In the second year of Baoda, Li Jing was in the prime of life, full of enthusiasm and ambition, abandoning his father's conservative policy, sending documents from the sea, preparing to recruit talents, and it was Yu Sang, the Marquis of Dingguo, who started to do this.

Seven years ago, the Shangguan family, the father and son were officials in the same dynasty, Shangguan Yusang was the marquis of Dingguo, Shangguan Feihong was subordinate to the Ministry of War, the father and son were both meritorious, the Holy Emperor was merciful, the lintel was glorious, and he was envious of others.

Since the day the edict was issued, Shangguan Yusang stayed in the hall on time every day, from late autumn to cold winter, selecting and observing...... Very careful, and then listed dozens of unsatisfactory Hou Xiu sent into the hall, I never thought that among the recruited personnel, Li Jing only shook his head at the sky, and was not satisfied.

Shangguan Yusang speculated about the holy will, maybe Li Jing is now full of pride, and the heart of conquest is flourishing, what he wants is not only a civil general, not a person who only relies on lip service, but a capable person, a genius of the sky, but where to find this kind of strange man?

Looking at this troubled era, although there are many capable people, but since the Tang Dynasty was taken away by Zhu Wen, the Taizu of Houliang, it has been in chaos, and there are kings and hegemons everywhere, separating one side, and embracing their own small countries, and their wives and children can be queens, princes, and princesses, and the situation is chaotic.

Even if there are strange people, I am afraid that they have already been drowned in the rolling torrent, either ambitious, or drifting with the tide and tending to the flames.

There are a few people who really assist Li Tang in the world, and if you take it a step further, who still remembers the Li family Datang?

In the past, the Tang Dynasty fell, Li Cunqiao and his father Li Ke used the name of the Li family to recover the lost land and rebuild the Tang Dynasty in the name of the Li family, but it didn't take long for them to fall into the hands of others.

Later, the Central Plains Emperor took turns, first Shi Jingjiao of the Later Jin Dynasty, and then the Liu family of the Later Han Dynasty, and now, the Central Plains is in the hands of Guo Wei.

The Tang Dynasty of the Li family was the only one left in the Southern Tang Dynasty, which occupied the area north of Jiangnan East Road and near Huainan Province, and why was this so? Because Li Jing's father was a descendant of Li Ke, the eighth son of Tang Xianzong, he had always regarded himself as a royal family surnamed Li, wandered around in troubled times, and worked hard to establish the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The Li family also relied on these to start slowly, and when the country eased up, Li Jing naturally hoped to restore the former glory of the Li family's Tang Dynasty.

Everyone remembers the shame at the end of the Tang Dynasty, since the Huangchao Uprising, Tang Xizong was forced to flee from the capital of Chang'an, the world has never been calm, the forces of all parties have expanded, and the princes and thieves have coveted the throne.

Tang Zhaozong, the last emperor of Li Tang, tried to extinguish this turmoil, but was killed by Zhu Wen and established the Later Liang Dynasty.

Fortunately, Li Keyong, who was loyal to the Tang Dynasty, united with the old Tang Dynasty to crusade against Zhu Wen, a traitor and thief, until Li Keyong unfortunately died of illness, and his son Li Cunqiao inherited his father's will, captured Kaifeng, and defeated the Zhu dynasty.

But the Later Tang Dynasty did not have a long peace, Li Cunqiao also died, and died in the chaos, and the Later Tang Dynasty died in another bloody shame.

It seems that the people of the Li family have never been stable, Li Keyong has been loyal to the Tang Dynasty and has worked hard all his life, Li Cunqiao destroyed the Houliang, took revenge, and died suddenly before recovering other countries.

Li Cunmiao's sons were also expelled by Li Siyuan, and Li Jiqi died in Weishui because he wanted to avenge his father Li Cunqing.

What about Li Feng? Since he was a child, he has never rested, and he is always thinking about how to complete the will of the Tang Dynasty.

This seems to be the fate of the Li family.

Li Jing respected Li Keyong's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, set up a special temple, and occasionally talked about their heroic history.

If he wants to chase the Central Plains, how can he succeed with just one blood? Shake his head, shake his head again, he only has to wait - wait.

One day, the Jinling at dusk was sprinkled with the remnant sun like blood, the red was dazzling, and in this frosty and cold season, the blood red of the sky was particularly prominent.

A young man in a white shirt entered the city, the white shirt was very white, three points whiter than the snowflakes, his people were like the maple on the river, like the maple bridge at night, and like the maple leaves on the shore of the lake, swirling into the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion.

Shangguan Feihong said this, his face showed a little shame, and he said to Fu Yushu: "He is Li Feng, he was eighteen years old at the time, two years younger than you, and your temperament is the same as today, he looks at it from afar, and looks polite and humble up close. ”

Shangguan Feihong sighed and said, "Sure enough, youth is capital. ”

Fu Yushu didn't dare to be sure of the intention of Shangguan Feihong's words to himself, but he also wanted to know Liu Feng's secret, so he couldn't help but interject: "No wonder Shangguan Shibo often says that he and Yushuhui are a pair of bosom friends, and he can enter the Dingguo Marquis Mansion at this time, presumably by self-recommendation." ”

Shangguan Feihong nodded, and then said, "Yes, he came to see the emperor's notice." ”

The person who received Li Feng was naturally Shangguan Yusang, and Li Feng sat in the hall, sipping tea and waiting.

When Shangguan Yusang saw him for the first time, he was stunned at first, and he didn't know if it was caused by Li Feng's appearance or Li Feng's thin white clothes.

In the bitter cold and deep winter, the ice and snow were all over the ground, he was just covered by a thin white shirt, light and fluttering, the whole person was like a bamboo pole propped up, ordinary people dressed like this, they would be shivering from the cold, but Li Feng sat for a long time and did not react.

Shangguan Yusang watched behind the screen for a long time, and only felt that one was different and out of the world.

Slowly walking out of the curtain tent, Shangguan Yu Sang coughed lightly, Li Feng hurriedly got up and said respectfully: "Presumably this is Lord Shangguan, the Marquis of Dingguo, who is disturbing Li Feng." ”

Shangguan Yusang sat opposite him, took the hot tea brought by his subordinates, and said, "You are here?"

Li Feng said without thinking: "Yes!"

Shangguan Yusang glanced at him a few times, took a sip of tea, pulled down his eyelids, and said lazily: "What do you ......?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Feng held a small square letter and said with a smile: "Before coming, Li Feng prepared a few words of emotion, Lord Shangguan, please take a look." ”

Shangguan Yusang looked at the book, and then looked at Li Feng's humble but not bowing, bowing but not humble posture, seeing Li Feng pursed his lips and smiled lightly, his attitude was modest, and he reluctantly picked up the book.

Li Feng didn't feel any discomfort and returned to his original position and sat down.

Shangguan Yusang stared at the book, turned two pages and was stunned, with a surprised look, looked at the young man in front of him and said, "This is ...... What did you write?"

Li Feng smiled, stood up and said, "It is exactly what Li Feng wrote, ......" and then pointed to the letter and asked, "What do you think about this?"

Shangguan Yu Sang stood up with his beard, and said after a while: "What you said is reasonable, and the analysis of the current situation of the Later Jin Dynasty is also extremely unique and incisive, the young emperor of the Jin Dynasty is noble and incompetent, and it is a matter of time before the army is defeated, but judging from the last few battles, they seem to have the possibility of winning completely." ”

With a questioning face, Shangguan Yu Sang set his eyes on Li Feng.

Li Feng said with a smile: "The Jin Kingdom and the Khitan were originally as close as father and son, when the founding emperor Shi Jingjiao wanted to resist the soldiers and horses of the Later Tang Dynasty, for his own selfish desires, he took the sixteen states of Yanyun as a condition in exchange for the protection of the Khitan lord Yelu Deguang, and sent troops to attack the court of Li Congke, the son of Li Siyuan of Tang Mingzong. Later, the Tang Dynasty occupied a powerful terrain in the Central Plains, and the soldiers were strong, but due to Li Siyuan's illness and death, irreconcilable contradictions appeared within the Later Tang Dynasty. ”

Speaking of this, a trace of regret flashed in Li Feng's eyes, he paused for a while, and then said: "Shi Jingjiao defeated the Tang army, worshiped Yelu Deguang as his father, and moved the capital to the feudal Jin Dynasty as the emperor. ”

Before he finished speaking, Li Feng said angrily: "But he actually ceded the land of the Central Plains to foreign tribes frequently, the sixteen states of Yanyun were originally dangerous places, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the soldiers of the Central Plains have always been good at defending the city, and the soldiers of the ethnic minorities in the north are good at attacking, and if they lose the sixteen states of Yanyun, there will be no natural barrier in the north, so that the land of the Central Plains has been repeatedly invaded by the Liao, and the people in the north have been destroyed and trampled by the Liao. ”

Li Feng raised his head and sighed: "In the past, the Tang Dynasty was in the hands of others, how many generations of monarchs have changed, and how many surnames are there?"

Li Feng's mood fluctuated, and he snorted: "Compared with the Khitan soldiers, the Jin soldiers are weak and the generals are weak, the people are not ashamed of Emperor Shi Jingjiao'er's actions, the courtiers are dissatisfied with the attachment to the Khitan, and the Khitan is greedy and lacks greed, and wants more benefits, and Shi Jingjiao is not pleasing on both sides." It can be said that since the founding of the Later Jin Dynasty, it has been in a state of turmoil, never settled, Shi Chonggui is a brave man, incompetent and incompetent, after ascending the throne, trying to get out of the control of the Khitan, so that he fell out with the Khitan and lost his reliance, the Jin State is currently exhausted, and if it goes on like this, it is a desperate situation. ”

Li Feng's tone paused slightly, and continued: "The Khitan this southern expedition, the army pressed the border, Yelu Deguang vowed to eradicate Shi Chonggui, and now Shi Chonggui can win a few battles, all because of the soldiers' hatred of foreign tribes, with a perseverance to protect the family and defend the country, but the Jin State's troops have always been insufficient, there are no good soldiers, the monarch is incompetent, loyalty and treachery are not distinguished, and it will not be supported for long." Liu Zhiyuan stayed in Taiyuan to recruit troops and buy horses, and refused to send troops, sitting on the mountain behind the back to watch the tiger fight, if the time is ripe, the land of the Central Plains, I am afraid that it will fall into the hands of the Liu family. ”

Shangguan Yu Sang sighed: "Our Majesty wants to recover the Central Plains and regain the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, so he issued a notice, raising troops for so long, Your Majesty lacks such talents to conquer the world." ”

Shangguan Yu Sang glanced at Li Feng deeply and said, "What Your Majesty wants is someone who is truly loyal to the Tang Dynasty and the Li family." ”

When Li Feng heard this, Huo Ran turned his head, and as soon as his palm was loosened, Shangguan Yu Sang saw a piece of Li Tang's royal jade pendant appear in front of him.

Shangguan Yusang looked at Li Feng in surprise and said in a trembling voice: "This is the jade pendant of the Li Tang family, you ...... Are you ......?"

Li Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhuangzong Li Cunqiao is my grandfather. ”

Shangguan Yusang said suddenly: "No wonder the old man thinks you are familiar, you look too similar to your grandfather." While speaking, he couldn't help but look at Li Feng, and when he saw that Li Feng was puzzled, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Since you are a descendant of Li Tang, then the old man will tell you the truth, our Shangguan family is the same clan relative of Shangguan Yi during the reign of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the old man also fought with his father, and had a relationship with your grandfather, he was very brave, he was a rare genius, although he only met once, but he made a deep impression on the old man. ”

Li Feng quietly put away the jade pendant, Shangguan Yusang flipped through the book again, and said: "The political situation in Fujian is chaotic now, and my majesty has sent troops to fight for more than a year, but now the two sides are holding each other, and the Tang soldiers and horses are going to Fujian again, and the war is outside, the grain and grass are not enough, and it is inevitable that people are sleepy and lacking, what do you think is the best way to win?"
