"Prince, please sit down," Wang Ju said with his hand.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang," Duan Zhengming said politely, while sitting down.

Duan Zhengming was the grandson of Duan Silian, the former emperor of Dali, so Wang Ju called Duan Zhengming the crown prince.

But he was just a prince, and Wang Ju's attitude was not arrogant.

Qiong Niang brewed tea.

Wang Ju said, "Prince, please use tea."

"Thank you, Prince."

"Don't be polite," Wang Ju said, but he was thinking in his heart that the prince's Chinese was "righteous" and unlike those of Champa, he could hardly understand it.

Duan Zhengming took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and was about to speak, Wang Ju said, "Crown Prince, are you here to serve as an envoy, should you serve as an envoy for your Duan family, or for the Gao family?"

Duan Zhengming's face changed!

This is the history and current situation of Dali.

Don’t believe what is written in “The Legend of the Condor Heroes”, it is too beautifying Dali. In fact, Dali has always been very chaotic. First, Duan’s family killed each other, and then the monarch and ministers competed for power.

Dali was the predecessor of the Nanzhao Meng family. During the Later Tang Dynasty, the powerful minister Zheng Maisi usurped Meng and established himself, but it was very similar to the Central Plains. Often, the first rebellion and uprising would not end. In just over twenty years, Yang Ganzhen, the governor of Jianchuan of Nanzhao, entered the court on the pretext of an insult to kill Zheng Maisi's son Zheng Longtan, and the Zheng family's "Changhe Kingdom" destroyed the country.

However, Yang Ganzhen was afraid that the old ministers of the Zheng family would not accept it, so he recommended Zhao Shanzheng, who had a prestigious ascendant. After Zhao Shanzheng ascended the throne, he excluded Yang Ganzhen. Anyone who had any beg for something would be allowed, would not be allowed. He was stupid! In less than ten months, Yang Ganzhen could no longer bear it and abolished Zhao Shanzheng and resigned himself.

However, Yang Ganzhen was not capable enough and had no way to govern the country. Duan Siping, the governor of Tonghai, contacted the powerful families of the Gao family, Dong family and other powerful peoples of the Dali East Wuman tribe and arranged troops to advance westward in Shicheng. Yang Ganzhen sent Yang Zhao to lead his troops to fight. As a result, Yang Zhao was defeated and hanged himself to death. Yang Ganzhen was preparing to abandon the city and flee, and was captured by Duan Siping. During the Later Jin Dynasty, the Duan family of Dali established a country. However, Duan Siping did not promote the killing and stabbing, "although he had all expelled the evil ministers of the Yang family", he only forced Yang Ganzhen to be a monk and did not execute him. The power of the Yang family was retained...

At the same time, the great honor was granted a great honor. Dong Jialuo was the prime minister and gave him the land of Lanzhou, Gao Fang was the Hou of Yue, Chengji, Juqiao and other places, and Cuan was the Hou of Badian... In this way, the country immediately quickly moved from chaos to rule, and did not create "killing karma", but its disadvantages are, let's look at Duke Wen of Jin...

Duan Siping died and made his son Duan Siying before his death. However, Duan Siping also had a younger brother named Duan Siliang, who Duan Siping was able to rise to power. There were many people helping him behind it, just like Zhao Kuangyin. It was really the only way for all troops to put on the imperial robe. I don’t know how many conspiracies were behind it. This younger brother Duan Siliang may have made many contributions behind it.

As soon as the eldest brother died, he had an idea, so he colluded with Prime Minister Dong Jialuo, and abolished Duan Siying and replaced him in the name of "violent nature, excessive sexual intercourse, and changing the system of literary virtues and morality." This disaster was also laid.

Only a few decades later, when Duan Sulian was in the hands of Duan Sulian, the real power of Dali State was controlled by his nephew Duan Sulong. Under the pressure from Duan Sulong and his son, Duan Sulian had to say that his son A Tong was "bad, ignorant, lustful, and proclaimed his lust in the country." It was said to be located in Duan Sulong. However, after Duan Sulong ascended the throne, the powerful and powerful people in Dali were not convinced, so they had to be the one located in Duan Suzhen, the son of A Tong.

After Duan Suzhen ascended the throne, the emperor was very unhappy under the pressure of a group of powerful ministers, so he became a monk and the ministers supported his grandson Duan Suxing as the king.

The play meat is coming again, and the descendants of Duan Siliang's lineage are doing this, which makes people uneasy. However, Duan Siping's lineage grows up in secret. Duan Silian's great-grandson Duan Silian colludes with the Gao family, put many bad hats on the young Duan Suxing, and then dismissed him and proclaimed himself king. At this time, the Yang family's power has also recovered after Manchang's development. Seeing that the Duan family's power has been unstable, he rebelled and was suppressed by Gao Zhisheng. Duan Silian then promoted Gao Zhisheng to Taibao and became the Duan Dehou.

The Gao family officially developed from this time. A few years ago, Duan Silian might have been unhappy because he was defeated by the Gao family and became a monk. He was passed down to his son Duan Lianyi, which is the current king of Dali. However, Duan Lianyi has completely become a puppet emperor supported by the Gao family.

So don't believe "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". It's okay to read novels. If you think of it as history, it's too much. For example, Duan Yu does have this person, who is also the son of Duan Zhengchun, but he will be born three or four years away.

As for the great master in front of him, he was just a gentle and gentle young man. I guess Wang Ju could beat him up with one punch.

Of course, it is precisely because Dali is not as harmonious as written in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that Wang Ju dared to make up their ideas.

Wang Ju said again: "Criminal, you don't say anything. Let's take a look at this paragraph first. After reading it twice, let's talk about it?"

After saying that, Wang Ju took out a "Records of the Grand Historian" and deliberately put bookmarks on both sides of a paragraph in the middle of "The Family of Jin", which made him see the history of Duke Wen of Jin's great heroes, and until Wei, Han and Zhao divided the Jin State.

Wang Ju started to come to Guangnan, but Dali didn't pay much attention.

Moreover, they didn't want to deal with the Song Dynasty. In order to win over this southern country, the Song Dynasty deliberately set up a gorgeous ferry on the Dadu River so that Dali envoys could come to the Song Dynasty smoothly and go to the Song Dynasty. However, they had never seen Dali send envoys to come several times.

There will definitely be people who say they are hostile to the Song Dynasty. After all, how can you not be afraid of such a big country on the side, but there is not much malice.

To say how friendly they were to the Song Dynasty was, that was nonsense.

It was not until Duan Yu that he officially changed his attitude towards the Song Dynasty and wanted to get close to him. However, at that time, the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, and all the plants and trees were in war, and the Southern Song Dynasty was also guarding against Dali. This is the most true portrayal of the relationship between the two countries.

Dali did not have much malice towards the Song Dynasty, but he always had ideas about Jiaozhi. Decades ago, Dali asked Duan Jingzhi and Yang Changhui to lead a 200,000 army south, but was defeated by Li Gongyun, so he became honest. But in history, decades later, Dali supported Weng Shenli, the son of Li Qiande, to send troops to Jiaozhi, and was defeated by Jiaozhi. Dali changed his attitude towards Jiaozhi, and the two countries gradually reconciled.

Therefore, Dali also arranged some scouts in Jiaozhi territory.

In fact, there is no need for scouts, and a large number of refugees will inevitably alarm Dali.

So Dali noticed Wang Ju and found out about Wang Ju's past military achievements.

Faced with this powerful and cruel master, he sent envoys to force him. Dali had to send envoys to beg for love, and Duan Lianyi's nephew Duan Zhengming came in person. Why is this person? One is that Duan Lianyi has many nephews, and one is not in trouble when he dies. The other is that Duan Zhengming is well-read in poetry and books and is easy to communicate with ministers of the Song Dynasty. The other is that although Duan Lianyi has many nephews, he is finally a clan of Dali's royal family. Moreover, he is the grandson of the former emperor Duan Silian, who serves as an envoy in this capacity to show Dali's respect for Wang Ju.

Duan Zhengming finished reading it and put down the book and said, "The Gao family is loyal to the royal family and will never do anything rebellious."

"Gao Zhisheng can't do it. Can you guarantee that his son Gao Shengtai can't do it? The prince must have read "The Three Kingdoms". Did Cao Cao call him lord in his life? Did Sima Yi call him lord in his life? Not to mention this, when the prince came to Guangnan, he should hear about my troops to occupy the city."

Duan Zhengming's forehead is on his head.

This is what he was worried about. This man not only destroyed Jiaozhi, but then took Chameng Kingdom in just a few days. Will the next step be Dali?

"Maybe you have a misunderstanding," Wang Ju looked at his face and said, "I'll tell you what happened."

So he told me about the destruction of Champa and how to resettle Halivamore. Of course, Wang Ju wanted to make Champa and the Great Wall to prevent Zhen La from threatening the Xinjiaozhi Road in the future. He would not say.

Duan Zhengming didn't believe it very much.

"It's almost there. At most, Helivamore will come back in two or three months. If the prince doesn't believe it, he can send a scout to inquire whether I did what I promised, and whether all the Song army withdraws and returns."

"But the king..."

"I am not my husband, call me Shaobao." Wang Ju said.

In fact, it is okay to call the king and the master. After all, he is also a position to be a clerk in the Privy Council. Although this is not a magistrate, but an official, isn’t he the Prime Minister of the Western Prefecture?

"Self-insurance, so why do you do this?"

"Don't the prince still understand? What I want is not the territory. Is our Song Dynasty not large enough? But I don't want territory, but what I want is good neighbors, not evil neighbors. Because I bought horses in Dali two years ago, I also sent someone to inquire. Your Duan family is not evil to our Song Dynasty, but they can't make decisions. Do you understand what I mean?"

Of course Duan Zhengming understood.

That is, your Duan family is in danger now, and Gao Zhisheng and his son control the national affairs. What if they are not satisfied that day and want to be emperors? Then your Duan family will go to hell.

When the Gao family ascended the throne, they would change Dali's policy to the Song Dynasty.

In this way, it is better for us to join forces. I will kill this possibility in the bud for the Song Dynasty. If you, Dali, eliminate the Gao family, and the Duan family can be legitimately the emperor, and the policy to the Song Dynasty can be continued.

In fact, Gao Shengtai really did this, replacing the Duan family as the emperor, and the country was named Dazhong, but this great China was very unpopular with the people of Dali. Therefore, before his death, he asked his descendants to return the regime to the Duan family, so Gao Taiming made Duan Zhengchun the king. However, after the troubles of the Gao family, and the Gao family still controlled the national affairs, the tribes of the Dali country were dissatisfied, divided and officially declined, so it was called the Later Li in history.

Fortunately, the Gao family also did not create large-scale killings.

Wang Ju doesn’t know about this history, but Duan also doesn’t know about it either!

However, Duan Zhengming dared not answer, what if he led the wolf into the house, he stumbled and said, "Young Guardian, I can't make the decision on this matter."

"Okay, go back and report to your uncle. At least our Song army cannot stay in Dali for a long time. Let's talk about the important matters. What do you want to say when the Gao family asks you to come?"

It was not what the Dali Kingdom asked you to do on missions, but what the Gao family asked you to do on missions.

Duan Zhengming's pink and tender little Baitian's face turned red again, and he said, "After receiving the letter from Shaobao, our country sent people to carefully check among the refugees, but no one saw what Shaobao said."

In fact, Wang Ju also knew that just this sentence, the actual execution was very difficult, and Dali was large in area, but the actual control area was not as large as those marked on the map. It included the important power of the Duan family's rise in the East, namely the 37th black corps, that is, the 37th Wuman, and there were some barbarians, naked-shaped barbarians, Heman, Wangman, Liaoman, Puziman, Shiman, Shunman... and the golden-toothed Baiyiman at the junction of Yunnan and Vietnam. Dali had very weak control over them.

The people of Jiaozhi fled from the mat, some fled to Ailao, some fled to Niuhou, and some fled to Zhenla. A very small number fled to Chameng again. But many people fled to Dali. Most of them fled to this Jintiao Baiyi barbarian area.

However, the Golden-Tooth Baiyi Man has some ugly tribe habits, such as the tribes do not follow each other and wars frequently, so the common men are warriors. Apart from war, hunting, raising birds, and feeding children, they do not do other things. All work is done by women, even if the woman has just given birth, she immediately puts the baby in the river and washes it, and then returns it to her husband, and then goes to the field to do things immediately.

Think about the cautiousness of the people in the Central Plains for confinement.

Even after hearing this, Qiong Niang was so angry that she bit her teeth.

In this way, the population will inevitably be sparse. Men cannot live long because of frequent wars, and women cannot get a good rest because of giving birth. They have many gynecological diseases and cannot live long.

Therefore, its clan has another tradition, which is that it likes to capture prisoners of war as slaves in war, regardless of gender, and increase the number of tribes.

The people of Jiaozhi fled here, and 90% of them became slaves.

But Dali has poor management and control capabilities, so it is very difficult to find the person Wang Ju wants among these slaves.

However, although Wang Ju knew, he kept silent. Duan Zhengming continued: "However, he never found the person he wanted. On the contrary, he heard some people in Shenglong City in Jiaozhi that the Chinese army closed Shenglong City and all the ministers and royal families were executed together..."

"It's not the Chinese army, it's the refugee."

"Even if it's... a refugee, but Jiaozhi's royal nobles were executed together. Shaobao, is the news you heard wrong?"

"You are right, but the group of people I want has nothing to do with the Jiaozhi nobles in Shenglong City before the city was broken. Before the refugees arrived in Shenglong City, Jiaozhi had secretly transferred a large amount of wealth, as well as a small number of royal family members and important officials. After going to Dali, how could they escape with the refugees?"

Duan Zhengming thought to himself, isn’t this arguing?

Dali is so big, with many areas with high mountains and lush forests. Where can I find these dozens of people?

But when he thought of what Wang Ju said before, he finally understood that this person must use troops to Dali!

If Duan cooperates and allows him to successfully destroy Dali, it will give Duan a good end. If Duan does not cooperate, he will forcefully use these dozens of Jiaozhi clan ministers who are not sure whether they are true or false as an excuse to force the troops to Dali.

Thinking of this, he looked a little confused.

If the Duan family really had the strength to control Dali, then Duan Zhengming would inevitably be filled with righteous indignation at this time.

As soon as the key was on the court, Wang Ju pointed it out. Is Dali still the Dali of your Duan family now?

"Crown Prince, I'll have a good rest when I'm here. For the specific situation, I'll let my disciple Huang Hua and Zhao Jing go to Dali to send you to Dali tomorrow to explain the situation."

Duan Zhengming nodded helplessly.

He was not able to decide this matter, so he had to go back and report to his uncle.

Wang Ju sent someone to arrange for Emperor Duan to rest.

Then he said to Huang Hua: "Go and invite Li'er."

"Here." Huang Hua went down and brought a beautiful and beautiful girl for a while. She bowed and said, "I pay homage to Shaobao."

"Don't use too much politeness, sit down."
