"Two pieces of jade, ten catties of gold, 100 catties of silver, and three Hepu pearls? Lord Zhang, how many pearls did Your Majesty reward the king of Rencheng County? Gongsun Sheng suddenly smiled.

"Eighteen Hepu pearls, each the size of a thumb." Zhang Xiaochun smiled bitterly: "There are five feet of coral trees rewarded by His Majesty on the minister's mansion, which is very rare!" In this way, the tribute paid by Dali is really not very good. ”

"In that case, can you be rude?" Gongsun Sheng said with a smile: "The minister thinks that Bashu can be down overnight, but once Bashu is captured, the soldiers and horses of the king of Rencheng County have nothing to do, Jingxiang is eager to do it, the army should go south and enter Dali, at this time Dali is in chaos, the Dali royal family and the state are fighting each other, the king is not the king, and the phase is not the phase." The dragons in the army have no leader, and they just need to solve it together. ”

Duan Mingcheng and Gao Zhenyuan didn't expect that disaster would fall from the sky. When he came to meet Li Jing in his life, not only did he not bring any benefits to himself, but in the end, it would cause the imperial army to attack, and disaster fell from the sky.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there are still gifts, I still have gifts in Dali, but they are just placed in the pavilion, and please let Your Majesty know." Duan Mingcheng suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to offer the Pearl of Erhai Lake, and I also ask Your Majesty to forgive your sins." ”

Gao Zhenyuan's face changed when he heard this, his eyes flashed with anger, and his fists were clenched tightly, but he knew that this was the most correct choice, to send a woman, and avoid the Tang army from attacking Dali, although he was very reluctant in his heart, Gao Zhenyuan had no way.

"The Pearl of Erhai Lake? I once heard that King Dali had a daughter who was called the Pearl of Erhai Lake? Li Jing suddenly smiled.

"Exactly, the sister has heard of His Majesty's wisdom for a long time, and this time she followed the minister to serve Your Majesty." Duan Mingcheng felt bitter in his heart, and only at this time did he realize that Li Jing's shamelessness was beyond his expectations, but thinking about it, he will also be Li Jing's brother-in-law in the future, which will be much better for his life in Dali.

"Since there is a pearl to give, Lord Gongsun, forget it!" Li Jing said with a smile: "Pass the decree and crown Duan Baifeng, the lord of Dali County, as the concubine." Before this, Li Jing had a very clear grasp of Duan Baifeng's situation, and even knew that Duan Baifeng was born with a strange fragrance, so he would seal the other party as Xiangfeng at this time.

Gao Zhenyuan's body trembled, as long as he was not a fool at this time, he understood that Li Jing had actually fallen in love with Duan Baifeng a long time ago, otherwise, he would not have crowned the other party as Concubine Xiang, and everyone's words just now were just pretending to be white and red-faced, and the final result was to force Dali to give Duan Baifeng to Li Jing, and also make outsiders speechless.

But even if you know it, can you resist? Gongsun Sheng has a good saying, as long as the land of Bashu is solved, the Tang army will be able to enter Dali in an instant, and how will Dali deal with this matter at that time, even the rebellion within his own family cannot be solved, how to deal with Li Jing's army.

Thinking of the end, Gao Zhenyuan didn't even know how he got out of the palace, looked around, but didn't see Duan Mingcheng's figure, his face changed, and he couldn't help but ask the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army around him.

"Dare to ask where the prince of Dali is?" In the end, it is in Beijing, although the Gao family is very famous in Dali and is rampant, but in Bianjing, any official is tender to trouble him, let alone the Imperial Forest Army.

"Your Majesty has summoned, and your lord can wait outside the palace." The soldier of the Imperial Forest Army did not hide it, and said: "It was Gao Zhan's father-in-law who personally led it." "Since it was Gao Zhan who personally led it, it must have been summoned by His Majesty.

"Oh, oh!" Gao Zhenyuan's face tightened, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes, although he didn't know what Li Jing summoned Duan Mingcheng for, he always had a bad feeling in his heart.

And when he arrived at the pavilion, he knew that Duan Baifeng had been admitted to the palace, and the momentum was extremely huge, not only did he have a holy decree, but also the queen mother personally sent someone to send the seal and robes, which can be said to be a step to the sky.

"Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! Duan Mingcheng, Duan's, hehe, when I become the minister of Dali, I will also learn from the appearance of my ancestors and drive you off the throne, this Dali throne was originally our Gao family, I will kill your Duan family. Gao Zhenyuan felt a burst of resentment in his heart, his eyes were red, and at this time, he was full of hatred for the Dali Duan family.

And at this moment, Duan Mingcheng in the palace doesn't know this, even if he knows, I'm afraid he won't care about anything, the world is so big, how many people can walk freely in the palace like himself, and can chat with a male lord like Li Jing! The high-ranking Tang Emperor was no longer majestic at this time, but amiable, and treated himself as if he were his own family, which made him feel unreal.

"I have known about you and Gao Zhenyuan's coming to Beijing for a long time, and I have not summoned you, just because I don't know the situation in Dali, Dali is a beautiful place, your Duan family has been sitting in the southwest border for many years, and they are extremely merciful to the people under their rule, which I appreciate very much, which is one of the reasons why I summoned you." Li Jing is kind and pleasant.

"The ancestors thanked Your Majesty for their praise, the Duan family was originally just a child of the Central Plains, even if he became the lord of the country, he didn't dare to forget his identity, he was kind to the people, and he didn't dare to enslave the people in the country." Duan Mingcheng was excited, he didn't expect that the Duan family's years of operation could be exchanged for such an evaluation from Li Jing, which made him very happy in his heart.

"The dispute between the Duan clan and the Gao clan is already known to everyone in the world, all the power in Dali is in the hands of the Gao clan, your father is a good lord, but unfortunately, he is not a good emperor. His situation is sympathetic, which is also the reason why I want to accept Concubine Xiang, and I hope that you can use my name to shock the country, solve the Gao family as soon as possible, and restore a stable situation in the southwest. Li Jing said with relief.

In fact, is the situation really as Li Jing said? No king is a benevolent person, Li Jing dominates the world, and it is impossible to help Dali so much, the more chaotic Dali is, the more good it is for a male lord like Li Jing, how can he give up the benefits because of a woman. Such words are just to deceive people like Duan Mingcheng who have never seen the world, if Duan Zhengyan or Gao Liangcheng are here, they will definitely feel suspicious. Unfortunately, it's not them here.

"Your Majesty is merciful, the ministers and the Duan family will never forget each other, and the Duan family of Dali is willing to be a subordinate of the Tang Dynasty forever and will never betray." Duan Mingcheng couldn't help but kneel on the ground and swear, his voice choked, he thought of the shame suffered by the ancestors of the Duan clan in Dali, and he was even more grateful to Li Jing's words in his heart, but he didn't see a trace of disdain on the corner of Li Jing's mouth.
