Gao Shengtai's prestige is still enough to suppress the rebounding sound.

But the internal and external troubles of Dali are already in front of them, and they must solve the problem of the Song army at the gate!

While Gao Shengtai was talking to a group of important officials, the so-called eldest son-in-law had already hung out of the city and rode his horse towards the army in the Zong Shi.

Mr. Zhong sat still while he was still, watching the middle-aged man approaching from a distance.

A soldier stepped forward to intercept and checked, and let the eldest prince consort come over.

This middle-aged man, wearing a regular suit, stood not far from the Zong Shizhong, raised his hand and said, "This general, my Majesty said that he is terminally ill and his life is not long. He will ask Duan to restore his throne and trouble your army to return."

Mr. Zhong was stunned. The deputy general manager beside him and his subordinates were stunned.

Abdicate by yourself?

Is there such a thing?

Shi Zhong naturally didn't believe it, so he picked up the horse whip, pointed at him, and said in a deep voice: "Open the city gate, I will enter the city myself, and watch the Duan family restore the throne. If Gao family dares to deceive the heavenly soldiers, the clan will be destroyed!"

The eldest prince-consort's face changed slightly. He opened the city gate and let the Song army enter the city. This was not a decision he could make. Seeing the Song army's cavalry army was solemn and murderous intent leaked out, he felt a little scared and said, "I'll go back and report to my Majesty, General, don't move troops."

As he said that, he turned around, ran a few steps and rode away again.

There were already soldiers all over Dali City, as if they were facing a great enemy.

But there was a different scene in Dali City. The Gao family did not forcibly suppress all the rumors that were not conducive to the Gao family. Those who robbed the house and took the opportunity to make trouble were only allowed to arrest the soldiers, and did not use the army.

Inside and out, a strange phenomenon of calm and boiling appeared.

The Dali Palace is more serious than before, with patrolling soldiers everywhere.

Gao Shengtai's bedroom.

For some reason, Gao Shengtai, who had been in a coma for a long time and was dying, was gone as weak as before. After talking to the crowd, he was not sleepy, but sat up instead.

The imperial concubine beside him rubbed his shoulders, feeling a little happy about Gao Shengtai's "recovery".

Not far from Gao Shengtai's bed, there was a bald young man in his twenties wearing a monk's robe.

Gao Shengtai put on his tone and looked at him and said, "It is not empty talk to you when I say I want to return to my position. There is an old saying in the Han Dynasty that birds are about to die and their singing will be sad, and people are about to die and their words will be good. I will die, and there is no need to lie to you."

Standing in front of Gao Shengtai is Duan Zhengchun.

Duan Zhengchun, Duan Zhengming's younger brother, Duan Zhengming, was the one who abdicated by Gao Shengtai and became a monk.

Gao Shengtai did not ask Duan Zhengming to come back, but instead found Duan Zhengchun. His mind was also very obvious, just to ask Gao to continue to control the real power of Dali.

A situation has been formed: the Duan family has a country but no power, and the Gao family has power but no power.

Duan Zhengchun held Buddhist beads in his hand and recited the scriptures silently without saying a word.

Gao Shengtai sighed lightly and looked at him and said, "The Song army outside is not to support you Duan. If they enter the city, they will probably not leave, and Dali will not exist. Are you just watching it?"

Duan Zhengchun turned the Buddhist beads' hand and paused, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Gao Shengtai, and said, "What do you want me to do?"

Gao Shengtai smiled satisfied and said, "I can't live long. I promise you that after I die, I will let you ascend the throne. I, Gao, will be at peace. As long as you come forward, convince the Song army to withdraw."

Duan Zhengchun frowned and said, "Will Song Jun listen to me?"

Gao Shengtai said: "I know that not long ago, a few strange monks entered and left Wuwei Temple. They should be Song people. I don't care what they say to you, but I don't allow the Song army to enter the city. Dali Country is ours."

Duan Zhengchun's expression changed slightly, and a hint of panic flashed across his white face. He didn't expect that Gao Shengtai knew everything.

He felt both anger and resentment in his heart, but he was afraid of Gao Shengtai's eyes. He lowered his head, turned the Buddhist beads again, and did not speak.

Over the past few decades, there have been seven Duan clans who were forced to abdicate as monks by the Gao family, and his emperor brother is the last one!

He was originally a carefree, wealthy and glorious emperor, but he did not expect that Gao Shengtai actually usurped the throne and forced the Duan man to become a monk!

Duan, how can you not hate him?

But Duan has no choice!

The Gao family is dominant in Dali Country, and almost possesses all the power, and no one can compete with it!

Duan Zhengchun can only use silence to fight, just confrontation, not to express anger, he dare not!

Gao Shengtai looked at him, shook his head, and said, "Okay, you will understand this in the future. Go and talk to the Song people. My Dali army has 30,000, which is enough to resist the Song army. Besides, Tubo, Li Xia, and Liao countries will not sit and watch the Song people annex my Dali, don't be afraid."

Duan Zhengchun didn't understand. These words were actually something he had to say to the Song people.

Duan Zhengchun thought seriously and thought about it, saying, "I can leave the city, but the Song people will definitely not believe it. They will come from afar and will not give up easily."

Gao Shengtai sat there, his smile remained unchanged, and said, "Then just fight, they will come from afar and go deep into my heartland of Dali. Can you last for a month?"

Duan Zhengchun looked at him and said, "They are not only these cavalrymen, but also 50,000 people behind them. They will arrive in a few days."

Gao Shengtai's face was slightly dark, and then he smiled and said, "So what about tens of thousands of people? As long as Dali City is guarded for ten days, there will be 100,000 troops, leaving the 50,000 troops of the Song people in my Dali Kingdom. If the Song Dynasty was defeated by my Dali, Liao, Xia, and Tubo, it would definitely not be able to sit still, and the Song people could not swallow my Dali."

Duan Zhengchun looked at Gao Shengtai with confidence and silently turned the Buddhist beads.

After a long time, he said, "I'll go see the Song people."

Gao Shengtai stared at him for a while and said, "Come on, send him down."

Gao Taiming stood not far away, looking uneasy, but when he saw Gao Shengtai's gaze, he still said, "Yes."

Gao Taiming took Duan Zhengchun away.

Gao Shengtai looked at their backs and suddenly looked a little strange. For some reason, after eating something, he no longer felt like he was terminally ill and was about to fall into the ground. Instead, he felt full of strength and would not die for the time being.

‘It’s not a rebirth…’

Gao Shengtai was confused, and immediately regretted the previous arrangement.

If he wouldn't die for the time being, why would he return to Duan's position?

He will never abdicate!

No emperor is willing to abdicate!

Gao Shengtai showed a hint of ferocity on his face. He fought a war for his whole life, how could he be inferior to others!

'abdicate?'

Gao Shengtai looked at the jade seal not far away, his eyes becoming more and more fierce.

At the same time, Duan Zhengchun, who did not know that Gao Shengtai was really thinking, slowly walked out of the palace and headed to the city gate. He was going to meet the generals of the Song army.

At this time, Zhao Si, who was further away, led his infantry and kept fighting against the city and the ground.
