Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"The officials of the Song Dynasty send their regards to His Majesty Dali!"

In the Dali Palace, under the watchful eyes of the Dali monarchs and ministers, the envoys of the Song Dynasty were unfazed and polite.

"The troops are approaching the city! Is this how the officials of the Song Dynasty say hello?"

Before Duan Zhengchun could speak, Gao Taiming, who had a fiery personality, said angrily.

Because of the Song Dynasty's military intervention, the entire Shanchan Mansion was breached and the foundation of the Gao family was destroyed. Gao Taiming naturally hated the Song Dynasty deeply.

The envoy of the Song Dynasty sneered: "If the Gao family had not plotted to usurp the throne and endanger the imperial court, how could the Song Dynasty send troops to support justice?"

Gao Taiming suddenly became angry. He did not expect that the envoys of the Song Dynasty were actually in the Dali court.

Gao Shengtai said coldly: "It's not the Song Dynasty's turn to interfere in Dali's affairs!"

The envoy of the Song Dynasty proudly said: "We, the Song Dynasty, are the kingdom of Heaven, and Dali is a vassal state of the Song Dynasty. The Duan family of Dali has paid tribute to the Song Dynasty for many years, so the Song Dynasty will naturally stand up for the Duan family."

Duan Zhengchun suddenly looked embarrassed. If the Song Dynasty had not sent troops to intervene, I am afraid that the Gao family would not have easily returned the imperial power to the Duan family. However, the Song Dynasty also had good intentions. Taking advantage of the civil strife in Dali, the Song Dynasty sent troops to have the momentum to annex Dali.

Duan Zhengchun coughed dryly and said: "Since the Prime Minister has returned the throne to the Duan family, if the Song Dynasty soldiers can withdraw, I am willing to offer you a heavy gift to thank you!"

Duan Zhengchun tried to smooth things over. Although the Duan family had usurped power, they had already made an oath to Cangshan and Erhai to return power to the Duan family. The Song army, whose army was pressing down on the border, was Dali's biggest enemy. For this reason, Duan Zhengchun finally fought with the Gao family. Advance and retreat together.

The envoy of the Song Dynasty sighed: "Dali has never read history books. You can believe the words of rebellious ministers and traitors like Gao, let alone the ridiculous Cangshan Erhai Oath. Sima Yi also made the Luoshui Oath at the beginning, but the result was... Didn't he just fall out and seize Cao Wei's kingdom?"

The Dali court was even more embarrassed. They were not the leaders of the Thirty-sixth Division of Eastern Yunnan and knew only a little about the history of the Song Dynasty. Almost all the courtiers were proficient in the culture of the Song Dynasty. They naturally understood the oaths of Sima Yi and Luo Shui. In comparison, , who can guarantee that once the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty leave, the Gao family, who controls the military and political power of Dali, will not immediately fall out and plot to usurp the throne just like Sima Yi.

Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but look embarrassed. The problem was that he had no idea.

Gao Taiming was furious and said: "The little envoy actually provoked the relationship between my monarch and my ministers. Someone came and killed the Song envoy in retaliation for the Song army killing my people in Dali."

At that moment, a group of soldiers rushed to the court, preparing to push the Song Dynasty envoy out of the hall and kill him!

The envoy of the Song Dynasty laughed when he heard this and said: "It seems that the Song Dynasty was right to send troops. The Dali court has long been dominated by the Gao family. Without His Majesty Dali's nod, he actually killed the envoys of the two countries on the spot."

Gao Taiming was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the envoy of the Song Dynasty was so sharp-tongued that he killed Duan and Gao.

Duan Zhengchun suddenly looked unhappy and said: "If the two armies are fighting, the envoy will not be killed. General Gao must not be impulsive."

Gao Shengtai's heart sank and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty killed countless people in Dali. Now there are troops coming to Dali with the intention of annexing Dali. Please order the execution of the envoys of the Song Dynasty to avenge the people of Dali. , to stabilize the morale of the army!"

Gao Shengtai was old and powerful, and he immediately understood that Duan Zhengchun was unwilling to kill the Song envoy. Even if the Song Dynasty invaded Dali City in the future, the Duan family would have a way out. They would just switch from the puppets of the Gao family to the puppets of the Song Dynasty!

However, the Gao family had no way out. They could only kill the envoys of the Song Dynasty and coerce Duan Zhengchun and Dali to fight against the Song Dynasty.

The envoy of the Song Dynasty naturally understood Gao Shengtai's plan, and immediately said: "I can understand the situation of Mr. Gao. In the history books of the Han people, there are countless examples of powerful officials who died without a burial place. If I were Mr. Gao, I would not give up easily. The power in your hands.”

Gao Shengtai's face suddenly twitched, and the envoys of the Song Dynasty directly shaved off the faces of Duan Zhengchun and the Gao family in the court hall.

Duan Zhengchun also had a stern look on his face. Just as he doubted whether the Gao family would usurp power again, the Gao family also had doubts. If the Duan family came to power in the future, the Gao family might be liquidated. After all, no one dared to bet their wealth and life on others. in a moment.

All Dali officials in the court were silent. Everyone knew this truth, but no one said it in public. Now the envoys of the Song Dynasty broke the window paper in public.

The envoy of the Song Dynasty laughed and said: "The Song Dynasty came here to solve the troubles of the Duan family and the Gao family. As long as you and others open the city, the Song Dynasty will act as a guarantee, so that you can end this dispute between kings and ministers with dignity."

Duan Zhengchun's heart suddenly pounded. The Duan family was now the puppet of the Gao family and his son. It could be said that the situation was precarious. In this case, why not surrender to the Song Dynasty and maybe the Duan family could be saved.

Gao Shengtai suddenly raised his head and looked directly at the Song envoy and said: "We will wait for Kaicheng to surrender and let the Song Dynasty annex Dali. This is the Song Dynasty's plan!"

At this point, the envoy of the Song Dynasty did not mince words and said directly: "The coast of the country is not the land of the king. The Song Dynasty needs to mobilize all its strength to deal with the Liaoxia. Now that it has conquered the Qingtang Tubo, it is impossible to let Dali be in the rear of the Song Dynasty." , in the future Dali will be merged into the Song Dynasty, and all of you will be ministers of the Song Dynasty, especially the Gao family will be reused by the imperial court."

Now the ministers in Dali nodded slightly. They had expected this. Fan Zheng was a minister, so naturally he would be the minister of everyone.

Duan Zhengchun is a puppet emperor who has never really controlled the power and is not too obsessed with the throne. However, the Gao family and his son are struggling. The Gao family has always said that they are the real masters of Dali, let alone Gao Shengtai. After usurping the throne and ascending the throne, he had already regarded Dali as his own. Once he surrendered, the Gao family in Dali would really lose the most.

Gao Shengtai laughed loudly and said: "The Gao family has been a minister of Dali for generations. They would rather die than be a minister of the Song Dynasty. I have dedicated my life to Dali. Today I will kill the envoys of the Song Dynasty to show that I am Duan. Keep the destiny of the country in mind.”

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, think again!" Duan Zhengchun quickly advised.

Now that Dali City has been attacked from the north and south by the Song Dynasty, the situation may be precarious. If the envoys of the Song Dynasty are killed and the city is breached in the future, the Song army may retaliate.

Gao Shengtai said proudly: "I know that your majesty does not believe in me, but your majesty wants to believe in my heart for Dali. I will make my own decision on this matter for once. If the Song army is defeated in this battle, I will order the Gao family to completely return power. I am loyal to the Duan family. If this battle fails, all the anger of the Song army will be directed at me alone and will not involve you all."

"Your Majesty the Prime Minister!"

The monarchs and ministers of Dali could not help but exclaim, looking at Gao Shengtai with mixed expressions.

The envoy of the Song Dynasty could not help but panic. He did not expect that the Song Dynasty had already attacked Dali City from the north and the south, and Gao Shengtai actually dared to kill him.

"Gao Shengtai, our Song Dynasty's 100,000-strong army is under Dali City. If you make a move, you will not be able to bear the consequences." The Song Dynasty envoy sneered.

Gao Shengtai sneered: "Longshou Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It has never been breached since it was built. The Tang Dynasty's 100,000-strong army was wiped out at Longshou Pass, let alone the weak Song Dynasty. If you fight me, Dali will win."

At that moment, Gao Taiming couldn't wait to suppress the envoys of the Song Dynasty. He wanted to directly kill the envoys of the Song Dynasty and completely tie the Dali monarchs and ministers to Gao's chariot.

The envoy of the Song Dynasty suddenly broke out in cold sweat. At the critical moment of life and death, he suddenly came to an idea and said: "Even if Longshou Pass has never been breached, what about Longshou Pass? It is said that it was only breached by tens of thousands of people from the Bagan Kingdom, and signed with Dali Alliance under the city."
