first-class champion

At the beginning of the rain, there is a bright yellow mist on the tip of the willow, graceful and graceful.

On the blue waves of Luoshui, there are already painted boats going back and forth, and merchant ships coming and going.

Standing at the bridge, you can see many people walking around with great interest when the light rain stops. Apart from businessmen, there are more people who are going out of the city for an outing, literati, poets, ladies and daughters. They have been bored all winter, just like waking up from hibernation. The little animals, I can't wait to see the green world right away.

Some willows germinate earlier, and some willows are still fluttering catkins.

The catkins are like the snow flying in the air, and the pear blossoms are like the snow condensed on the branches.

Because the rain stopped shortly after going out, Duan Mingyu didn't put on a coir raincoat or open an umbrella, but just stood with his hands behind his back, between the drifting snow and the condensed snow, on the Luoshui embankment.

The spring rains have stopped at the beginning, and the river water has risen slightly and is also slightly turbid.

The boat passed through the river, and the river slapped the banks, and a few ducks swayed left and right in the shallow water with the surging river water.

There are three or two women and girls washing clothes by the river.

A little girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, had bare snow-white feet because she was afraid of getting her shoes wet, and the surging river water rushed over the smooth boulder surface from time to time and overflowed her feet.

There is also a young woman who is beating her clothes with a mallet. Her baby is probably breastfeeding. Because breastfeeding often unbuttons the neckline, the neckline is a little loose. From a high position, one can clearly see the two snow-white round lumps on her chest.

Duan Mingyu took a look, and found that there were still a few idlers on the embankment who were pretending to look at the water. The angle of their eyes was obviously...

As expected, he was a fellow, Duan Mingyu couldn't help laughing, and didn't want to be with him.Slowly turned his back and stood under the tender yellow willow branch, looking towards the direction of the bridge.

The clear spring rain had just stopped, and Duan Mingyu was in the midst of the red and emerald green.Watching the fairy in the poetic and picturesque approach slowly.

Princess Jinling had just come out of the palace, and she was wearing a palace skirt for meeting the emperor, so she tied a cloak for Songhe Yingchun outside her clothes.

"See the princess!" Duan Mingyu cupped his hands slightly. Li Yuying, the princess of Jinling, promoted Duan Mingyu to the lowest rank. From then on, Duan Mingyu began her journey to become an official. , the number of times the two met became less and less, but there was still a trace of affection when they first met.

"Mr. Duan, why bother to be so polite. At this moment, you are not a prince, and I am not a princess. You are Mingyu, and I am Yuying. It is good that we met in the inn back then." Li Yuying smiled sweetly, and immediately There are many styles.

"I don't know why Yuying asked Xiaosheng to come here today, what's your business?" Duan Mingyu immediately changed her address, just like the young master and the young lady waiting to be married.

"I've already persuaded Brother Huang, but Brother Huang won't listen to me... hey!"

"I'm sorry to bother you, but since it's my request, please let the princess do it for me." Duan Mingyu was slightly taken aback.

"It's coming again, didn't I tell you not to call me a princess? Hey, I have never seen a person like you who let a high-ranking official do nothing, but just stopped like this. Without the son, the future of Datang is really destined Too bad." Li Yuying spat, and said with worry in her eyes.

"Yuying?"

"Ok?"

"The Tang Dynasty is not my Tang Dynasty, and the world is not my world. If the Tang Dynasty is gone, I will be at the end of the road, so what about after ten generations? The world depends on the common maintenance of the majority of people. I have already done it. With the greatest efforts, Datang has passed the most difficult period, and it will not be defeated for a while."

"The world is troubled today. Could it be that my lord has the heart to watch the people in the world lead a worse and worse life, and can it be that he has the heart to repeat the scene of thousands of miles of barren land in the Yellow Nest?" Li Yuying frowned and said in disbelief.

"Yuying, why are you so sure?" Duan Mingyu giggled, but it didn't seem suitable for such a serious scene, so she had to hold back her smile embarrassingly.

"Others don't know, don't I know? Over the years, the son's actions have been dedicated to the world. I know the son's suffering. It is because of the son that Datang was able to inherit Guozuo. But the son is now letting go, Yuying What is Li Tang's retreat, and the retreat of the common people in the world? The vassal towns in central Shu are still opposed to the imperial court, and Cangzhou and Zhenzhou are still under Zhu Wen's control. On the ground, the two brothers Liu Shouwen and Liu Shouguang even fought for the throne. Liu Shouwen even borrowed troops from the Khitan at great profit, and the Tang Dynasty was still devastated..." Li Yuying couldn't help but sighed, "What a disaster!"

"What, Liu Shouwen borrowed troops from Khitan!" Duan Mingyu asked in surprise with a flash of light in his eyes.

"That's right, it's true, what's the matter, young master?" Li Yuying gave Duan Mingyu a strange look.

"Yuying, do you know who is Datang's biggest enemy today?"

"The internal officials are filling their pockets, and there are still a few military supporters in the feudal towns who are self-respecting."

"Wrong, big mistake. After so many years of conquests, there is no longer any feudal town that can easily compete with the Tang Dynasty in terms of national power. Chen Jingxuan in Sichuan can't, Wang Jian can't, and the two brothers from Youzhou, Zhu Wen can't either." Duan Mingyu said loudly. the way.

"That is?"

"The greatest enemy of the Tang Dynasty is still in the bitter cold north." Duan Mingyu put it bluntly.

"Khitan?"

"That's right, the Khitan's national strength is prosperous, the people are martial arts, and the people's customs are aggressive. Although the Yanmen Pass has dampened its spirit, it has not dispelled its coveting heart for our Central Plains world. Liu Shouwen's borrowing troops from the Khitan is tantamount to leading a wolf into the house. Believe me, Even if Zhu Wen would intervene, the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures would inevitably fall into the hands of Khitan in the end. Liu Shouwen and Liu Shouguang were not as good as their father Liu Rengong. At that time, Zhu Wen will definitely try to seize the land of Yan, but his background is not as good as that of Khitan. Once Khitan has the land of Yan, he will no longer be a nomad who lacks iron and living supplies, but will evolve into a city with a city. , A country with a strong military force, who has his own base, has the courage to start a long-term war, whether it is fighting logistics or fighting force." Duan Mingyu talked eloquently, and Li Yuying was also terrified.

"Besides, the land of Yan is very important to us. It is located high and commanding. Except for the Yellow River, there is no place in the Central Plains that can be defended. It can go straight to the heart of the Central Plains." Duan Mingyu sighed, "Yelu Abaoji He and his son Yelu Deguang are a generation of heroes with great ambitions. At that time, they will establish a country where the north and the south will face each other. This country is called Daliao."
