Qu Ping cried out: "Wronged, I'm just as strange as you!" Besides, why should I bully her, beating is kissing and scolding is love, so I won't bully her. ”

"You don't know, so you didn't ask the emperor?"

Qu Ping hesitated and said: "How can I have time to talk to the emperor about these idle things, and the emperor has no time to meddle in them." ”

"You don't ask, do you? Then I'll go into the palace another day and ask Concubine Wu Guiniang! Xiao Lu said.

Qu Ping had no choice but to say, "I'll ask." ”

The matter dragged on and on, until the emperor of Honglu Temple, the envoy of Dali came, Qu Ping was busy, and the matter of inquiring about Zhao Ping'er's whereabouts was also over.

Dali was founded in 937 A.D. by Duan Siping, and the capital was Dali, called Dali. Zhao Kuangyin drove the southern expedition, in view of the experience of the failure of the Tang Dynasty, with the jade axe to draw the Dadu River as the boundary, saying "in addition to the non-mine", Dali was not ravaged by the Song army. The territory of Dali covers present-day Yunnan, Guizhou, and southwestern Sichuan, as well as parts of Myanmar, Laos, and northern Vietnam. Because of the border, the Buddhist Dali country is often harassed by it and suffers unspeakably.

Although the relationship between the Song Dynasty and the Dali Kingdom was alienated due to the Song Taizu's policy of "not being far away", the Dali Kingdom still remained a vassal to the Song Dynasty. However, the Song Dynasty is with the mud, if you give me benefits, I will accept it, and it will be impossible for me to wipe your stinky ass with Jiaozhi.

In the period of Song Huizong, Duan Zhengyan, the lord of Dali, paid special attention to strengthening the connection with the Song Dynasty, paid tribute to a large number of Dali specialties, and also sent fantasy opera musicians to perform in the Song Dynasty, which won the courtesy of Song Huizong. As soon as Song Huizong was happy, he canonized him as the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu, the envoy of Yunnan Jiedu, and the king of Dali.

It is said that the titles of Yunnan Jiedu envoy and other titles are logically regarded as the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but in fact, it is not. At that time, Song Huizong did not recognize his status, and Dali was still left to fend for himself, not biological, at most a righteous son.

This time, Duan Zhengyan sent an envoy to come, and the ultimate goal was to return to the embrace of the Middle-earth Divine Kingdom in the name of justice.

Above the court, the ministers often talked about how to deal with Dali.

"Dali voluntarily removed the status of a subject country to join my Great Song Dynasty and become a part of the Great Song Dynasty, this is a pie in the sky, why don't you agree?"

"Your Majesty, Dali lives in the southwest, and it can be treated like a gateway to help me resist the harassment of the barbarians. And it doesn't cost us a soldier or a thing, why not? ”

"That's right, my Great Song Dynasty has to beware of the Northern Jin and Western Xia, how can I have the spare manpower and material resources to worry about the southwest. Since Dali is willing to surrender to my Great Song Dynasty, it will naturally not interfere with my Great Song realm, and it can help my Great Song Dynasty to ensure peace! ”

"Ridiculous! My Great Song Dynasty has always governed the country with benevolence and righteousness, how can I do such an unrighteous act! Dali is rare, and since ancient times, it has been the territory of my Central Plains court, and it is a sacred and inseparable part, and it must return to the embrace of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

……

Zhao Gou was so loud that he shouted, "Quiet! Every time Dali comes to the court, the quarrels in the court are nothing more than that, and what I want is a definite and satisfactory answer! ”

The court suddenly fell silent, and no one spoke at this time. Qu Ping and Li Gang glanced at each other, and neither of them spoke from the beginning.

"Two princesses, tell me what you think?" Zhao said.

Li Gang glanced at Qu Ping, and saw that he didn't want to say anything, so he stepped forward and said: "Back to the emperor, I was fortunate to experience it once during the reign of Emperor Taishang, but now it is different from the past, the saint has the mind of the heavens and the earth, and everything is according to the emperor's will." ”

"Don't be ambiguous, say, what do I mean?"

Qu Ping said: "The emperor's meaning, everything that the sun and the moon shine on is my Huaxia realm!" ”

The ministers were shocked, even if the emperor wanted Dali, Qu Ping's tone was too loud, and he couldn't wait to swallow the sky.

How do you know that the emperor clapped his hands and said: "The tone is a little louder, but it conveys my heart!" If you have courage, you can grow stronger, and if you don't have a big mouth, how can you eat a big fat man! ”

Someone persuaded: "Your Majesty, think twice!" The first emperors of several dynasties, and even Emperor Taizu's majestic talent, were worried about this hot potato, which must be reasonable! It has only been three years since the emperor pacified the north, and his vitality has not yet recovered, so he should slowly digest and absorb it first......"

Li Gang said: "After three dynasties, the minister thought that now was the time. ”

Zhao Gou saw that most of the ministers had already agreed to accept Dali's attitude, so he said decisively: "Okay, I already understand what everyone means. I have made up my mind, take over Dali! ”

Honglu Temple Qing said: "Your Majesty, the Dali envoys are waiting for the decree outside the palace, do you want to announce him into the palace?" ”

Zhao Gou said: "Xuan! ”

"Xuan Dali's envoy enters the palace! ——”

The Dali envoy walked into the hall with a small quick step, knelt three times and bowed nine times, and shouted: "The Dali envoy Gao Mingchi knocked to see the emperor!" After the emperor gave him peace, the envoy Gao Mingchi got up and said: "Gao Mingchi has seen the emperor and all the adults!" Then he presented the letter of state, "This is the letter of Dali, meet the emperor again, and ask to join the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Zhao Gou said: "I have already discussed it with the monarchs and ministers before, and after careful consideration, I agreed that Dali would join my Great Song Dynasty!" In the future, Dali will be renamed Yunnan, for Yunnan Road, Duan Zhengyan is the envoy of Yunnan Jiedu, the king of Yunnan, the original Dali administrative appointment and dismissal, military and political affairs are self-reliant, and a high degree of autonomy is granted! ”

"Emperor Xie, long live my emperor, long live! I, the lord of Dali, will be overjoyed when I hear this news! ”

"Hahaha! It's not easy for you to come from afar, so let's play in the capital for a while, and when you finish writing the edict, it's not too late to go back with my reward! Zhao said.

"Thank you, Emperor! …… On behalf of the king of Yunnan, the minister also had a reluctant request. Gao Mingchi said.

"Please!" Zhao Gou replied briskly.

Gao Mingchi sorted out his words and said: "If the emperor can afford the land of Yunnan, can he ...... Marriage with Yunnan? ”

Zhao Gou smiled: "Oh? Haha, the king of Yunnan wants to marry his daughter to me? ”

Gao Mingchi's face darkened, and he said: "The emperor has misunderstood, the king of Yunnan has only one daughter who has married another woman. The meaning of the king of Yunnan is...... Is it possible to marry a princess, a county lord or a county lord to Yunnan? ”

Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that he laughed: "At my age, even if there is a princess, I am still waiting to be fed!" The county lord, there are a lot of them, and there are many people in the boudoir. However, although I am the lord of a country, I am the same age as them, and it seems that I am arbitrary to choose one to marry, so I may as well wait for me to discuss it with my sisters before informing you. ”

Gao Mingchi said happily: "The emperor is really benevolent and enlightened, and the people of Yunnan can be protected by the emperor, it is really a blessing for three lives, and the people of Yunnan will definitely be grateful for the wise move of the king of Yunnan!" ”

In the emperor's harem, presided over by Empress Dowager Wei, with the assistance of Pan Guifei and Wu Guifei, a unique county lord-level mass meeting was held. The main purpose of the meeting was to convey the spirit of the emperor's marriage and democratically elect a county lord who was willing to go to Yunnan to marry.

Empress Dowager Wei ascended to the throne of the Empress Dowager after the catastrophe, and her personality is also modest and loving, but she does not have the arrogance of the salted fish after turning over. She said: "You county lords have lived in Beijing for a long time, but my old wife is dedicated to eating fast and reciting Buddha, but she has alienated everyone. ”

If everyone is busy talking about where the Queen Mother is, it should be that the juniors are not polite.

After a humble turn, Empress Dowager Wei went straight to the topic: "This time, Dali voluntarily invested in the territory of my Great Song Dynasty and became a mere Yunnan road, and the king of Dali also willingly surrendered to Yunnan Jiedu Envoy. The emperor was wise and benevolent, and still named him the king of Yunnan, a hereditary title, and an autonomous territory. The king of Yunnan must have been afraid that the court would treat him poorly, so he proposed to marry. I gathered everyone here today to see if there is any county lord who knows the general situation and can voluntarily take the initiative to marry him. The king of Yunnan has been hereditary for more than 100 years, and his status is high, and he will not surrender his identity. ”

The county lords were talking about each other, and the two concubines were in a hurry.

"The king of Yunnan is nearly half a hundred, do you want to marry this old man?" Someone asked.

"This ...... I forgot to ask the emperor, but the emperor didn't say. After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she looked at the two concubines for help, and the result was a shake of her head.

"Yunnan is a long way away, can we ask my father for advice?" Someone asked weakly.

The Queen Mother said: "Yes, but if you have a long journey, you will be exempted, and it will be a waste of time to come and go, and the Yunnan envoy should go back in about half a month." ”

The county lord who has this kind of mind can't help but feel depressed for a while, this kind of choice, no parents have an idea, and it is definitely not okay to rashly reject the queen mother.

While everyone was scratching their ears and cheeks, a voice suddenly sounded: "I'll go!" ”

Everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be Zhao Ping'er.

"Ping'er!"

"Sister Ping'er!"

"Sister Ping'er!"

Everyone was surprised, but they didn't expect Zhao Ping'er's chivalrous demeanor to come in handy at this time.

Zhao Ping'er looked calm and natural, and said: "The girl's family, whether she is rich or poor, beautiful or ugly, she should marry sooner or later, with such good conditions, why don't you want to!" ”

The Queen Mother was still a little incredulous: "You...... But seriously? Do you want to ask your father? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, Ping'er made a decision after careful consideration, and Ping'er's affairs have always been her own decision, and she doesn't bother my father."

The Queen Mother confirmed her eyes with the two concubines again, and asked Zhao Ping'er again: "Have you thought about it?" ”

"Don't dare to lie to the Queen Mother!" Zhao Ping'er replied.

That night, Zhao Gou learned of Zhao Ping'er's heroic decision from Wu Guifei.

Zhao Gou said to himself: "How could it be her? ”

"What's wrong?" Wu Guifei was puzzled.

"You don't know, I'm afraid there is another reason for this!"

Wu Guifei said curiously: "Is it convenient for the emperor to reveal that he and his concubines know?" ”

"Alas! Bad fate! Here's the thing...... "Zhao Gou told Zhao Ping'er's thoughts to Wu Guifei one by one.
