There was no talking all the way and they returned to the capital smoothly. Duan Zhengming led everyone directly to the palace.
He led everyone to the royal study, moved Xuan Bei and He Xie to their seats, and called the servants to bring tea.
After the servants had retired, he took everyone from the Duan family and saluted Xuan Bei and He Xie together solemnly and thanked them for their kindness in saving each other.
What follows is a rainbow spiral fart of hello, me, hello, everyone. Although it is all just nonsense, this process is essential. He Xie and his entourage in the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations have become the most distinguished guests of the Duan family in Dali.
, which can be seen from the fact that he and Xuanbei sit on the same table.
In other words, He Xie has almost filled up Duan's favorability point in Dali.
After finishing the rainbow fart, it’s time to get down to business.
At that moment, Duan Zhengming told the story about the Qingpao Renhui Yiyangzhi, the leader of the four evil people.
Duan Jiayiyang pointed out that until now, martial arts have been passed down from generation to generation. It is passed down from son to daughter, from descendants to concubines, and from elders to virtuous ones. Therefore, it is definitely impossible for outsiders to learn this martial art.
This rule was not passed until Duan Yu's grandson, Duan Zhixing, master Yideng. In order to control Ouyang Feng, he broke the ancestral rule of not passing it on to outsiders and first passed it on to Wang Chongyang of the Quanzhen sect, and then to Yu Yu.
Qiao Geng read the four major disciples. But now, since the man in Qingpao knows the Yang finger, it can be concluded that he is a direct descendant of the Duan family.
Duan Zhengming said to Duan Zhengchun: "Brother Chun, do you guess who this person is?"
Duan Zhengchun shook his head and said: "I can't guess. Could it be that someone in Tianlong Temple returned to secular life and changed it?"
Dali Tianlong Temple is a royal temple. In their later years, almost all members of the Dali royal family went to this temple to become monks. It can be regarded as the "presbyterian temple" of Dali.
Emperor Baoding shook his head and said, "No, it's Prince Yanqing!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, except He Xie and Master Xuanbei whose expressions remained unchanged.
Emperor Baoding looked at He Xie and explained: "I want He Shaoxia to know that more than ten years ago in the fifth year of Shangde, Duan Lianyi, the Shangde Emperor of Dali, was in power. Suddenly there was a big change in the court. The Shangde Emperor was killed by the treacherous minister Yang Yizhen.
Later, Duan Shouhui, the nephew of Emperor Shangde, received help from eminent monks in Tianlong Temple to annihilate Yang Yizhen."
"After Duan Shouhui took over the throne, he was called Emperor Shangming. Emperor Shangming was not happy to be emperor. He only reigned for one year, so he went to Tianlong Temple to become a monk and passed on the throne to his subordinates. At that time, Emperor Shangde had a biological son, who was called the emperor in the court.
When the treacherous minister Yang Yizhen plotted to usurp the throne for the crown prince of Yanqing, the whole country was in chaos. The crown prince of Yanqing disappeared without a trace, and everyone thought that Yang Yizhen had killed him."
Except for Xuan Bei, everyone present here is from the Duan family, or people closely related to the Duan family. Since Xuan Bei is older, it is natural that he knows about this past event. He Xie said before that he had lived in the mountains for a long time, and he had just been born this time.
Emperor Baoding's words were naturally explained to He Xie specifically to show respect.
"So that's it," He Xie pretended to be surprised, "So it seems that the leader of these four villains is Duan Yanqing back then?"
Duan Zhengchun said with a serious face: "Prince Yanqing is no longer alive. This person is probably a fake person."
Duan Zhengming said: "You can fake your name, but you can't fake the skills of Yiyang Finger. It is common in the martial arts to steal the skills from a master, but how can you steal such internal skills and mental skills? This person is the prince of Yanqing, absolutely
Nothing suspicious."
Duan Zhengchun pondered for a long time and asked: "Then he is the most outstanding person in my Duan family, why does he want to ruin the good reputation of my family?"
Emperor Baoding sighed: "This man is disabled all over and has a very different temperament, which cannot be normalized. What's more, I am the one who occupies the throne of Dali. He must be resentful and will cause my brothers to be ruined and ruined."
"
Duan Zhengchun said: "Eldest brother has been on the throne for a long time, supported by his subjects, and the world is at peace. Let alone the birth of Prince Yanqing, even if Emperor Shangde is resurrected, he will not be able to occupy this position again."
Emperor Baoding shook his head and said: "The throne originally belonged to Prince Yanqing. It was only because he was thought to be dead and the country could not live without a king for a day that Emperor Ming took over the throne. Later, he passed the throne to me. Now that Prince Yanqing has come back, I will
The throne should be returned to him."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the Dali ministers present changed drastically. They knelt down and remonstrated, hoping that Emperor Baoding would not think so.
He Xie and Xuan Bei looked at each other, and then they both looked at their noses, mouths, and minds, temporarily becoming clay statues of Bodhisattvas.
Duan Yu, on the other hand, curled his lips and shook his head, seemingly disapproving of the hypocrisy of his uncle, father and other ministers.
He Xie saw this and sighed, she is still young. Politics is like the emperor's new clothes. Everyone sees through it but doesn't tell you. Do you think it's because everyone is drunk and you are alone?
No, everyone is pretending to be stupid, and you are so disdainful, but you are really stupid.
In the end, Duan Zhengming "reluctantly" agreed to "live in Dabao secretly" for a period of time under the painstaking remonstrance of all his ministers. If Prince Yanqing was willing to change his ways and behave like an emperor, he would still be in his position. If not, in order to avoid
The country of Dali was overthrown and the country was lost. Duan Zhengming had no choice but to continue to be the emperor "shamelessly" for the sake of the people of Dali.
To prevent accidents, Duan Zhengming also announced on the spot that Duan Zhengchun would be crowned the emperor's younger brother. If something happened to him, Duan Zhengchun would immediately inherit the great treasure.
In order to express his gratitude to He Xie for imparting his merits to Duan Yu, and for saving Duan Yu this time to prevent the Duan family's reputation from being damaged, Duan Zhengming also wanted to appoint He Xie as an official, with great intentions, but He Xie refused on the spot.
"I came out of the mountain this time because I came into the world to solve my doubts. I intend to travel all over the world to find an answer for the people of the world." He Xie said solemnly.
He spoke so loftily that Duan Zhengming and others immediately did not dare to persuade him.
"Seeking answers for all the people in the world?" Duan Yu asked doubtfully, "Brother He, please forgive me for being stupid, but what answer do you want to seek?"
He Xie smiled: "In today's world, animals in the mountains can still live forever, but as human beings, those who can die a good death are considered lucky. People can hardly live as they wish. Is this normal?"
"The five countries in the world have been fighting endlessly for hundreds of years, but only Dali has not been able to fight for decades, and it is still peaceful." He Xie stood up, with a look of compassion on his face, and talked. "With the war, there is peace.
Immediately the people will be in dire straits and their lives will be ruined. This is the greatest disaster in the world!"
"People in the martial arts world do not obey the laws of the court and do not accept the discipline of the government. Even righteous people often use force to violate the ban. If it is just to support justice, then that is fine. But in fact, most people in the martial arts world die in conflicts of interest or will, not to mention many
The evil heretics kill innocent people without restraint, and even go so far as to take over the mountain and become kings. They say they are robbing the rich and giving to the poor, but they are actually seeking wealth and killing lives. This is a military disaster and the second worst disaster in the world!"
"Whether it's the Song Dynasty, Liao Dynasty, Tubo, Xixia, or even Dali, I traveled far and wide, and it was common for the government to oppress the people. Most of the officials deceived the superiors and deceived the people, and the people had no choice but to accept the situation and live a hard life. This is an official disaster.
The third worst disaster in the world!"
"The reason why I entered the world this time is to find the root causes of these three disasters and come up with ways to solve them. If I only serve as an official in Dali, I am afraid that I will not be able to fulfill my wish in this life. This is my lifelong ambition.
I hope your majesty will make it happen!"
After He Xie said something, everyone couldn't help but stand in awe!
If He Xie said these words in modern society, he would only be ridiculed, but in ancient times, everyone still did this.
"Brother He has lofty ambitions. If Mr. Hengqu were alive, he would definitely make Brother He his confidant!" Duan Yu, a young man with enthusiasm, was the first to stand up excitedly.
Mr. Hengqu is the one who said, "Establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations."
