Chapter 990 The Secret of Double Pupils
"Not bad~ Hongji, apart from learning martial arts, what else have you learned?"

Li Hongji breathed a sigh of relief, then straightened his waist, put one hand behind his back and said, "I don't really learn much. As I said just now, I just understand the value of a penny and how to behave. But That's enough for me right now."

"It's enough, it's really enough..." Li Jing was so moved that she almost cried.This time he really believed it, believing that his son had repented and the prodigal son had returned.It's not easy, he almost didn't dare to think about such extravagant things, which expert taught his son to be like this?
"By the way, father, apart from forcing Zhennan King Yang Ying back to the capital to be punished this time, I have another important matter to discuss with father."

"Say~ you can say anything... I will definitely agree to it for my father." Li Jing didn't know what to say, anyway, now he would never refute his son's request, so touched...

Li Hongji said: "I won't talk about unnecessary nonsense, my father should know more than my father. I want a few ships and my father's letter. My son is going to go to the Khitan border by sea, Khitan borrowed a road to go directly to the Wang Clan outside Cangzhou, and spent a lot of money to invite the craftsmen of the Wang Clan to install the defense equipment in Shouzhou. Shouzhou was originally impenetrable, but if there were the defense equipment of the Wang Clan, it would be invincible .The most important thing now is to defend Shouzhou, only wait for Chai Rong to squander Guo Wei's gift, then it is time for us to fight back."

Li Jing was completely dumbfounded, it wasn't that he didn't understand Li Hongji's words, he just didn't believe that these words would come out of Li Hongji's mouth.This is an extremely brilliant military deployment and strategic vision, but this kind of thing happened in front of his eyes, what happened to the boss?
Li Congjia was also stupid, he actually thought about this matter, but he didn't want to establish diplomatic relations with Khitan, because he also hated Khitan very much.But if you go directly to the north, it is impossible to pass the Dazhou boundary and bring people back from Cangzhou.

Li Congjia just thought about it at the time, if there were the defense equipment of the king clan, it could really guarantee that Shouzhou would be safe, no matter how many people Chai Rong sent, they would all return without success.But it was too difficult to bring the members of the Wang Clan from Cangzhou to Shouzhou, so Li Congjia didn't think about it any more.

Now this matter has been brought up by Li Hongji, and the plan he gave is completely feasible.This is no longer a matter of maturity, the current Li Hongji is simply the pillar of the country.

How can there be such a big change in a few months?Li Jing really couldn't believe it, and Li Congjia couldn't believe it either. How could such a thing be possible?

Li Jing came back to his senses and said: "Hongji, don't joke with me, who came up with this method?"

"I don't want to ask for credit, but I really came up with this plan myself. After all, I'm the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so I don't need to ask for credit at all. If possible, I really hope to give these credits to some confidants, so that the These people can be reused."

Li Hongji's words are very realistic. He is the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and sooner or later the Southern Tang Dynasty will be handed over to him, so he doesn't need any credit at all.If he really has these credits, he would rather give others to gain approval ratings.

Li Jing and Li Congjia also understood what Li Hongji meant. He wanted to do more for Southern Tang. He wanted to protect this land and this country.As for those who have merit or not, he doesn't look down on them at all.Is this still the Li Hongji from before?Obviously no longer.

Li Jing even had some doubts, whether someone used disguise technique to pretend to be his son.But after looking carefully, he also found that this was his own son, after all, he was his own... There was no reason why he couldn't recognize it.

Changed, really changed.

Li Jing and Li Congjia are completely sure that the useless idiot Li Hongji from before has completely changed. He is now a very shrewd prince, and his mentality is completely different from before. The former Li Hongji was in a hurry even if he came up with a bad idea. Asking for credit from Li Jing, Li Jing at that time really wanted to vomit.

Li Jing nodded and said: "Father has decided on this matter, but you have just returned to Jinling, so you should rest for a while before starting your journey."

"I obey the order. I may rest for about half a month, because I hope to keep someone alone during this half month..." Li Hongji said: "Father, I don't know something. That Wu Yazi said The chief was originally just the guard of the second child, and he was recommended by a friend of the second child. At that time, the man offered a price of one thousand taels of gold, and he would be a guard for half a year. When Erchen heard the price, he was so angry that he almost lost his temper. Even if our family is rich, It can't be wasted like this. But later, after Erchen learned about Taoist Wuyazi's ability, he really felt that a thousand taels of gold was too little. Erchen was even willing to offer 10 taels of gold to keep Taoist Wuyazi for half a year. It's a pity that there is no such thing. Taoist priest Yazi is not short of money, he really wants to get a thousand taels of gold and leave Southern Tang... I want to keep Taoist priest Wuyazi sincerely, but if I can't keep him, I don't want to force him."

"Who is this master Wu Yazi? Why have you never heard of it?" Li Jing said depressedly: "Cong Jia, you often walk around the rivers and lakes, have you ever heard of this person?"

"It's kind of familiar, but I can't remember it at all." Li Congjia shook his head. He had never heard of Wu Yazi, but the name felt familiar. Why?
"Where is Taoist Master Wu Yazi now? I want to meet this Taoist priest in person. What is he capable of?" Li Jing is also very interested in Wu Yazi, and if he can teach his idiot son to be like this, if If he wasn't the emperor, he really wanted to go up and kowtow to Taoist Priest Wu Yazi, but if he was the emperor, a little gratitude would be enough.

Li Hongji said: "At this time, Taoist Priest Wu Yazi is in the East Palace, and my ministers can immediately introduce Taoist Priest to get acquainted with Father. However... in some cases, if Taoist Priest Wu Yazi does not enter the Palace, can Father move to the East Palace?"

"Hmm~ This kind of extraterrestrial expert will have some eccentricities, it's nothing to walk a few steps, and drive the East Palace."

"Wait a minute... Please wait a moment, father." Li Hongji said: "Everyone go out, and Venerable Bailian please go out for a while. Xiao Wang has important matters to discuss with father and third brother. This matter involves royal privacy."

"As ordered."

Venerable Bailian immediately drove everyone out of the imperial study, and he closed the door by himself.After everyone moved away, Li Hongji was ready to speak.

"Sir, stop pretending, I know you're not blind."

As soon as these words came out, Li Jing and Li Congjia trembled, and both of them were so frightened that they almost fell down.Because of the support of all officials, no second heir is allowed to appear. Although Li Jing is not afraid of him, he is very worried that his three sons and brothers will kill each other. You must know that Li Congjia's right eye and double pupil are the appearance of an emperor, which is very important to Li Hongji. A great threat.

At that time, Li Hongji had let Li Congjia hide for more than [-] years. At this time, Li Hongji was already very shrewd, and his martial arts were not bad.If Li Hongji planned to fight for imperial power at this time, even Li Jing couldn't keep Li Congjia. Although Li Congjia's martial arts were very high, many things could not be solved with martial arts.

"Big... big brother..."

"Don't worry, if it were me in the past, after knowing this, I am afraid that countless assassins will come to assassinate you the next day, even if they can't kill you, you will not be able to stay in Jinling. But now Eldest brother is different, we are blood brothers, whoever is the emperor is the same, even if I, Li Hongji, just become a prince, it doesn’t matter, as long as the Southern Tang Dynasty is not destroyed, and the throne is in the hands of my Li family, anyone can be the emperor. And the third brother Martial arts are superb, resourcefulness is outstanding, he is far inferior to you as a brother, but the situation is different now, the position of crown prince cannot be changed, please forgive me, third brother."

Li Congjia said: "Elder... elder brother, don't say that, younger brother doesn't have the slightest idea about the throne."

"No, no, Brother Wei thinks that if the third younger brother becomes emperor, he should be better than Brother Wei. But your personality is too weak. Even if you are very smart, but you can't communicate with others, you still can't sit still. This throne." Li Hongji said: "This situation is similar to the relationship between Sun Ce and Sun Quan in the Three Kingdoms. In terms of conquering the world, Sun Ce is a hundred times stronger than Sun Quan, but in terms of defending the country, Sun Quan is far superior to Sun Ce. So Sun Ce finally handed over the kingdom of Wu to Sun Quan. , and Wu was the last to perish among the Three Kingdoms. The situation of our two brothers is also the same. It is not as good as you to fight the world as a brother, but to defend the world as a brother is now smarter than you. Now that the enemy of the Southern Tang Dynasty is facing, the third brother still abides by the principle One day, when the Southern Tang fights against Shouzhou and counterattacks the Great Zhou, the third brother will definitely shine."

Well said, well said, Li Jing wanted to stand up and applaud his son...

In fact, Li Jing has already seen that it is the best choice for the eldest son to be the emperor in the Southern Tang Dynasty. He didn't say a word to please others, which is why the approval rate of the court is so low.

Now the situation of the two brothers is exactly the same as what Li Hongji said. Although the third brother is capable, it is no problem for him to lead troops to fight or rule the world.It's just that this kind of person can't be an emperor, because the more important thing for an emperor is to build relationships, and Li Congjia has no such ability at all.

Li Congjia was also surprised, he had never thought about this question before.He just thinks that his right eye has double pupil, it must be the order of the emperor.I only blame myself for being born too late, so I didn't have this opportunity.

Now Li Congjia has thought about the relationship between Sun Ce and Sun Quan carefully, and it is indeed like what the elder brother said, he is only suitable for fighting the world, not defending the world.Since the enemy of the Southern Tang Dynasty is now present, I have no reason to fight with my elder brother.

Li Congjia said: "What the elder brother said is true, the younger brother admires it very much. The younger brother has no intention of competing with the elder brother for the world, but just wants to assist with all his strength and protect the foundation of the ancestors."

"Little brother is much smarter than brother Wei, so there is no need to explain too much." Li Hongji said: "But brother Wei is very curious about one thing. Why did you pretend to be blind since you were young? Brother Wei didn't intend to do anything to you when you were young."

Li Congjia slowly tore off the white gauze, revealing his eyes.At this time Li Hongji understood completely, because he clearly saw the right eye of the third child Li Congjia with double pupil, which is definitely the appearance of an emperor.
