Duan Zhengchun felt even sadder when he heard that.
It was simply embarrassing for a dignified member of the royal family to live like this.
At this time, the Great Song had a large business, and the highest tax revenue was 160 million strings of money in a year. They did not think much of Dali, this desolate land.
It was only when Emperor Renxuan of Dali that the Northern Song Dynasty would accept Dali again and accept its tribute.
Renxuan's high name was Duan Geyu, also known as Duan Yu in this world.
Duan Zhengchun and Duan Zhengming naturally did not know about these things. They thought that they would have someone to talk to him if he gave them a small gift.
Little did they know that their gifts were really petty and insincere in the eyes of the generous officials of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Alright, Brother Chun, you can go back and rest.”The two of them discussed state affairs for a while until late at night.
Duan Zheng Chun cupped his hands and bowed." Then Imperial Brother, rest early. The state affairs are important, and so is your health."”
"I know," Duan Zhengming waved his hand.”
Duan Zhengchun cupped his hands and left.
After returning to King Zhennan's estate, Duan Zheng Chun called for the servants to prepare hot water. He was about to take a bath and rest.
However, when she saw that her son's room was still lit, she could not help but knock on the door.
"Father, you're back!" After knocking on the door, there were footsteps in the room, and then the door was pulled open.
Inside the room was a child dressed in white. He was about eleven or twelve years old, with fair skin and eyes like stars.
Although he was still young, he already had the bearing of a prince.
"Yes, it's so late. Why hasn't Yu 'er slept yet?”Duan Zhengchun walked into the room and asked.
Duan Yu chuckled." I read a good book today and was engrossed in it. I didn't realize that it was already this hour."”
" What kind of book has such magical power?" Duan Zhengchun asked curiously.”
"Book of Changes!" Duan Yu walked to the table and picked up a book, handing it to Duan Zheng Chun.
Duan Zhengchun was stunned for a moment before he smiled knowingly.
Recently, he often talked about the Great Song with his henchmen. He did not expect his son to read the classics of the Great Song after listening.
At such a young age, she already had the intention to share her father's worries. It was really rare.
"Is there anything you don't understand?" Duan Zhengchun sat down and asked gently.
When Duan Yu heard this, he hurriedly pointed at a few words for him to explain.
As a disciple of the imperial family, although Duan Zhengchun also cultivated martial arts, he did not fall behind in reading. Naturally, he had read a lot of ancient books from the Central Plains.
In that era, the Great Song was the center of the world's culture, and culture radiated everywhere, including Dali.
After explaining a few words, Duan Yu suddenly asked,""Father, what did uncle discuss with you today? I think I heard someone challenging Tian Long Temple. Is that true?”
" Yes." Duan Zhengchun was stunned for a moment before nodding." Your uncle came to me to discuss this matter." Tomorrow, a strong enemy will challenge Heavenly Dragon Temple. Your uncle and I are prepared to go and help!”
"Sigh!" Duan Yu was confused." Why does everyone like to fight and kill? Isn't it better to sit down and drink tea and chat?”
Duan Zhengchun was speechless and shook his head. The martial arts world and the country were the same. They only wanted fame and fortune. Who could let go of these two things? Yu 'er, you're not young anymore. It's time for you to learn our Duan family's martial arts.”
"I don't want to." Duan Yu shook his head." What's so good about fighting and killing?”
Duan Zheng Chun was stunned and instantly felt a little disheartened.
"Alright, it's getting late. Yu 'er, you should rest.”
As he spoke, he got up and was about to leave.
"Daddy, can you take me to Tian Long Temple tomorrow?”Duan Yu hurriedly asked when he saw that he was about to leave.
" What are you doing there?" Duan Zhengchun stopped and asked." You're just a child. What are you doing there?" Martial arts battles were not child's play. If one was not careful, one's life would be in danger. It was not a place for one to play.”
"If I go, I might be able to convince the other party and reduce a dispute!”Duan Yutian said.
" No!" Duan Zhengchun shook his head." Don't mess around!" If he could convince the other party, the masters of the Heavenly Dragon Temple would naturally convince him. Do you think that after reading Buddhist scriptures for a few days, you know more about Buddhism than the masters?”
" But…" Duan Yu argued.
Without waiting for him to finish, Duan Zhengchun waved his hand and said,""In short, I can't!"
With that, he turned around and left, closing the door behind him.
"Hmph, if you don't let me go, I'll go!”Duan Yu still did not give up.
The next day.
Duan Zhengchun and Duan Zhengming sat in the carriage and rushed toward Heavenly Dragon Temple.
Halfway through, he suddenly felt something was wrong. A " bang " came from under the carriage, followed by a cry of pain.
"Aiyo…"
The two of them got out of the car and then found a person lying on the ground. Who else could it be but Duan Yu?
Duan Zhengchun glared at him and said,""Yu 'er, you're getting more and more outrageous. Why are you hiding under the carriage?”
Duan Yu rubbed his numb arm and got up. He said,""I just want to share the burden with father and uncle!”
Duan Zhengchun was furious.
"Alright, Brother Chun!" Duan Zhengming waved his hand and said. Since Yu 'er was already here, he would bring him along. There were many experts in the Heavenly Dragon Temple, so there shouldn't be any problems.”
"Alright, get in the car." Duan Zhengchun nodded helplessly." There can't be a next time."”
Duan Yu cheered and climbed into the carriage.""Long live Uncle!"
Soon, the group arrived at Heavenly Dragon Temple. They stated their intentions and reported the matter to Zen Master Ku Rong.
"Since you're here, stay and watch the battle," Ku Rong said indifferently.”
"Yes." Duan Zhengming and the other two hurriedly cupped their hands and bowed before retreating to the side.
Duan Yu looked around, curious about everything in Heavenly Dragon Temple.
"Yu 'er, don't be rude!" Duan Zhengchun reprimanded in a low voice.
Duan Yu lowered his head and sat upright.
Time passed, and it was slowly approaching noon.
Originally, because they had been cultivating Buddhism for many years, they were very patient and could endure it.
Duan Zhengming and the other two couldn't sit still anymore. Duan Yu looked outside the Muni Hall, hoping that someone would break the silence.
"The Wang family of Gusu has come to pay their respects to the eminent monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple!”
At this moment, a voice rang out, as if it was speaking to everyone.
"What a powerful youth." Ku Rong's voice wavered slightly. He extended his hand and ordered," Open the door to welcome guests!”
"Yes, sir!"
Two novice monks ran out of the Muni Hall and opened the temple door.
"Ta"
Looking out, everyone saw a young man and a young woman slowly walking over.
"So young!"
Everyone was stunned and suspected that the other party was fooling around.
However, the voice just now could not be faked.
Duan Zhengchun and Duan Zhengming looked at each other and could see the shock in each other's eyes.
To have such skills at such a young age, how impressive must the other party's family background be?
"Patron, please!"
The two young acolytes came forward and clasped their palms in greeting.
Wang Yu and A'Zhu nodded and walked inside.
"Female benefactor, please wait. Female benefactor is not allowed to enter the peaceful place of the Buddhist Sect!”
At this moment, a novice monk suddenly reached out and blocked A'Zhu's path.
