Zhao Lieneng grew from a small soldier to a general protecting the country, and then from a general protecting the country to the Palace of the God of War, absolutely without Duan Dede's secret assistance.
Although Duan Dede did not serve as an official and did not interfere in military and government affairs, as long as Zhao Lie asked, he would not hesitate to speak.
Zhao Lie was in middle age when he served as the general protecting the country. With his physique, he should have been able to survive for more than ten years.
but.
Duan De got a letter and asked him to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy!
There are only four words on the letter - Retire after success!
Zhao Lie was fifty-five years old at the time. He was strong, tough and brave. He looked like he was in his fifties, but in fact he was in his forties.
He could have continued to serve as the national protector general for another ten years.
But Duan De had to give him four words to wake him up.
really!
He has been very successful. During the conquests along the way, he has grown from an unknown soldier to a general who protects the country with less than one person and more than ten thousand people. He has also cultivated military talents like Yan Beidu.
If he continues to sit down and build meritorious deeds, His Majesty will not reward him, and it will be time for his head to move.
so.
At the peak of his career, he promptly chose to abdicate and gave up the position of General Protector of the Country.
really.
As soon as he abdicated, Yan Beidu came to power.
In order to make up for his contribution, Yan Nandu built him a War God's Mansion in Dadi City for him to live in his old age.
For him, this undoubtedly saved his reputation and gave him the reputation of retiring after a successful career.
Yanbei is very talented in military affairs and has a very good mind.
He lived up to Zhao Lie's training.
During his reign, he conquered Huangmu City, captured Huxiao Pass, and expanded the territory of the Yan Empire.
Yan Beidou was well aware of the importance of Yanhuang Academy, so he specially invited Zhao Lie to help matchmaking so that his son Yan Lei could marry Duan Dede's daughter.
This is equivalent to tying Duan Dede to his own boat.
Duan Dede did not agree.
Because he knew very well that once his daughter married Yan Lei, it would definitely bring disaster to Yan Beidu in the future.
The one in the palace is not stupid.
You are clearly trying to win over power by marrying your son, and you have ulterior motives.
In Duan Dede's opinion, his daughter should marry Prince Rui, the eldest prince of Yan Nandu.
Duan Run's marriage to Prince Rui is justifiable, and he will be able to better assist Prince Rui in controlling government affairs in the future.
But Prince Rui died in battle!
This left Duan Dede speechless.
Despite this, Duan Dede still did not rush to agree in the face of Yan Beidu and Zhao Lie's offensive.
Even if his daughter can marry an ordinary person, she cannot marry the son of the Duke Protector.
The relationship is too sensitive!
It is obvious that it poses a threat to Yan Nandu.
But her daughter was so superior that no one looked down on her. In desperation, Duan Dede married his daughter to Yan Lei.
really.
Everything was as he expected.
Less than two months after marrying Yan Lei, the Yan family's father and son were beheaded at the border in public.
After Duan Dede learned the news, he didn't eat for three days and three nights.
He felt extremely guilty.
As a great scholar in the world, he is the one who understands the most.
Yanhuang Academy is different from other family forces.
It is bound to Yanhuang College, which means that all future students of Yanhuang College can choose at will.
There is a lack of advisers around, so if you just open your mouth, a lot of talents will come for interviews.
After all, there is Duan Runxia's relationship.
Even Yan Bei is interested in this aspect, so why can't Yan Nan see it?
Everyone is not a fool.
As the emperor of a country, Yan Nandu was surrounded by many advisers. If anyone stood up and gave advice, Yan Nandu would be keenly aware of the political threat.
Yan Nandu beheaded Yan Beidu on the charge of treason, which was considered to be the most benevolent and righteous act!
It can only be said that Yan Beidu did things without thinking.
But it's different when it comes to Yan Yun's ears!
What does it mean for you to kill my father?
Although my father has gathered forces, he has not really rebelled!
If he plots rebellion and you chop off his head with another letter, maybe I won’t have to travel through time!
Yan Yun can't control it.
No need to worry!
He is a time traveler. You chopped off my father's head and killed my eldest and second brothers. I want to fight you to the end.
Back to business.
In a pavilion of Yanhuang Academy.
Chang Shanhe and Duan De sat opposite each other.
A servant has already prepared tea.
"Sir is a great scholar in this world, with great strategy and talent... I have great admiration for you! I kindly ask you to move to the capital of the Zhao Kingdom. I, the Emperor of Zhao, will definitely grant you the position of National Preceptor!" Chang Shanhe did not dare to offend the big man in front of him.
Duan Dede took a sip of tea and said expressionlessly: "I heard... not long ago, my junior brother Kong Zhidao was driven away by you, right?"
"this……"
Upon hearing this, Chang Shanhe's mouth felt as if he had swallowed a dead fly. He looked quite embarrassed and said: "This is what happened between those stinky fermented bean curds..."
Speaking of this, Chang Shanhe became even more embarrassed!
Oh shit!
By accident, the "stinky fermented bean curd" was brought out again.
"Ha ha……"
When Duan Dede heard the words "stinky fermented bean curd", instead of getting angry, he stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, shook his head and said with a smile:
"I, Duan Dede, made an oath in my early years that I would only teach and educate people and cultivate virtuous and talented people in my life, and I would never serve in an official position! I do not pursue fame and fortune, only stability and tranquility! Why should I cultivate Confucian scholars? I Let them rise to prominence and have a bright future. I only hope that they can better benefit the people of Liming and be able to have a better truce to end the war! I know why the Chu Empire has not rushed to attack Dayan until now, but you, Great Zhao The empire is willing to abandon the alliance and take the first step to capture Shanjian City?"
"Why?" Chang Shanhe asked.
Because Prime Minister Zhu En blocked it.
"Because you are selfish and only thinking about expanding your territory, without caring about the life and death of the people! So you would rather break the alliance than raise an army to attack Yan! One thing you did is right! Indeed... you seized the opportunity and took advantage of it in one fell swoop. We got down to Shanjian City! But so what? So what if we took down Shanjian City? Does it mean that your Zhao Empire has strong soldiers and horses? Or does it mean that your Zhao Empire has a rich country and a strong people? Neither can explain it! It can only mean that you are taking advantage of others' danger. !So...this kind of raising troops to go to war is unpopular!"
Duan Dede said on the ground.
Zhu En of the Dayan Empire was his student. The Dayan Empire was not so anxious to attack Dayan. Zhu En and other civil servants must have tried their best to stop it.
On the other hand, look at the Zhao Empire.
After Kong Zhidao was driven away, the civil servants of the Zhao Empire underwent a radical change.
Now he is even more treacherous, breaking the alliance, risking the disapproval of the world, and attacking Dayan.
It seems that Shanjian City has been captured, but it is unpopular.
"General Chang... Today I am here to say something that opens the door to the sky... Your Zhao Empire is not far away from being destroyed..."
After saying this, Duan Dede closed his eyes.
