Li Congjia has no idea how to become stronger. He is still learning and adapting. He must learn how to survive and observe other people's actions, especially his elder brother!

After Li Hongji replaced his father, he fought in Wuyue in the east, attacked Jinghu, and eliminated Li Jingda. His continuous victory made him very loudly.

If he could swallow Wu Yue and Jing Chu and integrate the south, he might not be able to compete with the Great Zhou. Just as the threat from the north was lifted, another strong enemy appeared in the south, which was what made him press the gourd and rose up again.

The Great Zhou Dynasty held imperial meetings in succession days to discuss ways to deal with them.

Ye Hua was also called and participated in two meetings. There were a lot of discussions in the court. Some people advocated the southern expedition immediately and resolutely to defeat the Southern Tang momentum. Some people hoped to completely wipe out Yan Yun, destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, relieve their worries, and go south with all their might. The little Li Hongji was not worth worrying about.

Ye Hua prefers the second idea, but has not found a way to restrain Li Hongji, so he can only remain silent for the time being. Fortunately, it is related to the overall strategic situation, and Chai Rong will not make up his mind so quickly.

Ye Hua returned home and went to greet the old lady according to the rules, and then prepared to think about countermeasures. At this time, Zhou Ehuang suddenly came over and pleasing to Ye Hua for his blessings.

"I pay homage to the marquis."

The famous Dazhou Queen, Qingshui, had a face without any makeup, was like a fairy walking out of the painting. I have to say that the difference between being a human being is so big. Such a beautiful woman is really rare in the world.

Although Ye Hua sighed, he didn't have much thought. He didn't have the problem of Boss Cao, let alone if he stimulated Li Congjia to write an unforgettable lyric and passed on it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Mrs. Is there anything wrong?"

"Um!"

Zhou Ehuang nodded slightly. She looked up timidly, looked at Ye Hua's expression, and then hurriedly lowered, "Marty, I heard that Your Highness is living a hard life, right?"

"That's right!" Ye Hua replied very simply, "If God is going to give a great responsibility to this person, he must first suffer his heart and mind, to exhaust his muscles and bones, and to starve his body... The pain that Li Congjia suffered is nothing. He enjoyed it too much before, so he just regarded it as paying off his debt!"

"Who said, although Your Highness is a golden branch and a jade leaf after all, and he has never suffered any grievances. I am worried about him..."

Ye Hua waved his hand, "Li Congjia is much stronger than Mrs. imagined. Li Jingda is already dead. Even if the Great Zhou wants to not protect Li Congjia, he will not be able to do so. Who told him that he is the only one who can replace Li Hongji!"

Ye Hua's tone was relaxed, but anyone who knew him knew that the Marquis was angry and the situation was very serious!

Zhou Ehuang lowered her head, and her heart was in a mess.

Sure enough, the Great Zhou wanted to use Your Highness to make a fuss. With Your Highness's tender shoulders and weak character, how could he withstand it? Li Hongji was crazy and could even poison his biological father, let alone his mere sixth brother.

Your Highness must be made more important. Only in this way can the Great Zhou protect Your Highness with all his might. Ye Hua’s promise will not work, and the Great Zhou must see the value of Your Highness!

Thinking of this, Zhou Ehuang raised his face again and said seriously: "Marty, Li Hongji gave the Khitan 300,000 pieces of silk, he...he wants to ask the Khitan to go south again!"

When Zhou Ehuang said this, she stared at Ye Hua closely. She wanted to capture some expressions from Ye Hua's face. Regardless of joy and anger, as long as the expression is richer, the more valuable the news... But Zhou Ehuang was disappointed, and Ye Hua had no expression from beginning to end.

Just as Zhou Ehuang was impatiently waiting, Ye Hua only said three words, "I know." Then he left.

Zhou Ehuang didn't know if she could help her husband, so she had to go back to her residence, fiddle with the pipa, and play it again, integrating her sorrow into the sound of the pipa.

"I really didn't expect that she wouldn't just play the pipa!" Zhao Er nodded slightly. It seemed that Zhou Ehuang was not ruthless to her husband, nor was she just complaining.

She actually has a channel to understand the secrets of Nan Tang. It’s not simple, it’s really not simple!

...

"Your Majesty, Zhou Ehuang's information tells us at least two important pieces of information." Ye Hua reported to Chai Rong truthfully.

His Majesty the Emperor smiled slightly, "This first thing is that some ministers within the Southern Tang Dynasty were dissatisfied with Li Hongji, and they placed their hopes on Li Congjia. But Li Congjia was not good at it, so they wanted to follow Zhou Ehuang's path and give the situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty to this princess."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Ye Hua gave Chai Rong a dry flattery. Chai Rong frowned, "Ye Qing, you said there are two important news. I only came up with one. What is the second one?"

Ye Hua smiled and said, "Your Majesty is dark under the lamp. The second thing I said is the ability to make a comeback. The Khitan collected 300,000 pieces of silk, and they are likely to make a comeback!"

"oh!"

Chai Rong suddenly frowned, "Ye Qing, do you think the Khitan has just suffered a severe blow. It's not yet a year before, do they have the ability to go south?"

"Whether there is or not, I think they will go south." Ye Hua said confidently. For a robber group, it would be more uncomfortable to let them give up robbery than to kill them.

What's more, with Xiao Siwen's ruthlessness, he went south to attack Caogu. If he wins, he can enrich his power and solve the difficulties. If he loses, he can take the opportunity to consume the opposition force and never lose. How could he not stop moving!

If it were Ye Hua, he would not give gifts to the Khitan at all, he just needed to send a verbal debater.

"Mr. Wang, what do you think?"

Hanlin scholar Wang Pu is with Chai Rong. Usually, the representative who asked later is more important. This person who has been planning for Chai Rong for many years can deserve this position. In the past, he was just Chai Rong's personal aide and never showed up. Now the prime minister in black is about to step forward and reveal his glory.

Wang Pu smiled with a smile on his face, "The judgment of the Zhoujun Hou was naturally to the point. However, according to the old ministers, the Khitans no longer had the power to capture Yanyun's land. They changed from a group of bandits to a small thief. In contrast, Li Hongji was a difficult opponent. If the Great Zhou did not send troops, Wu Yue would not protect him. If Zhou Xingfeng was eliminated, the Yangtze River would be completely devastated and all the dangers in the hands of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the situation would be bad. The old minister still had the eight words... First, south and then north, first, easy and then difficult!"

When Wang Pu told this strategy, Ye Hua couldn't help frowning!

How familiar is that before Guo Wei decided to attack Yanyun, the court faced a dispute between the north and the south. At that time, he turned the tide and prompted Boss Guo to decide to attack the north. The facts proved that he was right. Now that Chai Rong ascended the throne and faced a choice between the north and the south again, he just didn't know how His Majesty the Emperor chose...

Chai Rong was browsing deeply and paced back and forth on the ground. Wang Pu smiled and was not in a hurry at all. He was confident that the emperor would follow his advice. The current situation was different. Ye Hua still insisted on the idea of ​​north first and then south, and he was not able to adapt to it...

After a long time, Chai Rong said slowly: "The Khitan has fallen into a small thief, and it is indeed not worth worrying. I will issue an order to Zhao Kuangyin to make him be careful. Jiangnan is rich and Li Hongji is ambitious. This villa must be eliminated. I am determined to mobilize 200,000 troops to conquer the Southern Tang first! Take back Jiangnan!"

Chai Rong smiled at Ye Hua, "Ye Qing, are you willing to be a pioneer for me this time?"

Ye Hua nodded happily, "I will receive the order."

After coming out of the palace, Ye Hua's mood was obviously not as high as that of his appearance.

It is said that the emperor and the ministers are all the time, but now I finally feel it.

Once upon a time, Boss Guo not only regarded him as a minister, but also as a junior, or even a benefactor... Ye Hua often gained a advantage when he talked about the court, and the facts proved that his judgment was also correct.

But now Chai Rong is in charge of the family. After a few months, His Majesty the Emperor has firmly sat on the dragon throne and started to use his own people.

Although Ye Hua had greater authority, his influence on the emperor was declining...First south and then north, first north and then south... Only this time, the people in the court would understand who is His Majesty's first confidant.

It seems that my life will not be so easy... Of course, Chai Rong still let him be the pioneer, proving that the Holy Family is still extraordinary... Anyway, the times are different, so I should adjust my positioning.

Ye Hua was still as usual, returning to his mansion, still busy, and no one could see anything unusual... The Great Zhou imperial guards were all in their efforts to dispatch the south and fight, right in front of him.

Chai Rong was ready for the personal expedition and was just waiting for the morning dynasty to issue an order for the entire army to go south, but on this night, the news suddenly came, it was from Youzhou!

Zhao Kuangyin, the governor of Tianxiong Army and the remaining subordinate of Youzhou, was ambushed and seriously injured!

"What!"

Chai Rong could hardly believe his eyes. Zhao Kuangyin was injured. He had such powerful martial arts and so many imperial guards to protect him. Who hurt him?

Zhao Kuangyin was injured, what should I do if Youzhou?

Can the army still go south?

Faced with many questions, Chai Rong issued an edict overnight and brought all the important officials into the palace... Soon, various news came back in front of him, and the truth about Zhao Kuangyin's injury surfaced.

A few months ago, several ministers had contact with Daxiangguo Temple, helped the monk talk, and even beat Lu Duosun outside the palace gate.

Chai Rong was furious and immediately sent these people to Youzhou as slaves, and was pardoned and refused to be pardoned.

Among these ministers, there was a man named Wei Shiyu. He came to Youzhou and was arranged to supervise the construction of the city. In less than a month, he won over hundreds of civilians. Taking advantage of the dark moon and high winds, he suddenly kidnapped a group of animals, fled north, and defected to the Khitan.

After hearing the news, Zhao Kuangyin immediately led his troops to pursue him. He gave the order to die and did not let a fugitive go... He chased after him for a whole day and night, killing more than 400 people, and only dozens of people were left beside Wei Shiyu.

Just as Zhao Kuangyin was about to kill him, a group of people suddenly appeared. Zhao Da was attacked from both sides. He killed dozens of people to death, but was shot by crossbow arrows and fell from the horse's back. Fortunately, he was rescued by his subordinates and fled back to Youzhou.

Under the protection of the Khitans, Wei Shiyu successfully escaped from the Great Wall.
