The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1407 Arrangements for Li Yu
Apart from paying attention to the outside world every day, Zhao Xu has nothing else to do. He chatted with Li Yu, and Li Yu has temporarily stabilized after his enlightenment.

Zhao Xu and his team returned to Bianjing in less than half a month. Originally, the fastest speed was more than a month, but Zhao Xu couldn't wait. Their ship never docked within half a month.

That's how Zhao Xu arrived in Bianjing in the shortest possible time. Of course, this time Li Yu came, and Zhao Kuangyin didn't hold any welcome ceremony for him, which was regarded as a face for him.

In the Chongyuan Hall of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin sat at the top to meet Li Yu. Li Yu came to see Zhao Kuangyin in white clothes as a guilty minister. This was the first time he saw Li Yu for so many years.

The two met after many years, and Zhao Kuangyin was also full of emotion. He really missed the days of wandering in the rivers and lakes, but now is not the time to talk about these things. He wants to teach Li Yu a good lesson.

"Criminal of subjugation, Li Yu sees His Majesty the Emperor of Shangbang!" Li Yu knelt down on the ground obediently. Today is different from the past, and he has to bow his head. There is no other way.

"Pingshen, Li Yu, you finally came to Bianjing. I don't know how long I have been waiting for this day. You have only come now, but I finally saw you standing in front of me." Zhao Kuangyin seems to have been looking forward to Li Yu's arrival .

"Li Yu, I have asked you to come to Beijing many times, and you have repeatedly refused orders to go to court, Li Yu, are you guilty?" Instead of being nice, but suddenly Li Zhao Kuangyin's tone changed, this time Li Yu was not as scared as before, as if As if relaxed.

"The king of the subjugated country, I deserve to die for my crime. There is no need to say any more. Please let the emperor die, and the ministers have no complaints." Li Yu didn't know why he said such a thing to Zhao Kuangyin, and it sounded a bit tough.

"Hmph, what kind of ambition do you have? You've troubled me with the army of the Celestial Dynasty stationed in the south of the Yangtze River for more than a year. I besieged rather than attacked because I didn't want to hurt the people of Li, but you refused to surrender regardless of the lives of the people. You don't have to reflect on yourself. , Want to die? It's not that easy."

Thinking about it at this moment, Zhao Kuangyin is really angry. If I want you to die, why don’t I ask you to come here? As early as the day the city is destroyed, I can find an excuse to kill you, that It was a time of turmoil, and it was not easy to find a few soldiers?

"I want you to die. I can tell you that I will definitely not wait until now. Don't worry, I will not kill you. On the contrary, I will praise you. You finally gave up resistance for the well-being of the people and saved the people from disaster. That's a credit."

What Zhao Kuangyin said is reasonable and well-founded. You finally left the city and surrendered to save our soldiers from the Song Dynasty from casualties. From this point of view, Li Yu is not bad, and he did a good job in this matter.

"Since you have come to surrender, I will pardon all of your sins according to the usual practice, and seal them according to your official rank." This practice refers to all the monarchs who surrendered.

Meng Chang was made Duke of Qin, and Liu Yu was also made. The best thing was Qian Chu, who was made King of Wu and Yue. Who would let him surrender on his own initiative? Zhao Kuangyin also wanted to convey his meaning to the world:
"As long as you follow me, you will have a good life." Now Li Yu has also surrendered. Although he violated his will many times, Zhao Kuangyin still can't kill him, not only can't kill him, but also give him an official position according to the usual practice.

"It is proposed to designate Li Yu as Doctor Guanglu, Inspector Taifu, and General Youqianniuwei."

The official positions mentioned by Zhao Kuangyin are all false titles, and they don't have much actual power. In fact, they are just honorary titles. Just give you a salary, which is enough for you to live a stable life.

"There is another point, you have repeatedly disobeyed my will, and you are the only person in the world who dares to disobey my holy order, so I will give you the title of Disobedient Marquis, and confer Li Yu as Disobedient Marquis."

It was still a disobedience, Zhao Kuangyin finally made Li Yu a disobedience, Zhao Xu heard that his father named Li Yu as a disobedience in the hall, this is a great irony for Li Yu, Li Yu also understands this in his heart .

I violated Zhao Kuangyin's will many times at the beginning. At the beginning, Zhao Kuangyin ordered Li Yu to come to Bianjing many times, but Li Yu himself did not come. of.

This is more humiliating than surrendering himself. Li Yu didn't speak for a long time. He was really uncomfortable in his heart, which made him very embarrassed. This Zhao Kuangyin was just a poor boy when he was with him back then. The poor boy actually destroyed his own country.

"Li Yu hastened to thank the emperor, what are you doing?" Zhao Xu saw that Li Yu was still standing there in a daze without saying a word, what are you doing, can you be stunned at this time?

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Li Yu knelt down to thank Zhao Xu immediately after Zhao Xu's reminder.

"Father, please show me how to arrange the old ministers and members of the Li family in Jiangnan." Zhao Xu raised a question, that is, how to deal with the people who followed Jiangnan, and no minister can make decisions about these matters.

"Jiangnan ex-officials and members of the Li family can also be exonerated and appointed generals of the guards, plus rewards such as crowns, coins, and pommel horses. Let the crown prince and Zhao Pu make the specific arrangements." Zhao Kuangyin had already thought about it. Can you give me some false titles? These people are useless trash. It’s okay if they are honest, but if they are not honest with you, then argue with them.

"The guilty minister thanked His Majesty the Emperor for his kindness, His Majesty's kindness is mighty and glorious through the ages!"

"Okay, Li Yuzhen will summon you alone later. In addition, all officials are listening. Without my will in the future, no one is allowed to have any contact, visit or communication with Li Yu and his family. Those who violate the order Severe punishment!"

"According to the order!"

In order to protect Li Yu, Zhao Kuangyin actually prevented the minister from contacting Li Yu's family members in private. Zhao Xu did not expect this. After arranging for Li Yu, the court meeting was basically over. Zhao Kuangyin had already left, but his personal eunuch called Li Yu past.

"Your Highness, today His Majesty was a little abnormal in the early court, and he directly rewarded Li Yu. There was no rumor about this beforehand, and the official saw that His Majesty seemed to have something on his mind. What is going on, Your Highness?"

As soon as he turned to Zhao Pu, he asked Li Yu, because he could clearly see that Zhao Kuangyin was not in shape today, and he didn't even issue a reward order from the Song army. Isn't this abnormal?

"Haha, father and Li Yu are old acquaintances. They used to be old friends. Maybe they are happy to meet old friends. As for the rewards of our soldiers, can we be less?" Zhao Xu knows how Zhao Kuangyin treats his soldiers. There is no need to worry about these at all.
