from the Inspection Institute who were partial to their own interests were also punished."
"Lin Ruofu submitted petitions many times, saying that Fan Xian and Lin Gong were enemies, and Lin Wan'er also felt alienated from Fan Xian."
"Even if Lin Gong was not killed by Fan Xian, he still has a grudge against him, so Lin Ruofu requests to cancel the engagement between Lin Wan'er and Fan Xian."
Li Changan asked, "Does the harem have any attitude towards Wan'er's engagement?"
Jingwei first talked about Li Yunrui, "Li Yunrui has repeatedly advised that Emperor Qing should consider Lin Wan'er's happiness. After all, Lin Wan'er is also Emperor Qing's adopted daughter."
Emperor Qing adopted Wan'er as his adopted daughter in order to facilitate the marriage with Fan Xian and let Fan Xian take over the inner treasury. It was also a reasonable channel for the inner treasury to be passed from Li Yunrui to his son-in-law.
However, it is impossible for Lin Wan'er and Fan Xian to marry, so Emperor Qing will worry about the inheritance of the inner treasury.
After all, the Neiku is the economic lifeline of Nanqing, and it is not appropriate to hand it over to outsiders or unreliable people.
However, Li Yunrui was too powerful and had sucked too much blood from the inner treasury, and Emperor Qing was almost unable to tolerate it.
The current Fan Xian does not show powerful abilities like in the original drama, which makes Emperor Qing even more troubled.
"Jingwei, Emperor Qing wants to give the inner treasury to someone who has a close relationship with the royal family, does not belong to either of the two princes, and is only loyal to him."
Jingwei chuckled and said, "Your Highness, isn't it most appropriate to give it to you?"
Li Changan said, "I am already the number one person in the literary world of Southern Qing, and the Emperor of Qing wants me to become a Heavenly Veined Person, and I also have more than a hundred Shadow Guards who are stronger than the Tiger Guards."
"If you hand over the economic lifeline of Nanqing to me, a normal emperor would not allow a brother to have such power and fame, let alone His Majesty the Emperor of Qing."
Jingwei continued, "Li Yunrui is not a pushover. Seeing that Emperor Qing was somewhat relenting in his decision to grant marriage, she actually started introducing Lin Wan'er to the sons of noble families."
“Emperor Qing said that whoever marries Lin Wan’er will inherit the inner treasury.
Li Yunrui seized on this promise and wanted to introduce one of his people to be Lin Wan'er's concubine."
It seems that Li Yunrui herself knows that the inner treasury will be lost sooner or later, so she is trying to pass the inner treasury into the hands of her own people.
Unfortunately, what she didn't know was that Fan Xian was the illegitimate son of Emperor Qing, and the so-called Lin Wan'er's husband taking over the inner treasury was just a means to cover up the truth.
Jingwei talked about a few more things and finally mentioned Zhan Pianpian.
"Your Highness, the eldest princess Zhan Pianpian who sneaked into the Northern Qi envoys has been going to Miaoyinfang to listen to music recently."
"She asked Sang Wen, the courtesan of Miaoyinfang, to sing Linjiangxian. Every time I went there, I would listen to that song, and she would sing for half a day."
Miaoyinfang is a singing and dancing house. Sang Wen is now the top star of Miaoyinfang, which is equivalent to the popular singer in Li Changan’s previous life.
Li Changan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your Highness, the princess, is letting the top star sing on repeat?"
Jing Wei covered his mouth and laughed, "It seems that the princess has been conquered by His Highness, but Sang Wen is also singing like a fool, two fools."
Sang Wen, like Madam Wang from Wang Qinian's family, is now a core member of Luowang.
Luowang would support people like them who were capable but had limited resources to start their own businesses, and then obtain intelligence through them.
Li Changan only recently found out that Sang Wen, who was on the Langya Pavilion Beauty List, had become a member of Luowang.
In the original novel, Sang Wen was in charge of Baoyue Tower for Fan Xian and was also an intelligence officer, which shows that this woman had a talent for espionage.
Li Changan left the Luowang stronghold and used the Lingbo Weibu technique to fly like a bird. In less than a quarter of an hour, he arrived at Miaoyinfang.
Now Sang Wen is already half the owner of Miaoyinfang, and can be said to be both the boss and the courtesan.
Li Changan stopped on the roof of Miaoyinfang and heard pleasant music coming from the top floor.
The voice is delicate and melodious, full of affection, like the confession of a lark, touching the heart.
Now Zhan Pianpian has left, but Sang Wen is still playing the song on repeat, which shows how much she likes the lyrics.
"Clang!"
Sang Wen was playing the pipa and singing Linjiangxian alone in the room when he suddenly heard a noise at the door.
She opened the door and saw a token hanging on the door handle, with the logo of Langya Mountain and Luowang on it.
Sang Wen's heart tightened and he immediately put down his pipa, held up the token with both hands, and knelt down respectfully.
"This subordinate, Sang Wen, pays respect to the Langya Pavilion Master!"
Sang Wen has not been to Langya Mountain for training and does not know Luo Wang’s real name. She has always thought that she is a core member of Langya Pavilion.
On the first day she became a core member, Leader Jingwei taught them that the owner of this token was the Master of Langya Pavilion!
Sang Wen felt his hand lighten, and a figure seemed to pass by him.
She is very nervous now, because Jingwei said that unless there is something serious, the Lord of Langya Pavilion will not show up.
"Close the door and get up to talk."
Sang Wen heard a gentle young man's voice and didn't dare to look back. He got up and closed the door obediently.
She lowered her head and walked to a place not far from Li Changan before she dared to slowly raise her head.
When she saw Li Changan's handsome face in the candlelight, Sang Wen was so shocked that she almost fell to her knees.
Name: Sang Wen
Age: 20 years old
Realm: Level 3 Lower
Talents: Song Fu (eighth grade), Espionage (eighth grade)
Abilities: Singing (9th rank), Intelligence (7th rank), Poetry (6th rank), Management (5th rank)
Emotion: 80
"I am Sang Wen, a commoner, meeting His Royal Highness Prince Yong!"
Li Changan flicked his hand and Sang Wen could no longer kneel.
"Do you recognize this king?"
Sang Wen was so nervous that his voice trembled. "I followed the former courtesan and had the honor of singing for His Highness."
"I have known your Highness's two concubines since childhood, but they were bought into the palace."
Sang Wen’s mind raced. If Li Changan was the leader of Langya Pavilion, then it would be best not to hide anything.
A prince actually runs an intelligence agency.
Fine beads of sweat had already appeared on Sang Wen's forehead.
Did she...know something she shouldn't know?
I've been a bit stuck lately, so I'll have at least three chapters, but I may not be able to post them all at once. I'll try my best to get back on track soon!
