Chapter 2: Dali Temple Prison
"Pan You! You slandered Buddhism, and insulted the widow in public, do you really think that the widow will not dare to kill you? ”
Pan You was staring at Li Yu just now, but this Li Yu was like a split nerve, he drew his sword against Pan You's neck, his face was full of anger, and his whole body trembled. He was about to cut himself.
Just when he was wondering, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps behind him getting closer and closer, it was the traitor Fu Shilang! There is no need to inform the people in this palace who can directly enter the Xingqing Palace, who else can there be besides Li Yu's favored ministers.
But why did Li Yu suddenly hold a sword and reprimand himself? Could it be that he has been pretending to favor this person, but in fact, he is looking at the situation in the Qing Dynasty?
"Humph! You value the Buddha so much, you don't hesitate to empty the treasury to build temples and preach, Jinling City will support thousands of monks, thousands of Buddhist temples, and the Tang Dynasty will die in your hands sooner or later! ”
"Bold Pan You, the lord of the country is bent on the Buddha and can't bear to kill you, but you have intensified your slander against the Buddha and humiliated the king, today I will kill you for the lord of the country to set the record straight!"
"Lord, if you don't kill this arrogant man today, more people will commit crimes in the future." As soon as Fu Shilang spoke, he wanted to ask someone to drag Pan You down and behead him.
"No, the widow has been fasting and concentrating on chanting the Buddha recently, and there is no blood visible, so he will be put into the Dali Temple prison first, and the widow will fall after a while."
After Pan You was pressed down, Fu Hong, the provincial servant under the door, hung down and presented a fold.
"This is the recital of Zhang Li, the concubine of Zuo Chunfang, please take a look."
Zhang Yan? I remembered that in history, this Zhang Tong was also a loyal minister who advocated the whole army to resist the Song Xingtang Dynasty, but in the early stage, in order to gain the trust of Fu and Meng, he slapped the horse and flattered him.
Later, he was named by Li Yu as the supervisor of the imperial history, but in fact, it was a sharp weapon for Fu and Meng to supervise hundreds of officials. However, after gaining power, he and Han Xizai and others jointly impeached Fu, Meng Zhi and others, but unfortunately Li Yu only knew pleasure in the later period and did not ask about political affairs, which made Zhang Tong and other people who advocated against the Song Dynasty die unjustly, and Han Xizai and others also died depressed.
"Ten cases of reform?"
In one fell swoop, two are slightly smaller, three are rewards and punishments, four are famous, five are virtuous, and six are seconded......
Some of these reforms inherited the old system of the Tang Dynasty, and some were similar to the new system of the Later Zhou Dynasty.
If Li Yu really insisted on the ten cases of reform, not to mention the destruction of Zhao Kuangyin, it would not be impossible to revive the prosperous era of the Second Tang Dynasty.
Suddenly, Li Xiang's body shook, stared at the fold and turned his head to look at Fu Shilang, and immediately asked.
"Fu Qing, what month is it?"
"Lord, my dynasty is used to build long in the first year of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the current day is the second day of the Fuyue."
Fuyue? According to the ancient system, the month of Fuyue is June, and the history books show that Zhang Tong wrote on the day of Meng Qiu, that is, July! The historical timeline has changed! That is to say, I have the opportunity to prosper the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, and even have the possibility of destroying Zhao Kuangyin.
"Hahahaha!" Li Xiang held his chin and looked at the fold, and laughed heartily uncontrollably. But then it returned to normal, and his eyes were fixed on Fu Hong.
Fu Hong didn't dare to look directly at Li Xiang, lowered his head and thought about something, thinking that this lord of the country admires flowers and composes poems, drinks and dances every day, or is addicted to Buddhism, how can he be interested in this government reform, as for this ten cases of Zhang Yan's reform, he didn't take it seriously at all, he just wanted to help him up and become a puppet of his own control of hundreds of officials.
"Fu Qing, what do you think of the regulations written on this note?"
"This reform should be decided by the lord of the country, and the minister only sees that this Zhang Yan is indeed a talent..."
"Needless to say! According to what Fu Qing said, as for Zhang Li, I think he can be promoted to the Senate of the General Political Department. ”
"Lord of the country, at present, there are people in the hundred officials who are derelict in their duties, and they are short of their duties, and there is still a gap in the post of supervising the imperial history."
"The widow is a little tired today."
Fu Shilang was about to change the direction of the wind and help Zhang Tong to the post of supervising the imperial history, when suddenly Li Xiang yawned and walked out of Xingqing Palace directly.
Behind him, Fu Shilang's face turned blue and white for a while, and he was puzzled and doubtful in his heart, I don't know if this lord is really tired, or if he has the heart to reform. I secretly think that we rely on the lord of the country to get the favor of the Buddha, if he really wants to ask about politics, then we and other people who are not familiar with government affairs will also lose power. Anyway, this Zhang is still under control, and let him make a show of reform.
Chengtianmen
"Hey, do you think that the lord of this country really plans to descend to the Song Dynasty, the emperor has gone, and he has to cede the land."
"It's hard to say, if you live in a temple for dozens of days, it's hard to expect to use Buddha to fight the Song Dynasty."
"If you two don't want your tongue, I can cut it right now." Li Yuanzhen walked to the two guards of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army of Chengtianmen with a knife. The two of them instantly seemed to have their tongues cut out, straightened up and said nothing.
Li Xiang was about to return to the dormitory, and found that Li Yuanzhen, the commander of the forbidden army, was wearing a gold-lacquered cloud-headed black hammer armor, heroic, tall and brave.
recalled that when he escorted the stubborn donkey Pan You just now, he unloaded his strength with his fake hand, and felt a little clueless.
"Let Commander Li watch the night for the widow tonight." Li Yuanzhen was brought into Li Yu's bedroom by the old eunuch in such an unclear way.
I thought I was standing outside the palace to guard, but Li Yuanzhen didn't see Da Zhou come here for a long time, and he was suspicious outside for a long time, and was suddenly summoned into the palace by Li Xiang. This Li Yuanzhen looks about twenty-three or four-four years old, and his figure is mighty, but his face is not as dark and angry as other generals.
"Your name is Li Yuanzhen? Words what. ”
"The lord of the country, my father Li Xiong wrote a long and straight inscription for me."
"Chang straight, get up, wait! You say your father is Li Xiong? Li Xiang knocked on his head, he remembered that Li Xiong was loyal to Yue Fei of the Southern Song Dynasty as a Tang minister, and in 973 AD Zhao Kuangyin sent troops to attack the Tang Dynasty, and Li Xiong commanded his subordinates to resist bloodily.
I heard that Li Yu was besieged in Jinling, and personally led the troops to the east to rescue, lined up in Luyang to fight a decisive battle with the Song army, and dragged the Song army for three days, but unfortunately they were outnumbered, and a family of eight died in the hands of the Song army, and Li Xiong's own head was taken by Zhao Kuangyin to sacrifice the flag.
"Long straight! Where is Li Qing now, and where is he? Li Xiang suddenly leaned in and put his hands on Li Yuanzhen's shoulders, Li Yuanzhen retreated unconsciously, and looked at Li Xiang's posture in surprise, but he didn't dare to look directly into his eyes.
"My father is stationed in Luzhou, and now he lives in Baoxinjie."
"Very good, there are loyal ministers like Li Qing in the west who have arrived in the Song Dynasty, and the border of my Tang Kingdom can be safe." When Li Yuanzhen heard this, he suddenly realized that the lord of the country was not unintentional to resist the Song Dynasty.
"Lord of the country, you don't know that you live in the Buddhist hall, most of the hundred officials in the court are Fu, and Meng and the others are in control.
And recently, the border defense has been tight, and the military salary is urgent!
But Fu, Meng Zhizhi and others used the silver from the national treasury to build Buddhas and temples and buy houses.
Regardless of the safety of the border soldiers, and even the army is already loyal to Li Tang, it is better to obey Zhao Song's words! ”
I don't know if I don't listen, I was shocked when I heard it, has this Southern Tang Dynasty been made like this by Li Yu, I originally had a glimmer of hope for Fu Hong's dog legs, but now if I don't get rid of this dog thing, I am afraid that the Song army will kill it, and he will directly cut off my head and dedicate it to Zhao Kuangyin.
"Chang Zhi said, the widow is not ignorant, but who in the army is willing to resist the Song Dynasty, who secretly descends to the Song Dynasty, the widow is difficult to investigate, and the Buddha in the DPRK is also sent by Zhao Kuangyin to monitor the widow..."
It turns out that this Li Yu is not unlearned, nor is he a king of the dead country, but he has plans to revive the Tang Dynasty and destroy the Song Dynasty.
"I've summoned you tonight, but I need Changzhi's help on something important."
"The lord of the country is serious, and the ministers are human ministers, so they can't help!"
"I'm going to go to Dali Temple Prison to see Pan Qing, do you have any way to let the widow sneak in."
"In Dali Temple, there are indeed brothers in the army, if you want to sneak in quietly, you still need the lord of the country..."
......
Dali Temple Prison
"Go and tell your master, I, Pan You, would rather die in prison than never..." Pan You in the prison saw that someone had opened the lock of the cell, thinking that it was the traitor who had sent his subordinates to recruit him, and he also understood that he was only a knife away from death now, but when he looked up, he saw the lord of the country standing in front of him wearing the clothes of a jailer.
"Minister, knock to the lord of the country."
"Pan Qing, get up, the widow has something to ask you."
"The lord of the country wants to ask me if the Tang Kingdom can attack the Song Dynasty, the minister is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he still has to tell the lord of the country truthfully, and now my Tang Kingdom cannot openly start a war with the Song Dynasty."
Yes, this Pan You is a civil servant, but he is not a civil servant who can only spray brainlessly in the Ming Dynasty at that time, and he still has some opinions on state affairs.
Seeing that Li Xiang was silent, Pan You hurriedly elaborated on the brief description of the war avoidance.
"My Tang Kingdom has been defeated repeatedly in wars with the Northern Zhou Dynasty since the time of the Central Lord, not because the army is vulnerable, but because the Central Lord is unwilling to follow the previous national policy.
During the reign of Emperor Guangwen Suwu (Li Sheng), he used the strategy of attacking the country from the south to the north, forming alliances with the surrounding small countries, and the strong soldiers of the Northern Zhou did not dare to attack easily. ”
"Do you mean that my Tang Kingdom is now weak and actually defeated by the former emperor Li Jing?"
Li Xiang naturally also knew that it was this Li Jing who was greedy for small profits during his reign, and kept attacking the surrounding small countries, although he expanded the territory to the peak, but the Northern Zhou Dynasty and even the later Song Dynasty were able to conquer the Tang Kingdom without any worries, just because you Li Jing offended the surrounding neighbors.
But you Pan You are also a little bolder, spraying people's fathers in front of Li Yu, no wonder an indecisive person like Li Yu in history can't help but want to kill you.
Pan You thought for a moment, then looked directly at Li Xiang.
"Yes, when Yuanzong was in power, my Tang Dynasty troops had reached 200,000, and at that time, Han Xizai, the squire of Zhongshu, was the main Chen Bing north and entered the Central Plains.
It's a pity that Yuanzong only wanted to make small profits in neighboring countries and lost the best opportunity to enter the Central Plains. ”
"What Pan Qing said, the widow is not unknown, the widow also wants to reconcile with the neighboring countries and organize the army to resist the Song Dynasty, but..."
Here's the point, I'm just waiting for you to call the list, hurry up and hand over the list to me! Li Xiang was already impatient in his heart, he sent Pan You to this cell and waited for the night meeting in the small black room, and the available people were taken out of Pan You's mouth, plotting to resist the Song Dynasty.
"The lord of the country, if you are determined to fight the Song Dynasty together with the small states in the south, you can send Taishi Ling Wang Huan to envoy to Nanping, Zhongshu Sheren Zhang Xun to envoy to Shu, and Xiafu Zhichong Governor Liu Pei to envoy to Han..."
It's coming, it's coming! It's finally here, isn't this just a second start a business directly through the stall left by Daddy Li Jing, although the stall is a little rotten, but it's also a big stall.
In history, in 963 AD, Zhao Kuangyin destroyed Nanping.
In 965, Hou Shu was destroyed, and the Southern Han was destroyed four years before the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Then Zhao Kuangyin went straight to the strongest Tang State, and when Li Yu came to his senses, the border of the Tang State was surrounded by Song Dynasty troops.
Now although these small countries are numb by Li Yu's father, but after Zhao Song stabilized the military power, it is obvious that they are the most anxious, as long as they send an alliance to stabilize them, they will be dragged to the Tang State to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and I, the CEO of the Tang Dynasty, will be directly invincible.
"Lord of the Kingdom! The lord of the country? Pan You was talking when he suddenly saw Li Xiang standing pinching his chin and smiling, as if he had fallen into an evil spirit.
"Huh? Oh, what Pan Qing said, the widow wrote it down, but it was just above the court..."Li Xiang heard Pan You keep calling the lord of the country, and quickly returned to normal, and then his face was full of sadness, these people are not fake, but now that he has just ascended the throne, everything in the court may not be as he wishes.
"The minister has a plan, which can solve my lord's worries! You can also get rid of Fu Meng! ”
