Duan Xingzhi, the present King of Dali, was appointed king of virtue by Xiang Yitian. In name, Duan Xingzhi was the leader of Dali, but in fact, he was only a puppet controlled by Gao Guozhu.

All the officials in charge of cultural relics and the important affairs of the imperial court reported to the Lord Gao first, and then decided by him, and then went to the king of justice.

Usually, he has nothing to do and is very free.

On this day, when he was drinking tea in the palace, he saw Gao Guozhu rushing in.

According to the normal etiquette, if the Lord wants to meet Xiang Yitian, he must first be informed by the internal servant. Only with the permission of Xiang Yitian, can he enter inside under the guidance of the internal servant.

Then, he should first set the king of virtue to the righteous heaven, and ask him to get up, then he can get up.

After all this, he can play his purpose to Xiang Yitian.

Lord Gao didn't do that just now. He didn't have such courtesy.

On the contrary, when xiangyitian Dingxian Wang saw that it was Gao Guozhu, he immediately got up from his chair and took the initiative to bow his hand to Gao Guozhu, saying hello politely.

With a snort in his nose, Lord Gao sat down on his own, not waiting for the order from King Dingxian.

"Tea To righteousness day fix virtuous king to follow to sit down, blunt inside the attendant to command a way.

Lord Gao took a drink and said dissatisfied, "you are very comfortable, king."

"This is your blessing, Lord." Set the way of virtuous king to the righteous heaven.

Gao Guozhu said, "king, something big has happened outside."

"Big deal?" He asked King Dingxian of Yitian

Lord Gao replied, "yes."

Then he told King Dingxian of Yitian about the recent events in Sanchong and Jinsha River.

After hearing this, Xiang Yitian kneaded his hands anxiously and asked, "what can I do?"

"King, you are the head of a country. You should have made up your mind about such an important matter." Gaoguo is the main road.

He said to Yitian, "Lord, you are always in charge of the government. It's better for you to be in charge of this matter."

"King, what do you mean by that?" After hearing this, Lord Gao asked.

Without waiting for the other party to answer, he asked, "are you complaining about the autocracy of your ministers, king?"

"I misunderstand you, Lord Gao. You don't mean that." To the king of justice.

Gao Guozhu said: "but listen to the king, that's what you mean."

"If you don't like the autocracy of the ministers, then they will not be in charge of the government from now on. "She added.

He did not really want to give up the power in his hands, but threatened to appoint a virtuous king to Yitian.

Of course, I understand the meaning.

He quickly explained: "Lord, I really don't mean that."

When he said this to the righteous king, the Lord of Gao wanted to complain about him.

He said that over the years, he had been greedy of the morning and the night, taking charge of the government for Xiang Yitian. However, many people in Dali were dissatisfied with him.

Every time he thought about it, he felt his real life was miserable.

Sometimes, things in this world are so ridiculous.

People who are not wronged pretend to be wronged a lot. People who have suffered a lot of grievances can't say that they have been wronged. Instead, they want to comfort people who pretend to be wronged.

The acting is almost finished. Lord Gao thinks it's time to finish.

He said: "I have been wronged. I'm afraid that no one knows."

"Don't worry, Lord. I understand you." Set the way of virtuous king to the righteous heaven.

After thinking about it, he said, "the army of Mongolia is developing rapidly. At present, the capital is empty. "

" I know that. " After hearing this, Lord Gao said.

He added: "king, if you have any idea, just say it directly. "

" if you want to defend the capital, you must have the strength of the capital. At present, the adjustable soldiers can only be the soldiers of the Lord you Gao's family. " Set the way of virtuous king to the righteous heaven.

In order to weaken the power of the king, most of the troops of Dali, the Lord of Gao, in various names, were included in his family's fiefdoms and became the private arms of his family.

It was in the capital city of Dali that the king of Dali sent out all the troops that he could mobilize. Only the guards who guarded him and the palace were in charge. The rest of the troops were in the hands of the Gao family.

It is because of this that the king of Dali said so.

The Lord Gao is not stupid either. He doesn't want to transfer his private arms out. In that case, the power of their Gao family's fiefdom will be weakened.

It is always a few people who are willing to cut their own flesh, but the Lord Gao is just one of the majority.

After listening to the words of the king of Dali, he immediately said, "king, the fiefdom of the minister's family is also the territory of Dali, which is equally important.""What do you say, Lord?" Asked the king of Dali.

Lord Gao replied, "there are two ways at the moment."

"In addition, we need to ask song for help." He added.

The king of Dali said, "as far as I know, the Song Dynasty was also afraid of the Mongol Khanate. I'm afraid it's useless to ask them for help."

"You are wrong to think so, my Lord." Gaoguo is the main road.

The king of Dali asked, "where is the fault?"

"If we are finished in Dali, then Mongolia can open up a new front here to deal with them. The emperor and his ministers of the Song Dynasty are not stupid. They still know that." Gaoguo is the main road.

He added: "even if they are afraid of the Mongolian Khanate and dare not send troops, they will at least provide some food and pay support."

Lord Gao is a powerful minister. He doesn't pay attention to the king of justice, but he is really a man of ability.

I have a lot of opinions about what I said just now.

After all, there is an interdependent relationship between the two countries. Once one side goes wrong, the other side will not last long.

Everything in Dali is decided by the Lord Gao.

Now that he said that, Xiang Yitian did not dare to object. He asked who was sent to Lin'an to ask for help from the great song Emperor.

The Lord of the high kingdom had a plan for a long time. After hearing the question from King Dingxian of Yitian, he immediately recommended his brother.

Dali does not want outsiders to interfere in both internal and foreign affairs.

There is no way for the righteous king to decide. He can only seal his own seal on the national documents handed over by the Lord Gao.

When the goal was achieved, Lord Gao got up and left.

Looking at Gao Guozhu's back, the servant came forward and said, "king, Gao Guozhu is really more and more arrogant."

"It's up to you." To the righteous heaven, the virtuous king has no good way.

Seeing that Xiang Yitian's face was not very good, the servant did not dare to say anything more.

There was silence in the house.

After a while, a woman came in and saluted the king, saying, "I've seen the king.

the king of justice is the queen of justice.

In this harem, there are not many people who can talk to the king of justice. The queen of justice is one.

Seeing that she was coming, he waved to the righteous king and let the queen sit beside him.

With a wave of his hand, he let the waiter out.

The queen asked, "Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?"

"I'm very upset now." To the king of justice.

When the queen came to the king, she held out a pair of jade hands and put them on his temple. While massaging him, she asked, "what's your trouble, king?"

"It's not the Lord Gao who deceived me too much." He sighed to the righteous king and said.

After hearing this, the queen said, "Your Majesty, this high Lord's family has not controlled the state affairs of Dali for only one day. Your majesty, you can only bear it now."

"You all call me to bear, but I can't bear it now." To Yi Tian Ding Xian Wang Yi Pai long case, shouts.

Pointing to the outside, the queen quickly stopped and said, "king, be careful that there are spies from the high Lord outside."

"If you die, you'll give up. Set the way of virtuous king to the righteous heaven.

The queen advised, "there will be hope if you live, but there will be nothing if you die."

"The people of Dali are counting on you." She added.

Xiang Yitian appointed King Xian: "Dali is now beset by internal and external troubles. It's really helpless."

"It's not without it." Said the queen.

After hearing this, Xiang Yitian urged the king, "queen, speak quickly. "

" the high Lord has always advocated resisting the Mongolian Khanate. If you can .。” The way that the queen wants to talk and stop.

He said to Yitian, "do you mean to let the orphan take refuge in the Mongolian Khanate and give up the country to Kublai Khan?"

"It's not that serious, king." Queen Dao

the queen once heard from the king that the main purpose of the Mongols was to use our Dali to deal with the Song Dynasty, not to destroy our Dali. On the contrary, he felt that the Lord of the high kingdom was, in a sense, the common enemy of King Xiang Yitian and the four princes Kublai Khan.

If there is a common enemy, there will be points of interest for cooperation.

He asked King Dingxian of Yitian, "you come here to talk to Gu about this, don't you?"

"Yes. "Replied the queen.

Xiang Yitian decided that the king knew that the queen was a man without insight, and could not have such insight.

Staring at the queen, he asked, "you didn't think of it yourself."

"This..."

Looking at Xiang Yitian's eyes, the queen was a little afraid, so she lowered her head."Say it." To the righteous heaven, the virtuous king told him.

He added, "don't hide it."

"Dad said it." Said the queen.

After hearing this, Xiang Yitian said, "I know that I am the abbot of the state."

In the present Dali royal court, the abbot is one of those who dare to fight against Gao Guozhu.

When he did, selfishness took up the majority.

As soon as the Lord of the kingdom of Gao tidied up with the king of justice, the Queen's position as his daughter would be lost, and naturally his position as the father-in-law would be lost.

To achieve this goal, the queen and his father are willing to pay any price.

"You are so bold that you want to cooperate with the Mongols." To the righteous king. "

he added:" I resent the Lord Gao, but the resentment between me and him is our internal affairs in Dali. How can I cooperate with the Mongols because of this? If I do this, it will not be tantamount to leading a wolf into the house. "

Don't say, Xiang Yitian's words about King Xian are quite good.

After listening, the queen felt that she did not know her own king.

After leaving Dali palace, Gao Guozhu did not go to other places, but directly returned to his residence.

In fact, the mansion built inside is more luxurious and larger than the imperial palace.

As soon as he entered the house, the housekeeper came forward and told him that his brother Gao Qiang was in the living room.

After hearing this, Lord Gao said, "I'm going to ask someone to come to him, but I don't want him to come."

"See elder brother!" see Gao Guozhu come in, Gao Qiang quickly get up from the chair, salute to Gao Guozhu, way.

Gao Guozhu said: "my brother, don't be polite."

"Just in time, I sent someone to look for you." He added.

Gao Qiang asked, "do you have something to do with me, big brother?"

"There's a big thing I need to discuss with my brother." Gao replied.

He will arrange Gao Qiang as a special envoy to go to Lin'an, the capital of the Song Dynasty, to ask for help.

I heard it was this, Gao Qiang said: "brother, in my opinion, there is no need for this.

"If the Mongols occupy the capital of Dali, they will. It's better for us to go back to our own fiefdom and run the small world of our Gao family." He added.

Gao Guozhu said, "you are so beautiful."

"If there is no skin, how can Mao attach himself? Don't you understand that?" He asked again.

It seems that he and Dali's Xiang Yitian Dingxian Wang have the same idea of overall situation.

Gao Qiang is the leader of Gao Guozhu. Although they are brothers, Gao Guozhu is much stronger than Gao Guozhu. Gao Guozhu has brought up Gao Gaozhu. Although he is arrogant outside, he dare not be unrestrained in front of her brother, Gao Guozhu.

"I'll listen to you, brother." He replied immediately.

Gao Guozhu said, "that's right."

With that, he handed the seal to his brother Gao Qiang.

Gao Qiang took it over and asked, "brother, when shall I start?"

"Tomorrow morning, you'll start with your entourage." And the high Lord commanded him.

Gao Qiang asked, "in such a hurry?"

"Now the Mongols are all under pressure. Of course they are in a hurry." Gaoguo is the main road.

He added: "this time we go to the capital of the Song Dynasty. That's to ask others. You must bring more good things from Dali."

"Don't worry, brother. I'll prepare." High strength road.

Gao Guozhu said, "how are you going to deliver these things?"

"Of course, as a tribute to the emperor of the Song Dynasty." Gao Qiang replied.

After hearing this, Lord Gao said, "nonsense!"

"When I went to Lin'an, the first thing I did was to meet the prime minister Jia Sidao and give him most of the tribute." He added.

Gao Qiang was reminded by his elder brother, and then he woke up. He said thanks and went to prepare for tomorrow's trip.
