Chapter 905 Xixia can send it, how can I Dali not send it!
If Xixia can give it away, how can I not give it to Dali? The elder who proposed to send the royal princess looked at Li Qianshun expressionlessly and said: "As a child of the royal family, you should have the consciousness to give everything for the royal family. Could it be that your majesty thinks that Is there a better way than this?"
Li Qianshun was obviously very unwilling. At the same time, it could be seen that he valued his daughter very much. He took a deep breath and looked at the clan elder and said: "But the clan elder must not forget that Chu Yi is an eunuch and he is a eunuch. If everyone in the world knows about giving clear dew to such an eunuch, what dignity will our Xixia royal family have?"
The majestic royal princess was actually sacrificed to a eunuch. No matter what status or power the eunuch had, in the eyes of the world, he was still a eunuch no matter what.
The clan elder swung his sleeves and snorted: "If you think that revealing the identity of the child will bring shame to our royal family, then let us make the decision and your majesty will pass the throne to other members of the clan. Once this happens, Qinglu will no longer be my Xixia princess. In this way, I think it won’t make us Xixia lose face."
When the clan elders finished speaking, Li Qianshun, who originally had a look of dissatisfaction on his face, suddenly seemed to be strangled by the neck. He looked at the two clan elders in disbelief, as if he was trying to judge whether the words of the two clan elders were true. Make fun of him.
In all countries in the world, unless they are the founding monarchs, the kings are often not strong in the realm of heaven and man. After all, as the emperor, he is responsible for all affairs of the day, and is in charge of all the affairs of the court. His energy is completely focused on the government, so naturally he does not have more energy to practice. .
As a result, no matter how outstanding your talents are before ascending to the throne, once you ascend to the throne, it is obviously impossible to have both.
You must know that someone as powerful as Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, was a strong man before he ascended to the throne. He was said to be invincible in the world with Taizu's long fist.
Many people were even optimistic about it, thinking that Zhao Kuangyin was the most promising person of that era to advance to the Heavenly Master realm. However, who would have expected that Zhao Kuangyin would die as soon as he wore a yellow robe and ascended to the throne not many years ago. Thinking about it now, It still makes many people sigh.
It can be said that there is an example of Zhao Kuangyin in the past, but among the strong people who are determined to practice, few people will seek the position of emperor. Of course, as the emperor, it does not mean that he can be deposed by deposing him, unless he is a member of the clan. Only when all the heavens and humans have the same opinions can the emperor be truly deposed.
Just like the royal family of the Song Dynasty, several powerful men in the realm of gods and humans, even if they were sent to the capital, were quite dissatisfied with the emperor. It was because the gods and humans had different opinions that they could not depose the emperor at all.
For example, in the Xixia royal family, there are only two powerful men in the realm of heaven and man. As long as these two people agree, it is not impossible to dethrone Li Qianshun as emperor.
Just when Li Qianshun was feeling quite frightened, he heard another heavenly being cough lightly and said: "Since your Majesty ascended the throne, you have been diligent in governing affairs and have never been short of offerings to us. We all see it in our eyes and hope that Your Majesty will not be emotional and put the overall interests of the country first."
No matter how unwilling he was, facing the steps given by this clan elder, unless Li Qianshun really wanted to give up the throne to someone else, otherwise, he could only follow the steps given by this clan elder. Come down.
With a forced smile on his face, Li Qianshun nodded to the two clan elders and said, "In that case, I will go and make arrangements. I hope Qinglu's sacrifice can really dispel Chu Yi's anger."
It has to be said that Li Qianshun's efficiency is still very high. After selecting some rare treasures from the treasure house, Li Qian ordered the third princess Li Qinglu to apologize to Chu Yi on behalf of the Xixia Kingdom.
After all, Li Qianshun still has some dignity. He can't possibly tell everyone in the world that he wants to give his princess to Chu Yi, so he can only be tactful.
But whoever is able to sit firmly in the court is not a thoughtful person. Perhaps not everyone in the civil and military circles of the court can see the purpose of Li Qianshun sending Li Qinglu as an envoy, but some people see it. There was a clue, and he showed a strange look.
Not long after the next court, the news spread. Due to the royal family's face, everyone only spread it privately. Even so, in less than a day, the people of the entire capital knew the shocking news. That is, their king will give his beloved princess to His Highness the King of Song Dynasty.
Everyone has a tendency to gossip, let alone what is involved this time is the royal family and the third princess Li Qinglu who is quite famous among the people.
Few people in the Song Dynasty had not heard of Chu Yi's name, but in Xixia, in this era, for ordinary people, there were no channels for accessing many information. In addition, the Xixia court deliberately blocked it, so it is said that Chu Yi's name is really not well known in Xixia.
However, this time it became known to everyone because of the royal family and Li Qinglu, the Xixia princess.
I thought that the person who could let Xixia give away the princess was definitely not an ordinary person. However, when the common people learned about Chu Yi's identity and origin, many people were dumbfounded.
Indeed, Chu Yi's status is indeed extraordinary. He could grow from a servant to the most powerful prince in the Song Dynasty. He can be said to be an existence that can dethrone a king with a single word. They, the Xixia princesses, can be said to be high-ranking, but what really makes What they found unbelievable was the background of Chu Yi's chamberlain.
The thought of their princess being given to an eunuch made these people feel awkward.
However, no matter how the people talk about it, the ordinary people cannot change the will of the king of the country. According to the will, no matter what Li Qinglu thinks in her heart, she has to accompany the mission on the day chosen by the king.
Xixia sent the princess in order to apologize to Chu Yi. Naturally, such a big thing could not be hidden from the spies from all over the world. It can be said that as soon as the news came out, the spies from all over the world spread the news back immediately.
When the leader of the Tubo Kingdom received the news, his first reaction was that it was funny. He laughed so hard that Li Qianshun lost all face from then on. However, after laughing, the leader of the Tubo Kingdom gradually became more solemn.
After all, he is the leader of a country. The leader of Tubo is not a fool. Li Qianshun is not a foolish monarch, but he was forced to make such a shameless decision. What this means is clear to the leader of Tubo. .
If he had a choice, I believe Li Qianshun would never do such a thing. In the end, Xixia was afraid of Chu Yi.
Thinking about Chu Yi's achievements, the leader of Tubo couldn't help but feel a sudden change in his heart. However, the leader of Tubo soon encouraged himself. The reason why Xixia was afraid of Chu Yi was because the founding of Xixia was too short and he had no confidence.
But they are different from Tubo. Not to mention other things, the existence of the one on the Snow Mountain alone is enough to ensure that Tubo's inheritance will last for hundreds of years.
Almost immediately, the Lord of Tubo made a decision. On the same day, a decree came from the royal court that the Lord of Tubo would go to the Snow Mountain in person to pay homage to the Lord Buddha.
On the other hand, because Dali was not swayed by Da Jin's previous words, it said that it did not send strong men to help Da Jin. Therefore, as the king of a country, Duan Zhengming was not as panicked as the leader of Xixia or Tubo.
But at this moment, Duan Zhengming also summoned his brother Duan Zhengchun and several important ministers to discuss how to give Dali more ability to protect itself when facing the Song Dynasty.
Duan Zhengming glanced at everyone present, coughed slightly and said, "Everyone, I wonder what you think of Xixia's sending the princess to apologize in person."
A minister heard this and sneered: "Li Qianshun also knows what shame is. He didn't openly send his daughter to His Highness the King of Song Dynasty, but his thoughts were hidden from anyone. It was just a joke."
Gao Taiming, who was thinking again, coughed lightly, and suddenly everyone's eyes fell on Gao Taiming. The Duan family and the Gao family in Dali share the same world, and the Gao family is even stronger than the Duan family, so Gao Taiming's No one here dared to ignore his attitude.
Gao Taiming was heard to say: "Although Li Qianshun's move seems ridiculous, who is Li Qianshun? How could he make such a choice if he had no other choice?"
Gao Taiming said with a serious look on his face: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, people without long-term worries must have short-term worries. Among all the countries, our country, Dali, is inherently small and weak. Neither Xixia nor the Song Dynasty can be resisted by our Dali. The power of the Song Dynasty is unstoppable. Zhengsheng, it is possible that he will not annex our Dali in the future, so please make a decision as soon as possible."
Hearing what Gao Taiming said, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically. They are the ruling class of Dali and can be said to have vested interests. If anyone least wants to see Dali merged into the Song Dynasty, then everyone present Everyone, nine out of ten people are unwilling.
Once merged into the Song Dynasty, even the most powerful Gao family would probably decline from then on, so the faces of everyone present became extremely solemn.
Duan Zhengming took a deep breath and looked at Gao Taiming and said, "Does Gao Qing's family have any plans to solve the crisis in Dali?"
Even though it is not about to be annexed immediately, it is a potential threat. If there is a way to solve it, that would be great.
Everyone's eyes fell on Gao Taiming. They saw Gao Taiming stroking his beard, narrowing his eyes and saying: "I'm so brave, please forgive me, otherwise I won't dare to speak..."
Duan Zhengming was slightly startled, and said immediately: "You can speak frankly, but I will not blame the Qing family for what I said."
Gao Taiming stroked his beard and said: "Although Li Qianshun's move seems to have made Xixia lose face, it is not an act of weakness. What if Princess Qinglu falls into the eyes of the King of Song..."
Duan Zhengchun said subconsciously: "No, that person is a chamberlain..."
Gao Taiming glanced at Duan Zhengchun lightly and said: "What about the chamberlain? Who has stipulated that chamberlains should not be lecherous? Don't you know that many chamberlains take wives and concubines?"
Duan Zhengchun was speechless.
But he didn't know that Gao Taiming was looking at Duan Zhengchun with a strange look, and he heard Gao Taiming say to Duan Zhengchun: "I heard that several princesses under the king of Zhennan are all beautiful, virtuous and virtuous... …”
Duan Zhengchun was stunned at first, then realized what he thought of, his face changed drastically, he pointed at Gao Taiming with shock and said tremblingly: "Gao Taiming, you... what do you mean by this?"
Gao Taiming stroked his beard and looked at Duan Zhengchun with a smile on his face: "What I mean is exactly what the prince is thinking!"
Duan Zhengchun subconsciously took a step back, pointed at Gao Taiming and said tremblingly: "You...you..."
At this moment, even a fool could figure it out. After contacting Gao Taiming and Duan Zhengchun's reaction, everyone present, including Emperor Duan Zhengming, understood what Gao Taiming meant.
They had not forgotten to laugh at Li Qianshun for giving away his daughter, but they never thought that Gao Taiming had the same idea at this moment. Everyone couldn't help but look at Gao Taiming with a strange look.
However, Gao Taiming's expression remained unchanged and he said: "Li Qianshun is not a fool. He even did what Xixia did. Why don't we, Dali, imitate him? Is it possible that the princess of Dali is not as good as his Xixia princess?"
All the important officials present suddenly realized, just as Gao Taiming said, Xixia's choice of such a method naturally makes sense. If this is the case, why can't it be like Xixia?
However, when everyone noticed Duan Zhengchun's face as black as the bottom of a pot, everyone felt a little amused.
Who doesn't know the romantic style of the King of Zhennan, and who would have thought that the result of the former romantic relationship was the creation of several beautiful princesses.
If that were not the case, to be honest, even if they wanted to imitate Xixia and give Chu Yi a princess, they would not have to give it away.
At this moment, Duan Zhengming, Duan Zhengchun's brother, naturally noticed Duan Zhengchun's embarrassment. He coughed lightly and helped Duan Zhengchun out of the siege. He waved his hands and said to the crowd: "Everyone from the Qing family, please come to congratulate me today. Let me consider the matter and discuss it later.”
After everyone paid homage to Duan Zhengming and left, Duan Zhengchun was suffocating and had no place to vent his anger. Now that there were no outsiders around, he couldn't help but said to Duan Zhengming: "I'm really angry. Brother Emperor, did you hear that? That Gao Taiming actually humiliated us like this..."
Duan Zhengming looked calm, glanced at Duan Zhengchun lightly and said, "Brother Wang, do you really think Gao Taiming is humiliating my Duan family?"
Duan Zhengchun said immediately: "Isn't it..."
But Duan Zhengchun soon shut his mouth. He was certainly not stupid and could not have no political awareness at all. Otherwise, he would not be regarded by Duan Zhengming as his future successor. It was just that he was unwilling to accept it in his heart. .
Now that Duan Zhengming asked him this question, Duan Zhengchun himself lost confidence.
Sighing lightly, Duan Zhengming took a step forward, patted Duan Zhengchun on the shoulder and said: "Brother Wang, as a royal child, you have to be enlightened as a royal child. Isn't the national power of Xixia stronger than our Dali? But even so, Li Qianshun wants to give away the apple of his eye."
Duan Zhengchun sat there for a long time before he slowly raised his head, looked at Duan Zhengming and said, "Brother Emperor, is there really no other way?"
Duan Zhengming shook his head slightly and said: "This is not a matter for my royal family alone. If we don't agree, all the officials will not agree."
"If they want to send their daughter, let them send it. Why do you want me, Duan Zhengchun, to send my daughter alone..."
Duan Zhengming looked at Duan Zhengchun and said word by word: "Because they are of the bloodline of the Duan family of Dali and are royal maidens!"
Duan Zhengchun had a look of dejection on his face at this moment. He stood up and saluted Duan Zhengming for a long time and said: "Brother, please think about it carefully, think about it..."
Duan Zhengming sighed slightly and said, "That's it for brother Huang. I hope that brother Wang can put the overall situation first. I'm waiting for your news."
Duan Zhengchun, who was full of confused thoughts, left the palace. He didn't know how he got back to the palace. It happened that the Crown Prince Duan Yu came up to greet Duan Zhengchun and said with a salute: "The child has met the father."
Trying his best to put on a smile, Duan Zhengchun glanced at Duan Yu and said, "It's Yu'er. When did Yu'er come back? Have you met your mother?"
Duan Yu said with a smile: "The child has already gone to visit his mother. This time the child returns, but he comes with the child's sworn brother."
Duan Zhengchun was slightly startled and said, "Oh, my son's sworn brother is not the righteous and righteous leader of the Beggar Clan, Qiao Feng?"
Duan Yu coughed lightly and said: "Brother Qiao has important matters, but he did not come with the child this time. However, the person who came with the child this time was the second brother Xu Zhuzi."
Duan Zhengchun reacted and said: "Xu Zhuzi? Could it be the young monk Xu Zhu who was expelled from Shaolin and joined the Xiaoyao Sect as rumored in the world?"
Duan Yu nodded and said: "The second brother was expelled from Shaolin and was in a bad mood, so the child invited the second brother to come to Dali to relax. This time the second brother came here specially to pay homage to his father."
With a slight smile on his face, Duan Zhengchun nodded slightly and said, "Since he is Wang Er's sworn brother, father and Wang should definitely meet him."
Soon Xu Zhu, who had short hair and was wearing a long robe, which looked a bit nondescript at first glance, walked into the living room, bowed to Duan Zhengchun and said: "Little monk..."
However, Xu Zhu quickly paused, and with a bit of a wry smile on his face, he changed his words: "Xu Zhuzi has met King Zhennan."
Duan Zhengchun looked at Xu Zhu, and couldn't help but feel a little confused in his heart. In his perception, Xu Zhu's entire body was like an unfathomable pool of water, and he couldn't even see through his cultivation level.
With Duan Zhengchun's cultivation level now reaching the half-step of the realm of heaven and humans, the only things in this world that he can't see through are those in the realm of heaven and humans or even higher.
Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he thought that Xu Zhu was actually a powerful person in heaven. He showed a smile on his face and said to Xu Zhu: "My dear nephew, please forgive me. You and my Yu'er are close acquaintances. We are equal."
Brother, then he is Duan's nephew. If you need anything in Dali this time, just ask Yu'er. If Yu'er can't do it, let Yu'er tell me."
Xu Zhu said quickly: "Xu Zhu, thank you so much, Your Majesty for your love."
He ordered Duan Yu to entertain Xu Zhu happily and sent Xu Zhu away who looked grateful. Duan Yu returned to the living room and saw the bitterness on Duan Zhengchun's face and couldn't help being surprised and said: "Father, why are you so troubled?
"
Duan Zhengchun waved his hand and said with a slight smile on his face: "It's just some annoying things. Yu'er doesn't need to worry about it. Quickly tell your father, what will Yu'er gain by going out this time?"
When Duan Yu heard what Duan Zhengchun said, he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he smiled and said to Duan Zhengchun, "It's not really a harvest. It's just that when I returned, I heard some news about Xixia."
When Duan Zhengchun heard this, he almost didn't need to guess. He probably knew what news Duan Yu had heard about Xixia. When he thought of the choice he was about to face, his mood suddenly became very bad, and his face naturally became gloomy.
