The railings are the railings of the restaurant, and the tables are the wine tables. The restaurant is the most famous and expensive Chenghu Restaurant in Kyoto. Of course, this place is used for eating. There are very few people who are qualified to eat with Tianhai Chengwu, and Xu Shiji happens to be one of them.
As the nominal future father-in-law of Chen Changsheng who is also well-known to the world, he now has mixed feelings about Chen Changsheng. Last year, the East Royal God General's Mansion was ridiculed by the whole continent because of the dishonored young Taoist priest from the countryside. However, how could he have thought that Chen Changsheng would be the Pope's favored successor? How could he have known that? This Daoist Ji is actually the former business director... Every time he thinks about this marriage contract, he will complain a lot to his father who has already returned to Xinghai. There are so many things hidden behind the marriage contract, why didn't you tell me clearly in advance
With complex perceptions and complex thoughts, Xu Shiji's attitude towards this marriage has also become somewhat elusive. When he received the invitation from the Tianhai Mansion yesterday, he thought that this master of the Tianhai family, who is known for his wily calculations, might just want to force him to marry him. He made his own statement, so when he came to Chenghu Tower, he basically kept silent, especially when Tian Haichengwu talked about Chen Changsheng.
Tianhai Chengwu glanced at him with a smile, as if he understood his thoughts completely, and continued indifferently: "Shengxue practiced diligently in the north, and raised his spirit with battle. He has successfully broken through the border and gathered stars, and he should return to Kyoto in the next year." Look at the Tianshu Monument again."
Xu Shiji didn't know why he suddenly mentioned Tianhai Shengxue, although Tianhai Shengxue was the best young man of the third generation of the Tianhai family, and one of the juniors most admired by the Holy Empress.
"During the imperial examination at the beginning of the year, no one could hide what Shengxue did, but this kid is a smart person, and he didn't try to hide it from anyone. Speaking of it, this should be regarded as a pretty good use of Yangmou... But to him I am still a little unhappy about doing things on my own. 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 individual ideas are meaningless. We must put all Only when the strength is gathered together can the whole family continue to walk on the right path, the so-called collapse of the nest... even the nest cannot be kept, and you still want to keep your own egg, isn't it ridiculous?"
Hearing Tianhai Chengwu's seemingly relaxed joke, Xu Shiji's heart became heavier. How could he not understand the implication of this sentence. The so-called correct path is, of course, the path that the Tianhai family wants to replace and continue to rule the human world. The so-called dissatisfaction with Tianhai Shengxue is of course actually a warning to him not to have too many other thoughts.
"My aunt hasn't said anything recently, so many people in the capital have misunderstood." Whether in the palace or in the court hall, Tianhai Chengwu always used honorific titles when referring to the Holy Empress, only in very private places, This is not a hidden reminder, but a naked show of strength. He turned and stared into Xu Shiji's eyes and said, "They have forgotten one thing. After all, my aunt's surname is Tianhai. Does she have the heart to look at the family?" All of them died?"
Xu Shiji knew he couldn't listen anymore, and said, "I don't understand why the Pope has remained silent."
This is of course referring to the most lively event in Kyoto recently, the battle between the Orthodox Academy and the other academies. Tianhai Chengwu suppressed his smile and said: "When everyone doesn't understand, then there must be 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 think His Excellency the Pope is trying to encourage the growth of seedlings."
Xu Shiji frowned slightly, thinking that his cheap son-in-law was recognized as calm and precocious, and he was about to touch the threshold of the Star Gathering Realm before he was sixteen years old. The Pope is still not satisfied with this, and you want him to mature faster
"Except for my aunt, who can understand His Holiness the Pope's mind?" Tian Hai Chengwu turned his head to look at the mist on the lake, and said slowly.
Xu Shiji didn't understand even more, and thought to himself, if the Pope wanted to sharpen Chen Changsheng through the Tianhai family and the new faction of state religion, why didn't the Tianhai family use real means
"From Meilisha to now, the Li Palace has been building up momentum for Chen Changsheng. If I want to go against the trend, I need to spend too much energy, so why don't I go with the trend? I'll make people go to state education all the time. The challenge of the academy, if Chen Changsheng can survive this period of time, his strength and ambition will be greatly improved, but what if he can't survive?"
A mocking smile appeared on Tianhai Chengwu's face, and he said, "I know what you're thinking, what many people are thinking, thinking that my Tianhai family keeps sending those people to challenge the Orthodox Academy to give sacrifices to Chen Changsheng , It's like adding firewood to a pile of bonfire, there is no way to suppress it, but 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 this fire continue to burn? Or, suddenly there is no firewood added to it, how soon will this fire that has been burning violently for so long be extinguished, or will it burn? The woods behind itself? Since the Li Palace wants to create 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 bear this kind of situation. The gap, will the Pope grind him into a pile of gravel directly!"
Xu Shiji raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Cooking oil with a blazing fire often ends in a bleak end, but...if the strong are really used in the end, I'm afraid Li Palace will come forward to stop it."
Tianhai Chengwu glanced at him, slightly sarcastic, thinking that he is still so fake at this time, and he doesn't know how his aunt chose you in the first place.
"There is one person... who can definitely defeat Chen Changsheng, and even the Pope can't find anything wrong with her, 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 Fenghuang'er will return to Beijing. Auntie's love for your Fenghuang'er is well known in the world. Li Gong wants to create momentum for Chen Changsheng. Why can't we create momentum for your Fenghuang'er?"
Xu Shiji knew that today's conversation had finally come to the most critical moment, so he was silent for a long time, and said, "After all, she is young, how can she afford the aftermath?"
Stopping the revival of the Orthodox Academy, and even using it to bring Chen Changsheng's papacy to an abrupt end, is not a big deal for his talented daughter. The problem is that behind the turmoil at the Orthodox Academy, The wrestling between the two saints was hidden, even though Xu Yourong was the reincarnation of Tianfeng, he was still underage, how could he withstand the wind and rain
"You have to be clear about one thing. From Zhou Tong to many people, it seems that they haven't done anything these days. In fact, they have been cooperating with that saint in the south."
Tianhai Chengwu looked at the misty lake, thinking about that matter, even though he was powerful and ruthless like him, he couldn't help but yearn for it, and said with emotion: "The confluence of the north and the south may really be possible this year. Under such a background, the pope and aunt are so calm, the two sides can only compete for power, it is inconvenient to implement, so you don't need to worry too much."
…
…
Withdrew and went downstairs.
People of status and status like Tianhai Chengwu and Xu Shiji naturally did not take the passage that ordinary guests take, but a special passage reserved for Chenghu Tower. No one thought that logically speaking, there would never be a Bie Dao where two groups of guests would meet, and today there were indeed two groups of guests.
Colliding with Tianhai Chengwu and Xu Shiji were three young people.
Three young men from the Orthodox Academy.
