Although Li Ke went south to Yangzhou this time, he was an official, he should have no worries about his life. However, when his son traveled thousands of miles, how could Concubine Yang not worry about him?

Concubine Yang called Li Ke into the palace, and after hearing the words, he carefully explained many things, so he allowed Li Ke to leave the palace and return home.

Li Ke left Zhaoqing Hall, and from Hanguang Gate left the imperial city, he went straight to the Chu Palace. When Li Ke rode his horse back to the palace, he just arrived outside the palace gate and heard the guards of the royal palace leading a message, and a young man greeted Cen Wenben's famous post.

Cen Wenben was appointed as the chief minister of the King of Chu Palace and was a minister of Li Ke. However, Li Ke and Cen Wenben were named monarchs and ministers, but they were actually masters and disciples. Cen Wenben treated Li Ke as his own sons and nephews. Li Ke treated Cen Wenben very respectfully.

When Li Ke heard someone holding Cen Wenben's famous post for a visit, he thought Cen Wenben had something important to tell him, without any negligence, and immediately went to the side hall where the royal palace met.

When Li Ke came to the door of the side hall and looked up, sure enough, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy was sitting in the side hall.

The young man looked beautiful, had red lips and white teeth, and was wearing a cloth robe. He was dressed simply. Although he did not show his wealth, he looked quite scholarly and Confucian at first glance, and was definitely not a child raised by ordinary people.

"Father, I have been staying in the palace for some time and asked my son to wait for a long time." As soon as Li Ke entered the side hall, he bowed to the young man sitting in the hall.

The young man heard Li Ke's voice and looked up. Although he had never seen Li Ke before, he did not know Li Ke's identity when he saw Li Ke wearing a prince's robe.

The young man quickly stood up and said, "Grassip, greet Your Highness."

Li Ke stepped forward, helped the young man up in person, and asked with a smile: "The young master came here at the order of Master Cen, but I wonder what Master Cen has to give?"

The young man took out Cen Wenben's famous post from his arms and handed it to Li Ke, and said to Li Ke: "Caomin is ordered by his uncle to come to the royal palace to serve His Highness."

After hearing the boy's words, Li Ke was slightly stunned and slowly began to think about it in his mind.

Cen Wenben is both Li Ke’s mentor and Li Ke’s planner. Li Ke naturally has a very good understanding of Cen Wenben.

Cen Wenben was the second son of Cen, the former minister of the Yu tribe of the Sui Dynasty. His brother was Cen Wenshu, the clerk, and his younger brother was Secretary Cen Wenzhao.

Cen Wenzhao is only nearly thirty years old and has been married for less than ten years. Cen Wenzhao's son cannot be so old, so the young man in front of him will only be Cen Wenzhao's son.

Uncle Cen Wen died in his early years and was no longer alive. Uncle Cen Wenben took his son by Cen Wenben and raised him personally, treating him as if he was born.

Li Ke listened to the boy in front of him and guessed who the boy was eighty-minute.

Li Ke asked, "Are you the nephew of the Commander Cen Changqian?"

Cen Changqian looked surprised when he heard Li Ke's words. He had never reported his name before. Unexpectedly, Li Ke knew who he was?"

Cen Changqian asked, "Your Highness knows that his name is right?"

Li Ke smiled and said, "Mr. Cen once mentioned the sons of the Cen clan of Jiyang with me. The one whom Master Cen praised the most is you. How could I not know about it?"

At the end of last year, when Cen Wenben was chatting with Li Ke in the royal palace, Li Ke mentioned that he was depressed by studying in the mansion alone, and wanted to ask Cen Wenben to recommend a Cen family's son to study with him. Li Ke once heard the name Cen Changqian from Cen Wenben.

When Cen Wenben mentioned Cen Changqian, he praised her a lot, even far above his son Cen Manqian.

This time, Li Ke is about to go south to Yangzhou soon. Cen Wenben must have remembered what Li Ke once said to him, so he ordered Cen Changqian to come and find Li Ke and join the royal palace to serve.

However, Li Ke's understanding of Cen Changqian is not limited to Cen Wenben's words. Li Ke naturally knew Cen Changqian, a famous minister who was a powerful official in the Wuzhou Dynasty for decades and was loyal to Li Tang, and once became the right prime minister.

Whether it was out of trust in Cen Wenben or what Li Ke knew, he was curious and attached enough to Cen Changqian, although Cen Changqian in front of him was just a boy three years younger than him.

Li Ke said to Cen Changqian: "Young Master is here for the first time, and if you are in a high position, you may not be able to conquer the crowd. I want to regard your son as the literature of the King of Chu's Mansion. I wonder if you are willing to surrender?"

Although Cen Changqian had known that his uncle Cen Wenben was the confidant of the King of Chu and was highly valued by the King of Chu, he never expected that Li Ke would actually speak up as the literary position of the King of Chu Mansion, which really shocked him. This was just a famous post by Cen Wenben.

Cen Changqian hurriedly said, "Your Highness is so proud of Caomin. Caomin is a young man. However, he is a little familiar with literature. How dare he be the official position of the seventh rank literature? Caomin only wishes that the attendant who follows His Highness is following him, so why do you need an official position?"

Li Ke naturally knew what Cen Changqian meant.

Cen Changqian has no achievements, but Cen Wenben's nephew. If Li Ke is valued just because of Cen Wenben's relationship, it will inevitably cause criticism from others, and it will be difficult for Li Ke to do it.

However, although Cen Changqian is still a young man with little talent, Li Ke is very clear about his talent. It would be worth it if he was just a seventh-rank Chu Prince's Mansion literature that could keep Cen Changqian by his side.

Li Ke insisted: "As Brother Changqian has joined my disciple, I will give you a position. My intention is gone, so Brother Changqian doesn't have to refuse."

—————————————————

Cen Changqian joined Li Ke's disciple. It should have been attracted by Cen Wenben himself, but this time Cen Wenben ordered Cen Changqian to come to pay homage with his own name. Of course, it was not that he was disrespectful, but that he had other important things.

Just when Cen Changqian appeared in Li Ke's mansion, Cen Wen was wearing casual clothes and visited his old friend Yuan Tiangang in Xuandu, the south of the city.

"Brother Yuan is so straight. My disciple was sitting in the hall and was sent to the southeast very well. You have to give me an explanation." Cen Wenben had a close relationship with Yuan Tiangang and did not have so much concern. He came up and told Yuan Tiangang.

Yuan Tiangang said: "Brother Cen blamed me wrongly. Today, Bai Hong Guan Ri's appearance is just based on facts, and there is no falsehood."

Wang Xuance said: "A strange phenomenon is a strange phenomenon, and it doesn't matter whether it should be in the southeast. But today's court officials used this matter to attack Your Highness and forced Your Highness to let go. Why didn't Brother Yuan say a fair word?"

Yuan Tiangang listened to Wang Xuance's words and said to Wang Xuance: "The strange phenomenon of the white rainbow running through the sun should be in the southeast. The reason why I didn't tell at a glance was because what the ministers said was exactly what I thought."

What Yuan Tiangang said was exactly what Wang Xuance was worried about. Wang Xuance hurriedly asked: "Brother Yuan Dao wants His Highness to go to the southeast to break the strange phenomenon of the white rainbow piercing the sun?"

Yuan Tiangang replied: "The white rainbow runs through the sun, chaos is in the southeast, and disaster may spread half of the wall of Shenzhou, which is beyond the reach of people."

When Wang Xuance heard this, he looked worried and asked, "Is this really related to Your Highness?"
