Chapter 691 The First Appearance of the Ci Emperor

At dusk, the motorcade arrived at the inn at Jinlingdu. The Li family of the Southern Tang Dynasty all stayed at the inn on Jinlingdu Street.

The inside and outside of this place and the streets were guarded by Song troops to prevent Li Yu and others from escaping.

Yang Shu sent people to find two large ships and prepared to cross the river early tomorrow morning.

As long as you cross the Yangtze River and reach Yangzhou on the other side, you will be in the Song Dynasty. It is not a difficult task to escort you all the way.

At night, the rain gurgled and the river was covered in mist.

Li Yu stood at the railing outside the window of the inn and looked out into the distance. The infinite country was no longer the river and mountain of the Southern Tang Dynasty. It was easy to leave but difficult to see his homeland again.

The past is like a drained river or a withered red flower, gone forever.

Thinking of these, Li Yu couldn't vent the sadness in his heart, and turned it into inspiration for writing lyrics.

Li Yu hurriedly turned back to the room and asked Concubine Yu Liuzhu to grind it. Huang Baoyi spread out the rice paper. After Li Yu picked up the pen and moistened the ink, he began to write.

"Lang Tao Sha"

"The rain is gurgling outside the curtain, and the spring is fading. The quilt cannot bear the cold at the fifth watch. In the dream, I don't know that I am a guest, and I am greedy for pleasure."

"Don't lean on the railing when you are alone. There are limitless mountains and rivers. It's easy to say goodbye but hard to see others. When the water falls and the flowers fall, the spring is gone. It's heaven and earth."

"Hahaha, I can't believe that after losing a country, my inspiration is like spring water, and my writing is like a spirit. Come and see, how do the words I write compare to Su Chen?"

Li Yu attaches great importance to his new lyrics, and even feels that they are completely different from before.

Concubine Jiang, Baoyi Huang, concubine Yuliuzhu, Qiao, Qingnu, Xue Jiu, Yiai, Xiaohuarui, Magui Yaoniang and other women of Li Yu gathered around and were amazed after reading the book.

"Xiangong's poems are becoming more and more spiritual, and they are no weaker than Su Chen's poems."

"Xiangong should be the emperor in Ci, and he might become the emperor of Ci throughout the ages!"

"Yes, although he has lost his kingdom, in poetry, Xianggong's achievements may be higher."

The girls all enlightened and praised Li Yu in words.

Zhou Ehuang watched from the side and sighed softly, it was already this time, and his husband was still not convinced of Su Chen's talent, and still wanted to compete with his lyricist.

Emperor Zhou E was immediately bored.

If Su Chen had not been sent away and had followed his strategy, maybe the Tang Kingdom would not have perished so quickly.

Emperor Zhou E saw all this and knew very well how important Su Chen was to the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, for many reasons, his own man, Li Yu, gave away Su Chen, who could stabilize the country's fortunes, and ended up as the king of the country.

end.

"I've got some inspiration again, and I'm going to come up with a story, please take a look."

After Li Yu finished speaking, he continued to write a song "Happy Meeting" on another piece of rice paper.

"The flowers in the forest faded away in spring, it was too hasty. There was no choice but the cold rain came in the morning and the wind came in the evening."

"The tears of rouge make us drunk, and we will never see them again. Of course, life grows and hates the water."

It was written in one breath, almost in one breath. The wonderful writing style and the strong meaning are only based on a strong and straightforward emotion. The writing is also natural and smooth. If you don't use any force and just express it casually, it will be natural.

At this time, Li Yu, after the blow of the country's subjugation, his mood changed, and his lyric writing skills suddenly reached the level of a "master".

Perhaps this was a blessing in disguise. Li Yu, who had lost his empire, had achieved a reputation as the Emperor of Ci throughout the ages. His status in the history of literature remained high, and he would still have a place thousands of years later.

When Li Yu's poems spread, Yang Shou, who was drinking with Du Yuhou and Dutou, got the poems copied by the soldiers and handed them to him.

"Lang Tao Sha, meet each other happily, break the relationship?"

Yang Shou read it carefully and felt that the level of these three poems was too high.

"Are these written by Li Yu, the king of the country?" Yang asked the scout.

"Replying to General Yang, these were recited by Li Yu's concubines and family members. We heard them, recorded them, and showed them to the general for review. Listening to their opinions, these are Li Yu's new works."

Yang Shou nodded, sighed and said: "With such talent, it is enough to take the first prize. It's a pity that he only has poetry but no talent for governing the country. It's a pity."

The next day, the light rain had stopped, the sky was clear and the wind was gentle and sunny.

Two large ships docked at Jinling Ferry, and soldiers of the Song Army began to board the ships, while Li Yu and other members of the royal family also began to board the ships.

Empress Dowager Zhong, Prince Zheng Li Congshan, Prince Deng Li Congyi, Duke of E Guo Li Congqian, Princess Daning, Princess Yongjia, etc. were present, including their family members and children, and many direct descendants of the royal family.

The only one missing was Princess Yongning, who was devastated by the news of Su Chen's death. In addition, the country was about to be destroyed. On the day before the country was destroyed, she was so disheartened that she went to a nunnery more than ten miles away from the palace to become a monk.

This time, the children of the Li family were arrested, but Princess Yongning escaped. She planned to escape into Buddhism and never return to secular life.

The person he loved was killed, the Li family was wiped out, and all their glory and wealth were wiped out. This also made Yongning see through the worldly world.

"I'm afraid I'll never come back after this goodbye."

The Empress Dowager Zhong was very old. After being treated by Su Chen, she could have gained a few more years of life. However, witnessing the country's subjugation and being captured, she also suffered a blow, and her body suddenly became sick again.

"Queen Mother, it's time to board the ship." Prince Zheng Li Congshan advised.

"What evil has our Li family done? Our country is gone. The family members are taken as prisoners and taken to the north to be disposed of at will." Empress Dowager Zhong couldn't figure it out and cried sadly.

"Mother, my sons and ministers are running the country poorly. If you want to blame me, blame me!"

Li Yu stepped forward, took the initiative to take responsibility, and comforted his mother.

"Poor son, it's not easy for you. You have to shoulder the responsibility for the country's subjugation, and you will never be able to hold your head up again for the rest of your life."

Empress Dowager Zhong shook her head and sighed, and with the help of her maid, she boarded the ship.

Li Congshan watched Empress Dowager Zhong and others board the boat, then turned to Li Yu and said: "Brother Emperor, for some reason, I have been restless this morning, my eyelids kept beating, and I always felt that something was going to happen. You said we arrived in Song Dynasty

In this situation, will something happen and be punished by the Song Dynasty court?"

"Probably not. It's only me, the king of subjugation, who needs to be dealt with. Nothing will happen to you." Li Yu said truthfully.

Li Congshan said to himself in confusion: "I don't know why, but I always feel like danger is coming. Maybe I'm overthinking it."

Li Yu said: "It may be related to the fact that you haven't slept well in the past two days. Don't worry, just get on the boat. Don't waste time and anger the Song Army officers."

"Okay, board the ship." Li Congshan stepped onto the ship.

Li Yu also boarded the ship and accepted the fate of going north to be a prisoner.

At this time, the gong sounded and it was time to sail.

Some boatmen began to raise the anchor, pull out the planks, and use poles to support the boat slowly away from the ferry.

Some boatmen raised their heads at this time and looked at the ship where the Li family was, with murderous intent and cruelty in their eyes. They looked at each other, nodded slightly, and turned around to leave the shore.
