Qi Zhengxiu really didn't know how to answer. When he heard the news that Li Yu was going to Taiwan, his first reaction subconsciously thought of how the pregnant little peach should explain to Li Yu and how to keep the child. After thinking about it for a long time, he had a plan in his heart.

But it was only with the reason of preventing Li Yu from discovering the secret passage that he persuaded himself to abandon the war that might happen at any time and ignore the danger of being imprisoned for the rest of his life if he returned to Jinling. So how should he answer? Even he himself was trying his best to convince himself that the war of the country was far more important than the love of his children.

Half an hour later. Qi Zhengxiu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what I say, what you think is the reason." ”

Xiao Tao was stunned for a moment, and smiled faintly. He didn't say it, naturally it was the second reason, that is, he was just afraid that the secret passage and the people in the secret passage would be discovered by Li Yu. That's what suits his character. Xiao Tao breathed a sigh of relief and sent Qi Zhengxiu to rest.

Qi Zhengxiu entered the court early the next morning to meet Li Yu. On the one hand, Li Yu asked him about the battle along the Yangtze River, and on the other hand, he convened the ministers of the court and the central government to discuss how to arrange the troops next. Now the south of the Tang Dynasty is also the Song army, and it is necessary to send additional troops to defend the southern border. To the south, there was more land, and the Song army was good at land warfare, so it was necessary to send strong defenders. After a whole day of discussion, Li Yu was inclined to withdraw Lin Renzhao from the naval defense line at Wankou and lead his troops to garrison Nanchang Mansion in Jiangxi. And all the troops along the Yangtze River were defended by Qi Zhengxiu, who was good at naval forces. And Li Yu was a little worried, and sent a few more lieutenants to Qi Zhengxiu to guard together.

The Southern Han Dynasty was destroyed, and Li Yu was a bit like a frightened bird. kept telling the minister whether he wanted to change the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty. Downgauge. Show respect for the Song Dynasty. lest the Song Dynasty have the heart to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty at any time. The DPRK and China are again arguing over these matters.

Qi Zhengxiu has no interest in ritual matters, these are just specimens. Li Yu put Lin Renzhao in Nanchang Mansion, which made him feel very relieved. Lin Renzhao is a rare fierce general, and he is better at land warfare, with him defending, the Song army cannot take advantage of southern Xinjiang.

When Qi Zhengxiu came back, the happiest person was Yin'er. As long as he sees Qi Zhengxiu every day, he pesters and refuses to let go. Qi Zhengxiu spent two nights carving a piece of wood into a horse for him, and Yin'er was so happy that he even slept with a wooden horse. Xiao Tao wanted to take the wooden horse from him, but Yin'er didn't let go, and muttered: "Dad said, when I grow up, give me a real horse and take me to fight together." ”

Sometimes Qi Zhengxiu was at home during the day, and Yin'er would ask Qi Zhengxiu to teach him to read and write, or practice martial arts. Qi Zhengxiu held the book and taught Yin'er gently. Xiao Tao was making tea for Yin'er and Qi Zhengxiu on the side, preparing snacks. From time to time, he looked at Qi Zhengxiu and smiled at the words of Yin'er's child. In that kind of time, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and the years are quiet, which is the happiness that Qi Zhengxiu has the longest aftertaste.

Half a month later, the major events in the DPRK and China were settled. Li Yu transferred Lin Renzhao back to Nanchang Mansion, and as soon as he arrived in Nanchang Mansion, he fought back against the intrusion of several Song troops on the border.

And Qi Zhengxiu wanted to rush back to Changzhou. In order to show his respect for the Song Dynasty, Li Yu specially sent Li Congshan, the king of Zheng, to the Song Dynasty with rich gifts to pay tribute. Since they were all heading north, Li Yu specially ordered Qi Zhengxiu to escort King Zheng all the way to the border of the Yangtze River.

Qi Zhengxiu left, Yin'er hugged the Trojan horse carved by Qi Zhengxiu and cried for three whole days, he was reluctant to Qi Zhengxiu. Although they only got along for half a month, he experienced his father's love for the first time. Dad can lift him high and ride a big horse, but Mom won't; Dad will take him to practice martial arts. Catch him again steadily. Mother won't; Dad can tell him stories about the war, but Mom can't. Thinking of this, Yin'er couldn't stop crying. Xiao Tao had to coax him and take him to see his father when he had time.

Winter in Jiangnan has really arrived, it is the coldest winter that Xiao Tao feels, so cold that it seems to be going into the cracks of bones. Li Yu no longer came to Taiwan. There were also many fewer feasts in the palace. The business of Huayuefang is not as good as before, and it seems that everyone is very depressed. Facing the uncertain future, from Li Yu to the courtiers to the people, they were all a little uneasy.

Li Congshan went to the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyin sent someone to receive him very warmly, and specially gave the mansion as Li Congshan's courtyard in Kaifeng. Unlike other envoys, who came and only stayed in the inn. After resting for two days, Li Congshan entered the palace to meet Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin set up a banquet in the palace, and the singing and dancing silk and bamboo were also lined up in turn. Although the songs and dances of the Song Dynasty are not as soft as those of the Southern Tang Dynasty, they also have a hard and straightforward taste. The dancing women are beautiful with a unique flavor. Li Congshan looked at it seriously without turning his eyes.

Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile: "Since King Zheng likes it, why don't you stay and enjoy it every day?" ”

Li Congshan was stunned for a moment, and the wine glass he was holding in his hand fell to the ground with a "dangchang", staying? Zhao Kuangyin: Is this a persuasion? Li Congshan hurriedly hugged Zhao Kuangyin deeply: "Your Majesty, although the minister was shocked by the beauty at this time, the lord of the country was still waiting for the minister to return to his life." Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love. ”

Zhao Kuangyin laughed and was noncommittal to Li Congshan's answer. Li Congshan's heart was even more furious. Fortunately, the sound of music around me sounded again, and the sound was very loud, covering up everything that was unusual.

Zhao Guangyi was also on the side, only sneering and looking at Li Congshan without saying a word. The Southern Han Dynasty has been taken, and the small country of Wuyue is not a problem, and only the hard bone of the Southern Tang Dynasty remains. The Great Song Dynasty had just experienced the war of the Southern Han Dynasty, and the troops needed to recuperate and adjust for a period of time. At this time, it was not appropriate to send troops to the Southern Tang Dynasty. And the Southern Tang Dynasty is already surrounded by Song troops on three sides, so you might as well try Wendou first, starting with persuasion. And to persuade him to surrender, start with the younger brother of King Zheng and Li Yu.

After a pause, Zhao Guangyi asked the staff who followed him: "Is the portrait of the Linfeng Pavilion ready?" ”

The staff nodded, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Actually, this counter-plot is the same for Qi Zhengxiu and Lin Renzhao, and it is better for Qi Zhengxiu." Why did the adults definitely recommend it to His Majesty to use it with Lin Renzhao? "Qi Zhengxiu, the defender of Beijiang, and Lin Renzhao, the defender of Southern Xinjiang, are not good at stubble, and Qi Zhengxiu is more difficult to do than Lin Renzhao, if this strategy is used on Qi Zhengxiu, once it works, the Yangtze River defense line will collapse completely, won't it be immediately desirable for the Southern Tang Dynasty? Every time Zhao Guangyi talked about the Southern Tang Dynasty, he wanted to destroy the country immediately, but when it came to the critical moment, he tried his best to avoid the important and deal with it lightly.

"Can't figure it out?" Zhao Guangyi snorted coldly.

The staff nodded: "After all, Qi Zhengxiu used to be the prince's companion, and the relationship was not a little close. ”

Zhao Guangyi narrowed his eyes, his expression was the usual coldness, and he said in a deep voice: "Qi Zhengxiu is meticulous and calm, and he has always been cautious with Li Yu, Li Yu will not believe it." What's more, the sailor is important, Li Yu will not change even if he has a difference in his heart. This method is either not used, and if you want to use it, you must be completely sure. ”

The staff seemed to understand a little, and wiped the thin sweat from their foreheads. Zhao Guangyi is so strategic, there is no need to use staff.

Zhao Guangyi drank the full bottle of wine in his hand. Although the soldiers are not tired of deceit, the anti-inverse plan is not authentic after all. He can't and doesn't dare to use it on Qi Zhengxiu. It doesn't matter if Qi Zhengxiu dies or not, this plan will kill his wife and children who stayed in Jinling as hostages. Wife and children? Thinking of this, Zhao Guangyi did it again. My heart didn't burn as much as I did just now. For Qi Zhengxiu, Zhao Guangyi has an obsession, he must destroy him openly and take back the people who should belong to him.

The next morning, Zhao Kuangyin personally took Li Congshan to visit the palace: "King Zheng rarely comes to the palace, and it is also a pleasure to take this opportunity to enjoy the palace garden together." ”

Li Congshan hurriedly thanked him. Although he is the younger brother of the Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but now the status of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty has long been incomparable, Zhao Kuangyin still treats him like this, and he can't help but be grateful in his heart.

Li Congshan followed Zhao Kuangyin to enjoy the palace, from the rockery stone forest, to the pavilions and water pavilions, to the rare treasures in the palace, as well as birds and beasts, Li Congshan was full of interest. But after watching it, I still feel that it is still half a point inferior to Nantang. The luxury and beauty of the Southern Tang court are unparalleled in the world.

Zhao Kuangyin saw that Li Congshan didn't speak, and thought that he was shocked. Seeing that the timing was about the same, he took Li Congshan to a building, Li Congshan looked around, it was not bad here, it was connected to water on three sides, and the reflection of the building was extremely elegant. Li Congshan smiled and said, "This place is good. "He was about to go in. Soil leads to macro planning.

Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly stopped Li Congshan's steps: "Let's change places." He said he was going to step aside.

Zhao Kuangyin's deliberate look stimulated Li Congshan's interest, he simply walked to the main house facing south, and as soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by a portrait, and the person on the portrait was looking at him intently.

Li Congshan's feet are stumbling, how can it be him? couldn't help but blame Zhao Kuangyin beside him: "Your Majesty, how is this person a little similar to my Lord Chaolin?" ”

"Hahaha!" Zhao Kuangyin laughed loudly and laughed for a long time before he looked down and said to Li Congshan: "Your eyesight is very good, and it is indeed Lin Renzhao." ”

Li Congshan's heart thumped, and he asked Zhao Kuangyin's voice a little bit lacking: "Why is his portrait here?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin hooked his lips and smiled: "Since King Zheng has seen it here, I have nothing to hide." Lord Lin has already submitted to my Great Song wholeheartedly. Years after years of war, the people were miserable, and the army was cruel. So Lord Lin plans to surrender. This portrait was specially sent as a token. ”

Li Congshan's brain "buzzed", and he had no thoughts. Lin Renzhao returned to Zhao Kuangyin? Rebel against the Tang Dynasty? No, it won't. Li Congshan shook his head and said, "Lord Lin has always been loyal, he won't." ”

Zhao Kuangyin smiled meaningfully: "Lord Lin is loyal to Tang, not necessarily loyal to the lord of the country. ”

"What does that mean?" Li Congshan didn't understand, "Isn't loyalty to Tang the same as loyalty to the lord of the country?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin laughed: "That's not necessarily. After speaking, he looked down at Li Congshan and said with a smile, "Don't you know, Li Hongji is not dead?" ”
