It was already evening when Zhao Zheng returned to the protocol, Jinling City was lit up, and the Qinhuai River was full of light.

Because of the wealth, because of the celebration of the birthday of the lord, the people of Jinling today are particularly happy, everywhere is full of lights, singing, dancing and feasting.

Hum! Zhao Zheng just sighed when he saw it, how long can such a good life last? Even if the days are just around the corner, I'm afraid it's not peaceful. There is already a whirlpool on the calm water of Xuanwu Lake, but no one pays attention to it, there is no wind and no waves, where does this wind come from?

As soon as he stepped into the concierge, Li Yuan hurriedly greeted him, obviously telling him something confidential. Dong Zhongyan thought that as a deputy envoy, he should be able to participate, but he didn't want to be directly rejected by Zhao Zheng.

He had feelings in his heart, but he didn't dare to show them. To this day, he has sensed that Zhao Shaoqing may have another important responsibility, and he does not dare to recklessly ruin the affairs of the official family. Especially after seeing Zhao Zheng's wrist, he didn't dare to snatch the tiger's whiskers.

"What?"

Li Yuandao: "The official family has a secret edict, let us stabilize the Tang Kingdom for at least a month, Li Chongjin will have the general trend, and even if the Tang Kingdom makes a move, it will be powerless to return to the sky." If you can stabilize it for two months, it is best to make a big deal! ”

Zhao Zheng said: "At the afternoon meeting, Li Jing has promised not to send troops, and Wang Huainan is strictly forbidden to transport weapons, grain, grass and other materials, let alone take in the remnants of the rebellious party. ”

"Great!" Li Yuan said excitedly: "This is very good, the mission assigned by the official family is completed." ”

"Don't be happy too early......" Zhao Zheng didn't want to speak in a low tone, and immediately poured a basin of cold water on his head.

Li Yuan was stunned and said, "What? Shaoqing is worried that Li Jing will have a repetition? ”

"Li Jing's side is not worried, but ......" Zhao Zheng's eyes were solemn and fell into deep thought.

……

In the Qi Palace, Li Jingda also fell into deep thought.

In one day, there were so many things that happened that he was completely unexpected, and he was even more caught off guard.

Li Congjia changed the title of King Wu and entered the East Palace.

The imperial brother Li Jing finally made such a decision, perhaps this was expected, Li Congjia is the eldest son, and it is very likely that he will be the prince.

It is precisely for this reason that he wants to find a way to change this trend and increase his weight. True, he had ambitions for the throne.

As the son of the martyr ancestor Li Yu and the Empress of Song, he has a noble status, but he is a little lower. At that time, Li Jingda may not have any ambitions, but at the beginning of Li Jing's ascension to the throne, he made a promise that he would die as a brother and a brother.

It's just that there is another brother Li Jingsui above, the throne is still far away from him, and Li Jingda can be regarded as a safe share. More time is spent in the army, working hard to train to assist my brother.

But Li Jingsui died suddenly, which made Li Jingda start to think. However, he still has a sane person, and if the imperial brother passes on the throne to his son, although he will be secretly displeased, he will still accept it. As long as it was beneficial to the Southern Tang state, he reluctantly agreed.

However, Li Hongji, the only promising son of the imperial brother Li Jing, died, and the rest of Congjia and Congshan could only be rich idlers, and it was simply a mistake to let them ascend the throne. Especially after losing Huainan and surrounded by strong enemies, what is needed at this time is a tough and promising monarch to turn the tide.

Is Li Congjia Xing? A cowardly man who only knows how to make the wind and the moon, feast and travel, and don't care about political affairs, expect him to be able to save the Tang Kingdom from danger?

Out of this consideration, coupled with the selfishness of the desire for power, it is natural to be very opposed to this. Li Jingda felt that maybe he had the ability to turn the tide.

But it is difficult to facilitate this matter, either to persuade Li Jing to take the initiative to nod, or to build momentum for Li Jing to nod.

In the tradition of establishing princes in the past dynasties, in addition to establishing a successor, there is also a saying that a virtuous person is established in troubled times. If he can make contributions and defend the safety of the Tang Kingdom, the storage position seems to be logical.

If you want to build momentum, it is best to make a contribution to the world, such as recovering the fourteen states of Jiangbei (Huainan). Li Chongjin's rebellion is an excellent opportunity, as long as the Tang State sends troops, who else will be the marshal to lead the troops? When the time comes, with the great merit of recovering Huainan and returning with the military power of the Tang State, the throne is not within reach?

Li Jingda is very shrewd, from the moment Zhao Zheng set foot in Jiangnan, he knew the intention of the Song envoy. Therefore, he single-handedly led the Qinhuai River rumor incident, with the purpose of discrediting the Song envoys and intensifying the hatred of the people of the Tang Dynasty. It happened that Han Wei appeared and carried the black cauldron, and no one suspected him.

Just imagine, in a very short period of time, in Jinling City, spread rumors, and make the city full of wind and rain, except for such a strong, well-connected, and profound prince, who can do it?

But what's the use? Li Jingda felt that he underestimated the endurance of his imperial brother Li Jing. Such a big public outrage was just hanging out, and there was no corresponding countermeasure against the Song envoy. Later, he sent two straw bale sons and Han Xizai, Huangfu Jixun and others to suppress the Song envoys.

It's a pity that a few straw bales with insufficient success and more than enough failure are not right, not only did they not succeed, but also made Zhao Zheng famous in Jiangnan and even more arrogant.

Li Jingda was very angry, and at the same time saw one thing clearly, that is, Li Congjia was narrow-minded and had no room for people. is incompetent and does not concentrate on politics, what will be the consequences if you are more suspicious and suspicious?

In this way, the desire to prevent Li Congjia from ascending the throne has become stronger and stronger. But he never expected that when Li Jingda was working hard, the imperial brother Li Jing did not discuss with anyone, and suddenly announced that Li Congjia would move to the East Palace.

This undoubtedly caught Li Jingda off guard, but fortunately, the crown prince has not yet been officially canonized, and things are still turning around, and it has become urgent to send troops to Huainan.

But...... Li Jingda once again underestimated the patience of the imperial brother Li Jing, he was timid and fearful, and refused to send troops, he even forbade the transportation of grain and grass.

disappointed, Li Jingda was full of disappointment, and he was very disappointed in the father and son, if this continues, the Tang Kingdom will perish. As the son-in-law of the martyr ancestor Li Yu, Li Jingda felt that he had the obligation to support Sheji, and his ambition became more and more vigorous.

When he was relieved, Zhong Mo, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, actually admonished him in person, claiming that "Cong Jiade is light and cowardly, and he believes in Shi Shi, and he is not a human master." Be good and resolute, and be the heir. ”

If there is a brother, there must be a brother, how strong can Li Congshan be? Through this matter, Li Jingda saw the hearts of the court, and there are still many people who oppose Li Congjia's succession, which can be used! Especially when Li Jing was angry, he demoted Zhong Mo to the son of the country, and when the news came out, it would cause an uproar in public opinion, which was a great opportunity.

As long as you send troops to Huainan, a big thing can be done! The persuasion was useless, Li Jingda had completely given up on his brother Li Jing, and now he could only force it.

As soon as he returned to the palace, his son Li Congqing said: "Father, my sixth brother is really impatient, and I have asked my sixth sister-in-law to ask Zhao Zheng to visit Qixia Mountain together!" ”

"Good!" Li Jingda said with a smile: "He has crowned King Wu and is about to move to the East Palace, you are closer to him on weekdays, what should you do, you don't have to teach you for your father, right?" ”

"Father, rest assured, my son will do it properly, and it will definitely cause a sensation in Jiangnan when the time comes!"

"I'm waiting for my husband, but time is running out, we must hurry!"

"Father, rest assured, it won't be long, my sixth brother is more anxious than you and us!" Li Congjia smiled, very proud.

"By the way, what's wrong with that hunchback?" Li Jingda suddenly remembered and asked in a deep voice.

Li Congqing said with a smile: "It's also a low/low-grade billet, the girl brought back from the Qinhuai River was originally handsome, but I'm afraid that there is no one anymore now......"

"Hmph, stare at the point!" Li Jingda smiled coldly, his eyes were much gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

……

Han Wei got up from the couch, and without a shirt, his stiff hunchback was even more ugly. After sitting down, Shicai's hideous smile stopped, and his eyes became heavy.

Li Chongjin has raised troops, and he also got the news today.

Han Wei didn't know if things had changed in Huainan, or if his efficiency was too slow, so that there was a bit of a mismatch between him and Li Chongjin. In this way, it is very urgent to ask the Southern Tang to send troops to help. If it doesn't come out within a month, it will be over in one qiē.

But...... Li Jing treated Zhao Zheng as a guest, and he couldn't even show up. His subordinates told him that the Southern Tang Navy Division had blocked the river, and the grain and grass in the south of the Yangtze River could not be transported to Yangzhou at all......

Han Wei knows very well that Huainan is so erosive after years of war that it can't last long...... I can't imagine that Li Jing is so cowardly, what means did Zhao Zheng use to make him die like this?

That's it, now, it's pointless to think about this, and the only one who can count on is His Royal Highness the King of Qi. Hearing that Li Congjia was named King of Wu and moved to the East Palace, Han Wei was very happy, which was good news for him.

Someone will be more anxious than himself, and he will find a way to send troops, and he just needs to watch a good show. If you have nothing to do......

Han Wei smiled, turned to look at Liu Ying'er, who was already wooden on the couch, and a hungry tiger pounced on it......
