Chapter 714: Southwest Bound (Part I)
On the way home, Yang Huairen began to recall what happened in Dali at this point in time.
Although it is not clear whether it is Gao Shengtai or not, there was indeed a coup d'état at this point in the history of Dali.
In my impression, a minister surnamed Gao in Dali did set aside the imperial power of the Duan clan of Dali during this time, and he was in charge of the government alone.
Later, it seemed that a coup d'état was indeed successful, and Duan Zhengming, the emperor of Baoding, Dali, was indeed forced to hand over the imperial power to Gao Xiangguo in desperation, and then went to become a monk himself.
It's just that in this period of history, the imperial power of the Gao family did not last long, probably only lasted for a short period of two years.
There is a saying that after Gao Shengtai became the emperor of Dali for two years, he did not pass on the throne to his son or anyone in the Gao family before his death, but returned the throne to the Duan family.
What's even more amazing is that the Dali Duan clan doesn't seem to have much grudge against the Gao clan, but in the next hundred years, it gave the Gao clan the status of hereditary Buxie.
That is to say, the Duan clan of Dali continued to be his lord of Dali, while the Gao clan, two years after usurping power, continued to be the prime minister of Dali, and he was also the hereditary prime minister.
I don't know if others can understand this behavior of the Duan family and the Gao family, Yang Huairen can't understand it anyway, according to normal reasoning, shouldn't the two of them be enemies?
After thinking about it all the way, he didn't figure it out, Yang Huairen only felt that his brain hurt. No matter what interests they have, Yang Huairen regards the task of mediation given to him by Zhao Xu as a publicly-funded tour.
He arrived home on the front foot, and the holy decree arrived on the back foot, this time Zhao Xu was very generous, and gave him a real identity as a messenger, let him patrol the sky on behalf of the sky, supervise the southwest Zhulu Prefecture, and did not mention the affairs of Dali State in a word.
This is a political rhetoric, and the Holy Decree is also an official document, and in such an official document, it is absolutely impossible to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.
But the will is very vague, and the meaning is clear to Yang Huairen.
Mother Yang was a little unhappy when she heard the holy decree, saying that it was about to enter winter, and the official family had to send such a thankless task for Yang Huairen to do, and she would go so far away.
Yang Huairen didn't explain anything, some things didn't need to be said at all to worry the family, and Yang's mother said these things in front of everyone, not so much to say this to Yang Huairen, but to deliberately say it to the two daughters-in-law who had just given birth to children.
There is a little bit of explicit depreciation and implicit praise, Yang Huairen is like a mirror in his heart, and his mother is excusing him.
Even so, Yang Huairen still feels guilty about Yun'er and Lian'er, women have just given birth to children, and they need their husbands to stay by their side the most.
It's not that they don't have to need their husbands to really serve the confinement child, but as long as their husbands are around, they will feel that the pain of giving birth is nothing, they will feel warm in their hearts, and they will feel safe.
Yang Huairen also wanted to stay at home to accompany them more, but the time was a little tight, and he thought that if he rushed all the way over and symbolically dealt with the matter, he might be able to rush home before the New Year to accompany his wife and children for the New Year.
In these years, the real Qin mission is very particular, and the honor guard must be full of style, and there are many officials accompanying him, after all, there are many cumbersome affairs in the local area, and Yang Huairen cannot do it himself.
And the accompanying guards are even more indispensable, according to Yang Huairen's meaning, he went out this time to travel lightly, and it was enough to select only one hundred guards from his own house to accompany him.
However, in order to prevent unexpected time from happening, the holy decree still allowed Yang Huairen to select 3,000 forbidden soldiers from his Longwuwei forbidden army to accompany him for protection.
It sounds quite decent to take 3,000 forbidden troops on a business trip for the emperor, but this is 3,000 people, which is too eye-catching, even if there are some corrupt officials in the southwestern states, knowing that the Qin sent to parade with such fanfare, there is no evidence of their corruption.
Of course, Yang Huairen has no intention of doing so many things, as long as it is not too excessive, he can ignore it, because he knows in his heart that even if he finds out one or two big rats, there will be no major changes to the current situation in the Great Song Dynasty.
It's better to follow his way, first the outside of the palace, and then the inside, so this trip, first finish the things explained by the emperor, and then taste the delicacies of various places along the way, and then you can come back to make a difference.
There is another thing that Yang Huairen can also do by the way, that is, he can contact the original internal guards scattered all over the country along the way, and deal with the related matters related to the transformation of the internal guards into Fengshenwei.
So on this trip, his bodyguards used the 100 original internal guards in the palace guards, and the 3,000 dragon guards and forbidden troops let Lian Zigeng lead the entourage.
And his brothers, either like Tianba's younger brother and Ke Xiaochuan, have just started a family, or like Xiao Qi, his wife has just given birth to a child, Yang Huairen himself can't serve his wife at home for confinement, but he doesn't want Xiao Qi to be with his wife and children.
But when I told them, none of these people were willing to stay in the Yang family's Zhuangzi, and they were all willing to follow Yang Huairen out to see and learn.
Yang Huairen can only persuade them, like Brother Heiniu, as the general of the government guard, after Yang Huairen leaves, whether it is at home or in Longwuwei, he needs to stay and take care of them.
As for Ke Xiaochuan, after all, the injury at the beginning of the year had just improved, and after a long ride in the winter, Yang Huairen was afraid that his physical injuries would recur, so he didn't let Ke Xiaochuan follow.
Ke Xiaochuan refused, and came back with the reason that the man was ambitious in all directions. Yang Huairen just wants to laugh, you just shouldn't say this in front of the monks to give yourself courage, you just got married, why are you going out blindly?
Yang Huairen later gave him a ministry and asked him to be the chief instructor of the academy, supervising the life and study of the students of the academy, and carrying out the militarized management to the end, which allowed him to stay.
Xuanshen directly sent him to the northwest, Ke Xiaoxiao has been in Huanzhou for a year now, and last year's things have gradually faded, and it is time for her to return to the Central Plains.
Let Xuanshen go directly to Huanzhou, that is, Yang Huairen wants to fulfill the two of them, and it would be good to marry Ke Xiaoxiao directly, although Yang Huairen, the name of the Yongxing Military Road Jie Du Envoy, is a false title, but he believes that on the ground in Huanzhou, his words are still true, and no one will say irresponsible things.
And Tao Yong and Liang Erniang, it depends on how they choose, if they are willing to return to the Central Plains, they will take it back, there are many ministries in Zhuangzi that also need manpower, if they are willing to stay in Huanzhou and live a free life, then let them be.
