Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 477 Burning Huiyue Building

Jinling inner city.

Han House.

Standing outside the mansion, Chen Qiao ordered his attendants to hand over invitations.

"Chen Xianggong, sir, please!"

Under the leadership of the attendants in the mansion, Chen Qiao came to the courtyard in a detour.

Before being admitted to the hospital, Chen Qiao listened to bursts of profligate music.

Entering the courtyard, I saw Han Xizai reclining on the couch, watching dozens of dancers dancing in front of me with drunken eyes, humming a little song, feeling at ease.

Chen Qiao's complexion was gloomy, full of displeasure, and he snorted coldly, "Master Han is worthy of being a fairy among the gods, so he is so comfortable. This is how to recuperate when he is sick at home?"

After Chai Kehong, Sun Zhenzhong and Cao Binji betrayed him, Li Hongji's temperament changed drastically. He always felt that everyone was a traitor and was moody.

Han Xizai has a lonely and arrogant personality, and directly uses his illness as an excuse to stay out of the board for many days.

Knowing that Han Xizai is a great talent, Chen Qiao came to visit him personally.

Han Xizai sat up and said, "It won't be long before you and I will be ministers of the subjugated country. If you don't enjoy yourself at this moment, is it possible to wait until the country is ruined and your family is destroyed, and you and I become prisoners of the ranks, before we can enjoy ourselves?"

Chen Qiao was speechless for a moment.

Han Xizai waved his hand to let the dancer below back down.

Chen Qiao was silent for a moment, and said: "Jiangnan has indeed reached a state of life and death. The more so, the more we should help each other and face the national calamity together. Even if the country dies in the end, it will not be in vain to come to this dynasty. Master Han is a great talent, and Is it human-made to not hear things? No matter how small the odds of winning are, there is still the possibility of turning things around."

Han Xizai took a swig from the jugs directly to their mouths, before he said: "Han did not spare his life, but is this court, this official family, worth it?"

Han Xizai looked at Chen Qiao without fear. He had completely given up on Jiangnan Li's family.

Han Xizai was born in a famous family and was full of passion and ambition. As soon as he entered the south of the Yangtze River, he wrote a letter "Statement of Deeds and Deeds", expressing his life ambitions.

Han Xizai has a literary talent that disdains the world, and has great ambitions, but because of his superb literary talent, he looks down on the left of the river, which attracts criticism and is regarded as an arrogant and unruly person.

Li Min, the Liezu of the Southern Tang Dynasty, lived a simple life, was cautious in dealing with things, and didn't like to make publicity, but Han Xizai was just the opposite.

Li Min knew that Han Xizai was a great talent, and wanted to sharpen his edge, so he didn't use it, so he threw it to Li Jing.

After Li Jing came to the throne, he attached great importance to Han Xizai and entrusted him with important tasks.

But Han Xizai was too arrogant, for major affairs in the court, he either refuted the impoliteness, or pointed out the shortcomings of the criticism, and his words were penetrating, with outstanding insights.

Undoubtedly, it aroused great hatred and dissatisfaction among Song Qiqiu, Feng Yansi and other court officials.

Li Jing couldn't protect Han Xizai at first, but later he was refuted too much, he couldn't save face, and he didn't want to protect Han Xizai.

Han Xizai had unique opinions on sending troops to Fujian and Chu, going north to the Central Plains, impeaching Chen Jue and many other matters.

If Li Jingruo obeyed one by one, it is very likely that the surname of Zhongyuan is Li, not Liu Zhiyuan, and there is no such thing as Guo Wei and Guo Rong.

Just like Yuan Shao, Li Jing always excludes the correct answer in terms of choices.

Han Xizai's enthusiasm faded, and Zhu Yuan's betrayal made the northerners feel jealous, so they began to indulge in sensuality.

Historically, "Han Xizai Night Banquet Picture" was born under such circumstances.

Han Xizai was not optimistic about Li Hongji and ignored him.It wasn't until Nan Tang really came to the point of survival that he couldn't help standing up and working with Chen Qiao to stabilize the situation.

But in the face of Li Hongji's temperament change, Han Xizai stopped serving him.

How is love.

Chen Qiao also had a certain understanding of Han Xizai's resume, and persuaded him: "The prince is different from the officials... The prince is brave and courageous, and he can be a good leader. It is only because he has not been liked by His Majesty that he has done too much to prove himself, so he is a little impatient. The traitor is the person he trusts the most, and he surrenders to the enemy. There are many people who surrendered in the court, so it is inevitable that His Highness is suspicious. As a minister, we should understand."

Han Xizai dismissed this, understanding him, who will understand me?
As the crown prince, in times of crisis, if you can't deal with the situation rationally, what kind of good leader can you talk about?
At this moment, the servants of the mansion came to report in a hurry: "Mr. Chen is anxious to see you outside the host's house."

Han Xizai said with a serious face, "Let him in."

Chen Qiao felt uneasy for a moment.

Chen Pei entered in panic, bowed to Han Xizai, called "Master Han", and immediately said, "Father, there is an envoy from the Central Plains outside the city who brought the imperial edict from His Majesty, saying that the official family is seriously ill and cannot Director, the special biography is located in His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Central Plains envoy?"

Han Xizai grasped the point and asked a question.

Chen Pei looked ugly, and said: "Yes, it is the envoy of the Central Plains, who kept saying that His Royal Highness should kneel down to accept the order."

Chen Qiao was furious in an instant, and scolded: "The officials are confused!"

Han Xizai lowered his eyes, with a bit of sarcasm in his eyes.

What a farce.

It's a good way to kill someone.

After Cao Bin went to Nanchang Mansion, he loosened his control over the news of Jinling City.

The purpose is very clear, that is to let Jinling City know the first-hand news, so that Jinling will give up resistance.

Therefore, Jinling City got news of the battle situation in Jiangxi early on, and there were more and more surrendering factions in the temple, and there were even small groups of soldiers who fled to the city in teams at night.

At this critical moment, Li Jingbing made another pass, and anyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on.

Now the Central Plains people brought Li Jing's imperial edict and sent it to Jinling.

Does it mean that Nanchang Mansion has surrendered to the Central Plains?
Faced with this decree, will Li Hongji accept it?
If you don't pick it up, there is no owner in the south of the Yangtze River.

Next, take the edict from Jiangnan from the people of the Central Plains?

What is this thing called?
Naked ridicule and humiliation.

Chen Qiao yelled angrily: "What are they doing with such rumors? If the order continues, if the Central Plains people dare to enter the range, no matter who they are, they will shoot them directly."

Chen Pei paused, and said: "Seeing that no one paid attention to us, they shot the edict on the tower, and now it has been sent to His Highness. All officials confirmed that it was indeed the seal and handwriting of the official and Zaifu. All over Jinling, it is said that the entire Jiangnan West Road has surrendered to the Central Plains."

Han Xizai said: "The most important thing now is Your Highness..."

When Chen Qiao heard this, her expression changed suddenly, she even ignored the basic etiquette, and rushed out of the Han residence, heading straight for the palace.

Li Hongji was resolute, but too extreme and jealous. Historically, because of Li Jing's cold reception, he was worried that Li Jing would change his uncle Li Jingsui, so he sent someone to poison him to death.

Although the current history has changed, this incident has not happened, but Li Hongji's character remains unchanged.

He also did not receive Li Jing's love and was eager to prove himself, but a series of defeats made his face swollen.

The betrayal of the cronies, the rampage of the capitulation faction in the temple...

Now even Li Jing, the father, directly chose to give up on him, throwing all the responsibility for his sins to him.

Chen Qiao couldn't imagine what Li Hongji, whose mentality was on the verge of collapse, would do in the face of Li Jing's move.

Chen Qiao rode his horse and galloped 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, the tallest building in Jinling.

Beads of sweat rolled down, and Chen Qiao rushed closer anxiously.

There was wailing in Huiyue upstairs, and dozens of officials of the surrender faction screamed in the attic.

Indistinctly, he could hear wanton and carefree laughter.
