In the end, I have to ask for flowers, ask for comments, ask for collections~~~~

The mansion sent by the emperor of Nanliang is really not small, there are more than 20 rooms in the courtyard, even if it is more than enough for fifty or sixty people. And Duan Chong and his party only had more than ten people, and the rest were all servants and servants sent by the emperor of Southern Liang. And the courtyard of this house is also extremely wide, with all kinds of pavilions and pavilions, and a small back garden, which can be described as extremely luxurious. This emperor Lao Tzu of Southern Liang is really not thin on Duan Chong, of course, Xiao Beiping must have made a lot of efforts.

The house has already been cleaned up properly, and the yard is also cleaned all year round, and there is no dust, so Duan Zhong can't find anything wrong at all. Sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard drinking tea, there were naturally only Duan Zhong and Xiao Beiping at the moment, and no one else came to disturb them.

And Duan Zhong didn't rush to speak, but looked around very leisurely, admiring how well the courtyard was designed from time to time.

And Xiao Beiping finally couldn't help but speak: "My father knows about the affairs of Hangzhou." ”

Duan Zhong said softly, "um", and Xiao Beiping continued: "My father is very angry, but I don't know who made it. Of course, this matter can't be put on the surface, and all the houses that have been given to you are also grateful to you for your help. ”

Duan nodded and said with a smile: "I naturally know this." But you should also know that my favorite thing is silver, and I might be happier if you could exchange this house for a silver ticket. ”

Xiao Beiping smiled bitterly: "Where will I go to get you silver." If you have the ability, you will naturally go to my father's treasury and get it, and I don't care how much you take. ”

Duan Zhong shook his head: "If I really take it, you naturally can't control it." ”

Xiao Beiping sighed: "If you are willing to help me, it is my father's treasury, and I also want to pry out a hole for you." ”

Duan Zhong clapped his hands: "I don't need you to help me pry this treasury, but I really need your help with a few things." ”

Xiao Beiping said: "As long as you are willing to help me, I will definitely help you with your favor." ”

Duan Zhong smiled: "That's fine." I'm going to open a green building in the capital. As you know, I don't have any background here, so I'm up to you. ”

Xiao Beiping thought for a while: "Except for the land on the edge of the Qinhuai River, everything else is easy to say!" ”

Duan Zhong shook his head: "That's really unfortunate, what I fancy is the place on the side of the Qinhuai River, if it's somewhere else, I really won't open it." ”

Xiao Beiping was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his face was full of tears: "You don't know that I have been suppressed very badly in the DPRK recently, and my second brother has pressed me everywhere." And because of the recent assassination in Hangzhou, the second brother often mentioned it in front of his father, which made my father dissatisfied with me. ”

"What does that have to do with choosing a building?"

Xiao Beiping sighed: "My second brother has interfered in many areas of Qinhuai River, if I go to give you the whole land, it will be equivalent to grabbing food with my second brother." You see, I've been in a bad situation lately. ”

Duan Zhong listened to Xiao Beiping's words and pondered for a while: "Are you saying that the territory of the Qinhuai River is the power of the second prince?" ”

Xiao Beiping nodded: "It's almost like that." After all, most of the ministers and officials who operate in the dark are very close to the second prince, and my people are rarely able to interfere. If you want me to give you a whole piece of land, it's nothing like pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth. ”

Duan Zhong suddenly realized, and then smiled: "Haven't you thought about fighting back?" So you plan to be suppressed all the time? ”

Xiao Beiping sighed: "Counterattack, I don't have that strength yet." ”

Duan Zhong smiled slightly: "I think you can try it now." ”

Xiao Beiping's eyes lit up: "If you are willing to help me, it will be the meat on the tiger's buttocks, and I will cut a piece of it for you!" ”

Duan Zhong smiled: "It's not enough to cut meat." But I don't understand why you believe in me so much, after all, it doesn't seem to be very easy to take down your position as the crown prince with my head alone. ”

Xiao Beiping sighed: "You should treat me as a sick person, after all, I can't find anyone who can help me." ”

"Well, who made us brothers. But there's one more thing you have to settle for me. I have a subordinate who needs to open a martial arts gym in the capital. It doesn't take much momentum, just be able to mix it up. You'll have to find me a few masters, at least a third-stage master. ”

Xiao Beiping clapped his hands: "This is no problem." Because of the last assassination, my father assigned me ten more personal guards, each of whom was a master of the third stage. In the entire Southern Liang, I'm afraid that except for my father, I have such a formation. ”

"That's it!" Duan Zhong patted Xiao Beiping on the shoulder, "My matter will be decided first." Tell me how you're doing, and I'll think about how I can help you. ”

"Where to start?"

"Let's talk about the power of you and the second prince first."

Xiao Beiping sighed: "I really don't know how to say this." I often think that if I hadn't been to Dali for those two years, things wouldn't have been so bad. The bad thing is that in the two years I went to Dali, my father's illness suddenly worsened, and he had reached the point where he couldn't take care of the government. As the eldest prince, I am not in the palace, so I am naturally represented by Beiding and assisted by the prime minister. It was only then that Beiding became closer to the prime minister. ”

Duan nodded his head, his guess was really good, this Prime Minister Zhu was really the same person as the second prince, so this black-clothed man force would help Prime Minister Zhu Cheng. But I heard Xiao Beiping continue: "When I heard the news, I immediately rushed back from Dali. You must also know this, after returning to Daliang, I served my father in plain clothes, and finally waited until my father's condition improved greatly. And the prison state of Beiding was naturally handed over. However, Beiding showed a great kingly demeanor during the Dali Dynasty, and the approval of the chapters and the promulgation of orders were quite decent, and they were recognized by hundreds of officials, so some officials in the court fell to the side of Beiding. It was also at that time that the power of Beiding was initially formed. ”

"Of course, because my mother is the concubine of my father, and I am the eldest prince, the position of the crown prince should have been done by me. Originally, my father mentioned to me that when I returned from my study tour in Dali, he could canonize me as the crown prince, and it would not be so easy for Beiding to fight with me at that time. However, after I came back from Dali, my father hesitated about the establishment of the crown prince in view of his performance during the Northern Theorem Dynasty. ”

"Therefore, it also boosted the confidence of Beiding to compete with me for the position of prince. But as the eldest son, I didn't make any mistakes, and I couldn't untie my clothes during my father's serious illness, and I also got the reputation of a filial son. If the father dies, it will naturally not be the turn of the north to take the throne according to the number of seats. And my father's condition has been fluctuating, so Beiding is anxious to force me to make mistakes, as long as I make mistakes, he can knock me into the dust. Naturally, I won't fall for him, I have been abiding by my duty in the past few years, so Beiding has murderous intentions towards me. ”

Duan Zhong sighed, this dispute in the royal family is the most terrible thing, and there is no blood relationship to talk about at all. Fortunately, he withdrew from the competition for the throne of the Dali royal family early, otherwise how much bloody rain would he experience?

Xiao Beiping continued: "The power of Beiding in the DPRK is very great, and there is also a hidden dark force under his subordinates. I have not found any clues about the origin of this force, but it is an extremely terrifying force. ”

Duan Chong frowned: "It's those black-clothed people who assassinated us?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Beiping nodded, "And the second child's hand has been stretched farther and farther, and there is the shadow of the second child behind many restaurants and brothels in the capital." Although I also have some share, it is still very different from Beiding. ”

Duan Zhong smiled: "Sometimes the higher you climb, the heavier you fall, you should understand this truth." ”

"It's just that no one can throw the second child off the mountain now."

Duan Zhong smiled: "This can't be rushed, you have to take your time." What are your forces? ”

Xiao Beiping thought for a while: "I can also be regarded as a protégé of Dong University, so the teachers and bachelors in Taixue are closer to me." In addition, I have many henchmen in the Ministry of Rites, and there are also some officials in the Ministry of Officials. My father and emperor were very strict in the household department and the military department, and my second brother and I had no way to go. Most of the rest are the forces of the second brother. ”

Duan nodded his head, the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty naturally surrounded the prime minister, and since Prime Minister Zhu was relatively close to the second prince, he was naturally also the power of the second prince. As for the military side, Duan Zhong knew that the military power of Daliang had always been in the hands of several generals and governors stationed abroad.

So Duan Zhong asked, "Which way are the governors of Nanliang heading?" ”

Xiao Beiping said: "This Jiangnan Governor Liao Zhangjin is very close to Beiding. And Fu Anyang, the governor of Liangguang, is my father-in-law, and the relationship is very close. Other vice-governors and generals did not have a definite inclination. ”

Xiao Beiping is a man with a wife, Duan Zhong knows, but Xiao Beiping married a wife who is the daughter of the governor of Liangguang, this is news, and of course it is a good thing. Because Fu Anyang, the governor of Liangguang, has the identity of the secretary of the military department, he is a member of the first rank, and he is half a level higher than the other governors, if he can make good use of this relationship, it will definitely be a big help in the future. This Governor is a powerful minister.

So Duan Zhong smiled: "That's fine, you always need someone to rely on outside Kyoto." The relationship between your father-in-law and father-in-law must be taken care of. ”

Xiao Beiping nodded: "If you don't say this, I will do it." It's just that now my father's illness is good and bad, and every time the ministers in the court go to the court, they always mention the matter of letting the father make the crown prince. I don't think this will last long, so there are a lot of things that we have to solve in the near future. ”
