Today is the sixth day of the first lunar month. As usual, Emperor Li Jing chooses a few days a month to ask about his sons' homework. Even the elder brother who has already left the town has set off from Jiangbei Jiedu Mansion early in the morning and rushed back to Jiangning to wait for the assessment.

The Dalang in Yingxue's mouth just now refers to him.

Thinking of this elder brother coming, Li Yu not only had a numb scalp but also had an explosion, otherwise he would not have been scared to death just now.

Crown Prince Li Hongji is a rare ruthless person. Not to mention that in the Southern Tang Dynasty and in the Central Plains, they are all evil gods of killing.

In the first year of Baoda, when Li Jing cried and refused to ascend the throne, but wanted to give the throne to his third brother Li Jingsui, he was twelve years old, and was granted the title of Zhenhai Jiedushi by Li Jing and sent out to supervise Runzhou (Zhenjiang), an important town in Jiangbei. As soon as he stepped into the city, he received news that his old enemy Wu Yue and the Kingdom of the Later Han Dynasty jointly sent troops to attack Runzhou.

At this time, the number of defenders in Runzhou was not superior. Li Jing was shocked and hurriedly wanted to change his son to Fangzhen. However, he replied with a memorial saying that if the prince retreated halfway, he would be unfavorable to defend the city, so he was determined to fight to the death to serve the country!

He then did what he said, climbed the city tower himself, braved the world-famous Wu crossbow arrow rain, commanded it as if it were determined, and repelled the sneak attack of Wu Yue Kingdom with the power of the whole country. He even took advantage of the retreat of the Wu Kingdom and suddenly blocked out of the city and beheaded tens of thousands of people in one battle, which was the first victory in the establishment of the Southern Tang Kingdom;

What criticizes or fears most is not this, but his ruthless, harsh and suspicious character, and his unscrupulous character to achieve his goals;

After that war, the Southern Tang Dynasty could not send more reinforcements for a while, and Li Jing wanted him to give up Runzhou, but this child, who had not grown up all the hair, ordered all the captured senior Wu Yue generals to behead them!

Usually, after the war, senior prisoners either pay for redemption or exchange them. Moreover, China has always said that killing prisoners is ominous and unfavorable. At best, killing low-level generals such as Xuanjie Captain to put pressure on the enemy country, and fortunately they are more confident when extorting ransoms.

Not to mention the method of killing all the families in the Southern Tang Dynasty, it was the first time that the entire five generations and ten countries appeared.

Afterwards, the Wu Yue national spirit was circulated and scolded the world, but in fact, it was completely suppressed. It was so scared that it retreated and shivered to Jiangnan. Li Hongji took the opportunity to take advantage of the inside battle of the Southern Tang Dynasty, mobilized troops north, and beat the Later Han who wanted to take the opportunity to get a bargain and vomited blood. It stabilized the situation in Jiangbei in one fell swoop. He was named the crown prince for his merits. After many years of guarding Jiangbei, he never lost in all kinds of battles, and he vaguely received the title of the first martial arts honor of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

But His Highness was even more cruel to the enemy and his own people. He had nothing outside the emperor's throne. He had clearly left the Dongdu, but there were many eyewitnesses in Jinling City and the palace. He stared at the every move of the uncle and brothers for him. If he knew that his younger brothers were doing something out of order, he would be very scolded. He was already a god of killing. As long as he got angry, how could other princes withstand it?

Therefore, the younger brothers were afraid of him. As long as he returned to Jiangning, Xidu, all the emperors would make excuses to eat incense and refine pills, or even say they were sick and hid in their palaces and avoid meeting him.

Li Yu is smarter than them. Every time he is under the guise of collecting pictures for Southern Tang Jiu, he will go into Chengxin Hall for two or three days; because he knows that except for taking school studies, his elder brother will never step into Chengxin Hall.

...

After Yingxue finished tidying up his clothes, Li Yu took two eunuchs to Chengxintang. Go early, and would rather wait for Li Jing himself than let me wait for my son. The father is kind and filial, and he is low-key and low-key. If you really can't pretend to be stupid and cute, see if you can take advantage of me and make a fortune as your own...

Li Yu knew about Chengxintang before traveling through time, but he only knew that Chengxintang paper is known as the skin eggs as film, as firm as jade, thin and smooth. It is the best calligraphy and painting paper in history, but it has not been unearthed in real objects, which can be regarded as an eternal mystery, so I took it for granted that it was a royal papermaking farm.

After traveling through time, I realized that it was not a paper field, but a collection of books in the Southern Tang Dynasty, a place of reading, and four treasures of the imperial study.

This is a large palace complex, and Chengxintang is the core and largest building. Logically speaking, the entire building complex should be called Chengxin Palace, or Chengxintang Palace, but over time, it becomes a custom.

Li Yu walked around inside and came to a side hall in Chengxin Hall. Sometimes when Li Jing was reading books in Chengxin Hall, he would summon ministers to discuss and discuss it. Then the main hall was not very convenient, so he simply opened a few side halls, which were more private and more casually arranged.

There are several huge cases in the middle of the side hall, and a high-back chair behind it is extremely wide, almost the same as the Grand Master's chair in later generations. Needless to ask, this is Li Jing's special seat. As for both sides, there are chairs or arhat couches.

During the Five Dynasties, after the rapid development of the Tang Dynasty, chairs had entered thousands of households, from the imperial courts to the people, they all felt that sitting on a chair was much more comfortable than kneeling on a couch or on the ground.

As for Hu Biao, commonly known as the small stool, it has been out of the living room for a long time and is currently using the heat to gather in the kitchen lights...

It was still early, and Li Jing should be still having lunch. The main hall was empty, and only himself and his fifth brother Li Liangzuo arrived first.

Li Yu was born to Empress Zhong, the fifth brother Li Liangzuo was born in a vassal family. His mother was just a palace maid. After being happy, he was promoted to the lowest level of Baolin in the harem. He was even worse than Wu Zetian in the humble age. Wu Cairen was at least the fifth grade of the harem, Baolin was at the sixth grade, and further down there was the business-level rank of the Imperial Girl (the foreman of the Palace Maid).

In this era when the son was valued by his mother, he was the lowest class among princes since he was born.

His mother's body has never been properly recovered after giving birth. She finally couldn't stand the death a few years ago. Later, she was raised and taught by Queen Zhong. This life experience made him silent and introverted and not good at speaking. When he saw his brothers, he would just say hello in a low voice and would not say another word.

But he was a little more intimate with Li Yu because both of them liked to go through various religious scriptures in Chengxin Hall. However, Li Yu was good at Buddha, but he was acquainted with Taoism...

After greeting each other, they sat down without saying a word. Li Yu was used to this. Sometimes in Chengxin Hall, they read their favorite classics, and often they would not say a word a day.

Just as Li Yu closed his eyes and thought about how to deal with Li Jing's school exam today, and by the way, he thought about how to flatter himself in a low-key manner, he carried it into the hall in a soft sedan chair. When the two of them hurriedly got up to greet him, they were here. This was the second brother.

My second brother's health has been getting worse in recent years. Li Jing was heartbroken and agreed to him to sit in the sedan chair in the palace and enjoy the treatment that even the prince did not have.

The curtain of the sedan chair lifted up, revealing a bloodless face. King Le'an Li Hongmao is seventeen years old this year, but his face does not have the rosy and firepower he should have at his age, and he looks pale and haggard.

Li Yu quietly kicked his fifth brother Li Liangzuo, and then ran up to help him out of the sedan chair. Li Liangzuo also quickly followed, and the two of them sent the eunuch to help him out of the sedan chair, one left and one right.

"I'm sorry, two brothers." Li Hongmao's voice was soft, just like his personality. He was known as a wise king in the capital. His daily style was similar to Li Jing. He liked to come into contact with literati and sang poems and sang together. He was very talented. After Li Yu compared it privately, he felt that if he didn't do a copycat, he would be no match for his poetry and prose at this moment. After all, the two were still several years apart, and he had not yet reached the realm of "the country was unhappy, the poets and scholars were lucky, and they had started to work on vicissitudes of life."

"Why did the emperor say this? This is my duty. It's cold recently, so I'm going to be careful." As he said that, he helped him walk towards the seat. A little eunuch had already laid a thick brocade mat on it. After he sat down, Li Yu talked to him about poetry and prose for a while. The fifth brother Li Liangzuo stood aside silently. Even if Li Yu led the conversation to him, he was just um oh oh oh oh oh.

At this time, the other emperor brothers also entered the palace one after another. Li Yu saw his seventh brother Li Congshan. In terms of appearance, he looked the most like Li Jing. The heaven was full, the pavilion was round, the eyes were dark and big, and flexible. If he walked on the streets of his previous life, he would definitely attract many young ladies to hug and pinch "What a cute little master";

But he was already a little arrogant and arrogant when his eyebrows were young. I guess he felt that with the Minister of Rites as his backer, he looked down on other brothers.

"Idiot little kid, don't know if the rafters that come out will rot first..." Li Yu cursed viciously in his heart. The reason is good, but it is still a little bit sour. The same mother was born only one year apart. Why did Zhong Mo look at him instead of himself?

It is not necessarily a good thing for a prince to make friends with foreign ministers, but someone who works for him or her can only watch others be taken for him. The difference between the two is huge, or at least in Zhong Mo's eyes, he is far less valuable than this little brat...

Besides, this minister also has his own small faction, which means he has a team-like airs. If necessary, he can quickly expand it to form a complete organization with himself as the core...

"Hey, it's different for everyone." Li Yu sighed secretly.

"Fifth Brother, your voice is louder, I can't hear it clearly." Li Congshan said to Li Liangzuo very much. The latter was still as if he was stuttering for a long time.

"Fifth brother, I look down on me in such a tone..." Li Congshan looked like a face that was not a face, and his nose was not a nose. Li Yu looked at him and wanted to punch him. It was really annoying.

"This, this..., look... I can't afford it, no... No." Li Liangzuo was not good at speaking, and he was even more stuttering at this time, unable to even say a complete sentence.

Li Congshan was also from Queen Zhong, and his identity was much nobler than him. Thinking of this, Li Liangzuo suddenly shook like a sieve.

When Li Congshan saw him, he brought a cruel sneer on his lips and looked at his fifth brother in a daze, his eyes full of jokes and indifferentness.

Li Yu secretly looked at him and saw Li Congshan deliberately or unintentionally glance at his younger brothers. The other brothers were all under ten years old. Seeing this, he was so scared that he retreated repeatedly.

"This is using the fifth brother to establish his authority... It's a bit too much to bully people like this!" Although he had made up his mind to be low-key just now, he could not control himself when he saw the honest man being humiliated. After all, he could still act as an airs of the emperor.

He was about to speak, but another cough came from his ear, and his qi was weak. "Seventh brother should not be rude to his fifth brother." He turned his head and looked. It turned out that it was his second brother Li Hongmao who spoke up and stood up. Li Hongmao also heard Li Yu's cough. At this moment, he saw Li Yu looking over and smiled slightly on the corner of his mouth, which was a commendation.

"The emperor's words are wrong. I just let the fifth brother's voice sound. My younger brother is still young and his ears are not as sensitive as those of his brothers..."

"Bastard!" Li Yu was furious. He really thought that it would be great to have a minister behind him, so he dared to talk back on his second brother with cleverness?

These are the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and there is no difference between killing a minister and killing a dog;

No, if you kill a dog, you must be careful of the dog's rush to jump over the wall and bite people. If you kill the servant, you will be killed. After cutting off your head, your family members will have to express their gratitude.

This little bastard probably doesn't know how the older generation of rebel Zhu Wen set rules for civil officials back then...

Li Hongmao did not expect that his younger brother, who was five years younger than him, would talk back publicly, and he was caught off guard for a while. He was a famous scholar and was difficult to be good at talking and debating, but he was not very skilled in this one-on-one confrontation with a gun and a stick.

In an instant, his face turned red and he was so angry that he started to cough.

When Li Yu saw Li Congshan, he quickly jumped over and gently massaged his second brother Li Hongmao's back...

Li Congshan did not respond to this and continued to sneer and turned his head to look at Li Liangzuo, "Fifth Brother, are I talking about it..."

This question is even more tricky, and I can't even say yes or no. Li Liangzuo's face is paler than Li Hongmao's illness.

Li Yu was about to grit his teeth and clean up this ignorant bastard, but he heard a angrily shout from the door, "Bastard, where is the etiquette of the Tian family!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw a young man of eighteen or nineteen strode in. He had a wide mouth, thick eyebrows and big eyes, straight nose, handsome and heroic appearance, but his outfit was out of place but he was incompatible with the elegant Chengxin Hall main hall. Here everyone was wearing fur robes and silk clothes. Even the eunuchs with clothes next to him were wearing dark blue linen robes with kapok.

But this man was wearing military uniform, with a cowhide skirt under his crotch, a light cowhide armor in the upper body, a bright steel heart-protecting glasses on his chest, a flat bun on his head, and a leather helmet in his right hand...

As he entered, the temperature in the entire hall seemed to drop a lot. Several young brothers leaned together, their faces full of fear, and the originally seemingly invisible Dragon Bob fragrance also turned into a pungent smell of blood.

The first god of killing in the Southern Tang Dynasty, the four prefectures of the Jiedushi of Runzhou, the reign of Zhijun County, and the eastern capital was left behind. The prince of Nanchang, the prince, and Li Hongji arrived.

"Apology!" Li Hongji walked to Li Congshan.

"This, this...I'm joking with the emperor brothers." It was Li Congshan's turn to stutter.

Li Hongji didn't say anything, but just looked at him condescendingly. Although Li Congshan was a little domineering, he was just facing his younger brothers and his concubine's elder brother;

In front of Li Hongji's cruelty, which was hammered from the sea of ​​blood, there was no resistance at all. His face turned from pale and turned blue. In the end, he couldn't even stand steadily. He walked stammeringly in front of Li Liangzuo and Li Hongmao and stammering and apologizing.

"Hmph, I will see this next time, don't blame me for not caring about my mercy!"

"Brother, just because of my young age, I am magnanimous and I will never dare to do it again..." Li Congshan faintly cried a little, and he was really frightened.

Li Congshan was smart since childhood, and he acted like a little adult at a young age. Zhong Mo was his Mr. Xixi. Seeing that he was like this, he became a supporter. Although he was the seventh heir, "the greatest contribution is to support him."

Now the three above fight so hard, God knows what will happen later. The second brother is in poor health and the fifth brother is born. These two are barely ranked in the ranking. It seems that Li Congshan is not impossible for him to succeed to the throne.

If Li Yu heard this, he would have to hug him and shout, "Mr. Zhong, great talent, great talent..." Because in history, this is how Li Yu received the throne...

Although Zhong Mo would not say it clearly, Li Congshan learned from him for a long time and was more or less influenced. In addition, he was often praised by Li Jing, so the twelve-year-old child naturally became a little fluttery;

Thinking that Li Hongji could make such a contribution back then, he just had no chance, so he vaguely looked down on his elder brother, thinking that he was a vulgar martial artist, with bloody hands, but that's it.

Today, I realized that the power of the slaughter of ten thousand people is definitely not something that I can compete with, a prince of Taiping. No one in Li Hongji was even really angry, and he was already scared to his legs. If he really got angry...
Chapter completed!
