Duan Zhixing never imagined that he would accompany his old boss Zhai Biao on the last journey of his life.

This is not to say that Zhai Biao has no one to send him to the end. On the contrary, the Zhai family is a serious wealthy family in western Beijing, not only is the family very good in Heluo, but the Xiping branch has become a county wang because of the merits of the Qinwang during the Jianyan period, Zhai Biao himself is ranked ninth, and his wife is the granddaughter of the veteran Yang Weizhong, and the children and grandchildren are full.

By the time he dies, his children and grandchildren will be able to squeeze the houses in Tokyo to the point where they can't fit in.

Yes, after Zhai Laojiu went to Yang Yizhong, the king of Jingsai County, he has been serving as the head of the imperial banzhi, because later the emperor abdicated, he was reappointed as the envoy of the Wuning military festival and concurrently served as the commander of the imperial camp, and accompanied the retired Zhao Jiu until he couldn't get out of bed, so he recommended Zhang Xiaoxiang to take over, and then drove the crane west in Shaoxing for seven years, at the age of sixty-seven.

So the question is, why did Duan Zhixing come to see him off, because Emperor Zhao Jiu heard that this old man who had been from him for more than fifty years had entered his death, and he had to take a look himself, but Zhai Biao himself had a breath left on the hospital bed, and he resolutely asked his son to resolutely resign.

In addition, the emperor is over seventy years old, although his body is still tough, but every time he sends away an old minister and tears goodbye to an old minister over the years, he will be sad, and he will be sick even if he takes it, not to mention Xie Niangzi, even Yanjing's Jinshang is also afraid.

And that time, the crown prince and the eldest princess of Shouchun were also in Tokyo. The daughter and grandson joined forces to persuade. Always

Zhao Jiu, who was known as "frivolous", also had to compromise. He is really old, and as the savior of the mythology of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, he can no longer raise his hand to shoot the eagle with a horizontal sword.

And after a lifetime of obedience, Zhai Laojiu couldn't bear to let his body, which had run out of oil, stimulate the emperor.

But with his qualifications and identity, the royal family can't ignore it, so Duan Zhixing, the secretary of Guanglu Temple, who was born in the Red Heart Cavalry and used to be a subordinate of Zhai Biao, was assigned to see if this person had any last words.

Who would have thought that after Zhai Biao, who had been in a coma for a long time, saw him, he would say a word without a beginning or an end,

"You kid, have you learned to clear the mud now?" The Zhai family thought that their father was confused and wanted to apologize to this uncle, but they were rejected by Duan Zhixing with a wave of his hand.

He smiled and said to his old boss: "Brother Zhai Jiu, now I can not only clear the dredging, but also dig ditches, plough the ground and sow seeds. If you accompany the emperor to do farm work, you will definitely not be tired of him, don't worry. Zhai Biao nodded when he heard this, and said with a satisfied smile: "That's good, that's good, Liu Junwang also left a few years ago, and I'm going to leave too, you really have to know." The later boys were even more bad, they couldn't understand what the officials said. "Speak as if you can understand it!

Duan Zhixing complained so in his heart, but looking at the old Zhai Biao, he was uncomfortable for a while, and said: "Yes, Xin Qiqi and Zhang Xiaoxiang are okay to fight, and they are worse than me in farm work." ”

"Didn't you come here like this, I thought at that time, what's wrong with the king and grandson of Dali, the official family is from the prince of the country, don't you ......" Zhai Biao seemed to be suspicious, for a while

"Chief" for a moment

"King Liu Jun", from Ruyang City to the Battle of Wushan, Duan Zhixing has never experienced it, but he has heard the old man of the Red Heart Team say it countless times, so the answer is very smooth.

Who knew that at the last moment, Zhai Biao suddenly came to his senses, and when he asked his son to write a thank you form, he must understand

"My family can be regarded as the rich man of Xiping, Jingkang's change because of the favor of the official family to be able to follow each other for more than 40 years, soaring, building Yan Gong, to participate, you can't read well, but you have to be cautious to guard the family, if you go to troubled times, know that we are Song Chen." The descendants of the Zhai family wept and kowtowed.

Zhai Biao was clear for a while, suddenly looked at Duan Zhixing, and said, "If you stay in the Great Song Dynasty, let's live well, I see that you don't want to go home at that time." This was a strange thing, even Duan Zhixing himself was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and when he wanted to say something, Zhai Biao exhaled and slowly stopped his heartbeat.

The leader of the Praetorian Guard, who was born in a generation of heroes, closed his eyes, and went underground to find Yang Yizhong, Liu Yan and even Xin Wenyu to continue to boast and drink with countless legends that he had witnessed during the Jianyan years.

Duan Zhixing also felt very tired, and after going out, he originally wanted to go directly to the palace to report the funeral, but Zhao Guan's family was old and had irregular sleep, so he went to make up for sleep.

Duan Zhixing had no choice but to listen to the big internal official's go home to take a bath, and then come and ask for a look. Time flies, Xiao Duan Langjun, who used to cry under Zhai Biao's hands, is now over fifty, but along the way, he remembered that when he was in Ningxia in the past, it seemed that Zhai Jiedu had been beaten by King Yang Jun once, but he couldn't think of what was going on, but when he came back from Dali with Yue Yuma, he patted his shoulder and said: "You kid doesn't look like a man when you cry and cry, and you don't embarrass us at a critical time." Dali is chaotic, the official family has always been able to tolerate people, so you can be a Song person with peace of mind. "Yes, from the thirteenth year of Jianyan, he was transferred to the Honglu Temple Diankecheng, and the following year he hired his wife in the prime minister's house, and for decades, he was already a Song person from beginning to end.

I still remember that in the seventeenth year of Jianyan, Dali was divided into four, and the official family sealed four county kings in one go, two surnamed Gao, one surnamed Yang, and the last one surnamed Duan, called Duan Zhengxing, who was Duan Zhixing's father.

For this reason the official asked him,

"Are you willing to go back to Dali's main mansion, if you go back, according to the example of the Mongolian king Toli, the title of the Duan family's county king will be yours sooner or later." Duan Zhixing almost didn't have to think about it, so he replied: "The minister has been in the Great Song Dynasty for many years, and he has taken root, so he doesn't want to go back to the barbarian land for a long time. After a pause, he said gloomily: "Grandmother and Auntun have gone, when the ministers helped Yue Yuma kill Dali, I have long been a generation of rebels in the hearts of others, even if they have to endure me because of His Majesty...... Therefore, going to Dali will not help the official cause. "The great cause that Duan Zhixing said is obviously a certain official

The frontier policy that "came up": changing the land and returning it to the stream. Of course, the Zhao Guanjia has always adapted measures to local conditions, and did not expect that the hundreds of years of family business and national culture of the people in the southwest could be completely sinicized in one or two generations and then become a liuguan, and it was only after the completion of science and technology in later generations.

But since the Jiaozhi State became the Great Song Annan Road, he began to actively deploy, such as directly appointing some officials from Yunnan to establish a mutual market in Jianchang Mansion, and then canonizing his second son as King Mu, and he became a vassal of Yungui.

Then there is the appointment of these descendants of Duan Gao and Gao to engage in literary propaganda

"Since ancient times". Although Duan Zhixing's political level is not so high, he believes in the official family. I am not optimistic about how long Dali, which is already weak, will be independent after being divided into several small states.

You don't see the current Da Luo, Linhuang and even Yinchuan, they are already speaking Han and doing Han etiquette, it really is

"Combing hair has learned the same as Yanjing", and in a few generations, it will be the same as the Central Plains people. Officials have said that cultural aggression is more effective than war.

Not to mention, a few small regimes also went to war with the Great Song Dynasty for hundreds of trades, and the people wore Liaodong mink skins, ate Hedong salt, and watched sumo wrestling from Tokyo.

But Duan Zhixing still went back to Dali once in his lifetime, not for anything else, his father Duan Zhengxing was seriously ill, and the above table asked to see his son before he died, such a request Zhao Guan's family could not but approve, and he could not ignore it, although as soon as he saw the old man, he knew that he had been deceived.

It's not that my father is not sick, but he is not sick enough to do this, and he can throw him with a pillow when he disappears, but because he said not to resist stubbornly.

Duan Zhengxing's eyes were red and he said: "Everyone told me that you don't want an ancestor anymore, but this king never expected that you were already Zhao Song's dog, and the number of books and forgotten sects was all praising you." Duan Zhixing sneered, I am Zhao Song's dog, what are you, but what's the use of fighting with words, just kill with one blow,

"Didn't my father send me to Zhao Song back then? What your grandmother said when she cried, do you remember this filial son? Duan Zhengxing suddenly seemed to be stuck in his neck, and only after a while did he say: "This king, this king is ......" Duan Zhixing didn't give him a chance to quibble at all, and said: "Back then, in this city, Gao Liang assassinated the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, don't tell me that you and your grandfather don't know anything, and you don't tell me, you didn't know at that time that you gave up my life, the father is not kind to the son and the son is not filial, and the ancestor has a light on his face?" Duan Zhengxing collapsed on the bed,

"Could it be that the three-hundred-year foundation of the Duan family is going to be destroyed in my hands, Zhixing, even if you hate me, you always have the surname Duan." Duan Zhixing was speechless,

"What kind of inheritance, I used to be a puppet, but now I am just the ear of the city lord. My father had to pay for something he never got, and I couldn't help it as a son. As for the ancestors, anyway, I already have a son in the Da Song An's family, and the Dali Duan bloodline will not be severed, and I don't care about anything else, the ancestors are to blame, and I can only blame the people who abandoned me. After speaking, he went out without looking back, listened to his father howling in the house, and said to his wife Lu Shi, who was a little cramped: "Let's go, I'll take you to see the Erhai camellia." "Some people just don't get content.

In the twenty-fourth year of Jianyan, Duan Zhengxing, the king of Dali County, died, and his second son Duan Zhining was his heir, but the Great Song Dynasty did not allow it and was demoted to a duke.

In the following 100 years, all the land of the former Nanzhao Kingdom was returned to the country.
