Compete for the Song Dynasty

There are still a few things that have not been dealt with beside King Yongzhou, but the initial departure date has been set in three days, Gao Zhisheng is very looking forward to it, after all, he has left Dali for two or three months, although for the ancients, Due to the traffic and communication, it is normal for him to walk for two or three months, but he is not in a hurry. On the surface, he really wants to return home. After the banquet dispersed, Gao Zhisheng returned to the courtyard where he was staying in the palace. Yan'er and Huan'er asked them to pack up and go back. The three of them were laughing, when they heard someone come to report that King Zhennan had invited them.

It was so late, what was Wang Pang doing? Gao Zhisheng followed the messenger to the study suspiciously, and saw Wang Pang sitting at the table drinking tea

Gao Zhisheng sat down opposite the king, and asked curiously: "My dear brother, what's the matter with calling me here now?"

"Brother Gao, I called you here to tell you a story!"

"Telling a story" Gao Zhisheng glanced at Wang's side, and seeing his calm look, he couldn't help but shook his head.

"Why, I don't want to hear it." Wang Pang raised his eyelids and looked at Gao Zhisheng with a smile on his face.

Gao Zhisheng thought silently about what story to tell in the middle of the night. You can see the slightly mysterious smile on the side of the king, knowing that he is not a person who is free to tell stories, so he said angrily: "Tell it, look at your late night More stories to tell!"

"Then Gao Guoxiang, please sit down, let me tell you..." Wang Pang opened his head, watching Gao Zhisheng drink tea with his head down, he knocked his fan on the table, this movement startled Gao Zhisheng, the teacup in his hand shook, lifted Looking at Wang's side: "What kind of table are you knocking on when you tell a story!"

"Hehe, this is called Dingchao reminding you to listen carefully, I'm afraid you'll fall asleep before hearing the wonderful things." Wang Pang said half-jokingly, but his eyes were on Gao Zhisheng, who was sitting opposite the Dali Prime Minister, He is also a handsome and unrestrained person, and he has a good impression of him when he gets along with him, but he has a different affection from Zhe Kejun and others. To Zhe Kejun and others, he is a brother who has been born and died; Li Liangzuo is a child in Wang Pang's eyes, In the eyes of Wang Pang, Yelu Hongji is a mature king; and Li Bo is a brother. Although he is close, Wang Pang will never think of a golden man and iron cavalry one day. This kind of worry is the same as the usual feeling of urging Cai Jingtong, but it is a family relationship. There is a sense of responsibility mixed in it, and this Gao Zhisheng has a similar experience with Wang Pang, and he is also a courtier, so it is inevitable that Wang Pang has a feeling of sympathy.

Gao Zhisheng simply put down his teacup: "Okay, my dear brother, I'll just listen to it and see how exciting this story is!"

Wang Pang cleared his throat and said: "It is said that in the second year of Jin Tianfu (937々, Duan Siping, the governor of Tonghai Jiedu, established himself as king, and his country name was Dali. !"

Gao Zhisheng frowned slightly when he heard that Wang Pang actually talked about Dali, and he said it in a decent way, but quickly looked at Wang Pang calmly and waited for him to continue talking

"This period of Suxing's generation is not directly descended from Duan Siping's direct line. I will not talk about the twists and turns in the middle. I will just say that during Suxing's reign, there was a very popular royal descendant in Dali. This royal descendant is your current emperor of Dali, Duan Silian. , this person is the son of Duan Zhien, the great-grandson of Duan Siping!"

Gao Zhisheng nodded: "Your brother is right, but this story is familiar to everyone in Dali, and I didn't hear anything new!"

Wang Pang took a sip of tea and said, "So I'll refresh you, I'm afraid you'll fall asleep before hearing the excitement, don't interrupt, the excitement will continue!"

Gao Zhisheng shook his head and smiled. Unexpectedly, the majestic prince of the Song Dynasty would start talking about the Dali Kingdom. He heard the king go on to say: "This period of Su Xing is very casual, and very happy; the palace is set up in Tokyo, and more flowers and plants are planted. In spring, yellow flowers are planted on the embankment, named Detour Golden Ridge, and white flowers are planted on Yunjin Bridge, named Yingcheng Yinleng. Every spring moon, prostitutes carry wine with them. From the three springs of the jade case, it is traced back to the Jiuqu Flowing Cup. Men and women sit side by side. Duan Suxing likes flowers and plants, and his life is very romantic and happy. There is also a saying that "flowers bloom when they meet songs, and they move when grass meets dance", so you There is a popular rumor in Dali that 'Suxing is in power, and the lewdness is getting worse'!"

"At that time, there were two powerful ministers in the court, one was Yang Yunxian; he was a prominent family in Dali, and his son Yang Yizhen was also an official in the Dali Palace because of the prestige of the Yang family; the other was very powerful. His family has been a high-ranking official in Dali for generations, and the reason for this starts with Duan Siping’s founding of the Dali Kingdom: Before Dali was established, Duan Siping borrowed troops from the Heichuan 37 barbarian tribe in the east to attack Yang Qianzhen, and he would be good at defending Gao Fang and Duan Siping. Siping was friendly and sent someone to pick him up. In the second year of Tianfu in the Later Jin Dynasty, Duan Siping destroyed Dayining and established the Dali Kingdom. In the third year of Tianfu, Duan Siping made Dong Jialuo the Minister of State and Gao Fang the Marquis of Yue. The two founding heroes, generations of descendants They all hold important positions in Dali, and you..." Wang Pang pointed at Gao Zhisheng

"Brother Gao, you are a ten-generation descendant of Yuehou Gaosheng. Although you have been an official in the Dali Dynasty due to family reasons, you have always had close contacts with Duan Siping's descendants during the family age. Quite Duan Silian got along very well!"

Gao Zhisheng sat up straight after being pointed at by Wang Pang. It would not be surprising if Wang Pang, the emperors of all generations since the founding of Dali, could tell about it, or even know some things about the Dali court. Even the direct line of the branch knew it clearly, Gao Zhisheng couldn't help but feel nervous, he looked at the Wang side calmly, neither answering nor denying

Wang Pang was not asking him, he leaned forward slightly and said in a lower voice than before: "Since Duan Siping's throne fell to the same vein as Duan Jiasu, the Gao family has followed the ancestors' precepts for generations to help Duan surname Sisi. Zi Yimai regained the throne, and this kind of struggle became a game of two forces in the court, one was the Gao family, and the other was the imperialist Yang family. The members of the Gao clan found an opportunity to overthrow Duan Suxing and make Duan Silian the emperor. However, the Yang family was not reconciled. In the eighth year of Jiayou in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yang family rebelled. Yang Yunxian rebelled, so he was given the land of Baiya and Dian, and he was promoted to Marquis of Shanchan, and the power was poured into the court!"

Gao Zhisheng felt a coolness on his back, running up his spine, how did Wang Pang know so much, Wang Pang saw a trace of fear in his eyes, and thought that today he was not trying to scare him away, knowing that the heat was almost ready, he slightly With a smile: "These are not secrets, are they, Brother Gao!"

"The story of my virtuous brother is very exciting. Is this the end of the story? Then what happened next?" Gao Zhisheng also smiled slightly and said calmly

This kind of talent makes Wang Pang interesting. He usually seems to be careless, even a little weak. When he first came here, he looked a bit useless, but from the two contests outside the gate of Songshou County, Wang Pang has already seen that there is something hidden in Gao Zhisheng's heart. A lot of energy, this is what makes Wang Bang appreciate him

"Come, come, brother Gao, drink some water first, and listen to me." Wang Pang poured water for Gao Zhisheng himself, stood up and walked two steps by the table with his hands behind his back, and then said: "Although Yang Yunxian was wiped out, there is a saying It is said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Yang Yunxian had already saved his hand in case of failure. His son Yang Yizhen hid the rest of his family with a huge sum of money, and there were also remnants of Yang Yunxian's accomplices in the court. While blowing the wind, we must beware of your high achievements and great power, the prime minister of the country, and even more so, you must guard against your high position and power waiting for an opportunity to seize the position. Therefore, I think that although Brother Gao has a high official and rich salary in the past few years, you have gradually lost your military power. I feel that in today's situation, even the Baiya and other places you are guarding are not worth [-] troops, Yang Yizhen is not wrong about this!" [

Seeing that Gao Zhisheng didn't answer, Wang Pang smiled slightly: "Brother Gao still misses the old feelings in his heart, so he avoided it again and again. It was not until after Jia Qing gave advice that you came to Yongzhou, and at the same time sent someone to investigate Yang Yizhen's whereabouts, so you just wanted to regain your strength. Shengwei, Brother Gao, am I right!"

"Hahaha" Yang Yizhen burst into laughter suddenly, and then clapped his hands together: "Sure enough, the King of Zhennan, who is known as resourceful, knows my Dali affairs in such detail, but although the story is good, I am afraid that with your Yongzhou military strength , even you can't help Yang Yizhen!"

"It's okay if I can't do anything, brother Gao, you can do anything, but it will take a few years!"

"Wait a few years, you mean, there is no way to suppress Yang Yizhen this time!"

"Why do you want to suppress the pacification? Now your emperor, Duan Silian, already intends to recruit Yang Yizhen, and it was a hit-and-miss matter. The Yang family, like your Gao family, is also waiting for an opportunity to help Duan Suzi's lineage. Do you think he really wants to become king on his own?" !"

Hearing this, Gao Zhisheng stood up immediately. He didn't know how the king would know about it. He paced in the room and said, "No, it's impossible. It's so difficult for me to go to court with that Yang Yizhen." As an official, how can the emperor be so confused!"

Wang watched Gao Zhisheng pacing, but he returned to the table and sat down. He understood Gao Zhisheng's mood very well, and anyone would be so surprised, but Emperor Dali really planned to do this, and Yang Yizhen will become popular again in the future At that time, there will be a duel between Gao Zhisheng and Yang Yizhen. Not only that, Gao Zhisheng's descendants will seize the power of Dali. All this is very easy because Wang Pang knows the history well, but Wang Pang occasionally himself Also lingering whether history will change because of his existence

"He who understands current affairs is a brilliant man. Brother Gao, I suggest you be patient for a while!"

"Hmph, this story has some new ideas, but I still don't believe it, my dear brother, can you count it as a secret!"

Wang Pang said to himself, "I don't need to count these things at all. The real threat to Dali this time is not Yang Yizhen at all. As for what I just said, if you don't believe me, just wait and see. Yang Yizhen will definitely do it this time. If you want to go to Dali with you and me, and to show your sincerity, if you want to attack him, but your inhumanity will fulfill his righteousness instead!"

Gao Zhisheng listened to Wang Pang's words, took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "Hmph, it seems that the younger brother has mastered the secret first!"

"If you don't believe it, your Majesty Dali will recruit Yang Yizhen and add an official to Yang Yizhen. Brother Gao, if you use Yang Yizhen to check and balance you from Duan Silian's point of view, it's for the sake of the country, then there is nothing wrong with it. You don't have to think about it!"

Gao Zhisheng gritted his teeth: "I hurt the tiger's will. If the Holy One is only for the country, then I will bear it, but I still don't believe it!"

"Well, as long as Yang Yizhen walks with us like I said this time, what should you say!"

"Haha, if you don't mind this matter, dear brother, I, Gao Zhisheng, will listen to you in the future. Of course, the premise is to do it for me." Gao Zhisheng said decisively
