The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1188

"Sir, it's not the first time I've come to Jinling, and there haven't been many changes here. It's already a place where things and people are not everything."

"My lord, people are subject to change. Only when people change can this era continue to change. When it gets hot, what I'm talking about is that those changes are not changes in people's hearts and kindness, but changes in some of the external manifestations of people." Now, it has developed in the direction of its ideal.”

These two people are Zhao Kuangyin and Miao Xun who rushed to Jinling. They are the only two of them. As for how many people are around Zhao Kuangyin, I don’t know, but I can see a man who looks like a wealthy businessman with the appearance of a housekeeper. people walking on the streets of Jinling.

"Yes, when I was a poor boy, I came to Jinling and wanted to find a way out. At that time, my idea was very simple, that is, to be able to fight on the battlefield, to become a general who is the enemy of thousands of people, and to be able to appreciate my country. effective."

Times create heroes, and troubled times are times when talents come forth in large numbers. Like the Three Kingdoms era, counselors and generals came out in large numbers, which became a splendid era. Zhao Kuangyin came to Southern Tang from Kaifeng in the Later Han Dynasty, hoping to meet a wise master and appreciate him.

He also thinks that he is a general suitable for fighting in the battlefield, but there is no one in the surrounding countries that he likes, so he left home and went south to try his luck, and his destination was Jiangnan Tang.

Although Li Jing was in power in the Jiangnan Tang State, it didn't mean that the government was well-organized and the people were harmonious. At this time, the Tang State continued to expand its territory and became the largest country in the south. It was still considered stable. He just wanted to join the Tang State.

The first person he saw on the road was Li Yu, or the Southern Tang person he knew was Li Yu. At that time, Li Yu was not called Li Yu, but Li Congjia.

Of course, Li Congjia at that time was not a prince, but a county prince with only a young eunuch by his side. At that time, he was also angry with his elder brother Li Hongji, so he ran out alone and came towards Jiangbei.

Li Congjia grew up in the palace, where he knew the dangers of the world. As a disciple of the royal family, he went out secretly and brought a lot of money. People with little social experience don't understand the rules of not revealing money. Doomed to tragedy.

It just so happened that the shop where they stayed overnight was a black shop. You have so much money and no one around you, so of course you are going to try to trick me. If there is no accident, he will be murdered for money.

Just at this time, Zhao Kuangyin, who is like a knight-errant, appeared. Zhao Kuangyin, who was a bit of a chivalrous man, would of course intervene when he saw such a thing, and saved Li Congjia's life.

Li Congjia saw that Zhao Kuangyin was good at skills, and he also heard Zhao Kuangyin's plan. He decided to take Zhao Kuangyin back to Jinling. Although Li Congjia didn't like to manage the affairs of the court, he would still recommend talents for the country.

As soon as Zhao Kuangyin heard that this young man could recommend him, let's go with him. Zhao Kuangyin and Li Congjia stayed together along the way. Zhao Kuangyin was older than Li Congjia. Li Congjia called him his elder brother, while Zhao Kuangyin called him Li Liu .

Li Congjia called himself Li Liu, and Zhao Kuangyin didn't know his real identity. The three of them went directly south along the way. If the story was going to develop like this, Zhao Kuangyin might really become the marshal of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"Hehe, back then I was still thinking about finding an errand in the Tang Kingdom, and I came to Jinling with Li Liu, but in the end I still didn't go with him. It's really a pity to say it."

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin also recalled what happened back then. If he followed Li Yu to Jinling and was recommended by Li Congjia, what would happen to the situation today.

"It's also fortunate that you didn't come here, sir, otherwise you wouldn't be able to come here today, or you wouldn't have stood on the streets of Jinling in this way forever."

If Zhao Kuangyin got to Jinling according to his own way, then all history would be rewritten, and it is not clear what the current state of Tang looks like.

Come to you Southern Tang, Zhao Kuangyin also came to Southern Tang, he came by himself, he killed several corrupt officials on the way and was rejected by Li Congjia, Li Congjia was unwilling to take him with him.

Li Yu didn't take it with him, which didn't prevent Zhao Kuangyin from coming to Nantang alone. He came to Nantang alone, so he had fulfilled his own wish and came to Jinling, the capital.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin was relatively innocent. He thought he had talent, so he came directly to the gate of the palace, saying that he wanted someone to inform the emperor that he hoped to be an official in the Southern Tang Dynasty and benefit the country.

This is too naive, who will believe you, you can get used to it if you say you are an official, this is all nonsense, whoever informs you will be kicked out directly.

The money that Zhao Kuangyin brought with him has already been spent, so he can only be hungry at this time. At this time, he saw a mansion holding a banquet, and Zhao Kuangyin wanted to fill his stomach first. He hadn't eaten for several days. Managed so much.

This mansion was Zhou Mansion, Zhao Kuangyin entered to eat and drink, this was the first time in his life, but many of them were invited in and got his own seat.

Because this Zhou Mansion is Zhou Zong's mansion, and Zhou Zong is entertaining guests. When Zhou Zong's daughter was in danger in Chuzhou, she was rescued by Zhao Kuangyin. At that time, she told Zhao Kuangyin that her home was in Jinling. This family, Zhao Kuangyin is also very embarrassed.

It was also at that time that he fell in love with Zhou Xian, and it was also doomed that Zhao Kuangyin's Jiangnan dream was shattered. Not long after, Zhou Xian married Li Liu, and Zhao Kuangyin knew that Li Liu was actually the prince. The love was shattered like this, and Zhao Kuangyin then left Nantang, cast himself under Guo Wei's account, and started his life's glorious journey.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and walked quickly. Miao Xun didn't know what happened, but he still walked quickly.

"Master, what's the matter, do you know this inn? Why do you stand here and keep looking at it?" Miao Xun saw Zhao Kuangyin looking at an inn all the time.

"Sir, you don't know. I was taken in by a boss here when I didn't have to worry about it. I didn't charge me a penny. I said that I will report it later. The first thing I did when I came to Jinling today was to come here. To fulfill the promise of the year, I have never told anyone about these things, it was because I was not capable at the time, and now I am back."

Zhao Kuangyin still has a benefactor, who is also the owner of an inn. Those who have helped Zhao Kuangyin may not have imagined that Zhao Kuangyin would have such achievements in the future. They did not take Zhao Kuangyin's promise seriously.

After all, who would have thought that such a down-and-out person could become the most honorable person in the world, and there would be many thank-you gifts behind them. They also never expected that Zhao Kuangyin would come to thank him.
