How much Dali respects Buddhism, it can be seen from several emperors of Dali Duan who have successively become monks.

When Ye Qing, Han Yanxuan, Shi Miyuan and others, as the Dali courtiers began to participate in the Zen throne ceremony of the Dali Emperor Duan Zhengxing, Zhao Xuan over there had also connected with the military court of Ziqi State.

The time of the emperor's Zen throne is not very long, after all, the monks, everything should be simple, but it is also the emperor's Zen position as a monk, and the solemn ceremony that should be there is naturally nothing less under the auspices of Master Miaoguang.

As for the enthronement as emperor, Duan Zhixing's side is to be removed from the Dali Kingdom by the emperor who will accompany the Zen throne, and then his son Gao Shouzhen will take the position.

For three days in a row, Ye Qing and others followed the officials of Dali, the heads of the 37 departments of the eight prefectures, four counties, four towns and others, and witnessed an emperor become a devout disciple of Buddhism, and also witnessed another devout Buddhist believer sit on the throne of the emperor of Dali.

Just like the fate of Dali Duan, he doesn't love the emperor and loves Buddhism, but he has to sit on the emperor's throne for a few years before he can really reach the other side and get the life he wants.

Zifei knows the joy of fish, in Ye Qing's opinion, maybe every time the emperor of the Dali Duan clan ascends the throne, his heart is painful, after all, the profession of the emperor is very different from the profession of the monk with six pure roots.

Seeing that Duan Zhixing became the emperor of Dali and Duan Zhilian became the prince of Dali, Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan couldn't help but glance at each other.

Not long after returning to the post house, after watching Shi Miyuan being picked up by a carriage, Duan Zhilian came to the post house in person and invited Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan to the palace.

"In this way, the one who just picked up Master Shi is the new senior minister?" Han Yanxuan sat in the carriage and swayed his upper body with the bumps of the carriage and said.

"Gao Shouzhen is now a prime minister, so I don't know what the prince will think." Ye Qing glanced at Duan Zhilian and said.

Han Yanxuan glanced at Ye Qing, the two had already had a tacit understanding now, so when Ye Qing looked down at the carpet under his feet, Han Yanxuan opened his mouth and said: "In my opinion, Gao Shouzhen is afraid that he is more respectful to the prince now, and even more polite and courteous than the saint, right?" But...... I'm afraid that this will paralyze the prince, and in the long run, as long as the prince relaxes his vigilance...... At that time, Gao Shouzhen is afraid that she will show the fangs of ambition. ”

Every time he met with Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan, the words of the two made Duan Zhilian feel shocked, as if soon, Gao Shouzhen would attack him, or depose him immediately after he ascended the throne.

After all, his father's obsession with Buddhism, compared to the emperor's grandfather who had just become a monk, can be said to be not much better, and even excessive, now that he is the emperor, it is naturally a word, if one day suddenly see through the red dust, and see all the prosperity in front of him as floating clouds, what do you rely on to sit on the throne at that time?

Do you really want the Gao family to force themselves to give them a Zen position? How could the Duan clan be taken away again in his own hands? If so, what face do you have to face your ancestors and ancestors?

absent-mindedly perfunctory the words of Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan, but every time everyone, they analyzed and sorted out the words of the Great Song Dynasty envoys alone, but they also felt that what they said was exactly what the Gao family was doing now, after all, the two brothers Gao Shouzhen and Gao Shouchang were the same age as their father.

And their heirs Gao Xiang and Gao He are also their own age, and in another ten years, they will accumulate popularity in the Gao family, and they are afraid that they will also have the prestige of the sun in Dali, and they are afraid that they really only have one way to go to Zen.

In the Dali Imperial Palace, in a room full of incense, Duan Zhixing, who had just succeeded to the throne of Dali, had already taken off the grand clothes he wore when he ascended the throne that day, and changed into a regular dress.

"Song envoys Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan have seen Emperor Dali." Ye Qing and the others saluted Duan Zhixing.

"No need to be polite. It is not easy for the two of them to come to my Dali, and if they are too restrained, it is not the way of hospitality in my Dali. Duan Zhixing's voice is quite magnetic, and it sounds very good.

However, in Ye Qing's ears, he always felt that Duan Zhixing would perform a one-handed Buddhist salute to them in the next second after he finished speaking, but fortunately, Duan Zhixing has not gone mad to that extent, after all, he has just ascended the throne as the emperor, and he will not immediately think about becoming a monk.

After Ye Qing finished talking to Han Yanxuan, his eyes swept towards Duan Zhilian, and then Duan Zhilian immediately understood, waved his hand and retreated with the palace maids and eunuchs in the room, leaving Nuoda's room to the three of them.

The royal family has the dignity of the royal family, even in the rather strange royal family of Dali Duan, it can still be vividly reflected.

It's just that because of the momentum and power of the Gao family, the dignity and power of the royal Duan clan have to be temporarily dormant, but if there is a chance, as long as it is royal, it is naturally unwilling to watch the courtiers control their own country, and even take it if they want to, and return it if they want to.

What's more, it didn't take long for the Gao family to seize their Duan clan last time, and for such a shame that can still be remembered, although the Duan clan will not be superficial, there must be a seed of shame hidden in the blood.

If there is a good way to weaken and suppress the Gao family, the Dali Duan clan will obviously not let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Of course, to make a deal with the royal family, you need to be exposed, and you can't hide a little selfishness, after all, they are more concerned about their remaining interests, and they will never lose a handful of rice in the end in order to weaken the Gao family.

Therefore, only if the Dali Duan clan feels that the victory is in hand, they will really support you, but if you feel a trace of worry and unease, or the breath that endangers their Dali interests, then the Dali Duan clan will definitely sell Ye Qing and Han Yan clean at the first time, and even do not hesitate to be evil with the Great Song Dynasty because of this.

"Although Ziqi and Luodian are small, they are better than their people and fearless, if the two of them can really let the two countries help each other, I will ......." When Duan Zhixing first saw him, he was still indifferent, like the eyes of a monk who had attained enlightenment, and he instantly became sharp and said: "I will go all out to help the two of you, but if it doesn't work out, I still hope that the two of you will understand my difficulties, and the Royal Duan clan will never know the ins and outs of this matter, how about it?" ”

"Naturally, I am flattered to be able to receive such a promise from the Holy Lord." Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan glanced at each other and said.

As the two walked out of the room, Duan Zhilian kept looking at the two of them with inquiring eyes along the way, but Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan were tight-lipped and never revealed a word to them.

This kind of behavior naturally provoked Duan Zhilian to scratch his ears and cheeks on the side, so he didn't feel itchy, until he sent Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan back to the post house, Han Yanxuan spoke: "If the prince wants to know about this matter, he still needs to ask the saint in person, and ask the prince to forgive him for not being able to tell him." ”

"That'...... So my father agreed? Duan Zhilian asked with a happy look in his eyes.

Han Yanxuan and Ye Qing nodded silently, and then watched Duan Zhilian get into the carriage and leave.

When they returned to the post house, they had never seen Shi Miyuan's figure, so the two sat down in a pavilion where they could see Erhai Lake, facing the warm wind blowing slowly, silently.

After a long time, it was Han Yanxuan who took the lead in speaking: "Longshou Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is probably not too feasible to expect Yu Yunwen and Li Yu to come to help." ”

Ye Qing also let out a long sigh of relief against the oncoming wind in Erhai and said: "The five rivers army has a thousand elites, plus the Dali city defense led by the Duan family, it is naturally not enough, not to mention, how many people in the Dali city defense are from the Gao family, it is difficult for us to explore clearly." ”

"Duan Zhixing's words are credible?" Han Yanxuan turned his head and asked.

"But if we miss this opportunity, if we want to catch up with the big events of Dali and the whole country, I am afraid that it will be the time when Duan Zhilian is forced to take the Zen position, so this is also our only chance. Now the heads and brains of the 37 departments of the eight mansions, four kings and four towns of Dali are all gathered in the capital, and the Duan family of Dali has been running Dali for many years, although the prestige has been suppressed by the Gao family, but over the years, there should be a few henchmen. Ye Qing also frowned, saying that it was simple, but if you want to really move the Gao family in Dali, once you enter the actual action, you will find that the Gao family is as thick and majestic as the Cangshan and Erhai Sea not far away, as if it is not humanly capable of resisting at all.

Han Yanxuan obviously knew the truth, and he lowered his head and smiled in the wind: "It seems that everything is extremely simple when it exists in the imagination, and only when it is really time to move, will it be difficult to find it as difficult as the sky." ”

"No matter how difficult it is, can it be more difficult than my Northern Song Expedition? It's just a small Gao family, even if it's the sun in the sky, I'm going to pull him down! Ye Qing suddenly became arrogant, pointing to the sun that was gradually slanting westward, exuding golden light and shining on the golden surface of the Erhai Sea.

"Courage is commendable." Han Yanxuan gave a thumbs up to Ye Qing's ambition: "But today you also saw that Duan Zhixing seems to be wise, and he also has the vigilance and precautions we want for the Gao family." But it is also true that he ignores the government and politics, but he has just succeeded to the throne, and he began to study Buddhism in the meditation room, and about the head of the three seven departments of the eight prefectures, in his meditation room, I don't see the slightest trace that other people have entered before you and I entered. ”

"That's natural, now he has just succeeded to the throne, but Gao Shouzhen has also just succeeded to the throne, at this time, Duan Zhixing is either Taoguang Yanghui, and he is unwilling to touch the edge of Gao Shouzhen's early appearance as the prime minister at this time, or he is ...... I really didn't dare to provoke Gao Shouzhen, so I could only watch Gao Shouzhen in the mansion, celebrating his appointment as the prime minister of Dali with the leaders of the tribes such as Bafu. Ye Qing said with a smile.

There was a figure not far away, his steps were staggering, I don't know if it was because his legs were weak when he ran, or because he was already lacking in strength, he staggered towards Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan, and shouted in his mouth: "Lord Han, Lord Ye, it's not good, something happened to Master Shi...... Master Shi was trapped in the Prime Minister's Mansion and allowed others to abuse him. ”

"it...... Is there such a thing? Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief.

"How is Master Shi now?" Han Yanxuan stood up, grabbed the shoulder of the subordinate who stumbled to him, looked at his panting and breathless appearance, and asked calmly.
