Since June, there has been no regularity in the early dynasties.

One reason is of course the defeat of the Northern Expedition, the emperor Li Jing's ambition to dominate the world was deeply hit, his psychological state gradually languished, and he couldn't sleep all night resulting in lack of energy, but the second reason is somewhat obscure.

When the religion changed from a simple belief to a preference, Li Jing's time was obviously insufficient, and in order to accompany the queen to chant scriptures, the affairs of the court and government were much more tired, and the number of early dynasties was significantly reduced compared with the past.

Fortunately, in the Southern Tang Dynasty, which was partial to Jianghuai, in the dark era of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, this dynasty, known as the Yuyin of the Tang Dynasty, still completely followed most of the effectively operating state systems since the Tang Dynasty. Under this strict system, even if the superior is slack, he still employs enough people to keep the kingdom running smoothly and not fall in an instant.

This is Li Jing's luck, and I have to say that it is his wisdom, the courtiers he chooses often like to tilt against each other, like to play power, and even like to engage in some shady deeds, but most of them are very competent, no matter what means they use, they can barely be regarded as qualified managers.

The attitude of the officials towards the early dynasty was somewhat strange, or rather contradictory. Many people have experienced the hard work of Li Jing day after day in the first ten years of his accession to the throne, and now they are experiencing sudden changes.

At first, they were glad that they could finally be freed from the pain of the morning pilgrimage, and they no longer had to get up without the rooster crowing, and went to the court in the bitter cold and heat. However, once the early dynasty became more and more rare, not even once in half a month, these people's hearts suddenly panicked.

Therefore, once there is a notice from the previous dynasty, almost none of the officials miss it, because the early dynasty is becoming scarcer and rarer, as if it is rare and expensive, they have regarded the early dynasty as a rare and grand assembly, put on a brand new official uniform and hat, dress decently, meet the supreme ruler Li Jing, and then greet colleagues, contact and contact feelings, it may also be a pleasure.

At this time, Emperor Li Jing sat on the throne, looking at the appearance of the hundred officials kowtowing in front of him, and secretly sighed in his heart. When the hundred officials kowtow, of course, it is the favorite plot of every emperor, because at this time, they can fully feel the majesty of the imperial power, their own strength, whether they are ambitious or not, they are still the masters of these people, no matter what they want them to do, these people will obey unconditionally.

But he also knew that in a moment he would be surrounded by droughts, floods, famines, and even riots, but that was not his concern. Ten years later, he was already immune to these things; He had learned to nap with his eyes open, and to take the noise of his courtiers as a lullaby without leaving the slightest hint of sleepiness.

Since the defeat of the Northern Expedition, Li Jing has gradually woken up to the fact that what to unify the world and what to dominate the Central Plains may just be an unattainable dream. Their ambitions are often killed by the courtiers' tendency to be inflammatory, and the higher they are held, the worse they fall, and the more the officials are in agreement, the more they show their loyalty, which is also the miasma that they can't see reality, and they hate it but are helpless.

After the salute was over, the ministers were lined up, and Li Jing on the dragon throne was ready to be surrounded by trivial matters, and his eyes began to close slightly, starting his fugue journey. But Li Jing only relaxed before he could make a cup of tea, and then he was so startled by the sudden recital that he straightened up from the dragon seat and opened his eyes wide.

The excerpt sent by Dali Temple read out by Zuo Prime Minister Feng Yanji, and a lot of sinister words sounded like a bomb on the main hall, and the ministers were stunned, and then they were in an uproar. Many people thought that today was just a party, but they did not expect to encounter such a shocking thing.

"Your Majesty, the excerpt of Dali Temple was delivered to Jinling yesterday night, and the minister did not dare to enter the palace overnight to disturb His Majesty. Because the minister also has to verify some details, such as checking the seal of Dali Temple to find out whether the confession is true. As for Liu Renzhan's confession of Li Yuan's 'private arsonance of the rebel general Li Song, and the alliance with the puppet court of the Northern Kingdom', the minister could not immediately verify the matter. Feng Yanji said in a deep voice after reading the excerpt.

Li Jing sat on the throne and frowned, this sudden situation made him unprepared, and now he really has a headache for Li Yuan. Throwing away any hidden fears, Li Yuan has repeatedly performed miraculous feats at a young age, as a famous general in the world, as the youngest festival envoy of the dynasty, and now he is an indispensable commander of the army for the revitalization of the Tang Dynasty.

Although in fact, he did have scruples about this person, and even began to deliberately check and balance it, but that was also a normal and helpless move of the emperor's subordinates, and he really didn't want this young general to have the idea of rebellion.

What's more, at this time, his own son Li Congjia is still trapped in Langzhou and has not returned, if Li Yuan's crime of rebellion is true, not only will his holy decree of rewarding Li Yuan's rebellion a few days ago become a joke, but Li Congjia's life is estimated to be difficult to protect......

As for Liu Renzhan, Li Jing remembered the past as soon as he heard the name and the confession in the letter.

Before he ascended the throne, he often heard the first emperor praise Liu's loyalty, and he even personally brought Zhong to visit Ezhou. At that time, Liu Renzhan was in his prime, covered with armor on the back of the tiger, but he always upheld the color of humility in his gestures, and he also praised him for having the style of a general, but most of the people he saw in a high position were humble, and he didn't care too much, just smiled.

Until this year, Li Jinquan took the opportunity to rebel when the Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty and the emptiness of Jiangbei suddenly made the Tang Dynasty stormy. At that time, I was really moved, and I finally realized that what the first emperor said was true, and I saw loyal ministers in adversity......

Li Jing was reminded of many memories at once, but when he thought of this, he couldn't help but secretly think to himself, when he was in danger, he could see that Liu Renzhan was loyal and brave, and why wasn't Li Yuan like this? But this loyal veteran came forward to identify it, but he couldn't help but believe it, what was going on?

"Your Majesty, how to deal with this matter, the ministers only wait for Your Majesty's holy will." Feng Yanji's voice interrupted Li Jing's chaotic thoughts, he came back to his senses and glanced at the hall, but saw more than a hundred faces looking at him with nervous expressions on their faces.

"Feng Xiang, this matter is very important. I ask you, can Liu Renzhan's confession be confirmed to be his own confession? Li Jing asked in a deep voice.
