"Oh, Lord Li knows me?" Zilong knew that Ren Bufan must have told Li Dongyang his identity, so after putting down the snacks, he signaled if he could sit down, and after getting Li Dongyang's consent, he sat down.

"I've heard it for a long time!" Li Dongyang twisted his long beard and said with a smile, "The old man and Yang Yiqing can be said to be old friends, before he was dismissed by Liu Jin, he has been talking with me very happily and very closely!"

"Ah? Yang Yiqing, Brother Yang, I really haven't seen Brother Yang for a long time, and I miss it very much! I don't know where Brother Yang is now, but is it okay?" Zilong also remembered that Yang Yiqing had mentioned to him Li Dongyang, the first assistant of the cabinet, and immediately asked happily.

After he met Yang Yiqing, he went to Ningxia, and since then, he has never seen Yang Yiqing again, nor has he received any news from him.

"He is very happy, drinking tea every day, listening to music, reading books, and nourishing his qi, which is much easier than me, the head of the cabinet, but it is much easier!" Li Dongyang said with a smile on his face, but in his words, he seemed to be extremely envious of Yang Yiqing's current leisurely and happy life, and then he changed his words and said, "Before you came, His Royal Highness King An had sent a letter to tell me your true identity, can I take a look at your true appearance now?"

"Yes!" When Zilong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he wiped his hand on his face without hesitation, and directly gave the disguise technique on his face, revealing the true face of Lushan.

Even if Li Dongyang had already known from Yang Yiqing, Ren Bufan and King An that Xu Zilong's true identity and his appearance was exactly the same as that of Emperor Zizhengde today, but when he saw Zilong's true face at first glance, he still couldn't help but lose his mind for a while, and after a while, he suddenly came to his senses, shook his head, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "It's old, it's almost indistinguishable!"

"Lord Li's eyes are like torches, he is the first person in the dynasty, how can he not tell the difference!" Zilong smiled.

"Their identity has already been told to me, and when I see you today, I will confirm it without a doubt!" Li Dongyang sighed leisurely and said, "So if you call me Lord Li again, it is actually extremely inappropriate, in my opinion, it is better for you to call me Xiya Gong!

"Everything is under the orders of the Duke of Xiya!" Zilong replied.

"Good, good, good!" Li Dongyang said three good words in a row, but he was extremely satisfied with Zilong's performance, and couldn't help but nod and said, "I heard King An and Yang Yiqing tell me that Zilong is humble and benevolent, similar to the first emperor, but I only thought they were flattering. Now it seems that it is really very much in the style of the first emperor, it is really the luck of the first emperor, and I am the luck of the Ming Dynasty!"

This is the first time that Zilong has been linked to his father, who has never met, and the person who opened his mouth is still extremely close to Emperor Hongzhi, and can be regarded as an old minister of the three dynasties who is also a teacher and friend of Emperor Hongzhi.

At that moment, Zilong couldn't help but be a little happy when he heard it, and said humbly: "Although I have never met my father, I have heard his deeds from many people. From my own point of view, there is still a long way to go between me and his old man today! At least he can prosper in the Ming Dynasty, but I can't!"

"Haha!" Li Dongyang originally came with doubts, although he knew Zilong's identity, had also heard the descriptions of King An and Yang Yiqing, and knew Zilong's general temperament, but before they met, he always had to have reservations.

At this moment, he had a brief conversation with Zilong, although there were only three or two sentences, Li Dongyang could keenly find that this young man had inherited many advantages of Emperor Hongzhi.

For example, the humility and benevolence mentioned before, such as the humility he is showing now, all kinds of things, but Li Dongyang seems to see the reincarnation of Hongzhi, and the prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty is about to return, and he can't help but have eyes full of water vapor, and said with emotion: "First emperor, you finally have a successor!"

After finishing speaking, Li Dongyang didn't avoid Zilong's presence, and he burst into tears like this.

Obviously, he is really saddened by the death of Emperor Hongzhi and the chaos caused by Emperor Hongzhi's absence.

When Zilong saw this, after thinking about it for a while, he roughly guessed what Li Dongyang was thinking, and immediately comforted him, and after a while, he persuaded Li Dongyang.

"Hehe, it's the godson that you saw the joke!" Li Dongyang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with emotion, "When the first emperor was dying, he entrusted me, Liu Jian, and Xie Qian, and ordered the three of us to assist Jinshang well and maintain the Daming country that he had finally reorganized!" But although the three of us are full of enthusiasm and want to die to repay the kindness of the emperor, they are helpless and stubborn today, they only know how to play, and they trust eunuchs like Liu Jin, which has led to a sharp turn in the government and government.

"Don't worry about Xiya Gong, the wind knows the strength of the grass, and the Bandang knows the loyal ministers! Although the government is now in turmoil because of Liu Jin and other eunuchs! But under the vigorous mediation of Xiya Gong and Yang University, it is also trying to ensure that my Ming Dynasty does not lose its righteousness, I think if my father is alive, he will also commend the merits of Xiya Gong and Yang University!" Zilong couldn't help but quote this poem, but this was Wan'er's original teaching Zilong to learn words, Zilong thought this poem was good, so he wrote it down, but now he uses it.

It's just that he doesn't know the source of this poem, so he said it from his mouth, and as the son of Emperor Hongzhi, he said it to the head of the court.

But Li Dongyang was stunned for a moment, and then he was inexplicably excited, and solemnly saluted Zilong, and said proudly: "Thank you Zilong for your praise, but the old man is ashamed, ashamed!"

"Deserve it, Xiya Gong is humble!" Zilong didn't know what the problem was, he only thought that Li Dongyang was caused by humility, so he immediately held his hand and said sincerely.

Li Dongyang came to see Zilong's eyes, and found that there was no trace of falsity in his eyes, so he couldn't help but smile and nodded and said, "Okay, then the old man will be ashamed!"

"That's the best!" Zilong said inexplicably.

At this time, this poem was written by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, praising his subordinate courtier Xiao Yu.

This Xiao Yu was an official of the Sui Dynasty, and later surrendered to Li Tang and was a courtier of Li Shimin.

During this period, no matter who was under his command, he was known for his courage to do things and dare to speak out.

Now Zilong uses this poem to praise Li Dongyang, although some scenes are not quite compatible, but Li Dongyang's loyalty to the emperor and his achievements in maintaining national stability are recognized.

Although Zilong is ignorant and may not have comprehended it, Li Dongyang has already understood it so much, and he has a feeling of being a confidant in his heart, and he has a better and better impression of the son of the first emperor who met for the first time.

At that moment, the two chatted again, and Zilong went straight to the point, and directly asked Li Dongyang about the Ningxia uprising, and the views and actions of the Qingliu civil official faction.

Before coming, Li Dongyang actually hadn't made up his mind about how to deal with Zilong and the Ningxia uprising.

But after meeting Zilong, his favorability towards Zilong became better and better, and he couldn't help but faintly flash an expectation in his heart.

Hearing Zilong's inquiry, he smiled and said directly: "King An's move, although it is quite a bit rebellious, but after all, it is also for me to set things right, and I and other literati do not support his behavior, but we will not object!"

"Oh, what does Xiya Gong mean, please make it clear!" If Zilong is placed before, I am afraid that he will not be able to understand the meaning of Li Dongyang's words, thinking that Li Dongyang is reprimanding King An's actions.

But along the way, he comprehended the classics of the three schools, and gradually understood the thoughts of the three schools, and combined with what Zhu Youqi and Qingxu Zhenren said, he understood a lot.

Confucianism puts benevolence and righteousness first, and takes loyalty and filial piety as the table!

This loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness is the connotation of Confucianism.

Now King An's move, although it is for the sake of the Qing monarch and the return of the Ming Dynasty to the right track, the measures he has taken, from the perspective of Confucianism, are really a bit contrary to the rules of the monarch and the ministers.

Li Dongyang, as a generation of Confucianism, cannot fully support King An's moves, but Zilong can understand it at this time.

Later, he said that he did not object, and Zilong also understood, after all, Li Dongyang also knew that it was never a long-term solution to rely on the fighting method of Qingliu civil officials and Liu Jin alone!

"Actually, the old man's meaning is very simple! Because of Liu Jin, we, the literati, can temporarily allow King An to raise troops to deter Liu Jin, so that he will not dare to act recklessly! But we can't agree to King An leading troops to the capital and implement the military advice on the side of the Qing monarch!" Li Dongyang also did not make a detour, and directly said the meaning of the Qingliu civil official faction.

After hearing this, Zilong couldn't help frowning, and asked puzzledly: "Ah? Why is this?

"I can't talk about pointing!" Li Dongyang smiled, and after making Zilong feel a little less worried, he said slowly, "The capital is the foundation of the society, and the imperial court is located. If you are really led by King An to the capital with a large army, where do you think the face of the court is, where is the prestige, and what will you take in the future to command the world?"

"This ......" Zilong originally heard King An's plan, but he was very happy, after all, he was born in the rivers and lakes, but he liked this kind of straightforward approach.

But after listening to the disadvantages of Li Dongyang at this time, he couldn't help but feel deeply reasonable.

The capital is an example for the world, if it is really led by King An and arrives in the city, I am afraid that the world will be shaken, and many people with bad intentions will think that the capital is weak, and they will cause trouble everywhere.

"Besides, King An is here with a large army, if he really arrives under the capital, Zilong, can you guarantee that he will not change his mind, he doesn't want to enter the capital, and follow the story of Taizong back then?" Li Dongyang looked at Zilong with a smile and said a rather damning word.
