Chapter 38 The Contest for the Throne (1)

On New Year's Eve, the whole city of Ye was shrouded in the atmosphere of festivals.

In a military tent in Beidaying, there were wine and wine filled with wine. From time to time, there were sounds of urging wine and rock-scissors.

As the chief officer of Beidaying, Gao Changgong could have had a good rest in the palace tonight, but for some reason he came to inspect Beidaying again, so a group of generals under Gao Changgong surrounded Gao Changgong in the center to persuade him to drink.

Originally, Gao Changgong was disciplined after taking over the Beida Camp. He would never dare to drink on weekdays, let alone put on a stance in the military camp to eat and drink. But today is New Year's Eve and it is not on the battlefield, so he can make an exception. Therefore, Gao Changgong turned a blind eye to his subordinates' behavior of drinking in front of him. But he himself decided not to drink, and said with a smile:

"You drink it, I won't drink it..." Gao Changgong said as he was about to leave to inspect the military camp, but was stopped by his subordinates. The subordinate said, "Hey..., Prince, it's boring for you to do this. Everyone drinks it. If you don't drink it, what will everyone think? You'd better drink a bowl before talking about it. This is also the only thing I'm waiting for..."

"Yes, yes, you just drink a bowl of it!"

"It's unreasonable to drink a bowl!"

"Come on, the prince has done this bowl!" The man seemed to be afraid that Gao Changgong would refuse, and added: "If you don't drink it, you will wait until you look down on me!"

Unexpectedly, King Lanling just smiled and said, "No, it's not that I look down on you. It's really a mistake to drink. I am the Lord and I can't take the lead in drinking, otherwise this prestige will not be established in the future. You can just drink this wine yourself..."

"Hey, the prince is New Year's Eve tonight, and it's a happy day. What are you afraid of drinking some wine?..." Some people wanted to persuade him again, but suddenly heard Gao Changgong say, "By the way, Xidaying is a bit abnormal tonight. Have you heard the movement?"

The people looked at each other and yelled, "No, we heard nothing, there is nothing abnormal in Xidaying. Prince, you shouldn't have heard it wrong..."

Gao Changgong: "Oh, maybe I heard it wrong. I thought Xidaying was in a mutiny..."

Several people looked at each other in horror, hid the fear in their eyes deeply, and smiled and said, "How is it possible? Is there anyone under the emperor's feet dare to turn the world?"

"That's right, you are all good, but you're too cautious. Let's have a drink first..."

A man quickly handed the wine glass up. Gao Changgong did not refuse. He took it and leaned over to his mouth and sniffed it. The man stared at Gao Changgong's wine glass. Gao Changgong's lips were not covered with wine, so he put it down again and said, "What are you always staring at me? Is this wine poisonous?"

"No, Prince, you really like to joke. No matter who we give medicine, we dare not give medicine to you..."

"That's right, prince, can you believe it?"

Everyone's faces were pale and they hurriedly defended.

Gao Changgong had no intention of giving him any face and said, "To be honest, I really can't believe you at all..."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" A man frowned and asked hard, with the intention of provoking a riot.

"You have deaf ears? I said I can't believe you at all."

Everyone was stunned for a moment. They all said that Gao Changgong had a gentle and honest personality, but Gao Changgong was a bit abnormal today.

Gao Changgong sprinkled the wine in the glass on the ground, and the wine slurry splashed, and a ball of white foam instantly floated. This is a manifestation of poison in the wine.

Gao Changgong laughed "happily", "Look, this is the wine you prepared for me, the amount is really enough... Are you afraid that I will not kill me? When did I have such a big grudge against you? Do you want me to die so much?"

"Show your kindness to be a traitor or a thief!" Gao Changgong glanced at them and said, "I have seen it long ago that it is fake toast. It is true that you want to make me faint and then follow Xidaying to make trouble together? I tell you, if I am here, don't even think about it! The court pays you to support you, and it's not for you to rebel! Listen to my advice, don't do stupid things..."

Their intentions were exposed, and they simply did not hide them. They sneered and said, "King Lanling, if you want to be a dog, you must choose the right owner. The foolish lord Gao Wei is cruel and unkind and bullied Wu Xun. How could such an emperor support the great Qi country? It would be better if you abandon the darkness and turn to the light and follow His Highness Langya, we can let you live a life and ensure you have a great future!"

"Yes, Your Highness, we have the Queen Mother's decree to take action again, and the matter of abolishing the establishment is justified!"

"Xidaying has already taken action. When they come to Beidaying, it will be too late. You still have a chance now!"

Faced with the ridicule of these honorary ministers, a trace of disdain flashed in Gao Changgong's eyes, [These borers are not sure that the death is over! They are so courageous!]

"The Queen Mother's Decree?" Gao Changgong asked back, then took out a bright yellow silk book from his arms and spread it out: "It just so happens that I have an edict here, but it's your Majesty's... It's exactly the opposite of the Queen Mother's Decree, so please forgive me for not being able to comply with the Queen Mother's Decree!"

"——Come!" Gao Changgong shouted loudly. More than a dozen military men broke in from outside the tent, their armor was on their upper body and their swords were unsheathed. A fierce aura that had passed through the sea of ​​corpses and blood came to his face. Gao Changgong waved his hand and said, "According to the sages, beheading all these rebels!"

"Gao Changgong, you dare!"

"Gao Changgong!..."

There were unwilling screams from the tent, and then there were bloodstorms everywhere. The ministers in the tent were quickly massacred.

[These worms have been in the gentle village for too long and can't even hold the knife..., do you want to rebel?]

Gao Changgong curled his lips disdainfully, closed the curtain, turned around and walked into the dark night, and ordered the guards to beat the drum of the gathering. Gao Changgong pulled off the black cloak, and under the cloak was an armor made of fine iron. The drum rumbling, shocking the drunken atmosphere in the camp, and the soldiers' brains paralyzed by alcohol reacted instinctively.

"It's the gathering drum!"

"It's the general who is playing the drums of the gathering generals!"

"Hurry up, wake up! If you are late, you will be punished!"

The soldiers quickly wiped their faces with snow, which made them feel much more awake. Then they quickly put on their armor, brought their weapons, and ran to the school ground. In just a quarter of an hour, ten thousand soldiers in Beidaying had already assembled.

Gao Changgong sat upright on the war horse, patrolling back and forth, looking at the neat square array in front of him, neatly and uniformly, each of them as tall as a javelin, with an astonishing momentum. When staring at this square array, you will feel that this is not a unit of ten thousand people, it is clearly one person, divided into thousands of flesh and blood!

Putting aside combat effectiveness, it is difficult for the entire Daqi to find a unit that is disciplined and absolutely obeys orders!

With discipline, you can have combat effectiveness!

This is the result of Gao Changgong's training in one month, and Gao Changgong was very satisfied.

[It seems that what Your Majesty is right. Training troops according to Your Majesty's method can indeed greatly improve the quality and combat power of the army!]

Gao Changgong stared for a while, put on his hideous ghost face, and his momentum suddenly became terrifying and murderous. He raised the imperial edict in his hand and said loudly: "Your Majesty has an order! Gao Yan, the King of Langya, has committed rebellion. Now he mobilized Beidaying to quell the rebellion. All Beidaying have it, and go to Xidaying to suppress the rebellion!"

…………

"Damn!" In the Taiwei Mansion of Yecheng, Gao Yanzong, the King of Ande who had been humming for a long time, sat up from the couch.

He threw the wet towel on his forehead to the ground.

"Have the King of Langya led his troops into the palace?" Gao Yanzong asked his deputy general.

"Sir Qi Bian, I just received the news that King Langya has led his troops into the palace and headed straight to Tai Chi Palace!"

"This kid is doing it very quickly..." Gao Yanzong lifted the bedding and "take my cloak up!"

The deputy general was stunned, "Aren't you still recuperating?"

Gao Yanzong rolled his eyes and said, "What other illnesses are you going to raise? I have been sick for a few days for the sake of His Majesty's imperial edict!"

"Let's go and block the city gate before the thieves gather!"

…………

In the Tai Chi Hall, Gao Wei slowly stood up, and the bodies of hundreds of imperial guards were lying in the Tai Chi Hall, with broken limbs and broken arms scattered all over the ground.

Countless black-clad warriors knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor above the throne, and the flying sickle in their hands was still bleeding.

The air was even dyed red by the sprayed blood, and even suppressed the smell of alcohol and the sweet fragrance of rouge at the banquet, making the smell of blood that was disgusting.

Empress Dowager Hu sat down with the table, her face turned pale.

Gao Wei did not look at her or pay attention to the still frightened kings of the Gao family. Instead, he walked out of the Tai Chi Hall. The blood flowing from the ground made the back of his dragon robe look bloody. Gao Wei stepped out of the Tai Chi Hall with his body, standing outside the Tai Chi Hall with his hands on his back, looking down at the entire imperial city!

In the distance, the darkness came from the darkness, like the footsteps of war drums, and occasionally there were screams and wails that pierced the quiet night sky.

Gao Wei knew that it was Gao Yan coming.

But he was not afraid at all. Maybe he had already prepared himself, maybe the bloodthirsty and tyrannical blood of the Gao family revived in his body.

Even the bloody scene just now did not make him feel disgusted.

He is very excited now!

Uncontrolled start looking forward to the grand slaughter that will happen next...

Many people will die tonight...

Gao Wei supported his hands on the white marble carving railing and clenched his fists.

[Come on, Gao Yan, step into the grave I prepared for you with my own hands.]

[I am the master of the Northern Qi Dynasty!]
