The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 640 Saved the Emperor
"Old man, what you said is a bit too much. The Tang Kingdom also has a lot of territory. How could it be destroyed by others?"

Zhao Xu sat down. There were only the two of them in the room, and the others were outside. The two girls outside were playing with Fan Ruoshui.

A child of thirteen or fourteen has only played in the river on weekdays, how could he have spent so much time here.

"Ruoshui, what else do you want, my sister will buy it for you tomorrow, okay?" Zhao Mengru likes Fan Ruoshui very much, and has an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

"Thank you sister, but if Ruoshui doesn't want anything, I hope my sister can buy me a pen so that I can write."

They thought that Fan Ruoshui would ask for something unusual, but this little Ruoshui asked for a writing brush, which was beyond their expectation.

"Oh, don't you have this thing at home, then how do you usually write?"

Zhao Mengru asked, this is the time when ordinary families have the Four Treasures of the Study, even poor families have some.

"I don't have any at home. My usual money is used to buy medicine for my father. If I write, I practice on the ground."

Usually they have some money for Fan Xijiang's medical treatment, so how can they buy these things, so he doesn't have a pen of his own at all.

But then Zhao Xu gave him a pen, which he carried with him all his life, even when he finally died, he kept it by his side.

"The territory of the Tang Kingdom seems to be quite large, but if the monarch does not know how to govern, sooner or later it will be invaded by other countries."

"Ahem, it's like the fourteen prefectures in Jiangbei were cut off all at once a few years ago, but look at what the court of the Southern Tang Dynasty is doing. They don't know the shame at all, but live better than anyone else. comfortable."

Fan Xijiang seemed to hate iron and steel and asked, he hated this kind of behavior very much, but he couldn't change anything by himself, so he hated this thing very much.

"Old man, don't get excited. It may be that the monarch of the Tang Kingdom is trying his best to rule the country. Didn't the King of Yue Gou Jian try his best to try his best? Maybe he is doing the same."

Zhao Xu also knew who Li Jing was, so he said this just to keep Fan Xijiang from getting excited.

"I don't know who Li Jing is. This is a person who is trying to gain fame. Why do I not want to be an official, but only a fisherman? It's because this Li Jing is so incompetent."

At the beginning, Li Jing also wanted to revitalize the Southern Tang Dynasty, and once issued an edict to allow officials at all levels to submit letters. Everyone felt that the Southern Tang Dynasty was hopeful, so they all actively offered advice and suggestions.

However, this matter was quickly destroyed by Li Jing himself. After 3 minutes of enthusiasm, he threw all these memorials aside.

Fan Xijiang was still a county magistrate at that time, but he had a high political vision, and he was full of enthusiasm for serving the country at that time. Looking at the Southern Tang Dynasty, he could reproduce the great events of the Great Tang Dynasty.

But at this moment, he heard that Li Jing didn't read the letters written by the courtiers because he was too busy.

As a small official, he didn't have many chances to see the emperor, but he resolutely knelt and begged to see the emperor.

I finally saw Li Jing, but I was completely disappointed. Li Jing actually asked him to comment on his poems.Nothing about politics.

Fan Xijiang thought that if you don't mention it, I'll just say it myself, so he asked directly, and Li Jing replied yes, I've been too busy recently, so I haven't had time to read it yet.

Oh, it's too busy, busy reciting poems and composing Fu here, isn't it, Fan Xijiang still has hope in him, but Li Jing said that these important national affairs are not something that a small county magistrate should intervene in.

Fan Xijiang is also stubborn, you don't let me ask, I don't bother to ask, what are you, you resigned in a fit of anger.

At the same time, he still thought that one day the emperor would change his mind, but he forgot that he was just a small county magistrate, how could the emperor have the time to remember you.

Later Zhou went to dozens of states in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Fan Xijiang wrote to the emperor again, but this time it didn't reach the emperor's hands, saying that the emperor was busy now.

In the end, Southern Tang ceded and ceded the fourteen states in Jiangbei. Since then, he has been really discouraged and has been fishing by the river for a living.

When he first met Zhao Kuangyin, he still wanted Zhao Kuangyin to work for Nantang. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin had such an idea. Now, he would definitely not think so.

"Old man, although I don't care about world affairs, I can assure you that the Tang Kingdom will be wiped out by Jiangbei's country in the end. I heard that Jiangbei has changed another emperor, called Da Song. The emperor's surname seems to be Zhao, what is his name Zhao Kuangyin?" , yes, Zhao Kuangyin."

I didn't think much about it before, but now that the emperor is called Zai Zhao Kuangyin, this Zhao Kuangyin could not be the Zhao Kuangyin who was rescued by himself.

"Tianlin, this Zhao Kuangyin can't be your father?" Fan Xijiang asked cautiously, he hoped it wasn't.

"Old man, who do you think the famous Zhao Kuangyin is now?" Zhao Xu asked directly in a rhetorical tone.

"Could it be Kuang Yin, is it really your father?" Zhao Xu didn't say anything this time, and nodded in agreement.

"Sure enough, he is still famous all over the world. When he came to Jiangnan alone, he just hoped to do something. He didn't expect him to become the lord of a country."

"When he came here, he knew that this person would definitely have a career. At first, he wanted to join Nantang, but he was rejected by those in power."

Fan Xijiang sighed unceasingly. At the beginning, he knew that Zhao Kuangyin wanted to develop in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but he had no connections, and he almost died.

If Zhao Kuangyin had stayed in Southern Tang at that time, Fan Xijiang did not dare to imagine what would have happened in Southern Tang.

"It's all God's will. My father's succession to the throne will also be what the people want. He achieved the throne without bloodshed. This is everyone's trust in him, and it is everyone's desire to end the war."

"A small Southern Tang can't keep his true dragon. This is the arrangement of the heavens. Haven't you thought about it, old man, from ancient times to the present, there is no one who won the throne without bloodshed like my father. Isn't that true? What is God's will?"

"Besides, my country is rich and the people are strong in the Song Dynasty, and I am actively unifying and reappearing my Chinese prosperity. This is something that no one can stop. Anyone or any country that stands in the way, we will get rid of it. Although Zhilan Block the way, I will get rid of it!"

The decision of the whole Song Dynasty was passed on through Zhao Xu's mouth, and other people did not dare to say anything.

"The old man will at least record in the future history books that you once saved the founding emperor of the country, which made a good story."

Fan Xijiang really left his name in the history books, saving Taizu from danger is a great achievement.
