Chapter 40: Encounter at Chenghu Tower
The railing is the railing of a restaurant, and the table is the wine table. The restaurant is the most famous and most expensive Chenghu Building in Kyoto. Of course, it is used for dinner. There are very few people who are qualified to accompany Tianhai Chengwu to have dinner, and Xu Shiji happens to be one of them.
As the future father-in-law of Chen Changsheng, who is nominally known to the world, his view of Chen Changsheng is very complicated now. Last year, the Dongyu Shenzong Mansion was ridiculed by the entire continent because this young Taoist priest from the countryside was made of dust. However, he would never have thought in advance that Chen Changsheng would be the successor who was optimistic about the pope. How could he know that the Taoist wise man was the once extremely glorious President Shang... Whenever he thought of this engagement, he would complain about his father who had already returned to Xinghai. There were so many things hidden behind the engagement, so why didn't you explain it to me clearly in advance?
The viewing was complicated and the mind was naturally complicated. Xu Shiji's attitude towards this marriage became a bit elusive. When he received an invitation from Tianhai Mansion yesterday, he thought that the head of the Tianhai family, who is known for his scheming, might have to force himself to express his opinion. So after coming to Chenghu Tower, he basically remained silent, especially when Tianhai Chengwu talked about Chen Changsheng.
Tianhai Chengwu looked at him with a smile, as if he was completely aware of his thoughts, and continued indifferently: "Shengxue practices diligently in the north, and uses war to improve his intentions. He has successfully broken through the realm and gathered stars. He should return to Kyoto after the New Year to watch the Heavenly Book Monument."
Xu Shiji didn't know why he suddenly mentioned Tianhai Shengxue, although Tianhai Shengxue is the third generation of the Tianhai family and one of the younger generations that the Holy Queen Mother admires the most.
"When the Great Court Trial at the beginning of the year, no one could hide what Shengxue did, but this child was a smart man and didn't want to hide it from anyone. Speaking of which, this should be considered a pretty good use of the conspiracy... But I was still a little unhappy about him doing his own things. A family is too big, and people in it will inevitably have their own judgments and ideas. However, if the family is under pressure, those separate ideas are meaningless. We must gather all the powers together to ensure that the entire family continues to walk on the right path. The so-called collapse of the nest... Even the nest cannot be saved. Isn't it a funny thing to still want to keep your egg?"
Listening to Tianhai Chengwu's seemingly relaxed joke, Xu Shiji felt even heavier. How could he not understand the meaning of this passage? The so-called correct path is of course the way that the Tianhai family wants to take Chen and continue to rule the human world. The so-called dissatisfaction with Tianhai Shengxue is, of course, actually a warning to him, don't have too many other thoughts.
"My aunt hasn't said anything recently, so many people in Kyoto have misunderstandings." Whether in the palace or in the court, Tianhai Chengwu used respectful titles when he mentioned the Holy Queen, and only in a very private place can he call her aunt. This is not a hidden reminder, but a naked show of power. He turned around and stared at Xu Shiji's eyes and said, "But they forgot a little bit. After all, her aunt's surname is Tianhai. Does she have the heart to see everyone in her family die?"
Xu Shiji knew that he could not listen anymore and said, "I don't understand why the Pope has been silent."
Of course, this is about the most lively thing in Kyoto recently, the battle between the National Education College and the other colleges. Tianhai Chengwu curled his smile and said, "When everyone doesn't understand, it must have a deep meaning... I always feel that the Pope is using this method to make Chen Changsheng mature as soon as possible, and sometimes I even feel that the Pope is trying to help grow."
Xu Shiji frowned slightly, thinking that his cheap son-in-law is recognized as calm and precocious. He is almost touching the threshold of the Star Realm when he is less than sixteen years old, and it is unprecedented. No one can match his own baby daughter. The Pope is not satisfied with this, and he wants him to mature faster?
"Who can understand the Pope's intention except my aunt?" Tian Hai Chengwu turned his head and looked at the faint mist on the lake and said slowly.
Xu Shiji was even more confused and thought that if the Pope wanted to hone Chen Changsheng through the Tianhai family and the new national religion forces, why did the Tianhai family never use real means?
"From Meilisha and until now, Li Gong has always been building momentum for Chen Changsheng. If I want to go against the trend, it takes too much effort, so why don't I go with the trend? I will let people go to the National Education College to challenge. If Chen Changsheng can survive this period, he will probably have a great improvement in his strength and mind, but what if he can't hold on?"
Tianhai Chengwu had a sarcastic smile on his face and said, "I know what you are thinking, and many people are thinking. I think my Tianhai family constantly sends those people to the National Education College to challenge, and is giving sacrifices to Chen Changsheng. It is like adding firewood to a bonfire. There is no way to extinguish it. Instead, it will make the fire burn more and more fiercely. But have you ever thought that if one day a big tree suddenly falls, can the fire continue to burn? Or
Suddenly, no firewood was added to it. How short will this pile of fire that had been burning violently for such a long time be extinguished, or will it burn the wood behind it? Since Ligong wants to build momentum, I will help them push the momentum to the highest point and then let him collapse. At that time, I want to see how Chen Changsheng can still withstand this gap. Will the Pope's tempering on him be directly ground into a pile of sand?
Xu Shiji raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "The fire cooking oil will end up in a miserable end, but... If the strong ones are really used in the end, I am afraid that Li Gong will come forward to stop him."
Tian Hai Chengwu glanced at him, thinking that he was still so fake at this time, and he didn't know how his aunt chose you.
"There is a person... that can be sure to defeat Chen Changsheng, and even the Pope cannot pick out any inappropriate places, because she is younger than Chen Changsheng, and she has not yet succeeded in gathering stars." He looked at Xu Shiji and said lightly: "In a few days, your Fenghuanger will be back to Beijing. My aunt's favor for your Fenghuang is known to the world. If you want to build momentum for Chen Changsheng, why can't we build momentum for your Fenghuanger?"
Xu Shiji knew that today's conversation had finally come to the most critical moment. He was silent for a long time and said, "After all, she is young, how can she afford to take on the aftermath?"
Stopping the momentum of the revival of the National Education College and even using it to make Chen Changsheng's Pope's journey to abruptly end is not a big deal for his genius daughter. The problem is that behind this storm in the National Education College, there is a struggle between two saints. Even though Xu Yourong is the reincarnation of Tianfeng, he is still underage, how can he withstand those storms?
"You have to be clear about one thing. From Zhou Tong to many people, you seem to have done nothing these days, but you are actually doing things that you have been cooperating with the saint in the south.
Tianhai Chengwu looked at the vast lake and thought about that matter. Even though he was a high-ranking and cold-hearted person, he couldn't help but yearn for it, and said with emotion: "The convergence between the north and the south may really be possible this year. It is in this context that the Pope and his aunt will be so calm that they can only compete for the situation and it is inconvenient to implement it, so you don't need to worry too much."
Retreat the seat and go downstairs.
People with status like Tianhai Chengwu and Xu Shiji naturally follow the passage not by ordinary guests, but by a special way that Chenghu Tower has reserved. No one expected that in theory, there would never be a different way that two groups of guests met. Today, two groups of guests met.
Three young people collided with Tianhai Chengwu and Xu Shiji.
