Han Shizu

Chapter 1007 Towards the Road to "Ci Emperor"

His eyes passed directly over Zhong Mo and landed on Xu Xuan. Li Yu said: "Xu Qing is a famous scholar in the south of the Yangtze River. He is knowledgeable and eloquent. He also lives in the prime minister. It is very suitable for you to be an envoy. Now the country is in danger. I would like to trouble you for your hard work and go north to Kaifeng. If you can tell the emperor of the Han Dynasty to stop the army or postpone the conquest, it is no different from the virtue of rebuilding. I thank you here!"

Li Yu's words are both true and a little bit wronged.But looking at the situation, Xu Xuan was full of emotion in his heart. Although he was equally pessimistic about the result, he was still willing to be loyal to Jiangnan, a country that had blessed him for many years and given him the opportunity to become famous, until the end.

Facing Li Yu's gaze, Xu Xuan bowed and bowed: "My lord, I am willing to go north to meet Emperor Han and make a statement for the people in the south of the Yangtze River!"

"Okay!" Finally, Li Yu calmed down, looking at Xu Xuan with some expectation.Although Xu Xuan only promised to go north, there is obviously no guarantee for the result.

"Send an order to Runzhou to put Lin Renzhao on full alert. If he invades, he must stop the enemy and not allow the Han army to cross the river! Other cities and river defenses should also strengthen their defenses and be more vigilant. When recruiting troops, they should be Privy Feng is in charge, and there must be enough troops in Jinling to ensure the safety of the city!" After a long time, Li Yu said to Feng Yanlu again, making a rare decision on his own initiative, although it seemed wishful thinking.

Speaking of which, since he succeeded to the throne, Li Yu has never personally inspected the various fortresses of Jiangfang and learned about the situation of the army.

"Yes!" Feng Yanlu replied, thought for a while, and took the initiative to remind: "My lord, Wu Yue has always been the minion of the Central Plains. According to past lessons, if the northern army moves, Wu Yue's army will inevitably go north from Suzhou and Hangzhou to attack our army. It is unavoidable. , we should also strengthen the defense of Changzhou!"

Hearing this, Li Yu's handsome face could not help showing a bit of resentment, and said, "Wu Yue doesn't know the truth about the death of lips and cold teeth? If I die, how can he survive alone?"

Facing Li Yu's question, no one answered the question. After all, Wu Yue is different from Jiangnan. They have already made a decision, have a close relationship with the Central Plains, and have a marriage relationship.Isolated from the southeast, there has never been any conflict with the Central Plains, and there are no historical problems, so there is a lot of room for it to change.

After thinking for a while, Li Yuchang sighed, and said: "Later, I will write a letter in hand, send it to Hangzhou, and hand it over to the King of Wuyue. If he still has a clear decision, he should raise his troops to fight against the enemy. If he insists on being the court's pawn ,Ugh."

"Master, Wu Yue has been a disaster for a long time, and he has been willing to be driven by the court for a long time. If you want to say that he is a fool, I'm afraid it will be difficult! Mo Ruo sent envoys to unite with Southern Guangdong to resist the Northern Army!" At this time, Chen Qiao suggested.

Hearing this, Li Yu hesitated, and said: "I heard that Liu Yu is fatuous and cruel, and he is in trouble with the government and abuses the people, so let's work with him."

Seeing that Li Yu still has moral burdens at this time, Chen Qiao was excited again: "The lord, there are also [-] troops in southern Guangdong. Unite, unite and defeat the enemy!"

"Then send someone to try it!" Li Yu nodded, looked at several officials, hesitated for a while, and put forward an idea: "Zhu Qing, what if you move the capital to Nanchang Mansion?"

After saying this, before the others could speak, Chen Qi, the lowest-ranking Jinling Lingling, finally spoke. His voice was not loud, but his expression was extremely cold. He said: "The lord is in Jinling, and the soldiers along the river still know who will kill the enemy and defend them. The lord If you want to take refuge in Nanchang, the morale of the army will be shaken, Jinling will be lost, if Jinling is lost, how can Nanchang be defended?"

"What Chen Qi said is true! Please, my lord, don't repeat this!" Chen Qiao immediately agreed.

Seeing that his saliva was almost sprayed on his face, Li Yu also had to dispel the idea of ​​fear in his heart, and said somewhat insincerely: "I am born in Jinling, and hundreds of thousands of people are still there, how can I leave easily? "

"My lord, there are still [-] troops in Nanchang. Let Lu envoy Jun go north to enrich Jinling!" Feng Yanlu suggested.

Lu Shijun is Lu Jiang, the old general who was recalled from Ezhou by Li Yu before, and later entrusted with the duty of guarding Nanchang Mansion. There is no way. Nanchang Mansion is second only to Jinling in the rule of Jiangnan. People who can be trusted, capable, and have enough prestige will guard it.

"So, isn't Nanchang Mansion empty?" Li Yu responded like this.

"My lord, Jinling should be the most important thing!" Feng Yanlu said.

"The war has not yet started, and the progress of the war is still unknown. There is no need to mobilize the Nanchang army for the time being, and we should move according to the situation." After a moment of silence, Li Yu said.

In this way, under the "consensus and efforts" of the chief ministers of Jinling, they finally came up with a set of methods to resist the imperial army.
Just at this moment, Yan Ji, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, came, and before he could inform, he broke into the hall very rudely, staggering, with a panicked expression: "My lord, Runzhou Military News!"

In fact, Jinling should have known the situation in Jingkou long ago, at least he should have known about the war of words in Jingkou.However, the problem lies with the navy that fled to Jinling. Because of fear of punishment, they did not dare to return to Jingkou, let alone Jinling. Instead, they went upstream all the way and fled to Hukou.

Therefore, it was not until overnight that Jinling received the report from Runzhou.Of course, the chief minister had no time to think about the "details" involved. What Li Yu was terrified of was that Lin Renzhao was defeated in this battle. Can he still stop the Han army?
Although Li Yu has always been dissatisfied with Lin Renzhao and doesn't like his martial temper, but others say that he can fight, so he still entrusts him with the military.However, now that the most capable general has also been defeated, and was defeated in the first battle, can Runzhou still be defended? Is Jinling's safety still guaranteed?

In this way, with an extremely heavy heart, the discussion of politics and the military ended. When he was alone, in addition to pessimism and confusion about the future, Li Yu also had a feeling of regret.He regretted being born in the emperor's family, regretted taking the throne, and even regretted listening to those military and political situations, poems, paintings, lyrics and music, Buddhist scriptures, Taoism, wine and beauty, these are what he is interested in, if he can immerse himself in his own world, indulge , carefree, isn't it beautiful?

In order to suppress the negative emotions in his heart, Li Yu decided to find a few beauties in the harem, and then call the musicians, drink, play the piano, dance together, and then listen to his poems.
In this life, Li Yu has no Empress Dowager Zhou, nor Empress Dowager Zhou, but Li Jing also chose a wife with excellent talents and virtues for him, who is the granddaughter of Diao Yanneng, a veteran minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty.It's a pity that Empress Diao Guo is wise and upright, with a strong personality, but lacks some sentimentality, which is not Li Yu's favorite.

For Li Yu, Empress Diao Guo repeatedly persuaded her, but it was of little use. Li Yu respected and hated her both, so that she kept her at a respectful distance and was quite cold.On weekdays, it is more about favoring other concubines.

However, among other beauties, although there are many who are both excellent in color and art, none of them can really sing with Li Yuqin.Therefore, behind the romantic and affectionate, Li Yu is actually quite lonely, with a very empty heart, which has been reflected in his previous gorgeous poems.

Speaking of it, Li Yu has been the lord of the south of the Yangtze River for only two or three years. However, there are many beauties in his harem, and there are eight of them who are famous, which is comparable to what Emperor Liu earned in more than ten years.

Now, in the face of the country's peril, the pressure from all aspects, inside and outside, has cast a shadow on Li Yu's body and mind.It is also because of these factors that Li Yu began to evolve into the "emperor of ancient poetry". It is sad for him personally, but it will shine brightly in history and culture. Apart from other things, Li Yu's talent can be called a unique talent in the world.
