Chapter 37: Usurpation
The banquet was held in the Taiji Palace, this was a family banquet in the Gao family clan, except for a few who were really sick and let Wang Shizi do the work for him, almost all the remaining princes were present. Empress Dowager Hu also dressed up before the banquet and set up a table on the side of Cushman & Wakefield.
The Gao family, the old and young, almost all of them are here, first shouting long live to Gao Wei Mountain, and then entering the table in turn, Empress Dowager Hu turned her head to look at Gao Wei, only to see Gao Wei's face smiling banquet, warm and warm, Empress Dowager Hu's heart suddenly ached, and she turned her head and did not dare to look again.
Gao Wei looked around and asked strangely, "Why is Renwei (Gao Yan's cousin) missing?" ”
The kings also searched everywhere, but there was no trace of King Langya. Not only did King Langya disappear, but even King Lanling and King Ande disappeared, but Gao Wei did not ask questions, and the kings of the Gao family only made other arrangements for Gao Wei.
Empress Dowager Hu hurriedly explained: "He's not feeling well, and he said that he would come back later......" Gao Wei didn't bother to expose this kind of lie, "um", and said: "Then you don't have to wait for him first", and then announced that the song and dance will be held, and the banquet will begin!
The palace maids came up to the main hall with heavy makeup, barefoot, revealing a pair of heavenly feet, dancing on the red carpet, red lings flying all over the sky, like gods, more than the stage performances of later generations I don't know how many ranks, the lotus arm is lightly raised, the slender waist is only a hand, it looks pleasing to the eye, the dance posture is also very beautiful, the music cells of the Gao family are aroused by this, some of them caress their beards and watch the song and dance, casually comment on the rhythm, and some people have begun to beat the jade bowl with ivory chopsticks, such as a jade plate falling with beads.
The atmosphere of the banquet was lively for a while, Gao Wei was also a musical emperor in the past, and now he just praised "good", and then slowly sucked a cup of sweet wine, I don't know why, even though Empress Dowager Hu had already noticed that her son was different from before, but she still felt panicked in her heart.
[Did Wei'er notice something? 】
Empress Dowager Hu tried hard to see something from Gao Wei's expression, but Gao Wei was so happy that she couldn't see anything. Gao Wei noticed that Empress Dowager Hu was looking at him in secret, and turned his head and smiled: "Why is the Queen Mother patronizing me?" Drinking, it's rare to be so lively once a year! ”
Empress Dowager Hu smiled, raised her wine glass, and drank all the wine in the glass, and the whole house applauded.
[It seems that I am thinking too much......]
But the thought of what might happen tonight still hurts her heart.
[No matter what you say later, I won't agree with him moving a single hair! ] Empress Dowager Hu thought to herself, but she didn't think about whether Gao Yan would take what she said as the same thing.
In any case, this fight cannot be avoided!
Gao Wei wants to take this opportunity to pull out King Langya and all the forces standing behind him against Gao Wei in one fell swoop, and completely consolidate his foundation in the court! There can only be one voice in the court of Northern Qi, and one person has the final say!
As long as he can regenerate Northern Qi from the ashes, even if he is allowed to kill ordinary people from all over the world, he will not hesitate!
If you can't respect a hundred if you kill one, then I will kill one hundred and respect a hundred! Drive 100,000 warriors and kill all the people in the world!
Gao Wei, of course, knew what would happen after the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Gao royal family would be slaughtered and nailed to the pillar of shame.
Empress Dowager Hu took her daughter-in-law Mu Huanghua and became a prostitute!
The winner is the king, and the loser is the loser!
Because Empress Dowager Hu is the queen mother of the deceased monarch, her unbearable and her scandal has been magnified countless times by the world!
Isn't Fu Jian's queen mother also a slut?
Above board, is that more out of line than Empress Dowager Hu? But no one dared to say a word!
Why? Because Fu Jian is a hero, a hero who swept the north! No one dared to mention it but himself!
History has always been written by the victors, no matter how much Empress Dowager Hu and Mu Huanghua do not cultivate their personal virtues, but with their former identities, they will never voluntarily fall into the dust and become prostitutes! But they didn't dare, they didn't dare to resist in the Northern Zhou Yuwen clan! Even the Gao clan was killed, how could two poor women dare to resist!
The Yuwen clan wants to make the most noble woman in the Northern Qi Dynasty a plaything, to tear off the last bit of dignity of the Gao family, and to make the dynasty created by Gao Huan and Gao Shenwu become a laughing stock for the ages!
Yuwen Yong was ruthless and poisonous, but the Northern Qi Dynasty was becoming more and more corrupt, and there was no power to fight back, and the three pillars that supported the army of the Northern Qi Dynasty fell one by one under the hands of the Empress of Qi!
Duan Shao was seriously ill and died, Hu Luguang was beheaded by the whole house, and Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, was given a glass of wine to death!
There were also endless peasant uprisings and natural disasters, infighting between Xianbei nobles and Han families, and the invasion of the Northern Zhou, Turkic and Goguryeo, all of which led to the collapse of the Northern Qi Dynasty in less than 30 years!
This history must not be repeated in his hands! Never!
Gao Wei stared at the clear wine syrup, the wine reflected his deep eyes, and the green tendons on the back of the hand holding the wine glass burst out!
Cushman & Wakefield drank it all on his back.
This wine is stronger than a storm and colder than a snowstorm!
"Newspaper!! ......" A shrill voice pierced the singing and dancing in the Taiji Hall!
"Your Majesty, the patrol battalion in the city is here! King Langya, he's reversed! King Langya, he's reversed! Yes! ——”
The eunuch screamed, and behind him, a forbidden soldier in iron armor came over at some point and stabbed the long knife into the eunuch's back.
The white knife went in, the red knife came out, and the dripping blood slowly dripped from the sword.
He pushed the corpse to the ground, pulled out the knife, and his face was full of arrogance and fanaticism.
Then the forbidden troops on duty in the hall all pulled out their long knives, not aimed at this presumptuous guy in the Taiji Palace, but aimed the long knives at the full hall of the prince and Gao Wei on the throne!
"You guys! - "The kings looked at these forbidden soldiers in anger, their minds were stunned for a moment, and then they realized that these people were thieves!
They want to rebel!
The Praetorian Army rushed up and aimed their swords at Cushman & Wakefield.
Empress Dowager Hu got down from her seat with a disastrous face, pressed her trembling hand on Gao Wei's shoulder, and said, "Wei'er, you abdicate......"
The whole hall was in an uproar!
[The Queen Mother and King Langya are one party! The kings now understand, [The Queen Mother helped King Langya usurp the throne!] 】
Gao Wei just smiled, turned his head to look at Empress Dowager Hu's red eyes, and asked, "What if I don't agree?" ”
Cushman & Wakefield smiled freely, resolute and resolute, and didn't seem to plan to bow his head. It's just that in the eyes of everyone else, the smile is extremely bitter, with deep disappointment and reluctance.
Empress Dowager Hu comforted: "Give up Wei'er, you can't win the ......, I have already discussed with Yan'er, as long as you take the initiative to abdicate, he promises not to kill you, you can still be your own prince of peace......"
"Heh," Gao Wei laughed sarcastically, "Prince Taiping? Did the queen mother say that there was a hundred years like Gao Yin? ”
Gao Yin was imprisoned and died, and Gao Bainian was beaten to death by Gao Zhan.
What happened to Gao Wei after the abdication, doesn't Empress Dowager Hu know? !
"You, don't worry, I will not let him touch a single hair of you even if I take you with me every day! ……”
Empress Dowager Hu said anxiously, before the words fell, a person stood up, pointed at Empress Dowager Hu angrily and scolded: "Crazy woman! Do you want the Great Qi to overturn? ”
This person has prominent cheekbones and is skinny, but he is in good spirits, and his tiger eyes are full of anger, it is Gao Rui, the king of Zhaojun.
"Bold, how dare you call the Queen Mother a crazy woman?!" A forbidden army general drew a sword and aimed it at Gao Rui, Gao Rui was not afraid at all, pointed at him and scolded: "You group of rebels and thieves! It won't end well! ”
The general smiled sarcastically and said, "I'll send you on your way first!" "Raise your knife and cut off Gao Rui's head!
The kings couldn't bear to close their eyes, and when the steel knife was about to cut Gao Rui's neck, the general's arm suddenly broke, and blood sprayed half of Gao Rui's body! The general screamed, and then the screams stopped abruptly, for his head had been cut off with a sharp scythe!
[What's going on?] The kings raised their heads, only to see countless flying sickles tied with ropes spinning all over the sky, whistling and dancing, piercing into the throat, chest and abdomen of the forbidden army! Countless blood-colored demon flowers bloom on them!
…………
Outside the Thousand Autumn Gate.
King Langya looked up at the tall tower, and Kudifulian shouted a switch, and the tall city gate covered with copper nails creaked and slowly opened.
In front of it was a dark palace road, with only a few lanterns hanging pitifully on the palace walls on both sides.
Passing through it, you can go directly to the Taiji Hall!
King Langya clutched the Qinglong Glaive long knife in his hand, glanced back, and more than 4,000 people stood together in black, with a murderous aura of attacking the city and destroying the mountain!
These are the private soldiers of the nobles who have taken refuge in him, and they will follow him into the palace tonight to help him accomplish his great cause.
"Did the Western Camp and the Northern Camp do it?"
"Your Highness Qiqi, according to the hour, it is estimated that it has already started!"
"Okay, after entering Yecheng, first take down King Ande and King Lanling, there are still more than 7,000 soldiers and horses in the patrol camp of Taiwei's Mansion, which is also a trouble."
"Well, the minister will order someone to inform them!"
"Good ......" King Langya rose suddenly, the green dragon knife pointed forward, with a concussive sound that pierced the air, the wind was thunderous, lucky, and shouted:
"-Attack!!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!! "These people poured into Qianqiu Gate like a tide!
