Dali, the light of the early sun shines on the entire palace, a majestic atmosphere stands proudly, the palaces are towering to the ground, scattered and without losing the atmosphere.

In the imperial study, Duan Zhengming sat peacefully on the dragon chair, he listened to Duan Zhengchun's report, his thick eyebrows kept locked, and he replied after a while, "Brother Xian, you don't care about this matter." ”

Duan Zhengchun was even more furious when he heard this, "Big brother, how can you not care." Dali is the country of my Duan family, and as the king of Dali Zhennan, I am also a member of the Duan family, how can I ignore it. This Cai Jing is simply too deceitful, how could the Great Song Dynasty send him to our country, could it be that he has already rebelled?"

Duan Zhengming sighed, "Brother Chun, I am weak in Dali, and I am in a safe corner to develop, so I regard the Great Song Dynasty as the suzerain." On the one hand, it is for self-preservation, and on the other hand, it is also for the development of the country by striving for resources from the Great Song Dynasty. For a hundred years, the two countries have been allies of each other, helping each other and benefiting each other, guarding against the Great Liao, Western Xia, and Tufan, but you also know that there is no real friendship between countries, and only interests are the foundation. ”

"Big brother. How could Duan Zhengchun not understand, it was precisely because of this that he felt dissatisfied. Duan Zhengming stretched out his hand to stop his words, and said, "Interests, it's funny to say, but Dali can only form an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty, why? Because the Liao State is a tiger, the Western Xia, a wolf, a Tufan, and a dog." Only Da Song is a sheep, and he will not make the decision to go back on his word and destroy my Dali. Of course, it's not that Da Song doesn't want to, but that he has too many enemies, so Dali can survive in the cracks. If Dali chooses to take refuge in either side, once the other party grows stronger and destroys the enemy country, Dali will not be spared in the end. In the final analysis, it's because Dali is too small. ”

"Big brother, I know what you said. But big brother, this Dali is still my Duan family's world, why is Cai Jing ......" Duan Zhengchun's face turned red, and he thought of what Cai Jing did was a fire in his belly.

Duan Zhengming shook his head, "Do you want to say that Cai Jing sent an envoy to Dali." We met all the requirements of the Great Song Dynasty, and we wanted to send troops and people to support the border turmoil caused by the Shaolin War of the Great Song Dynasty. But Cai Jing didn't want to be grateful, but had a close relationship with that Gao Shengtai, and had frequent contacts, and now that the dust has settled, he didn't go back to the Great Song Dynasty, but stayed in Gao Shengtai's mansion, right?"

Duan Zhengchun replied with an ugly face. "Isn't it, that Gao Shengtai will definitely be a thief in the future, this Cai Jing is an envoy of the Song Dynasty, but he has a relationship with him, and he doesn't know what he is secretly plotting, big brother, we must be on guard. ”

"Shut up. Duan Zhengming's eyes scanned the study and found that there was no one else, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "What anti-thief is not anti-thief." Don't say that in the future. ”

Duan Zhengchun knew that he was speechless, so he simply stopped speaking, but the anger on his face did not diminish in the slightest. Emperor Duan Zhengming of Baoding thought about it and sighed. "Brother Chun, you don't know that Gao Shengtai is loyal on the surface, but in fact, his heart is like Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it. Everyone knows that he wants to be emperor. But what can you do? Since the palace coup d'état that year, Dali's military power has all been sidelined, if it weren't for Gao Zhisheng's consideration of Dali's Duan reputation and the threat of Tianlong Temple. Their father and son have long been on the throne. ”

Duan Zhengchun was speechless, he suddenly felt powerless, and only listened to Duan Zhengming, "You say that he is a thief, it will be two years, even if he is reversed, he will not be the emperor for a few years, and he has no talent in the Gao family." Remember, as long as the Duan clan is not endless, and the heavenly dragon is not extinguished, Dali is still surnamed Duan. And your responsibility is to protect Hao'er, who is our hope. ”

Duan Zhengchun nodded, "Big brother." I understand. I'm not going to say that it's in the future. Duan Zhengming sighed undeniably, "No defense, but you must remember that you must not be strong." But you can also rest assured, isn't there still Duan Yanqing, I think he won't let Gao Shengtai succeed, after all, let's fight for the surname Duan. ”

Gao Mansion, the main residence of Gao Shengtai, the scenery in the palace is not inferior to the palace at all. Rockeries and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, a good place to recuperate. At this time, Gao Shengtai and Cai Jing were sitting in the hall together, and the two of them drank tea leisurely, and no one spoke.

Gao Shengtai waved away all the servants before he said to Cai Jing, "Lord Cai, I don't know if you are still used to living in the mansion? ”

Cai Jing secretly scolded the old fox, and replied with a smile, "Lord Gao is polite, the little brother is really at home here, and it is unforgettable." He picked up the tea and drank it unhurriedly.

Gao Shengtai also laughed when he heard this, "Good, good, good." It's good that Lord Cai is satisfied. He also scolded in his heart, and the official in his eyes was also a master who didn't see rabbits and didn't scatter eagles. Gao Shengtai clapped his hands seemingly casually, only to see Gao Taiming holding a small box and sending it, and Gao Shengtai pushed it over casually.

Cai Jing took a breath of tea, and saw that the tea leaves were green and a wisp of tea fragrance was elegant. He watched Gao Taiming order Gao Taiming to open the box, and a burst of golden light flashed out, it was a gold ingot.

Cai Jing's expression was clear, he put down the teacup, reached out and pressed the box and pushed it back. "Master Gao, what do you mean by this? Gao Shengtai was slightly angry in his heart, but his face was full of smiles. "It's a small meaning, but it's not a tribute. He pushed the box over again.

Cai Jing didn't push back this time, but asked, "Lord Gao, you know that what I want is not this. Of course, Gao Shengtai understood, his face turned straight, and he said with righteousness and awe, "Go back and tell the Queen Mother, Dali will always support the just side." ”

Cai Jing nodded with satisfaction and said, "Lord Gao is worthy of being a smart person, rest assured, for the sake of Yu'er's face, Cai will do his best to help Lord Gao take a step closer." ”

Gao Shengtai's face twitched, and he laughed, "It is also his blessing that Yu'er can worship Master Cai as a teacher, and I will ask Lord Cai to teach him more in his studies in the future." ”

Cai Jing praised even more understandingly, "Let Sun be talented and intelligent, and he will become a great weapon in the future." There is a successor to the tall man. A flash of anger flashed across Gao Shengtai's face, but it was very hidden. But where can Cai Jing's martial artist intuition be hidden, fortunately, he doesn't care.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Gao Shengtai said, "When Lord Cai returns to Beijing, please don't forget to say hello to the Empress Dowager of the Great Song Dynasty on behalf of Gao." Cai Jing smiled and nodded, "It must be." A cold light flashed in his eyes.

Gao Shengtai sent Cai Jing out of the house, and when he came back, he was so angry that he directly knocked over the teacup on the table, "Vertical, An dares to bully me too much." Gao Taiming stepped forward and said, "Father, do you want to bring someone up to teach him a lesson." Gao Shengtai's backhand was a slap to his son Gao Taiming's eyes were full of gold stars, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, "What to fight, you know how to use force, remember to use your brain next time you speak." ”

Gao Taiming only weakly retreated and didn't dare to speak, but the hatred with his head down became stronger and stronger. Gao Shengtai was immersed in his own affairs, so he naturally wouldn't find out, and he secretly thought in his heart, 'Shaft, you actually threatened me with your child.' Do you think that if you accept Yu'er as a disciple, the old man will not dare to touch you, how can there be any family affection in the road of the king. However, if you want to overthrow the Duan regime, you can't do without the support of the Great Song Xiang clan. Hmph, let's wait and see when the old man becomes emperor. ’

Gao Shengtai came back to his senses and ordered, "Ming'er, give me a letter to Gao Yi and ask him to be careful with Cai Jing." At the same time, the protection of Yu'er will be strengthened, so that Cai Jing will realize the importance of Yu'er. ”

"Yes, father, the boy will do it. Gao Taiming retreated respectfully. Gao Shengtai sat down tiredly, touched his forehead, and the fire of desire in his eyes was blazing. (To be continued......)
