The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1892 Deal with Li Yu
"It's unreasonable. These people are becoming more and more lawless. They despise the majesty of my royal family. Who gave them the courage? They can't even control their own slaves. In my opinion, they are all instigated."

When Zhao Kuangyin knew what had happened, he became very angry. Song Dynasty always treated these monarchs who had surrendered with courtesy, but they seemed to be ungrateful and dared to do such evil.

"Father, I think this is an opportunity. At first, I wanted to teach that Zhu Laosan a lesson. Later, I thought about taking advantage of this opportunity. We can use this as an opportunity to beat them directly."

"You mean?" Zhao Kuangyin seemed to understand what Zhao Xu wanted to do.

"Yes, I just want to clean up these people. They don't have to do anything in my Song Dynasty. We raise them in Dasong. People like Li Yu are better. It's hard to say how many people are there. Otherwise, they will Maybe what will be done, this time it will be cured and Li Yu will be a dead ghost."

Those monarchs who surrendered are all high-ranking officials and generous salaries. They don't have to do anything else, and they still have privileges. This is what the court promised them at the beginning, and they cannot go back on their word.

This also caused them to be a little lawless. In fact, Li Yu is still good, but the other talents are unbearable!
"Okay, in view of Li Yu's lax control, the title of Li Yu's disobedient marquis was lowered to the founding uncle, and other people took it as a warning." Zhao Kuangyin punished Li Yu directly.

"Father, Li Yu's punishment is a bit heavier. Compared with other people, he is not bad. This time, he just hit the muzzle of the gun. I feel a little sorry for him."

Zhao Xu also felt embarrassed. Li Yu hit the gun. No one knew this and directly lowered his title, which made him suffer a bit.

"How about this, father, hasn't the history of the Southern Tang Dynasty been revised yet? Let him be responsible for the revision. If it is completed, we can give him an official title. If it is not good, then we have nothing to do."

……

Li Yu was very depressed when he received the imperial decree. He also knew that he would be punished, but he didn't expect to directly lower his title.

However, the person who announced the decree did not leave immediately, but invited Li Yu to enter the palace. It was the emperor who asked him to enter the palace with important things to do. Li Yu asked what it was, but the person who came did not know, and just asked Li Yu to leave quickly.

"Chen Li Yu pays homage to His Majesty, long live long live long live!"

"Pingshen, this place is not above the court, so let's see each other as old friends, let's do it."

The name Li Liu was only called by Zhao Kuangyin, not even Li Yu's parents. This is basically Zhao Kuangyin's patent.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Yu sat down according to his words.

"I remember that this was your favorite dish that day. Let's see if it suits your appetite. This is what I ordered the chef to make."

"Your Majesty is troubled, but some things are in the past, and they can never come back. Things are different."

Li Yu was not polite either, he dared to say anything, he knew that Zhao Kuangyin would not be angry no matter what he said, and the two had known each other for 20 years, and he knew Zhao Kuangyin's temper.

"Li Liu is now the only one who dares to talk to me like this, but I like it when you talk like this. After all, it is really difficult for me to hear the truth first."

"Your Majesty, this is also normal. Any emperor likes to hear flattery. Generally speaking, lies are pleasing to the ear. The truth generally makes you angry, so the officials below you like to say what you like to hear. "

Li Yu picked up the cup and said.

"Then why don't you choose to flatter me? Don't you think your current situation is very good? If I am happy, maybe you will give you grace, don't you?"

Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile.

"If I flatter you, my situation can be changed. You are not the big brother you were at the beginning. If I want to go back to Southern Tang and continue to be my king, will you agree?"

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Li Yu's two people without saying a word, just looked at each other like this, and then the two laughed, a bit inexplicable.

"Li Liu, this is the Li Liu I know. It's been a long time since I chatted with you like this. I really miss those days."

Although Zhao Kuangyin had no power back then, Zhao Kuangyin had a very happy life. Now that he has become the emperor, those days are really gone forever.

"Some things are in the past, and they will never come back. Now that you have ruled the world and ended this war, the people in the world will not praise your wisdom."

"Are you flattering me, but I still accept what you said. After all, it is the most satisfying thing in my life to be able to end the situation of fragmentation."

Zhao Kuangyin's greatest achievement is to end the war and achieve today's Great Song Dynasty. Today's Great Song Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty are not far behind. Although they are not as prestigious as the prosperous Tang Dynasty, they have definitely surpassed the prosperous Tang Dynasty in terms of territory.

Goryeo, Fusang, Yuehan, Dali, these places are now the territory of the Song Dynasty, and there are Luzon Island and many unknown islands overseas.

These are not available in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. In fact, the prestige is not as high as the evaluation of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It is a Tang Dynasty that has become the past tense, and the Song Dynasty is still in full swing. How can it be evaluated.

"Actually, I didn't expect that my eldest brother was just a wandering person back then, but in the end he came to rule the world. This is the fate of the world. All the forces in the world came into being just to accompany His Majesty. I didn't expect that we lived for people. Isn't that impossible? Are you laughing?"

Li Yu was telling the truth. The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms finally ended in the hands of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin opened an era. In any case, later generations will give Zhao Kuangyin a positive evaluation, which is enough to become an emperor through the ages.

Which of the monarchs of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms was not a foil, they were all to foil Zhao Kuangyin. Li Yu himself was also an emperor, and in the end he did not submit to Zhao Kuangyin's feet.

Becoming a stepping stone for Zhao Kuangyin to reach the peak, they can be said to live for Zhao Kuangyin to a certain extent.

"Well, there's no need to say any more. I still regard you as a brother. This time, I really mean to depose you as an earl. I hope to teach those people a lesson, but it's just a pain for you."

"It's because the ministers are not strict. In fact, if the emperors did what they did in the past, I, the king of subjugation, would have already been killed. Just because of this, I can be called a benevolent emperor."

"Okay, Li Liuzhen won't say anything else. Today I will give you a task to compile the national history of the Southern Tang Dynasty. This will also benefit you. When the book is completed, it will benefit you."
