Chapter 886: The Secret of Dali Kingdom (I)
Yang Huairen said in his heart that this old man Gao is very well-informed, and the big things that happened to him are clear to the old man.
"Gao Xiangguo is too uplifting a boy, it's not that I want to be humble, it's that I'm just too lucky, blind cats always run into live fresh fish, don't you say it's strange?
If you want to talk about the ability to cook, the kid can still make do with it, but it's only to the extent that it doesn't make the master angry, and if you want to talk about other aspects, it's all exaggerated by other people's hearsay.
Some time ago, there was a legend that I ate more than 10,000 Western Xia captives raw, can you believe this, isn't it? ”
"Yang Jungong is open-minded, and the old man really admires and admires."
"Alas, frankness is not counted, and it is more appropriate to have no heart and lungs. Since Gao Xiangguo said this, it's not easy for the kid to talk some nonsense.
Before the kid came to Dali, he thought that the Duan clan of Dali had been in power for so many years, and if he suddenly changed to Gao Xiangguo in power, the people of Dali should have a relatively large voice of opposition.
But the kid has been in Dali for a few days, and he found that his previous thoughts were really taken for granted, Gao Xiangguo was highly respected in Dali, and few of the people said that you were not good.
Gao Xiangguo is deeply supported by the people of Dali, which is what is really admirable. ”
Gao Shengtai frowned slightly, thinking that Yang Huairen should not be sarcastic about him, and immediately smiled again, "Yang Jungong's trip to Dali means, the old man understands." There are some things that Yang Jungong may not believe when he says them, and even now, even the old man can't believe it. ”
"Oh? Why is that? ”
"Maybe people outside Dali don't understand, so they see the old man as a traitor who plots to usurp the throne, but the actual situation is that the old man never thought of seeking the meaning of the lord of Dali, but ......"
"What is it?"
Gao Shengtai sighed, "It's Emperor Baoding who insists on giving way to the old man, I say so, do you believe it?" ”
Yang Huairen opened his mouth in surprise, not knowing how to answer this question. Unbelief? Gao Shengtai's tone didn't look like a lie at all, and he didn't have to do this, in the future, when Yang Huairen came into contact with Duan Zhengming, everything would naturally be clear.
Letter? But why? People all over the world are obsessed with power, but if there is a chance for you to ascend the throne and become the emperor of a country, who else would not want to do it except Yang Huairen?
Duan Zhengming also worked hard to become the emperor of Dali back then, otherwise it would be unreasonable for Prince Yanqing's family to be wiped out overnight.
But since he had paid so much to be the emperor at the beginning, why did he want to be a Zen position today? And he didn't give the Zen position to his younger brother Duan Zhengchun, or any of the descendants of the Duan clan in Dali, but Gao Shengtai, the Xiangguo?
Gao Shengtai asked, "From Yang Jungong's expression, it seems that he wants to know why, right?" ”
Yang Huairen nodded subconsciously, and Gao Shengtai motioned for Yang Huairen to drink tea like a kind old man, and then said lightly, "I can't hide this matter." One day in the future, the matter will naturally be revealed to the world, and it will not be a big problem to tell Yang Jungong about it now.
I don't know if Yang Jungong has ever heard that Dali once had a prince of Yanqing? ”
"Prince Yanqing? Belch...... I've heard that he seems to have passed away many years ago, right? ”
Gao Shengtai shook his head, "The legend outside is that it is passed on, but in fact, Prince Yanqing is not dead, or rather, he may still have descendants alive." ”
Yang Huairen was confused, "How do you say this?" ”
Gao Shengtai is always a little ashamed to talk about an unbearable past in Dali, and his voice doesn't seem to be so stable.
"The murder of Prince Yanqing's family was not actually Emperor Baoding's original intention. Since the Duan family of Dali is the royal family of Dali Kingdom, the family is huge, and there are many side branches, with tens of thousands of people.
Yang Jungong is in a high position in the Great Song Dynasty, and he should also know that in the royal family, the relationship is complicated, and some things are not something that an emperor can say.
In the inheritance of the royal family, there will always be a situation where the support is strong and the weak is weak. Back then, my father borrowed the barbarian soldiers to capture Dali City, killed Yang Yizhen and restored the throne of the Duan family in Dali, which should have helped the Prince of Yanqing to restore the throne as emperor.
But at that time, the prince of Yanqing was young and the power behind him was weak, and under the pressure of the strong family of the Duan family in Dali, he could only correct the position of Duan Shouhui, the nephew of Emperor Baoan, and let him enter the great treasure, otherwise, the prince of Yanqing might have died at that time. ”
Yang Huairen didn't seem surprised when he heard this, everything was similar to what he imagined, but he originally thought that Gao Zhisheng was in power at that time, and he wanted to use Duan Shouhui, who was closer to him, to use Duan Shouhui as a puppet to achieve his political goals.
It turns out that there are such complicated reasons here, and according to this, the original incident is not to blame Gao Zhisheng's father and son.
And this also seems to make more sense of another thing, after Gao Zhisheng killed Yang Yizhen, he had the opportunity to establish himself as the emperor, he did not do this, maybe the Gao father and son are really not ambitious people, but very loyal to the Dali Duan family.
Gao Shengtai continued, "It's not a secret, our Dali Bai clan has three major families, the first is the Dali Duan clan, and their sphere of influence is in Dali City and the most densely populated area in the central region.
The Yang family of Dali, originally the second largest family, the sphere of influence in the north and west of Dali, for a long time the Yang family has been in control of Dali's military power, but before Yang Yizhen rebelled and killed the king, the Yang family was very loyal.
After Yang Yizhen, the Yang family declined, not only did they lose their military power, but the children of the Yang family gradually withdrew from the power center of the government, and now they can only be in a corner of peace.
Finally, our Gao clan, our sphere of influence, in the eastern part of Dali Tuodong generation, to say that in Dali City, it is really not as strong as the Duan clan.
Our descendants of the Gao family, most of them are also Xi the book of the sage, naturally know the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, dare not be treacherous, if it is not for the Baoding Emperor begging, how can I Gao Shengtai dare to take charge of the government alone? ”
Although Yang Huairen felt that Gao Shengtai was very sincere in what he said, he could not be sure that everything he said was the truth.
After thinking about it, he still said tentatively, "Maybe the matter is uncertain, Dali Duan has too many descendants and lost the hearts of the people, and Gao Xiangguo has always worked for the country and the people, and the people can see it. ”
Gao Shengtai actually sneered and smiled, completely disagreeing with Yang Huairen's statement, "Yang Jungong said that although Dali is not as vast as the Great Song Dynasty and has many talents, it is also a decent country compared to several small neighboring countries.
The head of a country is not someone who says he wants to be it, but he can be so easy to be......"
