I don’t know if I have a premonition, but in the nervousness and fear of the palace, Gao Shengtai, who had been in a coma for several days, actually woke up.

Gao Shengtai slowly opened his eyes and tilted his head to look at the bed.

Beside the bed, his concubine and her son Gao Taiming stood.

"Your Majesty..." The concubine in her early thirties called softly, her face filled with tears.

Gao Taiming, who was older than this noble concubine, also stared at Gao Shengtai with a nervous look on his face and said, "Father..."

Gao Shengtai let out a sigh of relief. Although he felt his head hurt, he still said, "It's okay, I can't die in a while, but there are some things I have to tell you."

Gao Taiming quickly stepped forward two steps, came to the bed, and said with a nervous look on his face: "Father, please tell me."

Gao Shengtai looked at him, his lips moved, as if he was hesitant, but he said, "I can still suppress those people when I am alive. Even if I die, you can't suppress them. If I die, they will raise troops to rebel. You lack prestige and ability, and you can't be the emperor."

Bu Xie, also known as the prime minister, often called himself "Bu Xie" during the rebellion and usurpation of the throne in the Dali Kingdom.

The three generations of the Gao family have all worked as Bu Xie, Gao Shengtai has worked as his father, and now, so has his son.

Gao Taiming felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Gao Shengtai say this, but he also knew that he was indeed incapable of inheriting the throne, and his expression was a little awkward.

Although he knew that he could not suppress the situation, it was the throne. If he didn't try it, who would be willing to give up like this?

Now Dali seems calm, but in fact it is as tight as a bow, and something big may happen at any time!

Not to mention that the Duan family has been in power for hundreds of years, just talking about Dali Country, although the Gao family is dominant, it does not mean that other nobles have no power.

They are already preparing for the army, they have lost several times before, but are now dormant, waiting for opportunities.

Once Gao Shengtai dies, that is a great opportunity for them!

He told Gao Shengtai that he didn't know his son. He was a little serious and said, "After I die, you will take the initiative to return the Duan family to the Duan family and reach an agreement with Duan family that my Gao family will be Bu Xie for generations and the uncrowned king. This is the best way to avoid disasters and retain my Gao family's power."

Gao Taiming was still a little unwilling to give up and said, "Father, your health is getting better, there is no need to say this. Who dares to act rashly in one day?"

Gao Sheng Taitou felt more and more painful, and he said, "If you are..."

Before he finished speaking, a man in the official uniform of an eunuch looked like a eunuch, hurriedly ran in, even fell at the door, and shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty, something happened, something happened, the Song people are calling..."

"What!"

Gao Shengtai almost sat up from the bed and fell half of it.

The imperial concubine was frightened and hurriedly went to help her.

Gao Taiming was even more panicked and said anxiously: "Song people, what Song people have called, make it clear!"

The eunuch knelt on the ground, ignored Gao Taiming, and said anxiously to Gao Shengtai: "It's the Song army, they have arrived at the city, they are cavalry, cavalry, and there are ten thousand cavalry..."

Gao Shengtai's breath was rapid and he said in a deep voice: "Help me up, I'm going to the top of the city."

The imperial concubine hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you just woke up..."

Gao Shengtai ignored it, looked at Gao Taiming and said, "The whole city is on guard, let the eldest son-in-law, the eldest son-in-law, and the chief minister come to see me."

Gao Taiming didn't dare to say more and responded quickly.

At the same time, news that the Song army was at the city had spread throughout Dali City.

The officials in the city were extremely panicked and ran around, and rumors were flying all over the sky.

Gao Shengtai was held up and came to the city gate and looked down.

I saw a nearly 10,000 cavalry standing neatly not far away, with the flag of the Song Dynasty flying.

Gao Taiming stood behind Gao Shengtai with an iron expression and said, "Father, some people spread rumors in the city, and some people set fire to it."

Gao Shengtai coughed a little, his eyes were red, and cold sweats continued to emerge from his head in the hot wind, saying, "Nothing strange. I can still guess that some people are probably already contacting the Song army, or even mobilizing the army."

Internal and external troubles!

Gao Taiming felt panic, his lips squirmed, but he couldn't speak.

Gao Shengtai looked at the cavalry for a while and said, "Is there any news everywhere?"

Gao Taiming was stunned and said, "What is Father's referring to?"

Gao Shengtai was very disappointed with his son, and said silently for a while: "These ten thousand cavalrymen can't do anything. I'm afraid there will be a large army behind them, and it won't take long to arrive."

Gao Taiming's face turned pale and said, "Father, how many Song troops are there? Can we deal with it? I heard that two years ago, the Song army attacked Li Xia and defeated Li Xia's 300,000 troops!"

Gao Shengtai naturally knew that the Liao people, Li Xia, and Tubo had sent people to lobby him and asked him to join in the attack on the Song State.

He refused.

He never thought that he refused to join the alliance to attack the Song people, and the Song people sent troops to attack him.

Seeing Gao Shengtai silent, Gao Taiming couldn't help but say, "Father, the Song army said that it was to 'strike against the rebellion and support the Duan family', should we do the best..."

Gao Shengtai turned his head to look at Gao Taiming, and saw that he looked cruel and self-evident - killing Duan's family.

Gao Shengtai became more and more disappointed with his son and wanted to say something else. He suddenly started to cough violently. Even with two soldiers supporting him, he still had to fall down.

"Father, father..." Gao Taiming was frightened and hurriedly helped Gao Shengtai.

"Return to the palace." Gao Shengtai said with a pale face and a rapid breath.

Gao Taiming nodded repeatedly and said anxiously: "Hurry and hurry up, send your father back to the palace."

Gao Shengtai was surrounded by people and rushed back to the palace in a hurry.

Under the city gate, less than ten miles away, there were many Song troops, and their swords were unsheathed.

The deputy general manager stood beside the middle of the Zong Division and whispered: "General manager, do you want to send troops?"

Zhong Shizhong said lightly: "Don't worry, let them brew their emotions. We will divide our troops and walk around the city later."

"The last one understands." The deputy general manager understood that this was a common method to attack the city.

Gao Shengtai was placed on the hospital bed again. He coughed continuously. After the imperial physician fed the medicine, he felt more comfortable and his breath became much more stable.

Beside his bed, there was no imperial concubine. He was a senior executive of Dali Country, including several Bu Xie, Gao royal family, and several major figures in the army.

Gao Shengtai calmed down for a while, turned his head, swept over the group of people, and said, "I proclaimed myself because Duan knew that he was incompetent and recommended him by his ministers, and did not intend to rise to the throne. I plan to return the throne to the Duan family. I, Gao, have been loyal to Duan family for generations and cannot be promoted to the throne."

The crowd was shocked and wanted to say something more.

Gao Shengtai said, "The eldest son-in-law, go see the Song people, tell me what I mean, ask them to withdraw their troops. Gao Taiming, go and bring Duan Zhengchun in and ask him to restore the throne."

Gao Taiming dared not agree, and he opened his mouth and wanted to speak.

Gao Shengtai's face darkened and he said, "Do you want me to die with your eyes open?"
