Han Hai Tang Ergui

In the fourth year of Shaoming, 949 A.D., the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Shangyuan Festival.

Zhang Ting will be Cao Sanniang Yannai who was frightened in the Luoyang Incident, Cao Yuanzhong who was almost killed by Cao Renzun in the Chang'an Incident, Luo Yuer who has withstood a great test, and Cao Yuanzhong who was worse than Cao Yuanzhong and almost died Zhao Kuangzan summoned Chengde Mansion.

Zhang Ting called them here to appease them. Except for the third lady Yannai who is Zhang Shengren's accomplice, the other three are all victims of his fishing operation. They almost lost their lives, so we must give an explanation.

Along with Mrs. Cao San, the eldest daughter, Princess Baoding, and her younger siblings, among the children of Zhang Tie, all those who have reached the age of ten and can withstand the hardships of a long journey also rushed over. .

These princes and princesses are not young anymore, but many of them have never traveled far, at most they come and go between Luoyang and Kaifeng.

This is not possible, or they should let them experience this wonderful river and mountain more.

And as soon as the ten-year-old two sons and three daughters arrived, they saw the mighty and domineering side of me, Saint Zhang.

When they arrived, the snow was fluttering like cotton wool, and the entire Lion Peak in Chengde Mansion was covered in snow. Naturally, in such weather, staying in the Rehe Palace was the most comfortable.

Although the palace is not big, there are natural floor heating with hot springs flowing underground, and there are also special hot springs for soaking in hot springs in the ice and snow.

Zhang Tie first took a beautiful hot spring bath with his sons, and then held a grand banquet.

This banquet was to see off Li Jingda, younger brother of the Southern Tang ruler Li Jing, and the Southern Tang envoy Han Xizai.

The banquet was of a very high standard, and Zhang Ting also gave Han Xizai a high evaluation, and asked his third son, Zhang Xianzhao, to ask Han Xizai about the stele inscriptions that he was very good at.

It is not easy to evaluate the level of governance of this famous official of the Southern Tang Dynasty who was left behind by "Han Xizai Night Banquet", but he is indeed a very famous writer and poet, and his character has merits.

On the left of Han Xizai is Li Jingda. After he went to Mobei with Zhang Ting, it was like a different person. The heroic spirit of the Han and Tang Dynasties of his ancestors had fully awakened in him.

When he knew that Liu Renzhan dared to take advantage of the fire to rob, and his brother Li Jing acquiesced, Li Jingda was in a hurry.

He wanted to go back to Jiangning as soon as possible to persuade his elder brother Li Jing to give up all his fantasies and honestly go to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo to be a rich and noble poet. Anyway, what his elder brother likes most is singing with a group of literati poetry.

However, Han Xizai still had some fantasies. Although Zhang Wei took the princes and princesses to hold a farewell banquet for him with a super-standard family banquet, Han Xizai kept talking about what the Southern Tang Dynasty was a courteous courtier. Jing served Dachao extremely respectfully, even if he was innocent.

This person is very good at building momentum. He has only been in Chengde Mansion for twenty days, and he has already been shaped. Li Jing's image of being submissive, cautious, and serving the dynasty like his father has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he has earned a lot of money for nothing. Less sympathy and pity.

Even among Zhang Zhou's officials, there were some who felt that the Southern Tang should not be conquered, because Li Jing looked really submissive!
Is it obedient?Without Liu Renzhan's whole appearance, it is indeed very submissive.

Since the first year of Shaoming, that is, three years ago, in 946 A.D., when Li Jing was conquered by Zhang Tie, Li Jing and Zhang Tie's aunt Empress Dowager Ciyou, birth mother Empress Dowager Cisheng, Zhang Tie himself, and Empress Cao Yanxi met every four o'clock and eighth festivals. On every birthday, officials above the Minister of Servants are sent as envoys to celebrate the birthday, and the gifts start at every turn.

Last year, on the birthday of Zhang Yu's biological mother Song, Li Jing presented the Ruyi Jinyu Nanhai Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva statue, which was deeply loved by the Empress Dowager, and was her treasure that never left her.

The Empress Dowager Cisheng also gave back Buddha statues and Buddhist beads to Li Jing's wife, Queen Zhong. Zhong took the opportunity to call Song by A Niang. The relationship was very close, and they corresponded with each other almost every month.

The Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs once calculated an account. In the past three years, the value of Li Jing's congratulatory gifts and other gifts to Ouchi alone exceeded 30 guan.

This won the favor of almost everyone around Zhang Ting, except for the three strong women, Empress Dowager Li, Cao Sanniang, and little aunt Li Ruoliu. Even Queen Cao Yanxi said that Li Jing was very obedient and good at being a man.

As for the annual tribute loss, Li Jing has never defaulted on it. Whenever the Southern Tang Dynasty's spring and autumn taxes came up, he immediately lost the tribute to Zhang Zhou according to the original agreement.

The amount exceeds 50 guan every year and is close to 200 million guan in three years.

Admit it, it's really deferential!The benefits that Li Jing can get from the small regime of the Southern Tang Dynasty every year should not be as much as Zhang Ting.

If this Li Jing is not the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but is the lord of the peninsula or ghost island, Zhang Ting is willing to give him the highest honor, give him the surname Zhang, and recognize him as his younger brother.

It's just a pity that Li Jing, the Southern Tang, occupies the land in the south of the Yangtze River, the territory of the country that is destined to be taken back.

So when he heard that Han Xizai was still talking about Li Jing's obedience, and some people still took it seriously, Zhang Ting decided to reverse this trend.

Han Xizai stroked his beautiful beard hanging down to his chin. He felt that his "diplomatic activities" were very successful. At least he deeply implanted the image of the submissive vassals of the Southern Tang Dynasty into the hearts of Zhou's monarchs and ministers. Even the emperor did not Make too big a rebuttal to what he said.

He was about to seize the opportunity to reinforce this cognition in the emperor's mind again, Zhang Teng waved his hand to stop Han Xizai's tirade, and Zhang Teng asked Han Xizai directly.

"Han Qing thinks that I am taller than Emperor Qin and Han, how about Emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty?"

Of course Han Xizai wanted to praise Zhang Ting, and he replied loudly: "The survivors of the first emperor, Fen VI, swept the world and are the ancestors of the emperor's career.

But it has the foundation of the previous kings of the Qin Dynasty, and its government is too rough. It is not as good as a saint who started from scratch in a remote place in Hexi and practiced benevolent government.

Although Henkel also started at the end of the century and managed to rule the world in four years, but he acted too freely and was surrounded by Bai Deng, so it is better for His Majesty to sweep the desert.

Only Emperor Taizong Wen of the former dynasty was comparable to the saints in terms of martial arts and martial arts, but he had the stain of Xuanwumen, so he was slightly inferior to the saints. "

"Well said!" Zhang Ting seemed very happy, but changed the topic, "You said that these three heroes are inferior to me, but in my opinion, I am far inferior to them.

Because it has been 16 years since I started my army, 13 years have passed since I first entered Guanzhong, and three years have passed since I expelled the Khitan Hulu.

In this world, is there a founding hero who has not ruled the world for 16 years? "

In fact, Han Xizai realized something was wrong when Zhang Ting was speaking halfway through, and when he heard what Zhang Ting said, he immediately prostrated himself on the ground and shouted loudly.

"In today's world, Nantang and Wuyue are all subjects of His Majesty. Those who have not yet surrendered are only the Lingnan Han Kingdom,"

"Subordinate? Good!" Zhang Ting yelled, "Then I will order Li Jing to come to Chengde Mansion immediately to have an audience. Or change the Southern Tang Kingdom to Anton."

Han Xizai didn't dare to answer these words, and he didn't know how to answer them.

However, Zhang Ting would not just let him go, I, Zhang Shengren, stretched out my right halberd and pointed at Han Xizai: "You, Han Shuyan, also read the books of sages, don't you know the truth that the world is unified and everything is perfect?
Meng Ke once said that the people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least.

Today the world has been turbulent for 200 years, and the people are struggling to survive. You kill me today, and I will kill you tomorrow. Can you not see the two-legged sheep by the Yellow River and the vegetables in Yangzhou City in the past?
A certain man started from Hexi, and he did not avoid the sword for 16 years. What he did was to revive the dynasty, bring the world back into unity, and let the people have a peaceful life.

Li Jing is indeed obedient. When he comes to Luoyang, I treat him as my own younger brother, but this world must be unified.

Compared with the peace and happiness of all the people in the world, his little Southern Tang Sheji, the little Southern Tang King, is as light as a feather! "

What a sneaky change of concept, the Southern Tang Kingdom co-authored by Li Jing is the next best society, and the ruler of the Southern Tang Dynasty is a flirtatious monarch, isn’t it your Zhou?But there is no one who is not afraid of death, dare to say so.

Of course Han Xizai didn't dare, and he knew that righteousness was indeed in Zhang Ting's hands. Since the sage Shaoming in front of him expelled the Khitan bandits and established the Central Plains, the Southern Tang Dynasty has lost righteousness.

Now Emperor Shaotian sweeps across the desert, confines wolves to live in Xu, and makes all the tribes outside the Great Wall submit to him. The Southern Tang Dynasty even has no legal basis for existence.

Han Xizai couldn't argue, so he could only cry and fell to the ground, "Everyone in the world knows that the power of a saint is irresistible, and my lord naturally knows it too, and I have no intention of daring to provoke a big country. I just want to live in the south of the Yangtze River and preserve the country.

Even if I survive for one more day, I am worthy of my ancestors who overcame thorns and thorns. Now that I am so respectful, can't the sage forgive me for a while? "

Zhang Ting waved his hand, and the big sleeves of the toga robe hit the clothes, as if there was a sound of wind and thunder, "The Southern Tang Dynasty is connected to Jianghuai in the north, and Wuyue in the south, and it is on my side.

Jiangnan is not guilty, and Li Jing is not guilty, but how can others sleep soundly on the side of the couch!

Go back and tell Li Jing that if he can come to the north, he will be my younger brother. If he dares to resist, under the thunder, there will only be fans! "

Han Xizai's face was full of panic, and all the envoys from the Southern Tang Dynasty who followed him turned pale, and even Li Jingda's complexion changed drastically.

As for Zhou Guowen and Wu who were present, all of them had passionate pride and ambition on their faces.

How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch.This is Zhao Da's strongest voice in history, the most domineering.

Today, Zhang Ting used it to sweep across Mobei and empty the power of corruption in the country, and he was full of pride like a huge wave.

Han Xizai burst into tears, and said to his left and right: "My ancestors lived on the salary of the Tang Dynasty, and Zai was greatly favored by Emperor Gao of Liezu, but he couldn't save the country. How can we meet after death?"

After all, the envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty cried loudly with Han Xizai, the cry was extremely miserable, and some even kowtowed repeatedly on the ground, only to splash blood on their foreheads.

Even though Li Jingda had the idea of ​​persuading his elder brother to donate the family register of the album, he couldn't help but burst into tears from his heart.

All the Zhou Guowen and Wu Xun ministers around looked unbearable, except for killers like Luo Yuer and Gao Huaide, people like Yang Jiye were also infected by them.

Zhang Ting turned his head slightly and saw that there were crystal tears rolling in the eyes of Mrs. Cao San. I don't know if she thought of the situation of Guiyi Army in the past.His daughters were even more unbearable, and they were already in tears.

woman!No matter how strong she is, she will always be infected by external emotions when she is not paying attention.

But my Saint Zhang is different, he is very hard-hearted!

Zhang Wei stepped forward and helped Li Jingda up. Han Xizai didn't care about it. This guy actually regarded the Southern Tang Dynasty built by Li Min as a continuation of the Later Tang Dynasty. What else can he say?

Zhang Ting helped Li Jingda up, "Tai Shigong said that there is a difference between a person who is heavier than Mount Tai and lighter than a feather.

Although your family has to cry for the country today, it can save the people in the south of the Yangtze River from crying and mourning in every family, and every household wears mourning. You should know that the former is like a feather, and the latter is like Mount Tai.

I swear to unify the world and rebuild the great dynasty. This heart is like a stone. Even if it is bombarded by thunder and burned by fire, it will never change!
Go back and persuade your brother to come to Tokyo to be a happy king. I leave him the title of King Wu, so that he must not mistake himself. "

Li Jingda stood up with tears streaming down his face, and nodded resolutely, "It's better for a family to cry than a country. I, Li Shi, cry today, but the people in the south of the Yangtze River don't have to cry tomorrow. I understand this truth."

Han Xizai was dumbfounded. The pathetic offensive he launched with all his strength was like an egg hitting a rock in the face of Zhang Ting's national righteousness.
