The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1392 Li Yu's own death
"General Lin, now our country has reached the most dangerous time. Your body is still... Could it be that God is going to kill us?"

Chen Qiao was weeping, he came to see Lin Renzhao, and told him about the recent events in court.

"Why is there no one in the civil and military courts who can take care of my Tang Dynasty? These people are really useless. As for Huangfu Jixun, didn't I recommend him to command the army temporarily? How did this happen?"

Lin Renzhao was indeed seriously ill. He was shot with an arrow on the battlefield, and he was furious, so he is really ill now.

"General Lin, don't you know something? This Huangfu Jixun feared the battle to protect himself, and killed all eight of Li Xiong's father and son. Hey..."

Chen Qiao didn't hide anything, and told the whole story, Lin Ren was so angry that he was furious.

"General Lin, don't be angry. The matter has reached this point. It's useless to say anything. Now let's see how long our Great Tang can survive." Chen Qiao is also a loyal minister, and he will never leave Tang. of.

"The rivers in Jinling are now full of warships from the Great Song Dynasty. According to my investigation, those are the warships that you wanted to destroy when your lord was admonishing you."

Chen Qiao said another piece of bad news, that is, the river is basically controlled by the Song Dynasty Navy, especially those warships. Lin Renzhao was stunned when he heard these.

"It's a pity that the king didn't listen to the veterans back then, otherwise there would be such a situation." Lin Renzhao was really heartbroken.

At that time, Li Yu was often disturbed by Lin Renzhao in the Buddhist temple and almost killed Lin Renzhao. Li Yu was very angry and wanted to transfer Lin Renzhao from the navy.

Because Lin Renzhao was in charge of training the new navy at the beginning and had to deal with Da Song. It was also very difficult for him to see Li Yu angry at this time
At that time, Lin Renzhao said, the lord, if the minister offends the lord, the minister voluntarily accepts the crime, but the minister has two requests. One, please take back the order from the lord, and please do not transfer the minister from the navy. The minister guards the southern capital to prevent the Song army from crossing the thunder pool. ah;

[-]. Please do not slander the Buddha. This monk is a monstrous monk. Using the name of Buddha to seduce the monarch and bring disaster to the country and the people. Please kill the monk.

The lord of the country is too sycophant. Using useful wealth to support useless people is not only a waste of public funds, but also corrupts people's hearts. Please issue an edict today not to use public funds to support monks. Please use the money to support monks to support soldiers to enrich the national strength and strengthen national defense. .

These are all facts, if only Li Yu could do what Lin Renzhao said at that time.

Originally, Li Yu admired Lin Renzhao a little bit, but when he heard Lin Renzhao said that he didn't believe in Buddhism, he got angry and lost his temper
But what Lin Renzhao said was even more reasonable. He said that one of the most important measures of Zhou Shizong's reforms was to destroy Buddhas and temples, make monks and nuns return to vulgarity and return to agriculture to increase the production population, and destroyed bronze Buddhas to make money. The scarcity of coins.

Lord, if there are more Buddhists, the imperial court will lose a man's tax and service. You have wasted too much thought and money for Buddhism. I implore the Lord to put the family and the country first.

It's so good, but before Li Yu had time to say anything, Xu You started to label him.

"Well, you, Lin Renzhao, dare to talk to the lord like this, and Lin Renzhao carries weapons, and his subordinates threaten the lord, and bluntly offend the superior, is it tolerable or unbearable? No matter how high-sounding the reason is, it is not advisable. Besides, the lord The retreat is also for the welfare of the people of the whole country, and these ministers deserve to die, and it is difficult to make an example if they are not killed."

Xu You is a villain. What he does is not for the country, but for himself. However, he grasped the fact that Lin Renzhao did come with weapons, and even soldiers. .

He did implement the military remonstrance, otherwise he would not dare to talk to Li Yu like this, which happened to let a villain like Xu You take advantage of the loophole.

"My lord, in the autumn of national calamity, I am so anxious to worry about the country and the people. Please, the Lord of the country, remember the utter sincerity of my minister. Please redeem my innocence."

Lin Renzhao was not afraid of death, he knew that if he died, Nan Tang would be in greater danger, not because he was arrogant, but because Nan Tang really didn't have any decent generals.

"Hmph, in the autumn of national calamity, everyone is very anxious. Can you be arrogant if you are so anxious? I ask the lord to punish Lin Renzhao severely, which is a crime of disrespect." Xu You didn't know what was going on, so he confronted Lin Renzhao.

"My lord, you want to kill my ministers. I have no complaints, but please listen to my ministers to finish their words. My lord, although the territory between our dynasty and the Song Dynasty is bounded by the Yangtze River, the people on both sides of the strait can travel freely, and the traffic is not hindered." , but recently the Northern Dynasties banned business travelers from crossing the river, and the common people were not allowed to fish, fish and hunt along the river. This situation is unusual.

Recently, a businessman secretly reported to the general that the Song court had built thousands of warships and parked in Jingnan, and I was [-]% sure that they built these warships to prepare for the invasion of Jiangnan, so I asked the lord to order the ministers to burn these warships. "

Lin Renzhao paid close attention to the situation in Jiangbei all the time, and this time he boldly expressed his thoughts again.

"How is this possible? What if Song Ting used this as an excuse to attack us? Then we are no different from the Southern Han Dynasty? I transferred you because I was worried about your impulsiveness, and what I was afraid of was that you would lightly start the war."

Li Yu started shaking his head as soon as he heard it. This is what he was afraid of. It would be fine for Da Song not to cause trouble. Now he is still actively provoking him. Isn't this courting death?

Lin Renzhao's reason is that the battleship of the Song Dynasty is there. If we don't destroy it, it will become a disaster in the future. We must guard against it!Lord, you transfer your ministers away, what if the Song army comes south?Who can replace the minister?Who can understand my Jiangnan Navy better than Chen?

"Lin Renzhao, what are you doing? Do you feel that you have made great contributions and don't take the king seriously? You really deserve death!"

Did Xu Youzai jump out here? He still has to deal with Lin Renzhao
"That's enough, Xu You! You, you can lead the king to chant scriptures and worship Buddha, but you must not bring the country into a state of subjugation! Just beg for mercy and be careful! You, you have no backbone, can this country be strong? Yes How long will it be strong? Cough cough.. Lord, Gou Quan is only for a while. If the country lasts for a long time, we must rely on our own defense! You let this kind of person take you to listen to monks talk about Buddhism, it is better to listen to Lin Renzhao's "Strong Country" Law!"

Pan You was also present at the time. In the end, Li Yu punished Lin Renzhao. Although he did not kill him, he was demoted several levels. It took Lin Renzhao two years to recover slowly.

It is the warships built at that time that are crossing the river now. The pontoon bridge only allows the troops of the Song Dynasty to enter the south of the Yangtze River, so now the warships of the Song Dynasty can be seen everywhere on the river.

"General Lin, at the beginning the main reason for the country was to listen to you. It will definitely not be what it is today, and the villain Xu Youneng is in the way, which makes the country what it is now."

Pan You knew what Lin Renzhao meant. He was dissatisfied with Lin Renzhao. In fact, Li Yu did it all by himself in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
