The three-way envoys from Dali can be said to be very happy, and on the surface, they have achieved their goals, but Duan Xiaofeng and Shi Yalan stayed, and Shi Yajing, the princess of Dali, left the imperial capital after confirming that she was pregnant.

When Shi Yajing returned to Dali, he was escorted by an army of 100,000, and this kind of strong entry brought great deterrence to the high volume of the Baiman tribe and Shi Ermeng of the Wuman tribe, but the mood of the two people was different.

Shi Ermeng's expectations in the heart of the Wu Barbarian Department are not very high, as long as he can get the weapons and armor of the Great Han, he will definitely be able to defeat the White Barbarian Department and expand his territory. As long as he defeats the White Barbarian Department, he can be the Minister of State to suppress the high amount of Cheng, he has never thought of being a soldier king, of course, the situation of the Barbarian Department is destined to be impossible to be a king, after all, Dali is composed of countless tribes. The relatively backward and barbaric barbarian tribe will not be able to control the overall situation and become the king in any case, in which case Dali will definitely have civil strife.

Moreover, Princess Shi Yajing controls the court situation, and it is impossible for Shi Ermeng, as a father, to oppose it. Besides, you have to count on the Han to provide weapons and armor to fight against the White Barbarian tribe. For Shi Ermeng, the leader of the Wuman tribe, defeating and annihilating the feuding White Barbarian tribe was much more important than being the king.

One family is happy, and the other is sad.

Shi Ermeng of the Wuman Department was happy, but the leader of the Baiman tribe who invaded the Song Dynasty, the prime minister Gao Chengke was worried, he didn't know about Sui Shengdong's trip to the imperial capital, and Zishi knew that if King Duan Zhilian got the support of the Han Dynasty, coupled with the allegiance of the Wuman tribe, in this case, it was likely to turn the tables directly, and at that time, his entire family and even the Baiman tribe would suffer a catastrophe.

Gao Liangcheng, who went to the black, began to plan for the worst, and decided to wait for the Great Song Dynasty to send troops to help, and then attack first to destroy the barbarian department and defeat the biggest supporter behind Duan Zhilian.

The terrain of Dali is complicated, and Gao Liangcheng believes that before the situation in Dali is clear, the Han army should not directly intervene, so he must destroy the barbarian department as quickly as possible. It's just that now the barbarian department has obtained the weapons and armor of the Han State, if it is forcibly exterminated, it can only be a defeat for both sides, and what can be done now is to temporarily truce with the king, and wait for the arrival of the Song army, with the help of the Song army to destroy the barbarian department.

I also have to say that Gao Shouzhen still has the ability, this guy is still foolish with his three-inch tongue or the Great Song Emperor Zhao Gou sent 10,000 troops to help, of course, this is also the closest place to Dali, provided that the military expenses are paid by Dali.

After Gao Shouzhen's flying pigeon passed the book, Gao Chengcheng asked his son Gao Shouchang to lead 30,000 warriors of the White Barbarian Department to greet him, and then 40,000 troops to exterminate the Wu Barbarian Department, and personally solve Duan Zhilian, since it has come to this point, first destroy this puppet emperor, and then choose a new king.

The Gao family has only been a powerful minister in the past dynasties, controlling the court situation, and has never thought of usurping the throne, and Gao Liangcheng is of course no exception. This time, he handed over the task of seizing the palace to Sui Shengdong, and waited for the good news at home.

After receiving the task, Gao Shouchang found his uncle Sui Shengdong overnight, and this guy said a little eagerly: "Uncle, does the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty really want to support me as the king of Dali, then why do you want to sell weapons and armor to the Barbarian Department?" ”

"Jun has no jokes, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty promised that the one who controls the court situation can be the king, all this still depends on whether you can finally control the court situation, if you can't control it, it is to crown you as the king of Dali, and you can't sit still!" Sui Shengdong's face showed a sinister smile, and he said unhurriedly: "10,000 elite soldiers have been secretly stationed in the Wuman tribe, and when the time comes, they will join forces with your white barbarian warriors to destroy the Wuban tribe." Your father has already asked me to solve Duan Zhilian, but he means to set up a new monarch and has no intention of replacing him. ”

"Uncle, you can kill that old thing for me." Gao Shouchang was completely disappointed in his father, and he said gloomily: "After the old thing dies, all those who disobey the discipline will be killed, and no one will be left." By the way, get the princess into my room, and I'm going to enjoy it. ”

As soon as the princess was mentioned, Gao Shouchang's face showed an evil smile, as if the snow-white jade was smooth and delicate in front of him.

"Wouldn't it be more wonderful to be on the dragon's bed?" Sui Shengdong secretly slandered in his heart, the princess has been pregnant with the dragon seed of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, you are a turtle is like a turtle, isn't it looking for death.

Sui Shengdong secretly entered the palace the next day to meet King Duan Zhilian.

Sure enough, it was a poor dagger, a rebellious minister and thief with wolf ambitions, Duan Zhilian had long been fed up with the Gao family's father and son, and after listening to Sui Shengdong's speech, he asked with a little puzzlement: "You are Gao Shouchang's uncle, why do you want to betray the Gao family's allegiance to Gu?" ”

"Rebels and thieves, everyone will be punished."

Sui Shengdong can't say that he is a courtier of the Han Dynasty, at this time, Princess Shi Yajing said with a smile: "It was the concubine who persuaded the Sui Qing family to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, after all, Your Majesty, you have obtained the self-control of the Han Emperor, and you are still orthodox, and you have the greatest victory, how can the Sui Qing family continue to sit on the broken ship of the Gao family that is about to sink to the bottom?" ”

Yes, he is orthodox and the king of Dali, no matter what, the Gao family is a chaotic minister and thief. Duan Zhilian's confidence increased greatly, and he said to Princess Shi Yajing: "Aifei, with the weapons and armor provided by the Han Kingdom, can your Black Barbarian Department defeat the White Barbarian Department?" You must know that once the war is lost, the Gao family will definitely fight back. ”

"The strength of the Barbarian Department is comparable to that of the White Barbarian Department, but the warriors of the Barbarian Department are more courageous, and with the weapons of the Great Han, the armor can be said to be like a tiger with wings, and the odds of victory are great. However, in the White Barbarian Department, there are 10,000 Song troops participating in the war, Your Majesty, the 5,000 elite soldiers loyal to you will also participate in the war, so the chances of victory are greater. Shi Yajing's face was filled with a happy smile, this happiness only she knows, is she about to control the entire Dali, can she not be happy, and finally she said: "Your Majesty, should you listen to the plan of the Sui Qing family first and see how you should prepare." ”

"Yes, Qing family, you can tell me."

"Your Majesty, the princess, and the minister's plan is like this." Sui Shengdong's heart was sad for the dying king, and he sorted out his thoughts and said: "The first step is to close the city gate and surround the palace after the imperial city guards leave the city according to the plan agreed with the old thief, and then force you to write an abdication edict. The second step is to go to the old thief and ask him to come to the palace in person to accept your abdication and receive the seal. And then strangle it within Miyagi. ”

Duan Zhilian always felt that something was wrong, and he said with a little doubt: "Abdication edict, isn't this a way to abdicate?" ”

"If not, how can you trick Lao Tzu into entering the palace? Only in the royal palace you have the only chance to kill it, it is impossible outside. As long as he killed Gao Liangcheng, the old thief, then the abdication edict would have no meaning, and besides, it was not stamped with a seal, it was just a dead letter. ”

"No, you have to do a full set of plays, let's stamp it, if the old thief has doubts, everything will get out of control." Duan Zhilian knew that now he had to send an arrow, this time there was no way out, if he failed, he and even the entire family would be uprooted, and whether the abdication edict was written or not, he would have to abdicate, so why bother with this matter and cause unnecessary trouble for himself?

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and now all forces are carefully preparing, and a big war is about to break out. The 30,000 troops in the barbarian department were killed, and the great ghost king Shi Ermeng personally led the army to the battle, and all the sons went into battle to kill the enemy, leaving the second daughter Shi Yayun, who had strong combat effectiveness, to stay behind.

Shi Ermeng didn't think about involving the Han army, he firmly believed that he could get rid of the White Barbarian Division, and this ignorant self-confidence was only because of the addition of weapons and armor, which can be said to be extremely stupid.

In fact, for many years, the black barbarian department represented by Shi Ermeng has always been a little unconvinced, always thinking that the white barbarian department is not good at combat power, and it is purely relying on weapons and armor to gain the upper hand. Now that the Black Barbarians have weapons and armor, it can be said that they will definitely be able to crush the White Barbarians. Hey, it's really curiosity that kills the cat, and this simple-minded guy has to pay for his stupidity.

Gao Shouchang led 30,000 white barbarian warriors to the expedition, ostensibly to pick up Gao Shouzhen and 10,000 Song troops, but in fact, he wanted to strangle them, but this guy had an extra heart on the way to travel, that is, not to strangle the Song army first, and the Song army to strangle the barbarian department, and then destroy this Han army.

Five thousand royal guards also went out of the city in the early morning of the Dragon Boat Festival in May of the third year of Shenlong, this army went out of the city for less than an hour, the gate of Dali City was closed, the whole city was under martial law, and a large number of private soldiers of the Gao family surrounded the palace.

After Sui Shengdong killed the guards at the palace gate, he led his own soldiers into the palace strongly.

Duan Zhilian looked at Sui Shengdong, who had broken into the palace, and roared, "You, do you want to rebel?" ”

"I don't dare to rebel, I just hope that Your Majesty will abdicate." Sui Shengdong's face was full of coldness, and although the scimitar at his waist was not unsheathed, it was still murderous.

"Presumptuous, rebel thief." Duan Zhilian looked a little angry, and he seemed a little incoherent when he spoke.

It was still Princess Shi Yajing who was calm, she said coldly: "There is no good end for the rebellious ministers and thieves, today's forcing the palace is a good show planned by Gao Liangcheng, why didn't he come?" ”

"Is it necessary to let the prime minister come?" Sui Shengdong's scimitar was half drawn, and a cold light shot out from the scabbard, and it seemed that if Duan Zhilian inked again, he would kill the king.

"Your Majesty, let's abdicate the throne, otherwise this group of thieves will not give up." At this time, Queen Gao Yuyuan walked out from behind, and her appearance shocked everyone present.

The twenty-two-year-old queen Gao Yuyuan is the daughter of Gao Liangcheng, the younger sister of Gao Shouchang, and became the queen at the age of fifteen, but Duan Zhilian hated the Gao family in his heart, and let this former No. 1 beauty in Dali stay alone in the empty room on the night of candles in the cave room.

Over the years, everyone has forgotten about the gorgeous and frosty queen Gao Yuyuan, as if there is only the princess Shi Yajing in the palace, and there is no queen Gao Yuyuan.

Today, Gao Yuyuan's appearance is indeed unexpected. In fact, when she was very young, Gao Yuyuan knew that sooner or later, when she married into the palace, she would have the humility in her heart to keep the empty house alone, but she didn't expect to be alone in the empty house for seven years, and she hated Duan Zhilian in her heart.

Gao Yuyuan, who was growing with resentment in her heart, was dreaming of waiting for this day to come, waiting for Duan Zhilian, a guy with no conscience, to abdicate, and waiting for the Gao family to force the palace. I didn't expect this day to finally come, in this case, she walked out in a grand queen's costume, and after seeing her uncle Sui Shengdong, she said: "Your Majesty will abdicate, let my father enter the palace to receive the national seal." ”

It was really drowsy that someone sent a pillow, and Sui Shengdong originally felt that it was a bit abrupt to invite Gao Liangcheng into the palace, for fear that Gao Liangcheng would find out that it was not a docking and refused to enter the palace. Now with Gao Yuyuan's divine assistance, Gao Liangcheng can't even think of it.

Now that the arrow has to be sent, Duan Zhilian's eyes were tearful, and he trembled and wrote the edict of abdication, which means that he is not worthy of the throne and has no face to continue to be the emperor, so he abdicates.

After Sui Shengdong got the edict of abdication, he said to Queen Gao Yuyuan: "Queen, otherwise, you should follow Weichen out of the palace first." ”

"It's fine." One day husband and wife, although her heart is full of hatred, but Gao Yuyuan really doesn't want to see Duan Zhilian's head in a different place, Bing Xue is smart, she knows that it is impossible for the emperor who is inferior to the throne to live, no matter what, after all, they are husband and wife, and they are still out of sight.

Gao Yuyuan pondered for a long time and said, "Uncle, I don't want to go home, let's go to your house first." ”

"It's fine." Sui Shengdong made up his mind, that is, to send Gao Yuyuan to the imperial capital as soon as possible, so that this innocent child can stay away from this storm, and the identity of the queen of Dali makes Gao Yuyuan, who is stunning and captivating, have the opportunity to enter the palace to serve the emperor, which is also a good thing for himself.

Gao Yuyuan didn't think about it so much, and before she returned to her uncle's house and hadn't rested for a quarter of an hour, a beautiful woman in a strong suit wearing Han clothes walked into the room, and she said coldly in her heart: "Who are you and what do you want to do?" ”

"Yan Ruyu, the commander of the 'Fire Phoenix' southwest region under the command of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, as for what I'm here for, let's talk slowly."

Yan Ruyu was not worried at all about Gao Yuyuan breaking out, and even less worried that he would call people, because the entire Sui Mansion was a Han army, in other words, three thousand Han troops had entered the city under Sui Shengdong's arrangement, and they were waiting for the final action, and she was the person in charge of this battle to seize the palace.

Gao Yuyuan is the queen after all, and she is from a powerful family, so she can still recognize the situation clearly, she said coldly: "My uncle is your person? ”

Bing Xue was smart and Gao Yuyuan immediately understood that something was wrong, since his uncle was a spy of the Han Kingdom, it was obvious that this change in seizing the palace was calculated, and it seemed that his father and the entire Gao family would be in big trouble. At this time, she was still full of illusions, hoping that things would not be as bad as she imagined.
