Half a month has passed since the grand event in Bianliang, but Duan Silian has not yet recovered.
Not only the grandness of the scene, but also the culture and elegance of the Song Dynasty really made him feel the shortcomings of Dali's peaceful corner.
He was still a member of the Dali royal family, so he was shocked when he saw that scene, let alone people at other levels in Dali.
…
That night, the rows of water transport boats that originally lined the Bianhe River disappeared, and there were only all kinds of flower boats floating on the entire Bianhe River.
The flower boat decorated with lanterns, reflecting the bright moon and starry sky, coupled with the bustling crowds on both sides of the Bianhe River, and the laughter one after another, made Duan Silian feel calm the moment he took his seat.
This is Shangguo, this is Song Dynasty.
Duan Silian's original intention was to see it, and he did see it.
Being led by Ouyang and Sima Xianggong, he also greeted the scholars of the Song Dynasty with a face. But the replies were all polite.
He could feel the disdain of Song officials and scholars towards him. If it weren't for Ouyang and Sima Xianggong, no one would say hello to him.
Even though he had the respect of the two husbands, those people treated him perfunctorily.
What made him even more embarrassed was that, listening to the singing of those maidens and seeing the comments made by the scholars, he was unable to understand the artistic conception of the singing.
There are many poems and articles that he cannot understand.
Duan Silian saw Feng Jing and Lu Huiqing. These two people also greeted him politely, as if it was just because they were sent. Otherwise, they would be like other scholars.
Just nod at the introduction.
He is the king of Dali! But in this situation, he is worse than a passerby.
Duan Silian kept smiling all the time. This was not difficult for him. In the Dali court, when he was robbed by the Gao family and the Yang family, he could still smile. He was okay in this kind of scene.
Even though Sima Xianggong didn't even look at him, he still smiled.
Mr. Ouyang, on the other hand, was honest and honest, and would say a few words to him from time to time.
It's a pity that since he first showed that he couldn't understand the chants, Mr. Ouyang also talked less to him.
Maybe it's to avoid embarrassing me, that's probably it.
After all, when Xianggong Ouyang asked himself to judge the poems he sang for the first time, the surroundings were quiet and there seemed to be a sense of expectation.
Unfortunately, what I did was just to let them know.
"Poetry is a small way. King Duan concentrated on governing Dali, so it is not surprising that he is not good at poetry."
Mr. Ouyang made an excuse for himself...but Duan Silian really liked poetry!
"The official family has not had any new works for many years..."
"It is a state matter for officials to wear clothes at night and eat at night, so it may be difficult for them to have leisure and elegance..."
"If the officials have a new work, I am afraid that the leader of this grand event will be taken away by the officials..."
"Indeed, the young official's poetry is unparalleled..."
Duan Silian heard these discussions. He knew this was a comparison. But how could he dare to compare with His Majesty the Emperor?
Duan Silian knew the talents of His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of China. The poems and essays written tonight were slightly inferior to the poems and essays of His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of China that he had heard.
There is a gap... This is Duan Silian's only thought.
Of course, I also thought that my Dali could be like the Song Dynasty... I thought too much.
At this time, war was raging in Dali. He, Duan Silian, could not even control this. How could he govern Dali, let alone catch up with the Song Dynasty one day?
In the past half month, he had been studying with Feng Zhuangyuan as hard as a schoolboy, and he also warned everyone in the royal family to cherish this opportunity.
If he couldn't help the people of Dali to improve as a whole, he might as well let the royal family catch up with the Shangguo first. He hoped that the royal family members could learn the culture of the Song Dynasty and then bring it to Dali...~
Yes, he knew he could still return to Dali.
Just when the grand event was coming to an end, His Majesty the Emperor of China arrived. Not only did it add splendor to the grand event, but for Duan Silian, there was nothing more than the words: The war in Dali should stop soon, and you can go back then.
Duan Silian knew that the Song Dynasty had no intention of getting involved in Dali, and he would still be the king of Dali.
It's true that he will still be the king of Dali. But I really don't understand what the officials mean by this.
Not only the princes of the political affairs hall, but also Lu Huiqing was confused.
Obviously, it is not yet time for Duan Silian to know the situation of the war, because Duan Silian has not yet expressed his demands. In other words, it is not yet possible to talk about the extent of the government appointing subordinate officials to Dali.
Of course, no one, whether they were scholars or officials, had any intention of getting close to Duan Silian, let alone going to Dali to serve as an official.
At this time, the official revealed the battle situation to Duan Silian. On such an occasion, it was equivalent to an official statement.
Even if the officials want to give Shilin an upright image, there is no need to do this, right? After all, planning for Dali is the initiative of the officials.
I really can't understand it.
He, Lu Huiqing, did not reveal even a little bit about the war situation to Duan Silian. It was not just a matter of confidentiality laws, he wanted to complete this huge plan.
But now, the official family is doing this first.
"In such an occasion, the official stance means that it must be done."
Fu Bi didn't understand either, he was helpless and felt very unhappy.
The official drew a cake, and when everyone was about to follow the drawing and make it into a cake, the official suddenly tore the painting apart.
"I'm afraid the officials have other ways...~ There must be a way."
Wen Yanbo never believed that the official was a good man and a woman of faith. He had never been.
The official family must have a back-up plan, but I just didn't think of it.
"I don't think the government will give up halfway, but we are watching all the operations."
Yes, the Political Affairs Hall is aware of all the people and events targeting Duan Silian, and there is no hint of any back-up by the officials.
Even if the Southern Expeditionary Army wipes out all Dali's troops, and even if the Imperial Army takes over Dali's defense, so what? Is Dali still Dali if it is different?
In the hearts of all the ministers, taking over the defense can never be regarded as taking over Dali, but is even a hidden danger... The mountains are high and the roads are far away. The troops in Dali have been trained by the country. Once they are ambitious, they will only pose a threat to the country.
"If we just take over Dali's defense and keep the troops in Dali, the imperial court would rather not have Dali, and we will never agree to this!"
Everyone agrees with Han Qi's words. The northwest and northwest are already troublesome enough. We can't be busy for a long time and add more border troubles to the country and the DPRK!
Finally, the national strength has increased, and the imperial court has just begun to shift from defense to offense. Once the new army defends Dali, the imperial court will have to devote a lot of energy to guarding this part of the army.
Isn’t this a disease? You’re asking for trouble!
After thinking about it over and over again, I still can't figure out what other backup plans the officials have.
The Dali army will definitely be destroyed. Whether it is the Gao family, the Yang family, or those belonging to the royal family, there is no difference in the eyes of the Southern Expedition Army.
This can also be seen from the report of the Southern Expedition.
Not only the fully equipped Dali army, but also some tribes who were involved in the rebellion, the Southern Expeditionary Army showed no mercy.
Guangnan and Chengdu Prefectures, as well as the mining towns, are trying their best to accept prisoners again.
With the army gone, Dali's defense will eventually be taken over by the imperial court, but what about the civil servants?
