"Guan family, Mr. Feng wants to see you!" Liu Chengyou didn't let Liu Chengyou hang around for long, and the servants in Chui Gong Palace came to report in a hurry.
Outside the palace, with the cold wind blowing and his mind clear, Liu Chengyou originally wanted to summon Feng Dao and have a "discussion" with the emperor and his ministers in the winter wind. However, thinking that the old fox was old and afraid that he would freeze his body, he decided to The interest that arose was suppressed.
As soon as I quickly returned to the palace, I felt a rush of warmth. I untied the fur robe that was wrapped around me. A waiter immediately took it and took it away to put away.
"Old Minister Feng Dao, please see——" Feng Dao, who saw Liu Chengyou sipping the royal tea, stood up quickly and bowed politely.
Liu Chengyou raised his hand to interrupt and signaled to him: "Feng Qing, no courtesy."
Even though the north wind was blowing outside the temple and it was very cool, when I got back indoors, I still leaned against the stove as a habit. Inside the stove, there was a charcoal fire burning quietly, and the fire was quite strong. I added spices, put my hands close together, and roasted it. After a while, my hands, which were a little stiff from the cold, became much more flexible.
"It's freezing cold, Feng Qing should take care of yourself!" Liu Chengyou casually greeted Feng Dao.
The emperor was so concerned that Feng Daolao's face immediately showed gratitude. He naturally looked moved and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
Seeing the old fox hunched over and waiting there, looking very hard, Liu Chengyou immediately waved his hand: "Feng Qing, please sit down!"
Liu Chengyou stood, but Feng Dao dared not sit down. He shook his head and insisted on abiding by the etiquette of a minister. Seeing this, Liu Chengyou had no choice but to return to the throne, and Feng Dao sat down respectfully.
"I wonder what your Majesty's orders are for your ministers?" Feng Dao asked about business.
"The prince of Huaiyang County opened the palace, and the queen mother was worried and wanted to choose a prince for him. The matter fell on me. The royal family is not rich in blood, and I am just a younger brother. Although he left the palace independently, he is still young and has an unstable temperament. You need to be disciplined by a strict teacher..." Liu Chengyou didn't waste any words and directly stated his intention.
Not long ago, with the permission of the Queen Mother, Liu Chengyou officially released the emperor's younger brother Liu Chengxun from the palace and named him Prince of Huaiyang County, leading Huainan Yin from a distance. Even a title could not hide Liu Chengyou's agitated heart.
For Liu Chengxun, Liu Chengyou showed great importance. He assigned all the subordinate officials to the Huaiyang Prince's Palace to assist him in studying and practicing martial arts. He also controlled a group of elite soldiers from the He Army to act as guards for the palace. Right now, there was only one missing. The general leader is a great instructor.
To put it unluckily, if anything happens to Liu Chengyou, given the current situation, the one who can succeed him is none other than Liu Chengxun.
On this issue, Prime Minister Yang Bin committed another big taboo. He actually asked for orders and was willing to teach Liu Chengxun personally. This made the taboo in Liu Chengyou's heart, which had been slightly relieved, reach its peak again, and it was not directed at the ignorant boy Liu Chengxun. , which is aimed at Yang Bin.
But now, when Feng Dao heard what he said, he murmured in his heart. Listening to the emperor's intention, it seemed that he wanted him to teach Liu Chengxun? The old fox quickly thought about the pros and cons...
However, I soon heard Liu Chengyou say: "Feng Qing has always been known as a veteran in this world. He is a talented person. Can anyone recommend him?"
Hearing this, Feng Dao realized that he was overthinking. He met Liu Chengyou's gaze, thought carefully for a while, and answered with his hands raised: "Li Song, a scholar of Jixian Palace, served in the Tang Dynasty and Jin Dynasty, and reached the position of Prime Minister. With reputation and merit, what do you think, Your Majesty?"
Li Song, Liu Chengyou chewed on this name. For such a long time, Liu Chengyou also had some understanding of these former Jin Dynasty ministers, including this Li Song.
Especially in the previous case of Su Fengji, when his crime was investigated, there was a real estate conflict between this gentleman and Su Fengji. After Su Fengji was demoted, Liu Chengyou also took the initiative to return his residence in the two capitals to Li Song.
Li Song, in terms of literary talent, may not be considered astonishing. There were many people in the world who could surpass him. However, this person had an extremely rich resume. He had served as many officials, officials in states and towns, three departments and six ministries, and a court scholar. , Tired to the prime minister, it can be said that he has rich experience in serving as an official.
In the former Jin Dynasty, he was at the peak of his official career. Even when he was promoted to Yelu Deguang, he was treated well. However, since he returned to the Han Dynasty, his bad luck began to turn, although the court always rewarded old ministers like him. The official position was supported. He had offended Su Fengji before and was almost persecuted. Since then, he has been living in the Jixian Hall, under Su Yugui.
"Among the Jin officials who were rescued in the battle of Luancheng, he must be one of them!" Liu Chengyou asked casually after thinking about it.
"That's right. Speaking of which, Your Majesty still has a favor for living with Academician Li!" Feng Dao said with a smile.
"When the former Khitan master entered Tokyo, among the ministers he received from the Jin Dynasty, only Feng Qing and Li Song were the most favored. Being ranked alongside Feng Qing, I have some confidence in their talents!" Liu Chengyou said slowly.
Hearing Liu Chengyou's words, Feng Dao's heart tightened. Based on his understanding of the emperor, he must not have taken the wrong aim. Why did he mention the Khitan matter? Could it be that he had any views on the "ministers who surrendered to Liao"?
Thinking of this, Feng Dao carefully changed his tone: "I also admire Li Song's talent very much. There is no perfect person in the world. He just knows people's vision, and occasionally he is hindered."

"Is Feng Qing referring to Shi Jingtang? Du Chongwei?" Liu Chengyou said.
"Your Majesty is so smart that I admire you!" Feng Dao praised.
Shi Jingtang came out to control Hedong, and Du Chongwei led his troops to fight against the Liao Dynasty. Both of them were strongly recommended by Li Song. Although it may be due to the current situation and national conditions at that time, judging from the results, the collapse of the Tang and Jin Dynasties was both related to Shi. The two of them have a great relationship.
Automatically blocking his compliments, Liu Chengyou thought of something else and said: "Li Ao and Li Yu, who are under investigation in Luoyang, must be his brothers!"
On the way back from the Western Expedition, when he stopped in Luoyang, Liu Chengyou dealt with a group of officials who had violated the law, and Er Li was among them, and he was regarded as a model.
After hearing what he said, Feng Dao finally came to his senses and said: "If your Majesty has any concerns, as the king of Huaiyang County, just choose another good teacher. There are many talents in the court. Li Huan, a Hanlin scholar, has outstanding literary talent and knowledge. Accessible…”
Li Huan is the younger brother of Prime Minister Li Tao.
"Just choose Li Song!" Liu Chengyou suddenly raised his hand and ordered to the left and right: "Let Tao Gu draw up the plan and make Li Song the Tutor of the King of Huaiyang!"
"yes!"
After solving a problem, Liu Chengyou felt a little more relaxed. He looked at Feng Dao and asked, "Is there anything new under Zhongshu's sect?"
"Just as I was about to report back to Your Majesty, the Daming Mansion reported that King Linqing has been killed as Zhang Peng, deputy envoy of the German Army!" Feng Dao observed Liu Chengyou's expression and replied carefully.
Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Liu Chengyou frowned deeply and murmured to himself with an indescribable emotion: "How come they are all deputy envoys of the same town!"
"Have you ever found out why you killed him?" Liu Chengyou asked, "I want to hear the truth!"
After a flash of hesitation, Feng Dao still answered honestly: "Zhang Peng ridiculed King Linqing with his 'surrender to Liao'!"
