Wenweng Academy.

backyard.

Mei Fangxi raised the sharpened sword and squinted one eye to look at the blade.

"Actually, with my three-legged cat skills... I don't understand what you mean by asking me to cut down the peach blossoms all over the Western Mountains?"

Hua Manting put down the book in her hand and said with a smile:

"It is precisely because you are a three-legged cat that you need to sharpen your sword."

"Otherwise... I'm worried that your broken sword won't be able to cut the plum blossom at all!"

Mei Fangxi took a piece of cloth and wiped the sword blade, but didn't take Hua Manting's words seriously.

"You didn't answer my question."

Hua Manting pondered for a moment and said with a smile:

"When you were in Kyoto, you were someone's teacher."

Mei Fangxi was shocked. He had many disciples when he was in Kyoto, but what Hua Manting meant by this was definitely not the ordinary disciples he was talking about!

Who can go to Xishan?

He suddenly thought of a person, his eyes filled with disbelief: "This... is impossible!"

Hua Manting smiled again and said:

"Then just think that I don't like those peach blossoms in Xishan!"

Mei Fangxi raised her eyebrows and inserted the sword into the scabbard with a clang:

"Yesterday, I went to see Liu Zuo."

"Liu Zuo said that Zhongli Mansion has no intention of taking action against Li Chenan!"

"There is evidence for this!"

"If Zhongli Mansion wants to kill Li Chenan, the Divine Guards must have been secretly transferred to Xishan!"

"But the Divine Guards are still in Nanshan and have not moved at all!"

"And the person you are suspicious of, this makes no sense at all!"

"I think..."

Mei Fangxi frowned, looked at Hua Manting in confusion, and said, "Tell me, could it be that Fan Taohua changed her mind, or that the person she really wanted to kill was the eldest son of the emperor?"

"You said that the emperor's eldest son was born to Empress Lu and Ning Jingrong, but this is a secret after all."

"I'm afraid the name of the emperor's eldest son is included in the royal golden book managed by Taichang Temple."

"So the identity of the emperor's eldest son you mentioned... the officials in the court won't believe it, and the people of Ning Guo can't believe it either."

"He is still the legitimate successor of Ningguo!"

"I was just thinking, it's impossible for Ning Guo to create two emperors, right?"

"Then the eldest son of the emperor and Li Chen'an, one must die...one must die to benefit the stability of Ningguo!"

"Who died?"

"Your judgment is that Fan Taohua wants Li Chen to die, but now I feel that it is Fan Taohua who wants the eldest son of the emperor to die!"

"What do you think?"

Hua Manting listened carefully, the smile on her face did not disappear.

He poured two cups of tea, handed one cup to Mei Fangxi, and said with a smile:

"No matter what, it will be revealed when He Xishan reaches Xishan. There is no rush."

"Of course you're not in a hurry!"

Mei Fangxi curled her lips, "If there really is a fight in Xishan, I'm afraid my fate will be decided on that mountain!"

Hua Manting laughed:

"Xishan has very good Feng Shui, and there is also a Jishan Temple that is not very magical."

"If you really die in Xishan, I will bury you next to that temple."

Mei Fangxi glared at Hua Manting: "In the past, it would have been okay for me to die. Anyway, I have lived enough in this life, but now..."

Mei Fangxi stroked her long beard and said, "Now I suddenly want to live a few more years."

"Why?"

"I want to see Ning Guo's changes again."

After a pause, Mei Fangxi said again:

"For example, this autumn, how many students from Wenweng Academy can be named on the gold medal list?"

"For example, when recruiting scholars in Qiu Wei, will there still be those dirty and dirty things in the past?"

"This is the fairness of education... Since Li Chenan has abolished the recommendation system, which has many drawbacks, this is certainly a good thing for students all over the world."

"But if this scientific examination is not fair, good things will turn into bad things."

"The students were full of expectations, but the result was even more chilling... I'm afraid the consequences will be more serious!"

"Besides... I also want to see how the next new policy will be."

"It's mainly industrial and commercial, so I'm still very worried."

"Once the status of businessmen is improved, will there be a situation where everyone is chasing profits?"

"If it becomes like this, students will not be interested in their studies, farmers will not be interested in the fields, and soldiers will not be interested in the border... This will do more harm than good to the stability of the entire country!"

Hua Manting did not deny Mei Fangxi's words.

He even nodded and said:

"So he can't die!"

"This is why I insist that he must be emperor!"

"Definitely not for my daughter!"

"Although Wen Boiyu has the talent to govern the country, for the big policies like Li Chenan's, Wen Boiyu can only be an executor. He can't make better decisions because he doesn't know this path either.

Where will it take Ning Guo!"

"Only Li Chenan knows!"

"This road was designed by Li Chenan. He must be very aware of the thorns and bumps on the road."

"Only he can avoid your worries and make Ningguo rich without many social conflicts."

Hua Manting slowly stood up, took two steps, stood by the lotus pond, and looked up into the distance.

In the distance after the rain, there is a diffuse mist.

Naturally, the scenery in the distance cannot be seen clearly.

Just like the fate of Ningguo.

"I thought that only he could clear the clouds and see the sun, so that the bright sunshine could illuminate the road ahead of Ningguo!"

Mei Fangxi looked at Hua Manting's back and remained speechless for a long time.

He now understands Hua Manting's good intentions, but he doesn't understand Li Chenan as well as Hua Manting does, so he still has a skeptical attitude in his heart.

He knew that Li Chenan had planted a seed for Ning Guo.

He expected that this seed would bloom into a different kind of flower.

But he was also worried that the flower was poisonous or would not germinate at all.

This is an extremely contradictory state of mind.

This is the conflict between the old and the new ideas in his mind.

However, his mind is quite open-minded, and even if he has doubts, he still wants to give it a try.

Then Li Chenan really can’t die!

You must also become the emperor of Ningguo!

Then we can only do it as planned.

"Is this game of chess now coming to an end in Xishan?"

Hua Manting turned around, nodded, and the look on her face became serious:

"It's the end of a phase."

"But he is going to the Kingdom of Wu."

"That's the beginning of another game of chess!"

"In the Xishan situation, who are you with? Don't tell me it's Fan Taohua. I suspect that you and Fan Taohua are in the same group!"
