The Most Powerful Man in the World

The clan elder flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "If you think that the identity of that child will bring shame to my royal family, then it is better for us to make the decision, and your majesty will pass on the throne to the other children of the clan, like this As soon as it comes, Qinglu is no longer the identity of my Xixia princess, so if you think about it, it will not make us Xixia lose face."

The clan elder's voice fell, and Li Ganshun, who had a dissatisfied expression on his face, suddenly seemed to be strangled by the neck. He looked at the two clan elders in disbelief, as if he was judging whether the words of the two clan elders were true. Joke with him.

In all countries in the world, unless they are the founding monarchs, the monarchs are often not the strong ones in the realm of heaven and man. After all, as the emperor, he manages all kinds of affairs, and the prime minister has all the affairs of the government. .

In this way, no matter how outstanding the talent is before ascending the throne, once ascending the throne, it is obviously impossible to have both.

You must know that Zhao Kuangyin is as strong as the great ancestor of the Song Dynasty. Before he ascended the throne, he was a strong man in heaven and man.

It is even considered by many people that Zhao Kuangyin is the most promising powerhouse in that era, and who has the most hope of advancing to the Heavenly Master Realm. It still makes many people sigh.

It can be said that there is an example of Zhao Kuangyin before, but for the strong who are interested in cultivation, very few people will go to the throne of the emperor. Of course, as the emperor, it does not mean that one can abolish the establishment, unless it is a member of the clan. Only when all the heavens and men have the same opinion, can the emperor be truly abolished.

It is like the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Even if they were sent to the capital, they were very dissatisfied with the emperor, because the opinions of the gods and people were not unified, so they could not abolish the emperor at all.

For example, in the Western Xia royal family, among the royal family, there are only two powerhouses in the realm of heaven and man. As long as these two have a unified opinion, it is not impossible to abolish Li Ganshun's throne as the emperor.

Just when Li Ganshun was quite frightened in his heart, he heard another heavenly being coughed softly: "Since he ascended the throne, His Majesty has been diligent in managing affairs, and there has never been a shortage of worship for us. We all see it in our eyes, and hope that Your Majesty will not be emotional, and everything should be based on the overall interests of the country."

No matter how unwilling he is, facing the steps given by the clan elder, unless Li Ganshun really wants to give up the throne to someone else, otherwise, he can only follow the steps given by the clan elder. down.

With a wry smile on his face, Li Ganshun nodded towards the two clan elders and said, "Since that's the case, I will make arrangements here, hoping that Qinglu's sacrifice will really dispel Chu Yi's anger."

I have to say that Li Ganshun's efficiency is still very high. After selecting some rare treasures from the treasury, Li Gan ordered by the way that the third princess Li Qinglu would make an apology to Chu Yi on behalf of the Xixia Kingdom.

Anyway, Li Ganshun still has a bit of face, he can never decree to tell the world that he should give his princess to Chu Yi, so he can only be euphemistic.

But above the court, who can sit firmly on the court, who is not a person with exquisite mind, and perhaps not everyone in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty can see the purpose of Li Ganshun sending Li Qinglu as an envoy, but some people see it Out of clues, showing a strange look.

It didn't take long for the news to spread. Due to the royal face, everyone just passed it on in private. Even so, in less than a day, the people of the entire capital knew an astonishing news. That is, their country chief gave his beloved princess to His Royal Highness King Song of the Great Song Dynasty.

Everyone has the mentality of gossip, not to mention the royal family and the well-known third princess Li Qinglu.

Few people have heard of Chu Yi's name in the Song Dynasty, but in Xixia, in this era, for ordinary people, many news have no channels at all, and the Xixia court intentionally blocked, so it is said Chu Yi's name is really rarely known in Xixia.

But this time it was because of the royal family and Li Qinglu, the princess of Xixia, that everyone knew it.

The person who thought that Xixia could send the princess was definitely not an ordinary person, but when these people knew about Chu Yi's identity and origin, I don't know how many people were dumbfounded.

Indeed, Chu Yi's identity is indeed unusual. To be able to become the most powerful prince in the Song Dynasty from an internal servant can be regarded as an existence that can abolish a monarch. Their Xixia princesses can be said to be high, but they really let them go. What they found unbelievable was the origin of Chu Yi's inner servant.

When they thought that their princess was going to be given to a eunuch, these people felt awkward.

However, no matter how much the people talked about it, the common people couldn't change the will of the king of a country. According to the will, no matter what Li Qinglu thought in his heart, he had to accompany the mission on the day chosen by the king.

Xixia sent the princess to apologize to Chu Yi. Naturally, such a big thing could not be concealed from the spies of various countries. It can be said that once the news came out, the spies of various countries sent the news back as soon as possible.

When the Tubo King got the news, his first reaction was to laugh. Li Ganshun lost all face after laughing, but after laughing, the Tubo King's expression gradually became serious.

After all, he is also the lord of a country. The lord of Tubo is not a fool, and Li Ganshun is not a faint-hearted monarch, but he was forced to make such a shameless decision. What does this mean? .

If there is a choice, I believe that Li Ganshun will never do such a thing. After all, Xixia is afraid of Chu Yi.

Thinking of Chu Yi's record, the Tubo king couldn't help but feel a sudden shock, but soon the Tubo king encouraged himself. The reason why Xixia was afraid of Chu Yi was because Xixia was too short to establish a country and had no confidence.

But they are different from Tubo. Not to mention the other, the existence on Daxue Mountain alone is enough to ensure that Tubo's inheritance will not be destroyed for hundreds of years.

Almost immediately, the lord of Tubo made a decision. On the same day, there was a will from the royal court, and the lord of Tubo would go to Daxue Mountain to meet the Buddha in person.

However, because Dali was not moved by Dajin in the previous episode, he said that he did not send a strong man to help Dajin. Therefore, Duan Zhengming, the king of a country, was not as flustered as the king of Xixia and the king of Tubo.

It was only at this moment that Duan Zhengming also summoned Wang's younger brother Duan Zhengchun and several important officials to discuss how to make Dali more able to protect himself when facing the Great Song Dynasty.

Duan Zhengming glanced at the people present, and said with a light cough: "Everyone, Xixia sent the princess to apologize in person. I don't know what everyone thinks."

A minister sneered when he heard the words: "Then Li Ganshun also knows what shame is, but he didn't clearly send his daughter to His Royal Highness King Song, but his thoughts were hidden from anyone, and it was just a joke."

As Gao Taiming, who was thinking about it again, coughed lightly, and everyone's eyes immediately fell on Gao Taiming. Dali Duan and Gao shared the world, and even Gao's strength was a bit stronger than Duan's, so Gao Taiming's No one dared to ignore the attitude.

I just heard Gao Taiming say: "Although Li Ganshun's move seems absurd, but what kind of character Li Ganshun is, if there is no other way, how could he make such a choice."

Saying that, Gao Taiming said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, people without far-sightedness must have near-term worries. Among all countries, I am a small country and weak. Whether it is Xixia or Song Dynasty, it is not my Dali that can resist it. Zhengsheng, he may not be able to swallow my Dali in the future, please make an early decision."

Hearing what Gao Taiming said, the expressions of everyone present changed greatly. They are the ruling class of Dali, and they can be said to be vested interests. Everyone, nine out of ten people are unwilling.

Once incorporated into the Great Song Dynasty, even the most powerful Gao clan would probably decline from then on, so the expressions of everyone present became extremely solemn.

Duan Zhengming took a deep breath and looked at Gao Taiming and said, "Does Gao Qing's family have any strategy to solve my dangerous situation in Dali?"

Even if it is not about to be annexed immediately, it is a potential threat. If there is a way to solve it, it will be the best.

Everyone's eyes fell on Gao Taiming, and they saw Gao Taiming stroke his beard and narrowed his eyes: "I dare to ask your majesty to forgive me, otherwise I will not dare to say..."

Slightly stunned, Duan Zhengming immediately said: "Although the Qing family is blunt, I will not blame the Qing family for their words."

Gao Taiming stroked his beard and said, "Although Li Ganshun's actions seem to have made Xixia lose face, is it not an act of showing weakness, in case that Princess Qinglu falls into the eyes of King Song..."

Duan Zhengchun said subconsciously: "No way, that one is a servant..."

Gao Taiming glanced at Duan Zhengchun lightly and said, "What about the servants, who has ruled that servants are not good for women, don't they know that there are many servants who marry wives and take concubines?"

Duan Zhengchun was dumbfounded.

But I didn't know that Gao Taiming was looking at Duan Zhengchun with a strange look, and he heard Gao Taiming say to Duan Zhengchun: "I heard that the county masters under King Zhennan's knees are all beautiful, virtuous and virtuous... …”

Duan Zhengchun was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted. He seemed to have thought of something, his face changed greatly, and he pointed at Gao Taiming with a shocked expression: "Gao Taiming, you... What do you mean by this?"

Gao Taiming stroked his beard and looked at Duan Zhengchun with a smile on his face: "This minister's meaning is exactly what the lord has in mind!"

Duan Zhengchun took a step back subconsciously, pointed at Gao Taiming and said in a trembling voice, "You...you..."

At this moment, even an idiot could see that, contacting Gao Taiming's words and Duan Zhengchun's reaction, everyone present, including the emperor Duan Zhengming, understood what Gao Taiming meant.

They hadn't forgotten to laugh at Li Ganshun's act of sending his daughter, but they never thought that Gao Taiming had the same idea at this moment.Everyone looked at Gao Taiming with a weird look.

However, Gao Taiming's expression remained unchanged: "Li Ganshun is not a fool, even Xixia has done it, why don't I, Dali, follow the same example? Could it be that my county master of Dali can't compare to his Xixia princess?

All the important officials present suddenly realized that, as Gao Taiming said, Xixia's choice of such a method is naturally justified. If this is the case, why can't it be like Xixia.

It's just that when everyone noticed Duan Zhengchun's black face like the bottom of a pot, everyone was a little amused.

Who doesn't know the romance of the Zhennan King, who would have thought that the result of the past romance would be a few more beautiful princesses.

If this is not the case, to be honest, even if they want to learn from Xixia to send the princess to Chu Yi, they should not send it.

Duan Zhengming, Duan Zhengchun's elder brother, naturally saw Duan Zhengchun's embarrassment, coughed lightly to relieve Duan Zhengchun, waved his hands and said to the crowd: "Everyone, Qing's family, let's go to the congratulations today. Let me think about it for a while."

After the crowd had bowed to Duan Zhengming and left, Duan Zhengchun was so full of anger that he had nowhere to vent, but now that there were no outsiders, he could not help but said to Duan Zhengming: "I'm really angry, Brother Huang, did you hear me? That Gao Taiming actually humiliated us like this..."

Duan Zhengming looked calm, glanced at Duan Zhengchun lightly and said, "Brother Wang, do you really think that Gao Taiming is humiliating my Duan family?"

Duan Zhengchun immediately said: "Isn't it..."

However, Duan Zhengchun soon closed his mouth. He is naturally not stupid. It is impossible for him to have no political awareness at all. Otherwise, he would not be regarded by Duan Zhengming as his future successor, but he was unwilling to accept it in his heart. .

Now that Duan Zhengming is asked this question, Duan Zhengchun himself is not confident enough.

With a light sigh, Duan Zhengming stepped forward and patted Duan Zhengchun's shoulder: "Brother Wang, as a royal child, you must be enlightened as a royal child. Isn't Xixia's national power stronger than our Dali, but even so, Li Ganshun didn't want to give away his pearl."

Duan Zhengchun sat there, slowly raised his head for a long time, looked at Duan Zhengming and said, "Brother Huang, is there really no other way?"

Duan Zhengming shook his head slightly and said, "This is not a matter for my royal family. If we don't agree, the ministers will not agree."

"If they want to send their daughter, let them send it, why do they want me, Duan Zhengchun, to send my daughter..."

Duan Zhengming looked at Duan Zhengchun and said word by word, "Because they are the blood of the Duan clan in Dali, and they are the royal goddess!"

Duan Zhengchun's face was sullen at the moment, he stood up for a long time and bowed to Duan Zhengming: "Brother Huang, and Brother Rong think about it, think about it..."

Duan Zhengming sighed slightly: "Brother Huang said this, I hope Brother Wang can focus on the overall situation. I'm waiting for your news for brother."

Duan Zhengchun, who was full of thoughts and disorder, left the palace, and he didn't know how he got back to the palace. It happened that the prince Duan Yu greeted Duan Zhengchun and said, "My son has seen the father."

With a smile on his face, Duan Zhengchun glanced at Duan Yu and said, "It's Yu'er, when did Yu'er come back, have you seen your mother?"

Duan Yu said with a smile: "The child has already gone to see his mother, but this time the child returned, but he came with the child's righteous brother."

Duan Zhengchun was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh, my son is a righteous brother, isn't that the head of the beggar gang, Qiao Feng?"

Duan Yu coughed lightly: "Brother Qiao has important business, but he didn't come with the child this time, but the second brother Xu Zhuzi came with the child this time."

Duan Zhengchun responded and said, "Xuzhuzi? Could it be the little monk Xuzhu who was expelled from Shaolin and joined the Xiaoyao School in the rumors of Jianghu."

Duan Yu nodded and said: "Second brother was expelled from Shaolin, and he was in a bad mood, so the boy invited the second brother to come to my Dali to relax. This time the second brother came to visit the father and king."

With a bit of a smile on his face, Duan Zhengchun nodded slightly and said, "Since it's Wang Erjieyi's elder brother, Father Wang should meet him."

Soon, with short hair and wearing a long robe, Xu Zhu, who looked rather nondescript at first glance, walked into the living room and bowed to Duan Zhengchun: "Little monk..."

However, Xuzhu quickly paused, and changed his words with a bit of a wry smile on his face: "I have seen King Zhennan in Xuezhuzi."

Duan Zhengchun looked at Xuzhu, and he couldn't help but feel some waves in his heart. In his induction, Xuzhu's whole person was like an unfathomable pool of water, and he could not see through his cultivation.

With Duan Zhengchun's cultivation base that has advanced to half a step in the realm of heaven and man, there is only the realm of heaven and man or even stronger existences in this world that he can't see through.

Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but be overjoyed when he thought that Xu Zhu was actually a strong man of heaven and man, with a smile on his face and said to Xu Zhu: "My nephew, please forgive me, you and my family Yu'er are friends of eight worship, equivalent to Brother, then it is Duan's son and nephew, this time in Dali, if you need anything, just ask Yu'er, if Yu'er can't do it, let Yu'er tell me."

Xuzhu quickly said: "Xuzhu, thank you for your love."

Instructing Duan Yu Haosheng to entertain Xu Zhu, and sending away Xu Zhu with a grateful face, Duan Yu returned to the living room just in time to see the bitterness on Duan Zhengchun's face and said, "Father, why are you so distressed? "

Duan Zhengchun waved his hand and said with a smile on his face: "It's just some troubles, Yu'er don't have to worry about it, tell the father and king quickly, what will be the gain of Yu'er going out this time?"

Hearing Duan Zhengchun say this, Duan Yu didn't ask more, but smiled and said to Duan Zhengchun: "The harvest is not really, but when I came back, the child heard a news about Xixia."

When Duan Zhengchun heard this, he almost didn't need to guess. He probably knew what news Duan Yu had heard about Xixia. When he thought of the choice he was about to face, his mood suddenly became very bad, and his face naturally became gloomy. a bit.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Duan Yu, who was immersed in the news about Xixia he heard, didn't notice the change in his father's face, and said with a high interest: "Father, have we also received the news, the king of Xixia. Li Ganshun actually wanted to dedicate his own pearl, Princess Qinglu, to Chuyi, the king of the Song Dynasty..."

While speaking, Duan Yu said with disdain: "Then Li Ganshun can be regarded as a hero of a generation. I never thought that he would do such a shameful thing."

As if feeling the same way, Duan Yu suffered a few losses in the hands of Chu Yi, but he finally grew up. In addition, both Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun regarded Duan Yu as the future emperor of Dali. There is no shortage of reputation cultivation.

It is precisely because of this that Duan Yu has grown a lot.

After a light cough, Duan Zhengchun looked at Duan Yu's excited look and said slowly: "Yu'er, you said that if the Song Dynasty would one day use troops against me, what should I do with Dali?"

Duan Yu was stunned when he heard such a question, his face was a little confused, and it took him a while to react: "Why did the king say this? I, Dali and Da Song, have not always been on good terms. ?"

Duan Zhengchun shook his head and said: "Everything between countries is based on interests, Da Song and my Dali are on good terms, that's because Da Song's energy is contained by Xixia and Da Liao, and it is impossible to target our Dali. Don't forget the saying in the Central Plains, there is no room for other people to sleep on the side of the couch. I am adjacent to the Great Song Dynasty. If the Great Song Dynasty is full of enemies, that's fine, but once the Great Song Dynasty is at its peak, you say that the relationship between our two countries will still be good. Is it possible to maintain such harmony?"

No matter how naive Duan Yu was, he knew that if the situation described by his father and king really happened, a war would inevitably break out between the two countries.

Not knowing what to think, Duan Yu shuddered subconsciously and said: "Father, if Song really wants to use troops against me, Dali, I'm afraid that my Dali will only have one way to destroy the country..."

Looking at Duan Yu who was struck down and looked down, Duan Zhengchun sighed in his heart and waved his hand: "Maybe it's the father who is worrying about the sky, don't think too much about Yu'er, go to accompany you for the past few days. Marry your brother."
