The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1173 Lucky Li Yu

"My lord, what I said just now is not right. By the way, why didn't you come with us, Young Master? Didn't you mean that he was going to Jinling with us?"

One of the two standing on the bow was Zhao Kuangyin and the other was Miao Xun. They were already on the way to Jinling, but Zhao Xu was not on the boat. Didn't Zhao Kuangyin say that Zhao Xu was going with them too?

"He, he took a step ahead. He should have gone to Jinling City now. He went to see the situation first. He probably disliked having no fun with me." Zhao Xu had already gone to Jinling before them, and at this time Already arrived in Jinling.

This is Zhao Xu's second visit to Jinling, but this time he is in a different mood. He is here for the country of Tang in the south of the Yangtze River. He also wants to meet that person, Li Yu, a person who has been passed down through the ages.

Zhao Xu thought of the description of Li Yu in later generations. Although he was not a literati at that time, he still knew Li Yu relatively well.

On the Qixi Festival in 930 A.D., in a palace in Jinling, a little life was born.This child happened to be born on Qiqiao Festival. Does the seventh day of the seventh month also become Qiqiao Festival among the people?
Everyone who was born at this time finds it very strange.No one would have imagined that this kid would leave his name in the history of China later on.

Anyone who is familiar with history knows that this child who was born on the Qiqiao Festival was accompanied by many coincidences throughout his life. Not long after he was born, his grandfather took the top spot in a dynasty and became the ruler of a dynasty. But 40 years later, he ruined the dynasty with his own hands in the position of emperor.

Three years later, another Qiqiao Festival three years later, he died inexplicably. The person who was born on Qiqiao Festival and died also on Qiqiao Festival was Li Yu.

This person is extremely famous in Chinese history. His occupation is an emperor. It is estimated that his ability to govern the country is average or even inferior to that of the emperors of all dynasties. This is not what he is famous for.

He is famous because of his lingering poems and his romantic love stories. He is very famous in the history of China, and the world calls him Empress Li.

"Jiang Zheng, you said that Li Yu's poetry is so good. If he is not the king of a country, he will probably become a poet like Li Bai and Du Fu."

Zhao Xu was accompanied by a monk wearing a suitable cassock. It turned out that the two of them were in the temple. This monk was Jiang Zheng, the abbot of Qixia Temple in Jinling.

"The poor monk doesn't know, but if he is just a literati, I think you will have even more headaches." Jiang Zheng didn't say much, but after saying this sentence, Zhao Xu smiled slightly after hearing it.

If Li Yu was not the king, I am afraid that there would be a more powerful monarch in Southern Tang, because his brothers are all people who are much more capable than him.

"This can be regarded as God's will to trick people, otherwise I really have a headache, Jiang Zheng will walk with me." Zhao Xu is not surprised that Li Yu became the king of the Southern Tang Dynasty. He knows Li Yu's experience, although he and There are discrepancies in the historical records, but they are almost the same.

He became the emperor by accident, first of all, he has double pupils in appearance.Modern medicine is called eye disease, but it was serious in ancient times.But all of the big guys are double pupils, the first one is Yu Shun, Xiang Yu is, and so is Li Yu.

This is what the ancients said is incredible, there are different phases in life.The second feature is parallel teeth, which is dental disease.In ancient times, there were three long parallel teeth, one was Emperor Ku, one of the Three Emperors.The second is that Confucius is a parallel tooth.The third is Li Yu, which means that Li Yu is different.

But Li Yu is the sixth prince, and he has several elder brothers above him. Why can't it be his turn to be the emperor, but history is such a coincidence. He became the emperor, which starts with Li Yu's father, Li Jing.

Li Yu's father is Li Jing, the eldest son of the family, his father became the emperor, he became the prince, but his father seems to dislike him a bit, but Li Jing's power has become, there is no other way, only he is the emperor up.

But his father's idea made Li Jing's younger brothers aware of it, so they were also unstable and wanted to seize power.

Li Jing is also a relatively smart emperor. After he succeeded to the throne, in order to alleviate the dissatisfaction of his younger brothers, he established a rule that brothers will end up with younger brothers. That is to say, after Li Jing's death, his younger brother will become the emperor, and his son will have no chance. .

In this way, Li Yu cannot become the emperor, but the emperor is his uncle, but this matter has changed again.

Li Jing's eldest son, Li Hongji, was very dissatisfied with this system. Although his father succeeded to the throne and established the emperor's younger brother Li Jingsui, he always wanted to kill his uncle, and the two often fought in the court.

Li Jingsui also knew that he was no match for his elder nephew, so he resigned as the emperor's younger brother, and wanted Li Jing to serve Li Hongji the throne.Li Hongji became the crown prince, but Li Jing thought that his son was too unkind and did not agree.

He advised Li Jingsui many times not to change the rules of brothers and sisters. At this time, Li Hongji did not correct his father's wish. He poisoned his uncle who threatened him. Now something happened. Killing his uncle is a serious crime. , so Li Hongji was put under house arrest soon, and died not long after. Now the actual eldest son is Li Yu.

Li Yu, who was the sixth eldest, had all five elder brothers dead.He has become the eldest son.The ministers objected to his being emperor, because he was really not made to be a king.

"Easy wantonness" and "virtue despise ambition" are not optimistic about him.After Li Congjia's five elder brothers died, the ministers all looked down on him and didn't want him to be in charge of the country.

But the emperor Li Jing learned his lesson and never dared to think about the position of the crown prince anymore. He only insisted on the eldest son, otherwise the brothers would kill each other. Therefore, in 960 AD, Li Jing made Li Congjia the crown prince despite the objections of his ministers. Prince.And soon, his father died of illness.The Li family has its own characteristics, and many people died of illness.Li Congjia ascended the throne smoothly and changed his name to Li Yu.

When Zhao Xu thought of this information in his heart, he also smiled. This Li Yu really got lucky, but the historical trend has changed a little at this time, so what Zhao Xu has to do is to read it as soon as possible. To end the national fortune of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it would be best if Li Yu could be kept. He didn't want to lose such a great poet in the history of China. If Li Yu surrendered, he would keep him rich all his life.

This Li Yu is really lucky, otherwise I can't be the emperor, can't I?
"Go to the largest restaurant in Jinling City. I want to see how the people here enjoy themselves. I heard that Jinling has a strong sound of extravagance. This restaurant should be the most obvious place." Zhao Xu wanted to let Jiang Zheng took him to the largest restaurant in Jinling to have a look.
