The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1172 Zhao Kuangyin Goes to Jiangnan
Everything Zhao Kuangyin did was to get Li Yu to come over. This is really not in line with his character. Zhao Kuangyin generally pays attention to the integrity of the name. Does this time want to put Li Yu in Bianjing?
"Your Majesty, I don't think Li Yu will come this time, because the last time you asked him to come to Bianjing for an audience, he didn't come. In most cases, he used his physical discomfort as an excuse, so this time I still guessed him. won't come."

Zhao Pu knew how many times Zhao Kuangyin invited Li Yu to Bianjing, but Li Yu never came. Zhao Kuangyin was also very annoyed at the time. This time Zhao Pu guessed that Li Yu would still not come.

"And your Majesty, please forgive me for being bold. Your Majesty, I feel that even if Li Yu comes to our Bianjing, we can't say that he is detained here, because this will arouse the resistance of the Southern Tang Dynasty. At that time, if we want to give the Southern Tang Dynasty It will be really difficult to take it back, will it not be worth the loss?"

"On the other hand, our current strength is enough to destroy Nantang. Why don't Wang Shi go south and directly destroy Nantang?" Zhao Pu asked tentatively.

Zhao Kuangyin was taken aback for a moment, he didn't know what to say, how to answer this question, because it was his secret.

"Zeping, you go down first, I'll think about it again, let me be quiet." Zhao Kuangyin waved Zhao Pu down, shutting himself in the study, wondering what he was thinking.

What's wrong with him recently, the figure of that woman always appears in his mind, graceful and charming, but his thinking is still stuck in ten years ago.

Still that figure, still my favorite woman, even though she has become a wife and mother at this time, I have never seen her again, or I have never been to Nantang again, so naturally Can't see her anymore.

Besides, if you see her, what are you going to say, and what else can you say to her? Both of you are people with status and status. If you meet in private, you must Will provoke some right and wrong.

It's okay to be a man, but she is a weak woman, who has a certain status and is respected there. If she does this, she will definitely have a certain negative impact. This is what he doesn't want to see, so he thinks It is also his ultimate goal to let Li Yu and his wife come to Bianjing to meet the suzerain state. It is also his wish to meet her by the way.

Presumably, I know who this woman is by now. He is now the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yu's wife Zhou Xian, also known as Zhou Ehuang.

It was also a woman that Zhao Kuangyin knew when he was a down-and-out young man, a strange woman, who loved Zhao Kuangyin deeply, just like Zhao Kuangyin still loves her deeply now.

But Zhao Kuangyin had nothing at that time, but Zhou Xian was the daughter of Zhou Zong, who was directly proposed by Li Jing to marry Li Congjia, who was still the sixth prince at that time, and thus separated from Zhao Kuangyin. Mandarin duck.

After that, Zhao Kuangyin returned to the north, and began to slowly rise from then on. Knowing that now he has become the emperor, and Zhou Ehuang has also become the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the two have never met since then, but Zhao Kuangyin always They are paying attention to Zhou Ehuang.

This is just a kind of caring, a kind of love does not necessarily need to be together and see each other happy. This is also an important reason why Zhao Kuangyin paid close attention to the news of Nantang.

"She is sick. Jiang Zheng wrote to say that she is sick. What is Li Yu doing to eat? How can she make her sick? Since Li Yu is not coming to Bianjing, I will go to Nantang to have a look."

Zhao Kuangyin held a letter in his hand. This letter was sent by a man named Jiang Zheng. Who was Jiang Zheng? He was the one who arranged to be a fake monk in the Southern Tang Dynasty. In fact, he was responsible for them. He sent the information, and also asked him to take care of his benefactor, Fan Ruoshui and his son.

In the previous stage, he received a report from Jiang Zheng. This week Ehuang was sick, and he was very worried, so he asked Li Yu to come to Bianjing. It just so happened that the Song Dynasty did not destroy the Kingdom of Shu. They came to celebrate. In fact, Zhao Kuangyin had his own plans. On the one hand, he wanted to see Zhou Ehuang, and on the other hand, he wanted to detain Li Yu and pacify Nantang.

This is what he thought. If the ruler of the Southern Tang Dynasty is controlled, then the Southern Tang Dynasty and the others should be cautious. At that time, the loss of the Great Song Dynasty was also small. This can be regarded as a strategy.

In fact, the most important reason is that he doesn't want to see Zhou Ehuang sad, and wants to use this method to take down the Jiangnan Tang Kingdom. This is the deep-seated reason. Zhao Kuangyin didn't tell anyone about this, not even Zhao Xu. explain.

"Come on, let the prince choose a group of elites from Suyiwei, let him accompany me to the south of the Yangtze River, and say that I will go to the south of the Yangtze River to see the terrain of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and I will do something to the Southern Tang Dynasty. Let the prince follow me to the Southern Tang Dynasty , let's do it."

Zhao Kuangyin said to the people around him, there is no one around him, at least in your opinion, there is no one around him, but Zhao Kuangyin arranged it like this, is he crazy?
However, Zhao Xu soon got the news that someone had come to convey the emperor's will, which made Zhao Xu, who is also a monk of Zhang Er, confused. What the hell is Zhao Kuangyin doing? How could he go to the Southern Tang Dynasty at this time? What do you want to do, but what Zhao Kuangyin said when someone came here, that is, he took Zhao Xuqie to see the terrain of the Southern Tang Dynasty. This is the real purpose of this time. Zhao Xu has nothing to say, the emperor said so Well, can you disagree?

But the emperor's departure from the capital is not a trivial matter. Many aspects have to be involved and many things have to be arranged, but Zhao Kuangyin is equivalent to leaving the capital secretly, so many things can be avoided. He just needs to arrange Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the major affairs in the court, so he took Zhao Xu and secretly started going south.

"Jiangnan is good, and the scenery has been familiar. At sunrise, the river flowers are red, and the river is as green as blue. Can you not remember Jiangnan? This poem expresses the beauty of Jiangnan. This is how many emperors and dynasties have been ruined in this Jiangnan land. , How many dynasties with their capitals in Jinling can last for a long time, and I see that the Tang Kingdom will submit to our feet in a short time."

"What your Majesty said is that the dynasty that established the capital of Jinling was a short-lived dynasty. Not to mention, Nanchen was destroyed by the Sui Dynasty after many years. Since ancient times, the same joy has been carried out from north to south. , I think this time is no exception."

"Mr. Miao, I said that you can just call me Master outside, don't reveal your identity."
