Shao Song - Vol 2.3 Chapter 38

In the eighteenth year of Jianyan, in the early spring, Hebei had not yet relieved the cold, and the Wuliang Mountain in Dali was already in full bloom.

In the depths of Baihua, there is a waterfall in the mountains. The waterfall sprays pearls and spit out jade. The waterfall is majestic. It is named Yangshan Waterfall because the shale sheep often cross over the rock behind the waterfall in groups. Below the waterfall, a deep lake is naturally formed with clear water and fish can be seen. On the shore of the deep lake, there was another huge boulder standing upright.

The stone is extremely tall and large enough for dozens of people to climb the stone to view the waterfall. Besides, it is flat on three sides and looks exceptionally neat, especially the side facing the lake. It is smooth and flat like a jade wall, almost like a mirror. The reflection of each other on the surface of the lake makes it amazing to see.

Wang Shixiong, the direct deputy commander of the Imperial Front of the Great Song Dynasty, stood under the stone, stunned for a long time, unable to speak.

After a long while, Wu Yi, the envoy of the Song Dynasty to Dali, coughed dryly, which made Wang Shixiong come back to his senses, and then turned back awkwardly:

“Forgive me, but I can’t lose my attitude… The emperor’s decree said that there is a huge rock under the Wuliangshan waterfall, and the special emperor is called Wuliangyubi… thousands of miles apart, it is actually not bad. It can be seen that the emperor of the emperor has given it to God.”

With that said, he opened the imperial decree in his hand and read it in a hurry. The many children of the Gao clan in Dali who accompanied him, from the contemporary Patriarch of the Dali title, Dali Buxie (ruling) and below, had no time to think about it and worshipped them respectfully.

And the imperial edict is just a few words, it is indeed the emperor to bestow the immeasurable jade bi, and many Gao’s children below Gao Liangcheng get up, they can not help but feel a little panic-this Wuliangshan is between the capital of Dali and the core fief of Gao’s Weichu. There are temples and tea gardens. It’s fair to say, but it’s nonsense to say that it is a prominent place. The emperor of the Central Plains can know a stone in a mountain in his feudal land after thousands of miles away. It is really surprising.

Of course, there are also some old Gao’s children who laughed privately and bitterly by the sound of the waterfall at that time: “This is the edict of the Emperor of Song Dynasty. It is natural to see this stone for thousands of miles, but if it is not, we would be embarrassed to refute others. Tianzi’s face? I’m afraid I have to help find a piece.”

In this regard, some people disagree: “What’s this? The Beijia is eager to win the heart, and in order to fight for power to attract the Song Dynasty to the game, there are internal responses, not to mention a stone, what can be hidden from the emperor in the country? It is just deliberate intimidation of us. .”

When these words were spoken, the people around were angry, sneered, or sighed constantly, and others stared at him fiercely, but after all, no one talked about anything else.

In this way, I turned around the jade bi and came to a temple in the mountain. The venue table has already been spread out here, and there are fragrant teas and fruits… Sword Palace certainly does not have it, but Dali worships Buddha, and there is no shortage of mountains. Temples, the capital city of Dali was on fire before, and half of the temples were burned, and Wuliang Mountain was naturally a lot. As for the fragrant tea, since the Zhao Song officials started the border trade more than ten years ago, the tea in Dali has already become a part of the copper mine. The most important export goods, not to mention the daily tea bricks in Shudi and Lianghu, the best fragrant tea can be directly transmitted to the central capital Bianjing and the capital Yanjing, competing with the famous tea in the southeast.

Don’t gossip, here, everyone once again greeted politely, and then, Gao Liangcheng was the first Duke and Wang Shixiong, followed by Wu Yizuo, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty to Dali and the uncle of the Great Song Dynasty. First on the left, as for the first on the right, Gao Liangcheng’s cousin Gao Zhenshou was the head of Gao’s Beizong based on the Commanding Mansion in the north of Dali.

As for Gao Zhenshou, it was the host of this temple who sat down without embarrassment, but specially separated the head of Gao’s Northern Sect from the local Gao’s Southern Sect… and the rest of the children of Beizong who came here with Gao Zhenshou. , But more often sit on Wu Yi’s side.

There are two cases in the north and the south, which are distinct.

“Gao Gong.”

After seated, Wang Shixiong scanned the wonder in the hall first, then glanced at Gao Liangcheng, and spoke directly before he had time to drink tea. “Although the lower officials came by decree, they only came to listen to the words from both sides of the respected family. The specific result depends on the official family’s decision… Therefore, if you have words, you can just let it go and ignore it.”

Gao Liangcheng also put down his tea and smiled bitterly for a while: “As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized, but today Gao’s family ugliness has to be known to the world, Gao is as embarrassed…”

“My uncle wants face, but my nephew didn’t have to think about this.” Before the leader of the Dali Buxie (ruling) finished speaking, the North Sect Sect Master Gao Zhenshou interrupted the opponent and said coldly. “The king ruled, this time our Bei Sect was the bitter lord and told the emperor. My uncle didn’t want to say it, so let me say… This matter is extremely simple to say, and that is my Gao Clan North Sect. This matter is known to all the people of the Gao clan… Therefore, the Gao clan’s dukedom, Dali state cloth xie’s position, and the power of the Shanchan government are all supposed to be held by my Gao clan’s grandson! That’s it!”

As soon as Gao Liangcheng hadn’t said anything, the Nanzong children below suddenly rose up, and some people stood up and scolded them. Then the Beizong children, unwilling to show weakness, got up and yelled. Into a pot of porridge.

The monks in the room were all bowed their heads, and the first four, namely the Gao family nephew and Wang Wu, were all speechless for a while.

After a while, she still lowered her voice and said, “Two angels, can you let me talk to my nephew Zhenshou in private, and then explain to the angels?”

“If your uncle and nephew volunteered, it’s okay.” Wang Shixiong glanced at Gao Zhenshou who was on the opposite side, arched his hands in a straight face. “But please Gao Gongming. This time your uncle and nephew met in Wuliang Mountain, it was appointed by the official family. Please also Gao Gongming to be courteous, otherwise…”

“Where did King Commander want to go?” Gao Liangcheng immediately smiled bitterly. “This is my nephew after all.”

Gao Zhenshou on the other side looked at the chaos in the hall, and nodded calmly: “The two angels don’t worry, since my uncle wants to put his heart in his stomach, of course I can’t be stingy as a nephew… Besides, this time I have the heart to be honest with my uncle. ”

“I know, I know.” Wang Shixiong stood up, still open. “It’s just the duty. No matter how ugly it is, I have to say something, otherwise, what will the officials do with me? You guys, let’s go to Yubi. The waterfall is loud and you can say anything you want. I’m not afraid of anyone eavesdropping.”

At this point, Wu Yi stood up, and the four of them bowed their hands and left the chaos in the hall. Under the leadership of the monk, they turned back to the waterfall. Only this time, Gao’s uncle and nephew stayed at the Yubi under the waterfall. At the same time, Wang Shixiong and Wu Yi simply climbed to the top of the Yangshan Waterfall together… These two are also old friends.

The only thing is that the official business is here, because I want to talk about personal relationships, and I always can’t turn it around.

“Brother Dewei (Wang Shixiong) doesn’t know the situation of Dali?” Wu Yi was surprised.

“It’s not that I don’t know it, but it’s too messy. It’s really unclear.” Wang Shixiong was honest. “But let’s not hide it from you. The officials and Xifu didn’t let me be here for punishment. They wanted me to pick up Joe as a deputy to the imperial squad. Bu Xie, the official is watching him, and the official has 200,000 imperial armor in his hand.”

Wu Yi nodded, but from the edge of the cliff, he looked at Gao’s uncle and nephew with his hand down, and continued to ask: “If this is the case, with so many characters in the Imperial Front, how did Brother Dulwich get this job?”

“I can get this dispatch. One is on you, and everyone knows that you and I have old friends; the other is that I was born under the command of King Qin, so King Wei, the head of the West Palace, is not easy to refute…” Wang Shixiong laughed dryly. “We also stand side by side with water and wood in the court, Qin and Wei intersect, and we divide the area into four parts.”

Wu Yi nodded again and again, and finally did not start on this issue, but directly talked about Dali: “Actually, although the affairs of Dali are complicated, it is only the two words of civil disorder…”

“Speak slowly.” Wang Shixiong also immediately became serious.

“First, the Nanzhao kingdom was destroyed, and the heroes came together. Although the Duan clan defeated the Yang clan, they planted two innate curses. One local tribe ruled separately. Dali has always been unable to bridge the white and black barbarians from the east to the 37th. Bu Heiman consciously suffers from wrongs and prejudice, but whenever he finds an opportunity, he always rebels…

“The second is that the Duan family came from a humble background, similar to the Yang family, the Gao family, the Meng family, and the Dong family. They were all powerful localities and tribal heads of Hanization, and they were all former officials on the borders of Nanzhao and Datang. Ministers, serve the people in the same place. Moreover, it is the process of starting a business and relying on the joint efforts of all the ministries. Therefore, once gaining power and being the leader of the people, it can’t hold back that everyone has no fear in their hearts…”

“These are two roots, and then there is civil strife… When Duan Siping, the founder of the country, died, his brother, the Dong clan of the United Nations, usurped the seat of a nephew…”

“This…” Wang Shixiong, who listened carefully, couldn’t help but uttered aloud.

“I know what my brother is thinking, but it’s really not the same thing.” Wu Yi was right. “Tai Zong inherited Taizu. Although there are rumors, he did not send troops to fight, and there was nothing to abolish the establishment… After the father and son inherited, the Duan family was taken over by the Dong family in the joint ruling power of the uncle, and also Leading the wolf into the house, the Dong family has been in power from then on.”

Wang Shixiong nodded repeatedly, but motioned for the other party to continue.

“The first civil turmoil was caused by uncles and nephews, and the second was the decline of the Dong family, and the Gao family gradually rose… About a hundred years ago, the Gao family abolished the then lord of Dali, and reopened the family of Siping, the founder of the country. People helped him up, but after the Gao family got up, he also became a powerful minister, and was more authoritarian than the Dong family. You have also seen…

“The third civil strife was when the Gao clan gradually became uncontrollable, and finally abolished the Duan clan and became king… However, before the death of the country lord, Gao Shengtai specifically asked his son to return the throne… which was about fifty. Things happened years ago.

“In the fourth civil strife, it was the Gao family’s turn… The Duan family was in constant chaos, weak and weak. Gao’s name was Buxie (ruling), and he was actually the lord of the country. In order to ensure authority, the Gao family also had brothers and brothers and not fathers and sons. After a long time, there were also inner sectarian disputes. Now, Duan Heyu, the leader of the Duan family, is a caring person. About a few decades ago, Taking advantage of the good opportunity of Gao’s inheritance, he took the initiative to distribute the Weichu Mansion and the Command Mansion in the north and south of Dali to Gao Taiming’s son. It has been twenty or thirty years, but Gao Zhenshou of Beizong is the elder of the Gao family…”

“So there is this time now?” Wang Shixiong finally understood. “Brother Gao Zhenshou is getting older, and his wings are getting richer. On the one hand, the commander’s office is relying on trading with us, and the strength is growing day by day. On the other hand, his brother Gao Zhenming has studied too much in Zhongzhong. To the official family to regain the position of Buxie?”

“Yes or not.”

“how to say?”

“The key and the core is of course the rebellion between the Gao family and the North. Who makes the Gao family the real power in Dali?”

Wu Yi looked far down at the pair of uncles and nephews. “But the current civil turmoil is actually not just the North and South incidents of the Gao family, but also Duan Heyu’s reign for decades. He has worked hard to govern and is a proper emperor. As a result, natural and man-made disasters, internal and external troubles, have not been able to revitalize Dali, and have always been Can’t shake the authority of the Gao family, so that it gradually loses its spirit… Now it is not only the Gao family’s internal strife, but also Duan Heyu is discouraged because of the death of the Defei Wang family. The Duan clan’s civil strife held hostage by various sects, and Dali defeated the Vietnamese Li Dynasty a few years ago, the country was hollowed out, and the black and white man looked at the recurring chaos…this is the total outbreak of civil strife!”

Wang Shixiong nodded, thoughtfully: “No wonder Xifu said it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity…”

“Not once in a lifetime.” Wu Yi shook his head repeatedly. “I spent three years in Honghe Temple, then went to Japan once, then mediated disputes between Dali and Vietnam, and finally stayed in Dali for three years. After thinking about it over and over again, I only figured out one thing…that is the world, I want to be safe and secure. It’s the hardest thing to live a stable life. It’s the most difficult thing to live a stable and prosperous life. The so-called small country is full of chaos and becomes increasingly depressed. It is the norm to live a mouthful… You are used to living a peaceful life in the country. What do you think it is once in a lifetime! In fact, the situation of our junior high school in these seven or eight years is truly once in a lifetime!”

“All the holy emperors are in the dynasty.” Wang Shixiong hurriedly responded.

Wu Yi still shook his head, but he didn’t want to say more… It’s not that there is not enough friendship, it’s not that Wang Shixiong’s take-home birth is not disliked, and it is not that he wants to deny the other party’s words. It is impossible to feel this from the bottom of your heart when you come into contact with the conditions of these small countries.

Just when the two kings of Wu were condescending to talk some gossip, the uncle and nephew of the Gao family below had no choice but to enter some key words related to the prosperity and decline of the country and the survival of the family.

“Zhenshou, I heard the people of Song say that the centipede worms die but not stiff. Although we have some improper things for hundreds of years, we have deep roots and luxuriant branches. If we want to get corrupted, we have to be in the family. Suicide is self-defeating, and it can be defeated… Now that you are fighting for a sigh of relief, you actually brought the Zhao Song official into the game. Wouldn’t it be bad for my Gao family?” Gao Liang was set up on the side of Yubi, with a helpless face.

“Why is my uncle so grandiose?” Gao Zhenshou sneered. “The overall situation of the Gao family has long been corrupted and cleaned by you… You did the first day of the first year. Can your nephew not do the fifteenth? Besides, without the Zhao Song official family, the two of us would not fight? Can you keep Buxie’s position? ”

“Even if you can’t keep Buxie’s position, you can’t live in peace.” Gao Liangcheng finally gave a cold face.

“That’s why I brought in Zhao Guan’s house.” Gao Zhenshou was not afraid. “High amount of success! Say one thousand things and ten thousand, our Beizong is the direct lineage, and I am the eldest grandson of the first Chinese father! The other branches also recognize me! Now I am mature and mature, you should have been Give up and let the virtuous!”

“What if I don’t?” Gao Liangcheng also launched a ruthless voice. “I have led Nanzong to manage the prestige Chu for decades. Unless a large army is sent to get it, who can move my foundation? Although the Song Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of elites in battles, but the water and soil are uncomfortable and the road is difficult, it may not be able to set me off!”

“Then I won’t lift it off.” Gao Zhenshou was still calm. “Duan and Yu’s sons seized the sons, and the country was in chaos. I opened the road from the north and led the five thousand Zhao Song Tiejia into the capital. I abolished my own establishment and appointed myself as a cloth… You want to be your county cloth in Weichu. I’m going to be a good one, what’s up with me? It’s the self-appointed Buddha of Wuliangshan, who said that the official family of Yanjing is not happy to seal a stone. What about my uncle who is in charge of a county?”

Gao Liangcheng was dumbfounded, and immediately argued: “I still have Shan Chan Mansion (Kunming).”

“Shan Chan Mansion is rare in the plains, and the east is full of black men who refuse to accept the Duan family and our Gao family… As long as I open the road and lead the Song army in, you can guard the Shan Chan Mansion? You don’t know that the Yang family of the black man is always there. Is it a matter of acknowledging relatives with the north and begging to be named duke?” Gao Zhenshou sneered more and more.

“Zhenshou, you are leading the wolf into the room.” Gao Liangcheng lowered his voice and spoke. “Da Song has come in, and the Yang family and Heiman are up again. What good is it for the Gao family? It’s just the loss of the Shanchen Mansion in vain… Moreover, over time, sooner or later Zhao Song will annex the Duan family, and the position of Buxie is also white. suffer.”

“In that case, why don’t my uncle hand over the position of Shanchen Mansion and Buxie to my nephew?” Gao Zhenshou only found it ridiculous. “In this way, I will naturally not lead wolves into the room again.”

Gao Liangcheng can only sneer.

Seeing the other person’s posture, Gao Zhenshou also appeared bachelor:

“Uncle! The current situation is that you have the prestige of Chu, but in any case, in the future, at best, you can only keep the land of the prestige of Chu! And I originally only had the Commanding Mansion, no matter how it was, no less… I Why not fight?”

“Of the same clan…” Gao Liang became helpless and tried his best to be a bitter mind.

“The same clan! The same clan! Did you even lead the wolf into the house? It seems that Wei Chu and Shan Chan have a share of our Bei Zong in the past few decades!” Gao Zhenshou became more impatient. “Your Southern Sect is a bit worse than the wolf in the north. They can at least trade fairly and treat each other with courtesy. They can also get my second brother to get a jinshi all the way to Zhizhou, while your Southern Sect has dozens of In the coming years, we only regard our Northern Sect as thieves and generally guard against… the two cases in the north and the south are no longer one family! And this is all the result of your liking for the power of the house because of your partiality!”

“We can’t just talk about the self-interests of the family, but also state public affairs.” Gao Liangcheng tried to make his last effort. “How about Dali’s national situation if you do this?”

“Almost it!” Gao Zhenshou was completely bored. “It’s as if we didn’t allow you to do big things with Duan Heyu… In the Jiaozhi civil strife, you supported Weng Shenli, weapons, money, and food were smashed through like running water, and the treasury was emptied. Have we become the Beizong? Have you been holding back? The accumulation of trading tea and copper with the north for so many years has been hollowed out by your thinking!”

Gao Liangzhang sighed, and sat down with the newly sealed Boundless Jade Bi, ignoring that the water splashed on his body.

“Uncle, there are some things we can only say here.”

Seeing this situation, Gao Zhenshou also became faint. “Why do you want to support Weng Shenli regardless of the century-old diplomatic relations between Dali and Jiaozhi, do you really think I don’t understand? Isn’t it the power of the Northern Expedition of Zhao Song and the decisive battle of Song Jin that shocked you? , Da Song was reborn from the ashes, he had some cares in his heart…”

“Yes.” Gao Liangcheng looked tired. “Everyone has risen in chaotic times at the end of the Tang Dynasty. After one or two hundred years, one is counted as one, and all generations are not as good as one generation. One by one, the inner pockets are poured out. There is also a tendency to dominate the eight wastes, and each family naturally has to survive separately. In Xiliao, it is a new stove and a new path, but we are a situation where the centipede dies and does not freeze. Therefore, I discussed this strategy with Duan Heyu. , Thinking about self-improvement by swallowing the ground, strengthening the depth, and diverting the water to the west, messing up the Jiaozhi, making a sacrifice, and changing one’s own Antai for decades. But…”

“Speaking of the roots, isn’t it already defeated?” Gao Zhenshou said. “After four or five years of fighting, the treasury was emptied, the people’s power was exhausted, and the black man was about to rebel again, but he was still defeated. However, after the Northern Expedition of Song Dynasty, he went to repair Dahe for seven or eight years, and now his national power is full. I just pretended to have just freed my hand and looked around. It was our turn to fall into the eyes of Dali…So, uncle, don’t pretend, I don’t believe you are not prepared.”

“I have naturally considered it.” Gao Liangcheng said, covering his face. “Furthermore, I have previously revealed to that Uncle Wu in private that the official Zhao of Yanjing might also know… Zhenshou, if Beizong really wants to fight to the end, I will dedicate Dali!”

This time it was Gao Zhenshou’s turn to be stunned and stunned on the spot.

“Why are you so shocked?” Gao Liangcheng asked calmly. “Anyway, if you fight for it, I will retain the Weichu Prefecture at most. Dali Buxie can’t do it, and I have to give you the title of duke…Why not take the initiative to discuss with the Zhao official family and be a serious Weichu county king? The Zhao official’s family also hinted that if things are done properly, they will seal Jingji Mansion and Xiushan County to me, and allow my second child to leave Guangxi as an imperial commander. There are two bad things in the North and the South.”

“The Zhao official’s family may have me.” Gao Zhenshou hesitated for a moment, still speaking reluctantly. “He and Zhenming had spoken face-to-face, saying that if one day, Dali would not be there, and Yunnan Road would be established in the Song Dynasty, and only Shanchan and Jianchang would be directly under the jurisdiction. The mansion was given to one of his sons, and everyone regarded this Prince Zhao as the co-lord… As for our Beizong, in addition to the commanding mansion, we can also obtain the two counties of Shanju and Tengchong, and then become a hereditary king …The second child naturally wants to stay in the Song Dynasty, and when he is an official, he will have a lot of rewards and will not compete with my son for a position.”

Both my uncle and nephew looked at each other, and both felt a little dry.

After a while, Gao Liangcheng continued to calculate in a low voice: “If you look at it like this… The Duan family can also keep Dali’s main residence and Yongchang’s residence. It is said that the building is also the Duan family, and it is still a hereditary king… As for the east, etc. Wuman must be independent of Xu’s tribes, and big tribes like the Yang family can also get a county and become a decent county king.”

“If it’s like this…why can’t you do it?” Gao Zhenshou thought for a while, and slammed a foot beside Yubi. “Every family can’t miss anything…”

“It’s not that it can’t be done.” Gao Liangcheng sighed. “It’s the Gao family’s over a hundred years of dominance, and the Duan family’s over one hundred years of foundation…

“But in the current situation, Gao’s dominance and Duan’s inheritance can really continue?” Gao Zhenshou looked at the two above the waterfall, shaking his head, and waving his hand comfortably. “This is Yangmou. UU Reading www.uukānshu.com”

“Yes, this is a shame.”

Gao Liangcheng stood up, grabbed the hand of his nephew, and responded earnestly. “That official just spotted the emptiness inside Dali now, but it is still divided into four… The Duan clan, the Gao clan in the north and the south, and the Wuman in the east. Take down the Shan Chan Mansion out of thin air and set up a road. Wuman will not say it. It is really blood feud, but if we can unite with the Gao family, the north and the south, and the Duan family, the official will never go on an expedition. A mere Shan Chan Mansion came to throw away the elite, money and food… the ancestor’s foundation can continue!”

Gao Zhenshou looked back at his uncle and was silent for a long time before he said: “If this is the case, I will no longer have the seat of Buxie, and I will no longer have the jurisdiction of Shanchen Mansion, but the Chinese duke’s title, Shanchen Mansion suppresses the black barbarians. Can the military power be given to me? I also have to go back and get things to convince Zhenming… He already considers himself a Song dynasty now.”

Gao Liangcheng hesitated for several times, but thinking of his sons, he couldn’t answer after all.

Gao Zhenshou sighed, and finally slowly withdrew his hand: “In that case, we might as well speak with Zhao Guanjia separately.”

“Yes, not bad!” Gao Liangcheng smiled bitterly, but couldn’t help but remember the sentence: “Hundred-legged insects die but are not stiff. It is divided into two, and it is not bad to keep the foundation.”

One month later, Zhao Guan’s family received a secret note in Yanjing, and when he opened it, there was only one sentence:

“Wuliangshan talks about the sword, Wang Shixiong borrowed his majesty’s prestige to defeat the soldiers without fighting, Dali Duan has nothing to do.”
