Duke Guo of Qi pondered for a moment, and his face became serious.

"I think that although the Imperial City Division is a great weapon for the country, its reputation... is not good either in officialdom or among the people!"

"In other words, if people from the Imperial City Department are not on official business, they would not even dare to wear black clothes!"

"Because the people don't have much favorable impressions of their skin."

"In addition... in the more than 300 years of Ningguo's history, there have only been three occasions when a prince has held the post of Imperial City Secretary."

"Those three princes have no chance of being in the East Palace, let alone that chair."

"I shouldn't have said this, but..."

Duke Guo of Qi lowered his voice and leaned over, "You are Queen Lu's son!"

"The current prince is too kind!"

"The second prince is too powerful!".o

"The third prince...even though he is the youngest, he is also the smallest and most jealous. He is just like his mother and concubine!"

"So, for the sake of national peace, I think it would be better for you not to get too involved with the Imperial City Secretary!"

"The emperor has given you three positions, and there are three ways for me to come here!"

"Sir, this is to let you know more about government affairs. Perhaps the emperor also wants you to do something dazzling in the Supervision Department. I think this is a right path! It may reach the sky!"

"Dr. Taiyuan, you have the talent of poetry and are recognized as the number one talent in the country. Of course, teaching is your second path, but this path is the smoothest and easiest to walk, and you can live an easy life."

"As for the promotion of the Deputy of the Imperial City Department...if you go deep into it and spend the most energy on the Imperial City Department, then the emperor will definitely give the Imperial City Department to you, and you will become a knife for the new emperor!"

"If the new emperor is the current Crown Prince, your sword can still do something."

"If the new emperor is the other two... I may not say it nicely, you may not have a good life in the future!"

The Duke of Qi spoke eloquently.

Of course, there are many things that should not be said.

But Qi Guogong still said it.

Li Chenan also understood the meaning of Qi Guogong's heartfelt words——

This old prince deserves him so much!

He actually thinks that Ning Guo’s future should be in his hands!

He suddenly remembered the night when he had a banquet at Duke Cheng's mansion. Duke Cheng had also talked to him a lot. At that time, he hoped that he would stay in Kyoto. He said it was for Ning Guo.

In Li Chenan's heart, he has no such lofty ideal of fighting for Ningguo.

He hoped to go to the Imperial City Division more often and become familiar with the Imperial City Division as soon as possible, simply because the conflict with Ji Tai had now been made clear.

Ji Tae won't let him live an easy life.

He won't make it easy for Ji Tae either.

Then the Imperial City Division is obviously the best choice at the moment.

But it cannot be said that the Duke of Qi is unaware of the current situation. Such an old Duke must be very aware.

It's just that his long-term plan is more long-term. He has directly ignored Ji Tai, and what he wants is Ning Guo's future.

"Grandpa Qi's words will be remembered in my heart."

Li Chenan thought about his words because he couldn't let people's good intentions slip away.

"For such a big thing as Ning Guo's future, let's not hide it from my two grandfathers. I haven't thought about it that much yet."

"Hearing what Grandpa Qi said today made me suddenly enlightened, but..."

He suddenly turned his head Zhongli Ruoshui, his eyes full of tenderness.

"I think Grandpa Qi and the boy can say these sincere words when they first met. The boy is very grateful to Grandpa Qi for his trust and respect for the boy."

"I still think we should get over the first hurdle before talking about anything else."

"In addition, I am afraid that I will disappoint the two grandfathers. In my eyes, neither that chair nor this country is as important to me as Ruoshui!"

"So you can get to know me better. In fact, I am... relatively lazy. My desire for power is far less strong than my desire to make money."

"So in the coming days, I will still go to the Imperial City Department, and I will also go to the Supervision Department. I can't let those students be disappointed in me at the Imperial College."

"Then let's be busy for a while."

"What I hope is that I will be able to relieve myself of these burdens when I am busy enough to confer the first title on Ji Tai, because I have more important things to do!"

Qi Guogong and Cheng Guogong both looked at Li Chenan at this time. Their eyes were not disappointed, but rather confused:

"Is there anything more important than the country?"

Zhongli Ruoshui spoke at this time.

"I'm afraid the two grandpas don't know that my illness... has not been cured."

"This winter will be a bumpy one."

"If you can make it through, you may be able to live a few more days. If you can't make it..."

Zhongli Ruoshui raised his eyes to Li Chenan, with a gentle look on his face.

"If he can't cross it, he will be free!"

Duke Qi and Cheng were startled. Duke Qi frowned and asked, "I remember that you were in danger once when you were five years old, but didn't you hear your grandma say that Dr. Sun has cured you?"

Zhongli Ruoshui shook his head, "I thought it was cured, but grandma called me from Guangling City to Kyoto and I realized that it was not cured."

Cheng Guogong took a deep breath, stroked his long beard, and asked: "Is the medicine easy to prepare? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhongli Ruoshui shook his head again: "Mr. Sun was assassinated because of two of the medicines... Just let it be your fate."

Only then did the two princes realize that the more important thing Li Chenan was talking about was that he would accompany Zhongli Ruoshui on his last journey in the days to come.

God is so blind!

What Duke Qi said tonight was not without purpose.

Although this was his first meeting with Li Chenan, and these words sounded a bit sudden, in fact, he said them after careful consideration and a lot of understanding of Li Chenan.

He is very clear about the character of the three princes who are the current emperor. As far as he is concerned, those three princes are far inferior to Li Chenan's ability!

This skill is not about brewing the painting spring.

It’s Li Chenan’s twenty years of forbearance!

Twenty years is enough to sharpen a sword!

This sword should be sharp enough to cut through thorns and give the Ningguo temple a new look.

This sword is also tough enough, but Xu Tuzhi will not break due to being too strong.

Ning Guo is now extremely ill, but cannot use too strong medicine, because if the medicine is too strong, the entire Ning Guo government at all levels will collapse in an instant.

As a result, Ningguo will inevitably fall into civil strife, and it will inevitably provide the enemy with the best opportunity.

The dose needs to be just right.

It happened that the person who saved Li Chenan was Mr. Chunfu.

It just so happens that Li Chenan will be the uncle of Dingguo Houfu.

Whether in the temple or in the military, he has powerful helpers.

Only he can write about the Spring and Autumn Period with a pen in one hand, and level the world with a sword in the other!

"If water is a disease, it must be cured!"

"But the road under your feet...I hope it won't stop!"

"Everything is man-made. Tomorrow I will go to the palace to ask the emperor for medicine!"

"You have to think carefully about the three paths before you!"
