Chapter 977
Li Hongji said: "Then... we can't ignore the second brother. How about sending Wang Ran directly to silence the Wang family in Zhennan?"

"To put it simply, if high martial arts can solve all problems, then I am useless as an emperor. Wouldn't it be better to let Lei Hong or Bu Xiangyang be the emperor?" Li Jing said depressedly: "You have to learn I still have a lot of things, and it’s not that I don’t want to take care of Hongmao. He is also my own son. Can I not take care of him? But I can’t take care of him now. I hope he can survive this disaster. As long as Da Zhou retreats, I must It is impossible to uproot Yang Ying's power."

"That's all for later. If the second brother dies, it's useless to kill Yang Ying." Li Hongji said: "Or transfer the second brother back to Jinling, and send anyone to Tanzhou. As long as the second brother doesn't die , nothing else matters."

Li Jing stared at Li Hongji very depressed, this kid is willing to give for the second child, it would be great if he could share some of these feelings with the third child.

However, Li Jing was very interested in this idea. It is indeed dangerous to put the second child in Tanzhou. If the second child dies, Tanzhou will still be occupied by Yang Ying.

In fact, Li Jing had thought about this method a long time ago, but no matter who he sent to Tanzhou, the result would be either killed or bought by Yang Ying. The only thing Li Jing could trust was his own son, and Li Hongmao would not be bought. So as long as he can live, the Chu world belongs to him.

But after Li Hongji's reminder, Li Jing suddenly felt a little stupid, if the second child died, Chu Di would still not belong to him.Now there is only one way to take a step back, as long as Da Zhou retreats, even if Yang Ying occupies Jiangxi, he can still spit it out.

Anyway, the result is the same now, the second child will definitely not survive the retreat of Da Zhou, so taking him back directly can save his life.

Li Jing said: "I didn't expect you to say such a thing. It's rare that you have such a heart. It's really rare. In fact, no matter who I send to Tanzhou, the effect is the same. They will either be killed or bought. Only Hong Mao He will not be bought, so I will send him to Tanzhou to be the King of Chu. The taxes in Yandao are so high, I am very pleased that you would rather not have these taxes for the sake of your brother. I can do this for my brothers, and I don’t care for my son Yes. I will immediately issue an order to recall Hong Maochuan back to Beijing."

"Father's grace is so great~~" Li Hongji was truly moved. If there is only one person he cares about in the world today, it is his second brother Li Hongmao, not even his father Li Jing.

Li Jing said: "Okay, you can send someone directly, and the order will be issued later. I still have to think about some things, some things that make me a little embarrassed."

"My son is going to go to Tanzhou to pick up my second brother in person... Great, our two brothers meet again." Li Hongji really has nothing serious to do now. An ordinary prince should share the emperor's worries, but Li Hongji is a Alternative, almost every day is a pain in the ass, just look at the memorials occasionally, but soon get tired of it.

Now the only person who can help Li Jing is Li Congjia, the third son. Now Li Congjia is the King of Wu in the south of the Yangtze River, but he rarely goes to the south of the Yangtze River, and stays in Jinling all the year round to handle the government affairs for Li Jing.After all, Jiangnan is also the territory of Li Jingsui, King of Yan, and they are a family anyway, so Li Jing rarely guards against him, and Li Congjia has nothing serious to do while staying in Jiangnan.

This time when the Great Zhou sent troops to attack, Li Jingsui responded positively. The power and status he currently possesses are based on the fact that he is the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty. If the Southern Tang Dynasty destroys the country, everything he owns now will disappear without a trace, let alone... Li Jingsui also hoped to let the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty see how powerful he is.

Li Jingsui was his original name, because after Emperor Li Jing changed his name, Li Jingsui also changed his name to Li Sui.In fact, the Li family was the generation of Jingzi when they came to their generation. After Li Jing became king, he took away the Jingzi of other people, added a king in front of his own Jingzi, and became Jing, which proved that he was the king.

Although Yan Wang Li Sui was arrogant and domineering, he had no reason to rebel.In fact, Li Sui basically believed that after the death of his elder brother Li Jing, he should be the emperor next.After all, two of the eldest brother's three sons are idiots, and the other is blind. Who else can he be?

In fact, Li Sui's favorite is Li Congjia, no matter his talent in martial arts, or even leading troops in war, he is a good player.If Li Congjia succeeded the emperor, Li Sui would not have any objections.But such an excellent child turned out to be blind... What an act of God.

In fact, Li Sui couldn't figure out why they were so stupid in the next life, and so was his son...

Therefore, Li Sui's greatest wish is that his eldest brother live a few more years, and when their grandchildren grow up, see which one is most suitable to be emperor.If there is a suitable candidate, just give him the throne directly.

On the surface, Li Sui is Li Jing's opponent, but after all, they are two brothers, and their common interests will not change. The throne must be in the hands of their own family. The only difference between them is who is the most suitable.

That's why Li Jing was so reassured about the Jiangnan region. The conflict between him and Li Sui was only an internal conflict. This was a completely different concept from an outsider attack. If an outsider wanted to seize their family's throne, of course they would all agree with each other.

Li Jing didn't care, after all, this is still the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he is the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who would dare to do anything to him?Even if Yang Ying keeps sending assassins to assassinate Li Hongmao, although he is brave enough, he will not be so stupid that he also kills Li Hongji, because Li Hongji has no effect on Yang Ying's plan.

Regardless of Li Hongji being the prince, the title of prince is actually the most useless. The prince can only prove that he is the first heir to the Southern Tang Dynasty, but in fact he has no real power.

There is no doubt that the prince's status is high. He can control everything that happens in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but it is another matter to control it.

To put it simply, Li Hongji has the absolute right to speak, but not the slightest decision-making power.Say yes, no matter what, but he is not the one who makes the final decision.

What's more, as long as Li Jing ordered Li Hongmao to return to the capital, Zhennan Wang Yangying would get the information, basically Li Jing was soft on him.They are going to send another one to take over Tanzhou, as long as it is not Li Hongmao, others will be easy to buy.

In fact, Li Jing already knew that as long as he gave up Tanzhou's tax collection, Yang Ying would be temporarily stable.It's just that the Southern Tang treasury has always had no money, and Li Jing is really unwilling to give up the big piece of meat in Tanzhou.

But Li Jing figured it out in the past two days... It should be said that he was awakened because Li Congjia came back.

The busiest person during this period was Li Congjia. As the King of Wu in the south of the Yangtze River, his real power was in the Jiangnan area, so he was going there to prepare for the war and deploy troops and food.In addition, he also had to offer valuable advice to Li Sui's army.

In addition, Li Congjia was also responsible for the procurement of the entire army. The food and supplies that were ruined by Liu Yanzhen were collected by Li Congjia from all over the world. The money Li Jing gave was not much, and the things were expensive. Li Congjia managed to raise so many things. , it just disappeared like this...

It stands to reason that Li Hongji should be allowed to do these things, and Li Jing also hopes that his eldest son will have some opportunities to exercise.But Li Hongji is the kind of person who doesn't even know how many steamed buns a penny can buy...

The purchase this time was of great importance, and Li Hongji himself didn't want to go. He just wanted to take a good rest, because he felt exhausted from the preparations for this time.

Li Jing also has nothing to do with this stupid son. The only thing that comforts him is that his son is just an idiot, he is not a fool, let alone an idiot.

Li Hongji will not do things that he can't do or can't do well, let alone rush to do them. He will only leave this matter to someone who can do it well, so that he can feel at ease.

This kind of behavior is undoubtedly an idiot, because if he can't do it, he just dumps it on others.In fact, even if Li Hongji can't do it, he can go with Li Congjia. If he can't do it this time, he will do it next time... If Li Hongji has this awareness, he can be upgraded from an idiot to a mediocrity.

To put it simply, Li Hongji was not eligible to be killed.

Li Jing has been wondering about this question these years, all three are of his own species, why is there such a big difference?Could it be that the posture of sowing seeds is wrong?

If the three sons are as shrewd as the third son, which round will Chai Rong send troops to?I'm afraid that even Guo Wei's ascension to the throne will never happen, and the world will be unified long ago.

In the past two days, Li Congjia was staying at home because of Liu Yanzhen sending food and grass thousands of miles away. He was not angry but Li Jing punished him.

The reason is very simple. After Li Congjia learned about this, he directly scolded all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty in the Golden Palace.

Li Jing opened his mouth to smooth things over, but Li Congjia even scolded Li Jing.It is said that he is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and Chai Rong will personally lead the expedition, so why can't he personally send food and grass to the front line?Even if the hundred officials recommended it, if Li Jing said that he would personally escort the grain and grass to Shouzhou, he could still avoid conflict with the hundred officials, and he would also get their appreciation.

During that time, Li Congjia happened to be doing errands outside, running around for this battle, it can be said that he was doing his best.As a result, being made more and more troublesome by these idiots, it is understandable for Li Congjia to be angry.

After all, Li Jing was the emperor, even though he knew in his heart that he mishandled it this time, he would never admit his mistake, because the emperor would never be wrong.Since I was right, the wrong person must be Li Congjia.

In addition, Li Congjia angered all the officials on the Golden Palace, insulting the emperor in the alley, which is a felony that can punish the nine clans.But Li Jing was originally in the Nine Clans, and Li Congjia's excitement was justifiable, and the civil and military officials present also knew how much disaster he had caused because of his recommendation, and he deserved to be scolded.

So Li Jing didn't punish Li Congjia severely, but just made him think at home for three days before leaving the house.

Li Jing knew that Li Congjia was capable, but Li Congjia's handling of people...was far behind the two elder brothers.Li Hongji and Li Hongmao are absolutely fine people in dealing with things. The two brothers know what to say when they see someone much better than the average person. That's why Li Hongji received such high support.

It's not that Li Congjia doesn't know how to deal with people, he's just arrogant and looks down on these officials, so he doesn't think it's necessary to be polite to these people.Of course, Li Jing also vaguely felt that Li Congjia looked down on him... As an emperor and a father, it is only natural for Li Jing to be angry.
