"Is that really what the people from Luliuzhuang said?" asked Emperor Li Jing of the Southern Tang Dynasty with a calm face.

"That's right, how dare the younger brother deceive the saint?" Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, said cautiously, Li Jingsui always had a feeling that he couldn't see through him, the imperial brother. Although the relationship between the two brothers has been excellent since childhood, Li Jing trusts him even more, and even regarded him as the crown prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty for a time. However, the power of heaven is unpredictable, and brotherly love is insignificant for a temperamental animal like a dragon. Besides, he completely messed up this matter.

"Presumptuous!" Li Jing slapped the dragon case and was furious, "I am the son of the Tang Dynasty, the whole world is mine, what is Luliuzhuang? Then Li Fengyun is even more bold, entering and leaving the king's mansion, as if entering a no-man's land, Li Fengming, how did you become the commander of Fengchenwei?

Why didn't this outlaw be arrested and brought to justice, how could I allow him to act arbitrarily in my Datang realm?

Li Fengming, I ordered you to arrest Li Fengyun within three days, and if you resist, you will be killed!

I want to see what kind of person this Li Fengyun is, a man with three heads and six arms. ”

"The emperor can't!" Li Fengming was shocked, took a step forward, and knelt on the ground, "This Li Fengyun is not an ordinary person, and he has a huge influence in the rivers and lakes. The people regarded him as a god-like figure.

He rode into Kaifeng alone, and even the emperor of Liao never embarrassed him. If the emperor wants to arrest him, I am afraid that it will cause the world to shake, and the people's will will be unstable, which is not good for my Datang.

In the opinion of the minister, it is better to marry Li Fengyun, Hua Jieyu is just a woman in a green building......"

"Shut up!" Li Jing shouted angrily, "Li Fengming, do you still want to persuade me to let go of the flowers? I am the true dragon emperor, can't I even get a woman? As my eagle dog, I am not thin on you, not only do you not do things for me, but speak for a thief like Li Fengyun, do you still have a monarch in your heart?"

"The minister doesn't dare!" Li Fengming lowered his head and said, "The minister just thinks that for a Qinglou woman, and ignoring the Tang Dynasty, it is not the only thing that Mingjun does!"

Li Jingsui was shocked in his heart, and his eyes became strange when he looked at Li Fengming. This Li Fengming is so bold that he dares to say such things in front of Li Jing, it is strange that Li Jing is not angry.

Sure enough, Li Jing laughed strangely and said, "Li Fengming, are you saying that I am a faint monarch? In your eyes, who is worthy of your Li Fengming's allegiance to Mingjun in the world? It seems that I have been too fond of you for so many years, making you pampered and arrogant."

Today, you dare to say such things in front of me. Do you think that that night, I didn't know about Li Fengyun when you stole Li Fengyun in the mansion?"

Li Fengming was so shocked that he was drenched in cold sweat, and hurriedly kowtowed: "That's not what the minister meant! The king is at fault, and the courtiers should admonish, this is the duty of the ministers.

The minister's temperament is reckless, and only His Majesty can tolerate the ministers in the world, and His Majesty is the master in the hearts of the ministers.

The minister is loyal to His Majesty and loyal to Datang, and this life has long been owned by Datang. If the country lives and dies for profit, can it be avoided because of misfortune and fortune? This heart can be expressed by the sun and the moon, please let Your Majesty know it. ”

Li Jingsui also hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Brother Huang, there is no doubt that Li is loyal and patriotic. This matter is indeed inappropriate for the younger brother, please don't hurt Commander Li's heart. ”

At this time, Li Jing also came back to his senses, feeling that Li Fengming's words were a little too heavy, sighed, and said: "I am also angry for a while, and I said a few angry words, Li Aiqing doesn't have to take it seriously." Li Aiqing's loyalty to me, I naturally know.

Alas, I can't imagine that I, Li Jing, although I am the Ninth Five-Year Honor, it is difficult to even get a favorite woman.

Okay, you stand down first, I'll think about it. ”

After saying that, he waved his hand and motioned for Li Jingsui and Li Fengming to retreat.

After Li Jingsui and Li Fengming left, the hall seemed even more empty.

Li Jing was restless in his heart, and kicked over the imperial case in front of him, bluffing the two eunuchs serving in the palace trembling, wanting to clean it up but not daring.

He, the emperor, is really a wretch. He has the name of the emperor, but he only occupies the land of Jianghuai, and can only rely on the danger of the river to barely compete with the Central Plains in the north.

Family affairs make him upset, and state affairs are also in danger, if he is not careful, he is in danger of overturning, maybe the next post-Jin will be his Southern Tang Dynasty.

In terms of wealth, the land south of the Yangtze River is now no less than the Central Plains. Moreover, in recent years, the Central Plains has been in turmoil, and a large number of rich gentry have poured into the Southern Tang Dynasty.

However, national strength is not only based on wealth, but also on elite soldiers.

The southern people have never produced strong soldiers, and the rich Southern Tang Dynasty and the pleasant climate could not raise strong soldiers who could withstand hard fighting, which was an irreparable shortcoming of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and also made the Southern Tang Dynasty have to succumb to the Central Plains court.

This time the Khitan went south to conquer the Central Plains, Li Jing originally thought that his opportunity had come, and when the Khitan withdrew his troops, the Central Plains, which was beaten to pieces by the Khitan, would be the place where the Southern Tang Dynasty athletes could show their skills.

Who would have thought that the Khitan occupied the Central Plains, and this time they didn't plan to leave, but they followed the ancient system of the Central Plains dynasties and changed the name of the country to Liao, which had the potential to take the Central Plains as their own. Moreover, the counter-plot of Nantang that spent a lot of money was also unsuccessful. Although the Later Jin Dynasty died, the elite soldiers of the Central Plains were still there, and the losses were not very large. Jerod Light did not massacre the captives as he had expected.

If you knew this, why did you cooperate with the Khitan in the first place?

According to the Central Plains, although the Jin Dynasty had a certain advantage over the Southern Tang Dynasty, it was not overwhelmingly sure. Now, the Khitan occupies the Central Plains, and once the rebellions in the Central Plains are quelled, the next target must be the Southern Tang Dynasty. The Khitan Iron Cavalry is not as strong as the Central Plains Soldiers, it is a stronger existence. The threat to the Southern Tang Dynasty far exceeded that of the Later Jin Dynasty at the beginning.

Countless painstaking efforts, countless vertical and horizontal strategies, but I didn't expect to get such a result in the end. This taught Li Jing some doubts about whether the national policy of uniting the Khitan to resist the Jin Dynasty was really correct.

If it weren't for the resistance of the remnants of the Min State that restrained the national strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty, this would have been a good opportunity, taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, even if he could not enter the Central Plains, he would still be able to gnaw a large piece of fat in the Central Plains.

That's what Shu did, and easily captured one of Hanzhong and coerced the Central Plains.

However, the Southern Tang Dynasty was not good, the remnants of the Fujian Kingdom, as well as the containment of Southern Chu and Wu Yue, could only drink a little bone broth.

The ministers of the court suggested that while the Liao people occupied the Central Plains, they simply raised the banner of expelling the Tartars, gained the reputation of righteousness, and made a northern expedition to the Central Plains, taking the opportunity to seize the Central Plains.

It is very simple to think: the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty could not even defeat the Later Jin Dynasty, so how could it defeat the iron cavalry of the Liao State? Although there are many forces opposing the Khitan today, the people are not united. If you rashly send troops, it just gives Liao a mouthful.

The country of Shu has the danger of mountains and rivers, and the east of the river is strong and strong, all of which are bones that are not easy to gnaw.

Only the Southern Tang Dynasty, although there is a danger of Jianghuai, but the Yellow River has not been able to stop the Khitans, why do you think that the small Huai River can stop the 300,000 iron horsemen of the Liao State?

Is it really just to come to the Central Plains to show off their might?

I'm afraid not, Yelu Deguang may not have the intention of cleaning up Nantang in his heart. After all, now that Jiangnan is rich and famous all over the world, who is willing to give up this piece of fat on the side of their mouth?
