Fu Tang
Chapter 65
"I want you to stop." Li Congjia's words attracted everyone's attention to him.
Zhao Kuangyin turned around and saw Li Congjia walking slowly, holding something in his hand, what did the expression on his face look like...Love and righteousness?
Zhao Kuangyin suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Li Congjia walked up to him and said softly: "The world makes people mess with people. I hit it off with the envoy, but we can't stand each other. After today, we will be on our own. I carved this piece of jade with my own hands. I will give it to the envoy recently. I only hope that there will be another day." I can have a drink with the envoy."
Li Congjia is holding a jade plaque in his hand, which is also carved with a dragon, and it is a five-clawed dragon.
Zhao Kuangyin stood there stunned, and seemed to have a little unclear meaning.
Seeing that he was silent, Li Congjia sighed, took Zhao Kuangyin's hand, put the jade tablet in his hand, took two steps back and cupped his hands and said, "Goodbye!"
Then he turned around and went back to his home, and at this moment Li Hongji's eyes were about to pop out: "Six...Liulang..."
The expression on Li Congjia's face was very cold, and he whispered, "I'll tell you later."
What else did Li Hongji say to himself?Everyone heard what you just said, okay?He looked at Zhao Kuangyin's expression, he couldn't see clearly from too far away, he only knew that after Li Congjia left, Zhao Kuangyin stood there for a long time before turning around and leaving, oh, the hand holding the jade card seemed to be quite strong of.
Li Hongji began to... a little worried.
At this time, Zhao Kuangyin's face was full of blackness, and when he returned to his own formation, no one dared to talk to him!
If there is anyone present who can understand Li Congjia's actions, it is only Zhao Kuangyin.
He really didn't expect that Li Congjia would do such a shameless thing in order to destroy him!What about your pretense?Did you agree to lose face even if you lost anything?
Zhao Kuangyin let go of his tightly clenched hands, and his face darkened even more when he saw the jade tablet.
The jade plate looks green and transparent, but it is not a good jade at all, and the carving is even worse. Zhao Kuangyin didn't believe that it was really carved by Li Congjia, and he didn't know which shabby jade shop Li Congjia got the props from. Come here to perform such an affectionate drama.
Zhao Kuangyin threw the jade pendant out on purpose, and after thinking for a long time, he put it back in his arms, and at the same time gritted his teeth and said, "Li Yu, you are doing well!"
At this time Li Congjia was explaining to Li Hongji: "I didn't want to do anything, I just wanted to plant a thorn in their relationship between the monarch and his ministers."
Li Hongji raised his eyebrows: "That's all right?"
Li Congjia smiled coldly: "Of course, Zhao Kuangyin has a high position and authority, and he came to me directly incognito. It's very strange, isn't it? Is he so easy to be arrested? But he fell into my trap." Of course, both he and I know that this is just a game between the two of us. He is sure that nothing will happen to him, so he dares to come, but Guo Rong may not know, Guo Rong will only see him let go. The frontline troops didn’t care, they took the risk to come to me.”
Li Hongji looked at Li Congjia in horror and said, "But...but you're hurting the enemy by one thousand and you're hurting eight hundred, Liulang."
Li Congjia said very rascally: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I don't plan to lead troops anymore, those people can say whatever they want."
Li Hongji looked at Li Congjia's broken appearance, but was also speechless, and persuaded: "Don't be self-willed, won't you hurt Dad's heart like this?"
Li Congjia said in his heart that you don’t know, I’m just out of tune with you, there’s no way to save this decadent country, unless Li Jing changes his gender one day, of course, this is basically impossible, so... whoever cares, let’s care , anyway, he doesn't plan to care about it.
As Li Hongji said, after Li Congjia came back, he faced a lot of impeachments. Li Congjia's response to this was... no response, just stay behind closed doors. Anyway, Li Jing also punished him before, so what else does he care about?Whatever you like to say, I don't care about anything anyway.
The emperor's younger brother Li Jingsui was ready to face Li Congjia's counterattack, and they all stared at the Yue Palace, and then... there was no more.
This made them feel as if they were punching cotton, making them powerless. Li Jingsui saw that attacking Li Congjia would not get better benefits, and it was said that Li Congjia drank and had fun every day, and he didn't care about government affairs at all. The sage reprimanded him several times, but he refused to change.
Even Han Xizai couldn't stand Li Congjia's state, and together with Song Qiqiu came to the door in person, trying to dissuade him from thinking about Datang.
Li Congjia thought that I had already thought about Datang enough, so I brought people back, otherwise he would have taken people to the Western Regions to find a place to come down honestly, develop and grow little by little, and then kill the carbine again. OK?Do you have to fight to the death with you?
But this sentence cannot be said, his thinking is actually tantamount to treason.
While Li Congjia calmly listened to Han Xizai and Song Qiqiu's persuasive advice to him not to fall, he estimated the tea consumption of these two people and felt that what should be said was about the same, so he said: "I know what you two said. , now it’s just to paralyze some people, I did do some inappropriate things because of impulse before, and I just took advantage of the restraint to calm down.”
Han Xizai and Song Qiqiu seemed to make sense, but they always felt that Li Congjia's movements and eyes showed a kind of indifference.
Li Congjia's acting skills are not enough in front of these old foxes, and he was also a little annoyed by the reading, thought for a while and said: "You two have been in the court for these years, do you know that the emperor's younger brother has committed any crimes?"
Song Qiqiu showed vigilance: "What is Your Highness going to do?"
Li Congjia smiled softly and said: "If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that the emperor's brother will attack my elder brother next. My elder brother is now on the front line, fighting against Zhou Guo. How can I tell myself? No Let me take care of his worries first."
Han Xizai frowned and asked, "Your Highness... I'm afraid..."
"I know it's not good to do this, but now the Tang Dynasty can't afford it anymore. The emperor's younger brother has great ambitions and talents, and he only cares about the power in his own hands. The Tang Dynasty is now in a precarious situation. If the limited energy of the important officials in the court is involved in the party struggle, I'm afraid It is going to surrender directly to Zhou Guo."
Song Qiqiu sighed: "The sage did hand over the letter of surrender to Emperor Zhou, but it's a pity..."
Li Congjia paused, oh, I almost forgot about it, so I had to say again: "They don't agree, we can only fight them to the end, and the rectification by the court is imperative."
Song Qiqiu and Han Xizai looked at each other, as if they had made up their minds, they agreed with Li Congjia, turned around and went home to sort out Li Jingsui's scandal.
Li Congjia knew that even if he didn't make a move, Li Jingsui would be abolished sooner or later, but waiting like this was very boring, but even if he participated in Li Jingsui, he still needed to find a suitable time.
This suitable timing was provided by Chen Jue.
Although Li Congjia was deprived of military power, Li Ping and Zhu Yuan were not affected in any way, and they were also very disturbed at this time.
After Zhu Yuan took Hezhou, he didn't dare to move again. He didn't know what kind of person his new boss was, and would he indulge them like Li Congjia did.
Li Congjia originally thought that history would return to the right track, and he would send Li Jingda to lead Li Ping and Zhu Yuan. Now he only hoped that Li Jingda would be more polite to Zhu Yuan, but he never expected that the one who was sent this time was actually Chen Jue!
When Li Congjia heard the news, the teacup in his hand dropped.
He was really convinced, and he didn't know what ecstasy soup Chen Jue poured into Li Jing!
Such a captive will be sent to the battlefield, even if he is sent to the battlefield, and an outsider leads an insider, is Li Jing afraid that Zhu Yuan will not rebel?
Li Congjia only felt that his anger was going straight to Tianling Gai, and he wanted to go directly to the palace to question Li Jing without changing his clothes.
It was Liu Yi who stopped him. Liu Yi had never seen Li Congjia so angry, and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, you are still being grounded now, Your Majesty."
Li Congjia turned his head and glared at him. After seeing Liu Yi's aggrieved look, he immediately calmed down, turned his head and went back to change the wet clothes. So I still get angry, it's all because I still have expectations for this country.
Now that he has calmed down, he feels that such unrealistic expectations can be thrown away. He alone cannot change the fate of a country. He can only take care of himself. Well, maybe he can take care of a few more.
Just as Li Congjia expected, Chen Jue was not capable, but he was very jealous. After he passed, he wanted to transfer Zhu Yuan, and wanted him to lead another battalion, and only give him the people of the first battalion, let him go Hit Luzhou!
In the military system of the Five Dynasties, five battalions were the army, and each battalion had about 500 people. That is to say, Chen Jue asked Zhu Ping to lead 500 people to fight Luzhou.
This is a blatant murder!
Zhu Yuan felt that he had meritorious service, so he directly impeached Chen Jue, and Chen Jue's reason was very strong: because Zhu Yuan was a surrendered general, he should not be given too much military power!
When Li Congjia knew about it, he had a smile on his face, the smile was very cold, and Liu Yi was trembling when he saw it, for fear that his king couldn't resist going out and killing people!
Chen Jue, this is really courting death.
"New Book of Tang Bing Zhi" once specifically commented that the Five Dynasties period was a typical "soldiers who are arrogant will chase after the commander, and the commander who is strong will rebel", the military system is extremely chaotic, and people's hearts are also very impetuous.
Originally, if you didn't persecute people, they might betray you, so you still want to kill people?
Li Congjia is waiting now, and after Zhu Yuan rebels, he will take Chen Jue's knife!
This day did not come slowly, soon the news came that Zhu Yuan had betrayed the Southern Tang with his soldiers, and at the same time there was news that Zhou Ehuang and Li Zhongyu disappeared together!
It is said that Zhu Yuan led his troops straight to Chizhou, and after entering Chizhou, he kidnapped all the people in the Yuewang mansion who were packing up and going back to Jiangning mansion!
After hearing this, Li Congjia was at a loss. He wondered why Zhu Yuan was so tempted to abduct his old boss's wife and children before treason.What's the idea?
But soon he realized that Zhu Yuan... probably got hooked up with Shi Xueting.
Otherwise, he would not take the risk to return to Chizhou. In this way, Li Congjia felt relieved. He had been thinking about how to bring Zhou Ehuang and Li Zhongyu with him if he ran away—or not, otherwise. It will definitely hurt them.
It's just... Zhou Jiamin and Wu Wulang were also taken away.
Li Congjia was a little worried again, seeing Zhou Zong's appearance that had aged a lot overnight, he didn't know whether he should tell Zhou Zong.
After thinking about it, he endured it again. Now is the right time for him to make a move. If he told Zhou Zong, it would be bad for others to judge something based on Zhou Zong's strange behavior.
So Li Congjia could only cruelly pretend that he hadn't seen it, and started writing notes.
Li Congjia originally wanted to cut his wings little by little starting from the low-level officials, but now he is fine, Chen Jue has thrown such a big handle into his hands, he is really sorry for not cleaning up Chen Jue.
And Chen Jue has always been the backbone of the emperor's younger brother's party.
Li Congjia's excerpts were written so that those who heard it were sad and those who saw it shed tears. At the beginning, they just accused Chen Jue of being unworthy to be a general, and recounted all the glorious deeds of Chen Jue over the years. stuff.
After this book was uploaded, the eyes of people around Li Congjia changed, but Li Congjia was no longer the gentle King of Yue before.
Eyebrows are cold, and the breath of the whole body has become much colder, and it seems that there is nothing more sad than heart-dead.
But when he thought about it, his wife and children were taken away, it might be a disaster, and everyone felt a little sympathetic to him.
Under this kind of sympathy, Chen Jue was recalled to Jiangning Mansion, but Li Jing did not arrest him, but allowed him to defend himself.
Chen Jue naturally expressed pitifully that he did not expect Zhu Yuan to be so insane, and this also proved that what he said before was true, Zhu Yuan was born rebellious!
Li Congjia knew that Chen Jue would say that, so he prepared a counterattack, but there was an episode in the middle. When Li Congjia's concierge opened the door early in the morning, he saw a lacquer box outside, and took it in to report to Chang Shi. Liu Yi.
After Liu Yi opened the lacquer box and took a look, his expression changed. It was full of black material about Chen Jue's persecution of Li Ping and Zhu Yuan!
Li Congjia didn't know who sent it to him, but knowing so much about these things, it must be someone close to Zhu Yuan, and at this time Zhu Yuan had disappeared without a trace with his people.
After thinking about it, Li Congjia felt that Shi Xueting might have done it.
He touched the pendant on his chest, smiled slightly, and wrote a new notebook.
After this excerpt was uploaded, a bloody drama was directly opened. From the beginning, Li Congjia was almost reduced to a bystander. Going up, sharks seemed to smell blood one by one.
Political struggles are always bloody and cruel. No matter how much psychological preparation he had made before, Li Congjia still felt a little uncomfortable, so he simply used the excuse of being sad and started to stay behind closed doors.
During this period, Zhou Zong came secretly once, and the two of them didn't explain too clearly, but from Li Congjia's attitude, Zhou Zong knew that his son and daughter were not in danger, so he was relieved, turned his head and started to pinch Chen Jue together.
The advantage that Li Jingsui had built up before is disintegrating little by little. All his subordinates were either killed or demoted. In the end, Li Jingsui also saw that there was nothing he could do. No longer be the emperor's younger brother.
Li Congjia couldn't help sneering when he found out, what did he do so early?Still want to retreat safely?
However, I don't know if Li Jing didn't want to be too ugly, or he wanted to keep Li Jingsui in that seat, and wait for more charges to appear before punishing him severely. Anyway, Li Jing appeased Li Jingsui and gave him a pile of money. Silver jewelry, let him not worry.
Might not actually be a concern?There are almost no generals who support Li Jingsui, if not for this, he may not have to push Chen Jue.
Now that these civil servants have been killed one by one and replaced with new ones, how could Li Jingsui not be afraid?He was so scared he couldn't sleep!
So Li Jingsui began to write letters frequently, requesting to return to the feudal clan, but he is the emperor's younger brother, not the feudal king, so where is there a fief for him to return to the feudal clan?
Li Jingsui probably knew this too, so he simply implied that no matter what the title is, he doesn't choose the fiefdom!
Yes, how can I choose?If you choose again, you will die!
I don't know whether it was Li Jingsui who really moved Li Jing, or whether his people had been cleaned up and he was the only one left. With the voices from the government and the public getting louder and louder, Li Jing finally agreed to Li Jingsui's request and went to The title of his emperor's younger brother was changed to the king of Jin, and he was given the title of Admiral Tiance, Marshal Ma of the Jiangnan Xidao Army, Governor of Hongzhou, Taiwei, and Shangshuling.
However, the matter of returning to the feudal clan was not mentioned.
The East Palace has no owner, so there will be people who will miss it, but now among Li Jing's sons who are competitive for this seat, one is Li Hongji and the other is Li Congjia.
If it is Li Congjia in history, then Li Hongji can be said to have no competitors, and none of his younger brothers can fight. In addition, Li Hongji is still the eldest son, this is almost a matter that does not need to be considered.
However, Li Jing didn't make up his mind immediately, he was hesitating.
All of a sudden, there was a turmoil in the court, and in this dark and turbulent situation, the 15th year of Baoda came to an end.
The New Year was celebrated in Jiangning Mansion, Li Jing and Queen Zhong felt sorry for the lonely six sons, and wanted him to come to the palace to celebrate the New Year, but was rejected by Li Congjia.
On New Year's Eve, after attending the New Year's banquet in the palace, Li Congjia walked back slowly in the carriage alone.
In fact, the Yue Palace is not so deserted, after all, there are still many servants, but everyone knows that the life and death of the princess and the son are uncertain, so they dare not make too much trouble.
After Li Congjia returned home, he said to Liu Yi: "Today is your holiday, I don't need you to serve me here, go play."
Liu Yi looked at the deserted landlord's courtyard, with a sad expression on his face: "Your Majesty..."
Li Congjia waved his hand: "Go. Leave me alone."
Liu Yi left with a sigh, he thought that Li Congjia would be very sad, but Li Congjia just didn't want to pretend to be sad at this time.
It is true that he is lonely. The last Chinese New Year was still in Jiangning Mansion. Although it was very dangerous at that time and he had to find ways to keep his identity from being exposed every day, but I have to say that that Chinese New Year was also very special.
Not only because he won the Jiangning Mansion, but also because he had friends by his side.
Before the Chinese New Year, Li Congjia sent Yang Xin and Yun Niang away. The two of them were not important people, and they left without a sound. I don't know if they found Shi Xueting.
Li Congjia leaned on the fume cage and thought about all these things. For a while, he only felt that Jiangdu Mansion was boring. He figured that after Li Hongji became the crown prince, the attention of the court would gradually decrease. He can find a time to leave without anyone noticing.
But after leaving, everyone in his palace would probably be implicated, and this was the reason for his hesitation.
It is impossible to take everyone away. Many of these officials in his mansion actually have official positions in the court. Coming to him to work is equivalent to using the palace as a springboard, or a part-time job. What's more, most of these people are with their families. , They really want to follow, there will definitely be a lot of noise at that time, no no no, this is not allowed.
Li Congjia was playing with the pendant on his chest while thinking about these questions, when he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard someone outside the window say: "Do you like it very much?"
Li Congjia was startled, and really jumped up. After jumping up, he ran to open the window, and saw a handsome monk in thin clothes standing outside.
Li Congjia rubbed his eyes, and then stammered for a long time: "Xue... Xueting?"
Shi Xueting smiled softly in his eyes: "Well, it's me."
Li Congjia took a deep breath, and then felt that his internal organs were completely cold, and said quickly: "Come in, don't you think it's cold to stand outside?"
Although his mouth was so disgusted, there was a smile on the corners of his brows and eyes, which was in stark contrast to the unlovely look just now.
Shi Xueting didn't take a detour, and jumped in directly from the window.
Li Congjia only felt that he was about to die, because in his opinion, Shi Xueting did it with such a rude gesture.
"Come here to enjoy the fire, why are you here? What if..." Li Congjia originally wanted to ask what if someone found out and caught him?But thinking about it, no one knows that he handed over that army to Shi Xueting, so this worry is unnecessary.
Li Congjia changed the question: "Is Zhu Yuan with you?"
Shi Xueting nodded: "We haven't gone far. After knowing what happened to Zhu Yuan, we went to contact him and asked him to pick up the princess and the prince."
Li Congjia breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while and said, "It's cold now, and it's not suitable to go out. Let's wait for the weather to warm up."
Shi Xueting asked: "Where is your lord? When will your lord leave?"
Li Congjia took a deep breath: "Wait for the new prince to ascend the throne."
Shi Xueting didn't say anything else, but carefully took out a lacquer box from his bosom, with a bit of distress on his face: "It seems...it's still cold."
Li Congjia asked curiously, "What is it?"
Shi Xueting opened it and said, "Dumplings." Ever since Li Congjia and Yanyue-shaped wontons called dumplings, they also followed suit.
"It's okay, you can eat it when it's cold, and it's not very cold." Li Congjia took the lacquer box. Because the lacquer box has a limited area, there are actually only a dozen dumplings inside, probably because it's not easy to carry.
Li Congjia just looked at Shi Xueting like this, as if he was eating a meal, and finished the dumplings one bite at a time. After eating, he asked casually: "Who made it? It tastes good."
There was a slight smile on Shi Xueting's face: "Me."
Li Congjia was a little stunned. For a moment, he felt warm from his heart to his limbs, as if he was soaking in warm water, so happy.
After Shi Xueting put away the lacquer box, the two of them leaned against the smoked cage and drank warm wine while talking, most of which revolved around the topic of where to go after leaving the customs and how to survive.
In the end, Li Congjia didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up again, he found himself lying on the bed in obscene clothes. After thinking about it for a long time, he came to the conclusion that Shi Xueting sent him to bed again. .
Because of this incident, Li Congjia was in a good mood when he woke up, but soon his good mood was destroyed.
It was Shi Xueting's masters and brothers who came to do the sabotage.
Zhao Kuangyin turned around and saw Li Congjia walking slowly, holding something in his hand, what did the expression on his face look like...Love and righteousness?
Zhao Kuangyin suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Li Congjia walked up to him and said softly: "The world makes people mess with people. I hit it off with the envoy, but we can't stand each other. After today, we will be on our own. I carved this piece of jade with my own hands. I will give it to the envoy recently. I only hope that there will be another day." I can have a drink with the envoy."
Li Congjia is holding a jade plaque in his hand, which is also carved with a dragon, and it is a five-clawed dragon.
Zhao Kuangyin stood there stunned, and seemed to have a little unclear meaning.
Seeing that he was silent, Li Congjia sighed, took Zhao Kuangyin's hand, put the jade tablet in his hand, took two steps back and cupped his hands and said, "Goodbye!"
Then he turned around and went back to his home, and at this moment Li Hongji's eyes were about to pop out: "Six...Liulang..."
The expression on Li Congjia's face was very cold, and he whispered, "I'll tell you later."
What else did Li Hongji say to himself?Everyone heard what you just said, okay?He looked at Zhao Kuangyin's expression, he couldn't see clearly from too far away, he only knew that after Li Congjia left, Zhao Kuangyin stood there for a long time before turning around and leaving, oh, the hand holding the jade card seemed to be quite strong of.
Li Hongji began to... a little worried.
At this time, Zhao Kuangyin's face was full of blackness, and when he returned to his own formation, no one dared to talk to him!
If there is anyone present who can understand Li Congjia's actions, it is only Zhao Kuangyin.
He really didn't expect that Li Congjia would do such a shameless thing in order to destroy him!What about your pretense?Did you agree to lose face even if you lost anything?
Zhao Kuangyin let go of his tightly clenched hands, and his face darkened even more when he saw the jade tablet.
The jade plate looks green and transparent, but it is not a good jade at all, and the carving is even worse. Zhao Kuangyin didn't believe that it was really carved by Li Congjia, and he didn't know which shabby jade shop Li Congjia got the props from. Come here to perform such an affectionate drama.
Zhao Kuangyin threw the jade pendant out on purpose, and after thinking for a long time, he put it back in his arms, and at the same time gritted his teeth and said, "Li Yu, you are doing well!"
At this time Li Congjia was explaining to Li Hongji: "I didn't want to do anything, I just wanted to plant a thorn in their relationship between the monarch and his ministers."
Li Hongji raised his eyebrows: "That's all right?"
Li Congjia smiled coldly: "Of course, Zhao Kuangyin has a high position and authority, and he came to me directly incognito. It's very strange, isn't it? Is he so easy to be arrested? But he fell into my trap." Of course, both he and I know that this is just a game between the two of us. He is sure that nothing will happen to him, so he dares to come, but Guo Rong may not know, Guo Rong will only see him let go. The frontline troops didn’t care, they took the risk to come to me.”
Li Hongji looked at Li Congjia in horror and said, "But...but you're hurting the enemy by one thousand and you're hurting eight hundred, Liulang."
Li Congjia said very rascally: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I don't plan to lead troops anymore, those people can say whatever they want."
Li Hongji looked at Li Congjia's broken appearance, but was also speechless, and persuaded: "Don't be self-willed, won't you hurt Dad's heart like this?"
Li Congjia said in his heart that you don’t know, I’m just out of tune with you, there’s no way to save this decadent country, unless Li Jing changes his gender one day, of course, this is basically impossible, so... whoever cares, let’s care , anyway, he doesn't plan to care about it.
As Li Hongji said, after Li Congjia came back, he faced a lot of impeachments. Li Congjia's response to this was... no response, just stay behind closed doors. Anyway, Li Jing also punished him before, so what else does he care about?Whatever you like to say, I don't care about anything anyway.
The emperor's younger brother Li Jingsui was ready to face Li Congjia's counterattack, and they all stared at the Yue Palace, and then... there was no more.
This made them feel as if they were punching cotton, making them powerless. Li Jingsui saw that attacking Li Congjia would not get better benefits, and it was said that Li Congjia drank and had fun every day, and he didn't care about government affairs at all. The sage reprimanded him several times, but he refused to change.
Even Han Xizai couldn't stand Li Congjia's state, and together with Song Qiqiu came to the door in person, trying to dissuade him from thinking about Datang.
Li Congjia thought that I had already thought about Datang enough, so I brought people back, otherwise he would have taken people to the Western Regions to find a place to come down honestly, develop and grow little by little, and then kill the carbine again. OK?Do you have to fight to the death with you?
But this sentence cannot be said, his thinking is actually tantamount to treason.
While Li Congjia calmly listened to Han Xizai and Song Qiqiu's persuasive advice to him not to fall, he estimated the tea consumption of these two people and felt that what should be said was about the same, so he said: "I know what you two said. , now it’s just to paralyze some people, I did do some inappropriate things because of impulse before, and I just took advantage of the restraint to calm down.”

Han Xizai frowned and asked, "Your Highness... I'm afraid..."
"I know it's not good to do this, but now the Tang Dynasty can't afford it anymore. The emperor's younger brother has great ambitions and talents, and he only cares about the power in his own hands. The Tang Dynasty is now in a precarious situation. If the limited energy of the important officials in the court is involved in the party struggle, I'm afraid It is going to surrender directly to Zhou Guo."
Song Qiqiu sighed: "The sage did hand over the letter of surrender to Emperor Zhou, but it's a pity..."
Li Congjia paused, oh, I almost forgot about it, so I had to say again: "They don't agree, we can only fight them to the end, and the rectification by the court is imperative."
Song Qiqiu and Han Xizai looked at each other, as if they had made up their minds, they agreed with Li Congjia, turned around and went home to sort out Li Jingsui's scandal.
Li Congjia knew that even if he didn't make a move, Li Jingsui would be abolished sooner or later, but waiting like this was very boring, but even if he participated in Li Jingsui, he still needed to find a suitable time.
This suitable timing was provided by Chen Jue.
Although Li Congjia was deprived of military power, Li Ping and Zhu Yuan were not affected in any way, and they were also very disturbed at this time.

Zhu Yuan felt that he had meritorious service, so he directly impeached Chen Jue, and Chen Jue's reason was very strong: because Zhu Yuan was a surrendered general, he should not be given too much military power!
When Li Congjia knew about it, he had a smile on his face, the smile was very cold, and Liu Yi was trembling when he saw it, for fear that his king couldn't resist going out and killing people!
Chen Jue, this is really courting death.
"New Book of Tang Bing Zhi" once specifically commented that the Five Dynasties period was a typical "soldiers who are arrogant will chase after the commander, and the commander who is strong will rebel", the military system is extremely chaotic, and people's hearts are also very impetuous.
Originally, if you didn't persecute people, they might betray you, so you still want to kill people?
Li Congjia is waiting now, and after Zhu Yuan rebels, he will take Chen Jue's knife!
This day did not come slowly, soon the news came that Zhu Yuan had betrayed the Southern Tang with his soldiers, and at the same time there was news that Zhou Ehuang and Li Zhongyu disappeared together!
It is said that Zhu Yuan led his troops straight to Chizhou, and after entering Chizhou, he kidnapped all the people in the Yuewang mansion who were packing up and going back to Jiangning mansion!
After hearing this, Li Congjia was at a loss. He wondered why Zhu Yuan was so tempted to abduct his old boss's wife and children before treason.What's the idea?
But soon he realized that Zhu Yuan... probably got hooked up with Shi Xueting.
Otherwise, he would not take the risk to return to Chizhou. In this way, Li Congjia felt relieved. He had been thinking about how to bring Zhou Ehuang and Li Zhongyu with him if he ran away—or not, otherwise. It will definitely hurt them.
It's just... Zhou Jiamin and Wu Wulang were also taken away.
Li Congjia was a little worried again, seeing Zhou Zong's appearance that had aged a lot overnight, he didn't know whether he should tell Zhou Zong.
After thinking about it, he endured it again. Now is the right time for him to make a move. If he told Zhou Zong, it would be bad for others to judge something based on Zhou Zong's strange behavior.
So Li Congjia could only cruelly pretend that he hadn't seen it, and started writing notes.
Li Congjia originally wanted to cut his wings little by little starting from the low-level officials, but now he is fine, Chen Jue has thrown such a big handle into his hands, he is really sorry for not cleaning up Chen Jue.
And Chen Jue has always been the backbone of the emperor's younger brother's party.
Li Congjia's excerpts were written so that those who heard it were sad and those who saw it shed tears. At the beginning, they just accused Chen Jue of being unworthy to be a general, and recounted all the glorious deeds of Chen Jue over the years. stuff.
After this book was uploaded, the eyes of people around Li Congjia changed, but Li Congjia was no longer the gentle King of Yue before.
Eyebrows are cold, and the breath of the whole body has become much colder, and it seems that there is nothing more sad than heart-dead.
But when he thought about it, his wife and children were taken away, it might be a disaster, and everyone felt a little sympathetic to him.
Under this kind of sympathy, Chen Jue was recalled to Jiangning Mansion, but Li Jing did not arrest him, but allowed him to defend himself.
Chen Jue naturally expressed pitifully that he did not expect Zhu Yuan to be so insane, and this also proved that what he said before was true, Zhu Yuan was born rebellious!
Li Congjia knew that Chen Jue would say that, so he prepared a counterattack, but there was an episode in the middle. When Li Congjia's concierge opened the door early in the morning, he saw a lacquer box outside, and took it in to report to Chang Shi. Liu Yi.
After Liu Yi opened the lacquer box and took a look, his expression changed. It was full of black material about Chen Jue's persecution of Li Ping and Zhu Yuan!
Li Congjia didn't know who sent it to him, but knowing so much about these things, it must be someone close to Zhu Yuan, and at this time Zhu Yuan had disappeared without a trace with his people.
After thinking about it, Li Congjia felt that Shi Xueting might have done it.
He touched the pendant on his chest, smiled slightly, and wrote a new notebook.
After this excerpt was uploaded, a bloody drama was directly opened. From the beginning, Li Congjia was almost reduced to a bystander. Going up, sharks seemed to smell blood one by one.
Political struggles are always bloody and cruel. No matter how much psychological preparation he had made before, Li Congjia still felt a little uncomfortable, so he simply used the excuse of being sad and started to stay behind closed doors.
During this period, Zhou Zong came secretly once, and the two of them didn't explain too clearly, but from Li Congjia's attitude, Zhou Zong knew that his son and daughter were not in danger, so he was relieved, turned his head and started to pinch Chen Jue together.
The advantage that Li Jingsui had built up before is disintegrating little by little. All his subordinates were either killed or demoted. In the end, Li Jingsui also saw that there was nothing he could do. No longer be the emperor's younger brother.
Li Congjia couldn't help sneering when he found out, what did he do so early?Still want to retreat safely?
However, I don't know if Li Jing didn't want to be too ugly, or he wanted to keep Li Jingsui in that seat, and wait for more charges to appear before punishing him severely. Anyway, Li Jing appeased Li Jingsui and gave him a pile of money. Silver jewelry, let him not worry.
Might not actually be a concern?There are almost no generals who support Li Jingsui, if not for this, he may not have to push Chen Jue.
Now that these civil servants have been killed one by one and replaced with new ones, how could Li Jingsui not be afraid?He was so scared he couldn't sleep!
So Li Jingsui began to write letters frequently, requesting to return to the feudal clan, but he is the emperor's younger brother, not the feudal king, so where is there a fief for him to return to the feudal clan?
Li Jingsui probably knew this too, so he simply implied that no matter what the title is, he doesn't choose the fiefdom!
Yes, how can I choose?If you choose again, you will die!
I don't know whether it was Li Jingsui who really moved Li Jing, or whether his people had been cleaned up and he was the only one left. With the voices from the government and the public getting louder and louder, Li Jing finally agreed to Li Jingsui's request and went to The title of his emperor's younger brother was changed to the king of Jin, and he was given the title of Admiral Tiance, Marshal Ma of the Jiangnan Xidao Army, Governor of Hongzhou, Taiwei, and Shangshuling.
However, the matter of returning to the feudal clan was not mentioned.
The East Palace has no owner, so there will be people who will miss it, but now among Li Jing's sons who are competitive for this seat, one is Li Hongji and the other is Li Congjia.
If it is Li Congjia in history, then Li Hongji can be said to have no competitors, and none of his younger brothers can fight. In addition, Li Hongji is still the eldest son, this is almost a matter that does not need to be considered.
However, Li Jing didn't make up his mind immediately, he was hesitating.
All of a sudden, there was a turmoil in the court, and in this dark and turbulent situation, the 15th year of Baoda came to an end.
The New Year was celebrated in Jiangning Mansion, Li Jing and Queen Zhong felt sorry for the lonely six sons, and wanted him to come to the palace to celebrate the New Year, but was rejected by Li Congjia.
On New Year's Eve, after attending the New Year's banquet in the palace, Li Congjia walked back slowly in the carriage alone.
In fact, the Yue Palace is not so deserted, after all, there are still many servants, but everyone knows that the life and death of the princess and the son are uncertain, so they dare not make too much trouble.
After Li Congjia returned home, he said to Liu Yi: "Today is your holiday, I don't need you to serve me here, go play."
Liu Yi looked at the deserted landlord's courtyard, with a sad expression on his face: "Your Majesty..."
Li Congjia waved his hand: "Go. Leave me alone."
Liu Yi left with a sigh, he thought that Li Congjia would be very sad, but Li Congjia just didn't want to pretend to be sad at this time.
It is true that he is lonely. The last Chinese New Year was still in Jiangning Mansion. Although it was very dangerous at that time and he had to find ways to keep his identity from being exposed every day, but I have to say that that Chinese New Year was also very special.
Not only because he won the Jiangning Mansion, but also because he had friends by his side.
Before the Chinese New Year, Li Congjia sent Yang Xin and Yun Niang away. The two of them were not important people, and they left without a sound. I don't know if they found Shi Xueting.
Li Congjia leaned on the fume cage and thought about all these things. For a while, he only felt that Jiangdu Mansion was boring. He figured that after Li Hongji became the crown prince, the attention of the court would gradually decrease. He can find a time to leave without anyone noticing.
But after leaving, everyone in his palace would probably be implicated, and this was the reason for his hesitation.
It is impossible to take everyone away. Many of these officials in his mansion actually have official positions in the court. Coming to him to work is equivalent to using the palace as a springboard, or a part-time job. What's more, most of these people are with their families. , They really want to follow, there will definitely be a lot of noise at that time, no no no, this is not allowed.
Li Congjia was playing with the pendant on his chest while thinking about these questions, when he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard someone outside the window say: "Do you like it very much?"
Li Congjia was startled, and really jumped up. After jumping up, he ran to open the window, and saw a handsome monk in thin clothes standing outside.
Li Congjia rubbed his eyes, and then stammered for a long time: "Xue... Xueting?"
Shi Xueting smiled softly in his eyes: "Well, it's me."
Li Congjia took a deep breath, and then felt that his internal organs were completely cold, and said quickly: "Come in, don't you think it's cold to stand outside?"
Although his mouth was so disgusted, there was a smile on the corners of his brows and eyes, which was in stark contrast to the unlovely look just now.
Shi Xueting didn't take a detour, and jumped in directly from the window.
Li Congjia only felt that he was about to die, because in his opinion, Shi Xueting did it with such a rude gesture.
"Come here to enjoy the fire, why are you here? What if..." Li Congjia originally wanted to ask what if someone found out and caught him?But thinking about it, no one knows that he handed over that army to Shi Xueting, so this worry is unnecessary.
Li Congjia changed the question: "Is Zhu Yuan with you?"
Shi Xueting nodded: "We haven't gone far. After knowing what happened to Zhu Yuan, we went to contact him and asked him to pick up the princess and the prince."
Li Congjia breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while and said, "It's cold now, and it's not suitable to go out. Let's wait for the weather to warm up."
Shi Xueting asked: "Where is your lord? When will your lord leave?"
Li Congjia took a deep breath: "Wait for the new prince to ascend the throne."
Shi Xueting didn't say anything else, but carefully took out a lacquer box from his bosom, with a bit of distress on his face: "It seems...it's still cold."
Li Congjia asked curiously, "What is it?"
Shi Xueting opened it and said, "Dumplings." Ever since Li Congjia and Yanyue-shaped wontons called dumplings, they also followed suit.
"It's okay, you can eat it when it's cold, and it's not very cold." Li Congjia took the lacquer box. Because the lacquer box has a limited area, there are actually only a dozen dumplings inside, probably because it's not easy to carry.
Li Congjia just looked at Shi Xueting like this, as if he was eating a meal, and finished the dumplings one bite at a time. After eating, he asked casually: "Who made it? It tastes good."
There was a slight smile on Shi Xueting's face: "Me."
Li Congjia was a little stunned. For a moment, he felt warm from his heart to his limbs, as if he was soaking in warm water, so happy.
After Shi Xueting put away the lacquer box, the two of them leaned against the smoked cage and drank warm wine while talking, most of which revolved around the topic of where to go after leaving the customs and how to survive.
In the end, Li Congjia didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up again, he found himself lying on the bed in obscene clothes. After thinking about it for a long time, he came to the conclusion that Shi Xueting sent him to bed again. .
Because of this incident, Li Congjia was in a good mood when he woke up, but soon his good mood was destroyed.
It was Shi Xueting's masters and brothers who came to do the sabotage.
