The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

Among the mountains, flags were flying, armor like clouds, and swords like forests, Duan Zhengchun really wanted to lead his troops to rush out, enter the valley, and kill Gao Mingtai and his 37 people in Wuman 10 village.

But Song Jiang remained motionless, just guarding Yangyibaa City, as if waiting for something.

He was waiting for the army of the Song Dynasty. Several states and counties near Dali had a steady stream of soldiers entering Dali.

The Song people now occupy the right time, place, and people. The emperor is in their hands, and the city of Yangyibaa is in their hands. The Lord Gao only controls the defense line around Cangshan and Erhai, and will soon fall into crisis due to food shortage.

The situation in Dali has actually been settled, and it is only a matter of time.

When under the banner of Duan Zhengchun, the recalcitrant lord was killed and blood flowed into rivers, and when the time came to reform the land and return it to the people, Yang Lin's grand plan would be successful.

Yunnan and Guizhou, which had been separated from the Central Plains Dynasty for hundreds of years, and the Jiaozhi area further south, will be taken back again.

This is a long-term plan, and it is worth waiting for as long as possible.

Inside the Dali Palace, it was quiet, only the soft cracking of candles could be heard.Duan Zhengming lowered his head and hid his expression in the shadow of the lights. After a long time, he heard him ask in a low voice: "It seems that the Song people are no different from the Gao family, they just want us to be the puppet emperor."

Duan Zhengchun bitterly said, "We are too naive. There is no human kindness in the world. Although Dali is small, there are fertile fields, fan soldiers, and horses, and it connects Tubo, Baiyue, and the sea. How can people in Song Dynasty not take it when they cross borders?" The reason for our Duan clan's profit."

The old abbot of Chongsheng Temple, who is also the uncle of the two brothers, said in a hoarse voice, "For the current plan, we must wait for the opportunity to seek the restoration of the country. Or be a obedient citizen of the Song Dynasty, or at least follow the example of the Wuyue King Qian's family. "

Duan Zhengming patted the table and said: "The foundation of the ancestors! If you leave it in our hands, how will you see the ancestors of the Duan family after death?"

The current emperor of Dali, Duan Zhengchun, let out a long sigh in his heart, raised his head to meet his elder brother and uncle, and said: "Rise and decline, honor and disgrace are all determined by God, our Duan family is here, and we are exhausted."

These words seemed to have drained the last ounce of strength from the last emperor, and his hands were hanging down weakly. He could linger on under the oppressive power of the Gao family, and he still had the hope of turning back in his heart, so he did not hesitate to send his daughter away.

Lurking minions with forbearance, secretly planning and operating, Duan Zhengchun can be regarded as a hero, but it is a pity that his life is not good.

But facing the behemoth of Song Dynasty, Duan Zhengchun was really desperate. The current situation has become clear. What he can do is to fight for Song Dynasty, kill a few more dissatisfied tribes, and strive for a better life in Bianliang in the future. a little day.

From this point of view, Duan Miaozhen, who visits Zhaodefang every night and returns home full of food, can also achieve this goal in her actions.

The bell in the palace rang in the middle of the night, and the night sky in Dali was full of stars, and the bright moon hung high like a white jade plate.

Wang Chaoli looked at the full moon, with his hands behind his back, and a secret scroll beside him.

It said Shaozai's various arrangements, and now they are all in place, and tomorrow they will start killing in the southwest.

The intensity of this incident can be predicted that after a hundred years or a thousand years, there will be a bloody stroke in the history books, and people may still feel cold-blooded when reading it.

"Shi'an, why aren't you asleep?"

Song Jiang walked out of the big tent wearing a robe, and saw the giant Mochizuki Wang Chaoli.

"Gongming, I'm thinking about what kind of image we will appear in the history books read aloud by our descendants after tomorrow."

Song Jiang chuckled, and said: "Wang Shi'an, Wang Shi'an, a man only cares about leaving his name in history, and his merits and demerits will be judged by future generations. Isn't that what we should care about when we are making contributions."

Chapter 226 The King's Dominance is a Dream

Cai Mansion, study room, a lamp like a bean.

Shangguan Jun, the new minister of the Ministry of Punishments, sat opposite Cai Jing and described in detail the whole process of his grandson's beating.

Several maids knelt aside, refilling them with tea from time to time.

Cai Jing pressed his forehead, closed his eyes and shook his head, saying: "Yan Heng, Tonger is not sensible, and he is causing trouble for your Ministry of Punishment."

"Where did the grand master say, I didn't help much at first."

Shangguan Jun is a standard old party member. He once tried his best to obstruct Wang Anshi's young crop law.

When taking the imperial examination, both Lu Dalin and Su Shi rated him as No. 1, but he was changed to No. [-] by the chief examiner Lu Huiqing because of his policy theory to slander Wang Anshi's reform.

Such a hard-headed person does not support Wang Anshi's young crop law, but is very interested in Cai Jing's New Deal, so it was preserved during this purge.

Because of this, Yuanyou's old party stele was ridiculed by Shilin as a tool for Cai Yang to gain power, which belonged to bewitching the Sacred Heart.

Cai Jing sent Shangguan Jun away and stood at the door with a long sigh. He had been prime minister for three years.

In the court of the Song Dynasty, the prime minister who served for more than three years generally had to resign himself to give others a chance.

Otherwise, the entire court will point and point at you, saying that you are greedy for power and do not know how to advance or retreat.

That's why Yang Lin chose this season to make a move, because he knew that Cai Jing wanted to be re-elected.

If he is re-elected, Cai Jing will definitely join him in a big cleansing.

In fact, no matter whether it is a new party or an old party, as long as it is a party blocking the way, it can be purged.

This time, the old party has many members and occupies too many good positions, so the old party is unlucky.

Now through Yang Lin's turmoil, his position has stabilized a little more. Today's officials are not like ordinary emperors, and it is not impossible for him to be re-elected as the first and assistant prime minister.

Standing in the position of Cai Jing, who has enjoyed the taste of being a superintendent in charge of the world, who would be willing to step down easily.

But in this way, it is bound to make Yang Lin bigger, which is also a headache for Cai Jing.

Back in front of his seat in the study, a maid poured him a cup of hot tea, Cai Jing looked at the steaming heat, feeling a little irritable for no reason.

After Qin Hui, who was sent to Daliao, came back, he brought news that the Khitan Wen Tian Wu Xie, the king was faint and the ministers were mediocre, and peace could be exchanged for a little money on the border of Yandi.

Liang Shicheng supported a Tong Guan, and wanted to mobilize the victory of the Jie army to defend Hebei in the court, with the intention of persuading the officials to make a northern expedition.

Tong Guan is a man with too high aspirations, he can conspire with himself to attack Xia to get a high official position, and he can conspire with Liang Shicheng to attack Youyan in the north.

The current situation in the DPRK and China is more complicated than the previous struggle between the two parties. There are no factions with clear barriers, but there are two big hills, which are themselves and Liang Shicheng.

In addition to these two parties, there is also Yang Lin who is less powerful. They are both enemies and friends, and the relationship between each other depends on the situation.

Today he can work with Yang Lin to engrave Liang Shicheng's father and uncle on the treacherous party monument, and tomorrow he can also work with Liang Shicheng to suppress Yang Lin.

The candle wick flickered, and the maid picked it away with a silver needle, and asked in a low voice: "Master, it's late at night, don't you want to rest?"

"Wait a little longer and bring me that file."

Cai Jing held the list of officials in the court and studied them carefully one by one.

---

In Zhaodefang, the clouds and rain have just rested.

Yang Lin caressed the beauty in his arms, a beautiful young girl bred by the Bai nationality in Southwest China, she really had a special flavor.

Duan Miaozhen drew circles on his chest with her fair fingers, and said in a low voice: "Lin Lang, do you know where the Song army has hit, and what happened to Father and the others?"

Yang Lin rolled his eyes, placed her on the rattan chair, held Duan Miaozhen's delicate cheeks, and said affectionately: "Miaozhen, there is something I must tell you, even if I am accused of treason, I don't want to hide it. looking at you."
