"Erchen wishes my father Emperor Long's health and longevity!"

Emperor Zhou E held the pipa in the burning trough, bowed to Yingying, opened his lips lightly, and said auspicious congratulations.

Li Jing smiled and said: "Emperor E's hard work, let's sit at the table!" ”

Seeing Emperor Zhou E walking to Li Congjia's side and sitting at the same table, everyone knew her identity, the eldest daughter of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the eldest daughter of Situ Zhouzong, and now Princess Zheng.

No wonder she is so beautiful, the country is fragrant, noble and elegant, and her bearing is graceful, this woman's posture and bearing are simply breathtaking!

Everyone looked at Li Congjia with envy, this His Royal Highness King Zheng is really lucky, he is the sixth in line, but several brothers in the former temple are dead; Now I can marry such a beautiful character with such a beautiful character, a proper winner in life!

No one knows what Li Congjia himself thinks, although everyone is very envious and thinks that his wife is a beauty. But what's the use of just looking beautiful? Although she is beautiful and a good wife and mother, she is just like that. Li Congjia himself can't say why, if he doesn't like it, he doesn't like it.

Today's front seats are specially arranged, on the left are the envoys of various countries, and on the right are the princes and ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Zhao Zheng was the first seat on the left, opposite Li Jingda, the king of Qi, followed by Li Congjia, the king of Zheng, and the couple of Zhou Ehuang. So as soon as Zhao Zheng raised his head, he could see Emperor Zhou E.

That day was the first encounter by the Qinhuai River, but unfortunately it was only heard and not seen by the person, and the moment the carriage curtain was blown, it was only a glimpse, and today I was finally able to see it.

is worthy of being a famous beauty in history, and her appearance is naturally needless to say, sincerely speaking, her appearance is indeed above Fu Rong. In this era, the only ones who can be compared to her are her own sister Zhou Nuying, and the lady of the flower in Jinguancheng in Shuzhong.

Zhao Zheng didn't have any thoughts about Emperor Zhou E, who was already a wife, he was just in a kind of curiosity of a traverser, wanting to see what the famous beauties in history looked like, that's all.

This time I came to Nantang to finally meet the two sisters of Empress E, which was worth the trip and fulfilled two small long-cherished wishes.

The banquet continued, the singing and dancing could not be interrupted, and after several beautiful but not as amazing as the opening dance, the lady appeared in the hall again.

As the first dancing girl in the Southern Tang Palace, she is naturally indispensable on this occasion today. Only this time, in addition to dancing, the lady is still singing. What is sung is Zhao Zheng's "Queqiao Immortal", which is popular in the south of the Yangtze River and finally ascends to the hall of elegance today.

Everyone present basically heard about it, and they were a little surprised, and their eyes all fell on Zhao Zheng involuntarily.

"The clouds are clever, and the flying stars are hateful...... As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless ...... in the world If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight? ”

The lady has a very good voice, like a yellow bird, clear and tactful, full of affection to sing the song "Queqiao Fairy", many people listen to it as if they are fascinated.

Zhao Zheng noticed that Li Congjia's face was a little gloomy, and turned to glare at Emperor Zhou E, as if he was dissatisfied, and his attitude was very unfriendly. And Emperor Zhou E seemed to be a little puzzled, and there seemed to be grievances in his eyes.

Is there no harmony between their husband and wife? It's not as affectionate as recorded in the history books, and the piano is harmonious? Zhao Zheng was puzzled, and Li Jing over there had already smiled and said, "I didn't expect Zhao Shaoqing's literary talent to be so outstanding!" ”

"Where? The lord of the country praised it falsely, and it is still far from you and His Royal Highness King Zheng. Zhao Zheng knows that Li Jing is also a master of filling in words, not to mention Li Congjia, if there is really a father, there must be a son.

Li Jing's expression was very normal, but Li Congjia's expression was a little abnormal, as if his face was a little unbearable, and even a little annoyed. What does Zhao Zheng mean by this? Now the whole Jiangnan is singing "Queqiao Immortal", and many people privately say that Zhao Zheng surpasses himself.

And now he says this in front of people, is he modest? Li Congjia shook his head secretly. Zhao Zheng didn't miss any opportunity to ridicule himself

, which is really hateful. The hatred for Zhao Zheng in his heart became even stronger, and he remembered the strategy offered by his cousin Li Congqing, and moved his mind again. glanced at Zhao Zheng, and then turned to look at his wife Zhou Ehuang, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Li Jingda, the king of Qi on the side, said with a smile: "I heard that Zhao Shaoqing has outstanding martial arts, but I didn't expect that his literary talent is so good, he is really young and promising, it seems that the Northern Dynasty is full of talents!" ”

Zhao Zheng said with a smile: "King Qi praised, of course my Great Song Dynasty is full of talents, including all the famous friends in the south of the Yangtze River here!" ”

"I heard that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty worked hard, and he had the ambition to swallow thousands of miles like a tiger, and he was menacing!"

Hearing Li Jingda's words, Zhao Zheng knew that he was uneasy and kind, and this question was not easy to answer. Saying no, doesn't it mean that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is a straw bag with no ambitions, how to deter the world? If you say yes, if you sue the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty will dominate the world, and you will definitely destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty.

So, what will Li Jing think? At such a critical juncture, wouldn't he want to find a way to save himself? What's more, there are envoys from other countries and localities here, and if the answer is slightly biased, it will be truthful and will cause adverse consequences.

Zhao Zheng pondered for a short time and said with a smile: "The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty reigns over the world, and he is naturally magnificent, but he also loves the people like a son, whether it is the Northwest, the Central Plains or the livelihood of the people in the south of the Yangtze River, His Majesty is very concerned." This time, the official was sent to come, in addition to congratulating the lord on his birthday, but also to comfort Jiangnan.

His Majesty is benevolent, but he is also jealous of evil, and if someone under his rule plots misdeeds, regardless of the common people in the world and the people at dawn, His Majesty has always been severely punished. You should have heard that Li Yun in Luzhou, Hedong is an example. ”

Everyone present understood that Zhao Zheng's words were a combination of grace and power, soft and hard. I don't know whether to swallow mountains and rivers and dominate the world. The implication is that if there is no dispute, Da Song will be with you and Lele. If you are ready to move, the end will be like Li Yun.

This can be regarded as a clever answer, and those who are willing to listen will naturally take it seriously, and those who understand it will naturally know that this is just a perfunctory statement. The general trend of the world, together for a long time, must be divided, and for a long time must be united, the truth that has been verified since ancient times. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were chaotic, while the Qin and Han dynasties dominated the world; At the end of the Han Dynasty, Wei, Shu and Wu conquered the Three Kingdoms, and finally returned to the Jin Dynasty; The Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties were divided again, and the Sui and Tang dynasties were unified and strong again.

Now it has been decades since the death of the Tang Dynasty, and if you count the era of the division of feudal towns at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world has been in chaos for almost a hundred years. It's time to reunify again, this is the aspiration of the people, and it is also a historical trend.

It's a pity that many people don't have this ability, but they don't want to be unified, hoping to be able to keep one side as the hegemon, and subconsciously be content with the status quo. It may sound strange to sometimes ignore the potential threat of the time, but many monarchs of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms did exactly that.

Zhao Zheng did not explicitly state the aggressive ambitions of the Song dynasty, and Li Jing and many of his envoys were somewhat reassured, and they interpreted these words as warnings. In this way, it is natural to be more and more cautious.

Li Jing remained silent, Li Congjia didn't care, and Li Jingda laughed dryly, his expression slightly unnatural. Zhao Zheng knew in his heart that this person was already on his list of suspicions, and now he needed to be more and more vigilant.

After the hiccup, the banquet continued. Seeing that it was not early, everyone estimated that the banquet should be over, and they were ready to leave.

Not wanting the atmosphere to change suddenly, Li Jing stood up, stood in front of the steps of the main seat, and said in a loud voice: "Today, the real ministers and envoys of various countries, the widow wants to announce one thing. ”

Seeing that Li Jing's expression and words were extremely solemn, everyone couldn't help but cheer up and look forward to the next content attentively.

Li Jing stood on the steps and said loudly: "My son Congjia, benevolent and humble, abiding by filial piety, outstanding in learning, smart and virtuous, will be renamed King Wu on the same day!" ”

There was a sudden sound of suspicion in the main hall, King Zheng was renamed King Wu, or the title of prince, and his identity did not change. However, Jiangdong has been called Wu since ancient times, with "King Wu" as the title, and the meaning is intriguing!

Just when everyone was confused, Li Jing smiled and said: "The plaques and regulations of the palace are not in a hurry to change, the widow has ordered someone to repair the East Palace and move in from Jia!" ”

Li Congjia was still stunned, Li Jingda's face changed, and the hall was in an uproar. The news came so suddenly, surprise was inevitable.

Without waiting for everyone to come back to their senses, Li Jing continued: "On the 15th day of August, the widow held a banquet in the East Palace again, and invited all Aiqing and the envoys to congratulate my son's housewarming! ”
