Chapter 136: Dali Stirs Up Again
The imperial city of Dali is called Yang Tho, and the whole city is mainly white.
Because it is a Buddhist country, the city is equipped with various religious pictures and texts.
Walking in it, but feeling elegant and exotic.
After two days of trekking, the group finally arrived at the capital in the evening of the next day.
More than a thousand soldiers cleared the way and let them go straight to the palace.
For this exotic style, Zhao Yingluo is of course very curious.
In particular, there are peacocks specially raised in the palace, and as sacred birds, they have an extraordinary status here.
One of the white peacocks attracted her to marvel again and again.
"Wow, how can there be such a holy thing in the world."
Zhao Yingluo's fuss, in exchange for a kind of gentle white eyes.
"It is impossible for this white peacock to live in the wild, without any protective color, and I am afraid that it will die in a few days."
Planting Qianrou's words made Zhao Yingluo roll her eyes again and again.
As soon as the team arrived at the palace, the crown prince Duan Zhengxing came out with hundreds of officials.
"Welcome to Emperor Shunde of the Great Song Dynasty!"
Dali is a vassal state of the Great Song Dynasty, and the prince has to salute when he sees Zhao Yingluo.
After some red tape, they stepped into the main palace.
"Everyone, please!"
Duan Lianxue personally led the way, and in the past two days, she and Zhao Yingluo had a good relationship.
led Zhao Yingluo, Lin Su and Chong Qianrou into a spacious palace, which was specially used to entertain high friends.
This feast is for Zhao Yingluo to wash the dust, and the important ministers of the court and the central government naturally also sit with them.
Sitting separately, Zhao Yingluo sat on the left side of the prince, after all, she was a princess.
Beside her, there were seats for Lin Su and Chong Qianrou, and for Princess Duan Lianxue, she sat between the two, which could be regarded as an accompanying seat.
On the other side, it is reserved for important ministers in the court.
As everyone fell, Lin Su noticed that the first three tables on the opposite side were empty.
However, melons, fruits, pears, peaches, and various fruits are the same, and there are a lot of them.
"Who is doing there? Why don't you show up yet? β
Lin Su opened his mouth curiously and asked Duan Lianxue beside him.
Obviously there is no one, why don't those courtiers sit forward a little?
"Back to the Duke of Lu, there is the seat of the Marquis of Shanxi, Xiangguo, and Prime Minister!"
Duan Lianxue hurriedly introduced.
"The three of them have such big official positions, and they haven't even reached them until now."
Chong Qianrou stretched out her hand and grabbed a banana, and now that all the officials are almost here, Duan Zhengxing is sitting on the seat.
Why haven't these three of these three courtiers come yet?
"They...... Not there, but accompanied my father to the north, just on the table. β
Duan Lianxue said embarrassedly.
"Since people are not there, why should they put food away, it's a waste of food."
Lin Su couldn't help but smile, there was still a table full of fruits when people were gone.
How does this look like it was for sacrifice.
"Actually...... It's not reserved, it's just that no one dares to sit, they are all ...... Gao's people, once three people did not arrive, the right prime minister of the central court was in the first seat, this matter passed into Gao's ears, not long after the right prime minister was assigned, and died halfway through, everyone knew that it was Gao's doing, but dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, since then, no one dared to sit in the first three positions. β
Duan Lianxue's words made Lin Su smile bitterly.
He had also heard about this Dali before he came.
Dali is a multi-ethnic regime, and there are no fewer strange things than outside.
As for the current emperor of Dali, he is the prototype of Duan Yu of Tianlong Babu, but unfortunately, he is not as brave as Zhong.
In particular, the Dali royal family had been seized by the Gao family before, and the royal family was demoted.
Although he was still in the Duan family later, he seemed to be a famous minister, but in fact he still controlled the court.
The Duan clan of the royal family, almost no one listens to what they say in the court.
With such a throne, whoever sits on it feels like sitting on pins and needles.
No wonder he became a monk, at least his ears were pure.
"I heard that your father has not been implementing a new policy all these years? Did something go wrong to go on the northern tour? β
Lin Su's words made Duan Lianxue look embarrassed.
He didn't think that a big fire would make the emperor go out on patrol.
"I don't participate in state affairs on weekdays, I don't know much, but I heard my father say that the Gao family supports the new policy, and this time they accompanied their father to the thirty-nine county governments in the north to inspect the new policy, and at the same time, with their own ability, assist their father, maybe this new policy, they also have their strength."
Duan Lianxue's words made Lin Su a little curious.
"Did the bad guys get better overnight?"
Lin Su shook his head, there must be something greasy in this.
It's just that I'm a newcomer, I don't know anything, and it's not easy for me to make judgments.
"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, maybe it's the accumulation of time, they figured it out."
Duan Lianxue is beautiful and feels that human nature is good.
But Lin Su had seen too much of the despicability of human nature, so he didn't believe that the Gao clan would be so willing to let the Duan clan return to imperial power.
"This glass of wine, on behalf of my father, I welcome Emperor Shunde to Dali, and wait until my father returns to the dynasty, and I am washing the dust for Emperor Ji."
At the beginning of the banquet, Prince Duan Zhengxing picked up his glass, and everyone got up.
This first cup is naturally given to Zhao Yingluo.
With a glass of wine, plates of food are served.
Although there were a lot of meat dishes on the table, Lin Su found that there were still many people who chose vegetarian dishes.
It seems that this wind of Buddhism is all over the government and the opposition.
It is also a good thing that everyone is proud of their ordination.
After all, if there is less appetite, people will be much quieter.
"Lu Guogong, these dishes still taste the same, right?"
Duan Zhengxing raised his glass and asked Lin Su.
"Thank you, Prince, these delicacies are very good."
Lin Su picked up the cup and replied with a smile.
"I have long heard that the Song Dynasty has recently resisted the Jin soldiers, and there has been a generation of gods of war, the prestige of Lu Guogong, but let me wait for it to be very admired, this time Lu Guogong came to my Dali country, I don't know what appreciation I have for Dali?"
"Dali is an outstanding person, and Buddhism is boundless, and this trip really opened my eyes."
"Lu Guogong, there is a reluctant invitation below."
"I don't know what happened to the prince, but it doesn't hurt to say."
"My sister doesn't love female workers, she loves to dance with knives and guns, and she says that she wants to be compared...... Princess Tang Pingyangzhao, who has not been taught for many years, has been angry with many teachers, if she can get a protΓ©gΓ© from the Guogong, she will also know how high and thick the ground is! β
The prince's words made Duan Lianxue's face red.
But in front of the ministers, he couldn't say anything.
However, a pair of eyes looked at Lin Su with some expectation.
But they didn't know that Zhao Yingluo and Chong Qianrou, who heard this, suddenly showed a fierce light in their eyes.
finally left Bianliang City, missing a red dress.
How can this have a little princess.
Handsome, always in trouble.
"I'm just a shallow learner, how can I teach the princess how to do it......"
Lin Su smiled faintly and turned his head to look at Duan Lianxue.
But before the words were finished, a few soldiers rushed to the outside of the main hall.
"Report, prince, it's not good!"
Regardless of his embarrassment, the man rushed into the hall and fell to his knees.
"Duan Heng, why are you? You don't accompany your father on his northern tour...... Isn't it my father...... What happened? β
Duan Zhengxing looked at the person who came, he was a descendant of the Duan clan, and the current commander of the Praetorian Guard.
Originally, he followed the emperor on his northern tour, and he came back in such a hurry, which made him secretly scream badly.
"Could it be that it's the Gao Clan's rebellion!"
The right prime minister instinctively spoke, and one sentence made everyone stunned.
In the hall, there was a sudden silence.
Everyone stared intently at the Praetorian Guard commander kneeling there.
A dark cloud enveloped the entire palace.
"Returning to the prince...... The subordinate protector is unfavorable, and the emperor ......... ...... by the Twenty-One Coalition Forces Buckle as a hostage! β
As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped.
Not only did the Northern Tour fail to appease the tribes, but now the emperor is in the hands of others as a hostage.
That's a big deal.
