After a while, a poem with a dragon and a snake written on it appeared on the rice paper.
“Young Master’s calligraphy is simply superb!”
"One stroke after another is vigorous and powerful, well-proportioned, between fast and slow, almost all of them are wonderful!"
"Especially the meaning expressed in the poem..."
At first, Xiao Rong and others were just amazed at Ye Chen's calligraphy. When they carefully figured out the meaning of the poem, their expressions suddenly changed.
The poems written by Ye Chen are as follows:
The emperor's death is a turbulent time, and the five stars are still in chaos;
When Nanlang comes into the middle, the world will be in good health.
The meaning expressed in this poem is actually not profound.
Anyone who has some knowledge of the situation in the Imperial Capital will be involved immediately.
The first sentence of the emperor's death must refer to the fact that after the death of Emperor Qingwu, the entire imperial capital was in turmoil and its future was uncertain.
The second sentence of "Five Stars Chaos Weiyang" roughly means that the five princes competed for the throne and plunged the imperial capital into chaos.
As for the last two sentences, "When Nanlang comes to the middle, the world will be well", it should refer to a certain person from the south who can calm the storm in the imperial capital.
For the Nangong royal family and the empire's senior officials, this is simply a rebellion!
Once it spreads, the consequences will be disastrous.
However, what makes others even more frightened is yet to come...
After writing such a poem, Ye Chen then drew a painting.
The artistic conception of the painting is profound and the quality of the painting is hazy.
It is roughly a landscape painting, with a scorching sunset on the mountain, five stars hanging in the sky, and a young man coming with a sword, high-spirited and looking down at the heroes.
"Does this painting correspond to this poem?"
"Yes, the death of the emperor in the poem should correspond to the scorching sun falling into the Western Mountains; and the five stars hanging in the sky should correspond to the five stars in the poem; as for Nanlang, he should be the young man with the sword in the painting."
"What exactly does Mr. Ye want to express?"
"Why did you write this poem and this painting?"
"If it reaches the eyes of the princes, I'm afraid it will be classified as a taboo!"
After understanding what Ye Chen meant, everyone was frightened.
If such rebellious poems and paintings were to reach the eyes of the Nangong royal family, they would definitely be regarded as a provocation and blasphemy against the imperial power.
"You don't have to worry!"
Seeing what everyone was thinking, Ye Chen explained: "This poem and this painting, instead of bringing us any trouble, will make me famous in the imperial capital in one fell swoop and attract the attention of all forces!
"
"So it turns out that Nanlang in the poem and the sword-wielding boy in the painting allude to you yourself?"
Jin Lin finally realized it later.
"good!"
Ye Chen nodded and said mysteriously: "Although it is a rumor, as long as I can make the rumor come true little by little, it will be regarded as a prophecy or even an oracle by everyone!"
"But how can Master do this?"
Jin Lin frowned.
"First adapt the poem into a song and distribute it!"
Ye Chen ordered: "Of course, you can't spread it from here, otherwise it will be easy for people to see that I am directing and acting on my own. I need to put some thought into starting from other places. When the time comes, I will make the rumors come true one after another, and it will come true."
Got it!"
"This...sister Yuxiang and I will come up with a solution!"
Xiao Rong just pondered for a moment and seemed to have thought of a way. She smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir, we are now the shopkeepers of Tianlaizhiyin. With the connections we have now, we want to adapt this poem into poetry and spread it in other places."
, it’s still very easy!”
"Well, then I'll leave this matter to you!"
Ye Chen nodded, and then looked at Zhang Fan, "You go back first, take whatever step you can do. If you can't complete it by yourself, I will help you later!"
"Yes, that villain will leave first!"
Zhang Fan responded and stepped back respectfully.
"Then I'll leave first!"
Li Qingqing didn't dare to stay. He hugged Ye Chen and stepped away.
"Miss Li, please stay!"
Just as he turned around, Ye Chen suddenly shouted.
"Young Master, do you have any other instructions?"
Li Qingqing said in surprise.
Zhang Fan also heard it, but because Ye Chen didn't call him, he could only retreat silently.
"If you have any difficulties in the future, or if you don't understand anything about alchemy, you can always come and ask me!"
Ye Chen said with a smile.
The so-called courtesy reciprocity!
The other party has helped him many times, so naturally he has to give back.
"Thank you, sir!"
Li Qingqing was overjoyed.
In fact, when she approached Ye Chen, in addition to being proud to help Ye Chen, she also really wanted to get Ye Chen's guidance on alchemy.
In addition, she has always wanted to find a medicine.
It's just that more than three heavenly masters, not even the national master Zhang Tianyi, can refine this kind of elixir.
Therefore, Ye Chen has almost become her only hope.
"So what do you need my help with now?"
Ye Chen asked at the right time.
"This... let's talk about it later!"
Li Qingqing pondered for a moment and said: "There is no rush anyway. When the time is right, I will ask the young master for help!"
It's not that she didn't want to raise it immediately, but it was just that she had just gained Ye Chen's approval, so she raised a lot of difficult questions, which might cause Ye Chen's rejection.
Even if Ye Chen is willing to help her, he will regard her as a villain who is eager for quick success.
This is what she doesn't want to see.
"That's fine!"
Ye Chen nodded, "If you need anything, you can just ask at any time. As long as I can do it, I won't refuse!"
"Yes, then I will resign first!"
Li Qingqing said no more, bowed to Ye Chen, and retreated with satisfaction.
"How are you going to help the fifth prince fight for the throne?"
After Zhang Fan and Li Qingqing left, Li Fengyu frowned and said, "Even if you start to form your own power now, the battle for the throne is already in full swing. Don't you think it's a little late to start developing it now?"
"not late!"
Ye Chen shook his head, "Zhang Fan may not be of much help, but I already have a pivotal position in the Imperial Preceptor's Office, and I have the support of this neutral force!"
"Secondly..."
He smiled mysteriously and added: "As long as my poem and painting work, I will have a way to change everything in one fell swoop!"
"How do you decide the outcome in one fell swoop?"
Li Fengyu asked curiously.
"You will know later!"
Ye Chen did not explain, but just said: "Since everything is ready, let's go to the second prince's mansion to see the situation. I hope they don't make any mistakes!"
…
Not long after, the second prince's residence.
"Master Ye, you are finally back!"
"Brother Ye, how is things going?"
Ye Chen, Jin Lin, and Li Fengyu had just returned when Nangong Qin and Nangong Mingyue eagerly greeted them.
"Everything is fine, how are you doing here?"
Ye Chen did not elaborate on what he had done, but instead asked about the other party's condition.
Although he was doing his best to plan for the throne, if people like Nangong Qin did nothing or held back, everything he did would be meaningless even if he had extraordinary abilities.
