On the second day after the plateau and his party arrived at Lingshou, they received a message from the birds on the border that the mission led by Anping Juntian Kezang of Qi had entered its own territory and was heading towards Lingshou.

This news is not unexpected, because Qi is close to its own territory, and now it is less than a month before the time for the plateau to hold the ceremony of claiming the king, so the envoy of Qi entered his territory at this time, and it is also the right time, so Gao Yuan immediately ordered the troops along the way to strengthen the protection of the Qi mission, and ordered Lingshou City to prepare to receive the Qi mission.

But in the afternoon, Zhao Xuan came to the palace to see Gao Yuan and told him a shocking news that there had been a coup d'état in Qi State, and Anping Jun Tian Kezang had killed Xiang Guo Housheng and seized the power of Qi State.

It turned out that after Qi Wangjian decided to send an envoy to Lingshou to participate in the ceremony of claiming the king on the plateau, Tian Kezhang took the initiative to ask Qi Wangjian for an order, hoping to serve as an envoy, and Qi Wangjian had no objection to this and immediately approved.

Tian Kezang was friendly with Guan Yi of the plateau and took the initiative to ask to serve as an envoy, which was not surprising, but now the struggle between Tian Kezhang and Hou Sheng has become white-hot because of whether to join the joint column, and Tian Kezang left the Qi State at this time, wouldn't it give Hou Sheng a chance to take advantage of it? But some people also believe that Tian Kezang went to Lingshou in person to use the power of Dai Chu to suppress Hou Sheng.

After Hou Sheng learned that Tian Kezhang was going to be an envoy, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that this was a good opportunity to hit Tian Kezang, so he recruited manpower and actively prepared, just waiting for Tian Kezang to leave Qi as soon as he immediately attacked Tian Kezang's mansion, grabbed Tian Kezang's family as a hostage, and then coerced Qi Wangjian to remove Tian Kezang from his official position, so that he could take charge of the government alone; On the other hand, he sent people to the Qin State, hoping to get the help of the Qin State to offset the pressure of the two countries.

But no one expected that in the middle of the night three days before the departure of the Qi mission, Tian Kezhang suddenly launched an attack and led his private soldiers to surround Hou Sheng's mansion. At this time, Hou Sheng was waiting for Tian Kezang to leave the Qi country, and he didn't expect Tian Kezhang to launch a surprise attack on him, but he was not prepared at all and was caught off guard.

Although Hou Sheng's family also raised a lot of private soldiers, but in order to let Tian Kezang leave Qi with confidence, Hou Sheng deliberately relaxed his own guards, and transferred some of the private soldiers back to his fiefdom, saying that during Tian Kezang's departure from Qi State, he would not make any moves, in addition, Tian Kezang's private soldiers have been trained by the instructors of the county, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of Hou Sheng's private soldiers, and Tian Kezang is preparing to send Lingshou to Lingshou, gathered 3,000 private soldiers, and launched a surprise attack, Hou Sheng's private soldiers can't resist at all, After Tian Kezhang led his troops into the mansion and died in the rebellion, more than 300 family members were killed, and more than 1,000 people from the clan were all reduced to slaves, and all the family property was occupied by Tian Kezang.

After the fiefdom, family property, and tax reduction killed Hou Sheng, Tian Kezhang immediately led his army to surround the palace overnight, and then entered the palace to meet Qi Wangjian. Early the next morning, the king of Qi issued an edict, after counting the seven major crimes, pointing out that he was a traitorous minister, and all his family property was confiscated, and announced that Tian Kezhang had merit in eliminating traitors, and took over the position of minister of state after victory, and also served as the great Sima.

Overnight, the state of Qi was completely changed, and Tian Kezhang took control of the government of the state of Qi. At the same time, Tian Kezhang ordered that the country's taxes be reduced or exempted for one year, and all the fiefs of Housheng were divided into ministers of Qi, which made the whole country very happy and quickly stabilized the situation. And three days later, Tian Kezhang still set off on the road and rushed to Lingshou, but left the eldest son Tian Zhan to preside over the overall situation in Linzi, and at the same time sent his henchman Kuang Zhang to lead an army of 20,000 to garrison Linzi and assist Tian Zhan.

After receiving Hou Sheng's call for help, Qin also planned to send additional troops to the border of Qin and Qi to coerce Qi and support Hou Sheng, but it didn't take long for the coup d'état of Qi and the news of Hou Sheng's death also spread to Qin State, and after losing Hou Sheng's biggest internal aid, Qin sent troops to pressure Qi State to no avail, so Qin State could only temporarily stop acting and wait and see what happened.

Originally, Daijun took advantage of the convenience of trade and arranged a large number of spy personnel in Qi State, and there was a coup d'état in Qi State, and the spy personnel also got the news at the first time and immediately sent it back to Daijun, but because the plateau had moved to Lingshou, when the power center changed, it was inevitable that there would be some chaos, so Gao Yuan received the news a few days late. Of course, it would take more than ten days for the Qi delegation to reach Lingshou, and there was no delay in arriving.

Gao Yuan naturally felt very shocked, he didn't expect such a big reversal and change in the Qi Kingdom, and Tian Kezhang actually had such great courage and courage to take such extreme measures. Gao Yuan has known Tian Kezhang for four or five years, although he feels that Tian Kezhang is also quite far-sighted and has a certain ability, but he did not expect Tian Kezhang to have such a decisive and executive ability, judging from the means of victory after this raid, it is indeed a perfect plan. It seems that he has underestimated Tian Kezang a little.

However, Gao Yuan immediately thought that after the death of Hou Sheng, Tian Kezang controlled the power of the Qi State, so the biggest obstacle to the formation of the Three Kingdoms has finally been eliminated, this time he called himself the king, and the envoys of the Three Kingdoms gathered, and it was very likely that the Three Kingdoms would form a joint force and make a substantial breakthrough.

Because from the beginning, Gao Yuan did not have too much expectations for the joint column, one was in another time and space, most of the joint vertical were unsuccessful, and the parties involved in the joint vertical intrigued, only concerned about preserving their strength, and even the battle against the enemy was not uncommon, only in the era of Xinling Jun, Xinling Jun with his personal prestige, only to pinch the countries of the United Vertical into a whole, and achieved two joint victories, and Gao Yuan did not think that he could have the prestige of Xinling Jun now; secondly, the resistance to the combination is too great, and there is no hope for its composition; The third is that Gao Yuan has enough confidence in himself, as long as he can solve the logistics support, he can resist the Qin army by relying only on his own strength. Therefore, Gao Yuan has always been less interested in Hezong, and more focused on establishing close commercial relations with Qi and Chu.

But now that the probability of forming a joint column has suddenly become very large, then it is necessary for you to seriously consider whether it will be more beneficial or disadvantageous for yourself once the combination is really formed, and how you can get the maximum benefit from the combination of the three countries.

Originally, Gao Yuan wanted to gather ministers to discuss how to deal with the matter of cooperation and how to negotiate with Qi and Chu to win the greatest interests for himself. But it was getting late at this time, and this matter was not imminent, so Gao Yuan thought about it for a while, and decided to forget it today, and not to recruit officials overnight, after all, most of the officials had just moved to Lingshou and had not completely settled down, and it was not too late to gather ministers to gather during the day tomorrow.

So Gao Yuan asked Zhao Xuan to continue to investigate the news of the coup d'état in Qi State in detail, and asked for every detail, and after Zhao Xuan received the order, he said goodbye and left, and Gao Yuan also returned to the harem to rest.

Today is the second day of migration to Lingshou, although the plateau and all the wives and concubines are temporarily settled in the palace, but there are still many supporting facilities are not perfect, so every day for dinner, all the wives and concubines go to the Qianqing Palace on the plateau to have a meal together, and at noon everyone generally eats in their own residences, because the plateau and the wives and concubines have their own affairs, and may not be able to gather.

When Gao Yuan returned to the Qianqing Palace, the wives and concubines had gathered here, and they were chatting and laughing together, because they had just moved into the palace to live, and everyone still had a very strong sense of freshness, so everyone talked and laughed, and they all talked about their feelings about the palace.

Seeing that Gao Yuan came back, the wives and concubines immediately stopped laughing, Li Yinghong got up and took the lead to greet him, and said, "My husband is back, please take a seat." ”

Gao Yuan nodded, sat down in the middle position, and said, "You all sit down, you don't have to be so restrained in the palace, just like when you were still in Daijun." ”

When the wives and concubines heard this, they all sat down in turn, and Gao Yuan smiled and said, "What were you talking about just now, I heard your laughter outside." ”

Li Yinghong said: "The sisters and concubines will live in the palace, and they are all talking about their own residences, as well as the palace scenery, and how to arrange other places." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Everyone has just entered the palace, and some things are not complete, so everyone has to settle for a moment in the past few days, and it will get better slowly, if there is something missing, let Yan Yu arrange someone to buy it." ”

Lin Wenchun said: "Husband, rest assured, our sisters are not people who are greedy for pleasure, and this place is much better than the mansion of Daijun, so there is nothing to be dissatisfied with, but there is a lack of something, and it does not affect life, our sisters will deal with it, don't worry about the husband, the husband still focuses on the enthronement ceremony, this is the husband's business, to the husband's Qianqing Palace, what is missing, to make up for it." ”

Gao Yuan said: "What do I lack here?" However, the affairs in the palace, I really don't have time to take care of it now, when you don't have time, discuss it more, what else is needed, and the personnel in the palace, how much to increase, try to come up with a plan, so that Guo Chen can do it. Yan Yu, in the future, it will be up to you to take responsibility for managing the affairs of the palace, you will have to worry more. ”

Geng Yanyu hurriedly said: "Yes, this is the responsibility of the concubine." After a pause, Geng Yanyu said again: "During the day, Lord Guo came and said that in a few days, the temple will be built, and the sacrificial vessels and ritual utensils have been shipped. ”

Zongmiao is a place that every country attaches great importance to, although the plateau cannot worship the spiritual seat of the ancestors in the Zongmiao now, but it cannot despise the Zongmiao, so Gaoyuan nodded and said: "Okay, tomorrow afternoon, I will definitely take the time to see the Zongmiao and let Guo Chen wait." It seems that tonight I have to review the official documents overnight, so I will rest in the Qianqing Palace. ”

Li Yinghong hurriedly said: "In this case, don't delay the time, let's have dinner immediately, after the meal, the husband can do the right thing, rest early in the evening, and let Zhong Xiu accompany the husband to review the official document at night." ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Let's pass the meal." ”
