Chapter 257 The Past of the Southern Tang Dynasty

After Li Jing said this, he fainted immediately, and there was a noise in the court, and Li Yu was also frightened.

Guo Hao did reply to Li Yu. In fact, in the past few years, the two have also had letter exchanges, mostly for poetry exchanges, otherwise Li Yu would not have been obsessed with him.

However, Guo Hao didn't spend much time in Bianliang, so the reply was not very timely. But this time, he was in Shouzhou, so he quickly replied.

In the harem, Li Yu and Empress Zhong were waiting anxiously. The imperial physician looked at Li Jing and said, "Empress, don't worry, the county marquis, your Majesty is just anxious for a moment, and it will be fine if you keep your care for a while."

After the imperial physician said that, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Queen Zhong wanted to go forward to see Li Jing, but as soon as she sat on the edge of the bed, she felt a little dizzy.

"My mother, you are fine!"

Li Yu was frightened. He had just lost his elder brother and his father fell ill. His mother is in a bad state now, which makes him feel a little confused.

"No problem, I'm just a little dizzy. Just sit for a while. Don't cry. Now that your elder brother is gone, your father is sick again. It depends on you for the matter in the court."

"I?"

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, I know nothing about politics and I am not interested in marching and fighting. I'd better let my uncle come, I really can't."

"Chongjia!"

Queen Zhong's tone suddenly became very strict, which shocked Li Yu.

"You are the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Some things you don't want to do if you don't want to do. Your father is so ill. Wouldn't you share the burden for him at all?"

Li Yu was silent. He had never thought about some things before, but now he understood why Guo Hao said that back then.

"Young people don't know the taste of sorrow..."

Li Yu feels very annoyed now, but he cannot avoid it. While his status is noble, it also means responsibility.

"But……"

"No, from today on, you have to learn how to deal with political affairs. If you don't know, ask Taifu Chang, and he will tell you how to do it!"

"I see……"

Li Yu left lonely. He was actually a very filial child. He rarely refused what his mother asked him to do. With Li Hongji here, Empress Zhong did not let Li Yu get in touch with political affairs.

But now that Li Hongji is dead, Li Jing has not returned from his fiefdom, Li Jingda has lost the battle but has not been dealt with, and the country is still in operation.

After Li Yu left, Li Jing opened his eyes and raised his hand to hold Queen Zhong's hand. Queen Zhong's tears couldn't help falling. Li Hongji was his own son. The white-haired man gave the black-haired man, so why didn't he be sad?

"His Majesty……"

Queen Zhong couldn't help but pounce on Li Jing's chest and started crying. Li Jing didn't say a word, staring at the roof blankly, and gently caressing Queen Zhong's back.

...

"Sir Guo Hao, please pay homage to Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I listen to Jia saying that your poems are good. If you want to be his teacher, what do you think?"

"The county magistrate is very kind, but the subordinates are not very grateful. But as the county magistrate's teacher, the subordinates are never afraid."

"Oh? Why don't you dare, but you feel that you are not knowledgeable enough?"

"This... Xiaguan's knowledge is indeed not enough. I have only read a few books, and the age of Xiaguan is not suitable."

"Oh? How old are you this year?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, after the New Year, I have just finished the seventeenth."

"Seventeen? Cough cough, from Jia and Guo Hao's age, it's really not suitable to be a teacher for you."

"Father, Mr. Guo was able to make such a good sentence at the age of seventeen, which shows that he is talented and should learn more from Jia!"

"Since that's the case, let him write a poem!"

"Your Majesty also asks you to give a question."

"Since you are from the north, you must know what happened there. In this way, you will write a poem in your hometown!"

"When will the spring flowers and autumn moon come? How much do you know about the past?

The building was windy again last night, and my hometown was unbearable to look back at the moonlight.

The carved railings and jade bricks should still be there, but the red faces are changed.

How much sorrow can you have? It’s like a river of spring water flowing eastward.”

...

"I ask you how much sorrow can you have? It's like a river of spring water flowing eastward. Guo Hao, Guo Hao, I haven't seen you clearly until today. Your scheming is really deep enough. Are you really only seventeen years old..."

Li Jing murmured to himself, and the scene of him meeting Guo Hao for the first time appeared in his mind. To be honest, he was amazed by Guo Hao's poems and agreed to Li Yu in a daze.

He regretted it afterwards, but Guo Hao didn't know what magic he had, but actually made Li Yu like him so much?

How could he know that many of the poems Guo Hao later wrote were written by Li Yu himself. After reading his poems, Li Yu seemed to see another self, so why didn't he fascinate him?

...

"Guo Hao."

"I'm here."

"I heard that you have a good relationship with the Crown Brother."

"This, I do know His Highness the King of Qi."

"Well, then what do you think of my decision?"

Guo Hao was sweating coldly when he heard this. He was really afraid of anything he had come. He had just passed one level and another. How could Li Jing ask him about such a thing? But when the emperor asked, he couldn't help but answer.

"I am not qualified to comment."

"Oh? But I heard that you were in Juxian Pavilion, but you said a lot!"

"I am drunk and nonsense and lose my composure for a moment. Please forgive me!"

"You still know that you have been to the East Palace in the morning. What did Jing Sui say?"

"I dare not say it."

"I let you say it!"

"Back to Your Majesty, King Qi said nothing, but I know what he wants to say."

"Oh? What did Jingsui want to say?"

"The King of Qi wants to say that he doesn't want to be the crown prince!"

"I know this, but I want him to be."

"But what the emperor did, what did His Highness Yan think! He is your own son!"

"I naturally know this, but King Yan is still young. After he is appointed King Qi for a hundred years, he will naturally pass the throne to him."

"Have the Emperor forgotten the Xuanwu Sect Incident! Even brothers are like this, let alone uncle and nephew!"

"The emperor believes in the King of Qi, and the ministers also believe in the King of Qi, but what about those ministers and the people of the Tang Dynasty?

If King Qi inherited the throne, what would his son think then? Will he be willing to compete? Does the emperor want to see the disaster on Xiao Yun and the brothers will be killed?"

"The emperor appointed the King of Qi as the crown prince, and there were a group of ministers supporting him, a group of stopping him, and a group of waiting and watching, thus there were many parties and party struggles. These were the roots of the chaotic country.

When King Qi has been around for a hundred years, there will inevitably be another battle. In this way, if the country is not in the past, your Majesty must also consider it carefully if he is for the Tang Dynasty!"

"But I have issued an order and the King of Qi has also entered the Eastern Palace. If I change my mind at this time, what will the ministers in the court look at me, and what will the King of Yan look at me?"

"In fact, since the King of Qi is determined to retreat, he just needs to cooperate and act in a play, and take the opportunity to remove the King of Qi from his identity, and the ministers will not say anything.

As for the candidate for the crown prince, Your Majesty is in full swing in the spring and autumn, there is no need to rush to choose. If the ministers force you, Your Majesty can write a blank edict and place it on the plaque in the hall, and say that you have someone in your heart and can comfort the people's hearts.

If Your Majesty is willing, you can change the pillars. First write about the King of Yan to see if he peeks. Even if he peeks, he will not express it. Your Majesty can know what to do. As for whether to change in the future, it depends on Your Majesty."

"You go back, don't tell anyone about this. You dare to reveal a word and be careful of your head."

"I came here today and wrote a poem, and I didn't say anything else, so I took my leave."

...

The scenes of that year are vivid in my mind. What Li Jing regrets the most now is why he didn't kill Guo Hao directly.

Li Jing didn't know that if it weren't for Guo Hao, Li Hongji wouldn't have risen. If Li Hongji did not rise, the Southern Tang would not have been able to fight like this.

On the contrary, after Chai Rong ascended the throne, he conquered the Southern Tang three times, and conquered the Southern Tang Dynasty and cedeed the territory and surrendered. Li Jing's ambition naturally no longer existed.

Thinking of this, Li Jing suddenly felt that Nan Tang still had strength and had a chance. Although he was not young, he was in good health.

As long as he defeated Zhou State in these few years, he could even use the power of other countries. As long as he occupied the Central Plains, he would have the possibility of unifying the world.

However, the war has just ended, and the people need to rest and rest. If they want to recover the Central Plains, there is one person who will die, that is Guo Hao!

"Come here!"

"His Majesty!"

"Send the order and order the Longwu Army to send assassins to sneak into Zhou State, kill Guo Hao at all costs, and avenge my son!
