"Your Majesty, after the front, it is the land of the Song Dynasty", Zhu Danchen rushed a few steps forward, walked side by side with Duan Yu, and said: "It's getting late now, shall we rest here first tonight? Hurry up tomorrow!"
"No," Duan Yu raised his head, looked at the sky, turned his head and said, "There are no stars and moons tonight, just in time!"
"Your Majesty..." Zhu Danchen yelled, as if he wanted to say something, but he was still hesitant to say something and didn't say anything.
"Uncle Zhu, now only you and me, there is really no need to stick to these so-called monarch and ministers." Duan Yu also slowed down and said with a smile: "If you have something in your heart, you might as well say it clearly, but No need to hold it in your stomach!"
"The minister dare not", Zhu Danchen still bowed immediately, and then continued: "It's just that the minister is stupid. He still thinks that your majesty is the body of ten thousand gold. You should wait for a while, and wait for the situation of the Song Dynasty. Clearly, if there is any news coming, and then rushing away, it is the perfect solution!"
"Uncle Zhu has already read the letter?" Duan Yu turned around, frowned slightly, and then suddenly said with a smile: "Could it be that Uncle Zhu still thinks that the things in the letter are too unbelievable, and it's really unreasonable. letter?!"
"Exactly," Zhu Danchen replied: "The letter said that the emperor of the Song Dynasty was a fake official. It is already unbelievable. It is mixed with the ridiculousness of moving souls and giving birth to birth. This kind of remarks, weird power and confusion, what the son does not say, this kind of thing will come out, I am afraid that even the village slang people will not take it too seriously, as your majesty, if it is just because of these words, he will not hesitate to enter the Song Dynasty. The officials thought it was worthless to commit a personal risk!"
Zhu Danchen’s remarks have been held in his heart for several days. In fact, since Duan Yu ordered that day to set off with him on the starry night and rushed to Da Song in secret, he has always wanted to find an opportunity to persuade him to stay here. The new emperor of the day.
Although Zhu Danchen was really taken aback when he first saw the letter that day, but from the beginning, he never thought that he would choose to believe the thing in the letter.
Although Dali is located in the southern part of Tiannan and keeps in seclusion, for so many years, it has been deeply influenced by the rites and principles of the Central Plains dynasty. It has long been no different from the Central Plains dynasty. The book of the book, for the kind of inverted and absurd language described in the letter, which is close to the legend of the gods and demons, really has an attitude of contempt at the beginning.
If it weren’t for being named at the end of the letter, it would have been Qin Hui and Qin Xianggong who had been the prime minister of the Song Dynasty for more than ten years, and Dali Junior High has also verified that this letter was indeed by Qin Hui. I am afraid that no one would treat such an incomprehensible letter as the same thing.
"In fact, I don't know how much this matter is true or false." Duan Yu never spoke in the tone of a monarch when getting along with Zhu Danchen. He just said indifferently: "But Has Uncle Zhu ever thought, if this matter is as absurd and unreasonable as Uncle Zhu said, how can the city, who is good at explaining the marquis, choose to let go of everything immediately after receiving this letter? Hurrying to Song Dynasty overnight?!"
"This minister doesn't know." Although Duan Yu's question was a bit sudden, Zhu Danchen had an answer long ago. He replied: "However, the minister thinks that it is precisely because Shan Chenhou's reaction is a bit too quick to be too strange. , Your Majesty should not take risks personally when the situation is unknown at this time!"
"Oh?" Duan Yu smiled slightly and asked with great interest: "What does Uncle Zhu say?!"
"As your Majesty said, he is good at explaining the parallel affairs of Housheng and he is by no means like a savage person. Although the things mentioned in that letter are bizarre, they are really of great importance. Whether it is true or not, I am afraid that Song Above the court of the country, it is inevitable that there will be a wave!" Zhu Danchen frowned and slowly analyzed.
"Doesn't Uncle Zhu think that this is the reason why the two of us have to travel day and night to rush to the Song Dynasty?!" Duan Yu looked at Zhu Danchen and was slightly surprised: "If I don't show up to stop Shan Chan Hou, wouldn't it? Don’t let Shan Chan Hou drag the entire Dali into this vortex?!"
"Since I was founded in Dali, I have always been self-sufficient and self-sufficient. No matter how turbulent the Song Dynasty is, why do you wait for me?!" Zhu Danchen reined his horse, frozen his figure, looked at Duan Yu, and yelled eagerly. Said: "Your Majesty, the root of what I am waiting for is basically not in the Song Dynasty, but at the feet!"
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Nanzhao tribes have been guarding the southwestern border. Although they have always regarded the Central Plains as their vassals, their internal affairs and diplomacy are all self-contained and independent of the Central Plains. Since the ancestors of the Duan family won the country during the five generations, they have always pursued the national policy of retreat, self-sufficiency and self-sufficiency.
Although Dali is a small state in the southwest, the borderline man has always been known for his bravery. In addition to the southwest, the weather is very different from the Central Plains and the Northwest. For those who are unfamiliar, the southwest is wild. The land can be described as severe everywhere, aggressive or inadequate, but it is more than enough to protect yourself.
Especially since the Five Dynasties, although the Song Dynasty has owned the Central Plains and claimed to be orthodox, it has always had to face the reality that the world has never truly reproduced the old views of Han and Tang, the Liao of the past, the gold of today, and According to the Xixia Dangxiang clan in the Northwest for nearly a hundred years, they have joined each other and attacked countlessly. Naturally, no one has the interest and the strength to deal with Dali, the southwest kingdom that has always been reclusive and self-defense.
Therefore, in Zhu Danchen's opinion, when facing the battle report sent after the Song and Jin battle, whether it is a good explanation or the Japanese emperor in front of him, the reaction is a little bit fierce. It felt a bit weird to him.
The battle between Song and Jin, strong and weak, will inevitably affect the overall situation of the world. Of course, Zhu Danchen can see clearly, but no matter how turbulent the world is, Song, Jin, and Xixia stand in their own right and contain each other. It can't be changed in a short time, so no matter how tragic the offensive between Song and Jin is, it will not have much impact on the self-defense of Dali.
With Dali’s current national strength, it was originally more than conserved and less enterprising. What's more, Dali has been able to achieve peace for more than a hundred years, and has inherited the prosperous trade of the Song Dynasty. Nowadays, it can be said to be rich in goods and people, rich in assets, and govern the people , They have long liked to live in peace and hate to fight. If there is an invasion by foreign enemies, they will naturally move forward desperately to resist foreign insults, but if they are to expand outward due to the ambitions of those in power, I am afraid that there is not much. People will drive and die willingly.
Therefore, a courtier like Zhu Danchen has always thought that no matter how the great powers are united, Dali should still sit on the sidelines and try not to let himself be involved. This is what Dali should do. Although a battle between the Song and Jin Dynasties had a great impact on the overall situation of the world, it was not so serious that it forced Dali to change his state policy of retreat that had lasted for more than a hundred years in response to this battle.
The reason why Zhu Danchen would endure to say these words until today is only because the series of events that happened in that short period of time were really too shocking and too sudden.
Hou Anran, who has always been cautious and good at explaining things, would quietly enter the Song Dynasty for such absurd reasons. The Japanese emperor, who has always been a little weak and incompetent, suddenly showed a thunderous side. This is really a little bit that made Zhu Danchen feel at a loss for a while. .
Especially before that, Zhu Danchen considered himself a first-class figure who had always been loyal to the royal family of the Duan family. However, before Duan Yu suddenly launched this time, he hadn't even noticed any clues, which also made Zhu Danchen uncomfortable. It’s not that I can’t believe everything he knew before, so in the past few days, even though he didn’t understand, he still followed Duan Yu’s orders because he really felt that he I can no longer understand the Nissin emperor who has been watching and growing up in front of me, and I can no longer understand what the Nissin emperor is thinking in his heart.
It is not a day to be good at explaining the Hou Gao family, specializing in authoritarianism in Dali. Its power is intertwined and penetrates into all parts of Dali. This Japanese emperor is silent, just like this suddenly. Initiating, he almost uprooted this Shan Chan Hou's line. The depth of his mind and the decisiveness in his handling of matters made Zhu Danchen, who had read the letter, almost suspected that it was not that who had been moved by others. What is the emperor official of the Song Dynasty, but the Japanese emperor Duan Yu.
It is precisely because of this that, although Zhu Danchen has always had doubts in his heart in the past few days, he dare not speak out, because he is no longer sure whether the Japanese emperor has any other calculations, or even It is already uncertain whether this Japanese emperor is here to go, whether he really wants to sneak into the Song Dynasty himself!
Only when he saw that he was about to enter the realm of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhu Danchen finally couldn't help it, and he still opened his mouth to say this.
After all, no matter how many tactics the Nissin emperor had he could not think of, but this time he went to Song Kingdom by taking the risk personally, but it was still too risky!
Although at this moment, Zhu Danchen still refused to believe that the things mentioned in the letter would be true, but when it was confirmed that the letter was indeed sent by Da Song Quanxiang Qin Hui, this letter It doesn't really matter whether the words in the letter are true or not!
Zhu Danchen did not understand why Qin Hui would choose to issue such a letter at such a time, but he understood that it meant that Qin Hui had completely torn his face between Qin Hui and the emperor of the Song Dynasty. , Seeing it is an endless situation.
That Qin Hui held the power over the Great Song Dynasty for more than ten years. Over the years, he has been monopolizing power, and the party is the same. The influence has spread throughout the court and the opposition. He even said that he stood behind all the current civil officials of the Song Dynasty. I'm afraid It is not too exaggerated, and the current emperor official of the Song Dynasty, although he has always been regarded as mediocre and cowardly, but it depends on him since this period of time, he first turned the court alone by Qin Hui. The dominant faction advocated peace talks, and led the army to defeat the Jurchen cavalry, which has always been a rare opponent, but it can also be imagined that it is definitely not an easy generation. This time the two people are in front of the situation, it is bound to be unavoidable. A battle between dragons and tigers will inevitably turbulence the entire Great Song Dynasty. No one can guess in advance how large and deep the vortex will affect.
Regarding such conflicts, I can say that it is Dali who has always pursued a policy of retreat and self-preservation. Even Jin Kingdom or Xixia, which can be described as old enemies with Song Dynasty, I am afraid that they will stand on the sidelines with an attitude of prosperous and happy misfortune, rather than just being so stupid. Stupidly involved himself in this bottomless vortex.
Therefore, this time Shan Chan Hou will rush to the Song Dynasty so without thinking, it has already made Zhu Danchen feel very unreasonable, and if Duan Yu, the Japanese emperor slams into the ground so brutally, it really makes As a country of Dali, there is no way to stay out of it.
"Your Majesty!" Zhu Danchen looked at that he had also reined in the place a long time ago, but Duan Yu, who looked towards the sky for a long time, couldn't help but urged a little anxiously.
"Uncle Zhu's remarks are true." Duan Yu turned his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "It's just that this time I will enter the Song Dynasty, I am afraid I can only do it reluctantly, I have to do it!"
"It happened suddenly that day, and Shan Chan Hou's eyes and ears were everywhere on my left and right. In order to prevent things from being secret, I could only keep it from Uncle Zhu all the time." Before Zhu Danchen had time to speak, Duan Yu was already indifferent. He opened his mouth and said: "These days it is starry night on my way again. I haven't been able to find time to explain clearly to Uncle Zhu. Don't make any misunderstandings about Uncle Zhu!"
Zhu Danchen originally wanted to admonish, but he was shocked by Duan Yu's words, and he hurriedly bowed and replied: "I don't dare to subordinates!"
He grew up watching Duan Yu grow up. In the past, the conversations with Duan Yu were often unreasonable, but now he still has some thoughts about this Japanese emperor who suddenly became a little unpredictable. Anxiously, now I can hear Duan Yu mentioning the situation on that day, and his tone is a little weird. There was a chill in his unoriginated heart. In the night breeze, his forehead was already slightly sweaty. .
"Uncle Zhu must not be like this." With Duan Yu's eyesight, Zhu Danchen's reaction was small, but he couldn't escape his eyes. He explained with a wry smile: "I say this because I don't want Uncle Zhu to give birth to me. Come in time."
"My ancestor of the Duan family was promoted by a marginal official due to chance. These years, I have been trembling and dare not slack in the slightest." Duan Yu sighed lightly and said: "It's only after Yang Yizhen's chaos, and no matter how good it is. Chan Hou has controlled the government for two generations, and now I can rely on only the four of you ministers!"
"Your Majesty meant to say..." Zhu Danchen suddenly raised his head and looked at Duan Yu, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
"Not bad." Duan Yu also had a solemn look on his face, and he nodded slowly: "Although this sudden launch seems to have won a great victory, it is nothing more than appearance. The Gao family has always been like this since ancient times. As a prominent family in Nanzhao, coupled with Shan Chan Hou's line of management for generations, the power has long been intertwined, how can it be so easy to be shaken!"
"Uncle Zhu, to be honest, it's not the strength we have today, and it is not enough to compare with the good humility. Even if you are really capable of excluding the good humility, I am afraid that you will have to vote for the mouse and dare not start.", Duan Yu Looking at Zhu Danchen, he sighed again: "This time it's really just taking advantage of Shan Chan Hou's carelessness and taking the risk of a hurry. It's just a fluke!"
Of course, Zhu Danchen understands Duan Yu's meaning. In fact, his Zhu family has been with his confidants since the Duan clan's Longxing Dali. For so many years, he has been close to the Duan clan's monarchs and ministers. Zhu Danchen himself is also a champion and his younger brother. He has been an official in the court for decades. I am afraid he has a better understanding of the political situation in Dali than Duan Yu himself.
It’s just that these days, he was captured by Duan Yu’s courage that day, and he felt that everything he knew about the Japanese emperor was innumerable, and the Japanese emperor didn’t know how much he had concealed. The potential power is based on the judgment that it has not been able to return to the usual for a while.
Now that Duan Yu's statement broke, Zhu Danchen came to understand that Duan Yu that day was probably after seeing Shan Chan Hou quietly leaving, this was only a temporary awakening and a sudden start.
After all, Shan Chan Hou has been in business for several generations, and his power is almost the same as that of the owner, but it is precisely for this reason that among the Gao family, not all are so monolithic. In addition, Duan Yu has been weak in these years. As a result, for a long time, the current Shan Chan Hou Gao Shengtai was trying to guard against the Japanese emperor, who did not look like a man, but from his family, his All sorts of undercurrents and turbulent factions and disputes within the forces.
Gao Shengtai is resolute and decisive, and he is known for his prestige in the family. This makes it easy for him to gather all his strength on weekdays. In Dali, no one can stand up to it, but it is also because of his tasks, no matter how big or small. They all do it by themselves, and almost all power is directly in their own hands. This also causes that once he is not in the Dali country, he will inevitably have some independent governance and it will be difficult to exert the greatest effect if he is not in the country of Dali. Come.
The Japanese emperor in front of him clearly caught the opportunity of Shan Chanhou to leave Yunnan and enter the Song Dynasty so eagerly this time, and did not even properly explain everything else, relying on the four major ministers who have been loyal to him. The division of power disintegrated the power of the Shanzhang Hou line, and even brought the Gao family under control, which seemed to change the situation in the Dali state, temporarily regaining the power in the Dali state.
But how long this situation can last is really something that everyone can't tell.
After all, the reason why Duan Yu can temporarily succeed now is only by taking advantage of the opportunity of Shanchang Hou's line of Junlong without a leader, and using a surprise attack to get out of the city first. The power of Shanchang Hou has not yet caused substantial results. Blow.
The struggle between Gao’s relatives and the foreign surnames in the good narrative of the Hou’s party has never happened. Now Duan Yu has focused his attack on the Gao’s direct parents and children. At the same time, he only adopts a gentle approach. It controls the imprisonment, but has not made great efforts to fight the swordsman. This has inevitably caused many forces that belong to the same party as the Shan Hou. When the Shan Hou has not returned, and temporarily no one can replace Gao Shengtai's position to integrate and command, only I was able to choose a wait-and-see and obedient attitude, but did not jump out at this time and openly confront Duan Yu's royal family.
However, with the power of good interpretation, Duan Yu’s move may be difficult to hide the news. Once Gao Shengtai learns the news and rushes back to Dali, those forces that are now like a piece of scattered sand will stand up as a monolith. If there is a conflict, I am afraid that the fierceness of this storm will not be under the vortex that will happen in the Great Song Dynasty.
"Then your Majesty should step up the operation, and take advantage of the opportunity to return before the good account..." Zhu Danchen's face looked slightly hideous at this time, and he raised his head and said to Duan Yu.
"If I really wanted to do it, I would have done it as early as that day. How could I rush to the starry night with Uncle Zhu and enter the Song Dynasty overnight!" Duan Yu slowly shook his head, stopping Zhu Danchen's words, and said lightly: "In the past, Nanzhao With six surnames, now there are only two families in Duan Gao. With the current trend of being a good man, if I force myself to attack, I am afraid that Dali will no longer be a prosperous country, and there will be no peace!"
"Uncle Zhu was right. Our foundation is right in front of us, right under our feet." Duan Yu looked at Zhu Danchen and said, "For this reason, I shouldn't be self-destructive because of the selfishness of one family and one surname. Otherwise, Even if you are lucky enough to win, what face is there to see thousands of people?!"
"So your Majesty is on the road with his minister Xingye, intending to enter the Song Dynasty quickly?!" Zhu Danchen gradually revealed a clear expression and asked tentatively.
"Not bad," Duan Yu smiled slightly and nodded in response: "No matter how good the lords are in Dali, he will be nothing more than the good lords of my Dali in the territory of the Song Dynasty!"
Although the Gao clan members have been specializing in authority in the Dali kingdom, they have even been called "Gao Guozhu" by the people, but in name, the monarch of the Dali kingdom is still the Duan clan, and the master of the Dali state is still a courtier of the Duan family.
This time the situation in the Song Dynasty is more subtle than that in Dali. If the dispute between the Duan clan in Dali and the good lords and the turbulence of the Da Song Dynasty can be carried out, it will not only avoid the suffering of the living and the people in Dali. Being more innate than Gao Shengtai, Duan Yu occupies a certain advantage.
"It's just that this time Qin Hui's letter was sent to Shan Chan Hou." Zhu Danchen frowned and said in deep thought: "The situation in Song Dynasty is unclear at the moment, if there is a secret agreement between Qin Hui and Shan Chan Hou , Your Majesty is going here, I'm afraid it would be too risky!"
"At this point in the current situation, what is there to say that you should not take risks," Duan Yu said with a dumb smile: "What's more, the situation in Song Dynasty is unclear. For us, it may not be an opportunity!"
"Shan Chan Hou has always admired the scenery of the Central Plains. This time it is rare for him to enter the Song Dynasty personally, so there is no need to make him come back in a hurry." Duan Yu looked at Zhu Danchen and said lightly: "In Dali, Shan Chan Hou has thousands of troops. Wanma, but in the Song Dynasty, he was only alone!"
Zhu Danchen shook his body and raised his head. Only then did he understand Duan Yu's plan.
This Japanese emperor went here, but I'm afraid he didn't want that good interpreter Gao Shengtai to return to Dali alive.
"It's just..." Zhu Danchen muttered. He wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Duan Yu.
"Let's go", Duan Yu pinched the horse's belly with his feet, urged the horse to move forward, and said with a smile: "It's up to people to get things done, and it's up to the sky. It's nothing more than the left and right, let's try our best!"
Although he talked and laughed freely in his mouth, he was never relaxed in his heart.
The horseshoe fluttered, and in an instant it was about to step into the kingdom of Song Dynasty.
The cold moonlight, as it was decades ago.
It was the first time in his life that he entered the Song Dynasty. At that time, he was just an ignorant young man. His martial arts was especially good at times, and he was coerced by evil people and was not free. But at this time, he thought about it, but he still felt that he had taken this path. The state of mind at that time was so unrestrained and relaxed.
Right now, he is the emperor, and he has just regained the power of the country from the power of the official. He is as energetic as a dragon entering the sea, but he doesn't know why, but in his heart now, he doesn't feel half happy!
That period of youth and frivolous time, after all, before he had time to stay a little, it has already passed away quietly, and there will be no more!
"Drive!" Duan Yu suddenly urged his horse, and rode with Zhu Danchen, immersed in the boundless darkness.
