"Twelve years ago, Gao Zhisheng deposed Emperor Tianming and brought Duan Silian to power. After that, he became the most powerful surname in Dali. [This article is from the Literature Museum.]" Chen Ke stood in front of the window and said slowly: "At that time
Everyone regards Gao Zhisheng as Cao Cao, but Gao Zhisheng unexpectedly praised Yang Yunxian. Do you think he is a bitch?"
"Of course not..." Lu Huiqing said clearly: "You mean, the Gao family is using the Yang family as a scapegoat?"
"Otherwise? Gao Zhisheng even dares to change the emperor? Why should he serve Yang Yunxian as a subordinate?" Chen Ke said with a smile: "Princes, generals and ministers would rather have their own kind? Not only Yang Yunxian has a disobedient heart, but Gao Zhisheng also has it.
But after all, Dali belongs to the white barbarians. He is a black barbarian. If he wants to become emperor, there will be too much resistance, so the Gao family pays more attention to practical interests. He will first provoke Yang Yunxian to cause trouble and kill each other with the Duan family. Wait until the Duan family
When they couldn't hold on anymore and had to ask for help from him, they took the opportunity to extort money and squeezed out the last bit of profit from the Duan family, and then raised troops to destroy the Yang family."
"Why did he wait until the Yang family destroyed the Duan family before he crusaded against the rebels and avenged the late emperor?" Lu Huiqing asked: "At that time, Yang Yunxian had already become a villain for him, so there was not that much resistance to him becoming emperor.
Already."
"No. If you don't save someone before you die, and then turn around and shout for revenge, this behavior would be too shameful. I think Gao Zhisheng is a man who has planned a century-old plan, and he will not ruin the Gao family's character like this.
Moreover, after wiping out the Yang family, Baiman will no longer be able to compete with Wuman. The leader of the country is still held hostage in his hands. The Gao family can usurp the throne whenever they want. It would be better to do it slowly and slowly, so why bother to rush it all at once?
Do you have to follow the facts?"
"That's the truth." Lu Huiqing was convinced and nodded: "If there is a war, the Gao family will definitely do this."
"Yes." Chen Ke nodded and said: "But our existence will make Gao Xiangguo uneasy. He must be worried that Duan Silian will turn to us to borrow troops. When the time comes, he will really bring the Song Dynasty's army into Dali. He will steal the chicken.
It’s a waste of money. (-< >-网.)”
"Yes." Lu Huiqing asked, "What will he do?"
"Remove the unstable factors." Chen Ke said calmly: "The best situation is to obtain our support, at least to make Duan Silian unable to count on us..."
"You are really involving your whole body!" Lu Huiqing said with a bitter smile: "You have to be careful about your own safety. Although neither the Gao family nor the Yang family dare to offend you, if we are too involved, there is no guarantee that they will
A dog jumps over the wall in a hurry."
"Well," Chen Ke nodded and said, "I will pay attention."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the Dali Palace, Princess Mingyue conveyed Chen Ke's conditions to her brother.
Duan Silian frowned and said: "That's the truth. But isn't it embarrassing? The two old guys have already made ugly remarks. Unless I fall out with them, how can I issue this edict?
"
"Forgive me for being blunt, little sister," Princess Mingyue said angrily with a pink face: "I don't think the Song envoy has any good intentions. Maybe he wants us to cause chaos so that they can take advantage of troubled waters."
"Yeah." Duan Silian nodded and said, "This is normal."
"Then my brother is determined to go with them?"
"It's not difficult for me to make up my mind, but I have to promise not to let them act like monkeys." Duan Silian sighed softly: "What if the emperor of the Song Dynasty does not agree to the canonization? What if their army is too late to rescue? What if Yang Yang
What if the Gao family and the Gao family also reach an agreement with them?"
Seeing her brother's worries, Princess Mingyue was both distressed and a little angry: "Brother said before that if we don't do anything, we will either be exterminated by the Yang family or become puppets of the Gao family. The situation can't get any worse.
, why don’t you dare to take a gamble?”
"Wait a minute, wait a minute..." Duan Silian said bitterly: "The Song Dynasty envoy is in Dali, there are still some days left, let me think about it. (-< >-Net.)"
"Brother..."
"Good sister." Duan Silian looked at her with a smile and said, "Excuse me, please try to deal with Ambassador Song more these days. We must find out the truth from him so that we can be more sure."
"I don't need to tell you, brother," Princess Mingyue nodded and said, "I also know what to do."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Did that girl Duan Mingyue go to see the envoy of Song Dynasty?" In the Taishi Mansion, Yang Yunxian's old face was as gloomy as water.
"Yes." Yang Yizhen nodded and said, "The spy said that she not only went to the Concierge Hotel, but also stayed in the inner courtyard with the deputy envoy of the Song Dynasty for a long time."
With a 'pop' sound, Yang Yunxian smashed a Ding kiln tea cup to pieces and said bitterly: "It seems that the Duan family is determined to become slaves of the Song Dynasty!"
"They have no choice." Yang Yizhen said softly: "Dad, don't be angry. Duan Silian is already at his wits end and has to resort to this strategy. But Bianjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty, is thousands of miles away. What if the Emperor of the Song Dynasty agrees and mobilizes the army to go south?
It will be half a year later." He said with a sneer: "In half a year, the Dali country has changed its surname to Yang!"
"What does it mean to change the surname to Yang?" Yang Yunxian was very dissatisfied with his son's wording, and said: "The world of Dali country belongs to our Yang family. How majestic our ancestors were. They overthrew the Zheng family and became the emperor. Such great talents and strategies were defeated by Duan Siping.
That scoundrel colluded with black people to steal our family's country. They are the thieves who steal the country, and they are the traitors!"
Yang Yizhen quickly admitted that she was wrong. Although the Duan family has always treated the Yang family favorably in an attempt to influence them, the descendants of the Yang family have always regarded the Duan family as a retainer, and they have usurped power by retainers. This tone cannot be swallowed no matter what. After so many generations
Man, this hatred has not melted away, but has accumulated deeper and deeper, and cannot be resolved: "What if Duan Duan is so incorrigible that he jumps over the wall and insists on going his own way?" Although he doesn't take Duan seriously, he is the emperor of Dali after all.
, what you say is a golden rule. A minister can obey the imperial edict, but he must obey the imperial edict...
What's even more annoying is that this is a foreign matter and does not require the cooperation of the ministers. It is difficult to dismantle him even if he wants to.
"Anyway, it has been prepared for a long time." Yang Yunxian said bitterly: "If he dares to mention this in the court, I will take the opportunity to fall out with him. Let's go back to Tongjun and raise troops to rebel against his mother!"
"What if the envoy Song doesn't leave for a long time?"
"I don't care if he leaves or not." Yang Yunxian gritted his teeth and said, "Don't the people of the Song Dynasty help the Duan family defend the city? After taking Dali City, we also asked the Song Dynasty for a title, and then bribed him with a lot of money. Duan Silian is not their son, who will do it?
Being the emperor of Dali doesn't matter to them! I don't believe they have to fight against us."
"That's what dad said." Yang Yizhen nodded and said, "If you want to take action, do it as soon as possible. While everyone thinks we are here, we have to wait until Ambassador Song has left. If we take action now, we can still catch him by surprise."
"Yeah." Yang Yunxian nodded and said: "As a father, I don't worry about the Song Dynasty envoy. The only thing I worry about is the Gao family. The thirty-seven tribes of Wuman..."
"Gao Shengtai is very tempted by the plan to divide East and West. He also said that the emperor belongs to our Yang family, and no one can say anything by doing this. I guess there is more or less his father's intention in this." Yang Yizhen said:
"Besides, as long as we are quick enough, we can send our troops from the west of Erhai Lake, attack Dali City, and wipe out all the Duan family. By then the military will be in full swing. Whether we can bring bad luck to his family is another matter. How dare the Gao family stand up to us?"
Although Baiman's army is not as fearless as Wuman, from equipment to training, it is far stronger than Wuman. If there is a fight, it is still unclear who will win and who will lose. This is also the main confidence of the Gao family.
Source. After a pause, Yang Yunxian said quietly: "Are you still in contact with the Tubo side?"
"I have contact. Prince Mengdu promised me that as long as we hand over the promised land to him, he will send 20,000 troops to help us."
"Here! Dali has four thousand miles of land, I can afford it!" Yang Yunxian really spared no expense in order to replace the Duan family. He couldn't regret it. The political system of Dali was a bit like the Zhou Dynasty... all nobles had fiefs.
The tribal people in the fiefdom did not obey the emperor, but obeyed their lords. But the nobles themselves had to obey the emperor.
But what makes the Emperor of Dali better than the Emperor of Zhou is that they gathered all the clan chiefs in Dali City and gave them official positions, which also made it easier to control them. This naturally poses no threat to Yang Yunxian, but to most leaders of small tribes,
It is still a very good tightening curse. Besides, the Duan family has been the emperor for more than a hundred years, and now the leaders of all the tribes in Dali are appointed by Duan Siping. Although they are now attached to the Yang family, it is just for the better.
Even Yang Yunxian is not sure how far they will go to protect themselves. Will they follow the Yang family in rebellion?
So he wanted to lure the troops into the pass at all costs. Putting away the guilt he felt towards his ancestors, Yang Yunxian said to his son: "Since you have made up your mind to take action, it's time to go back and prepare immediately. Wait for me
Send out troops soon!
"Yes." Yang Yizhen said solemnly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In that room, Gao Shengtai also reported the same information to Gao Zhisheng.
"It seems that Duan Silian is ready to fight to the end," Gao Zhisheng was not as excited as Yang Yunxian. He said calmly: "We must also be prepared for contingency."
"Then we still have a banquet for the Song Dynasty envoy?" Gao Shengtai asked.
"Of course there will be a banquet. The more times it is like this, the more important it is to have a good relationship with them." Gao Zhisheng glanced at his son and sighed: "Double the gift and you can't make any mistakes."
"Yes." The situation became increasingly tense, and Gao Shengtai could no longer understand it, but he believed in his father's judgment.
Damn, it’s past three o’clock again! I can’t help it. I can only calm down and write at night recently. Although it’s less, I’m asking for a monthly ticket...
