Speaking of this, Song Erfu let out a long sigh and said in a very sad tone, "How innocent are the ordinary people? It's a pity that the king is confused and doesn't understand this truth, all he cares about is his throne. ”

For no reason, Ye Jingjing thought of Penglai again.

The evil of the world cannot escape greed and hatred, and the world's obsession with power is the combination of these three, or is it because of the emergence of these three that the obsession with power is born?

Song Erfu continued, "The former king himself was buried in the fire, but I knew that Dali's bloodline could not be broken, so I fled from Erhai with the frail and sickly prince, that is, the previous king, his three wives and four concubines, and the only remaining civil and military officials.

"At that time, my official position, in your words, should be the prime minister, and I was also the crown prince. Of course, Song Erfu is not my real name, this is just a code name after I came to the Central Plains.

"My real name is Luo Shilong, as for this Yuanxin, she is not an ordinary nun, but our Dali Protector General, whose real name is Meng Una."

Ye Jingjing covered her mouth in surprise and looked at Yuanxin with unbelievable eyes, "You are actually ......"

"Isn't it strange for a woman to be a general?" Yuan Xin asked lightly, "Don't be surprised, I've been questioned more since I was a child." If it weren't for the fact that I was the only child in our family, this position would not have belonged to me. ”

"No, no, no!" Ye Jingjing hurriedly shook her head. "I think you are very powerful, a woman must endure more difficulties than others to be a protector general, but judging from Song Erfu's words, he respects you very much, it can be seen that you have done a very good job, and naturally I admire it!"

This answer surprised Yuanxin, she looked at Ye Jingjing in a daze, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, and said in a somewhat embarrassed tone, "Flim tongue!" It's just that I want to say something nice! ”

Having said that, the corners of her mouth kept turning up, and it seemed that she hadn't heard such praise in a long time.

"In this way, we heard Yuan Ming crying in the temple, also because she was preoccupied and missed King Dali?" Emperor Qianling asked.

"Yes, and you may not believe it, although Yuan Ming is very young, she is actually the concubine of our previous king. Although she is not the main concubine, this girl is also infatuated, so she often touches the scene and cries in the middle of the night.

"Before fleeing, I made my own decision and hurriedly let the prince succeed to the throne, which didn't break Dali's incense. It's a pity that he has always been frail and sickly, even if he has the crown princess, that is, the later queen to take care of him, he has been in poor health since he came to the calendar, and he died within a few years.

"Later, the queen gave birth to his son, and he became ill because of perennial longing, coupled with the physical weakness caused by childbirth, and since then he has relied on us the only remaining Dali people to take care of the royal family."

At this point, Ye Jingjing suddenly realized, and asked with some surprise, "So, the dog is ......."

"He is the only remaining bloodline of the Dali royal family."

Song Erfu slowly said this shocking sentence in a calm but slightly respectful tone.

The first to react was Siling, who complained angrily, "People are royal blood, do you give him such an ugly name?" ”

Song Erfu couldn't cry or laugh, "We have to hide our identity." In fact, his real name is Duan Mingyue. ”

"How does it sound like a woman's name......" King Dasheng muttered quietly.

She didn't get angry, and patiently explained, "We Dali people worship the moon more than the sun, and the prince has an important mission to restore the country, and we believe that he will guide us forward like a holy moon." ”

"Having said that, but Dali has destroyed the country, and your road to recovery may be difficult." Emperor Qianling interjected.

Song Erfu said lightly, "Actually, we have been collecting news about Erhai in the past few years in hiding." Thanks to the continuous expansion of your territory by the Central Plains, those enemies of the year were killed and wounded, and there were only a few countries left in the entire Erhai Lake.

"The thirteen kingdoms of Nanzhao used to be only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people are left, just waiting for us to go back and regain our prestige, and we will definitely be able to recover Dali.

"Unfortunately, the prince is still young, so we have concealed the truth of the matter, and intend to tell him everything when he is older."

"That's why you're treating him like an ordinary kid while secretly cultivating him?" Ye Jingjing asked. "Dog...... Oh, no, it was the little prince who told us that in addition to studying the books of the Central Plains, he also needs to read another kind of book, and I think that is your Dali thing, right? ”

Yuan Xin and Song Erfu glanced at each other, a little surprised, "He actually told you such an important thing?" ”

Ye Jingjing realized that she had slipped her mouth and stuck out her tongue, "He was also unintentional." ”

"This kid, I told him a thousand times, but he still doesn't remember." Song Erfu smiled bitterly.

"But anyway, we've all already declared ourselves home. Those things are naturally for him to see, otherwise how would he know that he is a Dali person? In your Central Plains words, this is called not forgetting the roots. ”

Emperor Qianling shook his head and said in a serious tone, "It's too cruel for Duan Mingyue like this. He thought he was just an ordinary child, but he never knew that he had such a big responsibility on his shoulders.

"You have taken it upon yourself to deprive him of the right to know the truth, and after a few years, you will have to stuff him with the truth in one go, and he will not be able to bear it."

Song Erfu smiled bitterly, "We really have no choice, and in fact, in terms of my own selfishness, I hope he can have a happy childhood." ”

"Then have you ever thought that if he has been lazy and is used to being suddenly in danger, he will not be able to support the whole Dali."

Emperor Qianling said in a tone of some hatred that iron is not steel, obviously very dissatisfied with their approach.

"Governing the country is not child's play, don't think that with your assistance, he can grow up overnight. Growing up is not about age, but more importantly, psychologically, even if it is to deal with people and things, as an emperor, it takes a long time to learn. ”

Song Erfu and Yuanxin didn't refute, just listened quietly.

Ye Jingjing always felt that Emperor Qianling was a bit overstepping, so she touched him and whispered, "Don't teach others, this is someone's state affairs, and it is inappropriate for us to forcibly interfere." ”

"No, you're right." Song Erfu said. "Actually, we all understand these truths, but I'm also afraid."
