Yang Huairen followed the fingers of the little second brother and looked at the three white pagodas, but the doubts in his heart were more difficult to solve, Gao Shengtai usurped the throne, what is the connection with the three white pagodas of the Chongsheng Temple?

The little second brother sighed unconsciously, it seemed that they were reluctant to mention this matter, so Yang Huairen took out another piece of broken silver and stuffed it into the little second brother's hand with a smile.

Although the little second brother subconsciously took the silver and did not refuse, the expression on his face was not as relaxed as just now, as if the silver in his hand was hot.

He thought about it for a while, although he felt that this topic was not something that he could talk about as a person of humble status, but when he thought of his wife and children at home, he felt that he didn't need to get along with money, so he made a "shhhh

"I'm not afraid of the jokes of a few guest officials, Dali Duan's family was indeed very loved by the people before, but after the Guang'an Rebellion more than ten years ago, Duan's is not the original Duan's anymore, alas, ......"

This is said clearly, Yang Huairen didn't understand it anyway.

Seeing that he was at a loss, the second brother shook his head and explained in a whisper, "About thirteen or fourteen years ago, one of our Dali ministers, Yang Yizhen, held the military power of Dali, but unfortunately he was too ambitious, so he launched a rebellion to kill the emperor and seize the throne, and changed the year to Guang'an.

However, Yang Yizhen did this, after all, his name was not right, and he was not supported by Dali, from the ministers to the people, so he was also a short-lived emperor. It didn't take long for him to sit on the throne of Dali, and only three or four months later, he was recaptured by the Duan family. ”

Yang Huairen is still confused, what is the connection between what happened more than ten years ago and the current usurpation of power by the Gao family?

Xiao Er continued, "Actually, the prestige of the Dali Duan clan no longer existed at that time, otherwise Yang Yizhen would not have won the throne so easily.

Dali Duan's regaining the throne was helped by someone, and several guest officials guessed who led the barbarian soldiers to kill Yang Yizhen? ”

Yang Huairen seemed to have some eyebrows when he heard this, so he answered, "Is it the Gao family, another big family in Dali?" ”

Xiao Er pouted and nodded, "Yes, it's Gao's." At that time, Gao Zhisheng, the prime minister of Dali, and his son Gao Shengtai, who is now the king of Dali, risked their lives to lead the barbarian soldiers into Dali, killed Yang Yizhen and helped the Duan family of Dali to restore the throne.

At first, ordinary people like us were very happy, after all, the Duan family had been the lord of Dali for so many years, and he had always been good to the people, but it was a pity that ......"

Brother Tianba asked eagerly, "What is the pity?" Say it quickly. ”

Xiao Er cleared his throat, and Yang Huairen hurriedly poured him a bowl of tea and handed it over, "Say it slowly, don't worry." ”

Xiao Er thanked Yang Huairen, took a sip of tea and said, "It's a pity that the Gao family did not return the throne to the crown prince Duan Yanqing, but handed it over to Duan Shouhui, who was easily controlled by their Gao family." ”

Yang Huairen exclaimed, "Duan Yanqing?!" ”

It turns out that there is really such a waste prince, it seems that in the martial arts I have seen in my previous life, except for the fact that Duan Yu's name and history are a little different, like Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun, the brothers, plus the current Duan Yanqing, they are all right.

Xiao Er was very surprised when he saw him, and he also looked very surprised, "Yes, it is the Prince of Yanqing, he is easy-going, and he is also loved by the people." ”

Yang Huairen snickered in his heart, that is, he couldn't tell what the true temperament of the prince of Yanqing was, whether it was the easy-going thing that Xiao Er said, or the great evil man who was full of evil in martial arts, if his temperament was really full of evil, then he succeeded to the throne and became the lord of Dali, I don't know how the people will face it.

Xiao Er smashed his mouth, "But this Duan Shouhui is a mediocre emperor, and he doesn't care about anything when he becomes an emperor, and he hands over all state affairs to Gao Zhisheng's father and son to deal with."

Everyone speculated that he was just a puppet emperor, and since then he has gradually lost confidence in the Dali Duan clan.

However, this Duan Shouhui is also self-aware, and after reigning for less than a year, he abdicated and became a monk, at this time the people thought that the prince of Yanqing would succeed to the throne as the lord of the country, but something happened that we Dali people felt very unseemly. ”

Xiao Er seemed a little embarrassed, and the palms of his hands holding the silver were also sweating, and he paused for a while before he reluctantly said, "I was particularly impressed that year, there seemed to be a storm in Dali City, and people like me naturally hid at home and didn't dare to go out."

However, after that night, the entire family of the Prince of Yanqing was killed, and the blood flowed in front of the Prince's Mansion, and the body of the Prince of Yanqing was not found, so everyone speculated that he had already been ...... Alas...... It's miserable. ”

"And then?"

"Later, Emperor Baoding, the grandson of Emperor Shangde, succeeded to the throne, and everyone said that he persecuted the family of Prince Yanqing before ascending to the throne, so everyone didn't have much expectation for the Duan family, and the original love couldn't be talked about."

Tie Xiangyu, who had been beside him without speaking, said angrily, "No, isn't Emperor Baoding Duan Zhengming?" It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that he is kind and charitable, and he is a good person. ”

Xiao Er smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's one thing to say to you that the people in the rivers and lakes are kind and giving, and it's another thing to be good to the people."

Maybe it's because he is so generous to the people in the rivers and lakes that you said, that he actually took out the money from the treasury to help the people in the rivers and lakes you said, but turned a blind eye to the people of his own country, this is called a good emperor?

In the past ten years of his reign, it is said that it is called the rule of inaction, and the ugly thing is that he has never done anything serious, such a Dali Duan family, even if it has a good reputation in your Central Plains, but how can we let the people of Dali love it?

If it weren't for the Gao father and son barely maintaining the entire country, I'm afraid Dali would have been finished. If nothing else, let's just say that the white pagoda of this Chongsheng Temple, since its inception, has been almost 300 years, and it has long been dilapidated, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is crumbling.

When Emperor Baoding succeeded to the throne, he said that he wanted to renovate, but the words are good, and he said it every year, but he couldn't get the money to repair it every year, which is also called sincere worship of the Buddha? How can the Buddha bless their Duan clan? ”

Brother Tianba scratched his head in confusion, looked back at the brand-new white tower outside the window, and then turned back to look at Xiao Er and wondered, "The white tower outside the window, isn't this very new?" It looks like it has just been renovated recently, how can you say that Dali Duan's is not doing business? ”

Yang Huairen also felt that the matter had finally come to the point, and then asked, "Yes, what's going on?" ”

Xiao Er smiled disdainfully, "The White Pagoda has only been renovated this year, otherwise how could it be renewed?" It's just that it was not the Duan family who paid to repair the White Tower, but the current Dali lord Gao Shengtai! ”
