Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 407
Luo Youdu was a little surprised when he got the news that Li Congjia asked to see him.

He knew that once the imperial court mobilized troops against Jingnan, it would definitely tug at the heartstrings of the southern princes.

Those envoys from various countries in Beijing will also ask the officials they are familiar with to find out the truth in order to give the most accurate answer to the South.

But he came directly to the door, which was beyond his expectation.

"See you!"

Luo Youdu didn't have much dislike for Li Congjia, the main reason was that Li Congjia's Ci, although it is said to be a masterpiece in the world, but not many actually read it in textbooks.A few of them are also well-known masterpieces such as "Poppy", and they are not difficult to memorize.

Unlike Li Bai's "Difficult Road to Shu", Zhuge Liang's "Teacher's Biao", that is really a resentment.

Luo Youdu still remembers that he stayed with the teacher to recite "The Difficult Road to Shu"...

That is to say, if you travel through this era, if you really want to travel to Li Bai's time, Luo Youdu has to lock him up and recite his own poems by himself.

I can't recite it, and I am not allowed to eat, let alone drink.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

Li Congjia bowed to His Royal Highness.

Luo Youdu carefully looked at the Qiangu Ci Emperor in front of him. He had met him a few times before, but they were all on big occasions. He only had a few glances and only had an impression.

This was the first time they had met in private, so they couldn't help but take a closer look.

This first impression is still 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 minus point.

The historical record of Li Yu is that he has a large forehead, parallel teeth and double pupils, and has the appearance of an emperor.

Regardless of whether it is the appearance of an emperor or not, it is obvious that the emperor of Ci can distinguish between ugly and beautiful: the tall and full heavenly court is covered by the soft-footed headgear that is popular in this era, but the buck teeth are true. block...

"Layman Bailian is free of courtesy. I have read many excellent works of layman. In terms of words, layman is comparable to Li Du in the poetry world."

Luo Youdu's words are not only a compliment to Li Congjia, but also a disapproval of his identity.

In the Southern Tang Dynasty, his identities were General Zhuwei, Deputy Marshal, and King Zheng, but in the Central Plains, these identities were all false.

Li Jing himself is just a lord of Jiangnan, how can he have the qualifications to make his son king?

Except for him, Luo Youdu, who personally recognized the canonization, in Zhuxia's three-acre land, there are countless titles.

Li Congjia obviously understood the meaning, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, my father has served the court wholeheartedly, and is sincere to Your Majesty. There are year-round coins and tributes. I am willing to use my body as a pledge to live in Bianliang. Hope to preserve the ancestral temple, please have mercy on the small country in the south, the hardship is not easy."

Luo Youdu watched quietly for a moment, then sneered and said, "A piece of sincerity? If you really want a piece of sincerity, Jiangnan still follows the emperor's etiquette? Your father issued an 'edict' to his ministers. Don't you know that only the emperor can issue an edict? Jiangnan's domestic Zhongshu Provinces, Menxia Provinces, Shangshu Provinces, and the Privy Council are all available. Li Jing and other sons are all awarded kings, and Jinling Terraces and Halls are all equipped with owl kisses. How can there be a little self-consciousness of the king? I am not a mediocre lord, so you will treat me as easy to deceive like a child?"

Li Congjia was speechless.

This is all true, and it has been like this since Guo Rong.

On the surface, Li Jing claimed to be the lord of Jiangnan, and even changed his Li Jing to Li Jing in order to avoid the taboo of Guo Wei's great-grandfather Guo Jing.

But in fact, in the south of the Yangtze River, Li Jing was doing everything as usual. He still regarded himself as the emperor and used the emperor's ostentation.

Guo Rong and Luo Youdu have always known that the reason why they pretended not to know is to give themselves an excuse to go south.

The time has come for this matter, Luo Youdu naturally stopped pretending to be ignorant.

Li Congjia hurriedly knelt down on the ground, shouted death penalty, raised his head and said: "I will go south now to persuade my father to derogate the ritual system to show respect."

Luo Youdu looked at Li Congjia for a while, and said calmly: "I want to accomplish the great achievements of Emperor Qin and Han Wu, and let China once again demonstrate the feat of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the kingdom of all nations. Laymen see a unified dynasty, how can there be a country in China?"

Li Congjia was silent.

After Luo Youdu said this, it was obvious that there was no room for relaxation.

How can there be a non-unified dynasty that has the face to call it a prosperous age?
Luo Youdu said: "I know that the lay people are benevolent and filial. If the lay people can persuade the emperor to surrender, the people in the south of the Yangtze River will be protected from war disasters. I promise you, the Li family, to enjoy the honor of three generations of princes, otherwise our army will eventually take Jinling directly. Not for other reasons , only for the unity of the four seas.”

He paused, and left a sentence: "Layman, I can do it for myself..." Then he got up and left.

Li Congjia knelt down on the ground with a heavy heart. He didn't realize it until he was reminded by the servant. Looking at the solemn but not luxurious palace around him, he walked towards the outside of the palace step by step.

After leaving the palace and arriving at the Longjin Bridge, looking at the crowds on the bridge, looking at the businessmen coming and going around, and thinking about the scene of Jinling, my heart is even heavier.

He grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, loved and favored by the relatives and people of the palace, and lived a luxurious life.The house he lives in is made of tortoiseshell nails, the panes are inlaid with emeralds, the walls are decorated with red silk curtains, and the window paper is decorated with red gauze.When I grew up, all the scholars from the Southern Tang Dynasty came and went. They were extravagant and flamboyant, so why not eat minced meat.

This trip to the Central Plains was just to avoid that suspicious and vicious elder brother, and he didn't want to see a whole new world.

When it comes to prosperity, Bianjing may not be comparable to Jinling.

But Bianjing gave him a different feeling, simple and introverted, thriving.

For this reason, Li Congjia had a special chat with Zhou Zong about this matter, and after talking in detail, he finally understood.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 the south of the Yangtze River.

Just like the imperial court in the south of the Yangtze River, it is exaggerated and false.The people are poor and the country is poor, but the king and scholars are extremely rich.

But the Central Plains has gone through a lot of hardships, built from the ruins, and rose step by step. The prosperity of the people and the country are far from comparable to those in the south of the Yangtze River.

Li Congjia traveled all over the world, and the more he knew about the new dynasty in the Central Plains, the more desperate he became in his heart.

The gap between the two countries is so great that Jiangnan has no chance of winning.

Thinking of Luo Youdu's last words, Li Congjia said in his heart: "The unification of the world is inevitable. It is better to persuade the father to return to the Central Plains as soon as possible. At least he can spend his old age peacefully and live a prosperous life. The people in the south of the Yangtze River can also be saved from the war. "

During the first half 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 improved a lot.

Bianjing Palace!

That afternoon, Luo Youdu got the news that Li Congjia was going south to the south of the Yangtze River, so he couldn't help smiling slightly, showing the expression of watching a play.

For the prospect of Li Congjia going south, Luo Youdu didn't have the slightest expectation.

But no result does not mean no effect.

Results are not equal to effects.

Throughout the ages, weak countries have never lacked capitulators.

Li Congjia's return to Jiangnan this time, with his talent in Jiangnan and his status as the crown prince, he will most likely be established as the leader of the surrender faction.

Let's see what surprises this guy can bring.

Luo Youdu murmured in his heart.
