Chapter 1259: Panicked
"Father, you know that Datang is not easy to mess with, why do you agree to the other party?" Duan Mingcheng looked at Duan Zhengyan with some concern, he knew that his father and emperor had summoned him at this time, I am afraid it was because of this matter.
"Do you think the Great Song Dynasty can really give us the land of Bashu for thousands of miles?" Duan Zhengyan smiled bitterly.
"No, not even half a mile of land will be given to us." Duan Mingcheng didn't want to think about it and said: "They just use us and let us send troops to contribute, although Zhang Jun resisted the attack of the king of the county in Bashu, but it will definitely not be easy, the prosperous Jinguan City has now withered, Zhang Jun has resisted Li Qiao's attack for more than a year with the strength of one place, which is already quite good, so we will let us send troops, but as long as Li Qiao is defeated, the entire Bashu belongs to the Great Song Dynasty." ”
"Yes, it is impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to give us the land of Bashu, but we still need to send troops." Duan Zhengyan smiled bitterly and said: "Qin Hui is right, the Tang Emperor is eloquent, he will not allow me Dali to remain in the world, he will destroy Dali and unify the world, but the Great Song Dynasty is different, they like to be like the Heavenly Empire, they will not send troops, we just need to pay tribute, hehe, there is even a reward for the New Year." ”
"But sooner or later, Datang will unify the world! At that time, what should we do? Duan Mingcheng is still full of confidence in Datang, thinking that Li Jing will unify the world sooner or later.
"I just want them to stay as they are, everyone will rule across the river, and Li Qiao's army can retreat to Guanzhong." Duan Zhengyan smiled bitterly: "This is the sorrow of Dali, I can only hope that the two strong men will remain the same." ”
"Then the father is looking for his son." Duan Mingcheng felt bitter in his heart, he knew that he had failed in this game.
"I will let your two friends leave Dali, I will not kill them, so it can be regarded as having a little incense with Datang, plus Bai Feng is in the palace, I think Datang will leave us a glimmer of hope in the future; Second, I will imprison you in the mansion, if something really happens in the future, you still have hope, if Li Jing protects my Dali Temple, you are the king of Dali; If the Great Song wins, you are also the king of Dali. Duan Zhengyan patted his son and said.
"Father." Duan Zhengyan didn't expect that he would be treated like this, although he would be the king of Dali in the future, but who can guarantee this matter!
"Hold on." Duan Zhengyan took it and sighed in his heart, if there was nothing else, why should Duan Zhengyan be like this?
"Your Majesty." At this time, an attendant from outside broke in, looking flustered, as if something big had happened.
"What's going on?" Duan Zhengyan felt aggrieved for a while, and he really wanted to kill the guy in front of him.
"The two generals of the Tang Dynasty went out of the city with 5,000 men and horses, saying that they were practicing the ability of the army to run long distances." The chamberlain didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "It's just that they used to train the troops on the orders of His Majesty, and no one dared to stop them, so they let the other party leave." ”
"Why didn't you report it earlier?" Duan Zhengyan's face changed greatly, he didn't have to think about it to know, Yang Tingjing and the others obviously knew that something was wrong, and even knew what happened in the court today, so they would leave immediately, so as not to suffer poison, but these guys left by themselves, even if these guys left by themselves, Duan Zhengyan would not say anything, the key is to take away five thousand elites, what can five thousand people do, I am afraid that there is no city in Dali that can withstand the attack of five thousand people, unless it is Shanyan.
"Your Majesty, the prime minister is here." At this time, another chamberlain came to report, but as soon as the words fell, Gao Liangcheng broke in with a gloomy face, not caring about the rules in the palace at all.
"Your Majesty." A high amount of salute.
"Gao Xianglai wants to ask about Yang Tingjing and Hu Yanbao, I tell you, no one informed them." Duan Zhengyan seemed to be very familiar with Gao Liangcheng's style, so he sighed: "I'm afraid that Datang already knows that you sent someone to spy on them, and as soon as they find out that something is wrong, they will immediately flee, now it's okay, five thousand people have left the Jingshi, if something happens along the way, how can it be." ”
Duan Zhengyan couldn't help but touch his forehead, how long has it been since the thirty-seven rebellions, and now there are five thousand more elites, and how many people can resist it. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glared at Duan Zhengyan fiercely, if it weren't for the Gao family's monitoring of Yang Jingting, which made the other party vigilant, where would there be so many things.
"Most of these 5,000 people are loyal ministers and righteous people of Dali, and I don't think anything will happen." Gao Liangcheng didn't look like he was a fake, and he felt a little embarrassed in his heart. The Gao family and the Duan family complement each other, wary of each other, but they rely on each other, and the relationship is extremely secretive.
"Hey, I was thinking about how to send Yang Tingjing and Hu Yanbao back to Datang just now! This kind of thing is happening right now, this, how is this good. Duan Zhengyan shook his head, it was true that the five thousand righteous people were loyal to his Duan family back then, but how many people are loyal to the Duan family now, he himself dare not guarantee it. What's more, even if these people are loyal to the Duan family, they will definitely not be loyal to the Gao family, who knows how they will treat the Gao family's children.
"Kill." Gao Liangcheng's face was cold, and a word came out of his mouth, full of blood. These five thousand people were originally to deal with the Gao family, but because of Duan Zhengyan's own idea, even if Gao Liangcheng was dissatisfied, there was no way, and now that he finally got the opportunity, he also wanted to solve these five thousand people in one fell swoop.
Duan Zhengyan hesitated for a moment, 5,000 people is not a small number, can Dali, who has just experienced the turmoil, withstand the loss of these 5,000 people? Duan Zhengyan himself is a benevolent emperor, and he has a good reputation in Dali, which is also the characteristic of the Duan emperor, and his prestige among the people is very high, which makes the Gao family jealous.
The successive heads of the Gao family were all heavily armed, and they once usurped power and stood on their own, but in the end they all ceded to the Duan family, isn't that because of this? The reason why Gao Liangcheng agreed to Qin Hui was that he actually had a calculation in private, but it was just hard to say.
"It's all my Dali people, just kill like this?" Duan Mingcheng said with some concern. It's just that before he finished speaking, he was glared at by Gao Liangcheng, his face was pale with fright, and he didn't dare to speak.
"Your Majesty, the minister is not worried about anything else, but is worried that if these 5,000 people collude with the rebels of the 37th Division, then it will not be 5,000 rebels, but more than 100,000 troops, please Your Majesty will be aware of it." Gao Liang Cheng Zhengrong said.
The corners of Duan Zhengyan's mouth twitched, the thirty-seven divisions were the pain points of the Duan family, especially after the thirty-seven divisions formed the Ziqi Kingdom, which made Dali see the strength of these barbarian warriors. Now, if you get the support and help of Yang Tingjing and others, the power of Ziqi will definitely be expanded, which is simply a disaster for Dali.
