Gao Zhenshou added: "Your Majesty, although the barbarians are defeated, they may rebel again next year. Shanchan (Kunming) still needs a general to guard it, and my brother Zhenming can shoulder the important task."

Duan Zhengxing did not dare to make the decision and looked to the Prime Minister Gao Liangcheng.

Gao Liangcheng clenched his fists tightly and said nothing.

Gao Zhenshou added: "Your Majesty, the soldiers of the three armies have returned triumphantly. They are all camping outside the city at this moment. I would like to ask your Majesty to issue an edict and reward them."

The implication is that Dali City has been surrounded by heavy troops.

"Reward, reward everyone!" Duan Zhengxing said quickly.

Gao Liangcheng remained silent, still unwilling to give up his position as Prime Minister.

It took half a month, but suddenly there was a noise from soldiers outside the city, saying that the rewards and punishments were unknown and they wanted to go to the city to ask for an explanation.

Gao Liangcheng finally couldn't stand it anymore. If he continued to be the prime minister, there would probably be a mutiny outside the city.

The two met for secret talks and finally reached a compromise.

First, high-volume transactions will give you the position of Prime Minister, but you can keep your title of Duke.

Second, Gao Liangcheng must retire to Chuxiong and is not allowed to step into Dali City again, but he can take away the wealth he has collected for half his life.

Third, Gao Liangcheng's only legitimate son must become a monk. He can convert to Tantric Buddhism, marry a wife and have children, but he can no longer become an official.

As Gao Liangcheng left with his soldiers, Gao Zhenshou became the Prime Minister of Dali and was awarded the title "Ming Guogong"...
