Chapter 557: Neither Death nor Standing
How to deal with this relationship between the Great Song Bank and the three divisions and the household department is a problem that the ruling house and the emperor should consider, and this kind of major decision involving the national level has nothing to do with Cai Xiang.
After Lu Zifei returned to Shanyan Mansion, he picked up the work in his hand again, and he was now relieved to hand over the army to Di Qing, and his own focus was on agriculture and public security.
The founding of Dali and the Song Dynasty were basically synchronized, the Song Dynasty had experienced more than a thousand years of feudal society at this time, and Dali had only gone through more than a hundred years from a slave society to a feudal society, so it can be said that Dali was in a semi-slave and semi-feudal period at this time.
The operation of the Duan family for ten generations once fell into the hands of the Gao family, Duan Silian escaped into the empty door and gave up the pursuit of power, and Gao Zhikai was not naΓ―ve to think that the Duan family did not have this idea.
"Shengtai, how did I do the thing I told you, haven't you found it yet?"
Gao Shengtai is the deepest of Gao Zhikai's five sons, and he is also the most optimistic one of Gao Zhikai, Gao Zhikai dares to openly oppose the Duan family, and Gao Shengtai's role in it is indispensable.
"Two months ago, the spies reported that there were riots of varying degrees in Xiushan County and Shanxian Mansion, and the child suspected that it had a lot to do with Duan Lianyi at this time, but now those two places are in the hands of the Song people, and the information I get is limited."
Duan Silian was imprisoned by their father and son, but he ran away from the crown prince Duan Lianyi, Gao Zhikai's evaluation of Duan Lianyi is that he is talented, soft-eared, has no opinions, and cannot become a big climate, but it is such a person who makes their father and son very passive now.
Gao Shengtai said: "There have always been rumors about the Flying Eagle Army, and everyone treats him as a talking point after tea and dinner, is the news you got accurate, father?" What can a few hundred people do, if they change the tide of the battle, there is no need for us to resist the Song army so hard. β
Gao Zhikai said: "It is better to believe that there is something than not to believe it, Duan Siping can overthrow the rule of Nanzhao in the decisive stage Many people suspect that he has the help of other forces, and my father now feels that those people were the Flying Eagle Army." β
Gao Shengtai didn't care, Duan Siping has been dead for hundreds of years, who knows if the Flying Eagle Army is still not the original Flying Eagle Army, from a young man's point of view, his father is still too cautious.
"Father, the Duan family and we belong to internal battles, who wins and who loses is our own family's business, now what we urgently need to do is to drive away the hungry wolf outside first, I thought that the Song army would be in a hurry to attack Dali, but they are just the opposite, Tuntian, govern the people, even if we win the Duan family, we lose the hearts of the people."
Gao Zhikai said: "If you go outside, you must first settle inside, we know the Duan family, and in turn, the Duan family knows us well, they know where our weaknesses are, think about it, if we are inseparable from the Song army, the Duan family will give us a knife from behind, who do you say will win." β
In major matters, although Gao Zhikai will listen to his son's advice, he will definitely do things according to his own inner standards, and people like them will definitely not put their lives in the hands of others.
Gao Shengtai saw that he couldn't persuade his father, and left the palace with some interest, and he hadn't gotten any news about the kind of thunder that appeared in the Song Dynasty army, and he was panicked when he only learned the news from the mouth of the person who fled back.
Unable to solve this problem, his task Dali will be defeated sooner or later, and his father only has the throne in his eyes, so he does not see the upcoming crisis, which makes Gao Shengtai's heavy mood even more serious.
Dali and Shanyan Mansion are equivalent to provincial capitals in later generations, and there is a Langdong Mansion between them, which is the only way to get from Shanyan Mansion to Dali, and wants to get the news of Gao Zhikai and Song Jun Langdong Mansion has a natural advantage.
"Uncle, my father has given up, is there still any point in our persistence? During this time, more than 100 people died in Huangquan, is this generation worth? A young man asked the person sitting across from him with a sad face.
The young man is Duan Lianyi, and his uncle is Duan Suxing, these two people are uncles, how to say it? Duan Silian took Duan Suxing's class at the beginning, Duan Suxing gave a mess to Duan Silian, but Duan Silian patted his ass and left, Duan Suxing had no choice but to drop out of this only nephew.
"The father and son of the Gao family don't have to worry, the uncle has a way to deal with them, the Duan family can take over the banner from Nanzhao, naturally they have confidence, don't look at the current Tusi, patriarchs, and city lords who are subservient to the Gao family, but as long as someone in the Duan family raises their arms and shouts, we can instantly pull them off the altar."
Being young does not mean being ignorant, Duan Silian lives in the royal family, how can he not know that there is a lot of moisture in his uncle's words, he is a bit similar to his father Duan Silian's character, he has no quarrel with the world, follows the crowd, and is okay to be a scholar, but he is indeed not the material to be an emperor.
"Then we can't let those righteous people who are loyal to our Duan family die for no reason, such sacrifices are meaningless."
In Duan Suxing's memory, Duan Lianyi has always been an obedient baby, and he has always been obedient to his words and his cousin's words, and rarely disobeys their will.
"Uncle is old, Dali will be yours sooner or later, your father's long-cherished wish and I have been so that Dali will not be controlled by others from now on, we are ashamed that we have not done it, and we have left you with an unmanageable mess, but don't be afraid, we still have a chance."
Duan Lianyi really couldn't see where the rest of the Duan family was, there was no one to ask for anyone, there was no army to the army, he felt that his uncle was comforting him and cheering him up, but he really didn't have any confidence!
Lu Zifei listened patiently to the report of his subordinates, and after listening to it, he frowned and said, "Duan Suxing? Shouldn't he have died a long time ago? You are sure that the news you got is not wrong, it is really a shallow water king Baduo, and the temple is a small demon. β
"My lord, do you want to kill them, now they are in a small temple in Nongdong Mansion, and there are not many people around."
Lu Zifei asked rhetorically: "Why kill them, what is the benefit of killing them, it is interesting when there are more people, the competition between the two parties is too boring, let's not fight in Dali, it's good to find something to do!" β
Huzi is very talented in this area, he said: "Then let our people also go to get Dongfu, the water is mixed to fish." β
"No, no, don't worry, Gao Zhikai is more anxious than us, if they want to sit on the throne of the emperor, the Duan family is a big mountain that can't be bypassed, rather than us to make the Dali people full of resentment towards us, it is better to hand over this job to the opponent, what do you say?"
Huzi pouted, straight men like them are full of contempt for Lu Zifei's conspiracy, a thing that was originally very easy to solve, but it has to be so complicated, is it necessary?
"Kill Duan Suxing and that prince, we can push Gao Zhi to the beginning, so that we can occupy Dali justifiably, and we can stand morally, isn't it good?"
Lu Zifei said: "I'm not in a hurry now, why should I take shortcuts, it's completely unnecessary, a country is not supported by a few people or a dozen people, the Duan family still has hole cards, do you think that no matter how big the hole cards are, can you block the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops?" β
"Who knows? It's not that you don't know this place, all kinds of myths and legends, all kinds of strange gods, and it's not strange that one or two miracles suddenly appeared, I think you want to be crooked. β
At this time, Yu Jing came in, and after hearing Huzi's words, he smiled and said: "You are a fool, if you can understand what he thinks in his heart, then you will still be a Lu family's guardian now, and you should not sit in the Privy Council." β
Huzi smiled and touched the back of his head, and Lu Zifei smiled: "What he said makes sense, but I don't want to do that." β
"Of course you don't want to do that, your plan changed after you occupied Shanshu Mansion, and now you are in a hurry in the land of Sanfu, in order to solve the troubles in one fell swoop, how could you let go of such a good opportunity, they are also stupid, they can't even do the most basic secrets, and they still want to restore the country, it's really whimsical."
Lu Zifei smiled and said nothing, and Huzi asked curiously: "Master Yu, what you said is that and that, why do you talk about it and the more confused I become." β
Yu Jing didn't know what he was thinking, and pointed to Lu Zifei kindly and explained to Huzi: "I don't know how his brain grows, I only figured it out recently, he wants a clean Dali, do you understand now?" β
"I don't understand, these bends and bends, you two discuss them slowly! Be careful that you too become prey in other people's mouths that day. β
Yu Jing scolded with a smile: "You fool, hurry up and get out of me!" It's really a piano to a cow. β
After Huzi left, Lu Zifei said: "Lord Yu, if you don't go to your people's livelihood affairs, how can you have the heart to come to me." β
"When did you start planning this plan, don't we people deserve your trust? Away from the Great Song, we are the closest people, if you don't believe us, then you tell me, who else can you trust. β
Lu Zifei said: "I didn't disbelieve you, it's just that I wasn't optimistic about this plan at first, but after the last time, I felt that something was wrong. β
Yu Jing said: "There will be more people who will die, how sure are you, the imperial court already has a great opinion on our stagnation in Dali, you have to be prepared." β
"The influence of the Duan family in Dali is too great, it can be seen from the monks, the common people, and the monasteries that the Gao family seems to have succeeded in usurping the throne, but in fact they only have power, and the support at the bottom is not enough, but they all have their own strengths, and if we want to gain a firm foothold, we must eliminate their influence."
Yu Jing said: "If it is not broken, it will not stand, but what I am afraid of is that after it is broken, it will no longer be what you and I imagined." β
