In the end, I didn't wait for Jiang Lao'er, but the chat with the same foolish Zen master was still very pleasant, and it was much better than fighting with those monks in Famen Temple.

The two talked very happily, and before they knew it, in the city of Yanzhou not far away, Yanzhou pastor Cui Lie was entertaining guests, Cui Lie's word Deqing.

In the distant Western Tang Dynasty and Dongyu era, each state was divided, such as the Li family of Zhaojun in Jizhou, the Fanyang Lu family in Youzhou, the Boling Cui family in Qingzhou, the Xingyang Zheng family in Yuzhou, the Xie family of Chenjun in Jingzhou, the Langya Wang family in Yangzhou, the Li family of Longxi in Yongzhou, the Yunxue Xu family in Yizhou, and the Qinghe Cui family in Yanzhou.

This is the last glory of the family gate valve system since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the two opposing imperial courts are divided into feuds, are some false titles, the real power is still in the hands of county officials, the establishment of the world's nine herds, somewhat to the other side to block the meaning, but also become the foundation of the existence of the princes of the river for thousands of years.

At first, the Nine Great Families naturally did not, did not want to, and could not manage the place.

It is the so-called century-old dynasty and thousand-year-old family.

In the absence of a strong dynasty, the herdsmen appointed by the family became the actual lords of the Chinese continent, and the troubled times became their paradise.

Of course, there are also careerists and heroes who have risen in turmoil, and they have sent gold, silver and jewels to the family that is greedy for enjoyment and pretentious, and the beautiful girl has obtained the title of "Jiedu Envoy", and the princes have become more and more numerous, and the chaos is abnormal.

With the invasion of the Rong people in the Western Regions, the princes of Guanzhong were wiped out and gradually became part of the local dynasty, and the princes of Xichuan were too far away from the Central Plains, and were occupied by the Qin clan before the division was formed.

Only the remaining princes of Hejian resisted the invasion of foreign races several times, and they were quite prestigious in China.

Although the Cui family of Yanzhou pastoral generation has been unable to control the entire Yanzhou, and the four major forces have divided Yanzhou, compared with other pastoral generations, Yanzhou is regarded as the inheritance of the "root red Miao Zheng" pastoral guardian generation, and the Cui family of Dongjun has the bloodline of the Qinghe Cui family.

The major forces under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou are: the Yan family, the lord of Yanhu Fort in the Principality of Weilan, the Confucian family of Qufu, the Zhen family of Liangshan, and the Qi family of Heze.

Today's banquet is Yanwu of Yanjiabao, Cui Binshan, the spokesperson of the Confucius family in Qufu, Zhen Yunzhen and Qi Boming, and of course, the commander of this battle, Pu Xingyun of the Kite Du Pu family.

Everyone sat on the table, and on the table in front of each of them were melons and fruits, dishes, and Changyu red wine, a special drink of the Pu family.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for sending troops this time!" Cui Deqing stood up with a smile on his face, raised his glass and said: "All of you are people who understand righteousness, this time we have played the majesty of our princes in the river and reproduced the glory of the victory in Texas, please drink this cup." Dry! ”

The great victory of Texas in his mouth is a few battles three hundred years ago, three battles of Texas, the princes of Hejian worked together to defeat the 500,000 army of the Yanjing Dynasty at that time, ensuring that Hejian was still independent for hundreds of years, which is not necessarily a good thing for the people, but for the superiors, it is definitely a happy thing to have the autonomy of the territory and the decision to kill the people, without having to obey the constraints of others.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine in their glasses.

"This wine is really good, I heard that the prince of Xiting will burst into tears after drinking it, presumably he didn't expect that there would be such a good wine in the world." Zhen Yunzhen smiled and talked about the rumors he heard.

"They are just sand monkeys picking grapes in the desert, and even if they have the best grapes, they can only be made into raisins." People are like their names, and the voice is like a bell.

At this time, Cui Deqing said: "Although this wine is good, I only have two bottles, which can't make everyone happy." Let's try our East County wine. After saying that, he clapped his hands, and more than a dozen beautiful girls dressed in beautiful black and white maid costumes stepped forward with wine jugs, and there were two servants in front of each guest.

"Yo!" Cui Bin looked at the wonderful arc on the maid's chest with a strange light: "The wine you are talking about is the wine in the hands of this beauty, or this delicate beauty." ”

"Hahaha, Bin Shan is really temperamental." Qi Boming couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart: "This Sol people's maid costume is really interesting, and Deqing is really well-informed." ”

Yan Wu muttered in his heart: "The people in this city are really good at playing." ”

Cui Deqing and the other maids poured good wine, raised their glasses and said: "Where do I have such leisure, I once visited the kite, and saw that the maids of the Pu family were dressed like this, which was a bit interesting, but I didn't expect them to have ready-to-wear clothes, so I got a set for the minions in the clan."

Qingzhi wine is so good and quick to think that it has turned ready-to-wear into a business, which makes me feel ashamed. ”

"The key will also be fighting, today I saw the artillery of the Pujia Army, it was really extraordinary, the iron lump in my Liangshan is a burning stick, after this salvo of Qingzhi, I want to come to Xiting Tiele is also famous, when three hundred Tiele seized Chang'an Gate, the thousand-year-old ancient capital was taken, the world shook, and now two thousand Tiele have made fish and turtles in Surabaya, or we are more heroic in the river." Zhen Yunzhen raised his wine glass and deliberately approached Puzhao: "In the future, our two families will be closer and closer." ”

"That's true, today's battle, seeing the majesty of the Pujia army, the soldiers of the East China Sea besieged the kite for several years, and returned in vain, and finally Suoxia was exploited by the Song people, I think the position of the East China Sea Alliance should be better for the Pu family, the Pu family is from Weilan, and it is a distant relative of the Confucian family, so it stands to reason that there should also be the right to inherit, don't you say?" Qi Boming said lightly that the East China Sea Alliance and the Bohai Alliance, where the Pu family is located, have been at loggerheads for several years, and in the end, the Pu family, which was not favored, won the victory, and the East China Sea Alliance collapsed.

Whether it is the Yanzhou Cui family or the Qufu Kong family, they all peep very much at the position of the head of the East China Sea Alliance, and the leader of an alliance is more desirable than the position of the nominal shepherd.

Hezeqi's house is far away from the coast, and at this time, I hope that everyone who sits again will focus on the west rather than Yanzhou.

Qi Boming's original name in Qingzhi's mouth is Pu Zhao, the word Qingzhi, is the younger brother of Pu Xingyun who was present, the Pu family built the country with the army, and the Pu family is the new rising general of the Pu family, dominating the East China Sea, for the political intrigue, he is unwilling to participate, on the grounds of exterminating the stragglers, he led the army to be stationed in the place, and Pu Xingyun participated in this meeting as a representative of the Pu family.

The atmosphere of the banquet is a little weird! Everyone said yes, but in their hearts they had their own thoughts.

Four or five years ago, after the end of the war between the Pu family and the East China Sea, the Pu family proposed that the nobles of Hejian form a new army, pass through the Hejian area, and wait for an opportunity to establish a country.

The East China Sea Alliance has been dismantled, and the Pu family naturally doesn't want another opponent, but unfortunately, except for the Qi family, others don't seem to want the Pu family's power to expand again.

The unanimous desire of the Pu family to establish an inter-river alliance and become a de facto state is very obvious.

Pu Xingyun is also not ambiguous: "How brilliant our Hejian princes have been, the Ming Dynasty has an army of 500,000, several invasions, and finally it is just a smoke and clouds, although Qilu is a state of etiquette and education, but it is still only a land of projectiles, and the Tartars and Suo Lu are very harmful, and now Xiting is rising, Sharong is coming east again, occupying Luoyang, the light of China is in danger, why rebuild the East China Sea, the Bohai League and the East China Sea League are the North Sea Alliance, and the lords of the river are working together to smash Chang'an, and the west and Tingrong are driving the Tartars in the north. ”

"The North Sea Alliance? That's a good idea. Cui Deqing rolled up his wine glass and played: "If you can unite the heroes of Yanzhou and Qingzhou, you will naturally be able to influence the general trend of today, but this is the position of the alliance, I think the Cui family still has to come forward to convince the public." ”

"Cui family, I'm not convinced" Yan Wu was the first to speak: "Our land of Qilu has always been respected by the Duke of Qi and the Duke of Lu, and the Duke of Qi has long been far away from Jinling, not to mention it, Suo Xia is just a side branch, the name of the aunt is not right, and the Duke of Lu is still here, so he is naturally respected." ”

The predecessor of the Principality of Weilan was the Principality of Lu, which once occupied most of Qilu plus Huaiyang and the eastern part of Yuzhou.

"The Duchy of Weilan? Forget it. Cui Binshan smiled and said: "It's just a Bibo City, will we still have to take a small boat to discuss matters in the future?" ”

"You?" It is undeniable that when the Principality of Weilan was at its strongest, it was also the time when Hejian was closest to unification, but the times have changed, and the current Principality of Weilan has long since lost its prestige.

Seeing that the banquet was deflated, Cui Binshan was very proud, and looked at Cui Deqing with a little playfulness: "Cui family? Which Cui family? Qinghe or Boling? ”

"Naturally" Cui Binshan's expression made Cui Deqing extremely dissatisfied, he belonged to the Qinghe Cui family, and Cui Binshan belonged to the Boling Cui family, two Cui Zhou Mu and one Qingzhou and one Yanzhou all belong to the land between the Qilu River, Boling Cui Shi pretended to be a clear stream, has always ignored mundane affairs, and has a superior status in the river, on the other hand, although the Qinghe Cui family is said to be the state pastor of Yanzhou, but has always taken Jizhou, where the family is located, as the primary place, in order to protect the family, he did not hesitate to cooperate with the Tartars, entered the court as an official, and was criticized in Qilu, at this time Cui Binshan pointed out, how could he not be angry?

Zhen Yunzhen and Qi Boming advised one after another. Pu Xingyun sighed in his heart, there are many families in the river.

There are not only thousand-year-old families, but also the Qufu Confucian family enshrined by previous dynasties, as well as the powerful and scholar clans who have been whirling up and down, Pu Xingyun has no intention of entanglement with them, the revolution is not a dinner party, and there is really no shortcut, he has seen too many faces of lords who are in line with the yang and yin, but these princes in the river still want to restore the East China Sea Alliance, which has long since disappeared?

Even if their Pujia does not unify the river, the Great Song Dynasty, which has pacified Fusang, will also be involved here, and the re-establishment of Qingzhou Mansion is the best example.

So I didn't mention this topic anymore, and enjoyed the current singing and dancing with a little indulgence.
