In the middle of the night, at this time of the day, even if the city of Tokyo is not silent, the voices of people are fading. Today, however, the city of Tokyo is still bustling with activity, even inside the Imperial Palace.

Zhao Xu is going to celebrate the festival with foreign envoys or his old rivals today.

Li Deqian is lucky to be on this list.

After being escorted to Kaifeng Mansion, his life was not as miserable as Li Deqian imagined, Zhao Xu entertained him with good food and drink, and arranged a place for him to live near the Tongwen Pavilion.

The place is very large, but there are more guards in it. He said he was free, but Li Deqian himself still felt that he was under house arrest in a mobile prison.

However, this is much better than Li Deqian imagined, and the only regret is that he has no source of information about Jiaozhi. He had no idea what his country had become now.

At present, he is accompanied by only the six guards who were captured together, but the six of them are also under surveillance and cannot find out the news.

According to Zhao Xu, it is best for Li Deqian to retire with peace of mind in the second half of his life. In any case, he is also a person who has been called the emperor and has been acquiesced by the official Song Dynasty. As long as you don't make trouble and don't commit suicide, the glory and wealth of the rest of your life can still be guaranteed.

The specific example refers to Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, this guy was captured alive by Zhao Kuangyin, and he wrote some sour poems all day long.

Originally, this guy had expressed his surrender to Zhao Kuangyin on the surface before, and secretly made some small moves behind his back, wanting to give him a big one while Zhao Kuangyin was not paying attention.

Who knew that Zhao Kuangyin didn't eat this set at all, and made up his mind in his heart, either you take the initiative to enter Beijing, come to me and I will stare at you every day, or I will catch you in Beijing.

In the end, when Li Yu was defeated, he also asked for Khitan support, and Zhao Kuangyin was so angry that he directly gave him the title of disobedient marquis. Later, Zhao Kuangyin felt that it was inappropriate, so he changed the title of Li Yu to the Duke of Longxi.

Because Li Yu was good at writing and painting, and was very talented, Zhao Kuangyin was reluctant to kill him, so he placed Li Yu in the Beijing Division, and went to see him from time to time.

After the death of the country, Li Yu was unwilling, so he wrote poems in his residence every day. At this time, Zhao Kuangyin was already dead, and he was replaced by his younger brother Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Kuangyin is ambitious in the world and broad-minded. has always adopted a policy of Huai Rou, and the most famous one is the sentence 'do my best' to Zhao Kuangyin and Qian Yu.

Li Yu disgusted him, he naturally didn't care, maybe he would praise Li Yu for his good writing, and disgust Li Yu in turn.

But Li Yu ran to disgust Zhao Guangyi after Zhao Kuangyin's death, and wrote a poem "Yu Beauty", which said, 'Xiaolou had an east wind last night, and the country is unbearable to look back at the bright moon', and specially found a prostitute from Nantang to sing.

Zhao Guangyi's methods are very poisonous, the opposite of his brother, if Zhao Kuangyin represents light, then Zhao Guangyi is undoubtedly the transformation of darkness

Body.

As soon as he heard this, he took the case and said, don't you like to look back, then Lao Tzu will let you go back to the first one, so he gave Li Yu the medicine to kill him.

For this allusion, Li Deqian was not particularly clear at first. Later, he learned that this was Zhao Xu reminding himself, don't think about what you have all day long, live your life in peace and stability, your glory and wealth will definitely be indispensable.

Everyone is surnamed Li, and Zhao Xu doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

But it's easy to say, it's not that easy to sit up. Holding a wine glass in the main hall, looking at Zhao Xu who was sitting on a high seat with a smile on his face, Li Deqian didn't feel good at all.

In the past, when I was in the cross-toe, I was sitting in that position.

Just when Li Deqian was sad, a eunuch outside the door walked in, hurriedly came to Zhao Xu's side and whispered something.

Zhao Xu smiled when he heard this, nodded at the little eunuch, and then said to everyone present: "Everyone has a good day today, my Danyang Marquis of the Great Song Kingdom personally wrapped dumplings and sent them to the palace to celebrate the New Year."

This afternoon, I also tasted it in the Danyang Hou Mansion, the taste is quite good, and when the dumplings are cooked in a while, I will eat them with you to celebrate the New Year! ”

When the envoys of various countries heard it, even the emperor praised the dumplings, how great did it taste? So they all smiled happily, arched their hands towards Zhao Xu, and said auspicious words.

Everyone present was very happy, but Li Deqian's hands and feet were cold.

Here it comes! Sure enough, it still came! Li Deqian wanted to cry without tears, he just remembered Li Yu's tragic experience, why did it fall on him so quickly?

Li Deqian dared to guarantee that the dumplings he gave him must contain a drug. What did he do to make Zhao Xu hate himself so much, that he wanted to poison himself in public?

For a while, Li Deqian's spirit was a little trance-like, and he didn't even react when the dumplings were brought up in front of him.

"Guangyuan Gong, eat dumplings, they won't taste good when they're cold." The little eunuch beside him kindly reminded.

Li Deqian just woke up from a dream, looking at the steaming sleep in front of him, Li Deqian sighed that he was ill-fated, and took a grain with chopsticks, and unconsciously burst into tears.

Looking back on what he had done in his life, Li Deqian felt that he had really lived in vain. If he is given a chance to do it all over again, he is confident that he will do better.

Li Deqian trembled and put the dumplings in his mouth and refused, his tragic mood had made him forget to taste the taste.

He looked up at Zhao Xu, who was smiling, and only felt that this person was a wolf in sheep's clothing, even more dangerous than the general surnamed Tang he had seen.

So Li Deqian swallowed the dumplings in his mouth in front of Zhao Xu, and then shouted sadly: "My life is over!" Immediately after that, he began to grab the dumplings with his hands and put them in his mouth.

Everyone is terrified, you look at me, I look at you, I can't figure out what the hell is going on.

Even Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't figure out what kind of nerves Li Deqian was experiencing. What Tang Ning sent was pure meat filling, which was even more delicious than the one he had eaten at his house before.

But even so, it won't make Li Deqian eat so gaffe.

The envoys of various countries also looked at Li Deqian, who was like a savage, and looked at each other, and big question marks popped up in their minds.

Li Deqian finished eating the dumplings, and his cheeks were already bulging. But I didn't react for a long time, and I don't know if the effect of the medicine has not arrived.

I heard that after Li Yu took the drug, he reacted after drinking. So Li Deqian grabbed another pot of wine and poured it on his neck.

"Listening to Fang Cai's introduction, isn't he the former king of the Cochin Kingdom? How did you do that? Is it so poor that the country of Jiaozhi has never even eaten dumplings? ”

"I don't know, I haven't been to Cochin. But didn't the Song people exile the criminals over there, I don't think it's much better. ”

“……”

Li Deqian slowly swallowed the contents of his mouth, and he had already realized that Zhao Xu had no intention of killing himself at all.

But he burst into tears even more, and God knows how humiliating his actions were. At this moment, he just wanted to find a place where no one was there to cry, he had never suffered such a grievance......

At the same time, in the distant city of Thang Long. The reconstruction work is not yet halfway underway, but the little prince has been troubled by his own imperial uncles.

After a month of leaderlessness, Fan Richeng, Li Changjie and a group of generals with military power finally rushed back to stabilize the situation.

Li Changjie and Fan Ilcheng supported the little prince who was released back by Tang Ning as king, but others suggested that someone from the royal family who had already reached adulthood should be selected to inherit the throne.

Inside Jiaozhi, which is being besieged by Zhenla and Champong, the contradictions between the two factions continue to erupt. Li Changjie was questioned because of repeated defeats, and he was so angry that he fell seriously ill.

And Fan Richeng was also accused of incompetence because of his lack of progress, and Li Deqian was still arrested under his nose, which was a big stain on Fan Richeng.

As a result, Fan Richeng and Li Changjie were both seriously ill, and the little prince was already crumbling.

But the ending surprised everyone, and overnight, six members of the royal family died violently, all of whom were in the prime of life.

This result made everyone shut their mouths, and they suddenly discovered that this little prince, who was not very old, did not seem to be a soft persimmon that could be kneaded wantonly.

And his thunderous means will also solve the split crisis of Jiaozhi. Although this will bury hidden dangers, at present, it is finally possible to unify the voice and unify the external ......
