night.

Sudden heavy rainstorms invaded Dali Imperial City, making this most pleasant place covered by thick mist and rain.

The original palace had now become the Dali Road Government Office, and the huge palace was divided into many areas such as the Jieduan Mansion, the Funeral Mansion, and the Funeral Mansion.

But Duan Shi, who was appointed as the governor of Dali Road, still lived in his former bedroom.

At this time, he stood by the window, quietly listening to the rustling sound of the rain hitting the green leaves outside the house.

Five years have passed.

In a blink of an eye, nearly five years have passed since Duan Qilin was killed and the entire Dali area surrendered.

In the past five years, Duan Shi, who has the purest Dali Duan bloodline, has been a puppet honestly and has never done anything unusual, but if you really care about it, you may still feel a little unwilling to do it.

This Yangyang Dali was originally the territory of their Duan family. He should be the emperor here, not the nominal governor or the actual vocal insect.

Looking out the window for a long time, although he didn't look old, Duan Shi, who was only sixty years old, turned around and looked at his wife on the bed.

His original wife came from a famous family in Dali. She was the second daughter of Yan Weiang, the former elder of the court and the general manager of the Sixing Mansion.

He has been married to him as his concubine at the age of sixteen, and has been forty years since now.

I always respect Duan Shi like a guest, and there were times when I was inseparable.

Although Duan Shi only gave birth to two daughters in this life, because his father was Yan Wei'ang, Duan Shi never got to the emperor's position, so he did not act like a concubine.

In addition to her, she also took two other concubines, and a total of more than ten concubines.

This is nothing.

"Princes" like Duan Shi rarely have only one concubine in their family.

No matter how beautiful a woman is, she will have aging and deteriorating sex.

Men are always a little fresh, and the princess never stopped Duan Shina.

In fact, they have not had a bed and sleeping together for nearly ten years.

The princess was quite beautiful when she was young and was a well-known lady in Dali. However, after she was forty years old, she could only be considered a milf.

She is naturally unable to compare with those concubines in the mansion who are just as young as Hua Miaoqing.

But just two years ago, Duan Shi, who had become the governor of Dali Road, suddenly moved back to her house to live.

Some of the concubines in the mansion were sent out directly by him, while others remained in the mansion, but he rarely favored them again.

Of course, this is not a great enlightenment after experiencing the prosperity of the world.

But Duan Shi was extremely romantic when he was young, and at this age he felt what it means to be weak.

I hugged those young concubines at night and couldn't do anything I wanted.

Duan Shi, who suffered from the torture but could not help but feel a little guilty towards the neglected princess.

The one who has been with him for the longest time in his life is ultimately the one who has married his wife.

He simply moved back to the princess' room to live.

Although hugging a princess of this age is not as comfortable as hugging those concubines, at least there is no need to experience such powerless torture.

Looking at the princess who had lost her charming appearance when she was young, Duan Shi didn't know what she thought of, sighed softly and walked towards the bed.

Yan Wei'ang died of illness three years ago, and fewer and fewer loyal to him than Duan's family, and his voice in Dali is getting lower and lower.

Nowadays, the young and strong officials in Dali are either from the Song Dynasty or are grateful to the Song Dynasty court.

He, as a military governor, is no different from a transparent man.

Just when he was about to take off his clothes and sleep, a guard outside the door suddenly said, "Mr. Jiedu, Lord Jiang is here."

Duan Shi was slightly stunned and walked towards the door.

Lord Jiang was the original uncle of Dali and the chief manager of Shanchan Mansion.

Although Duan Qilin was defeated and killed, for the sake of peace in Dali Road, the general manager of Shanchan Prefecture was not rectified.

He now serves as an inspector under the Finance Department in the Dali Road Government.

This is equivalent to the supervision agency under the Department of Finance. As an ordinary inspector, he obviously does not have much power.

Jiang Kui's voice in Dali is far from being compared with when he was the chief executive of Shanchanfu before.

When he arrived outside the door, Duan Qilin saw Jiang Kui, who was still wet with a paper umbrella with his clothes, but was still wet with rain.

He probably has the kind of physique that can make you fat if you drink water. His life has never been as comfortable as before in recent years, but he seems to have gained a few pounds.

Even the ordinary oil-paper umbrella could not completely cover him.

Duan Shi directly invited Jiang Kui to the side room and asked, "Why is Lord Jiang here at this time?"

"Jiangsu."

Jiang Kui first gave Duan a gift, then sighed softly, "The lower officials can't sleep, so come and see the Jiedushi."

Duan Shi raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing that Jiang Kui should be trying to say something, so he just looked at Jiang Kui.

Jiang Kui said again: "The imperial guards of the Dali Military Region have been leaving Dali for more than three months now, right?"

Duan Shi had a thoughtful look in his eyes and said, "That's true.

Marshal Liu Zhuwen led his army to leave for a long time, but he didn't know whether he had arrived at the front line at this time."

Jiang Kui walked to the guest seat next to Duan Shi and sat down, looking outside the house, "When Lord Zhao arrived at the mansion two days ago, he went to Xiaguan's mansion to talk to Xiaguan to the old days."

Duan Shi was slightly moved, "What did you say?"

Of course he knew who Mr. Zhao was mentioned by Jiang Kui.

Although there are not many former Dali officials who are still working on Dali Road, there are only those who are famous.

The only one with the surname Zhao was the former chief manager of Xiushan County and the King of Xiushan, Zhao Liangcai.

He had an important position in Xiushan County. After he became a minister in Dali, he still served as an inspector in Xiushan County.

But now he is retired.

Jiang Kui said: "Don't Lord Zhao have two sons? They both served in Xiushan County.

However, later, the Deputy Jiedushi presided over the re-examination of the officials on Dali Road, allowing them to learn the government knowledge of the court, and demoted officials who failed to meet the standards for two consecutive years and cleared them for three years.

Mr. Zhao's two sons actually have some talent in governing, but now their memory is no longer comparable to those of young people. They have not been able to reach their scores for a few years and are about to be stripped of their official position.

When Lord Zhao met his subordinates, he wanted the subordinates to give you a sentence to the Jiedushi to see if you can go to the Deputy Jiedushi to say a few words and ask for a love."

Duan Shi narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled, "Do you think my words can be that effective?"

Jiang Kui's face suddenly became solemn, approaching Duan Shi's ear, "Why don't you know if the prince has ever wanted to re-establish the country?"

Duan Shi suddenly changed his expression and said quietly: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Kui said: "With Lord Zhao and his friends retired, we old ministers in Dali are now becoming less and less able to speak in Dali. Perhaps in a few years, we may not even have successors.

Prince, you are the blood of the royal family. As long as you climb the high ground, we will definitely respond.

Now Liu Zhuwen led the imperial guards to the Yuan Dynasty. There were still some of our people in the defenders of each city. Maybe we could..."                                                                                                               

There was no such thing as hereditary in the Song Dynasty. As long as they retired, gradually, their families could only become ordinary wealthy families.

Who would have been willing to have wealth but not power in the past?

When Liu Zhuwen was there, although these people were constantly suppressed by Yu Feihang and others, they did not dare to make any abnormal movements.

And now Liu Zhuwen leaves, it is obviously an opportunity.

The so-called lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although five years have passed, it turns out that the ministers of the Dali faction are obviously still in Dali.

Duan Shi felt deeply ponder when he heard Jiang Kui's bold words.

He also knew that this was an opportunity, and even over the past few days, he had even come up with this idea more than once.

He now needs to have food and clothing in the government office.

He gradually lost interest in women, and the only thing that could still make him interested was the restoration of the country.

But this seems easy, but it is certainly not that simple.

Duan Shi still has too many doubts in his heart.
