In November, Chang'an is decorated with lights and joy.

Princess Yongkang Shao Xian surrendered to the Imperial Army General, the Tianxiong Army envoy, the son of Zang Dubao, and the Western Army Chief of the Weapons.

Princess Yongkang was born in October of the fifth year of Dashun (894). She is nineteen years old this year. Her biological mother is Pei Zhenyi.

Wuzang Dubao started his career as a vassal tribe, Mao's surname Wuzang, and made many military achievements. His entire life experience was inspirational. After his rise, Wuzang's family was a little divided, and many people turned to him. Although he could not compete with Wuzang Jieming, he had already formed a force and his appeal should not be underestimated.

Anyone with vision can see that Wuzang Dubao is actually more holy scroll than Wuzang Jieming. The saints have been vigorously cultivating him, such as handing over the war to destroy the eight Khitan tribes under his command, so that he can make the contribution to destroying the country.

The reason is unknown.

On the seventh day of November, there were endless officials coming to see off the Duting Post on the west side of Zhuque Street in Chang'an.

Dachang and Guobu Xie (Qingping official, prime minister) Duan Yizong and his group packed their luggage, left the post station, and prepared to return home.

The Xia people did not ask for their gifts and asked them to take them away. Duan Yizong had no choice but to sell them to the west market in Chang'an - mainly cotton cloth.

"The woven in Nanzhao is particularly exquisite. The white one is the morning glow. The king wears white mattresses, and the king's wife wears morning glow."

Dié refers to fine wool cloth or fine cotton cloth. White wool gems means white fine cotton cloth, and Jibei is the name of cotton in the Tang Dynasty.

It can be called a guide, and generally it has reached a very high level of textile technology. The textile level in the Western Regions and Nanzhao is still very high. The batch of goods brought by Duan Yizong were sold at a very good price.

It was already winter, and after leaving the door, the cold wind blew, and Duan Yizong's bare head was a little cold. So he asked his followers to take a monk's hat and put it on, but he was chilling.

Of course, monks cannot be prime ministers. Duan Yizong is not a serious monk. In fact, he was temporarily ordained before entering the Xia realm, because he was unwilling to worship the Emperor of the Central Plains.

Unfortunately, after more than three months of entering Chang'an, I could not see the saint of Daxia, so I could only return in a bad mood.

"I entered the Central Plains twice and found nothing, but what can I do?" Duan Yizong sighed on the street.

Yes, this is his second time to go to Central Plains. Last time he went to Chengdu, Zheng Renmin, the son of the king Zheng Maisi, asked Li Maozhen's daughter to marry, but returned without success.

This time they had a bigger appetite and directly asked to marry Princess Daxia, which naturally felt disappointed again.

To be honest, Duan Yizong felt it was embarrassing and didn't want to do this job.

The lord of a country seemed to be unable to find a bride and asked for marriage everywhere. What was it like? The most outrageous thing was that he sent the prime minister to propose marriage for the lord. As a Confucian scholar who was familiar with ancient and modern times and was familiar with the principles of articles, Duan Yizong was forced to cut off his hair and become a monk, which was even more embarrassing.

In history, Zheng Renmin attacked Qian Shu, but was defeated by Wang Jian, and was killed tens of thousands of soldiers. In order to save the situation, Duan Yizong went to Chengdu as an envoy to marry the princess of Qian Shu as his wife, and was left in Shu. He lived for several years and said goodbye and left, the Later Lord of Qian Shu was worried about his understanding of the inside story in Shu, providing information for the Dachanghe Kingdom, and poisoning him to kill him.

Of course, Jung Inmin's marriage proposal journey has not ended.

After Duan Yizong was killed, he sent his younger brother Zheng Zhaochun to the Southern Han Dynasty to propose to marry the princess.

Zhaochun was fond of learning and writing, and traveled to banquets and wrote poems. The ministers of the Southern Han Dynasty could not even write about him (how good is this...), so he successfully proposed to Liu Yin's daughter, Princess Zengcheng, married in Yunnan.

Finally married a princess, I was satisfied!

"Bu Xie, I'm afraid there is no need to do this anymore." Yang Ganzhen, the governor of Dongchuan of Dachang, smiled and said, "Shao Shude wiped out all the heroes. In this world, where does the princess come from except the Shao family? When he went to find Li Maozhen, his Majesty was very hesitant and his status was not qualified. Now, the Xia people refused. Your Majesty should give up, right?"

Duan Yizong smiled bitterly.

Your Majesty has this problem. The queen must choose a woman with status, preferably a foreign princess. Duan Yizong was speechless, but he could understand and stabilize the overall situation.

"Forget it, go back to China." Duan Yizong said: "I would rather go back to China to govern the country than running around."

"The Jinlang River and Gaohe water conservancy facilities have been disrepair for a long time, so I have to go and see them with my own eyes. They are related to the irrigation of tens of thousands of hectares of land, so I dare not be careless."

"There are so many escapees in Lishui Gold Mine. I don't know what to do, so I have to go and take a look."

"The people of Phu were robbed by the Bagan people and went to Shanchan's Mansion to ask for help. I don't know what happened."

"All ethnic groups in the country..."

Duan Yizong talks about everything, and every sentence is inseparable from military and national affairs.

Yang Ganzhen was yawning when he heard this. He only knew how to fight and kill, and was not very interested in these internal affairs.

What kind of people? It is better to plunder the Central Plains from the north than to the north.

The Piao people were a group living in the middle of the Yin Luowady River in Myanmar. There was once a country. During the reign of Emperor Dezong of Tang, the Piao Kingdom sent envoys to the court to offer a dance, and Emperor Dezong appointed his prince as the Taichangqing.

But thirty years later, Nanzhao expanded into Myanmar, captured the capital of the Piao Kingdom, and plundered its royal family, officials and monks to return to the country and placed it in Tuodong City (now Kunming).

After this attack, the Piao Kingdom split into several minor regimes of the Piao people and was unable to recover. The Burmese people took advantage of the situation and completely annexed the Piao people's territory hundreds of years later, becoming the rulers of the middle reaches of the Yin Luowady River.

As of now, the small regimes of the Phu people are all vassals controlled by the Daejan Hokkaido, and some of their territory are even directly managed by the Daejan Hokkaido.

Yang Ganzhen was really not interested in the south where transportation was inconvenient. Phu, Bagan, and Brahmins, if they were interested, they would rob them a few times. If they were not interested, they would be better at practicing troops at home and find opportunities to go north to the Central Plains.

After Duan Yizong made a big splash, he saw Yang Ganzhen looking around and suddenly became angry. Just as he was about to question, he saw Yang Ganzhen wave his hand.

Duan Yizong looked in the direction of his finger, but saw that it was a wine shop. Several scholars who came to Chang'an from other places seemed to have drunk too much and talked loudly.

"The Zang family has also become a royal relative, and this is very evident."

"What is the saying? I hope to hear it carefully."

"Zang Dubao is likely to become the commander of the Western Expedition and take charge of the overall situation."

"Is it really going to fight the West?"

"Then there is still a falsehood? Such a big noise can't be seen by the blind man? He started preparing two years ago. Most of the saints would not personally fight, but instead chose a general to lead the troops. This person is likely to be Zang Dubao."

"Zang Dubao is still in Liaodong, right?"

"I don't know where he is. Anyway, he is the commander of the Western Expedition. I said it. If I didn't say it right, I would go to propose marriage to the butcher Zheng."

"Ha ha!"

"Miss Zheng sat you to death!"

Zheng Butcher's daughter is big and thick, so it is no problem to deal with one or two strong men, let alone scholars like them.

Yang Ganzhen smiled and shook her head, then looked at Duan Yizong.

Duan Yizong pulled him away, and after walking for a while, he whispered: "Ship Yang, from your perspective, is it very likely that the Xia people will expedition the West?"

"Many people say this, it shouldn't be fake." Yang Ganzhen said: "To be honest, this is actually an opportunity."

Duan Yizong wanted to speak but stopped and was worried.

Yang Ganzhen glanced at him and said nothing.

He looks rough and tyrannical, murderous, and has a strong sense of martial arts, but he is also a little cunning.

If Zheng Maisi usurped power and took office, wouldn't Yang's family be able to do it? In fact, he has been waiting for the opportunity.

However, even if the Zheng family is defeated, he will not act rashly. Because the Zheng family has hundreds of people, many of their children are officials everywhere and have a very strong power. The best way is to push a family to the front desk and let them be evil people, and first cut off the remaining forces of the Zheng family. After this work is completed, he will destroy the family, and then either ascend the throne or become a powerful minister below, so as to advance and retreat freely. Wouldn't it be beautiful?

There are many large clans in the country who hold this view. For example, the Gao clan of Xi'er River has this idea, and the fool jumped to the front desk to become an emperor. Of course, compared to the Gao clan, Yang Ganzhen is still a little interested in the throne. Then we will talk about the situation.

"Ah. I have been urging Your Majesty to expand southward, completely annex the countries of the Piao people, and then destroy Bagan and Zhenla." Duan Yizong said: "How can the great powers in the Central Plains be lightly offensive? They will suffer a great loss."

"Bu Xie is wrong." Yang Ganzhen said: "What are the people of the Piao? They are so poor that they are stupid. They are as stupid as pigs. What are the benefits of bullying them? It would be different to go north to the Central Plains. If you can plunder some scholars and craftsmen back, you will be very beneficial to the country. Let's put it this way, even ten people of the Piao are not as good as one person in the Central Plains."

"Hmph, Li Ling is wise and confused." Duan Yizong sneered: "If you go north to send troops, will Yang Shuai be the pioneer?"

Yang Ganzhen avoided answering, laughed and got over it.

Duan Yizong's face became colder and colder.

Of course he knew how attractive the Central Plains was to Nanzhao and Dachanghe Country. Just talk about himself, he had excellent poems, and after coming to the Central Plains, he also left behind several poems.

The emperor's brother Zheng Zhaochun is even more proficient in reading seeds, poetry, songs, and articles.

Even the royal family of the previous dynasty, Meng Longshun also practiced poetry and prose. Meng Longshun once used the words from "Spring and Autumn" to show off in front of Xu Yunqian, although the result was not good.

Nanzhao, the situation in Dachanghe reminded him of a country in the northeast of the former Tang Dynasty: the Bohai Sea.

I heard that people from the Bohai Kingdom go to Chang'an to study every year, and people keep taking the exam for the Central People's Tribute Jinshi. Nanzhao is a bit bad in this regard. Most of the nobles' children study in Chengdu, and few of them are taking the exam for the Bin's Tribute Jinshi. Their literary talent is much worse than that of the Bohai Kingdom.

To put it simply, the Tang Dynasty was once the spiritual and cultural mother country of the surrounding countries. All the upper classes of all countries went to the former Tang Dynasty to study, take exams, and be an official as the highest pursuit, and they were proud of being recognized by the locals. Duan Yizong had five poems included in the "Complete Tang Poems", and the Nanzhao envoy Yang Qikun, who was suggested to be killed by Gao Pian, also had "Poems on the Way", each with its own lyrics.

In terms of emotion, Duan Yizong was unwilling to attack the Central Plains.

From a rational point of view, he was unwilling to attack the Central Plains.

However, Xia mainly conquered the Western Regions, and many people in the country should have thought it was a plan? Considering the subtle situation in the court, Duan Yizong felt that war might be inevitable.

This perception frustrated him. Once the Northern Expedition fails, God knows what will happen!

The Montessori has already left the market, but there are Gao family, Yang family and even Duan family in the country. What will these big families do?

The Zheng family's national reign has not been around for several years, right?

The snowflakes are fluttering, the north wind is whistling, and the world is vast.
Chapter completed!
