"The Zhaozhou riot is not a trivial matter, but it is not a big thing, the emperor is in a hurry to come to me, but he did not discuss with the ministers first, is he worried about the candidates to suppress the rebellion?"

Li Chu's face was not half anxious, on the other hand, Li Jingyao was worried, and his eyes were fixed on the urgent report in his hand: "This Zhaozhou is far away, and those elderly generals are afraid that they can't stand it, but this young one can't hold the scene, and the few I who can hold it have already sent them to guard the frontier or stay in the Western Capital, and now I really can't find any suitable people."

Li Jingyao sighed again as he spoke, and regretted: "I was negligent, I should have recruited more generals earlier, but now the situation in the world is very tense, how can I do without generals?" ”

"I think Li Wen, the son of the Ninth Prince, can take on this important responsibility." Li Chu met Li Jingyao's biased gaze and explained, "Li Wenneng is capable of literature and martial arts, and he is the age of blood and strength, he has been ignoring the government for so many years, and it is time to win him over." ”

Li Jingyao slowly got up, paced two steps, and hesitated: "I have already noticed him, but his father Liu Yan died in the battle of Huichuan after all, and it is difficult to guarantee that he is not loyal to me." At this time, he was given soldiers and horses, and if he directly raised troops to rebel, then ......"

Li Chu didn't think that Liu Wenlu would use his military power to raise troops to rebel, and paused and said: "If he had a rebellious heart, he would never have endured until now, I have known him for so many years, and I know his character best, and the last thing I believe in is that it is not too late for ten years." ”

"If he is willing to be used by me and contribute to me, I will naturally not treat him badly, but this is a bit risky."

I wanted to use this but didn't dare to use it, Li Jingyao's eyes became more and more anxious, and his brows became more and more frowned.

Li Chu glanced at him and said disapprerovitically: "What is the emperor afraid of, Liu Wenlu's family is staying in Xidu, does he dare to give birth to two hearts?" As long as the emperor's words showed a slight threat, I was afraid that he would have to carry his heart to it. ”

Li Jingyao's brows frowned tighter, his slightly narrowed eyes were extraordinarily deep, and after weighing it, he gritted his teeth and ordered Sheng Zhe to say, "Go and summon Li Wen quickly." ”

Li Jingyao sat slumped on the dragon chair, his whole person was tired, his eyes wandered around the mountains of twists and turns, and said with a wry smile: "Look at this recital, everyone in the world says that it is good to be an emperor, and they all dream of being an emperor, but who can understand the hardship of being an emperor?" ”

"The emperor and sages are the blessings of the people." Lichu sat on the spot, without a hint of extraordinary.

Li Jingyao straightened up suddenly, laughed heartily twice, and actually got up and sat next to Li Chu, and said with flying eyebrows: "Now that the people don't have to worry about eating and drinking, they don't have to worry about being displaced, I am really pleased, Chaozong, do you say that I am a good emperor?" ”

Li Chu was stunned by his question, how can he be considered a good emperor? For the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he may be, but what about the people who died because of the war?

Li Jingyao saw that he didn't reply for a long time, and he didn't even mean to praise perfunctory, so his eyes cooled and said: "The roots of corrupt officials and corrupt officials are too deep, and they can't be cleaned up in two or three days, but I will one day uproot them and return the people to a clear and prosperous era." ”

Li Chu came back to his senses, echoed a few words, and inadvertently mentioned several famous Southern Tang Dynasty poets, and when it came to poetry, the two talked happily, until Liu Wenlu came to ask to see, and then he got up.

"Uncle Nine Kings is here too?" Li Jingyao glanced at the people in front of the hall with a deep and shallow look.

"Yes, the minister thought that Wen'er hadn't seen the government for a long time, and he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing, so he came with him." The Nine Princes said politely, but it sounded like the emperor wanted to hurt Liu Wenlu.

"Uncle Nine Princes, you have thought too much, I ...... this time" Li Jingyao only spoke, and Sheng Zhi hurriedly ran into the palace again, "Your Majesty, the four princes ask to see you." ”

The fourth prince didn't know where to get the news, and he even rushed to see the driver, Li Jingyao frowned, and waved his hand to signal that Sheng Fold was gone.

He continued to say to the Nine Princes: "I just got the news, the riots in Zhaozhou, and now is the time to employ people, Li Wen is very outstanding among many young talents, his mind is so meticulous, and his martial arts are so strong, I am thinking about it......"

"Your Majesty, the fourth prince said that there are 100,000 urgent things to report." Sheng Fold went and returned, interrupting Li Jingyao's words.

"Xuan Xuan Xuan!" Li Jingyao was helpless and impatient.

Liu Wenlu and the Nine Princes exchanged glances, and both of them knew in their hearts that the emperor was planning to send Liu Wenlu to suppress the riot.

Liu Wenlu's heart moved, and he hurriedly raised his eyes to look at Li Chu, but when he saw that he had nothing to do with himself, he immediately didn't have any thoughts.

The fourth prince walked in a hurry, but his injured leg was not as flexible as he imagined, and he was shorter than ordinary people, so he looked very funny, like a lame donkey.

"Brother of the courtier, see the emperor." Before the person arrived, he hurriedly saluted, and when Li Jingyao said that he was exempt, he turned sharply and looked at Liu Wen Lu Dao, "Brother Huang, this kid Li Wen is suspicious, you can't let him leave the Western Capital." ”

The Ninth Prince was surprised when he heard this: "What suspicion?" I don't know, don't make any accusations. ”

"Uncle Jiuwang doesn't know yet, on the day the assassin of Dali Temple died violently, Li Wen also went, I don't know what Li Wen, who has nothing to do with Dali Temple, went to do there?" The fourth prince said and said to Li Jingyao, "You must wait for the matter to come to light, brother emperor." ”

Li Jingyao leaned back on the dragon chair, looked at him coldly with his eyes, and swept his eyes to Li Chu and said, "Speaking of which, what is the progress of this matter?" ”

The fourth prince looked at Li Chu in surprise when he heard this, his eyes were full of anger and murder, and he said hatefully: "How can the imperial brother hand over this matter to him to deal with, I can't guarantee that he has any partiality." ”

As if he hadn't heard it, Li Chu replied respectfully to Li Jingyao: "There is no progress, the people behind it are not leaking, and they can't even find any clues." ”

"Is it really impossible to find out, or is it deliberately harboring someone?" The fourth prince snorted coldly, his face full of sarcasm.

"There are a few palace maids in the Wanshou Hall who said that they have seen the dagger, and they have been thinking that more is better than less, and if they see it, they will only treat it as if they haven't seen it, and Leader Li should also know about it."

After Li Chu said this, he saw Liu Wenlu cast a surprised gaze, and staggered his gaze lightly.

"Yes, I already know." Li Jingyao nodded, looked at the fourth prince and said, "There is also news from Zhao Tianshu's side, the poison must have been caused by someone from Dali Temple, but Li Wen didn't contact anyone when he went that day, even if he wanted to send someone to poison him, he didn't have to go to Dali Temple in person, isn't this deliberately suspicious?" ”

"This ......" The fourth prince opened his face, and wanted to refute it, but he couldn't spit out half a word.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Li Jingyao pressed again, Li Chu's eyes flickered, and he hurriedly said, "Maybe the fourth prince is worried that Li Wen has no experience in leading troops, and that he is not up to the task. ”

The fourth prince was surprised why Li Chu suddenly spoke for himself, and was worried that he was a weasel uneasy and kind, and sure enough, the weasel continued: "In contrast, the fourth prince is more experienced, he can't help but be handsome and smart in life, and his prestige in the army should not be underestimated, so it is better for the fourth prince to go to Zhaozhou for Li Wen." ”

"It can be regarded as removing a hidden danger for the emperor and seeking a more stable world for the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty."

When Li Jingyao heard this, he really threw an expectant glance at the fourth prince, and the fourth prince shook his head in a panic and said, "Eh, I don't have the heart or the strength, General Wu is a good candidate, why don't you send General Wu?" ”

"Alright, don't talk about it." Li Jingyao didn't have the temperament to grind with him, and said in an aggravated tone, "It's so decided, Li Wen will lead the troops to Zhaozhou on the same day, if anyone has any objections, it will be a protest!" ”

Where was Liu Wenlu willing to go to Zhaozhou, he originally wanted to shirk it, but now seeing that Li Jingyao's attitude is so tough, it is difficult to shirk it, so he has to respond to it head-on.
