"I want to go and see!" Duan Yu gently patted the battle report on the table with one hand, leisurely fascinated, as if his mind had already flown to the south of the Yangtze River where the grass was flying.
"Your Majesty!" The two courtiers standing next to him were obviously shocked. Nearly fifty years old, Zhu Danchen, who was still dressed as a scribe, had not had time to speak, and the other servant had already used his unique sharp voice. Exclaimed: "This is absolutely impossible!"
"Oh?" Duan Yu smiled slightly, and looked at the hostess: "Why is it so terrible? Mr. Dong gave me some points?"
"Your Majesty, you should call yourself'I'", the Dong's surname was treated internally, and loudly corrected: "The important affairs of the court should be discussed by the court. The Song Dynasty defeated the Jinren, and the Marquis of Shanzhang has personally gone to the Song Dynasty a few days ago. Circumstances, Your Majesty..."
"It seems that General Manager Dong didn't understand what I meant." Duan Yu smiled: "I just feel that I haven't been out for a long time to walk around. I feel a little boring and panic, so I'm just thinking about moving quietly, and it has nothing to do with national affairs!"
"That's even worse!" Dong Neidai yelled out without hesitation in his sharp voice: "Shan Chan Hou had an explanation long before he left. The emperor's words and deeds are related to a country's society. Don't take it lightly, your majesty. If you want to go out and relax, you should wait for Shan Chan Hou to return, and then discuss and decide with Lord Hou!"
"Dong Deyu", Zhu Danchen, who was standing by, couldn't listen, and shouted sharply: "You are full of the words'Shan Chan Hou', but there is still a little bit of your Majesty in your heart?!"
"Humph", Dong Deyu's chin was slightly raised, but he said without letting go: "Master Zhu is too serious. The old slave is in charge of the master's daily life. He is just a slave at the command of others. He is good at explaining Hou Guozhi. Pilgrim, entrusting all the important affairs of the family and the country to the good interpreter, it is your majesty himself! The old slave still remembers that since the three years of Nissin, his majesty has issued an edict, "all the ministers and officials who are indecisive, learn to be good. Chan Hou listens to advance and stops', the old slave relayed Shan Chan Hou's words, and he also acted in accordance with the will of his majesty. What's wrong?!"
"You..." Zhu Danchen glared at him, but was speechless for a while.
Since ancient times, the land of Nanzhao has been the separation of tribes. In the late Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Central Plains dynasty was unable to take care of this southwestern border land. By the time of the Five Dynasties, there were Zheng, Yang, Zhao, Dong, Gao, and Duan. These six surnames all have land and soldiers. Later, although Duan Siping, the ancestor of the Duan clan, took advantage of the chaos and conquered the other surnames and became the emperor of the country, the powers of the other surnames, except for the Zheng clan, are here. During the first process, most of the forces were still retained, especially the Gao family and the Yang family.
The Gao family and the Yang family competed for power over the court. The generations refused to give up. When the emperor inherited and became the emperor of Germany, the Yang family saw the power of the Gao family gradually increase, and slowly it was beyond its ability to compare. At that time, Yang Yizhen, the head of the Yang family, took the risk and killed the Guang'an Emperor Duan Lianyi and became the king. Later, it was all the power of the Gao family that led the army to regain the position. It was the power of the Gao family to This is another big increase. Even the ordinary Li people in Dali know that Dali is a country that "dunes and highs share the world."
As for Gao Zhisheng, a good interpreter of the previous generation, he was so powerful that the Emperor Duan had become a decoration, and he was almost about to play a trick of concession and become an emperor's addiction.
"Oh, Brother Gao," Zhu Danchen sighed softly in his heart: "Could it be that what a cheerful man, in front of family and power, will eventually have to change his face?!"
The current head of the Gao family, the current Shanchan Hou Gao Shengtai, is a few years older than their four main ministers. When they were young, they also practiced martial arts together, drank together, fought together, and discussed the life and death brothers of women together. Zhu Danchen clearly knew that this tall brother was not as powerful as his father. Even when he had not been renewed as the head of the family, their tall brother had been in front of them many times. I have never complained about his father's domineering behavior in the court, but now...
Zhu Danchen smiled bitterly and shook his head. He is also a member of the big family, so he can naturally understand the reason for Gao Shengtai's change.
Maybe things are always like this in the world. The vast majority of people can only go up and down with the times, involuntarily, and can really act recklessly. There are only a few lucky ones.
Just like Duan Yu, the new emperor of Dali Kingdom, since childhood, whether he was the prince of Zhennan or now after he became the emperor, he seems to be like this kind of dangling appearance now, never really righteous. after.
But fortunately, he has such a personality. If he changes to a promising man who is determined to govern, I am afraid that he will have a life and death with Gao Shengtai.
"Neither of you should be excited." Duan Yu laughed: "I just want to go out and walk quietly. We arrive in Song Kingdom after Shan Chan Hou, and we will come back before Shan Chan Hou, Shan Chan Hou may not know. of."
"That's not okay." Dong Deyu lowered his head, hiding his contemptuous eyes at Duan Yu with great difficulty, and said: "Before Shan Chan Hou left, he repeatedly explained that during his departure, the guards in Dali City were empty. Your Majesty is concerned about safety, and I sincerely implore your Majesty not to leave the ban. What's more, your Majesty still wants to go to the south of Song State in person. The mountains and rivers are far away. This is true... It is too embarrassing for old slaves."
"Dali Duan's family is really exhausted, and there is such an ambitious Huangkou Ruzi as the king." Seeing the performance of the Nissin emperor Duan Yu, Dong Deyu couldn't help but despise it a little bit more in his heart: "Gai De Hou Before he left, he repeatedly confessed that he should pay close attention to his every move. It is indeed Hou that he was too cautious!"
Gao Shengtai was in charge of the dynasty alone. It was already not a day or two. As early as when the Yang Yizhen rebellion occurred, the Gao family held the position of Xiangguo in Dali for generations. When Gao Shengtai’s father Gao Zhisheng was in charge, the Gao family was one. The power of the gate was even more extreme. At that time, even the people of Dali called it "Gao Guozhu" in private. Dali had five cities, eight palaces and four prefectures and 37 branches, most of which were controlled by the Gao clan until Gao Shengtai took over as the head of the family. Because of the friendship with the four great ministers who were loyal to the Duan clan when he was young, it was also to ease the suspicion of the other courtiers about the dominance of the Gao clan. This allowed the four great ministers and other foreign surnames to take over some of the more insignificant places, but There is no doubt that the Gao clan still holds the military power of the Dali regime firmly in their hands. Although Duan Yu is nominally the emperor of Dali, in addition to the four loyal ministers who Zhizheng can control, there are only one of the few monk soldiers of the Duan family owned by the transcendent Tianlong Temple.
Although the Dong family once belonged to a prominent family in Dali, it has long since fallen, and even stood on the wrong team in the treason of Yang Yizhen, so that Dong Deyu was punitively cleansed at an early age and entered the palace to perform low-ranking duties. After several decades Ups and downs, climbed to the big tree of Gao Zhisheng, only then can he become the chief of the inner court, acting as an eye and eye for the Gao family to monitor the Emperor Duan.
However, the Japanese emperor really has no good supervision. Dong Deyu has also been considered as emperor for three generations. Although the first two dare not take any actions with the Gao clan in power, they are often self-depressed and have annoyances, but they do. Yes, but the Japanese emperor seems to have enjoyed such a state since he became the throne.
As early as when he had just ascended the throne, the Japanese emperor was anxious to hand over the affairs of the government to Shanzhenghou. He didn’t do his job every day, and his followers and concubines did not know what tricks he was doing. He just wanted to be content. For joy, even with the exception of the upper dynasty, even the emperor should never mention the word "zhen", which can be said to be less than human.
Dong Deyu has been staring at him for so many years. The most extraordinary thing the Nissin emperor Duan Yu did was thinking about where to go and make a few laps. Over time, whether Gao Shengtai or Dong Deyu, it has long been a little bit. Relaxed his attention to Duan Yu, and even for his hobby of going out sometimes, occasionally he would fulfill it a few times.
But this time, the Nissin emperor’s thoughts were too whimsical. He actually wanted to go to the south of the Song Dynasty. Dong Deyu didn’t dare to open his mouth. After all, Duan Yu is also the prince of a country in name, and it’s rare. The land paid no attention to the dictatorship of the Gao family, and it could be regarded as a relatively different kind of relationship with Gao Shengtai's emperor. If there is any accident to the Japanese emperor, he is good at returning to the country. After that, I'm afraid he will be stripped of his skin soon.
"Oh?" Duan Yuhu'er looked at Dong Deyu with a solemn face, with a smile on his face: "If I, do I have to go this time?!"
"Uh", although Dong Deyu was stunned by Duan Yu's sudden change of tone and address, he still replied with his own tone: "Shan Chan Hou had already explained..."
"Shan Chan Hou, and Shan Chan Hou", Duan Yu slowly stood up, his eyes like electricity, and looked at Dong Deyu: "If I want to go wherever you are, you will be your old slave, or yours. Can Shan Chan Hou really stop it?!"
Both Zhu Danchen and Dong Deyu were shocked by the duan's reputation that seemed to be changed in an instant.
When Dong Deyu and Duan Yu's eyes touched, they couldn't help but feel slightly cold all over, lowered their heads, and said, "Old slaves dare not!"
Only then did he remember that the martial arts of the Duan clan in Dali was prestigious in Tiannan, and the Japanese emperor in front of him had become the supreme martial arts of the Duan clan in Dali in the legend. The new emperor acted like a dude in front of him, and he didn't even make people aware of his horror.
But he thought of the forces behind him, thought of the power and prestige of Shanzhanghou, his waist became self-hardened, and he said: "If your majesty wants to leave the palace, the old slave will naturally not dare to stop, nor can he stop it, but outside the hall, In the imperial city, there are still five thousand forbidden troops, always ready to die for your majesty’s safety, and please think twice!"
"Hahaha" Duan Yu looked up to the sky and smiled: "What a five thousand forbidden army, Dong Deyu, where are you my chief and my servant, but you really think that these five thousand forbidden army are as many as you are. Want to be a servant of Shan Chan Hou, a dog of Shan Chan Hou?!"
"Your Majesty!" Zhu Danchen and Dong Deyu exclaimed together.
Dong Deyu was eager to explain in fear, while Zhu Danchen was anxious and angry when Duan Yu said it.
The power of Dali is now in the hands of good interpreters. Although Duan Yu is nominally the lord of Dali, he is actually no more than a prisoner in beautiful clothes. If Gao Shengtai knows his words today, even if he dare not be brazen. Carrying the name of slaying kings on his back, I am afraid that Duan Yu's life in the future will definitely not be better.
"Come in!" Duan Yu ignored them, raising his voice and shouted.
With a squeak, the hall door opened, and several military commanders with bright armor walked in. Zhu Danchen understood something for a while, and exclaimed in surprise and joy: "Guo brother, brother Xi, nephew Fu Xian , Why are you here?!"
"Your Majesty," those generals nodded slightly to Zhu Danchen, but all bowed to Duan Yu: "The subordinates have been in accordance with your majesty's will to condemn the sudden ill health of Gao Ming. His family has taken good care of him. All the eight prefectures except Huichuan and one prefecture, and the four counties except Shicheng and one prefecture, have been temporarily taken over by candidates designated by His Majesty. The defense affairs of the Xiangguofu, which is good in Dali city, has been taken over by his subordinates. The thirty-seven branches of the four prefectures of the Fu have...
"It's over!" Before listening to the next long talk by the generals, Dong Deyu felt that his feet were soft and almost collapsed to the ground.
Since the suppression of the Yang’s rebellion, the eight residences of Dali have been given the position of Jiedu from the Gao clan. It was inherited from generation to generation until Gao Shengtai took over as the head of the family. Only when Gao Shengtai took over, did the most remote Huichuan one allow the Duan’s clan Duan Ping to take over. Of the four counties, only Shicheng County is in charge of the Duan’s retainers. Now listening to this report, Dong Deyu already knows that the Rixin Emperor, who looks like a dude, has finally launched a counterattack, and the shot is so cruel and so spicy, it looks like The situation was completely reversed all at once.
The Shanchang Mansion is also a fief maintained by the Gao clan. Most of the important elders in the Gao clan settled in Shanchan, and the remaining half, who moved into the imperial city of Dali with the Patriarch of the Gao clan, were also in the Xiangguo Mansion. In these two places, it can be said that the foundation of Gao's family was held in Duan Yu's hands.
"Your Majesty, this... this...", Zhu Danchen suddenly thought he was dreaming.
They belong to the Zhu family. Since Duan Siping and Longxing Dali, they have been following by their side. After the front and the horse, they regarded themselves as retainers. Afterwards, the Yang family and Gao’s power ministers rose up. They naturally felt unhappy about the old master, but they just couldn’t return to heaven. But he never thought that one day, such a scene would actually appear in front of him alive.
"Uncle Zhu, I will explain this to you later." Duan Yu waved to Zhu Danchen, but his face was still faintly smiling, not ecstatic.
The Duan clan in Dali is also one of the long-standing families. It has been established for a hundred years and has more than ten generations of kings, regardless of whether they are virtuous or unscrupulous. At least they can sympathize with the people and rest with the people, winning the hearts of the people of Dali.
The Yang family's rebellion is just too much to guard against, and the Gao family who took the opportunity to take advantage of the Yang family's rebellion to take advantage of the big, want to control the Dali rivers and mountains for a long time, or even act on behalf of the emperor, it would be a little overwhelming.
Duan Yu’s previous emperors, although due to the high momentum of the Gao clan for a while, Dali has just been through the Yang clan’s chaos and has not recovered in time, so they have been unbearable, but in private, they still cultivated a huge Potential power.
To talk about the long history, the Duan family is not under the Gao family, it must be fair. The Duan family is the upright Dali monarch. To talk about the reputation among the people, the Gao family who has gained power on the table is always better than the long time. Duan is much worse.
The wrong thing is that the public opinion cannot be violated. How could Gao Zhisheng, who had already consciously held power at the time, resisted the impulse of adding his dragon robe to his death, and dared not force Duan Zhengming to yield to the throne.
By the time of Duan Yu, all the predecessors had been in business for a long time, and it was a matter of course. What was lacking was just an opportunity.
It is rare that Shan Chan Hou took the initiative to leave Dali and go to Song Kingdom after receiving the battle report. This was naturally a good time for Duan Yu to do it.
Although from the bottom of his heart, he really didn't want to use this hand.
But just as Gao Shengtai had no choice, is it possible that, as the royal family of the Duan clan, who is the lord of the contemporary Dali kingdom, does he have other choices? !
Duan Yu smiled bitterly, and said to Zhu Danchen: "Uncle Zhu, let's talk about all this on the road, you should go and prepare first, we will set off at dawn and rush to the Song Dynasty!"
"What?" Zhu Danchen hadn't recovered from the impact of the scene before him, and raised his head in amazement: "Your Majesty is really going to the Song Dynasty?!"
"Of course" Duan Yu laughed blankly: "Uncle Zhu thought I was joking?!"
"But... this..." Zhu Danchen didn't know how to say it for a while. Just now he clashed with Dong Deyu, but he was dissatisfied with his attitude of not seeing Duan Yu in his eyes, but it did not mean that he agreed with Duan Yu to go to Song Dynasty. Move.
Dali is a remote place in the southern part of the sky. Since the founding of the country, the central forces have been squeezing each other endlessly. They are surrounded by strong neighbors. They have always been more than enough and not enterprising. Therefore, they have always pursued a policy of seclusion and self-preservation, although they have always treated Dasong. , New Years and the time to pay tribute, the song is the tribute of the vassal kingdom, but this kind of move by the master of a country to go to the Song Dynasty has never happened.
Especially now is the time when Song Dynasty defeated the Golden Man, and the world is facing a new turbulent time. At this time, the most important thing for a small country in Dali should be calm observation, but it should never act rashly at this time.
Originally Gao Shengtai wanted to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty, Zhu Danchen felt a little wrong. After all, when the Song people defeated the Jin people, it was understandable as the Dali condemnation envoy of the country, but Gao Shengtai should hold the authority of the country. Shan Chan Hou went to the Song Dynasty, Zhu Danchen always felt that there were some other articles in it, but he couldn't intervene in the court at that time, so he had never said it.
But now Duan Yu is going to the Song Dynasty again, which really makes Zhu Danchen confused.
In other words, the Gao clan is also deeply ingrained, and has been in control of the country for decades. The so-called centipede is dead but not stiff. At this critical juncture, Duan Yu, the new emperor of Dali, does not stay in Dali. Stabilize the hearts of the people and win over all the family officials and officials other than the Gao clan, but what are they going to do in the Song Dynasty? !
Isn't it true that you really want to go and play? !
Just now, Zhu Danchen would still believe in Duan Yu’s reason, but after seeing Duan Yu’s methods just now, he suddenly felt a deep sense of strangeness for the Japanese emperor who he grew up with. .
Perhaps a family, or even a family and country, can't be changed no matter what.
"Your Majesty," Zhu Danchen said with a wry smile: "If your Majesty wants to go to the Song Dynasty in person, you still need to inform the Sifang Pavilion of the Song Dynasty, there are also a series of ceremonial halogen books, and you need to..."
"Uncle Zhu misunderstood what I meant." Duan Yu quickly raised his hand to stop Zhu Danchen's long talk. Although Dali is a small country, he still admires Sinicization, especially when dealing with Song Dynasty, a country of self-proclaimed orthodox etiquette. The ceremony can be so annoying that people can't finish reading for days and nights. It will be high enough for Shengtai to go back and forth between the two countries several times after finishing this set. He looked at Zhu Danchen and said with a smile: "It's just you. Me, starry night, fast horse, set off tonight!"
"Your Majesty, this is..." Zhu Danchen looked at Duan Yu suspiciously.
"This is to save my nation's luck in Dali," Duan Yu sighed slightly and said to Zhu Danchen: "Uncle Zhu knows what Shan Chan Hou is going to do in Song Dynasty?!"
Duan Yu pulled out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Zhu Danchen.
As soon as the situation in the middle of the country was settled, he knew it was not the time to leave, but now he had to go.
Others may think that the Song people are weak, but he knows deeply what kind of heroes have ever lived in the land of Song Dynasty!
If you want to get lucky, you go to Song Country to get a piece of the pie. You are also smart for half a lifetime. How can you get confused about this trivial matter? !
Perhaps Shan Chan Hou is not confused, but he has played too many small abacus, and he has played too well. Perhaps he thinks this is a good opportunity to gamble.
But no matter whether you are a Dali monarch or an ordinary member born in Dali, you must never allow a good time for the destiny of thousands of people in Dali as a private residence for his family and surname. This is a huge bet.
If it hadn't been for Shan Chan Hou to make such a decision, would he not want to do it so quickly? !
"Oh!" Duan Yu sighed softly. In fact, he has not been interested in governing the country for a long time. In these years, in fact, half of his failure to do business is deceit, but half of it is instinct.
It's a pity that I still carry a family and a country on my body.
But anyway, I am finally going to Dasong and Jiangnan again.
Duan Yu pressed his hand on the edge of the window and looked out.
The sky in southern Yunnan is still rainy as before, and now the heavy rain is beginning to clear, and there is hazy fog everywhere.
He is no longer the young man who was in the wind in Yushu. Although Dali is a small border country, as a monarch, although his face has not changed much, he has to grow a beard. Between the moments and the actions, he looked like a man of power and dignity.
But no matter what it looked like, how could he forget the past and all that happened in the southern country.
The fish in Songhe Tower, the water in Wuxi, the people in the apricot forest, and the bag of spirits in front of Shaolin Temple...
"Shan Chan Hou, Uncle Gao", Duan Yu sighed secretly in his heart: "This trip to the Song Dynasty may be the last chance I will give you! How would you choose?!"
