Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 471 Planting a Big Thunder (Two in One)

Chengdu government office.

Yang Chen knelt down in the hall humbly.

"Foreign Minister Yang Chen pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of China, and wishes His Majesty the Emperor a long life without bounds."

Yang Chen is the patriarch of the Yang family in Dali. The Bai family in Dali is the largest family. The Duan family, the Gao family, the Yang family, and the Dong family are all from the Bai family.

The surname Yang accounts for a full 53% of the Bai people. There were more than [-] high-ranking officials in Nanzhao at that time, and the surname Yang accounted for [-] people. There are [-] figures on the Dehua Stele in Nanzhao, and [-] of them have the surname Yang. indivual.

It is also because of this that the status of the Yang family is very embarrassing no matter in Nanzhao before or in Dali now.

Yang Jiaqiang?

Strong, but few really climbed to the top.

It is because the Yang family is too strong, neither the Nanzhao king nor the current Dali Duan family emperor can not use the Yang family, nor dare to reuse the Yang family.

It's not that the emperor of the Duan family has never thought of uniting with the Yang family to deal with the Gao family, but if the Gao family is really dealt with, who will deal with the Yang family?
The rise of the Gao family is due to the fact that Conglong, the founding hero, has only risen for 30 to [-] years, without any foundation.

The Yang family is a powerful family that has been strong for hundreds of years. If the Yang family is really going to rise, it is hard to say whether the Duan family can become emperor.

So it's not that the Duan family didn't know how to use the Yang family to deal with the Gao family, but that they didn't dare.

It wasn't until Zhong Yuan intervened that the Duan family dared to conspire with the Yang family.

After all, only the Central Plains can hold down the Gao and Yang families.

"No courtesy, sit down!"

Luo Youdu gestured for Yang Chen to take a seat, secretly amused: Dali's Gao family and Yang family are all contacting him, selling their country and selling their land.

Only the Duan family didn't say anything.

Is it because I don't want to express, I don't want to hug Zhongyuan's thigh?

No, because of ineligibility.

Gao Fang has nothing to do with the Yang family, and why not Duan Sicong?

When he returned to Dali, he put Duan Sicong under house arrest in disguise.

Yang Chen didn't dare to look directly at the emperor of the Central Plains, took a glance, and sat upright.

Luo Youdu said: "I have learned from Ma Shuai that your son's cooperation in Dongchuan County is very gratifying. I don't trust the Gao family. The operation of the Dongchuan mine depends on your Yang family to take care of it." One or two."

Yang Chen said loudly: "The foreign ministers will not disappoint His Majesty the Emperor."

He got up and worshiped in front of the hall with some humility, and said: "Although the foreign minister is far away in the southern border, he loves the culture of the Central Plains and yearns for the prosperity of the heavenly kingdom. When he was young, he wanted to study in the Central Plains. Like Tang Xuanzang, he went to the Central Plains. Seek the classics of Confucius and Mencius. It’s just that the family and country are in turmoil, so it’s inconvenient to travel far. I have a son named Yang Yunren, who is obsessed with the culture of the Central Plains just like a foreign minister. I wonder if I can follow Your Majesty to study in the Central Plains?”

In Yang Chen's words, there is admiration for and yearning for the Central Plains.

Luo Youdu understood, he thought of the Nanzhao King Piluo Pavilion back then.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were six relatively powerful small countries in the Erhai region, each of which was ruled by six kings. They were called the Six Edicts, namely: Mengxuan Edict, Yuexi Edict, Langqiong Edict, Bingyi Edict, and Shi Lang Edict , Mengshezhao.Among them, Mengshezhao is in the south of Zhuzhao, called Nanzhao.

The reason why Nanzhao was able to rise and unify the six imperial edicts was because Pi Luoge kept kneeling and licking Tang Dynasty.As a result, it got the support of Datang, unified the six imperial edicts, and only then did it become the dominant power in the south.

Yang Chen is so humble, he must have a big plan, and he might want to become the second Piluo Pavilion.

After all, when the Nanzhao kingdom was destroyed, the Yang family was the first to rise.

Yang Qianzhen established Dayi Ningguo, but was defeated by Duan Siping.

Luo Youdu said: "It's rare for Mr. Yang to yearn for the Central Plains so much. I agree. I not only want to satisfy your son's wish, but also Mr. Yang's desire to learn. After returning to Beijing, I will choose well-educated people from the Central Plains to give lectures in Dali , and sorted out the classics of Confucius and Mencius and sent them to Dali. In addition, I authorized Dali students to enter Chengdu and even study in Beijing.”

Yang Chen looked overjoyed, and said: "In this way, we people in the remote southern wilderness can also learn the words of the sages of Confucius and Mencius. Your Majesty's benevolence will shine through the ages."

Luo Youdu and Yang Chen had a brief discussion around this aspect to set the tone.

Yang Chen needs the support of the Central Plains to increase his influence, so as to achieve his ulterior ambitions.

Luo Youdu needs to promote the culture of the Central Plains in Dali through Yang Yan, so as to achieve a great unity of thought.

Take what you need.

It happened that Luo Youdu originally planned to use Zhuge Liang's influence to make a fuss and break into the beliefs of the people of Dali.

Well now, with Confucius and Mencius on the left and Zhuge Liang on the right, Dali will be cleansed spiritually and soulfully.

Yang Chen may not be able to see Luo Youdu's ambition, but there is no overall situation that matters.

Your own interests are the overall situation.

Only by kneeling and licking the Central Plains can the interests be maximized.

As for Dali?

The Yang family, the Gao family, who else puts the Duan family in their eyes?

Luo Youdu asked Yang Chen to be sent away from the government office, and took the gift list beside him.

This is an important gift from Yang Yan, and there are as many as a hundred kinds.

Luo Youdu's eyes fell on an emerald and white jade bracelet from the Bagan Dynasty, and asked someone to fetch the bracelet.

Luo Youdu looked at the white and moist white jade bracelet in his hand, quite surprised.Generally speaking, the greener the jadeite, the purer it is.

This kind of white glass jadeite in his hand is rare.

Putting the white jade jade bracelet in his bag, Luo Youdu walked back to the inner hall.

Mrs. Huarui is tidying up the clothes, her pretty appearance is slightly sad.

Knowing the news that she was about to return to the north, thinking about Fu Qing'er and others who were about to face Bianjing, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Compared with the status of the daughter of the king of Wei, Fu Qing'er, the daughter of the handsome Zhesai Lace, and the daughter of Zhou Ehuang's Jiangnan celebrity, she is even more talented than the Jiangnan of the Central Plains.

As a married woman, I really can't stand on the stage.

Mrs. Huarui's purpose at the beginning was pure, she didn't want to become prostitute.Even if it is unavoidable to become a plaything, it must be one's plaything.

Facing Luo Youdu, she showed off her appearance and means as soon as she met, secretly teasing and seducing the servant.

After getting in touch these days, Mrs. Huarui found that Luo Youdu's voice and appearance were no different from ordinary people, and she took care of and served her tenderly, enjoying it and being inspired by it.

But whenever he encounters a serious matter, he can always restrain himself and put the matter first.

No matter how crazy he is, he will get up on time to exercise, read books, and deal with government affairs.

He would mess around with himself, even prostitution during the day, but it was all after the official business was done.

In the face of complicated state affairs, Dali's military affairs, and even the Jiangnan war situation thousands of miles away, he commanded it with certainty, and the civil servants and military generals used their arms and fingers, and everyone from the top to the bottom was convinced.

Mrs. Huarui watched from the side, feeling admiration in her heart.

Compared with Meng Chang, who caused the entire Shu people to suffer because of his own words, the difference is immeasurable.

It is my greatest blessing to be able to serve such a person.

Mrs. Huarui thought to herself, serving her more attentively.

It wasn't until she received the news of her return to the north that Mrs. Huarui woke up.

I was the only one in Chengdu, but it was different when I returned to Bianjing.

What if the queen in the palace despises herself, or loses her favor?
Can not help but worry about gains and losses!

Seeing Mrs. Huarui's expression was different, Luo Youdu pretended not to know, stepped inside, and said: "Madam rubbed my shoulders, these days I have met some old and stubborn people, and I am exhausted. I don't know if they are uncomfortable or not. I'm old, kneeling and sitting respectfully, I'm so tired that I don't dare to move my shoulders rashly. Lest they be like my Prime Minister Dou, who read "Book of Rites" to admonish themselves."

Mrs. Huarui stepped forward with a light smile, and said: "Your Majesty is a virtuous monarch, so he will take care of them. If you were a mediocre lord, how could you care about these..."

Her delicate hands pinched Luo Youdu's shoulders lightly.

Luo Youdu enjoyed the beauty's service. Looking at the slender and slender fingers like white jade on his shoulders, he covered them with his hands, pulled them forward slightly, looked at them carefully, and said: "Ice muscles and bones, what you said is true, "

Mrs. Huarui leaned against Luo Youdu's back, not showing much shame, but leaned her chin on his shoulder generously, and blew lightly on her neck.

It's cool and very comfortable.

Luo Youdu played with that delicate little hand, put on the emerald and white jade bracelet, and said with a smile: "Why do I think this emerald and white jade bracelet is not as fair as my wife's skin?"

Mrs. Huarui looked at the exquisite jade bracelet on her wrist, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

Luo Youdu said: "This is a gift from Marquis Shanchan of Dali. I just thought about it when I got it. This beautiful jade is not as white as my wife's skin. I took it for a try, and it really is. Sigh, I was thinking of giving my wife some jewelry. Let it set off Madam's appearance, I don't want this exquisite emerald and white jade bracelet to look vulgar on Madam's body."

Mrs. Huarui said softly: "I like it, I like it very much."

Luo Youdu smiled and said: "That's good, if Madam likes it, I will be happy."

Madam Huarui looked at the emerald and white jade bracelet in her hand, and the sadness in her eyes dissipated a lot: "Your Majesty!"

Mrs. Huarui hugged Luo Youdu from behind and rubbed against her.

Luo Youdu was suddenly distracted, turned around and kissed Mrs. Huarui's small mouth, and said softly: "Go to the back room and wait for me. I will finally meet Ouyang and come back to find you."

Mrs. Huarui's eyebrows were bright, and she said with a smile: "I am waiting for Your Majesty."

Luo Youdu rested for a while, and then got the news that Ouyang asked to see him.

Luo Youdu returned to the main hall of the government office and received Ouyang Hui.

Ouyang Hui followed Wu Zhaoyi to govern Shu.

It was spring plowing time, and Wu Zhaoyi and Ouyang Hui had abolished the tax credit system for peony flowers, restored the old habit of growing grain and mulberry in Bashu, and encouraged the mountain people to cultivate.

They did not use any clever policies to set off their abilities, and let the people face a policy system that they did not understand at all. Instead, they pragmatically used the old system to allow the people to resume production as soon as possible, and the results obtained were very obvious.

The series of methods used by Wu Zhaoyi and Ouyang Hui in Sichuan just proved that what is old is not necessarily bad.

Times need innovation, but not blind innovation.

Luo Youdu was very satisfied with the performance of Wu Zhaoyi and Ouyang Hui, so he planned to reuse Ouyang Hui and let him be in charge of the administrative affairs of Jianchang Mansion.

Ouyang Hui served as the minister of rites in Shu, had experience in contacting the minority nationalities in Shu, and also had contacts with Dali, so he knew what the barbarians needed and how to make them return to their hearts.

Jianchang Mansion is an important place connecting the ancient tea-horse road with central Sichuan, and it is necessary to deal with Dali, Tubo and even Myanmar and Tianzhu.

Ouyang Hui is a very suitable candidate.

Luo Youdu is relieved to hand over Jianchang Mansion to him.

However, regarding the copper mine in Dongchuan County, Luo Youdu needs to advise a few words.

The copper mine in Dongchuan County is a mine that Luo Youdu planted for Dali, and it must be dealt with properly.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

Ouyang Hui was in high spirits and his eyes were piercing. He was a completely different person from a few months ago.
In Meng Chang's hands, he has nothing to do, he is like a moth, obedient to his promises, and spared his life.

He couldn't do what Wu Zhaoyi did, just throw up his sleeves and quit.

He has to support his family and has to eat and live.No matter how unsatisfactory you are, you have to persevere.

But after Luo Youdu destroyed Shu, Ouyang returned to his previous passion. He seemed to be 20 years younger, and he was energetic in everything.

"My love is free!"

Luo Youdu pointed to the stool beside him and asked him to take a seat, and said: "I think Aiqing has already got the news, and I am going to promote you to be the governor of Jianchang. Do you have the confidence to take on this heavy responsibility?"

Ouyang Hui did not hesitate: "Yes, I will never disappoint His Majesty's trust."

Luo Youdu said: "I will use you immediately, so I believe in your ability. I asked you to come not for Jianchang, but for Dongchuan County. You must know something about the situation in Dongchuan County. How do you know about my arrangement? What opinion?"

Ouyang pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty's move is the only feasible way. Dongchuan County is in a special situation and has complicated terrain. Unless Shicheng County is taken together, it is impossible to completely control Dongchuan County. Your Majesty will rule Dongchuan with Dali The county is indeed a master. However, I think that it will last for five years at most, and after ten years, it will collapse."

A glint of approval flashed in Luo Youdu's eyes, and he said, "Go ahead!"

Ouyang replied: "Frightened by His Majesty's prestige, the Yang family and the Gao family dare not think otherwise in the short term. But as time goes by, Your Majesty's thoughts will be on Khitan or the Western Regions, and the threat to the Southwest will definitely decline. Not surprisingly, they will first mobilize the [-]% of the benefits that His Majesty gave to absenteeism. Then they will mobilize the remaining [-]% of the benefits of His Majesty..."

Luo Youdu asked: "Do you think they have the guts?"

Ouyang Hui said without hesitation: "Interests touch people's hearts. There is nothing to be afraid of. Although the Yang and Gao families are hostile, at that time, they will tacitly share the interests in His Majesty's hands. Both of them Without greed, there will be no checks and balances.”

Luo Youdu clapped his hands and said, "Aiqing has a high opinion. I will order later that Dongchuan County be under the jurisdiction of Jianchang. As for Dongchuan County, I want you to delegate power and let Yang and Gao do whatever they want."

"Your Majesty?" Ouyang Hui looked at Luo Youdu unexpectedly.

Luo Youdu said: "The [-]% profit I give to absenteeism is to buy people's hearts, and I want all absenteeism in Dongchuan County to remember my favor. They want to be greedy, let them be greedy, and they must tacitly share the food in Dongchuan County. It's up to them. What Aiqing has to do is to control the evidence. The more greedy they are, the more excuses I have to send troops. I never care about Dongchuan County. Once he arrives, no matter what Duan family, Gao family, or Yang family, he has to be obedient."

Ouyang Hui took a deep breath, understood what Luo Youdu was planning, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, this Dongchuan County would be the reason for Dali's demise.

If there is a hero like this, how can he not do his best?

Ouyang Hui's blood boiled, and he shouted: "I understand."
