On the first day of the first lunar month, Zhao Chen and the ministers of civil and military affairs discussed state affairs in the Hall of Lizheng, while the city of Yanjing was full of hustle and bustle. Countless people of Yanjing went to temple fairs, visited relatives and friends, and when night came, firecrackers sounded in the city of Yanjing , The sound of fireworks, the entire Yanjing City is even more lively.

It was not until late at night that Yanjing City was completely quiet.

At the moment, in an attic in the harem, Zhao Chen is staying here with Zhe Yueru and Qin Yuzhen, while Song Qingyao and Xue Susu are outside coaxing the children to sleep.

Zhao Chen was leaning on the bed, reading a book, and Zhe Yueru was sewing a piece of clothing beside her. She was extremely beautiful, affectionate and peaceful, and the whole room seemed to be quiet because of her.

"Husband, why is the world changed to provinces? Aren't you going to abolish the three provinces and six ministries? The province means Xingtai Shangshu province." Zheyue Ru said.

"The province has nothing to do with the previous three provinces and six ministries, it's just a name. In the past, there were twenty-three roads in the world, but many roads were set up temporarily, and some roads were set up for war. In each road, each prefecture and state Counties also often act independently, and some only belong to a certain road in name! Some roads have Xuanfu envoys, some have several roads with a Xuanfu envoy, and some have no top officials, so changes must be made! In addition, now I The territory of the Song Dynasty has been restored to the heyday of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and those areas must be divided." Zhao Chen said.

"How many provinces is your husband planning to divide the world into?" Zhe Yueru raised her head and asked curiously.

"Preliminary positioning of thirty-six provinces! The previous twenty-three roads need to be divided, and many need to be merged. Xixia may be divided into two or three provinces. Shangjing and Zhongjing will also become provinces respectively. Liaodong will be divided into Two provinces, plus Koryo, Annan, Dali and other places." Zhao Chen said.

"Annan and Dali are not owned by my Song Dynasty." Zhe Yueru said.

"Soon these two places will belong to my Song Dynasty! Zhao Zhe has already sent troops to Dali!" Zhao Chen said.

"Ah!" Zhe Yueru was taken aback.

"There is a big problem in Dali. It is the Dali Duan family who begged me to send troops to the Song Dynasty to eliminate the Gao family." Zhao Chen said.

"I see!" Zheyue Ruben was the number one talented woman in Northwest China, and she had heard about Dali before, so she nodded immediately.

"After each province is established as a province, it must also set up parliaments and provincial courts like the imperial court. The parliaments and provincial courts have the same status as the provincial government! Now the Congress and the Parliament have little power, only the administration and the judiciary are independent. But in the future the Congress The parliament will gradually have the power to control legislation, impeachment and other responsibilities! The establishment of a parliament in each province cannot be done in a short period of time. I am afraid it will take five to ten years! The selection and appointment of officials in each province must be discussed! There are too many things to do to summon the world's most important civil and military ministers to Yanjing this time!" Zhao Chen laughed.

For many things Zhao Chen said, Zhe Yueru didn't understand what they meant, and she didn't ask, but just nodded slightly.

"Husband, my master is here today." At this moment, Qin Yuzhen suddenly said.

"Ah!" Zhao Chen was taken aback, and said, "Your master?"

Qin Yuzhen was an outstanding disciple of the righteous way back then. He came from Tianshan Mountain. In the past two years, Qin Yuzhen often talked about his school and master. Zhao Chen had promised to accompany Qin Yuzhen to Tianshan to meet Qin Yuzhen's master in the future, but he did not expect that Qin Yuzhen's master would be there. Come today.

"She only saw me and left again! She said that I was not fit for cultivation, so she kicked me out of the school." Qin Yuzhen said with a sad expression on his face.

"There is such a thing!" Zhao Chen put down the book, got off the bed, and walked to Qin Yuzhen's side.

He hugged Qin Yuzhen tightly in his arms and kissed him gently. Qin Yuzhen hugged Zhao Chen, his eyes were wet, and his whole body was choked with sobs.

"The master doesn't want you anymore, the master doesn't want you anymore, don't you still have me? And Yueru, Ayao and the others! We are all your relatives! We will be with you forever!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes." Qin Yuzhen nodded slightly.

"What's the point of cultivating in the mountains? Can it really become a fairy? The best practice is in the world. Knowing the ways of the world can change this country and this era, so that our ethnic group can flourish and surpass the past. , so that our ethnic group can continue to progress and move forward, this is a meaningful thing! The world is so big, we can have endless things to say and do in our lifetime. Wouldn’t it be good for us to enjoy the scenery of this world together? ? After the national system is finalized, I will have more leisure time, and I will accompany you well in the future." Zhao Chen said.

Qin Yuzhen nodded, a smile appeared on Lihua's rainy face, Zhao Chen lowered his head and kissed her tightly.

It is mid-winter in the north, but in the distant Dali, the climate here is much warmer.

Late at night, outside the city of Dali, the capital of the Dali Kingdom, a hundred thousand Song troops have already surrounded the place!

There are Dali soldiers on the city wall, and each of these soldiers is terrified!

If there is a country with the weakest military force in this world, it must be Dali! Dali's military strength is far inferior to that of Goryeo. The soldiers and horses of Dali have basically never participated in foreign wars! In history, when the Mongols went south, they conquered Dali with only 20,000 soldiers and horses. At this moment, 100,000 troops want to conquer Dali!

In the night, the sound of shouting and killing kept ringing out, and the sound of bowstrings swishing everywhere!

It was not until early in the morning, the second day of the first lunar month, that the sound of shouting and bowing gradually became quieter.

The Song Army did not enter Dali City, it was just shooting with bows and arrows last night, but at this time in the morning mist, the gate of Dali City slowly opened!

A tall Dali man came out of the city, and Song Jun immediately surrounded him.

"I am Dali Gao Taiming, I want to see your Great Song General!" the middle-aged man said.

It turns out that this person is the Prime Minister of Dali and the head of the Dali Gao family! Since several decades ago, the Dali Kingdom has been ruled by the Gao clan, and the Dali Duan clan is just a puppet in the hands of the Gao clan!

Song Jun led Gao Taiming towards the front, and after a short walk, they came to Zhao Zhe.

Gao Taiming stared at Zhao Zhe, and after a while he let out a miserable laugh, knelt down, and said, "The Prime Minister of Dali sees the general!"

Zhao Zhe smiled and said, "You open the city gate on your own initiative, are you going to surrender to me, Da Song?"

Gao Taiming nodded and said: "I hope the general will forgive me for Gao's crime!"

Zhao Zhe said: "Before I came, Your Majesty decreed that if you, Gao Clan, resisted to the end, not only would you be dead, but all the important figures of the Gao Clan would be executed, and the Gao Clan's property would be confiscated! But if you choose to surrender, we can give you Your Gao family has a way out, and all your property will still belong to you! You are going to Yanjing yourself, and you will live in Yanjing City from now on!"

Gao Taiming was stunned for a moment, and said, "Is it just treating us like this?"

Zhao Zhe nodded slightly.

Gao Taiming breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "Thank you General, thank you His Majesty the Great Song Emperor!"

"Take us into the city!" Zhao Zhe said.

At present, under the leadership of Gao Taiming, the Song Army entered Dali City.

The scenery in Dali city is beautiful, the streets here are very wide, and there are many temples in the city! The Buddhist atmosphere here is much stronger than that of Yanjing City. Dali City used to be called Tiannan Buddhist Kingdom!

This Dali city is not the ancient city of Dali in later generations, the ancient city of Dali in later generations was built in the Ming Dynasty.

All the way forward, the Song army has occupied all the important intersections.

At this moment, Zhao Zhe's generals continued to lead the Song army towards the other important strongholds in Dali City. Zhao Zhe and Gao Taiming were together.

"There are many Yi tribes in Dali, will they surrender to Song Dynasty?" Zhao Zhe asked.

"They should seek refuge with Da Song! They don't really obey me, Gao, but Duan." Gao Taiming said.

Zhao Zhe nodded.

Not long after, they came to the Dali Palace.

The Dali Palace is also a unique appearance of the Buddhist kingdom. There is a Buddha statue in front of the palace. At this moment, a man in a yellow robe is kneeling in front of the palace gate to welcome the arrival of the Song army. There are more than a dozen Dali people behind him. They are all dressed luxuriously, and there are even monks among them.

"Dali Duan Heyu, Duan Zhengming, Duan Zhengchun, etc., see the general!" The man in the yellow robe said at this moment.
