I don’t know who he is or what his purpose is, but one thing is clear now: someone is involved in this matter!
Being able to interfere in the affairs of the imperial court, this person's identity is not simple!
I don’t know what this person’s purpose is, but he obviously has this ability!
There were many people with this ability in the Tang Dynasty. Both Yan Jingquan and Chen Hui knew this, but only if the emperor did not know about it. Because since the defeat of Jiangbei, the emperor now doesn't care about the affairs of the court at all. That's why the various ministries in the DPRK dare not tell the emperor if they have something to do.
Now the emperor is no longer called the emperor to the outside world, but has been reduced to a feudal vassal and renamed the king! Although the Central Plains did not care about it on the surface, the Central Plains envoys in Jinling City were obviously not vegetarians!
I heard that there was a young man in Lingnan who was a genius. Not only did he become the emperor, his poems surpassed his own. Li Congjia, a layman from Lianfeng, was most conceited in his life, that his poetry was far superior to that of his predecessors. When he heard that someone was better at poetry than him, he naturally wanted to see it.
Many people don't know that when Li Congjia went to Lingnan, he was almost left behind by the young emperor. If the young emperor hadn't been lazy and didn't want to bear too much pressure too early, I'm afraid this prince would have been left as a hostage!
It is said that if Zhong Mo, the Minister of Rites, had not fought for him and dragged him back from Prince Xing's Mansion, I am afraid that he would have been a little reluctant to miss Shu and not want to return to Jinling City. In terms of food and urban planning, Prince Xing's Mansion was better than any other capital at that time! Li Congjia, who likes to be leisurely and straightforward by nature, fell in love with Lingnan!
A person with his character and behavior would not cause much trouble in the Tang court. A prince who has no interest in the throne is somewhat harmless in everyone's eyes. There are also some criticisms of old people, but they are used as good words among literati.
Yan Jingquan and Chen Hui were surprised at the same time. It was said that the crown prince Li Hongyi was out of favor because of the uproar about the murder of his uncle, which completely angered Li Jing and wanted to be deposed by the emperor. Both people who were born in the military knew that Crown Prince Li Hongyi was indeed the most promising figure of this era. Even if he is defeated, Emperor Li Jing will not admit that he is incompetent.
In this era, people in their forties are not considered young, and they are definitely not too old.
Among the kings of various countries, Meng Chang and Li Jing are similar in age, and they are also young and promising; Guo Rong is a few years younger, and he is close to Meng Chang's age; Qian Hongchu and Li Jing are a little younger than Guo Rong; originally Lingnan Liu Sheng and Li Jing are similar in age and have almost the same experience. Unfortunately, Liu Sheng has passed away.
Gao Baorong and Zhou Xingfeng were first-rate, but in Li Jing's opinion, they could not be called monarchs. The conceited Li Jing felt that if the world did not belong to him, only three points from the Central Plains would be the most. From the strongest force in the south to a vassal town full of fear, one can imagine the shame, anger and fear in his heart.
In this era, there is really no one with Li Jing's literary and military virtues. At a young age, he commanded the entire Chu Territory. Chu Territory fell into the hands of the old officials of the Ma family. At least he also wiped out this regime. Later, the horse stepped on Fujian, and the Wuyue Kingdom took the opportunity to share the pie. However, Fujian no longer had a king, and most of the land belonged to the Tang Kingdom.
Whether it is in terms of area or territory, or the literary and military virtues of the imperial commander, Li Jing can be said to be a well-deserved talent.
(However, there are poems from later generations to prove it: A river of spring water flows eastward, and the son of the Li family is very sad. The lady loves the Southern Tang Dynasty because of its good poetry, but the Southern Tang Dynasty is not as good as the Qian family!)
He is talking about the children of Li Jing's generation, although they are the same as the Qian family of Wuyue Kingdom. But the ending is not only bad, but also far worse than that of the descendants of the Qian family. Of course, people at this time cannot know the outcome, but at this time, Li Jing's descendants are the only one who can still be considered a figure.
Because of the decades and two or three generations of management of the Tang Dynasty after Yang Wu, many talents and elites have gathered in the south. Under Li Tang's deliberate management and subtle influence, everyone recognized the existence of Li Tang Tianxia. Therefore, everyone wants to escape from the current situation of war and separatism in the Central Plains.
This group of people is naturally dominated by Emperor Li Jing.
Regarding the blank state affairs, everyone is like the emperor's new clothes. As long as this small court can be maintained, the ups and downs outside will not be allowed to appear on the bustling streets of Jinling City.
So for this prince Li Congjia, who is said to be a bit harsh and only knows how to live and drink, suddenly appeared inexplicably. Although I don’t know whether it was an accident or something intentional, this is a very surprising thing.
Although in any dynasty, or even at any time, it is normal for a prince to suddenly become interested in government affairs on a whim. What's more, contact with this kind of matter can also be said to be concerned about national affairs. After all, people from the Fusang Kingdom came to the Central Plains just to ask for something.
No matter what treasures they brought, how valuable they were compared to the treasures produced in the Central Plains?
So many people naturally disdain this kind of tribute, but what they care about is the real meaning of their arrival.
Because everyone understands this truth, but what any force may value is the true meaning of tribute. This will represent foreign countries' recognition of their own political power. Although this matter does not have much practical significance, in this era of separatism and division, at least in terms of explicit righteousness, it can be publicly promoted.
Maybe the people in the court's Ministry of Etiquette haven't really realized it, or they have already realized it, but they feel that this kind of thing is of little significance to Emperor Li Jing. Who dares to seek death by stroking the tiger's beard?
Because the imperial court had just been defeated again in Jiangbei, not only had it separatized the states in Jiangbei, but even the emperor Li Jing had no choice but to surrender to the vassal, and even personally petitioned to establish the crown prince Li Congyi. Who dares to expose the scars of this kind of thing that has disgraced eight generations of our ancestors?
If the imperial court openly accepts envoys from the Fusang Kingdom, then those envoys from the Zhou Kingdom in Jinling City will definitely not be freeloaders! Although Guo Rong, the Zhou leader of the Central Plains, grandly said that Li Jing did not need to abdicate, his attitude of being the leader of the Central Plains Communist Party was completely revealed! Now if the Tang State is going back on its word, then this matter may give rise to an excuse for crusade!
Yan Jingquan and Chen Huina are both talented people. They know that apart from the crown prince Li Congyi, the longest surviving prince in the Tang Dynasty is Li Congjia, a layman of Lianfeng. Although the horoscope has not yet been written, this kind of thing is not impossible in all dynasties!
It seems that no one in the court supports the prince, but it is said that both the Buddhist and Taoist families in Jinling City prefer the prince!
When he thought of this, the first thing Yan Jingquan suddenly looked at was Xiao Cheng. He remembered that Chen Jie had just come in and was very impressed, and he couldn't help but think of something that Chen Xuan had mentioned!
Chen Hui seemed to have thought of something. Although his expression was indifferent when he looked at Yan Jingquan, the content in his eyes made people think a little more.
After all, this place is different from other places. This is a public place. Everyone comes together to find Yan Jingquan. This matter needs to be considered separately!
Of course, there is no need to worry about anyone coming. If you want to be reckless here, I'm afraid it won't end well.
After all, if this master doesn't have much ability, how can he stand in Jinling City?
