The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 763 Duan Xingzhi died
"You deserve it, you deserve it."

He Wuzhou Zhizhou raised his head and said again and again: "Marshal played the prestige of our Great Song Dynasty in this battle, and he should be a role model for our Great Song Dynasty."

As he spoke, he secretly praised, "It would be great if the next official is also a martial arts practitioner. It would be a joy to follow the marshal to kill Dali."

Zhang Jue sighed lightly and shook his head, and stopped talking.

Some things don't make sense to say.

In the autumn of national calamity, their military feats have indeed made great achievements, which is enviable.But how many soldiers paid their lives for this?
In comparison, although civil servants have been very busy in recent years, they are still much better than generals.

Happy is happy.

But who is really happy in his heart?
Seeing that Zhang Jue stopped talking to Wuzhou Zhizhou, he secretly winked at an official next to him.

The official shouted to the people on both sides of the official road: "Folks, what are you still doing? Hurry up and reward our returning warriors!"

Finally, some people walked towards the army.

However, none of the soldiers in the army took the food in their hands, they just stood still.

Some soldiers couldn't help crying when they saw their parents bringing the food, but they didn't reach out to pick it up either.

In the army, there is discipline in the army.

This made the parents cry too.

If it is possible, who would like to send their children to the army to join the army?

It's good that many people have many children in their families these days, but which child is not their own flesh and blood?
The most painful thing in the world is white hair and black hair.

But how many people can return to the battle in ancient times?

It is a joy to see the child return triumphantly this time.Who can say for sure, how many times will we see each other in this life?

The families of the imperial guards of the Great Song Dynasty received preferential treatment, and many families glorified their ancestors because of this.But most people feel guilty about the children who joined the army.

This preferential treatment, this honor, is all earned by the child with all his hard work!

But who can blame the emperor?
If the Song Dynasty does not fight, it will only be destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty or Dali and other countries.At that time, it will be difficult to have eggs under the cover of the nest. Who can live as nourished as they are now?
"Take it all, don't disappoint the kindness of the folks."

Zhang Jue was silent for a while, and finally sighed softly.

In an instant, some soldiers and their parents hugged each other and cried.

One by one, the soldiers took the food from the villagers with red eyes and devoured it hungrily.

But it's not because of hunger.

This mouthful of food is the concern of the folks.It is also possible that it will be a send-off meal.

A battle between Yongzhou and Dali was enough for the soldiers to realize that the Song Dynasty was far from being stable.

The negotiation between Song and Yuan did not mean that Song Dynasty could really rest for five years.If the world is not unified, there will be no real peace, and these forbidden troops will always have a mission.

……

The capital of Dali.

There is Mr. Pianpian who brings a spirited old man into the city.

Duan Qilin, and an old man in gray robe.

This gray-robed old man is not the Palace Master of the Pojun, but judging by his imposing manner, he is not much worse than the Palace Master of the Pojun.Obviously, he is also a leading figure in the Pojun Academy.

The two walked through the still gloomy street and walked all the way to the palace without talking.

When he reached the gate of the palace, he was stopped by the guards.

Duan Qilin took a piece of square silver from his waist.

The expressions of the imperial guards changed slightly, and they all fell to their knees, "Kowtow to His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Duan Xingzhi of Dali is just such a single seedling.Right now, the monarch is said to be dying, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has rushed back.

These imperial guards didn't know Duan Qilin, the mysterious prince, but they recognized the square seal in his hand.

This is the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

It has long been rumored that the monarch has handed over the jade seal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as if he is only in charge of the Dali Kingdom on behalf of the Crown Prince, but I did not expect this to be the case.

These imperial guards may not know much about the affairs of the Dali court, but at this moment, they suddenly understand why there is no undercurrent in the court these days when the emperor is dying.

Those royal clansmen who are likely to ascend the throne are all very honest and have no intention of coveting the throne at all.I'm afraid... I already knew what the emperor wanted?
They are naturally still different.

Duan Xingzhi was dying, who he wanted to be crowned was actually not that important at all.Those royal family members in Dali dare not covet the throne, but they are actually afraid of Duan Qilin.

Although Duan Qilin has not been in Dali all year round, how many of the high-level officials in Dali don't know the power and means of His Highness the Crown Prince?

Wasn't that unpredictable young man Qin Han who helped to establish the Dali Forbidden Army at the beginning the subordinate of His Highness the Crown Prince?

After the establishment of the Forbidden Army, the appointment of the generals in the army, Duan Xingzhi, the monarch, followed Qin Han's wishes.

Ah.

The forbidden army in Dali is said to be the forbidden army of the monarch, but it is better to say that it is the forbidden army of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The emperor had already handed over the domestic military power to the prince, and he was only short of his title from enthronement.If the crown prince was willing, the monarch would have already abdicated to be the overlord.

Who the hell dares to covet the throne so easily?

That is courting death.

Without squinting, Duan Qilin took back the jade seal and went straight into the palace with the gray-robed old man.

The commander of the imperial guards thought about it, and followed behind with someone.This will also prevent someone from bumping into His Highness the Crown Prince.

Moreover, the crown prince's accession to the throne was a foregone conclusion, so he didn't want to miss this opportunity to show his face in front of His Royal Highness.

Duan Qilin didn't say anything about it.

All the way to the depths of the palace.

More and more people knew that His Royal Highness returned to the palace, and all the imperial guards knelt down along the way.

Finally, when Duan Qilin arrived at Duan Xingzhi's bedroom, the news of his return to the palace naturally spread outside the palace.

The ministers of civil and military affairs of Dali outside the palace were not calm for a moment.

After all, the time for the handover of the throne is coming, and it is impossible that this will not have any impact on them.

Xiangtai Hall.

Walking to the door of Duan Xingzhi's bedroom, Duan Qilin looked up at the door plaque, and suddenly sighed, "It's still early after all..."

I don't know what he is regretting.

Then, he walked towards the hall.And the gray-robed old man actually followed behind him.

In the dormitory, Duan Xingzhi, who was dying of illness, was lying on the bed, his face pale.

There are a few noble women wearing golden hairpins and precious jade on their heads. Although they are not young, they can all see that they were stunning when they were young.

This is Duan Xingzhi's queen and several favored concubines.

Next to it, there are some maids in waiting.

Hearing Duan Qilin's footsteps, everyone turned their heads.

The faces of the noble concubines changed slightly.

The queen was overjoyed, and greeted her again and again: "My child, you are back."

Duan Qilin just nodded slightly, then walked to the side of the bed, "Father, the child is back."

He spent very little time in Dali in his life, and no one could tell how deep his affection for Duan Xingzhi and the empress' biological parents was.

Several noble concubines quietly stood a little further away.

Duan Xingzhi is not physically fit, none of them could bear him a son and a half.He didn't have the money to fight Duan Qilin, so he didn't dare to be dishonest.

On the bed, Duan Xingzhi slowly opened his eyes, staring at Duan Qilin.

This look is complicated.

There is hope, there is hatred, and there is guilt.

But Duan Qilin understood and waved his hand.

Several noble concubines walked out of the house with great interest.

Duan Qilin then said: "Father, don't worry, the child will avenge your revenge. In this world, the child will hold it in his hands sooner or later."

Duan Xingzhi still looked at him, his mouth opened and closed slightly, but unfortunately he couldn't speak.

Duan Qilin frowned slightly.

He and Duan Xingzhi looked at each other for a while, then looked back at the queen.

Finally sighed, "I know my father sent me to Shu as a last resort, I don't blame you."

If he stayed in Dali, he might not have to endure any hardships, and he would live a lifetime of prosperity, but he would definitely not have the current ability.

He must have resented in his heart why his father and mother sent him to Sichuan to suffer.In Shuzhong, he didn't even know how many life and death crises he had suffered before.

The father, the queen, and the queen didn't even send anyone to protect him, they just ignored him.

It was too high a expectation for him.

No pain No gain.

Duan Xingzhi knew that his aptitude was limited, so he would rather take risks than train him.Isn't this moderate Dali monarch actually a person with great ambitions in his heart?
On the bed, Duan Xingzhi slightly closed his eyes after hearing these words.

There were two tears slowly falling from the corners of his eyes.

Finally, I don't have to hold on to this mess of Dali anymore...

No one understands how physically and mentally exhausted he has to support Dali and flatter the Yuan Dynasty all these years for him who is not outstanding in Wencheng and Wuzhi.

Fortunately, after all, there is a son far superior to him who can take over.

hate it?

Duan Xingzhi definitely hated Da Song.

But maybe, not particularly hate.

He raised his hand slightly, as if he wanted to touch Duan Qilin's face again, but in the end he didn't touch it, and dropped it again.

"emperor!"

The Empress let out a cry of pain.

Duan Xingzhi, the monarch of Dali... died.
