"Li Hongji is dead!" Zhou Xian's tone couldn't hide the surprise, "The news that Zhou Duan sent from Xuzhou. ”

Li Yu put down the book in his hand, stood up immediately, glanced at the letter in Zhou Xian's hand, walked over and didn't care about etiquette at all, and grabbed it directly. Li Yu's face turned sickly red, and he seemed to be happy, but after all, the person who died was his own brother, so he didn't laugh, but put on a serious face.

He quickly skimmed through it, looked up and said, "Died of a violent illness?" I remember that Li Hongji was in very good health, and three months ago he was able to ride a horse and lead the troops, unlike a sick person...... Is that week's news reliable? ”

"He is a member of the clan, and he is far from my family, but he used to come to my house often to borrow books, and he is a very diligent and studious literati." Zhou Xian groaned, "Others' evaluation of him is also of good character, and now he has joined the Zhou Dynasty as an official, not like a person who talks about it." ”

Li Yu groaned: "But he did die a little strangely. ”

Zhou Xian's cheeks suddenly turned slightly red, and he said softly: "Since Li Hongji has died, Ah Weng (Li Jing) should be reinstated, and we can go back to the Southern Tang Kingdom." ”

Li Jing is still good to Zhou Xian, Zhou Xian was first favored by Li Jing back then; Then Li Jing admired her very much, so he married her to his favorite son Li Yu. As long as Li Jing is in power, Zhou Xian and her husband will live well in the Southern Tang Congress.

But the cause of Li Hongji's death made Zhou Xian have to guess: it may have been eliminated. Even if he has become the lord of the country, if the people of the Manchu Dynasty abandon him, it is not very difficult for him to "die of a violent illness", and no one is willing to strictly investigate the responsibility.

Sure enough, Li Yu also said: "I didn't get sick earlier, but I was threatened by the Zhou Dynasty to get sick and die violently." He is stubborn and self-serving, and he is not allowed to be rejected by both inside and outside, and he is really self-defeating! ”

Zhou Xian was slightly distracted, Guo Shao's words in the hall were like in his ears: The ministers of the Southern Tang Kingdom are mainly rebellious, as if they are plotting rebellion! If you don't regain Li Jing's position, I will ask for an order to lead a large army to suppress the border in the coming day, so that you will regret it!

Zhou Xian thought of this, afraid that Li Yu would find out that he was distracted, so he immediately said quietly: "The Zhou Dynasty is temporarily stable in the country, they need to go to war with the outside world to establish prestige and authority, and the ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty have many far-sighted people, it is impossible not to think of such a thing; They were afraid that the Zhou Dynasty would use this excuse to become famous and take the lead in attacking the Southern Tang Dynasty. ”

"Emperor E is right." Li Yu said, "But I don't know who took the lead in doing it, and I am not small." ”

Zhou Xian suddenly felt a little suffocated, as if some huge mysterious power was covering the surroundings. It's not the power of the bow, but the kind of ...... that can't be seen or touched. Will! His will can affect a country, and his every word and action is full of great power.

……

Within a few days, sure enough, an envoy from the Southern Tang Dynasty arrived in Tokyo and sent Li Jing's personal letter to the Rite Hall on the way. This next week, Zhou Xian and his wife completely confirmed the major events that happened in Jinling, and Li Hongji really died violently.

The lord of the country, Li Jing, wrote a letter himself, stating that he had sent envoys to welcome Li Yu and others back to China and asked them to make some preparations.

Li Yu's attention shifted, and he was immersed in the joy of returning to China, and he hadn't been staring too much at Zhou Xian in the past few days. Zhou Xian can fully understand his excitement: Li Jing has a total of seven sons, the second son has been dead for a few years, and now Li Hongji is also dead, and among the remaining five sons, Li Jing's favorite is the sixth son Li Yu; In addition, after Li Hongji's mutiny, Li Yu would rather flee than follow Li Hongji as the lord of the country, and showed his support for his father with his actions. As long as the husband returns to China, it is very likely that he will be made the crown prince.

Power, Li Yu said what he wanted. Being the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty is the greatest power he can get.

The lord of a country, at least in the Southern Tang Dynasty, is very respected. But Zhou Xian couldn't say why, he always felt that the lord of the Southern Tang Kingdom did not have the momentum of awe, because someone rode on his head and wantonly bullied and intimidated; Looking at the big picture, it's simply undignified.

Zhou Xian didn't have much respect in his heart, but he thought: At least the husband is the most powerful in the Southern Tang Kingdom, which is enough to deter the local heroes and protect the safety of the Zhou family.

In the afternoon of the same day, someone came to the hall to deliver the letter, claiming to be a person sent by Zhou Duan, and only handed it to Zhou Xian. Zhou Xian came out and took the letter, and went into the house and tore open the envelope to see what news Zhou Duan had.

Li Yu didn't ask her much recently, but Zhou Xian was inexplicably a little relaxed, and he didn't have to pay attention to his words and deeds all the time.

As soon as she opened the envelope, her brow furrowed slightly, because the handwriting was really not very good. Look at the content again, neat and neat small block ...... Zhou Xian suddenly got up and gently closed the door and walked to the warm pavilion. Guo Shao's letter!

The letter asked her if she would like to stay in Tokyo. If you wish, send someone to contact him today, and if you don't, don't bother.

Zhou Xian's chest suddenly rose and fell, and he looked at it again. Thinking about it may be that Guo Shao wrote with his left hand in order to avoid the handwritten letter from falling into the hands of others, so he is a little deliberately unfamiliar with each stroke like this.

Staying in Tokyo, Zhou Xian was indeed a little impulsive for a while......

Guo Shao's tone in the letter is still the same: Madam, please take a long-term view, the unification of the world is the trend of the times, and the Southern Tang Dynasty will eventually cease to exist; Rather than being captured later, why not stay in Tokyo now? Stay now, and the status of the lady will be very different.

Although he wrote this, he finally asked her if she wanted to, and gave her enough respect.

Zhou Xian really thinks that Guo Shao is very special, if it is someone else, and he has a chance to fall in love with her, does he care if she is willing? Even if it was Li Yu, He had asked her if she was willing...... Of course, Zhou Xian didn't think that her husband should ask, but Guo Shao made her think of her "will".

She walked quietly back and forth in the bedroom for a long time, and her mood was indeed a little tangled. But the answer is already there: if she had a choice, she wouldn't stay in Tokyo.

Because some considerations are very obvious: if she stays in Tokyo, she will be infamous on her back, and the Zhou family in the Southern Tang Kingdom will also be affected. Not only will her conscience be condemned, but Li Yu and the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Tang Kingdom will directly accuse her on the surface...... It's a bit too much to take the initiative to abandon her husband and vote for someone else.

Moreover, the Southern Tang Kingdom may not necessarily perish immediately, if it is so easy, the Southern Tang Kingdom will not be able to exist in this war-torn world for decades. Zhou Xian admits that he is still not exempt from vulgarity, and cares about face and status. As long as Li Yu is the lord of the country, she is the queen; What's so bad about being frank and?

But Guo Shao is really willing to let go? Zhou Xian was also a little worried about this, if he really wanted to force ...... She suddenly didn't want to die a little, if only two months ago she would rather die than stoop to serve the people she hated.

If he was forcibly stayed, he cursed in front of his husband and swore to die. Zhou Xian felt very ashamed, why were those never-separated mountain alliances and sea oaths so fragile...... If her husband betrays her, she can complain a few words sadly, but now it's good, I always feel that I will betray.

The entangled feelings of shame and self-blame can only be experienced by Zhou Xian himself.
