Chapter 121: Something Happened in the Southwest
Song Jun walked mightily on the road, and the scenery along the way was beautiful, but in the eyes of Qu Ping's generals and Li Yanghuan's eyes, it was a different situation. Yesterday, he was flowing to the east, and he was far away from Li Yanghuan and did not look back.
Qu Ping chatted with Duan Zhengxing: "Shizi, where do you think the biggest danger in Yunnan today comes from?" ”
Yunnan has entered the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, so naturally it will not be the Great Song Dynasty. Tubo in the northwest is scattered with sand, and there is nothing to be afraid of, that is, the southern Jiaozhi and Bagan are slightly threatened, and compared with Jiaozhi and Bagan, the Jiaozhi people are still easy to make trouble.
Duan Zhengxing said: "Marshal, in my humble opinion, it should be Jiaozhi, although they have been forcibly suppressed at present, it is difficult to ensure that the thief's heart does not die." ”
Qu Ping nodded: "The gentleman sees the same thing. I heard that in ancient times, there was an emperor of a dynasty who guarded the country with a gentleman, this kind of courage, I wonder if the son of the world may experience? ”
Duan Zhengxing thought about it, as if there was no record of this in ancient books, but this was not the point.
He said: "What does Lord Guogong mean that Yunnan, as an important frontier land, should move the administrative and military center from Dali to Shanshu? ”
"Exactly!" Qu Ping said.
Wu Gong nodded, thinking slightly.
Duan Zhengxing said: "This matter...... To say bigger, the court has the final say, and to put it smaller, my father has a hard time. ”
Qu Ping said step by step: "The future will be young sooner or later, and Yunnan will be handed over to the prince sooner or later." I look at your brothers, and none of them can overcome you. ”
Duan Zhengxing lowered his head, this compliment was really bad. In terms of qualifications and ability, it should be yourself.
No, how can I have such thoughts, it's too dangerous.
Qu Ping said again: "I heard General Shao of the reinforcement army say that Lord Duan has done a good thing!" ”
Duan Zhengxing heard Qu Ping's strange tone and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Your father, poison all the Jiaozhi soldiers!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Wu Gong was surprised and said: "With so many soldiers, how can Duan Wang Ye be so ruthless?" ”
Qu Ping lowered his body and said to Duan Zhengxing, who was still in a trance: "So, Lord Duan needs to be replaced by the old and the new!" I'm optimistic about you! This is also the opinion of the imperial court. ”
Duan Zhengxing looked at Qu Ping in disbelief, and was speechless for a while.
Shanxian Mansion, Duan Wangye's Palace, today's lanterns, a celebration banquet for the victorious Song soldiers, has been fully rolled out. Li Yanghuan was arranged in a small room to have dinner with his entourage.
"Hahaha, Yongguo Gong, General Wu, and all the generals, everyone has worked hard! Done! Duan Zhengyan raised his glass, and Lang Shuang smiled. As soon as the toes are removed, it is really a large piece of the heart.
Qu Ping said: "During this time, it has also been hard for Duan Wang Ye to rectify the rear. As the saying goes, if there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, there is a prince sitting in the rear, which is the best guarantee for the soldiers in front of us to move forward bravely! ”
Duan Zhengyan was even happier when he was praised, drank another glass of wine, and said to Wu Gong: "General Wu, you are with the right person, and the road in the future will be a smooth progress!" ”
Wu Gong said modestly: "Where, where!" His Royal Highness the Prince is the pillar of the future, and the so-called blue is better than blue. Duan Wang Ye has taught well, and there are successors, congratulations! ”
Duan Zhengyan doesn't like to listen to this, doesn't he say that he is old, and his old face suddenly lost a little enthusiasm.
Qu Ping asked: "Lord Duan, I don't know how you placed the Jiaozhi troops?" ”
Speaking of this, Duan Zhengyan didn't regret it afterwards, but who told them to annoy themselves.
He said bluntly: "Kill, kill all!" Saved food and added fertilizer! ”
Qu Ping took the case: "Ridiculous! You are the dignified king of Yunnan, how can you do things so brainlessly? ”
Duan Zhengyan's face turned blue and white, when did he receive such insults, and he was still in public, where did this make his old face go?
He also took the case and said: "In my territory, I can do whatever I want!" Yunnan enjoys a high degree of autonomy, and all the kings can make their own decisions! ”
Qu Ping's momentum did not fall in the slightest: "Autonomy is not doing whatever you want, and Yunnan is not your Yunnan alone!" I think you are old and confused, the position of the king of Yunnan, you should be replaced by a sober-minded young man! ”
"What did you say!?" Duan Zhengyan said angrily, he couldn't believe that Qu Ping would say such a thing.
"Duan Zhengxing, take him down for me!" Qu Ping and Duan Zhengyan shouted in unison.
Duan Zhengyan was slightly shocked compared to Qu Ping's calm face, Qu Ping actually drank Duan Zhengxing, Duan Zhengxing wouldn't really partner with this outsider, right?
Duan Zhengxing slammed his cup and said to his father Duan Zhengyan: "Dad, let me come!" ”
Duan Zheng Yan said happily: "Okay, good son, you come, control them all!" ”
Who knew that the knife and axe hand hiding in the shadows came out, and it was not Qu Ping who was holding hostage, but himself and several of his other brothers and nephews.
Duan Zhengxing said "I'll come", it turned out that he was asked to be the prince of Duan.
Duan Zhengyan, who was forced to his neck with a knife and axe, sneered: "Okay! Good! All right! I, Duan Zhengyan, really gave birth to a good son, and I actually used a knife to hold my father, uncle, and brothers hostage! You are deviant and have forgotten your ancestors! ”
Qu Ping said: "Ignoring the government and the people in vain, and killing in vain, you are a deviant!" If you are arrogant and waste your ancestors' inheritance, you are forgetting your ancestors! If the Duan clan is handed over to you again, the foundation will be broken! From today on, Duan Zhengxing will succeed to the throne of the king of Yunnan, return to Beijing and I will play with the saint, and then officially canonized. Duan Wangye, reciting your past merits, your merits and demerits are offset, and in the future, you can go to the temple to practice with peace of mind, so that you can chant for the soldiers who unjustly killed you. ”
The general trend has gone, everything is irretrievable, and it is impossible for Dali to have the strength to wrestle with the imperial court.
Duan Zhengyan was paralyzed and muttered: "Cause and effect, cause and effect are doomed." All of this, from beginning to end, started because of me...... "I read books."
Yes, if you hadn't joined the Song court, I'm afraid there would not be today's ending.
Duan Zhengxing said to his uncle and brother: "In the future, everyone will work together for the court and do your best for our Duan family, and today's incident should not have happened!" ”
Everyone said in unison: "I am willing to do my best for the court and the Duan family!" ”
Duan Zhengxing then announced: "Shanxian Mansion is an important place in Yunnan, and its geographical location is dangerous, and it will be the military and political center of Yunnan in the future. "As Qu Ping said, Dali is Duan Zhengyan's lair, and this is where Duan Zhengxing made his fortune.
A reception banquet has become a situation of power transfer, happy and happy, sad and sad, and worried.
Three days after a little trimming in Shanxi, Qu Ping and Wu Gong were about to set off.
Ah Yue had already rushed over from behind, and at this moment she was also riding a horse, mixed in Qu Ping's queue.
Duan Zhengxing sent everyone outside the city and thanked: "Lord Guogong, thank you." ”
Qu Ping said: "Lord Duan is serious, and I am also thinking about the big plan. ”
"It's hard to guard against the thief, what is the best plan for the prince?" Duan Zhengxing asked.
Qu Ping had already expected this, and said: "I have a plan, but I don't dare to act rashly against the north." It is only necessary to build a dam in the upper reaches of the Yuanjiang River to reserve the upstream river water. Cochin will ask you to provide water downstream, and will be afraid of the impact of your release from upstream. In this way, you can kill two birds with one stone! ”
Duan Zhengxing was like taking a reassuring pill, and praised: "Thank you Guogong for your clever plan, I will implement this project immediately." ”
Qu Ping said: "Water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat, this thing is done well, it is a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, if it is not done well, it is too eager for quick success, that is to bring disaster to the country and the people." ”
"Xiao Wang grasps the importance of the matter, don't worry, please also tell the saint, Xiao Wang will manage Yunnan well, not to drag the court back, not to discredit the court."
"That's good! Farewell! ”
Say goodbye, everybody.
When they arrived at Chengdu Fu Road, Qu Ping and Wu Gong said goodbye and took Ah Yue and Li Yanghuan of Jiaozhi back to Beijing.
Outside Yingtian City, the procession to welcome Yongguo Gong back to Beijing has been lined up for more than ten miles, and as soon as the people heard the news, they spontaneously seized a favorable position early in the morning to welcome them.
This time, Yongguo Gong not only accepted Yunnan smoothly, but also successfully won the scourge of Jiaozhi by the way, killing two birds with one stone. The people feel the same way, how can there be any reason not to be elated.
In order to prevent accidents, the imperial court had to mobilize a large number of officers and soldiers to maintain law and order.
Many of the officers and soldiers were transferred from the Gyeonggi Road Army, and they were all Qu Ping's subordinates. This time, Qu Ping returned to the dynasty with honor, and they also felt that they were extremely glorious.
The position near the city gate, which is the position of the official family and the emperor, the common people consciously let go of it, so as not to block the emperor's sight.
Of course, it is impossible for the emperor to wait outside the city gate for a long time.
But other officials, such as Lu Ji, Li Gangqing, Xuanzi and others, had already arrived, drinking tea and waiting patiently.
Later, in some places with a safe and good sight, Xiao Lu and her daughter Qu Yihan were sitting, and Zhao Ping'er was next to Qu Yihan, Qu Yihan grabbed the hands of the two beauties around him left and right, shaking non-stop.
Time flies, and as soon as Qu Ping returns to Beijing, his daughter can trot.
The people were bored waiting, so they began to talk nonsense.
"Yongguo Gong is really mighty, not only subdued Yunnan, but also defeated the former Dali Prime Minister, a gang of rebellious ministers and thieves, and kept Yunnan peaceful."
"What's that, Yongguo Gong flew thousands of miles to attack the Shenglong and destroy Jiaozhi, that's called relieving qi! greatly praised my great Song Guowei, see who dares to beat our idea! ”
"yes, yes! It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to see ......."
"I have the inside story, I tell you! It is said that Yongguo Gong was dreamed of by the immortals......"
Everyone listened to the man's nonsense with relish, and suddenly someone in the distance shouted, "It's coming, it's coming!" Yongguo Gong is here! ”
Everyone looked into the distance in unison, and consciously squeezed behind them, leaving a wider road, so that the Qu Ping people who had returned had a wider vision.
Qu Ping rode a horse, surprised by the scene in front of him, and wondered if the emperor would feel that he was a great meritorious, which was a taboo throughout the ages.
Qu Ping kept waving to everyone, and really wanted to shout: "Hello comrades!" Comrades for your hard work! ”
Ah Yue followed behind Qu Ping, feeling very enjoyed, as if the people were shouting and cheering for her.
Li Yanghuan and the others in Jiaozhi were not so happy, as the lord of the defeated army, they couldn't wait to shrink their heads into the collar.
After a long walk, I finally saw the majestic tower.
When Li Yanghuan came for the first time, he was shocked in his heart, this kind of courage should be a scene only in a big country.
Zhao Gou sat on the holy car, and led hundreds of officials to wait in front of the door.
Qu Ping hurriedly dismounted, walked quickly to the front of Zhao Gou's holy car, and bowed: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" The minister is lucky to live up to his mission, thanks to the blessing of the Holy Lord! ”
Zhao Gou laughed, and with the help of the inner attendant, he came down steadily, pulled up Qu Ping, his eyes were happy, and said, "Aiqing, you have worked hard!" With Aiqing, my country is more colorful! ”
"All ministers should share the worries of the saints." Qu Ping introduced Li Yanghuan and his party to Zhao Gou, "That is Li Yanghuan of Jiaozhi." ”
Zhao Gou glanced at Li Yanghuan and said, "Cool him down first, ask Honglu Temple to take over first, and let's talk well." Zhao Gou chin in the direction of Xiao Lu and Zhao Ping'er, "Your family, I should take care of it as my own family." ”
