Out of the evil taste of seeing the historical figures in the novel with one's own eyes, Ding Yang did not object to chat with Duan Zhengming.
As soon as Duan Zhengming led into the small box on the third floor, he began to talk about his request in detail.
Of course, first of all, I will definitely be able to give various compliments to Master Ba Miao. Unfortunately, Ding Yang has heard too much now and directly asked Duan Zhengming to say something if he has something to do, so he should not talk about it.
Although Duan Zhengming was a little embarrassed, he still honestly began to explain the political chaos in Dali. He hoped that the Ba Miao Zhenren could help him in view of the clan's brother Duan Zhengchun.
Although he had no idea how the Eight Miao Taoist, who was far away in the capital of the Song Dynasty, would know Duan Zhengchun in Dali, after all, his clan brother had no conspicuous deeds now.
However, Ding Yang did not explain the reason, and he did not dare to continue asking questions, so he had to bury this question in his heart.
Later, after returning to China, he secretly mentioned this matter to the current reign of the emperor Duan Silian. He even looked at Duan Zhengchun quite differently from now on. It is believed that he had some extraordinary skills to be known to the Eight Miao Taoist people?
As for the names like the Six-Meridian Divine Sword and the Sword Baifeng that I accidentally heard of, a detailed investigation began.
Unfortunately, he was not incompetent. After investigating countless people, he never found any clues.
At this moment, Duan Zhengming had many questions in his heart without answers, but he didn't dare to ask anything more, just said: "All this will start from 25 years ago..."
After listening to Duan Zhengming's slow speech, Ding Yang learned for the first time that this Dali Kingdom, which had been seen many times in martial arts novels, actually there were so many inside stories that he didn't know.
The so-called Dali Kingdom, Duan Siping, was originally the governor of Tonghai in the Later Jin Dynasty during the Five Dynasties. During the Five Dynasties, the Central Plains fought endlessly, and five dynasties were replaced one after another in just half a century.
Ten regimes have emerged in other regions, known in history as the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
Duan Siping took advantage of this period of chaos in the Central Plains and had no energy or ability to interfere with local political situations, and joined forces with the large families of the Erhai area, Gao and Dong Jialuo to destroy the Dayi Ningguo, and from then on, he established the capital of Yangzhumei City.
It was officially established in the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty and was officially named Dali in 937 AD.
Seven years later, Duan Siping died, and his son Duan Siying succeeded to the throne and changed his reign. As a result, just two years later, Duan Siping's younger brother Duan Siliang launched a coup for UN Prime Minister Dong Jialuo, forcing Duan Siying to abdicate and become a monk.
After that, Duan Siping's younger brother Duan Siliang became emperor, and the throne of the Dali Kingdom also changed from Duan Siping's lineage to Duan Siliang's lineage.
Ding Yang didn't say anything after hearing this, but he felt that the similarity of history was really strong. The throne inheritance of the Dali Kingdom was almost the same as that of the Song Dynasty. His younger brother Zhao Guangyi inherited the throne of the founding emperor Zhao Kuangyin, and from then on the throne inheritance was transferred to the Taizong line.
Just when he thought this was the ending of Dali, he heard the subsequent changes.
25 years ago, Emperor Shang of Dali, Duan Suxing, was very happy and futile. As a result, he was the prime minister Gao Zhisheng launched a coup and deposed the throne, and then supported Duan Silian to succeed the throne.
This Duan Silian was the great-grandson of Duan Siping, the founding emperor of Dali, which brought the Dali throne back to the Duan Siping lineage.
Ding Yang was stunned for the first time when he heard these news. It seemed that ten thousand alpacas ran past him in his heart: Isn’t this becoming more and more similar to the situation in the Song Dynasty?
After the Jingkang shame, Zhao Gou succeeded to the throne and became the emperor. Zhao Gou had no son, so he finally found an adopted son from the Taizu family and inherited the throne. So the throne of the Song Dynasty was transferred from the Taizong lineage to the Taizu family.
However, why does the coup in Dali seem to be all related to the Prime Minister?
Duan Zhengming saw that Ding Yang seemed to be thinking a little, and did not dare to disturb him, so he could only pause and wait.
Ding Yang was listening interestingly, but found that Emperor Baoding stopped talking, so he asked him to continue. It would be a pity if he didn't listen to such an interesting history! After all, there are no such anecdotes in Master Jin's martial arts novels, so I finally heard it fresh.
Speaking of this, we basically turned to the topic. Since Gao Zhisheng supported Duan Silian as the throne 25 years ago, the Gao family's family's power has become increasingly powerful.
Originally, the Gao clan was very powerful. After gaining the support, it surpassed many other major families in one fell swoop and was vaguely led. Even the Duan clan, the royal family was already at a disadvantage.
But six years ago, Yang Yunxian, the leader of the Yang family, another powerful family in Dali, launched a military coup and quickly captured the direct territories of many royal Duan families.
As a result, it was difficult for the Duan clan of the royal family to quell the rebellion, so they had to ask the Gao family to send troops.
So Gao Shengtai attacked again and wiped out Yang Yunxian's rebellion in one fell swoop, and of course he took advantage of the situation to take over many territories that the Yang family stolen from Duan's hands.
Duan Silian had no choice but to pronounce Gao to Marquis of Shanchan, and then set out Baiya and Rudian from the occupied directly under territory to give it to the Gao family. Therefore, the Gao family was strong and almost in power.
On the contrary, the direct strength of the Duan clan of the royal family has been greatly weakened, and it is almost difficult to control the political situation across the country.
Nowadays, in many things, we must look at the expression of the Gao family to take action. So many knowledgeable people in Duan Silian and Duan family began to worry. What if the Gao family raised the flag of the opposite party?
With the current strength of the Duan clan, the Duan clan is unable to compete with the other party. If the Gao clan really raises troops to rebel, the throne of the Dali Kingdom will probably soon die out of the Duan clan.
This is a situation that the Duan clan cannot accept anyway. Therefore, if you want to obtain help from external forces, you can try your best to maintain domestic stability. It is best to greatly weaken the power of the Gao clan, and if you are a little short of it, you can at least have the ability to check and balance the other party.
Otherwise, the future political situation in China will almost inevitably lead to a conflict between Gao and Duan, and Duan has no hope of winning at all.
Finally, Duan Zhengming expressed his expectations in a tactful manner, hoping that Ba Miao Zhenren could take the time to visit the royal family in Dali.
If Ding Yang is willing to stay in Dali to support the royal family, Duan will spare no effort to meet any of his requests: "... By then, the Duan clan will regard the real person as a relative. For thousands of years, but if you have a life, you will never refuse to die!"
However, Ding Yang did not make a statement in time, but just smiled and gave Duan Zhengming a gift to wait for the news.
Ding Yang, who did not know the history of Dali Kingdom, had no idea at all. It was because Duan Silian's sense of crisis in the throne that he actively contacted other forces to balance the influence of the Gao clan, and he was forced to abdicate two years later.
Gao Zhisheng was able to get him to power in 25, but now he can naturally get him to step down. He soon supported his son Duan Lianyi as the throne, continuing the power of the Gao clan.
Ding Yang actually didn't have much interest in interfering with the political situation of the Dali Kingdom. After all, after talking to his best friend last time, he also developed a brand new plan, but he had not had time to refine it in full.
But no matter what, he was ready to re-establish the unified Central Plains dynasty, and it was impossible for him to let the local regimes exist. No matter it was the Liao Kingdom in the north, the Xixia Kingdom in the northwest, or even the Dayue in the Jiaozhi and Dali in the southwest, they were left without any reservation.
But after all, I still have some strange emotions about the Duan family in Dali, and I want to see it with my own eyes.
As a result, before he could think about it, he met the Western Xia envoy Ye Lirenhui.
Speaking of the film Nori, the film was an important force during the founding of the Western Xia Dynasty, and it played a key role in the Yuanhao period. Both civil and military achievements have been very outstanding.
However, the result of the great achievements shocked the master was that Yuan Hao began to gradually weaken the power of the Yeli clan. Not only did he kill Yeli clan's clan's clan, Yeli Yuqi, but he also took his wife, Wu Zang as his lover.
The Yeli clan gradually declined, and until now he could only rely on the branch of Empress Dowager Liang and struggled to survive.
The previous year, Emperor Yi Zong Liangzuo of Western Xia died of illness at the age of 21. After that, his 7-year-old son Bingchang succeeded to the throne and became the third emperor of Western Xia, and later called Huizong.
Therefore, Empress Dowager Liang took great power and took office as the Empress Dowager, and began to directly interfere in the government affairs.
But after all, Xixia was a country established by the Dangxiang people. Empress Dowager Liang's identity as a Han Chinese has never received the sincere support of many Dangxiang nobles. Openly and secretly, many people opposed her rule.
Although Empress Dowager Liang also made some efforts, including ordering the dethronement of the Han rituals promoted by her husband Emperor Yizong and restoring the old customs of Dangxiang, it further caused more trouble and the government and the country were split.
Originally, Empress Dowager Liang could solve this problem as long as she gave up her power position. But she had a very strong desire for power. Since she designed to become the queen, she could no longer stop.
As soon as the eldest son of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty was born, he specially sent envoys to congratulate him and wanted to return to Suizhou City.
In fact, the reason why Weimingshan in Suizhou City surrendered to the Song Dynasty was not just because of dissatisfaction with Emperor Yizong's continuous sinicization policy. However, the fall of Suizhou City posed a major strategic blow to the Western Xia - the entire eastern territory faced a military threat from the Song Dynasty.
Since this kind of military city has finally returned to the hands of the Song Dynasty, it will definitely not be handed over again.
The Xixia and the Song Dynasty had made many negotiations in order to obtain Suizhou, but all of them returned in vain.
So this time, Empress Dowager Liang simply gave the order to die. If Ye Li Renyu cannot complete the negotiation task, then there is no doubt that the fate of going back to China will definitely be very miserable.
Ye Li Renyu had no choice but to persuade the Song Dynasty's monarch and ministers to agree, so he had to come and beg the Ba Miao Zhenren to come forward.
Whether it is helping to convince the monarch and ministers of the Song Dynasty or going to Xixia to protect the authority of Empress Dowager Liang, he can guarantee that he will not be punished after returning to Xingqing Prefecture.
Of course, as long as Ding Yang agrees to the request to visit Xixia, then any conditions can be negotiated.
Nori Renyu was also willing to sacrifice his life. He had no qualifications to make a promise at all. Being able to give such conditions is to put it to death before he could live.
He believed that as long as he could invite back to support Empress Dowager Liang's authority, he would be able to easily intimidate domestic opposition forces.
However, after Ding Yang heard his wonderful request, he simply didn't know what to say.
After all, to be honest, his hometown in later generations is currently located in Xixia. The school he studied in is even located in Xingqing Prefecture, the capital of Xixia.
I am really interested in going to see what the situation was in my hometown in the Song Dynasty!
However, it is impossible to make him agree to Yerito's request easily.
