Chapter 88 The hypocritical Jiangnan officials

The first thing Li Jing and Li Congjia did after resolving the crisis was to apply for admission to the palace to express their gratitude.

This is the embodiment of the evil power of feudal society.

It is suspected that you are under house arrest. After the lockdown is lifted, not only can you not be angry, but you must also come to thank me obediently.

Luo Youdu spent some time meeting the father and son.

"The guilty minister is ignorant and your Majesty is magnanimous. I, my father and my son, are here to express my gratitude."

Li Jingwei was submissive, and his face was unhealthy and pale. He had been exhausted by drinking and sex, and with his sentimental character, he was already haggard when faced with the polarization of life before and now. This sudden incident made the former

The leader of the Jiangnan Kingdom became more aware of the current situation and was like a frightened bird.

Li Congjia had some contacts with Luo Youdu, and they were relatively good. But he was still a bit timid in character. He had Jiangnan to support him before, and he was more or less tough in his words.

The current imbalance of status inevitably reveals a bit of awe.

Luo Youdu saw that Li Jing was in poor spirits, so he asked his chamberlain to ask an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Li Jing.

Then he said some encouraging words to Li Congjia.

Luo Youdu is still very optimistic about Li Congjia.

Li Congjia's status in the CI world is extremely high, and he belongs to the level of founding a sect.

Poetry, poetry, as the old saying goes: words are not as good as poetry.

But in fact the development path of poetry is the same.

The peak of poetry was in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but before the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it experienced a long trough and dark period, which was the palace style poetry of the Southern Dynasties.

Perhaps in the eyes of most people, the poem should be "I will be at the top of the mountain, and I can see all the small mountains", or "I will make the flying generals in the dragon city be there, but I will not teach Hu Ma to cross the Yinshan Mountains". Otherwise, it will kill one person in ten steps and leave no trace for thousands of miles.

OK.

But in fact, the poems written by the Four Heroes before the early Tang Dynasty were mostly erotic poems with voluptuous words, that is, palace-style poems that were mainly enchanting and artificial, with eloquent words, full of rouge flavor, and lavish sounds.

The representative works were used by Empress Chen, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty for their own entertainment. They were all the same and disgusting.

It was the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty who changed this style. Chen Ziang, Liu Xiyi, and Zhang Ruoxu continued the spirit. Only then did poets such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Wang Wei, Gao Shi, Wang Changling, and Cen Shen bloom in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The same goes for words...

Most of the poems were popular in palace brothels, and were mainly based on romance and beauty. They are said to be from the Huajian School, but they cannot escape the lyrics of Ling Gong. Nine out of ten poems sing about prostitution and are painted with gold powder.

Things have changed since I arrived at Li Congjia's place.

At first, Li Congjia was unavoidable in vulgarity, and most of his writings were graceful and petty in keeping with the current situation. However, as the country was destroyed and his family was destroyed, Li Congjia wrote about his own experience and real life feelings, and the emotion of the country and family was destroyed, breaking through the original meaning of Ci.

Fences expanded the realm of Ci, surpassed the predecessors Wen Tingyun and Feng Yansi in terms of content and style, opened up a precedent in the Ci world, and introduced Ci into a normal way of singing about life. Following this, Ci talent and poetry have reached the same destination.

Li Congjia's situation changed in this life. He fled to the Central Plains to avoid Li Hongji. He felt the magnificence of the Central Plains, and his poetry has changed.

This change occurred earlier than in history.

He didn't stay in the Central Plains for long, and he still pushed the scholars from the Central Plains to the ground and rubbed them back and forth while writing poems.

But as an emperor, Luo Youdu could clearly feel that under his stimulation, the writing style of scholars in the Central Plains had improved significantly.

Luo Youdu naturally hopes that Li Congjia can continue and lead a trend.

The strength of a country requires force, but it also requires the power of words.

Poetry is the power of words.

Luo Youdu attached great importance to military preparation, but he also adopted the same attitude in civil affairs. He always worked hard to improve the literacy rate of the people and the cultural level of civil and military officials.

The emphasis on martial arts in the Five Dynasties led to chaos in the world, and the emphasis on literature in the Song Dynasty allowed all parties to be bullied.

The simultaneous development of civil and military forces and mutual checks and balances is the kingly way and the foundation of a strong country.

Moreover, if you want to expand your territory, conquer by force, and conquer your heart through culture, all of them are indispensable.

The overall cultural level of the Central Plains is lower than that of Jiangnan. After taking Jiangnan this time, it can just make up for the shortcomings.

Li Congjia is one of them, as are Han Xizai, Xu Xuan, and Xu Kai, the two Xus from the south of the Yangtze River.

As for Li Congjia's identity, Luo Youdu didn't care at all.

Compared with poetry and articles, unless Luo Youdu became a literary copyist, he was really not qualified to compare with Li Congjia.

But to compare with being the emperor, he believed that Li Congjia could not catch the soles of his feet even when he danced.

"I plan to build a literature museum to promote our Chinese literature. Not only Confucianism, Mencius and Confucius, but also all kinds of theories. Anyway, I am idle, so why don't you come to be a bachelor for me?"

Li Congjia's heart suddenly moved. He didn't like being trapped in one place.

Luo Youdu's invitation this time was not easy to ignore his identity as a prince of Jiangnan, and gave him the freedom to live in Bianjing with another identity.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Li Congjia hurriedly thanked him. He paused and said, "After this incident, I am willing to change my name and identity. I hope your Majesty will give me your permission."

Luo Youdu became interested instantly. He felt that Li Congjia was not as good as Li Yu, so he smiled and said: "Whatever you call him is your freedom. I won't interfere."

Li Congjia felt that Luo Youdu was happier than himself. He was curious, but he did not dare to say anything. He just said: "I have thought about it, and I will change from Jia to Yu."

"Li Yu! What a name!"

Luo Youdu praised it.

Li Jingben was in a depressed mood, but when he saw that his beloved son had an unexpectedly harmonious relationship with the Emperor of the Central Plains, he felt inexplicably relieved.

After giving preferential treatment to Li Jing, Li Yu and his son, Luo Youdu clearly noticed that the Qingliu ministers in Jiangnan were much more docile.

Han Xizai, Xu Xuan, and Xu Kai all submitted articles to the newspaper at the same time.

In fact, they also wanted to board Luo Youdu, a ship that would lead to the unification of the world and recreate the prosperous times of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

I'm just a literati, so I can't help but be pretentious.

They couldn't let go of the pitiful dignity of their fallen subjects, and they didn't want to miss this golden opportunity.

So Luo Youdu gave a signal here and immediately followed the pole.

The two brothers Xu Xuan and Xu Kai were known as Jiangdong Erxu in Jiangnan, and they were leaders in the literary world of Jiangnan.

The same is true for Han Xizai, who is known as the man among the gods and Master Han, but unlike Xu Xuan and Xu Kai's articles, Han Xizai's focus is on the way of governing the country.

"On the importance of criminal administration, the trends of ancient and modern times, and changes in disasters and disasters..."

Luo Youdu seemed to be quite reasonable and ordered people to invite Han Xizai to have a good talk with him.

If you really have talent, no matter if you are pretentious or not, you still have to use it.

"His Majesty!"

While waiting for Han Xizai, Luo Youdu waited for Zhao Pu's request to see him.

"The army is in chaos."

Luo Youdu perked up and said, "What's going on?"

Zhao Pu said: "According to the news coming from the northwest, Xiazhou Tuoba soldiers surrounded the office of the Jiedu Envoy. Shouting the slogan "Kill the rebels and return to the Central Plains", they stormed the office and killed Li Yiyin, the Jiedu Envoy."

Luo Youdu's eyes lit up and he said: "Success?"

Zhao Pu shook his head and replied: "Li Yiyin's son Li Guangrui led the troops to stabilize the situation. He wiped out the rebels and called himself King of Xia. He is encircling and suppressing the Tuoba rebels in the four prefectures of Dingnan. Now the Dingnan army is in panic..."
