On the first day of the first lunar month, Zhao Chen and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs discussed state affairs in the Imperial Palace, and Yanjing City was a lively and noisy city, countless Yanjing people visited the temple fair, visited relatives and friends, and when the night came, the sound of firecrackers and fireworks sounded in Yanjing City, and the whole Yanjing City was more lively.

It wasn't until late at night that Yanjing City was completely quiet.

At this moment, in an attic in the harem, Zhao Chen is staying here with Zhi Yueru and Qin Yuzhen, while Song Qingyao and Xue Susu are coaxing the children to sleep outside.

Zhao Chen was leaning on the bed, reading a book, and Zhi Yueru was sewing a piece of clothing on the side, she was extremely beautiful, affectionate and quiet, and the whole room seemed to be quiet because of her.

"Husband, why has this world been changed to a province? Aren't you going to abolish the three provinces and six ministries? The province is the meaning of the province of Shangshu. "The moon is like a road.

"The province has nothing to do with the previous three provinces and six ministries, it's just a name. In the past, there were 23 roads in the world, but many roads were set up temporarily, and some roads were set up for war. Some roads have a Xuanfu envoy, some roads have a Xuanfu envoy, and some do not have a supreme official, so it must be changed! In addition, now that the territory of our Great Song Dynasty has been restored to the prosperous era of the Han and Tang Dynasties, those places must also be divided. Zhao Chen said.

"How many provinces is the husband going to divide the world into?" Zhiyueru raised her head and said curiously.

"Preliminary positioning of thirty-six provinces! The previous 23 roads need to be divided again, many need to be merged, Western Xia may be divided into two or three provinces, Shangjing and Zhongjing will also become provinces respectively, Liaodong will be divided into two provinces, plus Goryeo, Annam, Dali and other places. Zhao Chen said.

"Annan and Dali are not owned by my Great Song Dynasty." The moon is like a road.

"Soon these two places will belong to my Great Song! Zhao Zhe has already used troops to Dali! Zhao Chen said.

"Ahh Zheyue was taken aback.

"There is a big problem in Dali, and it is the Duan clan in Dali who begged me to send troops to the Great Song Dynasty to eliminate the Gao clan." Zhao Chen said.

"I see!" Zheyue Ruben is the first talented woman in the northwest, and she has also heard about Dali, so she nodded immediately.

"After each province is set up as a province, it must also set up a parliament and a provincial court just like the imperial court, and the parliament and provincial court have the same status as the provincial government! At present, the National Assembly and the Parliament do not have many powers, only the executive and judicial are independent, but in the future, the National Assembly and the Parliament will gradually have the right to control the responsibilities of legislation, impeachment, etc.! It will take five to ten years for the provinces to set up parliaments, which cannot be done in a short time! The selection, appointment, and so on of provincial officials must be discussed! This time, there are too many things that need to be done to summon the most important civil and military minister in the world to Yanjing! Zhao Chen said with a smile.

For many things that Zhao Chen said, Zhi Yueru didn't understand what it meant, and she didn't ask, just nodded lightly.

"Husband, my master is here today." At this time, Qin Yuzhen suddenly spoke.

"Ahh Zhao Chen was taken aback and said, "Your master?" ”

Qin Yuzhen was an outstanding disciple of the righteous path back then, from Tianshan, in the past two years, Qin Yuzhen often talked about his master and master, Zhao Chen had promised to accompany Qin Yuzhen to Tianshan to meet Qin Yuzhen's master in the future, but he didn't expect Qin Yuzhen's master to come today.

"She saw me alone and left again! She said that I was unfit for cultivation and expelled me from the school. Qin Yuzhen showed a sad expression on his face and said.

"There is such a thing!" Zhao Chen put down the book, got off the bed, and walked to Qin Yuzhen's side.

He hugged Qin Yuzhen tightly in his arms and kissed gently, Qin Yuzhen hugged Zhao Chen, his eyes were moist, and the whole person choked up.

"The master doesn't want you anymore, the master doesn't want you anymore, isn't there still me? There are also Yueru and A-Yao! We are all your loved ones! We will be with you for the rest of our lives! Zhao Chen said.

"Hmm." Qin Yuzhen nodded slightly.

"What's the point of practicing in the mountains? Is it really possible to become an immortal? It is the best practice in the earthly world, to understand the sophistication of human beings, to change this country, to change this era, so that our race can flourish day by day, surpass the past, so that our race can continue to progress and move forward, this is the meaningful thing! The world is huge, we can have endless words and things to do in our lives, and we can enjoy the scenery of this world together, wouldn't it be good? When the national system is decided, I will have more leisure time, and I will accompany you well in the future. Zhao Chen said.

Qin Yuzhen nodded, a smile appeared on the face of the pear blossom with rain, and Zhao Chen lowered his head and kissed her tightly.

******

In the north, it's the middle of winter, but in faraway Dali, the climate is much warmer.

Late at night, outside Dali, the capital of Dali, 100,000 Song troops have surrounded this place at this moment!

There are Dali soldiers on the city wall, and these soldiers are terrified!

If there is any country in the world with the weakest military force, it is Dali! Dali's troops are far inferior to those of Goryeo, and the soldiers and horses of Dali have basically not participated in foreign wars! Historically, when the Mongols went south, they conquered Dali with only 20,000 soldiers and horses, and at this moment, 100,000 troops wanted to conquer Dali!

In the night, the shouts of killing kept ringing, and there was the sound of swishing bowstrings everywhere!

It wasn't until early in the morning, on the second day of the first lunar month, that the sound of shouting and killing and bowstrings gradually became quieter.

The Song army did not enter the city of Dali, it was just a bow and arrow shooting last night, but at this time in the morning mist, the gate of Dali City slowly opened!

I saw a tall Dali man walking out of the city, and the Song army immediately surrounded him.

"I am Gao Taisheng of Dali, I want to see you General Song!" This middle-aged humane.

It turns out that this person is the prime minister of Dali and the head of the Gao family in Dali! Since decades ago, this Dali country has been the world of the Gao family, and the Dali Duan family is just a puppet in the hands of the Gao family!

Song Jun took Gao Taisheng and walked forward, and after walking for a long time, they came to Zhao Zhe's face.

Gao Taisheng stared at Zhao Zhe with both eyes, laughed miserably after a while, knelt down, and said, "The minister of Dali will see the general!" ”

Zhao Zhe smiled and said, "You took the initiative to open the city gate, are you going to surrender to my Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Gao Taisheng nodded and said, "I hope the general will forgive me for Gao's sins!" ”

Zhao Zhe said: "Before I came, His Majesty decreed that if your Gao clan resists to the end, not only will you be a dead end, but the important people of the Gao clan will be executed, and the property of the Gao clan will be confiscated and state-owned!" But if you choose to surrender, we can give you a way out for the Gao family, and your property will still belong to you! You yourself are going to Yanjing and live in Yanjing City in the future! ”

Gao Taisheng was stunned and said, "Is it just to deal with us like this?" ”

Zhao Zhe nodded lightly.

Gao Taisheng breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, General, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

"Take us into town!" Zhao Zhedao.

At the moment, under the leadership of Gao Taisheng, the Song army entered the city of Dali.

The scenery in the city of Dali is beautiful, the streets here are very wide, and there are many temples in the city! The Buddhist atmosphere here is much stronger than that of Yanjing City, and Dali City was called Tiannan Buddha Country in the past!

This Dali city is not the ancient city of Dali in later generations, and the ancient city of Dali in later generations was built in the Ming Dynasty.

Along the way, the Song army has occupied all the important intersections.

Zhao Zhe's generals continued to lead the Song army towards the rest of the important strongholds in Dali City at this moment, and Zhao Zhe and Gao Taisheng were together.

"There are a lot of Yi tribes in Dali, will they surrender to the Great Song Dynasty?" Zhao Zhedao.

"They should take refuge in the Great Song Dynasty! They don't actually obey my Gao clan very much, but obey the Duan clan. Gao Tai ascended.

Zhao Zhe nodded.

It didn't take long for them to come to the front of the Dali Palace.

Dali palace is also a unique appearance of the Buddha country, there is a Buddha statue in front of the palace door, at this moment a person wearing a yellow robe is kneeling in front of the palace to welcome the arrival of the Song army, there are more than a dozen Dali people behind him, all dressed luxuriously, among which there are even monks.

"Dali Duan Heyu, Duan Zhengming, Duan Zhengchun, etc., see the general!" The man in the yellow robe had already spoken.
