Li Jing was obviously a little surprised: "Liu Lang thinks so too?"

Li Congjia thought about it and said: "Now is the best time, but... after taking it back, Guo Rong will definitely not sit idly by, and if he wins it back, he must hold on to it."

Li Jing sighed: "That's why I hesitated who to send."

Li Congjia thought of Li Hongji and Li Jingsui who had just left, and instantly understood why they were here.

Li Hongji definitely wants to take the initiative to invite Ying, but Li Jingsui naturally has no way to go, even if he wants to go to Li Jing, he can't let him go, but he has been the emperor's younger brother for so many years, and his subordinates must have won over some generals. Taking on a big responsibility...it's really hard to say.

Li Congjia didn't speak, because Li Jing was just worrying and didn't ask, so he couldn't speak even if he felt inclined.

Fortunately, Li Jing didn't let him hold back for too long, but just asked, "What do you think Liu Lang?"

Li Congjia said frankly: "My son thinks it is most appropriate to let brother go."

Li Jing was a little surprised. In the past, Li Congjia seldom expressed his views on such matters, and generally followed the crowd. What happened today?

Although Li Jing was surprised, he still said, "Tell me about it."

Li Congjia said earnestly: "Before Zhou and Wuyue sent troops at the same time, our Huaihe defense line was completely defeated, and only Runzhou and Changzhou were defended, and these two places were precisely guarded by brother. My child thinks that brother may have inherited grandfather and father. His talent will not be inferior to Guo Rong in time."

Li Jing smiled slightly: "It seems that you have thought about it seriously."

Li Congjia sighed: "The loss of Yangzhou is the shame of the Tang Dynasty. Even though my son is ignorant and incompetent, he deeply hates himself for not being able to show his power on the battlefield and defend our country."

Li Jing shook his head: "Don't be too harsh on yourself."

Li Congjia heaved a sigh of relief. He just gave Li Jing a hint that his recent anomalies are all due to the defeat of his country. As a prince, he can only watch helplessly.

Thinking about it this way, he felt that the time for him to travel was just right.

Li Jing considered Li Congjia's words, and then hesitated: "Da Lang, it's still too young."

Li Congjia complained in his heart, Li Hongji is in his twenties anyway, still young?However, as a father, it is normal for Li Jing not to want his son to go to the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Li Congjia said: "Young generals have been seen throughout the ages. Su Dingfang, the general under Emperor Gaozu's command, followed his father to fight in the north and south at the age of 15. Brother's talent is inherited from his father's grandfather, so naturally he will not be inferior to him."

When Li Congjia said this, he seemed to want to say something, but he didn't continue. Li Jing was very comfortable being flattered by his son, but he didn't miss Li Congjia's hesitant expression. Perhaps, Li Congjia just picked one Li Jing could feel the expression.

Li Jing waved his sleeves and said, "Say what you want to say directly. What's wrong with daddy? Don't hesitate."

Li Congjia then said with a look of embarrassment: "Actually, my son recommended my brother because... because... I heard recently that the emperor's younger brother frequently contacts the generals of the army..."

Li Congjia didn't continue to speak, but his meaning had already been expressed.

Li Jing's face darkened after hearing this, Li Congjia did not lie, Li Jingsui had indeed gotten close to some generals recently, and he knew more than his son, Li Jingsui had been close to those people for not a year or two.

Emperors have been suspicious since ancient times, and this suspicion will become very scary when facing a capable prince.

Now there are three remaining brothers of Li Jing, one is Emperor Taidi Li Jingsui, one is Qi Wang Li Jingda, and the other is Jiang Wang Li Jingxuan.

Here King Jiang is basically just a display, nothing to worry about, Li Jingda... the last time he fought with Zhou Guo, Li Jing sent him to lead a large army, but he was beaten until he was almost powerless to fight back, and the main force of the Huainan navy was wiped out. Now that Li Jing didn't punish him, it was already an excuse.

But strictly speaking, although Li Jingda was the marching officer at that time, he didn't have much real power in his hands.

It can be seen from this that Li Jing is on guard against his brothers.

Li Jing suddenly understood why Li Congjia recommended Li Hongji, it was better to give military power to his son than to his younger brother.

What's more, Li Jing may have really thought about brotherhood back then, but now he wants to give the throne to his son even more. Seeing Li Jing lost in thought, Li Congjia bowed and bowed and left the Palace of Qinzheng.

When Li Congjia left the palace, he looked back at the city gate. The palace city of the Southern Tang Dynasty was much smaller than the ruins of the Daming Palace he had seen before.

It's a pity that he didn't travel to that prosperous Tang Dynasty.

After Li Congjia returned to the palace, he went directly to Zhou Ehuang.

After meeting, he looked directly at Zhou Ehuang and said, "Let's talk."

Zhou Ehuang looked at him with guarded eyes, but still handed his son to Ah Qing who was beside him, tidied his hair, and sat down opposite Li Congjia.

Ah Qing glanced at Li Congjia in horror, and left here with the child in her arms.

Zhou Ehuang straightened his back, tried to make himself appear more powerful, and his expression became indifferent, but he was holding Sipa so hard that his hands turned white, showing that the girl was not at peace at this moment.

"What do you want to say?" Zhou Ehuang's voice was cold.

Li Congjia looked at her as if facing a formidable enemy, touched his face, and couldn't help asking: "You don't have to be afraid of this, right? If I really want to do something, it won't help."

Zhou Ehuang looked at him bitterly: "If you didn't do anything, where did those people go?"

Li Congjia chuckled and said, "Prince Zheng's Mansion only needs one master."

After Zhou Ehuang heard about it, he looked at him in horror. She is the rightful mistress of Prince Zheng's mansion, and her son is the next King Zheng. This substitute said so, could it be...

Li Congjia didn't try to guess Zhou Ehuang's thoughts, and said straight to the point: "Don't worry, your lives and your son's lives will not be threatened in any way. Princess Zheng is only you, and Prince Zheng's son will only be Dalang."

Zhou Ehuang didn't believe Li Congjia's assurance, so she didn't speak, but just stared at him coldly.

Li Congjia expressed his own thoughts, and he didn't care what Zhou Ehuang thought. Anyway, he had pulled out the other party's minions, so what kind of waves could there be?

Facts have proved that Li Congjia still underestimated the women of this era.

The author has something to say: According to historical records, the name Chai Rong was used by Emperor Shizong of the later Zhou Dynasty, but Chai Rong was the adopted son of Guo Wei, and Guo Wei passed the throne to him. Chai Rong should inherit as a son, not a nephew, so at this time Chai Rong is most likely also known as Guo Rong.
