Since June, morning court has actually been completely out of order.

One reason is that the Northern Expedition was defeated, and Emperor Li Jing's ambition to unify the world was deeply hit. His mental state gradually became weak and he could not sleep all night, which led to lack of energy. The second reason was somewhat obscure. I don't know when the emperor, who worked hard to rule at the beginning of his ascension, became obsessed with the Queen Zhong, and seemed to have lost his past ambitions. All close ministers knew about this.

When religion changed from simple belief to preference, Li Jing obviously did not have enough time. In order to accompany the queen to recite scriptures, the affairs of the court became much tired, and the number of morning courts was significantly reduced compared to the past.

Fortunately, the Southern Tang Dynasty, which was relatively content with the Jianghuai River, was in the dark era of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and this dynasty known as Yu Yin of the Great Tang Dynasty still completely followed the national system that had been effectively operated since the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Under this strict system, even if the superiors were lazy, the manpower he hired was still enough to allow the country to run smoothly and not be destroyed in an instant.

This is Li Jing's luck, and it has to be said that it is his wisdom. The ministers he chose often like to fight each other, like to make power, and even like to engage in shameful activities. However, most of them are very competent and can barely be considered qualified managers no matter what means they use.

The officials' attitude towards the morning court is a bit strange or somewhat conflicted. Many people have experienced the diligence day after day of Li Jing's ten years before he ascended the throne, and are now experiencing sudden changes.

At first they were glad that they were finally able to get rid of the pain of the morning court every day, and they would not have to crow the roosters and go to the court in the severe cold and heat. However, once the morning court became more and more rare, and even once every half a month, these people suddenly felt a little panicked again.

Therefore, once there is a notice of court visit, almost no officials miss it. Because morning courts are becoming increasingly rare and rare, they have regarded morning courts as a rare and grand gathering. They have put on brand new official uniforms and hats, dressed up decently, meet the supreme ruler Li Jing, and then greet their colleagues and contact each other. It is also a pleasure.

At this time, Emperor Li Jing sat upright on the throne, looking at the officials in front of him kowtowed and bowed, and secretly sighed in his heart. When officials bowed, of course, it was the plot that every emperor liked the most, because at this time, he could fully feel the majesty of the imperial power and his own strength. No matter whether he was ambitious or not, he was still the master of these people. No matter what they were asked to do, these people would obey unconditionally.

But he also understood that in a moment he would be surrounded by drought, floods, famines, and even riots, but that was not the part he was worried about. Ten years after the reign of the dynasty, he had become immune to these things; he had learned to doze with his eyes open, treating the noise of his ministers as lullabies, without leaving a trace of sleepy expression.

Since the failure of the Northern Expedition, Li Jing has gradually realized that unifying the world and entering the Central Plains may be just an unattainable dream. His ambitions are often praised by the ministers' competing forces. The higher the praise, the more he falls, the more he falls. The more passionate the officials agree, the more they show their loyalty. This is also the eye miasma that he cannot see the reality, but he hates it but is helpless.

After the ceremony was finished, the ministers returned. Li Jing on the dragon throne was ready to be surrounded by trivial matters, his eyes began to close slightly, and he embarked on his sacred journey. However, Li Jing only relaxed less than a cup of tea, and was shocked by the sudden memorial that came and straightened his waist from the dragon throne and opened his eyes wide.

The Left Prime Minister Feng Yansi read the memorial at Dali Temple, which was read by the left prime minister Feng Yansi, was like a bomb exploding in the hall. The ministers were stunned and then in an uproar. Many people thought that today was just a party, but they did not expect that they would encounter such a horrifying thing.

"Your Majesty, the letter from Dali Temple was delivered to Jinling last night. I dare not go to the palace overnight to disturb Your Majesty. Because I also have to verify some details, such as checking the seal of Dali Temple to find out whether the confession is true. As for the rebellious actions of Li Yuan, who confessed by Liu Renzhan, "Li Song, privately entrusting the rebel general, and forming a pseudo-court of the Northern Kingdom, I cannot immediately investigate the matter." Feng Yansi said in a deep voice after reading the letter.

Li Jing sat on the throne and frowned. This unexpected situation made him unprepared. Now he had a headache about Li Yuan. Aside from any secret fear, Li Yuan made many extraordinary achievements at a young age. As a famous general and the youngest military governor of the dynasty, he is now an indispensable military commander to revitalize the Tang Dynasty.

Although I was actually worried about this person and even began to deliberately check and balance him, it was also a normal and helpless act of the emperor to control his subordinates. I really didn't want this young general to have the idea of ​​rebellion. It would be a pity to lose such a general. A strong military force made rebellion even more difficult.

What's more, his own son Li Congjia was still trapped in Langzhou and had not returned. If Li Yuan's crime of plotting against rebellion was true, not only did he reward Li Yuan's meritorious imperial edict a few days ago become a joke, but Li Congjia's life is probably difficult to protect...

As for Liu Renzhan, Li Jing remembered the past when he heard the name and the confession in the letter.

Before he ascended the throne, he often heard the late emperor praise Liu's loyalty and kindness, and he even brought Zhong to Ezhou in person. At that time, Liu Renzhan was in his prime, and his body was covered with his arms, but he always kept a humble look when he made every move. He also praised him for his style of being a general. However, most of the people he saw in a high position were humble and didn't care much, and he just smiled it.

Until this year, Li Jinquan took the opportunity to rebel when the Tang Dynasty was in an empty state, which immediately caused the Tang Dynasty to be in turmoil. At the critical moment, this brave veteran went deep into the army and quelled the rebellion alone, and almost killed his life. Finally, he worked with Li Yuan to suppress the rebellion and saved the crisis in one fell swoop. At that time, he was really moved and finally realized what the late emperor said was not false, and he saw loyal ministers in times of distress...

Li Jing was suddenly reminiscent of many memories, but when he thought of this, he couldn't help but secretly mutter that Liu Renzhan can be seen in times of danger, but Li Yuan is not the case? But this loyal and good veteran came forward to identify him, but he couldn't help but believe what happened?

"Your Majesty, how should you deal with this matter? I am waiting for your Majesty's holy wish." Feng Yansi's voice interrupted Li Jing's chaotic thoughts. He came back to his senses and glanced at the hall, but saw more than a hundred faces looking at him with nervous expressions on his face.

"Feng Xiang, this matter is of great importance. I ask you, can Liu Renzhan's confession be confirmed to be his personal confession?" Li Jing asked in a deep voice.
