Chen Qiao stood outside the mansion and ordered his attendants to hand over the greeting card.
"Ms. Chen, sir, I'd like to invite you!"
Chen Qiao, led by the servants in the mansion, walked in a circuitous way to the side courtyard.
Before being admitted to the hospital, Chen Qiao could hear bursts of melodious music.
When they entered the courtyard, they saw Han Xizai lying on the couch, drunkenly watching the dozens of dancers dancing in front of him, humming a little tune in his mouth, enjoying himself.
Chen Qiao's face was gloomy, full of displeasure, and he snorted coldly: "Mr. Han is worthy of being one of the immortals. It's so comfortable. Is this how I treat my illness at home?"
After Chai Kehong and Sun Zhenzhong betrayed Cao Binji, Li Hongji's temperament changed drastically. He always felt that everyone was a traitor and was moody.
Han Xizai was aloof and arrogant. He simply used the excuse of recovering from illness and did not go out to attend meetings for many days.
Chen Qiao knew that Han Xizai had great talents and personally visited him.
Han Xizai sat up and said: "It won't be long before you and I are the subjects of the country's subjugation. If we don't enjoy it now, will we wait until the country is destroyed and our family is destroyed, and you and I become prisoners of the subordinates before we can have fun again?"
Chen Qiao was speechless for a moment.
Han Xizai waved his hand and asked the dancer below to retreat.
Chen Qiao was silent for a moment and said: "Jiangnan is indeed in a state of life and death. The more so, the more we should help each other and face the national disaster together. Even if the country is destroyed in the end and we die, it is not in vain. Master Han is a great talent, and
Isn’t it up to people to ignore things? No matter how slim the chances of winning are, there is still the possibility of turning things around.”
Han Xizai took a swig from the wine bottles directly to his mouth, and then said: "Han is not willing to sacrifice his life, but is this court and this official family worth it?"
Han Xizai looked at Chen Qiao without fear. He had completely given up on the Jiangnan Li family.
Han Xizai came from a famous family and was full of passionate ambition. As soon as he entered the south of the Yangtze River, he wrote "Xingzhizhuang" to express his life ambitions.
Han Xizai had a world-class literary talent and lofty ambitions. However, because of his extraordinary literary talent and his scornful attitude toward Jiang Zuo, he attracted criticism and was regarded as an arrogant and unruly person.
Li C, the martyr of the Southern Tang Dynasty, lived a simple life, was cautious in doing things, and did not like to show off, but Han Xizai was just the opposite. He was aloof, wild and uninhibited, and did not please Li C.
Li C knew that Han Xizai was a great talent, and with the intention of polishing his edge, he knew about it but did not use it, and left it to Li Jing.
After Li Jing came to the throne, he attached great importance to Han Xizai and entrusted him with important responsibilities.
However, Han Xizai was too aloof and arrogant. Regarding major events in the DPRK, he either refuted or corrected the rudeness, or pointed out and criticized the shortcomings, and he had brilliant insights every word.
There is no doubt that it aroused great hatred and dissatisfaction among the powerful officials in the court such as Song Qiqiu and Feng Yansi.
Li Jing was unable to protect Han Xizai at first, but later he was refuted many times. He lost face and refused to protect him.
Han Xizai had unique opinions on many matters such as sending troops to Fujian and Chu, going north to the Central Plains, and impeaching Chen Jue.
Li Jingruo obeyed them one by one. It is very likely that Zhongyuan's surname was Li, not Liu Zhiyuan, and there was no such thing as Guo Wei or Guo Rong.
Just like Yuan Shao, Li Jing always excludes the correct answer when it comes to choices.
Han Xizai's enthusiasm faded, coupled with Zhu Yuan's betrayal, the people in the north were under suspicion and began to indulge in sexual activities.
Historically, "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" was born under such circumstances.
Han Xizai was not optimistic about Li Hongji and ignored him. It was not until the Southern Tang Dynasty was really at the point of survival that he could not help but stand up and work with Chen Qiao to stabilize the situation.
But in the face of Li Hongji's drastic change in temperament, Han Xizai simply stopped serving him.
Love so much.
Chen Qiao also had a certain understanding of Han Xizai's resume and persuaded him: "The prince is different from the official family... The prince is brave and courageous, and can be a good master. It is just because he has not been liked by his majesty and he has done too much to prove himself by doing achievements that he has become a little impatient.
The traitor is the one he trusts most, and he surrenders to the enemy in front of the battle. There are many surrenders in the court, so it is inevitable that His Highness will be suspicious. As a human minister, we should understand."
Han Xizai dismissed this. If I understand him, who will understand me?
As a crown prince, in times of crisis, if you can't deal with the dilemma rationally, how can you be a good ruler?
At this moment, a servant from the mansion hurriedly came to report: "The Master of the Chen family is in a hurry outside the host's house.
"
Han Xizai looked stern and said: "Let him come in."
Chen Qiao felt anxious for a moment.
Chen Pei entered in a panic, saluted Han Xizai, called "Master Han", and immediately said: "Father, there is an envoy from the Central Plains outside the city who brought your majesty's edict of succession, saying that the official was seriously ill and could not
Director, the special address is His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Messenger from the Central Plains?"
Han Xizai grasped the key point and asked.
Chen Pei looked ugly and said: "Yes, he is the envoy from the Central Plains. He keeps saying that he wants His Highness to kneel down and accept the decree."
Chen Qiao instantly became furious and cursed: "The officials are confused!"
Han Xizai lowered his eyes, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
What a farce.
It's a heart-wrenching scene.
After Cao Bin went to Nanchang Prefecture, he relaxed his control over the news in Jinling City.
The purpose is very clear, which is to let Jinling City know the first-hand news and make Jinling give up resistance.
Therefore, Jinling City received news of the war situation in Jiangxi early. There were more and more surrendering factions in the temple, and even a small school of soldiers formed a team to lead ropes down to the city to escape at night.
At this critical moment, Li Jingbing was reinstated, and anyone with a discerning eye would know what was going on.
Now the people from the Central Plains brought Li Jing's edict of succession to Jinling.
Does it mean that Nanchang Prefecture has surrendered to the Central Plains?
Faced with this decree, will Li Hongji accept it?
If you don’t answer, Jiangnan has no owner.uuReading www.uukanshu.com
Receive, receive the edict from Jiangnan from the people of the Central Plains?
What is this thing called?
Naked ridicule and humiliation.
Chen Qiao shouted angrily: "What do they do with such rumors? If the Central Plains people dare to enter the shooting range, no matter who they are, they will be shot directly."
Chen Pei paused for a moment and said: "Seeing that no one was paying attention to us, they shot the edict onto the tower and now it has been delivered to His Highness. All officials confirmed that it was indeed the seal and handwriting of the official and the Prime Minister. This matter was passed down
People all over Jinling say that the entire Jiangnan West Road has surrendered to the Central Plains."
Han Xizai said: "The most important thing now is His Highness..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qiao's expression suddenly changed. He even ignored basic etiquette and rushed out of the Han Mansion and headed straight for the palace.
Li Hongji had a resolute temperament, but was too extreme and jealous. Historically, because of the cold treatment he received from Li Jing, he was worried that Li Jing would change his name to his uncle Li Jingsui, so he sent someone to poison him to death.
Although history has changed and this incident has not happened, Li Hongji's character remains unchanged.
He also received no love from Li Jing and was eager to prove himself, but a series of failures left his face swollen.
The betrayal of his cronies, the rampage of capitulationists in the temple...
Now even Li Jing's father directly chose to give up on him and threw all the sins and responsibilities on him.
Chen Qiao couldn't imagine what Li Hongji, who was already on the verge of mental collapse, would do in the face of Li Jing's move.
Chen Qiao was galloping on the street. Before he reached the palace, he saw smoke rising into the sky from the direction of Huiyue Tower.
Huiyue Tower is Li Jing’s favorite place and is the tallest building in Jinling.
Sweat beads rolled down his face, and Chen Qiao rushed closer uneasily.
There was a lot of wailing in Huiyue Tower, and dozens of surrender officials were screaming and shouting in the attic.
I could vaguely hear the wild and hearty laughter.
