"Please send troops from Dali?" Yuan Jianzhi was taken aback, and said in shock: "Dealing with foreign vassals, I'm afraid it's not your or my business, this has to be consulted by the Privy Council, and the court will decide." ”

"Lord Yuan is wrong, we didn't ask Dali to send troops, but to transfer Shimenfan." Chen Longzhi shook his head and said: "Changsun Hong is the king of Dali, but he is also the deputy envoy of the defense of Xuzhou in the Great Song Dynasty, and he is a general under the command of the Sichuan Envoy. ”

"Nope! Adults, there is a problem with it. Yuan Jianzhi knew the inside story very well, and he had to say something embarrassing at the moment: "Shimen Fan did not accept the official position we gave him, last time at the request of the former lord of Dali, in order to let them stop the army at the Dragon Head Pass, Zhao Yanna sent a Du Yu to wait over, thinking that a sentence could achieve the goal, but he was humiliated by the eldest grandson Hong in person, and openly asked, what did he promise to be the defense envoy of the Song Dynasty?" With an arrogant attitude, Du Yu waited for him to cry in front of Zhao Yanna after he came back, and I was also present at the time and knew about this matter. ”

"Oh? And such a thing? Chen Longzhi's expression became grim, he got up and turned around in two circles, stood still and asked, "Why did Changsun Hong say that, do this?" Common sense, Dali is a small country on the border, where is my magnificent country? What's the difference between being a prince over there and one of our prefects? As long as he is willing to serve us and make meritorious contributions, he will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds in the future, and he will be stronger than his Dali and Wang Zi, is there any misunderstanding? ”

"I don't know, maybe the barbarians have lived in the middle of nowhere for a long time, and they don't have much vision, thinking that being a prince of Dali is a great official." Yuan Jianzhi spread his hands: "These people are not very reasonable, they are content with the status quo, and if adults want to use him, I'm afraid it will be difficult." ”

"He is a Han Chinese, and he fled to the barbarian land to avoid trouble, and he is not as ignorant as ordinary barbarians." Chen Longzhi shook his head, and began to circle again, saying as he turned: "Besides, judging from the means he used, he was deliberate, decisive, and resolute, with both yin and yang, rigidity and softness, and he was very capable. Such a person will not be short-sighted and will not be blind to the future. ”

Yuan Jianzhi shrugged again, noncommittal, but from his contemptuous eyes, it could be seen that he did not think much of Shimenfan.

"Assassination, hehe, a fool will believe that it was done by the remnants of the Gao family, it is the dead soldier of Changsun Hong!" Chen Longzhi turned to the door, looked up at the cuizhu in the courtyard outside the door, and said with a faint smile: "Killing the emperor, killing the prince, not only pulled out the power minister Gao's family, but also took the Duan family's lineage, and made a puppet to take the throne, it's too powerful!" If this person is in my Great Song Dynasty and seizes the opportunity, he will be a figure like Shi Miyuan. ”

"So, my lord, this man won't listen to us." Yuan Jianzhi said behind him: "Being so ambitious is also a scourge. ”

"No, no, no! Lord Yuan, you are wrong, on the contrary, this person is the most available! Chen Longzhi turned around, his eyes blazing and his face flushed: "It doesn't matter if you are ambitious, who doesn't have ambition?" No ambition is mediocrity! Ambition is the only way to be motivated. I think, the reason why he doesn't want to be the deputy envoy of Xuzhou defense is just because he looks down on him, he thinks the official is small, Lord Yuan. ”

"Official?" Yuan Jianzhi was even more disgusted: "This is the meaning of the Privy Council, and the officials decided below, where can we determine what official he is?" ”

"We can suggest." Chen Longzhi turned back to the back of the table, knocked on the table and said: "Give him a hat, a bigger one, such as the capital system, or a prefect or the like, but to hang in the air, he must work hard to fight for it." ”

"Hanging in the air?" Yuan Jianzhi was also born in Jinshi, his IQ is very high, and he immediately woke up: "My lord is saying...... Designate one of the state capitals in the direction of Lizhou to him and let him fight it himself? Anyway, it was all occupied by the Mongols, so it doesn't matter if you give it or not. ”

"Hahaha, Lord Yuan is very right!" Chen Longzhi smiled: "That's it, I'll send a letter to the Privy Council, and ask Zheng, Qiao and other ministers to approve it, if it can be done, we can get a strong army without effort, why not?" Hahaha! ”

Yuan Jianzhi thought about it for a while, and also smiled, and gave Chen Longzhi a thumbs up: "My lord, this plan is wonderful!" ”

……

In the city of Dali, it is thriving at the moment.

Duan Zhilang's decrees issued every day flew like snowflakes, and various policies to eliminate the accumulation of evils, benefit political affairs, and open agricultural science were implemented everywhere in Dali.

What he does every day is to sit in the main hall and sign the documents sent by Prime Minister Dong Ruotang over and over again, and he has no right to change the things drawn up above.

Not a single punctuation mark will do.

He is also happy with this kind of life, because these tasks can be completed quickly, and after signing, he can continue to live the life he yearns for. Wander around the imperial city, write poems, play the piano, drink and have fun with a large number of beauties sent by the Prime Minister's Palace, or go to the royal hunting ground to bend the bow on horses, shoot deer and drive dogs, and do the best in the world.

Prime Minister Dong Ruotang will often come over to talk to him about life, say something about life that must be happy, don't make the golden bottle empty to the moon, send some rare treasures, jewels and jade, all of which are rare things, and exotic beasts and foals, free-range in the imperial garden.

The hall is full of spring dreams, and the chrysanthemums are drunk in the building.

This kind of life is much better than before. Duan Zhilang enjoyed it, and he didn't feel like a captive canary at all.

Of course, he didn't know that every decree sent out, made of a notice and pasted on the city gate, pasted on the streets and alleys, and on the side of the village road, in addition to the seal of the Dali royal family, it would also be stamped with the seal of the ghost king of Dali.

And the seal of the ghost king is much larger than that of the Dali royal family.

At a cursory glance, it seems that there is only the seal of the ghost king on the notice. This creates the impression that this is the meaning of the Ghost King, the order of the Ghost King, not the Duan clan.

As a result, the common people will think that the measures to benefit the people, such as opening up wasteland, providing agricultural relief, and encouraging farming, were all promoted by the ghost king.

The fame of the ghost king is getting higher and higher, and it is getting better and better.

The eldest grandson of the ghost king, lived in the military camp in the north of Dali City, and he did not live in a large mansion that Dong Ruotang offered was originally a Dali clan, but moved directly into the military camp.

Duan Wu's Dali Governor's Yamen is also located here, which is not far from Dong Ruotang's Prime Minister's Mansion, and several important yamen have also moved to this side not far away. It is equivalent to saying that the entire center of Dali is built around the ghost king's mansion.

There is a newly built lobby in the barracks, with two entrances in the front and two entrances, the front office and the back people.

It's not big, it's not small, it's enough.

The lobby vestibule, similar to the ordinary yamen, a long case, two rows of circle chairs, is the place of daily deliberations, slightly different is, there is a huge map of cloth hanging on the south wall, mountains and rivers, city passes, are accurately drawn on it, if someone who understands geography sees, will be amazed at the meticulousness of this map, almost the entire Dali and Song Dynasty Sichuan Gorge four roads are on it.

On the map, there are a lot of small red and blue and black flags, and I don't know what it means.
