The man said unceremoniously: For a person who will one day return to the vulgar after shaving today, I am afraid that the master's words are almost the same!

Yuanfa was so angry that he had nothing to say, Ouyang Xuanye said dissatisfiedly: Since you were not sent by my father, please don't talk nonsense, my determination can only be said with a slight movement. If my father still can't move me, how can you, an outsider, say anything about me?

The man laughed and said, "It's hard to say." After all, reasoning is based on the reasons at hand to persuade the other party, not family affection. If the reason is sufficient, it is possible for even your enemies to convince you, but if the reason is not sufficient, your father will not convince you, as you say!

Ouyang Xuanye sneered: Then what reason do you have to convince me?

The man didn't say anything, took out a hosta from his arms, shook it in front of Ouyang Xuanye, and put it back in his arms. Ouyang Xuanye's face changed greatly, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he suddenly broke away from the two little novices who were supporting him, rushed up and grabbed the man's collar, and said, "Where did you get this thing?"

The man was caught by Ouyang Xuanye, but his face did not change in the slightest, and he still said gloomily: This thing was just entrusted by someone to come and give it to you to see, that person is now in the carriage outside the temple gate, if you have anything to say, you can ask him in person.

Ouyang Xuanye immediately let go of the man, turned around and ran outside the temple gate. It's just that he has been kneeling on the ground all day after all, his feet are already extremely sore, and he has not eaten all day, and he has long lost his strength. After only a few steps, he fell to the ground.

When the few people behind saw it, they were about to step forward to help, but when they saw Ouyang Xuanye gritting his teeth, he got up and continued to move forward crookedly. Several people had a glint of respect in their eyes. The circle method is even more palms together, and a high voice: Amitabha

Ouyang Xuanye walked out of the temple gate, and sure enough, he saw a carriage parked there, he hurriedly walked over, and the coachman didn't say anything, and stretched out his hand to pull him up. Ouyang Xuanye got into the carriage, saw the people inside at a glance, and was taken aback, and said in surprise: Brother Li Li!

Ouyang Shu smiled and said, "You never thought it was me, did you?"

Ouyang Xuanye sat down and asked eagerly: What is the matter with the hosta? The hosta was actually given to Lu Yunrou by him, and it was also the only one of all the gifts he gave to Lu Yunrou that was worth a little money, so he was particularly impressed by the hosta.

Ouyang Shu nodded and said: Brother Zhang guessed well, that hosta is indeed hers! He didn't specify who she was, but he believed that Ouyang Xuanye would understand.

Ouyang Xuanye said in confusion: Then how did this hairpin get into Brother Li's hands?

Ouyang Shu smiled and said: Actually, it is also a coincidence. As for how it was a coincidence, in order to prevent me from lying in front of Brother Zhang, please Brother Zhang still don't ask. In short, I can tell you the truth about what happened in these days. The simplest fact is that the woman who jumped into the river that day was actually not Miss Lu, but another woman. Her purpose of jumping into the river is very simple, just to make Brother Zhang, you think that Miss Lu jumped into the river, and then hehe, I believe that with your deep affection for Miss Lu, I am afraid you will not live alone!

Ouyang Xuanye's eyes widened and he was speechless. He just trembled and said, "You, how are you, I forgot again, I shouldn't have asked you this." I want to ask, where is Yun Rou now?

Ouyang Shu said calmly: You are probably guessing now that Miss Lu was hidden by me, right? Actually, you really guessed correctly. On that day, Miss Lu was actually kidnapped and kidnapped, but fortunately, two of my subordinates happened to see her and rescued her. Now that she has been hidden by me in a safe place, I believe that those thieves will never be found again!

When Ouyang Xuanye heard this, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't speak: Brother Xie Li, I just don't know what to say, then please take me there

Ouyang Shu said: Do you want to see her? I'm afraid you can't, Brother Zhang. She was pregnant, a little frightened, and not very well. I've already taken some medicine to prescribe it, but if you show up in front of her, I'm afraid she'll get very excited!

Ouyang Xuanye said with some displeasure: Brother Li, what does this mean?

Ouyang Shu smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, don't you understand?" Her father died in an unclear manner, although it may not be your father's hand, but you don't have conclusive evidence to prove your father's innocence, right? Even if you take a step back, it really wasn't your father's doing, and your father always had a clear attitude on the matter of removing her father's officials. From this point of view, even if your father is unwilling to kill Beren, it is difficult to dissociate his death from your father. unless

Ouyang Xuanye said: Unless what?

Ouyang Shu said: Unless the real mastermind behind the scenes can stand up and admit it!

Chapter 21 of the main text

More than 100 years ago, although you didn't personally experience the great chaos in the world, you should have heard of it, right?

Ouyang Shu thought for a while and said: What Xu Gong said, is it the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms?

General Xu nodded and said, "You are right. Since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou dynasties in the Central Plains have risen and fallen, and the overall situation in the world has been secret. Although these five Central Plains dynasties have always been the most powerful in the world, they have never been able to dominate the world.

It was not until the birth of the second monarch of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Shizong, that this situation changed radically. Zhou Shizong was born with a unique domineering spirit, which made all the fierce generals and followers who were ministers under His Royal Highness bow down to him and be convinced by him. He cultivated politics internally and trained strong soldiers externally, which rejuvenated the entire Later Zhou court inside and outside, and the national strength soon reached a peak that the previous imperial courts did not reach.

At this time, the Tang Kingdom in the southern Jiangnan region had also been passed to the second generation of monarch Zhongzong Li Jing. His father, Li Ben, had worked hard for many years, ruling the country in troubled times, and recruiting virtuous ministers who had fled from the north to his country to escape the scourge of war, and he also governed his country to be stronger than ever. Due to the geographical location of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the war was not prosperous, and the government was peaceful, with the national strength of the Tang State at that time, it was difficult to say who won and who lost.

It is a pity that although Li Jing, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was a scholar and had amazing talents in poetry and writing, he had no merit in governing the country. If a person like him governs his country well and uses a rich country to strengthen his army, he may not have the opportunity to dominate the world. It's a pity that such a scholar is so happy that he always thinks about making achievements.

As soon as he succeeded to the throne, he repeatedly sent large armies to conquer the surrounding small countries. It's just that the Tang State originally only had capable ministers and lacked generals, and this court had not experienced war for more than ten years, and the soldiers were far less capable of fighting than other places. In this way, although the Tang State fought more and less every time, it still suffered repeated defeats. What is especially ridiculous is that on several occasions they have already captured each other's cities, but because of the corruption of military discipline, the local people rioted and drove their army out.

In this way, although they eventually destroyed the two small courts, their national power was greatly weakened. What's even worse is that the country's soldiers have lost their self-confidence in fighting since then. At this time, Zhou Shizong personally raised troops to attack, and the army of the Tang State was really defeated in the face of the strong generals of the northern country, and it was not an opponent at all. And there was a general named Zhao Kuangyin who went deep alone, won consecutive battles, and defeated the army of the Tang State.

Although the Tang State also produced a group of loyal generals such as Liu Renzhen and Huang Fuhui, they could not prevent the Long Drive of the Later Zhou army. If it weren't for the fact that there was no naval army in Houzhou at that time, and the country could not be destroyed in one fell swoop, the Southern Tang Dynasty might have been destroyed at that time.

After this blow, Li Jing was so frightened that he left Jinling City to the crown prince Li Yu, and he fled to Hongzhou Mansion in the south, and renamed Hongzhou Mansion Nanchang Mansion, with the capital here. But it didn't take long for him to rise in fear. Soon after he went, Li Yu moved the capital back to Jinling.

It's just that this Li Yu is not as good as his Lao Tzu. Although he is incompetent, he is still enterprising, and he is also very diligent in internal affairs. This Li Yu only believes in a group of demon monks, except for poetry and painting, wine and beauty. Let these monks run rampant in Jinling City, covering the sky and the sun.

At this time, Zhou Shizong, a generation of divine monarchs in the north, died violently inexplicably. Soon after, the aforementioned general Zhao Kuangyin found an excuse to seize the throne. Although Zhao Kuangyin is difficult to compare with Zhou Shizong in terms of ability and domineering, he has ambitions that Zhou Shizong is incomparable. In addition, he was born in the army, was accustomed to war, and had a higher prestige in the army, so he quickly stabilized his position. And began to complete Zhou Shizong's unfinished business, destroying those small countries around him.

One small nation after another was destroyed. The Southern Tang Kingdom did not escape this fate. What is ridiculous is that Li Yu successively canceled his emperor name and country name, and finally became the so-called lord of Jiangnan, wanting to use this to curry favor with Zhao Kuangyin and let him let him go, but he was still rejected by Zhao Kuangyin by lying on the side of the couch, how could he allow others to snore. What's even more ridiculous is that the Great Song Iron Cavalry saw that he was about to come to the city, and Li Yu was not thinking about how to dispatch troops, but to find the monks he trusted the most, and let them solve the current crisis with boundless Buddhism. In this way, the Southern Tang Kingdom was soon reduced to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.
