Duan Yu, who was immersed in the news about Western Xia that he had heard, didn't notice the change in his father's face, and said with great interest: "Father, have we also received the news that Li Qianshun, the lord of Western Xia, is going to dedicate his own pearl, Princess Qinglu, to Chu Yi, the king of the Great Song Dynasty......

Between speaking, Duan Yu said with disdain: "Then Li Qianshun can be regarded as a generation of heroes, I never thought that he would do such a shameful thing." ”

As if empathizing, Duan Yu suffered several losses in the hands of Chu Yi, and finally grew, plus both Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun regarded Duan Yu as the successor of the emperor in Dali in the future, so there was no shortage of cultivation for Duan Yu.

It is precisely because of this that Duan Yu has grown a lot.

Coughing lightly, Duan Zhengchun looked at Duan Yu's excited appearance and said slowly: "Yu'er, you said that if the Great Song Dynasty uses troops against me in Dali one day, what should I do in Dali?" ”

Duan Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard such a question, and his face showed a little confused, and it took a while to react and say, "Why did Father say this? Haven't I always been good friends with Da Song? ”

Duan Zhengchun shook his head and said: "Everything between countries is based on interests, the Great Song Dynasty and my Dali are good friends, that is because the energy of the Great Song Dynasty is restrained by the Western Xia and the Great Liao, and there is no power to target our Dali, don't forget the Central Plains saying, how can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch, my Dali is adjacent to the Great Song Dynasty, if the Great Song Dynasty is enemies everywhere, then it will be fine, but once the Great Song Dynasty is prosperous, do you say that the relationship between our two countries can still maintain such harmony?" ”

No matter how naïve Duan Yu was, he knew that if the situation as his father had said, a big war would inevitably break out between the two countries.

I don't know what came to mind, Duan Yu subconsciously shuddered and said: "Father, if the Great Song Dynasty really wants to use troops against my Dali, I'm afraid that my Dali will only have one way to lose the country......"

Looking at Duan Yu, who had been hit and looked in low spirits, Duan Zhengchun sighed in his heart, waved his hand and said: "Maybe my father is worried, don't think too much about it, Yu'er will accompany your righteous brother these days." ”

After sending Duan Yu away, Duan Zhengchun returned to the study, and stayed in the study for most of the day, and when he came out of the study again, Duan Zhengchun was in a state of mind, as if he had not rested for several days.

Early in the morning of the second day, Duan Zhengchun appeared in the palace, in the imperial study, Duan Zhengchun said to Duan Zhengming: "Imperial brother, my brother has made a decision, it is related to the rise and fall of my Dali national fortune, my brother really shouldn't be emotional, now in the palace, Yu Yan, A Zhu, A Zi, Wanqing, Ling'er and several daughters have reached the marriageable age, and the royal brother can choose one of them to be my Dali princess and dedicated to the King of the Song Dynasty." ”

After gritting his teeth and finishing his words, Duan Zhengchun seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and the whole person sat on the chair, looking listless.

Duan Zhengming saw Duan Zhengchun's reaction in his eyes and sighed slightly, but he didn't try to persuade Duan Zhengchun to do anything, just stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "Although Wanqing and Zhong Ling's daughters are lively and cute, they are a little less polite and educated. ”

Duan Zhengchun seems to have expected this for a long time, his daughter, he knows best, all rivers and lakes have very heavy habits, and only Wang Yuyan has a good upbringing, and her temperament is from a scholarly family.

Taking a deep breath, Duan Zhengchun nodded towards Duan Zhengming and said, "Brother, I'll go back and inform Yu Yan and let Yu Yan prepare early." ”

In the courtyard of the palace, in a quiet courtyard, because the Murong family collapsed, Murong recovered, and the Wang family lost shelter in Jiangnan.

On this day, Duan Zhengchun walked into this courtyard.

In the back garden of the courtyard, a figure appeared in Duan Zhengchun's sight, the girl was dressed in a palace skirt and clothes, her eyebrows were picturesque, as quiet as an orchid in the empty valley, who was not Wang Yuyan.

At this moment, the girl was taking care of a camellia plant seriously, and she could see that she was very attentive, even if Duan Zhengchun walked closer, she didn't notice it.

"Yu Yan!"

The girl's body trembled, raised her head, and when she saw Duan Zhengchun, a bright light flashed in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and then she bowed slightly to Duan Zhengchun and said, "Yu Yan has seen my father." ”

Looking at Wang Yuyan's lifeless appearance, Duan Zhengchun sighed lightly in his heart, although the blood is connected, but after all, the father-daughter relationship is lost, and it is not easy for Wang Yuyan to call him his father.

You must know that Rumu Wanqing and Ah Zi, they don't pay attention to them. However, looking at Wang Yuyan, Duan Zhengchun felt a little guilty in his heart.

Sighing slightly, Duan Zhengchun looked at Wang Yuyan but didn't know how to speak for a while.

On the contrary, it is Wang Yuyan, if Wang Yuyan in the past is more like a young girl who is immersed in her own dreams, then as the Murong family was extinguished by the imperial army, including Murong Fu, the Murong family was completely wiped out, Wang Yuyan's dream woke up, and the whole person grew a lot at once.

Looking at Duan Zhengchun's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Wang Yuyan spoke: "Father, doesn't he have anything to say to Yu Yan?" ”

Duan Zhengchun opened his mouth, took a deep breath and said, "Yu Yan, my father begs you to promise your father one thing, if it is...... If you don't agree, Yu Yan, it will be as if your father didn't say ......"

Looking at Wang Yuyan's clear eyes, I don't know why, Duan Zhengchun's heart finally softened, but he said such a thing.

Wang Yuyan said slowly: "If my father has anything to say, just say it." ”

Duan Zhengchun told Wang Yuyan in detail the purpose of his visit, and then looked at Wang Yuyan with a worried face and said, "Yuyan, you ...... If you don't agree, let it be your father's mistake. ”

But I didn't know that Wang Yuyan heard Chu Yi's name, and a different color flashed in her eyes, and at this moment Wang Yuyan raised her head and looked at Duan Zhengchun and said, "Father, Yu Yan agreed." ”

Duan Zhengchun was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed in surprise: "What, you...... You promised? ”

Obviously, Wang Yuyan's ability to agree was completely beyond Duan Zhengchun's expectations, Duan Zhengchun knew that his daughter had a deep affection for Murong Fu, who had already died, and now he agreed so easily.

Wang Yuyan nodded and said: "As a daughter, Yu Yan should relieve her parents' worries, since this is the case, why should Yu Yan be sorry for herself!" ”

Duan Zhengchun sighed softly.

A few days later, following the Western Xia sent a delegation to the Great Song Dynasty, Dali also sent a delegation to the Great Song Dynasty, but compared to the high profile of the Western Xia, Dali did not publicize it too much, and even the entire mission knew Wang Yuyan's identity and the purpose of the trip There were only two or three people.

Great Song Dynasty Bianliang City

The autumn breeze is cool, it is the early autumn season, but the weather is quite stuffy, and the city gate that used to be busy is now guarded by a team of forbidden troops.

The official road is paved with loess, and both sides are sprinkled with clear water, which can be described as a loess pavement, and the clean water is sprinkled on the street.

The people of Beijing only look at this scene, even if they have no knowledge, they can see that this is to welcome some big man into Beijing.

You must know that there are really few people who can afford such a grand ceremony, looking at the entire Great Song Dynasty, and more importantly, under the gaze of many people around, an official came from all directions and gathered at the gate of the city.

Although I dare not say that all the officials are here, but at least there are hundreds of officials below the fourth grade, and this kind of movement makes the people around the people excited one by one, secretly guessing where this is sacred, I am afraid that only when the Son of Heaven returns, can he be worthy of the hundred officials.

Just when countless people were speculating about who was going to greet him, from far away from the imperial city, Yiluan drove out of the imperial city, and under the protection of the Praetorian Guard, dozens of civil and military officials accompanied him, slowly coming along the straight long street.

"Oh my God, the Son of Heaven Luan, this is the official family out of the palace!"

"The official family welcomes you, this is actually the official family!"

"I know, the official family can welcome it, looking at the Great Song Dynasty, I'm afraid there is only that one!"

Just when many people were excited to see Emperor Luan and the civil and military ministers coming slowly, Zhao Gou, who was sitting in the frame, had a dignified look on his face.

Since getting the news that Chu Yi was going to return to Beijing a month ago, Zhao Gou has been preparing for this day.

In Zhao Gou's opinion, it would be great if Chu Yi could be stationed in Youzhou, but he never thought that Chu Yi would enter Beijing from Youzhou.

According to the news from Chu Yi, the purpose of Chu Yi's return this time was to discuss major matters with the imperial court, but he did not make it clear what kind of major matters he wanted to discuss.

In this way, it is impossible for Zhao Gou not to think nonsense, what kind of thing can make Chu Yi a big deal.

Could it be that Chu Yi wanted to force him to take the Zen position, but Zhao couldn't think of any other major event that would allow Chu Yi to return to Beijing in person.

But even so, Zhao Gou had no other way, just like when Zhao Yu went to the north to read out the rewards for the soldiers of the three armies, he saw Chu Yi easily kill the strong people such as the Dragon Tree Venerable King.

After Zhao Yu returned, he only told Zhao Gou that Chu Yi was invincible by force, even if it was the joint efforts of several celestial and human sect elders of the royal family, I am afraid it would not be enough for Chu Yi to kill with a few punches.

It can be said that since then, the last trace of thought in Zhao Gou's heart has vanished, and he has never thought about calculating Chu Yi's affairs, anyway, as Zhao Yu told him, if Chu Yi really wants to take away their Zhao family, then their Zhao family only needs to cooperate obediently, and maybe they can be like the Chai family, but the Zhao family will not be destroyed.

Thoughts flew in his heart, and Zhao Gou, who was driving in Luan, looked at the people kneeling on the ground around him through the thin veil, but his heart was full of panic, as if he was waiting for Chu Yi's judgment.

In front of the city gate, a group of civil and military officers saw Zhao Gouluan driving here and hurriedly saluted Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou walked out from Luan's driving, and saw Zhao Yu accompanying Zhao Gou to the city gate and looked towards the end of the official road that extended into the distance.

Zhao Gou didn't speak, and the officials and people around him seemed to be affected by that atmosphere, and they didn't dare to speak one by one.

Almost after a cup of tea, I saw the end of the official road, and came on a horse, and I heard the messenger shouting from a distance: "His Royal Highness the King of Song will return to Beijing, and the idle people will retreat!" ”

Hearing the shouts of the messenger, the people who had been waiting for a long time were shocked and looked towards the end of the official road.

It can be said that among so many people present, except for a few people, the rest of the people were all curious about Chu Yi's return.

The only people who are really uneasy are the people in the Zhao royal family, plus a very small number of loyal people of Zhao and Song.

Soon a team of men and horses appeared in everyone's sight, and a group of cavalry in front opened the way, led by Yang Zaixing of the realm of heaven and man.

Hundreds of elite cavalry galloped, but the momentum was not small at all, and the earth could be felt in the distance, and behind this group of cavalry was a carriage made of fine iron, which was pulled by four horses of the same color, and behind the carriage was also a group of cavalry.

The sum of the full fight is only a team of more than a thousand people, but what comes to the face is a kind of evil aura of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

These elite soldiers are carefully selected from hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, each of which can be regarded as one in a hundred, plus the strong men of heaven and man personally command the troops, it is conceivable how strong the momentum of such a team of soldiers is.

The distance of hundreds of meters is only a blink of an eye for the cavalry in the gallop.

With a shout, the cavalry that came at a gallop immediately stopped, and even the carriage stopped at the first time, and it was none other than Fang La, the master of Manichaeism, who was the former hegemon of Jiangnan.

Under the control of such a heavenly powerhouse as Fang La, there are only a few horses, and he is naturally in control.

At this moment, Fang La looked at the battle at the city gate, and when his eyes swept over Zhao Gou, who was the leader, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, but when he looked at the carriage behind him, he said with a respectful face: "Your Highness, the official family is welcoming Your Highness at the city gate at this moment." ”

Chu Yi answered, then lifted the curtain and walked out of the carriage.

When even if there was an attendant carrying a soft stool under the car, Chu Yi, who was as warm as jade, slowly stepped out of the carriage, and the attendant on the side hurriedly put a big stool on Chu Yi, and saw Chu Yi wearing a dark narrow-sleeved python robe, the cuffs were inlaid with embroidered gold thread auspicious clouds, the scarlet and white jade belt around his waist, and the white jade exquisite waist was hung on it.

Chu Yi strode forward, while Lu Junyi, Fang La, Lu Shisang and several other celestial powerhouses followed closely behind Chu Yi, striding towards Zhao Gou and other civil and military officials at the city gate.

When Chu Yi got out of the carriage, Zhao Gou, who had been paying attention to the movement of Chu Yi's carriage, lowered his hanging heart slightly.

If Chu Yi's return this time is really to take away their Zhao family's country, then this is an opportunity to reveal his purpose to civil and military officials, as long as Chu Yi does not get off the frame and does not give him the face of the Son of Heaven, then those civil and military officials who are very thoughtful can definitely grasp Chu Yi's thoughts.

Then there will be people who will covet the merit of supporting the establishment in the future, and there is no need for Chu Yi to speak, I am afraid that I don't know how many people among the hundred officials will present the chapter and persuade him to Zen in Chu Yi.
