The Great Song Dynasty was in operation under Murong Fu's hands until the third year, and its efficiency was already eye-popping. Only ten days after Duan's father and son received the holy decree, the "Gongyi Marquis Mansion" built by Qin was officially completed, and Duan's father and son could be arranged to move in with their bags. Duan's father and son had no friendship with the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, so Xiao Feng and Xu Zhu naturally became the first guests of the Gongyi Marquis Mansion.

After three rounds of wine, Duan Yu put down the wine bowl and sighed. "The little brother Chaos I, he has actually become an understanding person today!"

Duan Yu was born in the splendid pile since he was a child, read the Four Books and Five Classics, and used brocade clothes and jade food. Such a person is extremely well-educated, gentle and kind, and has no quarrel with the world, but at the same time, it is inevitable that he will be naïve and ignorant. If Xu Zhu doesn't know the position of power, and Xiao Feng regards the position of power as dung, then Duan Yu has long been accustomed to having a position of power and doesn't think they are very important. Until Duan Yu ascended the throne as emperor, he was clearly aware of the current situation that the power of Dali was in the hands of the Gao family. Until the Great Song Dynasty suddenly attacked, intending to seize the land of Dali.

Perhaps for Duan Yu, the most common mistake he made in his life was wishful thinking. Back then, he pursued Miss Wang with wishful thinking, but Miss Wang still married Su Yu in the end. Now he wishfully thinks that he can call the shots about the future of Dali, but it turns out that he, the lord of Dali, has always been a puppet, whether in Dali or in the Song Dynasty. On the Zhengdan Dynasty, the official family of the Great Song Dynasty canonized him as usual and enshrined his father, but left the last chance for a showdown to Gao Shengtai. If Gao Shengtai entered the Great Song Dynasty and pleaded guilty, the Great Song Dynasty court took over the internal affairs of Dali. A few years later, the customs were changed and the people were turned into Han, and it was a matter of course. If Gao Shengtai resists the will and conspires against him, then the Great Song Heavenly Soldiers are also ready to go. As for the true position of Duan Yu and the Duan royal family, who cares? Even if it was the upper section of the Zhengdan Dynasty, Yu Ning would rather die than splash blood from the court, in the end, it was just an additional addition to the edict of the Great Song Dynasty to rebel against the Emperor of Dali.

Soon after Duan Yu and his son accepted the canonization, most of the 100-member mission sent by Gao Shengtai had already left. Gao's hardcore loyal ministers were busy going back to Dali to report to Gao Shengtai to discuss countermeasures, but Duan Yu was not sure whether they were really loyal to the Duan clan or not. Just because they discussed for a few days, the advice to Duan Yu was: Before the Gao family responded, as the lord of Dali, he went to the Song court and expressed his willingness to lead the people of Dali to join the Great Song Dynasty. With this sparse position, he won the favor of the Song Dynasty officials. In this way, after the Gao clan destroyed Dali and returned to the Song Dynasty, Duan Yu's father and son may be released. I can't say it, the Great Song Dynasty court looks at Duan's popularity in Dali, and it can also make Duan Yu shepherd Dali as a Great Song official.

In this way, although His Majesty can not continue to be the emperor, Dali is still under the rule of His Majesty. As the saying goes, take a step back and open the sky! But if the Great Song Dynasty Heavenly Soldiers wiped out the Gao clan, and the Great Song Dynasty court forced His Majesty to the Zen position with a knife and pen, the lives of the Duan clan would be worried! ”

Looking at the former Dali courtiers who knelt in front of him and made suggestions loyally, Duan Yushi didn't know whether he was still loyal to himself and did not hesitate to be loyal to him, or whether he had already been bribed by the Great Song Dynasty court. But even if you figure it out, what can you do? The future of Dali Kingdom, Duan Yu has long been powerless, it is difficult to be confused!

Thinking of this, Duan Yu poured another sip of wine and muttered: "Before coming to the Great Song Dynasty, the younger brother went to Tianlong Temple to visit his uncle and had a long conversation with his uncle. Thinking back to the truly open and honest conversation between himself and his uncle in Tianlong Temple, Duan Yu's eyes couldn't help but reddened slightly. My uncle said that if there was a disagreement, he would take a step back. "Most of the people of Dali are Bai people, but they are very sinicized, and they have no rejection of the Great Song Dynasty. The Duan clan of Dali is not good at governing the country and taking power, but he really loves the people like sons, and is unwilling to go to war with the Great Song Dynasty for an almost puppet throne. What's more, with the current national strength of the Great Song Dynasty, defeat is inevitable. Even if Hongyun defeated the Great Song Dynasty, it is very likely that he will only make wedding clothes for the Gao family. The trend of the times is always better than being crushed as a stumbling block. However, reason and emotion are two different things after all. “…… It's just that the foundation of the Duan family for several generations was finally destroyed in the hands of the younger brother, and he was ashamed of his ancestors. ”

Seeing Duan Yu's sadness, Xiao Feng couldn't help but reach out and pat him on the shoulder. Duan Yu did not lose the country, but he also lost the country, and Xiao Feng didn't know how to comfort this kind of pain.

Seeing this, Xuzhu sincerely comforted him. "Third brother, as long as the common people are lucky, the others are all external objects."

Duan Yu just smiled bitterly when he heard this, only to see him shaking the wine bowl and laughing at himself: "The lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty is the 'disobedient marquis', and I, the lord of Dali, am the 'Gongyi marquis', I hope that in the end, I will not be given the opportunity to lead." ”

I have to say that the timing of Murong Fu's attack on Dali was too good. Duan Yu has only been on the throne for half a year, and he has never tasted the bliss of being an emperor, and he still retains the scholarly spirit when he was the prince of Zhennan Wang. If it is another year and a half, Gao Shengtai is flattering, the three palaces and six courtyards are full of beauty, and he is accompanied by romantic ministers when he travels and has fun, and then he wants Duan Yu to retire from the lord of Dali to the "Marquis of Gongyi", I am afraid it will not be so easy.

"No, it won't." Xiao Feng resolutely responded, "Dali took the initiative to attach, the so-called daughter buys bones, and the Great Song Dynasty court will definitely treat the Duan clan well and show benevolence and righteousness." Speaking of this, his eyebrows couldn't help but twist, and he said. I am afraid that Gao Shengtai will use the Duan clan as a puppet and raise troops to resist the Song Dynasty. "Although the Duan father and son have settled in Bianjing, the Duan family still has many royal heirs in Dali.

Speaking of this, Duan Yu smiled bitterly again. "There are only two people in the Duan clan in Dali now, my father and son, and the elders of Tianlong Temple are all outsiders, so they won't fall into this quagmire." Dali has the power to control the government and watch the throne of the Duan clan all the time, so he naturally hopes that the Duan clan will have as few people as possible. It's a pity that Duan Yu understood this truth too late.

also doesn't understand this truth, and there is also a void bamboo. Xiao Feng has been up and down for many years, but he understands. However, he really didn't know how to appease Duan Yu, so he had to be silent.

Fortunately, Duan Yu didn't want to always spin around on this thing that made him frustrated and powerless, so he sighed and mentioned Ah Zi again. "Aunt Ruan has been with her father for many years, and now only Sister Ah Zi is still alive, big brother, you ......"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Xiao Feng had already said in a deep voice: "Third brother, I am happy with Murong." Ah Zi poisoned Murong and ruined his martial arts health, I really can't forgive her! ”

The broken sleeves were already in the Taogu, but when Duan Yu and Xuzhu heard that their sworn brother confessed that he was good at Longyang, they were still shocked to squirt wine.

Xiao Feng looked at his two sworn brothers with a calm face. "The three of us married Jin Lan, because we don't want to hide anything from you."

Xuzhu was shy and just choked and coughed, but Duan Yu couldn't help but ask: "Big brother, aren't you and Murong Fu brothers?" ”

I saw Xiao Feng looking at the wine bowl in front of him in a daze, as if he was in deep thought. After a long time, he said slowly: "I met Murong during the Yuanfeng period, when Emperor Shenzong presided over the five-way expedition. I was ordered by the beggar gang leader Wang to serve in the west, and Lu Yu Murong was also ordered by the master to go to the west to watch the battle. At that time, Murong was only eighteen years old, and he was in his prime......

After many years, Xiao Feng finally officially mentioned Murong Fu to his other two sworn brothers, telling the acquaintance of the two. Xiao Feng and Murong Fu have known each other for fourteen years, and the thrilling experiences they have experienced together are beyond the imagination of Xuzhu Duan Yu, and the grievances and hatreds between the Xianbei Murong clan and the Khitan Xiao clan make the two of them feel a lot of emotion. It was Xiao Feng himself, looking back on the past that had long been dusty, as if he had experienced the past again, during which he laughed or sighed, or rejoiced or felt, and was silent for a long time when he stopped talking.

Until the wine and food on the table were cold and could no longer be eaten, Duan Yu finally came to his senses and sighed in a low voice: "I don't think that the eldest brother and that Murong Fu have such a past......

Xiao Feng smiled bitterly when he heard this. "The world makes people! If it weren't for these twists and turns, I wouldn't have understood my heart for Murong. But sometimes, I'd rather I never understand......"

"Does Big Brother regret it?" Duan Yuqi said. After a pause, he added another sentence clearly. "Indeed, this is contrary to the ...... of the world"

"No, no!" Xiao Feng shook his head again and again and said gloomily. "At that time, I never understood why Murong let me misunderstand but never explained. It wasn't until that day that I came to tell my third brother Ah Zi about it, and I think I finally understood...... Qiao Feng and Xiao Feng are two people after all. ”

Xuzhu was still confused, but Duan Yu was stunned for a long time and finally suddenly realized, and exclaimed: "It turns out that Murong Fu is so ambitious and wants to dominate the world!" ”

Seeing that Duan Yu had gone through all kinds of twists and turns and finally had some political vision, Xiao Feng was also deeply grateful. "It's ridiculous that Murong Bo has been scheming all his life just to revive Dayan, but he never knew that his son's wish in his heart was far more magnificent and grand than his father!"

"Big brother, that was also what you wanted." Xuzhu kindly reminded.

"Yes!" Xiao Feng nodded, feeling emotional and sour in his heart. "If it weren't for my persuasion with Master Su, Murong would never have come out. With his intelligence, he should understand that he has a special identity, and it is the best choice to be an idle cloud and wild crane hidden in the mountains. He's for us...... This road is so arduous that he gritted his teeth to get to this day, but my eldest brother not only could not help him, but abandoned him halfway, and stood on the opposite side of him from then on. ”

"If that's the case, then he ...... with his uncle," Duan Yu said suddenly.

"I don't know exactly when he found out about Yanmen Pass, but in any case, I'm sure his feelings for me are genuine. He had countless opportunities to kill me, but in the end he chose to save the lives of my father and son rather than be misunderstood and hated by me. He may not have known it when he pursued my father, or he may have ...... Just to kill people and kill people. But no matter what the purpose, he is for me. Now that my father is not dead and Murong Bo has paid the price for what he did back then, how can I blame him anymore? ”

Xu Zhu was silent when he saw Xiao Feng's deep-rooted appearance and couldn't extricate himself, but Duan Yu said: "Big brother, people's hearts are unpredictable. How do you know that this Lord Murong has never thought of returning to the country? ”

"He has no military power!" Xiao Feng said categorically, "Even though the royal family is weak now, the official family is mediocre, and Murong has the power to say nothing, but he has no military power!" It was back then that he established a huge foundation in Shanghai Town, with people, money, and food, but there were only no soldiers. Now that there are famous generals in the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty and powerful firearms, if Murong has a different heart, he will kill himself. "In the final analysis, politics is not a personal relationship. Even if Murong Fu had a good relationship with the two families, it would be difficult for them to fight for the future honor of the entire family for his emperor dream.

"In this way, Lord Murong is really a loyal minister of the Great Song Dynasty!" The importance of military power may not be understood, but Duan Yu has been hated since he ascended the throne. The Duan royal family is quite popular in Dali, but once this person meets the army, it is useless. Emperor Duan couldn't lose his military power, if Murong Fu wanted to be in a yellow robe, how could he be virtuous based on merit alone? It's just that Murong Fu is determined to be upright again, but Duan Yu inevitably has some bad feelings in his heart.

"Loyalty?" How do you know that Xiao Feng smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Murong is loyal to this world, but he may not be loyal to any emperor." Since the Shu Party was in power in the sixth year of Yuan You, six years have passed, and Murong has had a mixed reputation. In the future, in the future, ......" Thinking of Murong Fu's tough temperament, if anyone stands in his way, he will directly run over the domineering methods, Xiao Feng can't help but worry. Since Murong has no intention of reviving Dayan, then this world is the world of the Zhao family after all. Even though Zhao Xu can't be in charge of the government now, he can only be at the mercy of Murong Fu, but a hundred years later, how can he spare Murong in the history books?

Xiao Feng and Duan Yu had their own thoughts, and they were silent for a while. But it was Xuzhu who suddenly poured a few bowls of wine, got up and said loudly: "Big brother, third brother, it's a matter here, brother, I plan to go back to the Vulture Palace!" ”

Xiao Feng knows the meaning of Xuzhu best. Hearing him say this at this time, Xiao Feng was immediately taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Second brother, you ......"

Without waiting for Xiao Feng to finish speaking, Xu Zhu said categorically: "Big brother, rest assured, Murong Fu's martial arts have been abolished, and the younger brother will never seek revenge against him again." Speaking of this, Xuzhu couldn't help but sigh faintly. Grievances and hatreds, it was the younger brother who was in love with each other before. If the younger brother can seek revenge on Murong for his father's mother, those who were victimized by my father and mother can also seek revenge on me. As for the hatred of wives and children, the two countries of Song and Xia were originally national enemies, and millions of people have died under the iron hooves of the two countries in the past hundred years, what is this hatred of the younger brother? When is the so-called revenge for injustice, the younger brother is fortunate to escape from the Vulture Palace with his wife, so why bother wading into the sea of red dust and suffering? Why don't you stop there, jump out of the red fire pit, and be a cool man. ”

When Xiao Feng heard this, he immediately got up and patted Xuzhu's shoulder, but Duan Yu said with a calm face: "Second brother, is it just so enduring?" ”

Xuzhu knew that Duan Yu was still obsessed with the hatred of losing the country, so he couldn't help but persuade: "Third brother, do you still remember the mysterious conversation in Hanshan?" In the past, Hanshan asked: The world slanders me, deceives me, insults me, laughs at me, despises me, despises me, hates me, deceives me, how to deal with it? Pick up the clouds: just endure him, let him, let him, avoid him, bear with him, respect him, ignore him, stay for a few more years and watch him. In this world, there is no one who is unjust, and all are evil, I know that the third brother deeply hates Murong Fu for plotting to seize your family and country...... Don't worry, just wait a few years! ”

Xu Zhu said this, Duan Yu was immediately stunned, and after a long time, Fang muttered to himself: "It turns out that I have also lost my heart because of hatred?" ”

It was Xiao Feng, who was also deeply touched by Xuzhu's sentence "No one is wronged, and all are evil", and after a long time, he sighed with emotion: "Congratulations to the second brother for enlightenment!" ”

Xuzhu has studied Buddhism since he was a child, and he has a deep Buddha nature, and this epiphany is also his wisdom root and blessing. Hearing what Xiao Feng said, Xuzhu immediately hugged his fists and saluted, and suddenly smiled: "The bitter sea is boundless, and the shore is the back." I only hope that the eldest brother and the third brother will also let go of the grudges in their hearts as soon as possible, and the three of us brothers will drink and talk happily again! With that, he took the bowl in front of him and drank it down, laughing and leaving.
