Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 262
In autumn and winter, Jinling still sings and dances, and the war in the north is difficult to cross the Yellow River, Huai River, and Yangtze River, so it is difficult to taste the war in the north south of the Yangtze River.

The Yellow River, the Huaihe River, and the Yangtze River. The smoke of the war is blocked by these three barriers. When it comes to the south of the Yangtze River, there are only sporadic news and various rumors, but no one really knows the situation in the north.

Even though the war is raging, Jiangnan is still singing and dancing. The south is not as aggressive as the north. It is not a theory of blood. The reason why the southerners are like the northerners is determined by geography. Jiangnan is under layers of protection. It is rare to face the threat of nomads and the scourge of war for a long time like the north, and it is difficult to survive without maintaining the will to fight.

Geography determines people, and people cannot influence the general trend.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, many people fled to Jiangnan from the north. They established the rise of Jiangnan and its prosperity today. However, these northerners quickly smoothed their fighting spirit in the gentleness and comfort of Jiangnan. Who doesn't like peace in the world?

This is not something that people can change. The army of the Southern Tang Kingdom may be able to show off its might in the south of the Yangtze River, but once it faces the Central Plains army that has been fighting against the Khitan all year round in the north, it will be powerless to fight back.

There is always a price for ease, and this lesson, mixed with blood and tears, has been repeated in history, which is nothing new.
In the Wangjiang Tower, Han Xizai listened absently to his friends talking, reciting poems and composing poems. His old friend Xu Xuan also enjoyed it, but he couldn't enjoy it.

The current Jiangnan Tang State is troubled both internally and externally.

Last year, that is, the fifth year of Xiande, Li Jingsui, the younger brother of the lord Li Jing, was awarded the title of General Tiance, Marshal of Jiangnan Xidao Bing, Governor of Hongzhou, Taiwei, Shang Shuling, and King of Jin.

But he was poisoned to death on the way back to the fief.

Han Xizai didn't know the detailed information, but only knew that the king was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. Since then, there has been no news.

However, Han Xizai knew that in nine out of ten cases it was Prince Li Hongji who was the chief envoy.

Sure enough, not long after, Prince Li Hongji died of illness. Some people said that he was scared to death when he saw his uncle's ghost, and some said that he died of illness due to fear.

Han Xizai didn't know the specific situation, but felt it was a pity.

Li Hongji was the only capable and bloody son among the king's many children. He had led the army to defeat Wu Yue before. When facing Zhou's army, the southern army was defeated many times, and Li Hongji was also one of the few who won the victory.

As a result, such a prince actually died, and then the lord of the country planned to appoint the sixth prince Li Congjia as the prince, and the news spread quickly.

At that time, Han Xizai wanted to persuade the king that the six sons of the emperor were fond of poetry and songs, and they were not capable of handling major affairs.

Later, he was glad that he didn't persuade him immediately.

A scholar of the Hanlin Academy, a minister of the Ministry of Rites, sentenced Shangshu Sheng Zhongmo to the sixth prince, Li Congjia, who believed in Buddhism, was cowardly and seldom virtuous, and was indecisive. He asked Li Congshan, the Duke of Liji, to be the prince. The king was furious and exiled Zhongmo to Raozhou .

Afterwards, the court was also silent, and no one dared to say anything about it again. It was inevitable that the sixth prince, Li Congjia, would be made the crown prince.

As for why the lord appointed the sixth prince, it may be because he is afraid of another tragedy involving family members, or it may be because the sixth prince loves literature as much as the lord, or it may be because the sixth prince is obsessed with poetry, travels around mountains and rivers, and is not greedy for power at all. Make the king happy.

Han Xizai had no way of knowing, but he felt that Zhong Mo was right.

Before that, the Emperor Zhou sent someone to say to the ruler, "I and Jiangnan have decided the righteousness, but I am worried that future generations will not be able to accommodate you. You can build the city god and rectify the key points for future generations while I am alive."

The lord then repaired the cities and planned to move the capital to Hongzhou to avoid Zhou Guobing's advance. All the officials did not want to move. Only the Privy Councilor Tang Hao agreed to move the capital, so Hongzhou was promoted to Nanchang Prefecture, and people were sent to build the southern capital.

Now he understood that the Emperor of Zhou Kingdom probably felt that his time was approaching, so he sent someone to speak to the King to comfort people.

In fact, before this, Lin Renzhao and other generals approached him and asked him to speak to the officials. Zhou Guozheng was at war with Khitan, and they could take the opportunity to send troops to take back Huainan.

Han Xizai smiled, invited them to eat and drink, and sent them away with kind words.

He knew the loyalty of these generals, and he also knew that the king had no fighting spirit, not only the king, but everyone in the court. Shi Congyun scared them in the first battle.

The lord of the country is thinking of moving the capital to avoid Zhou Guobing, how dare he take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack and take back Huainan?
In any case, the scene in front of me is the portrayal of the Tang Dynasty today. The colleagues in front of me are reciting poems and composing poems, singing and dancing, and the beautiful concubines are graceful and dancing, and everyone present is full of red.

It's not that they don't know that looking to the north, the tiger and wolf division of the Zhou army on the other side of the river is staring at them. It's not that they don't know that a month ago, the Zhou army's coach Shi Congyun, who once attacked their Jinling city, was defeated in the north again. The Liao army captured and killed [-] people (it has become like this by now), the emperor of the Liao Kingdom fled in panic, the king of Nanyuan was captured and escorted to Beijing by Shi Congyun himself, and the world was shaken.

This is news that everyone knows, but what can we do if we just know?

The lord of the country just wants to avoid disaster, and the atmosphere in the court is generally the same. Everyone just wants to appease Zhou Guo every day. Now that the lord of Zhou Kingdom has passed away, Qin Wang Shi Congyun is regent and changed Yuan Zhangwu.

As a subsidiary of the state of Zhou, they must also use the reign name of Zhangwu.

But when they heard this new year name, many people felt suffocated, Zhang Wu, such an ambitious and exposed year name is rare, and it also made many people feel uneasy.

In a panic, the ruler immediately sent Feng Yanlu and others with a large amount of gold, silver, silk and other valuables to form a huge team to go north to court and congratulate King Qin on his regent.

Zhou Zong suddenly became a hot figure.

A few years ago, Shi Congyun defeated their army of more than [-], crossed the Yangtze River, and approached the city. In the end, he didn't want anything, so he snatched away the concubine of the sixth prince Li Congjia, who was Zhou Zong's daughter.

At that time, people were still filled with righteous indignation, and many people described Zhou Xian as a woman who raised a tiger with her body and served the country and the people.

Afterwards, Shi Congyun successively destroyed Nanping and Wuping, defeated the main force of the Liao Kingdom, captured the King of the South Court of the Liao Kingdom, took over the reign of the King of Qin, took charge of the Zhou Dynasty, and changed the name of the country, which was full of murderous spirits. As a result, the wind direction changed immediately.

Officials went to Zhou Zong's mansion one after another, some praised Zhou Zong for having a good daughter, some even said that Shi Congyun was a hero and loves beauties, and there were rumors of their romantic affairs.
This shows that the situation in the world is changing.

After a while, old friend Xu Xuan came over and invited him to have a drink together, and all the colleagues also invited him.

Han Xizai laughed, stood up and toasted. Everyone was happily drinking, reciting poems and composing Fu. What could he do? People are most afraid of not getting along, and he still wants to live a good life in Southern Tang Dynasty.

Everyone recited poems against the vast Yangtze River in the distance, and enjoyed it. The elegant atmosphere circulated on the tall buildings by the river. He smiled and looked at the river absent-mindedly, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn’t have the vastness mentioned in his colleagues’ poems. Looking at the scenery, he only saw Zhou Guo's army on the other side of the river.
(At this point, let’s choose a country name for the protagonist. You can leave a message in the comment area, country name and reason.

However, there are requirements, such as Yuan, Ming, and Qing, the country names started from the Yuan Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty claimed to inherit the Yuan Dynasty, so the country names are different from those before the Song Dynasty. Before the Yuan Dynasty, the country names were all taken from ancient place names, ancient country names, At the end of the Tang Dynasty, later in the Song Dynasty, etc., these countries are all like this, and this rule cannot be broken.

For example, the ancient country names near Henan include Liang, Zheng, Song, Hu, etc., and Shanxi has Tang, Jin, Zhao, Han, Dai, etc. You can look at the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, or the ancient country names before it, choose one, and edit it your reason)
