Fu Tang

Li Hongji said, "I didn't expect you to come."

Li Congjia stared at him immediately, "Brother, how do you make me answer this question?"

Fortunately, Li Hongji didn't seem to expect him to say anything, and continued, "Did daddy tell you about regaining the lost land?"

Li Congjia was taken aback by his bluntness, paused before saying, "I said it."

Li Hongji stared at him with a pair of bright black eyes and asked, "What did Dad say?"

Li Congjia got used to such a straightforward way of talking, sat down unceremoniously and said, "Father is worried about you."

Li Hongji frowned, and a look of disgust flashed across his face: "We can't hand over the soldiers to those people."

Li Congjia knew that what Li Hongji was talking about was the group of "generals" who could only recite poems and fight against each other. If Li Jing didn't trust them too much, the Huainan navy in the Southern Tang Dynasty would not have been left behind as soon as they met each other. got there.

"I reminded Dad." Li Congjia played with the jade wrench in his hand and said: "The choice of the leader of the army is too small now, and most of them are friends with the emperor's younger brother. Tell Dad quickly."

Li Hongji raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Congjia: "What did you tell Father? The generals who can be used in the court are really Li Jingsui's people?"

Li Congjia chuckled: "That's what I told Father, but I don't know the details, after all, no one dares to spy on the emperor's heir, right?"

Li Hongji was a little stunned: "You don't know?" You dare to say if you don't know?

Li Congjia spread his hands: "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, these people will definitely have contact with the emperor's younger brother."

How is it possible not to contact?Everyone has to go to court, okay?When they met, they had to be greeted by the emperor's younger brother, and banquets were popular in the Southern Tang Dynasty. The important officials of the court had gathered at banquets, and the emperor's younger brother was no exception. It was normal to want to contact them.

Of course, these may not constitute evidence, but this matter does not need any evidence, as long as Li Jing doubts, that is enough.

Li Hongji also figured it out, sat down and said with a light smile, "Liu Lang has a good method."

Li Congjia waved his hand: "I'm just following what my father said, but... if brother is to lead the army, can brother have any countermeasures?"

Li Hongji laughed: "You haven't focused on this before, even if I tell you, I'm afraid you may not understand it."

Li Congjia looked at him speechlessly, brother, you like to tell the truth so much, how did you grow up safely in the royal family?

Perhaps Li Hongji also realized that what he said was too direct, so he put it another way: "And the battlefield changes rapidly, so you have to be flexible. If you are not good at these, don't worry about it."

Li Congjia wanted to hit someone very much after hearing this, brother, can you chat?I'm almost talking to death with you, you know?

Li Hongji also felt that the more he said, the more shameful he was, so he simply shut up, and just looked at Li Congjia with those bright black eyes.

Li Congjia had no choice but to say: "Brother, if you can lead the army, there is one person you must pay attention to."

Li Hongji asked, "Who?"

"Zhao Kuangyin!"

Li Hongji nodded and said, "This man is indeed a powerful general other than Zhou Guo, but he is far behind Guo Rong."

However, Guo Rong will die in two years, and Zhao Kuangyin will have a mutiny at Chen Qiao and ascend the throne as the emperor. It will be too late to kill him by then!

Li Congjia had countless reasons for killing Zhao Kuangyin in his heart, but he couldn't say any of them, so he could only say: "Although Guo Rong is strong, he still has to deal with the government affairs. There were only a few generals in the state of Zhou before. Be careful and guard against it.”

Li Hongji said solemnly: "I know it well."

Li Congjia looked outside and said, "It's not too long since we've been out. Brother, go back first, and I'll come later."

Li Hongji nodded and stood up, but when he walked to the door, he suddenly said: "My brother has been ill for a while, but the whole person is much more transparent."

Li Congjia sighed: "I have been ill for a while, so why not our Datang?"

Li Hongji didn't say anything more. Li Congjia looked at his back with a thoughtful expression on his face. From what he said just now, he knew that Li Hongji looked taciturn and spoke straightforwardly, but his thoughts were delicate. There are many, but Li Congjia's reminder may not be necessary.

When he went back, the expression on Li Congjia's face was always serious, causing Zhou Ehuang to look at him several times, unable to figure out what Li Congjia was thinking, which made Zhou Ehuang feel a little uneasy.

In fact, Li Congjia was thinking about a question at this time - how to kill Zhao Kuangyin.

Although he reminded Li Hongji just now, Li Congjia was not too hopeful.

Li Hongji may regard Zhao Kuangyin as an enemy, but he may not have the determination to kill him.

It still needs a long-term plan. Li Congjia calculated the resources at hand and found that if he wanted to kill Zhao Kuangyin, it would not be much easier than ascending to the sky.

See who Zheng Wang had been with before?Reciting poems and composing first-class opponents, leading soldiers to fight with idiots.

Now Li Congjia really wanted to go back and hug Li Hongji's thigh, and let Li Hongji take him and pretend to fly him.

But just thinking about it, Li Hongji's ability is his business, and if he wants to do things by himself, he can't rely on others.

Li Congjia analyzed it for several days and found that this matter is also difficult, and it feels more difficult than starting from scratch!

And at this moment, Li Congjia received the news that the Baijia Army... had revolted.

This news was almost sent together with Li Jingsui's invitation. Li Congjia took a look at Li Jingsui's post and invited everyone to eat, drink and have fun.The one who didn't go was the other courtyard. Given Li Jingsui's ten guts, he probably wouldn't dare to hold a big banquet in the East Palace.

Since Li Jingsui dared to invite, Li Congjia dared to go, and he also wanted to know who Li Jingsui had invited.

After arriving there, Li Congjia looked around and found that he was the only prince here. He was a little surprised for a moment, wondering if Li Jingsui didn't invite other princes, or he was the only one?

As for the other officials, Li Congjia glanced at them and found that there were none of the real heavyweights. Most of them were civil servants who were lucky in poetry. They were not very powerful in the court, but they all had a pivotal position among the scribes.

After the banquet started, after drinking for three rounds, Li Jingsui suddenly said with emotion: "Zhou Jun has no way, and forced my people here!"

Li Congjia paused, a little surprised, he was still talking about poetry and songs just now, why did he turn his head to this topic?Your Royal Highness, the change is a bit blunt, you know that?

Li Jingsui also had no choice. He wanted to talk about political affairs all the time, but he hinted that the old fritters would not answer him for a long time. He really had no choice but to cut straight to the point. Li Jingsui was also very bitter.

As soon as the emperor's brother said this, the hall was quiet for a moment, and after a while, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes said loudly: "Your Highness is talking about the Baijia Army?"

Li Congjia glanced at the young man, and thought about it for a while, the young man's name is Han Pei, he is not a high-ranking official, he is just a school secretary, but he has a very good father——Han Xizai.

Han Pei appeared at Li Jingsui's banquet, which made Han Xizai's attitude somewhat ambiguous. Han Pei is his second son, so the meaning it represents is not that important. Let Han Pei come, it can be said that he and Li Jingsui have reached some Intention, retreat can also be said to be the son's own initiative.

In fact, most of the people who came to Li Jingsui's banquet were like this. They were not that important, but they also had some right to speak.

Everyone didn't want to stand in line, and they didn't want to offend the emperor's younger brother. This choice was just right.

As for Li Congjia himself, he was famously aloof from political affairs, so people would not think too much about him when they saw him.

When Han Pei opened his mouth, Li Jingsui heaved a sigh of relief, at least someone talked to him, right?

Li Jingsui had a compassionate look on his face: "No matter what, those are always my sons and daughters."

Feng Lilang Dai Zhou asked: "In this case, why didn't you send Wang Shi to recover the lost ground and recruit the White Armored Army?"

After Li Congjia heard this, he almost spit out the wine he drank in his mouth from his nose.

Solicit?If you want to recruit, you have to be willing!

After all, when the Zhou army attacked the Tang Dynasty, the rebels who were still ordinary people welcomed the Zhou army very much. After the Zhou army occupied it, they even served the Zhou army with fine wine and food.

But strictly speaking, it was the Southern Tang who exploited too much there. Those people thought that life should be easier when the Zhou army came, but they didn't expect that the Zhou army would burn, kill and loot. Weaving paper is armor, so they call themselves the White Armor Army.

Fortunately, there are still discerning people present, Han Pei said loudly: "I heard that these White Armored Army had flattered the Zhou army before, and they are traitors to my Tang Dynasty. Why is it necessary to recruit such people?"

Li Congjia played with the wine glass and watched a group of people express their opinions. Basically, they were divided into two groups. One group thought that the White Jia Army was rebellious and not worth recruiting. Even if they surrendered, these people were naturally rebellious and might rebel.

The other faction felt that these people were forced to helpless people, and if they could live in peace, these people would not revolt in anger.

Seeing that the discussions on both sides became more and more lively, Li Jingsui, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly said loudly: "How to deal with the Baijia army, the lord of the court has his own public opinion. fine!"

Li Congjia glanced at Li Jingsui, a little confused about what he was going to do, leading everyone to discuss the matter of the Baijia Army, did he want to see something wrong from it?

But when the master speaks, no matter how unwilling those people are, they can only press down on the topic, and prepare to find time to argue about Chou Yinmao again.

Although this topic was not mentioned, those people's desire to win was aroused, and a common event at banquets finally appeared-drinking orders!

Drinking orders usually appear at banquets, but they never expected that Li Jingsui and the others would play tricks.

He slapped his hands directly, and a little lady walked out from behind the screen.

Li Congjia took a look, there were about twenty of these young ladies, and they didn't look very old, only about fifteen or sixteen, each of them was graceful and beautiful, standing in the hall prettyly, every look in their eyes was very ambiguous .

Li Congjia took a glance and knew that this was probably a beauty trained by some romantic places, and it was only for the high-ranking officials and nobles to enjoy.

Li Congjia was tired of it. He knew that this kind of thing was very common in this era, and it could even be said to be an elegant thing. commit a sin.

In fact, more sinful things are yet to come.

After the group of young ladies stood still, a row of young gentlemen came out, and each of those young gentlemen also had good looks, and their age... looked younger than those young ladies, about eleven or twelve years old.

A bunch of beasts in costumes!

When Li Congjia was suppressing his anger, Li Jingsui took care of him: "Liulang, is there any beauty you like?"
