Luo Youdu was a little surprised when he received the news that Li Congjia asked to see him.
He knew that once the imperial court launched troops against Jingnan, it would surely tug at the heartstrings of the southern princes.
The envoys from various countries in Beijing will definitely inquire about the truth from officials they are familiar with in order to give the most accurate answer to the south.
But to come directly to his door was really beyond his expectation.
"Let's meet!"
Luo Youdu didn't have much ill feelings toward Li Congjia. The main reason was that although Li Congjia's poems were unparalleled in the world, not many of them were actually used in textbooks. A few of them were also well-known works such as "Yu Meiren", which was not difficult to find.
back.
Unlike Li Bai's "The Road to Shu Is Difficult" and Zhuge Liang's "Shi Shi Biao", it is really a resentment.
Luo Youdu still remembers that he gave the teacher a arraignment for reciting "The Road to Shu is Difficult"...
That is to say, traveling through this era, if he really wanted to travel back to Li Bai's period, Luo Youdu had to lock him up and recite his own poems.
If you can't recite it, you won't be allowed to eat, let alone drink.
"I have met His Majesty!"
Li Congjia bowed to His Highness.
Luo Youdu carefully looked at the Qiangu Ci Emperor in front of him. He had met him several times before, but always in big occasions. He only passed a few glances and had an impression.
This was the first time they met in private, so they couldn't help but look at each other carefully.
This first impression is that he is very handsome.
He is personable and handsome, but as soon as he speaks, his beauty disappears immediately.
That pair of big buck teeth is really a detractor.
The record of Li Yu in history is that he had a large forehead, parallel teeth and double pupils, and had the appearance of an emperor.
Regardless of whether he has the appearance of an emperor or not, it is obvious that this Ci Emperor also distinguishes between ugliness and beauty: the tall, thick and plump heaven is covered by the soft-footed futou hat popular in this era, but the buck teeth are really impossible.
Block...
"Laity Bai Lian is exempt from courtesy. I have read many of his masterpieces. In terms of lyrics, he is comparable to Li Du in poetry."
Luo Youdu's words were both a compliment to Li Congjia and a disapproval of his identity.
In the Southern Tang Dynasty, his identity was General Zhuwei, Deputy Marshal, and Prince Zheng, but in the Central Plains, these identities were all false.
Li Jing himself is just the leader of the Jiangnan Kingdom, so how can he be qualified to make his son king?
Except for him, Luo Youdu, who personally approved the canonization, in this three-acre land of Zhuxia, no title could be counted.
Li Congjia obviously understood the meaning, and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, my father has served the dynasty wholeheartedly and is sincere to Your Majesty. The tributes are endless all year round. I am willing to use my body as a pledge and live in Bianliang. Only
In the hope of preserving the ancestral temple, Your Majesty, please have mercy on the small country in the south, which is suffering such hardship."
Luo Youdu looked at it quietly for a moment and sneered: "Sincerity? Is it really true that Jiangnan still practices imperial etiquette? Your father issued an 'imperial order' to his ministers. Don't you know that only an emperor can issue an edict? Jiangnan Nei Zhongshu
The province, the province under the door, the province of ministers, and the privy council are all available. Li Jing's disciples are all awarded the title of king, and all the halls in Jinling are decorated with owl kisses. All the pomp is as good as that of the emperor. Except for the letter to me, claiming to be the "Lord of Jiangnan",
How can I have any self-consciousness as a ruler? I am not a mediocre ruler, so you think I am as easy to bully as a child?"
Li Congjia was speechless.
These are all facts and have been like this since Guo Rong.
On the surface, Li Jing claimed to be the Lord of the Jiangnan Kingdom, and even changed his name from Li Jing to Li Jing to avoid the taboo of Guo Wei's great-grandfather Guo Jing.
But in fact, in Jiangnan, everything was business as usual, Li Jing still regarded himself as the emperor and treated himself as the emperor.
Guo Rong and Luo Youdu have always known that the reason why they pretended not to know was to give themselves an excuse to go south.
The time has come for this matter, so Luo Youdu naturally stopped pretending to know nothing about it.
Li Congjia hurriedly knelt on the ground, shouted for death, raised his head and said: "I will go south now to persuade my father to degrade the rituals to show respect."
Luo Youdu looked at Li Congjia for a while and said calmly: "I want to achieve the great achievements of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, and let China once again demonstrate the feats of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the coming of all the nations to the dynasty. If ordinary people see a unified dynasty, how can there be a country of China?"
Li Congjia was silent.
As soon as Luo Youdu said this, there was obviously no room for relaxation.
How can any non-unified dynasty have the honor to be called a prosperous age?
Luo Youdu said: "I know that the lay people are benevolent and filial. If the lay people can persuade Zun Na Tu to surrender and protect the people in the south of the Yangtze River from the disaster of war, I promise that your Li family will enjoy the honor of three generations of princes. Otherwise, our army will eventually take Jinling directly. Nothing else.
, just for the four seas to unite."
He paused, left a message: "Father, take care of yourself..." and then stood up and left.
Li Congjia knelt on the ground with a heavy heart. It was not until he was reminded by the chamberlain that he was startled. He looked at the majestic but not luxurious palace around him and walked out of the palace step by step.
After leaving the palace and arriving at Longjin Bridge, I looked at the endless flow of people on the bridge, looked at the endless businessmen coming and going around, and thought about the scene of Jinling, my heart felt even heavier.
He grew up in a deep palace since he was a child. He was loved by the royal family and loved by the palace people, and lived a luxurious life. The house he lived in was made of tortoiseshell nails, with emeralds inlaid on the window panes, red silk curtains on the walls, and red silk gauze.
Decorated with window paper. When I grew up, the people I interacted with were all scholars from the Southern Tang Dynasty. They were extravagant and flamboyant, so why not eat minced meat?
This time I came to the Central Plains just to avoid my suspicious and cruel brother, and I didn't want to see a whole new world.
When it comes to prosperity, Bianjing may not be as good as Jinling.
But Bianjing gave him a different feeling, simple and restrained, and prosperous.
For this reason, Li Congjia specially talked about this matter with Zhou Zong. After careful discussion, he finally understood that in order to maintain his extravagant life, his father used the land in the south of the Yangtze River to support the city of Jinling.
Although Jinling is magnificent, it was built on absorbing the hardships of the people in Jiangnan.
Just like the imperial court in Jiangnan, it was exaggerated and unrealistic. The people were poor, the country was poor, but the kings and scholars were extremely rich.
The Central Plains has gone through many hardships, built from the ruins, and risen step by step. The people are prosperous and the country is prosperous, far from being comparable to Jiangnan.
Li Congjia traveled around, and the more he understood the new dynasty in the Central Plains, the more desperate he became.
The gap between the two countries is huge, and Jiangnan has no chance of winning.
Thinking about Luo Youdu's last words, Li Congjia said in his heart: "The unification of the world is inevitable. It is better to persuade his father to surrender to the Central Plains early. At least he can spend his old age in peace and live a prosperous life. The people of Jiangnan can also avoid war disasters.
"
During the more than half a year in the Central Plains, the different environment affected Li Congjia's state of mind. Even his words gradually changed from exaggerated to pragmatic, and his artistic conception also improved a lot.
Bianjing Imperial Palace!
In the afternoon of that day, Luo Youdu got the news that Li Congjia was leaving for Jiangnan. He couldn't help but smile slightly, showing the expression of watching a play.
Regarding the prospect of Li Congjia going south, Luo Youdu did not have the slightest expectation.
But the lack of results does not mean there is no effect.
Results and effects are not equal.
Throughout the ages, weak countries have never lacked surrenderers.
Li Congjia's return to Jiangnan this time, with his position as the famous crown prince in Jiangnan, 80% will support him as the leader of the surrender faction, which will be of great benefit to the Central Plains in conquering Jiangnan and regaining the hearts of Jiangnan.
Let's see what surprises this guy can bring.
Luo Youdu was thinking in his heart.
