- How else to say, the brine points tofu, and one thing drops one thing?

The useless broken flag in the face of the brute is in front of the Dali ** team, but the results are immediate.

Immediately after seeing the flag, an officer came down with a team of soldiers to inquire. The soldiers wore short-sleeved half-body leather armor and bronze helmets on their heads, while the officers wore bright light armor and steel helmets with hairpins. Looking at this group of officers and soldiers who seemed to have walked down from the murals, if it weren't for the fact that they were generally shorter, the Great Song Dynasty Mission really had the feeling of traveling from the barbarian era to the Tang Dynasty.

"Are you really the envoys of the kingdom?" The officer stood still, looking at the group, which was embarrassed, but clearly well-equipped and elegant...... I don't know where he saw it, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted. It was said in Chinese, and it was Han etiquette that was practiced, so that the Great Song Mission, who was accustomed to hearing the 'Uluwala' bird language along the way, was suddenly called a cordial.

"Exactly." Lu Huiqing stepped forward, informed the officer of his name, and showed the envoy and official certificate, although the other party was a border guard, but the Great Song Dynasty had never sent a messenger to Dali, and he naturally had no way to distinguish the authenticity.

But common sense told him that he couldn't be wrong, and the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty couldn't pretend to be those who couldn't pretend. Hurry up and open the door and let the angel of the country enter the customs. However, for the sake of safety, they were still asked to bring only 100 guards, and the rest were tied outside the gate, and their own food and drink were served.

This is the proper meaning of the question, not to mention that in this Guancheng called 'Zhenbei Pass', because of the military action of the Great Song Dynasty, the number of troops increased to more than 20,000, and if you want to eliminate them, you don't have to go through such a lot of trouble.

Chen Ke and Wang Qi were together, and Wang Qi led people into the pass, while he stayed outside the pass and camped on the hillside with the guards.

After resting like this for more than ten days, the physical strength and energy of the whole mission have almost recovered, and the officials sent by Dali to greet them have also arrived.

The costumes of Dali officials are also very much in line with the Tang system...... And the Song Dynasty basically followed the Tang system, so it looks particularly cordial.

I saw that the two leaders were both under thirty years old, wearing a virtuous crown on their heads, wearing purple long-sleeved robes, waist girdles, and knees in front. A jade belt is tied around the waist. Feet in platform boots. There is little difference from the legal uniforms of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, the only difference is that their Jinxian crown is very high...... Not to mention the Jinxian crown, these days I see that the hats of the civil officials and military generals of Dali are more than a foot high, which seems a little funny.

"It's such a country that likes to wear a top hat." Wang Qi and Chen Ke were entertaining in front, and Song Duanping muttered in the back.

"Look at these two people's Jinxian crowns, why are they all Qiliang?" Lu Huiqing stared at Liang Shu, who represented the rank: "Could it be that in this Dali country, the more Liang Shu, the less valuable?" ”

But it soon proved that he was wrong, and Dali is also the more Liang Liang, the more valuable it is. Because they came to greet them. One is Yang Yizhen, the son of Yang Yunxian, the Taishi of Dali, and the other is Gao Shengtai, the son of Gao Zhisheng, the prime minister of Dali...... There are still differences between the two countries, for example, Dali does not shy away from the words of its ancestors.

The Yang family and the Gao family are the two powerful ministers of Dali, and their status is on a par with the Duan clan of the royal family, so it is not unusual for the two of them to have such a high grade at a young age.

These two are of the same age, Yang Yizhen has thick eyebrows and eagle eyes. A heroic look; Gao Shengtai is broad-mouthed. The image of a noble person is not a mortal. The first of them was Yang Yizhen, who performed a standard Han etiquette towards Wang Jue and said: "The angel of the upper kingdom is coming, and the ministers of the lower kingdom are not welcome, forgive the sins." ”

The other party was willing to play Sven, Wang Jue finally had a place to use, he was wearing a spotless purple robe, and he said with a graceful and luxurious air all over his body: "The son of the world is exempt from courtesy." This official was sent by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to meet the monarch of your country, trekking through mountains and rivers along the way, and stayed in the north pass of this town for half a month, I don't know when I will be able to see the monarch of your country? ”

"You're ready to go." Yang Yizhen said with a smile: "The main reason is that the lower country has never received the envoy of the upper country, so it is a little hectic and rude." Please also forgive your sins. ”…,

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Under the guidance of Yang Yizhen and Gao Shengtai, the mission drove into the territory of Dali, at first it was still a lofty mountain and a difficult road, but Chen Ke and they all recovered their strength, and they did not have to worry about safety, so it was much easier to walk than the first half of the road, and they finally had the mood to enjoy the majestic beauty in Dali.

It's a land of extremely bright colors. Looking up, it is the blue sky that makes you feel intoxicated, although there is no air pollution in the Great Song Dynasty, but there is no such pure blue.

The closest to the blue sky is the shining snow-capped mountaintop, although it is already May, but on the top of the towering mountain, it is still made of silver and jade, holy and elegant, which makes people forget the vulgar. Under the pure white snow line, there is a turquoise grassland, and under the grassland is a dense green forest, and there is a turquoise mountain lake in the forest. Lin Ying is cast in the clear lake, and the wisps of mist on the lake in the morning are drifting, which is also real and illusory, like a poetic painting.

Walking out of the forest along the river, it suddenly opened up to a vast grassland full of wildflowers. Gao Shengtai said that this kind of plain is called 'dam', and the towns of Dali are built on these dams, large and small, scattered in the mountains.

Looking at the wide road full of flowers on the side of the road, everyone realized that this suffocating country is even red! Heaven loves this land too much, how can she be born so beautifully? The civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty couldn't help but chant poems one after another, praising this fairyland-like paradise in front of them.

Even Wang Jue thinks that it is worth the hard work on the way to this beautiful country to come!

Outside the dam, they were shocked by the natural beauty, and inside the dam, they were attracted by the overwhelming and ever-changing folk customs...... There are many tribes in Dali, almost a dam and a tribe, and each tribe has its own culture, architecture, clothing, customs, and food. This is really the best classroom for these Nerds of the Great Song Dynasty who used to 'only read the books of sages and sages' to broaden their horizons and change their thinking.

What moved and made them proud was that the people of Dali had a great affection for the Great Song Dynasty. Everywhere the mission went, they were greeted with the most pompous hospitality, and when they left, the tribes offered their most precious specialties...... Of course, the dignity of a big country has always been 'to vote for me with papaya, and repay it with Qiongju', and the mission will return the gift with tea and silk produced by the Great Song Dynasty, which is much heavier than their gifts.

At this time, Chen Ke and the others understood why Zhang Fangping asked them to bring so many supplies, if not, it was really not enough to reward. This also made the accompanying Dali officials secretly admire: 'The heavenly kingdom is magnificent......

This group of Dali officials, has long been impressed by the Song envoy's literary brilliance, every day like a student to follow them, once there is a new poem, immediately let people copy it, not only for their own appreciation, but also to send to Dali City, first to the king and the secretary to appreciate.

Now I see that the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty treats the people of all ministries with grace and courtesy, and he has also been loved by the people of all tribes from the bottom of their hearts. They simply became the brains of the Song Dynasty.

But Yang Yizhen and Gao Shengtai, although they were also smiling, there were more and more clouds in their eyes.

Chen Ke watched coldly and made a preliminary judgment on the minds of these two families. Secretly, he and Lu Huiqing and Zeng Bu together, and found that everyone thought of it together, and it seemed that although it was not in the middle, it was not far away......

To say that this Dali State basically inherited the territory of Nanzhao State, and also inherited its official system and division. Its political center is in the Erhai area. The territory was probably the size of what was later Yunnan, Guizhou, southwestern Sichuan, northern Burma, and a few areas of Laos and Vietnam, nearly three times the size of later Yunnan.

But it is not the same thing as Nanzhao, and its biggest change is that the ruling nation has changed. The ethnic groups living in this land, mainly the Wuman and the Baiman, the Nanzhao State was established by the Wuman, but in the last years, after the powerful minister Zheng Mai killed the monarch and usurped the throne, in just 30 years, the imperial power changed hands four times, and the power of the Wuman declined rapidly, and the Baiman took the opportunity to take the throne. ..., the Zhao family and the Yang family of the two dynasties before the Zheng family were both white barbarians, and the Zheng family itself was also a white barbarian. A year before Song Taizu was born, Yang Ganzhen, the leader of the Yang family, usurped the throne and ascended to the pole, and Duan Siping, the leader of the Duan clan at that time, was appointed as the envoy of the Tonghai Festival. Because it was rumored that he had the appearance of an emperor, under suspicion, Yang Ganzhen killed Duan Siping.

Duan Siping's whole family was killed, and after fleeing back to Tonghai alone, he united with the Baiman clan and borrowed troops from the 37th Wuman Department in the east to defeat Yang Ganzhen, and forced the Yang family to abdicate, and finally established the Dali State. But the Yang clan is still a big barbarian clan, and Duan Siping mainly relies on the power of the barbarians to cause trouble, and he does not have an overwhelming advantage, fearing that once the Yang clan is eliminated, he will be swallowed by the barbarians.

Therefore, he did not eliminate the Yang family, but treated them well, which won him a high reputation, and also made Dali always a white barbarian world. But in order to give an explanation to Wuman, he divided the princes, and divided the country into two governors and six knots in addition to the national capital Dali, and gave the noble surnames of Baiman and Wuman who followed him, and Yang was also among them. Finally stabilized the regime and passed on to the country to this day.

But this kind of appeasement policy that only cares about the present has also left a bane for future generations. Now in Dali, the ministers are in charge, and they all have soldiers and territories, the most horizontal of which are the Gao and Yang families.

The Gao family, the leader of the seven barbarian tribes in the thirtieth year of Chinese New Year's Eve, was named Marquis of Yue after Gao Fang; The Yang family is after the previous royal family. Decades ago, after the failure of the rebellion of the Dong clan of the White Barbarian clan, these two families stood out because of the meritorious service of King Qin, completely surpassing the other six. In order to suppress one of them, the king of Dali had to rely on one of them, and when this one was powerful, he would rely on that one, and as a result, two powerful ministers with big tails came out.
