The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 634
"My lord, the Great Song Dynasty has unified the Jinghu area, which means that they are now directly bordering our Tang country. If they want to be more direct, they can attack our Tang country whenever they want."

Han Xizai is now in charge of the household department of the Tang State. Although he has his own faction, they all care about the Tang State very much and want to serve the country.On weekdays, he fights with other parties and they have different opinions. Now that the country is in trouble, he will abandon his personal prejudices and think about serving the country.

"That's why the lord of the country suggested that the navy must be on guard against the Song army, and we can respond as quickly as possible if there is a disturbance."

Han Xizai suggested that the kingdom of the Southern Tang Dynasty should be on guard against the Song army, because now that the Song Dynasty has completely taken the Jinghu area into its pocket.

There is nothing terrible in the past, after all, there are two small forces in the middle, Wuping and Nanping.

The Great Song Dynasty has now advanced its own territory for several hundreds of miles, and it is already bordering on the Southern Tang Dynasty. How can we keep everyone from guarding against it?

"Master Han, if we let Da Song know about our actions at this time, will they take the opportunity to attack us? This just gives them an excuse. Now that they have just won Jinghu, their morale is high. Will it waiting for us to do so?"

The person who spoke was Feng Yansi, the prime minister of Jiangnan Tang, because they said that Sun Sheng was dead, and now he is the prime minister.

With him are his younger brothers Feng Yanlu, Lang Chenjue, Zha Wenhui, and Wei Cen, who formed the Five Ghosts of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Controlling this certain government, the government has been made a mess by them, but Li Jing trusts them very much, so many people have nothing to do with them.

"Master Feng, according to what you said, we just wait for the Great Song Dynasty to destroy the country. There is no need for an army. You forgot a sentence, that is, if you forget the battle, you will be in danger."

Han Xizai was not afraid of Feng Yansi at all, or he didn't like him at all. Originally, Han Xizai had the talent of a prime minister, but he was not appointed as a prime minister. How sad it is!

In this regard, he is not as good as his friend Li Gu back then, when Li Gu and Han Xizai met in Zhengyang.

At that time, Han Xizai was on the run, and he wanted to go to the state of Wu, which was the predecessor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but Li Gu wanted to go to the Central Plains.

It is said that when Han Xizai and Li Gu parted ways in Zhengyang, the two toasted and drank, and it was a joy to drink.

But Han Xizai, who was full of wine and pride, said to Li Gu:

"This time, if I go to the state of Wu, and if Wu uses me as prime minister, I will definitely drive to the Central Plains."

Han Xizai's words mean that he has the ability to assist a country, and he is a prime minister.

And Li Gu replied with a smile, if the Central Plains uses me as a prime minister, I will take Wu as a bag.

Both of them are talented in governing the country. After so many years, Han Xizai still has not been able to become the prime minister, while Li Gu is under the banner of Zhou Shizong, and helped the lord Hou Zhou to win the Jiangbei land in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The chances of the two are not the same at all. Although Li Gu has passed away, he has already proved his strength.

However, Han Xizai still dedicated himself to the Southern Tang as always, and he would not feel any dissatisfaction at all because the lord of the country did not reuse him.

"Master Han, I didn't say that. Don't label things indiscriminately, okay? We are discussing this. You are always like this. How will you let everyone speak in the future?"

Feng Yansi and him were at odds with each other, but now they wanted to drive Han Xizai out, which was also the thing he wanted to do the most.

"Okay, don't talk about it. Since it's Chaoyi, everyone can express their opinions. Everyone is for the good of the court. Whether it's right or not, I like to hear it."

Li Jing immediately stopped them from quarreling. According to normal history, Li Jing should have passed away last year, but now he is still alive and well, but it seems that his health is not very good.

"From Jia, let me tell you what to do. Don't ask them what they are doing. You just need to express your own ideas."

Li Jing looked at Li Congjia who was the first one on his left. Now Li Congjia is the king of Wu, and according to the convention, he is the prince.

Just after Li Jing finished speaking, a young man stood up, but he was more than eight feet tall, with a handsome appearance, mixed with a bookish anger.

"Yes, father, my son thinks what Master Han and Master Feng said are reasonable, and these two masters are very considerate."

This Li Congjia is not offended by either side, he just said that both sides are reasonable, he is really a good man!

"However, I believe that we still need to increase the defense of the northern border. We must prevent the Song Dynasty from attacking suddenly, and at the same time, we must not take the initiative to provoke the Song Dynasty to give Song an excuse. This is the most important thing."

Li Congjia still hoped to be on guard against Da Song from the bottom of his heart, but what he said was very tactful and did not make Feng Yansi look bad.

"Cong Jia's suggestion is good, do you have anything else to say?" Li Jing was quite satisfied with this son.

"What His Majesty King Wu said is very true, and I agree with it." Han Xizai would then say, this suggestion is basically similar to yours, do you still have any dissatisfaction?

"My minister, Feng Yansi, also agrees. King Wu's intelligence and wisdom are really a blessing to our Tang Kingdom. Congratulations to the lord."

Feng Yansi really deserves to be a master of flattery, he is not shy at all.Really shameless!

"Okay, let's listen to what Congjia said. Since Congjia's ministers agreed to defend the Song Dynasty, do you have any other ideas? How about a defensive method?"

It would be fine if Li Jing could compose poems and lyrics, but if he was allowed to govern the country, I'm afraid there would be a little shortcoming.

"Father, emperor and son-in-law thought that we should focus on the navy, because we have the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and the Song army can't get through from the land. The only way is to come from the river, so we must control it well. Jiang Nian."

Who said that Li Congjia is incompetent, isn't what he said very good, who dares to say that what he said is not good, isn't this nonsense?
"But our current navy has no extra troops, because now the domestic navy has its own tasks, so there is not enough manpower!"

In Southern Tang Dynasty, there were no wars at ordinary times, and the army was not maintained much, so Li Jing had such concerns.

"Father, the son of the emperor, has already thought about it. We can organize and train a new army. This will not only let the Song Dynasty know that we are prepared, but at the same time make my Tang Dynasty have an extra navy. This is not the best way to achieve the best of both worlds." ?"

Gao, Li Congjia's idea is really good. He directly trains new sailors, so that Da Song can know that he is starting to guard against you attacking Tang, and he can also add an army to himself.

It was indeed a good idea for Li Congjia to think of such an idea, and everyone nodded in agreement.But this matter was soon known by Da Song.
