Along the way, Sun Yu was quite distracted, so he sent Zhou Wei back to his house in a daze. The house was already ready, and Grand Tutor Zhou Zong hurriedly thanked her.

"My dear nephew, are you exhausted? I'm very grateful for this." After Zhou Wei was sent to the backyard, Zhou Zong saw that Sun Yu was not in good spirits and stepped forward to ask.

"Uncle, you're welcome. This is what a nephew should do. After running around for several days and fighting a lot, I'm really tired." Sun Yu kept his spirits up and didn't let any clues slip.

"My dear nephew, I'm afraid I can't go home to rest yet. I have to take you to the palace for a while." Zhou Zong was quite fond of Sun Yu in front of him, but something went wrong. Now that everyone has been rescued, no matter what

No matter what, I have to ask for this merit, otherwise I will be unworthy of my old friend.

"My nephew thanked my uncle." Sun Yu was overjoyed. This time, Zhou Zong took him to the palace to claim credit. I am afraid that what he asked for would be much easier. Sun Yu told Lao Cheng and Zhang Daqiu to go back to the house first, and he and Zhou Zong went there.

Take a walk around the palace.

In the imperial study room, the king Li Yu, who had already received the news, was overjoyed. King Han on the side was also very proud. This boy really made a face for himself. In just three days, he was brought back without any injuries. One penny

No redemption required.

"Master of the country, Grand Tutor Zhou Zong brings Sun Yu to ask for an audience." It was a coincidence that the person on duty next to Li Yu today was Eunuch An. Sun Yu heard that the King of Han was also there, and it was really good luck that heaven and earth worked together.

"Please come in quickly and prepare wine." Li Yu still appreciates those who have made meritorious deeds, and he will not hesitate to reward them.

"Congratulations, Taifu, your daughter is unharmed. You should have a good drink today." As soon as the two entered the study, King Han stood up and said.

"My dear brother, what you said is true. Thanks to Sun Qing's family, come and give me a seat to drink from this cup." Li Yu picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Sun Yu naturally took a seat and drank a full cup.

"Your Majesty, I heard that it was the day for nephew Sun Xian's school examination, but he was delayed by the old man's family affairs. When he thought of this, the old man felt quite uneasy..." It doesn't matter if you drink, you have to get the business done.

Okay, after all, Lord Taishan is the leader of the country, so naturally he doesn’t have to go around in circles.

"You all thought that Gu had forgotten about this matter. This is why my good brother came here. How could Gu have ever been stingy with people who have made meritorious deeds? After Xiao Sunqing's family was loyal and loyal, he was both civil and military. This time he has made great achievements. Gu is alone.

I won't treat you badly. I thought you were determined to serve in the army, and I planned to arrange to join the Forbidden Army to practice. But today I am happy, but you just want something, you might as well tell me." Since you have real talent and practical knowledge, you might as well make an exception, like this

It can also better win people's hearts.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Please listen to me and tell me the ins and outs of this matter..." Sun Yu immediately told Feng Xuejian and his wife why they did this, as well as the situation in Jianzhou.

"I never thought that Jianzhou was in such a state of decay. It's all Gu's fault." Li Yu sighed after hearing about the miserable situation in Jianzhou. He also knew that the people of Jianzhou were in a bad situation, but he never thought that they were in such hardship.

"My younger brother, I have also heard that the Ministry of Civil Affairs has been selecting and appointing capable ministers, but the risk is too great and it is difficult to find suitable candidates for a while." King Han also knew that the Ministry of Civil Affairs also had a headache in selecting officials in Jianzhou, and the risk was too high.

If the level is too high, the selected person will immediately complain that he is sick as soon as he hears that he is going to Jianzhou. But after all, he has jurisdiction over a state, and this level is not enough, so it has been delayed.

"Your Majesty, this Jianzhou is also the land of our Tang Dynasty, and the people are also our subjects of the Tang Dynasty. They are always looking forward to the Lord's kindness to them. I am not talented, but I am willing to go to Jianzhou to clean up the place and return Jianzhou to the country.

A place for the people to live and work in peace and contentment." Sun Yu expressed his thoughts, as for hoping that the Lord would be kind to him.

, that’s just to give Li Yu a high hat.

"My dear nephew, how can this be allowed?" Grand Tutor Zhou Zong was immediately worried when he heard this. Jianzhou is famous for its chaos, and if you are not careful, your body and soul will be destroyed. At this young age, he doesn't even have any incense.

If you stay, how can you go to that kind of place?

"Are you really willing to go? You should think about it carefully." After thinking about it for a while, Li Yu understood Sun Yu's thoughts. It would be difficult to make a difference if he went to other places, but this Jianzhou is different and the dangers are the same.

Pregnant with opportunities. But Li Yu was a little unsure. The land of Jianzhou was originally reserved as a buffer. Will this kid cause trouble if he goes there? If Qingyuan Jiedushi is forced to collude with South Vietnam, it will be a big trouble.

Moreover, the other party is young and there are no important people in the family. It is difficult to control him just by letting him out to take charge of the government. After all, this kind of thing has happened all the time from the previous dynasty to the present.

"Sun Yu, you can tell me what you think!" As soon as King Han saw Li Yu's expression, he had almost figured out Li Yu's thoughts. He had figured this brother out thoroughly. If there was even a trace of uncertainty, it would be difficult to make a decision.

.

"Your Majesty, although our Southern Tang Dynasty is currently peaceful, wars are about to break out in the world. Not long after Taizu of the Northern Song Dynasty ascended the throne, once the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty is stabilized, a war will inevitably break out to justify his throne with the martial arts of unifying the world. As expected.

Not bad, we will launch an attack from Chu and Shu first, and then our Tang Dynasty..." Sun Yu talked eloquently. The biggest dilemma of the Southern Tang Dynasty is that it has no outlet to the sea, and South Vietnam has good relations with the Northern Song Dynasty.

, once defeated, there would be no place to escape. But if the Qingyuan Army really captured the territory, the Southern Tang Dynasty could go to sea from Quanzhou, conduct trade with Nanyang, develop armaments, and wait for opportunities to attack South Vietnam. Once South Vietnam was captured, it would be the same as today's

The current situation is different. In the memory of later generations, the Southern Tang Dynasty was retreating steadily under the attack of the Northern Song Dynasty and South Vietnam.

"Think again." When Li Yu heard this, he was startled. He originally wanted to live a peaceful life, and he was so happy. Why did he have to fight back and forth? He also wanted to destroy South Vietnam. Once weapons were used, what would happen to the Northern Song Dynasty?

Can you sit back and watch?

"Brother Emperor, what this son said is true. The Northern Song Dynasty was so powerful that it would not stop using weapons. That Taizu Zhao family started in the army and was famous for being brave and good at fighting. No matter what we do or not, the world will not be peaceful for long.

When King Han heard what Sun Yu said, he felt enlightened. In the past, he was always worried about the future of the Tang Dynasty, always thinking about how to rely on the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, but ignored the South Vietnam that was always behind him. Moreover, once there was

By carrying out trade at the seaport, the Tang Dynasty's national power will surely become stronger. It is more reliable to be strong ourselves than to rely on the natural dangers of the Yangtze River.

"This is quite risky. Not to mention South Vietnam, the Qingyuan Army is not easy to deal with." If it were weak, the Qingyuan Army would have been incorporated long ago, how could it be so free now.

"The greater the risk, the higher the return. Lord, how can the land of Qingyuan Military Region and two states support tens of thousands of elites? They are all the benefits of maritime trade. The land of Nanyang is rich in products. If the Tang Dynasty can vigorously develop trade,

It's enough to support 100,000 elite soldiers." Sun Yu couldn't figure out how many soldiers he could support, but it was certain that there was plenty of food in Nanyang. As long as he could get food, raising an army wouldn't be a problem.

"What do you think, dear brother?" Li Yu was a little moved. There are one hundred thousand elite soldiers. The entire Southern Tang Dynasty can be called elite, and the full number of elite soldiers is only two hundred thousand. The elite soldiers of the Northern Song Dynasty are only five to six hundred thousand. If he holds three hundred thousand

Elites, occupying the natural danger of the Yangtze River, the Northern Song Dynasty wanted to attack, but they had to weigh their teeth. If they could win South Vietnam, they could conquer the river. As for going north? Li Yu didn't even dare to think about it. He could be safe and stable in this life.

Being the head of a country means burning incense.

"How many people, horses, and food do you want? Our Tang Dynasty is in short supply of money and food, and it's hard to hide it from others.

." King Han was also very moved, but although this plan is good, it will cost money to implement. Moreover, once the army enters Jianzhou, the Qingyuan Army and South Vietnam must know that if the two parties join forces, I am afraid that Jianzhou will have to join in.

.After all, the main forces of the Southern Tang Dynasty were defending the north and were deployed along the river. They did not dare to mobilize large numbers of troops.

"This matter is just a matter of time and space. What I can do is to do my best and obey fate! I only need to bring a small number of troops and a batch of money and food to defeat the bandits in Jianzhou, protect the country and the people, and accumulate strength. As for the Qingyuan Army, they should wait for the opportunity.

Move." With Jianzhou as one state, challenging the Qingyuan Army alone is like hitting an egg against a stone. You can only wait for the opportunity. As far as Sun Yu knows, the Qingyuan Army is not monolithic, and there are also undercurrents surging within. Waiting for Qingyuan

Just civil strife in the army.

"Sun Aiqing said, I should think about it again. You have worked hard this time, go back and have a good rest." Li Yu originally planned to guard this three-acre land and be the master of his Jiangnan Kingdom. But today

Sun Yu's words pulled him out of his fantasy. If he were Song Taizu, he would definitely not tolerate the existence of forces that threatened him. Moreover, a kind of temptation called ambition took root in his heart and was ready to move.

Sun Yu knew that he could not force the matter, and he could only go back and wait. He went out of the palace with the Taifu without mentioning it.

"Lao An, go and invite the Ministry of War and the Minister of Household Affairs to come over. Gu has something to discuss. Brother Xian is here to accompany Gu. This matter is quite big, and Gu has no idea." This matter involves soldiers, horses, money and food, so I should discuss it with both of them.

Only if the ministers of the ministry are clear about it.

"Here, I'll go and invite you, old slave." Eunuch An went to invite someone himself, and there were only two brothers, Li Yu, left in the royal study.

"Why is your brother so anxious?" King Han glanced at his brother and couldn't help but smile.

"My dear brother, please don't laugh. Such a big thing certainly requires more thought." Li Yu rolled his eyes at King Han, "You are so cool. This seat is not easy to sit on."

"Brother Imperial, I am just a fool to see that banditry is prevalent in a state and the people are suffering. Brother Imperial, as the leader of a country, it is the right thing to choose a capable person and send some soldiers, horses, money and food to clean up the place. Why are you anxious?"

"King Han felt that some of the authorities in Li Yu were confused. There was nothing to be anxious about about what he had to do now. As for the future, Sun Yu also said that we should wait for the opportunity to act. What is waiting for the opportunity to act? It means to take action when there is an opportunity.

If you have a chance, just keep the status quo. Now that you haven't even written your horoscope yet, you are starting to feel anxious. So what should you do?

"What the wise brother said is true. I was almost confused. I just followed what the wise brother said. I couldn't bear the hardship of the people in Jianzhou, so I prepared to clean up the place and rectify the government." Li Yu was also a smart master. As soon as King Han reminded him, he suddenly realized

.Besides, what happened one day, and when the north asked, they just excused themselves as being lax in their governance.

"My dear nephew, why do you want to go to such a dangerous place?" Outside the palace, Grand Tutor Zhou Zong asked Sun Yu who was about to say goodbye. What's wrong with being here in Jiangning? Why do you have to fight for your life?

"Uncle, my nephew just wants to do something for the world." Sun Yu said without hesitation.

"Hey, your father is the only son of yours. If something happens to you and your relationship ends, how will you explain it to your father?" I thought that I was close friends with the old Duke of Lu back then, so I couldn't help but give a few more words of advice.

"I miss my father's soul in heaven, and he doesn't want me to live a life of obedience, otherwise he would not die in a foreign land." Sun Yu thought, if his father was willing to endure hardships, he would be able to live until now.

"Hey, it's up to you. If you can find me useful, you might as well come and find me." Taifu Zhou Zong stopped trying to persuade him. Everyone had their own ambitions, so they boarded the carriage and drove away.
