The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1378

"Conferring Lin Renzhao as Marquis of Wu to celebrate his repelling the Song army's attack again. Pei Houde sent my edict to the front line, and at the same time all the soldiers who have made meritorious service on the front line will be rewarded."

Li Yu is also quite happy. After all, he has achieved remarkable results in confronting Da Song head-on, which makes him quite excited.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. It seems that the Song Dynasty is not so invincible. General Lin Renzhao has wiped out tens of thousands of troops in the Song Dynasty in these few battles. The Song Dynasty's army is invincible as others said. This Isn't the myth self-defeating?" Feng Yansi said flatteringly.

"I think the lord of the country can restore the title of emperor at this time, and declare to the outside world that we don't want our Tang Dynasty to no longer designate the Song Dynasty as Zhengshuo. How can Zhengshuo, who is the lord of the Tang Dynasty, be inferior to others?"

Feng Yansi's skill in flattering is really high, especially when the Southern Tang Dynasty was victorious, he spoke to Li Yu and asked Li Yu to restore the title of emperor.

This is too much to be driven by the wind. All the ministers despise this person in their hearts, but no one dares to say more.

Li Yu didn't say anything when he heard Feng Yansi say this. Claiming to be the lord of the country was a disgrace in his life, a disgrace to his father.

Claiming to be the lord of the country was when Li Yu ascended the throne. As soon as he ascended the throne, he presented to Zhao Kuangyin, changed the lord of the Tang Dynasty to the lord of Jiangnan, and then downgraded the regime himself. The name was changed, such as Shangshu Province was renamed Sihuifu.

At the same time, Zhao Kuangyin was asked to call himself Congjia and not to call himself the lord of the country, but Zhao Kuangyin did not agree. Now that they have broken their faces with Da Song, there should be no need to worry about these.

"That's right, Lord, the Great Song Dynasty is determined to never die. Why don't we restore our country name at this time, so that it can be justified. At that time, anyone who is dissatisfied with the Great Song Dynasty should rise up. Those who resist, please ask the Lord to issue a decree to restore the Zhengshuo of the Tang Dynasty."

Many ministers thought that what Feng Yansi said was right, and now that he and Song Dynasty were inseparable, did they still care so much!
Li Yu was right when he thought about it. He was originally the emperor, but he was persecuted by Song Dynasty before. Now he has no way out, and it's time to feel proud.

After Li Yu succeeded to the throne, the situation became even more unfavorable to the Southern Tang Dynasty: the territory was reduced from 35 states at its peak to 21 states, and Jinling, the capital, was separated from the enemy country by a river, directly under the military threat of the Song Dynasty.

Li Yu felt as if a sharp sword was hanging above his head, and he didn't know when it would fall.Therefore, as soon as he came to the throne, he made a national policy of adhering to the Song Dynasty and seeking to be more peaceful in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Think twice, the lord, don't be impulsive!" At this time, a loud voice sounded from behind the crowd, but it seemed so discordant. At this time, everyone guessed clearly who dared to say this.

Dali Temple Minister Xiao Yan!

Li Yu also saw him, but Li Yu still thought that he was a little afraid of this person, who was this person, and he had never heard of him before.

Xiao Yan, Qingqing of Dali Temple, was a loyal and upright veteran of the three dynasties.

Once when he entered the palace for a face-to-face performance, Li Yu was confronting his concubine, playing chess in high spirits, and was carelessly coping with his face-to-face performance, and he overturned the chessboard in a rage.

The concubine serving chess looked at the angry Xiao Yan and the black and white chess pieces rolling all over the ground, and was frightened out of her wits.Li Yu was also embarrassed and at a loss.

After a brief stalemate, Li Yu asked sharply: "Xiao Qing is so bold, can't he do today's Wei Zheng?"

Xiao Yan did not show any weakness, and confronted him tit for tat: "Of course I dare not call myself Wei Zheng, but your majesty is not the reincarnation of Emperor Taizong of Tang."

Li Yu knew that he was in the wrong, and it was inconvenient for the founding veteran to continue to attack, so he had to swallow his anger and end up depressed.

In fact, Li Yu has nothing to do with this person. Faced with Li Yu's obsession with Buddhist affairs, this old minister is addicted to sensuality, which leads to the emptiness of the country's preparations, lax war preparations, and delays in the status quo of the government. It angered some of the courtiers. Shu, bluntly, I hope Li Yu can find his way back and save the crisis.

Among them is this Xiao Yan, who is so merciless to Li Yu, and directly tells him that he is wrong, which makes Li Yu helpless.

There are still many such things, so Li Yu can't be willful towards such people. Someone has died willful before, and Pan You and Li Ping died because of his willfulness.

He didn't dare to offend this veteran of the three dynasties too much. He Li Yu now knows that he was indeed a bit willful before.

"Why not, I want to hear your opinion?" This time Li Yu was not as angry as he imagined, but asked calmly.

"My lord, although we have won several battles, our national power is not as strong as that of the Song Dynasty. We are now surrounded by the Song Dynasty on three sides. Can't you see the situation clearly, my lord?"

Xiao Yan said seriously.

There is the main force of the Song Dynasty in the north, the Song army in Shu in the west, and the old land of the Southern Han Dynasty in the south, where the Song army led by Pan Mei is there. spoke.

What he said is the truth, no one can deny this fact, no one can deny this fact, and who dares to say otherwise!

Xiao Yan just said a word, and the others stopped talking, and they stopped arguing. Facts speak louder than words. No matter how much they say, it is useless. They can't use their mouths to annihilate the three armies of the Song Dynasty. Did you tell me to go?

Li Yu stopped talking as soon as he heard it, and immediately said that he would retreat from the court. It is a day to be able to live a day, let's work hard to prepare for the war, and there is still a glimmer of hope in the end.

"Since I succeeded to the throne, I have lost power and humiliated the country. I am sorry for the ancestors of the Li family, but from now on, I will be a real descendant of the Li family and will definitely maintain the authority of my Tang Dynasty."

After Li Yu came to the ancestral temple of the Li family, he visited the ancestors and ancestors. The portrait in the middle is not Li Jing, nor Li Min, but Li Shimin. offspring.

So Li Shimin is of course the most prominent position, so Li Yu wants to meet Li Shimin.

"Our Great Tang and Great Song are already immortal, but I will definitely not resist this time. I want to revive the majesty of the Tang Dynasty. Even if I lose, I feel that I can be worthy of my ancestors."

Zhao Xu never thought that Li Yu would say these things in his ancestral temple. When did Li Yu become so strong? awareness.
