However, Huang Qiong did not give him any chance to appeal. After announcing the imperial edict, he immediately arranged for people to remove all the concubines in his harem, including those with whom he had a relationship and Gao Mei, together with the princes and princesses. He was escorted northward. Also being taken away were his close ministers who were with him. And his fourth brother, whom he regarded as his humerus, had already been poured a pot of poisonous wine. Not only was this person greedy, but he also secretly colluded with the false emperor and gained a lot of profits by selling war horses.
Shanchan Hou's Mansion indeed provided excellent weapons to the puppet emperor. But this Lord became red-eyed when he saw that the Shanchanhou Mansion had made a fortune by selling copper, ordnance, and armor to the puppet emperor, and even made a fortune every day. Try every means to hook up with the false emperor. It just so happened that the Puppet Emperor was because the Tianzhu horses were expensive, while the cheaper Korean horses and Jurchen horses were not acclimated to the southern climate, and their survival rate was quite low. If there is a rebellion, even in Jiangnan, the army will be in great demand for war horses.
Although Shanchanhou's Mansion can provide some war horses, the horses provided by Shanchanhou's Mansion are more suitable for carrying supplies. If he went to the battlefield and charged in, he would still be far behind. In order to find a stable and relatively cheap source of war horses that can save costs, I am worried. He took the initiative to extend an olive branch. To the false emperor, it was like a sleepy person getting a pillow. The horses in the area under the royal family of Dali have the bones and blood of Tibetan horses, plus the unique pastures of Yangjume City.
Although the war horses they produce are not as good as the Khitan horses used by Da Qi, and the party horses are much better than those produced by Shanchanhou Mansion. The two hit it off instantly. Over the years, he provided tens of thousands of war horses. It can be said that without the horses he provided, the rebels would not be able to match the only cavalry they had. In other words, the cost of equipping cavalry is higher, and the quality of the horses will be worse. Huang Qiong would definitely not leave this kind of person who would do anything for money.
According to Huang Qiong's original intention, he should be sent to the execution ground together with Gao Zhisheng. But considering that after all, we still have to save some face for the Duan family, we did not make the canon of punishments public. After doing all this, Huang Qiong had done what he should do. The only thing left to do was to negotiate and negotiate with these clan leaders, and that was Duan Suping's business. Huang Qiong just sent Zhao Wuye to sit in person to hold him back, and the rest of the matter Then let go completely. As for the captured Dali army horses, they were handed over to Zhang Tiande for training.
According to the agreement with Duan Suping, after he succeeded to the throne of Dali King. Zhang Tiande will be stationed in Dali for one year with two thousand troops and horses. It was specially used for training, and the combat power of the royal army had dropped to almost negligible. If any of the two thousand soldiers are willing to stay in Dali after one year, Huang Qiong also agrees. However, Duan Suping's request to purchase part of the artillery was simply rejected by Huang Qiong. Huang Qiong is determined not to sell even one of them.
Moreover, among the troops and horses left behind, Huang Qiong asked Zhao Wushu to carefully select them. Including the military attachés, there was no one who could come into close contact with the artillery. Originally, Duan Suping wanted to keep Guo Chen, but Huang Qiong had already reserved a seat for Guo Chen. That is the commander of the former capital of Xijing Palace. Naturally, it is impossible for him to stay. Finally, after several discussions with Guo Chen and Zhao Wushu, and after soliciting personal opinions, Zhang Tiande was retained. But Huang Qiong also told Zhang Tiande two things. One was to leave behind the military discipline of the army and horses.
In addition, during the training, Huang Qiong secretly ordered Zhang Tiande to pay attention to cleaning up the unstable personnel among them. While doing these things, Huang Qiong took the time to spend the last moment with Bai Feng. In addition to talking with Duan Suping, he also had to hold people in his arms when dealing with government affairs during the day. This separation has been difficult, and the chance of the two people meeting again is extremely slim. Huang Qiong, who really couldn't put it down, couldn't let go of this excellent woman.
During this period, Duan Jin had several discussions with his nephew, asking him to choose another queen among the more than ten girls from the Dao family and Bai family brought by his father-in-law. It's not because of the relationship between Huang Qiong and Bai Feng, that's not what Duan Jin values. The reason Duan Jin did this was to continue the bloodline of the Duan family. Therefore, by this time, except for a dozen Yuanzhi clan members of the Dali clan, the rest of the men had already been escorted northward. If Bai Feng fails to give birth to a prince, that family will truly be in ruins.
But no matter how Duan Jin tried to persuade him, Duan Suping remained silent. Even if you don't express your opinion, you won't say anything. When asked in a hurry, the most he can say is that he knows what he knows, or that the wife of the poor will not go to court. Finally, under Duan Jin's pressure, he agreed to choose some concubines from the Bai family, the Dao family, and some small aristocratic families. Duan Jin didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he simply ignored himself. Twenty people were appointed for him from the Bai family, Dao family, several small aristocratic families, and the thirty-seven tribes in eastern Yunnan.
Among them, the Bai family chose Bai Feng's half-sister and a cousin. The Dao family chose Dao Meiping, a cousin. Of course, this was also based on the opinions of Bai Feng and Dao Meiping. As for the thirty-seven Eastern Yunnan films, Duan Jin signaled to Huang Qiong to let each of them choose to send their eldest daughter to the palace. Duan Jin's strength at this time not only made Huang Qiong feel dumbfounded, but also made Duan Suping feel helpless. Although I also know that this aunt is doing it for herself and for the good of Dali.
But being forced to do so made him feel a little uncomfortable. Especially the sister-in-law who is more than ten years younger than herself. When he married Bai Feng, the woman was just a child. Because I was close to Bai Feng, I would go to Yangju City every year and stay at his house for half a year. Now that he was asked to accept this girl as his concubine, he still felt a little awkward. What's more, he is quite simple when it comes to things like that. Compared with Huang Qiong, he is like a saint in terms of female sex.
But facing Duan Jin's strength, he had no choice but to accept it in the end. After all, the current Dali clan did not even leave him a nephew with a closer bloodline. The bloodlines of the remaining Yuanzhi clans are too far gone. The most recent one is from my great-grandfather’s generation. If Bai Feng really cannot give birth to a child, there will be no heir to the throne. What's more, Duan Jin's painstaking efforts were included in this. No matter how reluctant he was, he could only accept his fate.
Duan Jin's actions were actually not only for the Duan family, but also to find external support for him. Although the aristocratic families currently accept Duan Suping's rise to power. Now, although under the might of the Great Qi's military and after witnessing the tragic situation of the Gao family that was almost annihilation, they reluctantly accepted the established facts. The scene of rolling heads frightened these people. But who can know what those people really think? Will he be really that respectful in the future?
But after the Qi army withdraws, who knows what they will do? The Baiyi tribe is located in the southern part of Dali, with the Dao family and the Bai family being the two largest tribes. Although the combined strength is not as good as that of the Thirty-seven Eastern Yunnan tribes, it is definitely one of the best in Dali Kingdom and no one dares to look down upon it. Moreover, the two families have always used marriage as a means of marriage, and their relationship with each other is extremely close. If we can have a closer relationship with these two families, it will only be good for Duan Suping to secure his position in the future without any harm.
Although Duan Suping was reluctant to Duan Jin's hard work, he could only accept it helplessly in the face of this aunt's strength. In fact, Bai Feng is not willing either. Is there any woman in the world who is willing to take a concubine for her husband? What's more, the ones chosen are all my own sisters. Even she knew that Duan Jin specially gave benefits to her natal family and the Dao family in order to ensure that Duan Suping could get the full support of the Yi people so that he could compete with the wealthy families in the country. one
Duan Suping's successor formed a real uncle-in-law relationship with the Baiyi people. The foreigners will be completely tied to the royal family. Even if there are people who really oppose Duan Suping's succession, they might even start a rebellion. But as long as the rebels give their full support, the situation won't be too bad. Although the Baiyi people were in Dali, their status was not as high as that of several of the founding families. But the various tribes that spread throughout the southern counties of Dali were not something that aristocratic family could contend with alone.
If he really has the support of his mother's family, those aristocratic families will join forces, and the husband will not have no means of counterattack. But despite this, Duan Jin had explained this matter to Huang Qiong alone before. But Duan Jin's innate strength in this matter for the sake of Dali made this explanation almost the same as an ultimatum. No matter how docile Bai Feng is, facing Duan Jin's strength, this kind of thing is still difficult for him to accept.
Although I also understand in my heart that this is a matter of benefit to both the husband and the foreigner. But there were so many at once, including his own sister, and cousins, which still made Bai Feng feel bitter and intolerable. But facing Duan Jin's tough tactics, Bai Feng was helpless. Especially when Duan Jin clearly told her that she had never given birth to a son or a daughter to Duan Suping. As Duan Suping's aunt, she didn't want to interfere in their life as a couple. But no matter what, the Duan family cannot extinguish the heirs from Duan Suping.
Coupled with her relationship with Huang Qiong, she always felt sorry for Duan Suping. Therefore, no matter how sad his heart was, Bai Feng could only acquiesce. However, after the matter was settled, Bai Feng looked particularly crazy when he was sleeping. I don’t know, but I used this matter as an outlet. Still take this matter to take revenge on Duan Jin. Anyway, after this incident, Huang Qiong was a little uncomfortable with Bai Feng's craziness, and was once afraid that she would hurt her body.
However, although Duan Suping reluctantly accepted the established facts, his request to see Bai Feng was rejected by Huang Qiong without hesitation. Let him focus on dealing with those aristocratic families and tribes first. I don't know the relationship between Bai Feng and Huang Qiong at this time. Duan Suping never thought that Huang Qiong took Bai Feng because he was simply reluctant to let go of this excellent woman. He always thought that the Emperor of Da Qi wanted to detain Bai Feng as a hostage for a period of time.
It was not until the day of the registration ceremony, when two people were registered at the same time, that the two finally met again. Seeing the two people dressed in the attire of the Dali Emperor and Empress performing three kowtows and nine bows in front of him, Huang Qiongxin sighed softly. After all, the two people had the most intimate relationship. Now Bai Feng looked extremely dignified and virtuous in the attire of the Queen of Dali. It was completely different from the amorous feelings of last night, but it still made Huang Qiong's heart agitate.
At this point, I am afraid that I will almost never see her again. Thinking of the soft moaning and crying of the woman who was still in his arms last night, Huang Qiong was somewhat absent-minded. No matter how reluctant he was to let go, for the sake of the overall situation, Huang Qiong knew that he had no choice but to let go. On the fifth day after the completion of the registration ceremony, he and Duan Suping agreed on the rule that the emperor and his queen would visit the capital once every three years. The Dali Kingdom will pay Daqi 300,000 jins of pure copper every year within five years as compensation to Daqi.
