Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 347, Zhan Doudou's Fantastic Ideas, the Han Kingdom and Northern Qi, Dongyi, and the United Kingdom of Princes
At the Shangjing Post Station, hundreds of strong and powerful bandits, holding long swords, were guarding the area near the post station.

With his face full of scars and bandit-like aura, he kept many representatives of aristocratic families away from him.

The King of Han has been staying in this post station for three days, but he doesn't seem to be in a hurry to go to the capital.

Yang Du, the head of the Shangjing Intelligence Network, stood behind Liu Hong and quietly recounted the major events of the Northern Qi Dynasty over the years.

Although Liu Hong was not surprised to hear that the Queen Mother of Northern Qi had also died, he still felt a little regretful.

People of the same generation as Ye Qingmei are slowly getting older and can no longer influence the development trend of the times.

Originally, after the Queen Mother's death, the power could be transferred smoothly, and Zhan Doudou could slowly take power.

As a result, when Ku He was about to die, the servants and retainers of the Zhan family began to have some ulterior motives.

Zhan Doudou could have managed to hold on, at least preventing Northern Qi from causing too much disturbance.

But now that her female identity has been exposed, not to mention Northern Qi, even the capital city is somewhat unstable.

So far, the support is provided by Jinyiwei commander Wei Hua, Imperial Guards commander Lang Tao, and Tianyi Dao saint Haitang Duoduo.

As for Zhan Doudou...she ran to the place where Ku He was recuperating and hid herself there.

When Yang Du spoke of this, his tone became even more excited.

"Your Majesty, you might as well just capture the Empress and Ku He in one fell swoop and compromise with the three major families of Northern Qi. By then, Northern Qi will be in chaos and unable to take care of itself."

"My Han Kingdom has enough time to attack Qing Kingdom. After the south is pacified, we can rest for three years and then march north to unify the world."

Liu Hong smiled, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and started eating.

No opinion was expressed on Yang Du.

After Zhan Doudou's death, Northern Qi was almost divided into many vassal states.

When the Han Dynasty launches its Northern Expedition, how many people will die?

What Liu Hong wants is a complete Northern Qi!

Gousheng opened the door with a strange look in his eyes. He stared at Liu Hong for a long time before he spoke slowly.

"Brother, the Imperial Concubine Si Lili is outside the post station asking for an audience. Do you want to see her or not?"

When Liu Hong heard Si Lili's name, he thought for a while and nodded.

"An old friend is visiting, and you have to see him!"

Yang Du's expression changed, he seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and finally just followed Gou Sheng to retreat silently.

Si Lili was wearing a black dress with gold patterns, swaying with every step, as if golden lotuses were blooming under her feet.

She wears no makeup, but has a natural charm. The years have given this charm a more mature flavor.

To put it simply, it has a more youthful feel.

Liu Hong looked at Si Lili and smiled, his eyes slightly gentle.

"Si Lili, long time no see."

If Si Lili hadn't persuaded Qianlong Bay in the past ten years, it might not have been possible to support 50,000 cavalrymen.

Si Lili's eyes reddened, and she suppressed her emotions, bowed deeply, and spoke softly.

"Noble Consort Si Lili of Northern Qi greets His Royal Highness the King of Han."

Liu Hong understood what the manager wanted. He originally wanted to reminisce about the past, but that mood disappeared in an instant and he shook his head.

"Sit down, and tell me the conditions for fighting Doudou."

"I don't think Zhan Doudou can be like the three great families, who can muster an army of 200,000 and march south to attack Qing."

These 200,000-strong army was a joint effort of the three major forces. After careful calculation, even without these troops, they could still rely on mutual assistance.

It can also restrict the Northern Qi royal family tightly.

But Zhan Doudou definitely can't do that. If she forces out an army of 200,000, let alone whether they can pass through Nanling County.

If we really pass through Nanling County, then the two counties controlled by the Zhan family, the four war areas, will they be undefended?

Si Lili also understood the shortcomings of the Zhan family and spoke softly.

"King of Han, His Majesty is willing to give you the entire Northern Qi. Isn't that enough?"

Liu Hong poured a cup of tea for Si Lili, but there was not much joy on his face.

"Tell me……"

The atmosphere of the aristocratic families in Northern Qi was too strong. Even Liu Hong could not kill people indiscriminately like he did in Qing or Han.

The aristocratic families headed by the three major families control a large amount of silver, grain, land, army, and fame.

It would be more accurate to say that these troops were the private troops of the aristocratic families rather than the Northern Qi army.

Once they are pushed into a corner, this group of people will really dare to rebel.

Seeing that Liu Hong was indifferent, Si Lili bit her red lips lightly.

"Your Majesty is willing to marry you, abdicate the title of Queen of Northern Qi, and become the Emperor of Northern Qi from the King of Han."

"The Northern Qi Dynasty implemented a dual monarchy system, where the emperor and the empress shared the power to govern the Northern Qi Dynasty."

"Even Northern Qi could become a vassal state of Han and jointly establish a unified dynasty."

This requirement is actually similar to Liu Hong’s psychological expectation, but it is a united unified dynasty.

Liu Hong really didn't expect this.

The Han Empire, Northern Qi, Dongyi, and the united dynasty of the vassal states?
Liu Hong shook his head. What’s the difference between this and the Western Zhou Dynasty?

Zhan Doudou was able to think of this, so he must have some talent.
Just a nominal gift, plus two beauties, made Liu Hong give up the aid of 200,000 troops.

This must be because someone got kicked in the head by a donkey.

Liu Hong shook his head and was not satisfied with Doudou's proposal.

It seems that this empress doesn't have much sense of crisis?
Seeing that Liu Hong didn't say a word, Si Lili leaned forward to reject it, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"King Han, are you really unwilling to give in?"

Liu Hong looked at Si Lili's beautiful face. It turned out that she was wearing a little light makeup to hide her haggard expression.

It seems that Si Lili has not had an easy time during the time when Zhan Doudou's identity was exposed. She has to face the power of the aristocratic families all day long, and she is helpless and worried.

Liu Hong was silent for a while.

"I'm not too satisfied with this chip. Let Zhan Doudou replenish it."

Neither Liu Hong nor Zhan Doudou met.

This is just like training an eagle. Whoever loses his seat first will lose the initiative.

Liu Hong does not have much time, and can only stay in Northern Qi for four months at most, otherwise the people of Han will become unstable.

Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun might be up to something.

But Zhan Doudou's situation is not very good either. Not to mention how long Ku He can hold on, if the three major clans enter Shangjing, Zhan Doudou will lose control of the court.

The power of the Zhan family will also be completely wiped out.

How could a figurehead emperor have the qualifications to bargain with Liu Hong?

Si Lili gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her heart was almost broken. She slowly stood up and prepared to leave.

She didn't expect that even though she had done so much for Liu Hong, Liu Hong was still not moved at all when faced with interests.

Just as Si Lili was about to open the door, a pair of strong arms hugged her delicate body from behind.

Si Lili's body shook suddenly.

Accompanied by a faint sigh.

"Oh, forget it! Who asked you to silently give so much for me behind my back?"

"Tell Zhan Doudou that Northern Qi will become a vassal state of Han, and a united dynasty of Han, Northern Qi, Dongyi City, and the vassal states will be established. The emperor of Han will be the great emperor of the dynasty and will have absolute power over Northern Qi."

"Abolish the dual monarch system. The Queen of Northern Qi can only exercise administrative power and military power in Shangjing County under the order of the Great Emperor of Han."

"Leave Ku He's last resort to me, and mobilize half of Northern Qi's military forces, about 300,000 men, to attack Southern Qing!"

Liu Hong held Si Lili in his arms, his eyes sincere and genuine.

This time, Liu Hong did not stay away from the relationship between the two because of concerns.

Liu Hong told all his bottom lines, but this was not Zhan Doudou's bottom line. He also asked Zhan Doudou to abdicate and become the Queen of Northern Qi, taking charge of the administrative power of Northern Qi and the military power of Shangjing County.

Perhaps as time goes by, Zhan Doudou's regression will be even greater than this.

But this is what Liu Hong owes Si Lili.

Si Lili burst into laughter, her eyes somewhat resentful, and she spoke softly.

"You just like to bully me."

"Maybe. Who made you so easy to bully?"

Liu Hong also laughed.

Before Si Lili could say anything, her red lips were blocked and she could no longer speak.

Si Lili's body stiffened, then relaxed, and her fair arms wrapped around Liu Hong like an octopus.

……

Sang Wen's elegance and gentleness, the contrast with Zhan Pianpian, Si Lili's seduction and temptation, and Zhan Doudou's desire to conquer.

Liu Hong sometimes feels that he is very lucky to have the best of both worlds.

It’s a pity that the ideal of retaining Qi and sleeping together is destined to be unlikely to be realized.

Being able to play with two pearls as one dragon is already the limit.

Soft music rang out in the room.

"don't want……"

"Having said all this, now that I'm here, if I give up, I'll be at a huge loss."

Gousheng and Yang Du heard the noise coming from the room on the top floor and looked different.

Yang Du couldn't help but laugh, and then his eyes dimmed again.

Gousheng played with the wine glass and smiled knowingly.

Noticing that Yang Du's expression looked a little strange, he spoke softly.

"Yang Du, why do you look a little strange?"

When Yang Du heard Gou Sheng’s words, his body trembled and he wanted to say no.

But in these eight years, they have been helping each other and can be said to be the closest comrades-in-arms.

If even Gousheng doesn't trust him, who else can Yang Du trust?

After hesitating for a while, Yang Du sighed and revealed the secret that had been hidden in his heart for more than ten years.

"Gou Sheng, in fact, was originally a member of the Supervisory Council, but he was ordered to serve under the King of Han and monitor his every move."

Don’t say no!
The Northern Qi Jinyiwei had already discovered Yang Du's identity clearly.

If you don't say it now, wait until the King of Han accepts Northern Qi.

Not to mention being granted a title of nobility and appointed as a general as a meritorious official, even if the King of Han was kind and benevolent, Yang Du would still suffer a heavy loss if he didn't die.

Gousheng did not show any surprise. He took a sip of the liquor and smiled slyly.

"Yang Du, do you really think that given the relationship between the Prince of Han and the Imperial Concubine Si Lili, he doesn't know anything about it?"

Yang Du was stunned and didn't understand what Gousheng meant.

Gousheng seemed to be lost in his memories.

"The King of Han brought 400 men from Kyoto and 400 from Dingzhou, a total of 800 soldiers."

"The Crown Prince, the Second Prince, the Supervisory Council, Emperor Qing and others have more or less sent some very low-level fringe spies."

At that time, Liu Hong was still a figurehead commander and was still in the second-line troops.

Only someone with a mental problem would send enthusiastic people to hide in Liu Hong’s army.

Most of them were merely influenced by the secret police politics, and they randomly sent a few marginal figures as spies to gather information.

Gousheng glanced at the steps that were shaking slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"We already know your identity very well. We also know General Huang Xuan, who is currently ranked among the top ten in the Han army, and General Moss, who is currently ranked among the top ten in the Han army."

"One of them was from the Second Prince's family, and the other was from the Qin family in the military."

When Yang Du heard Gou Sheng talking about these old stories, which were almost confidential, he couldn't help but hold his breath.

Only Gousheng, an old brother from Danzhou who used to be a military judge, knew something about it.

"Then why didn't the King of Han attack us?"

Yang Du was a little confused.

Gousheng laughed.

"I also asked this question at the beginning, but the King of Han said it quite casually. He said that you are all just marginal figures, and you are just hired for hire. You can't say you are very loyal to those forces."

"If the King of Han can soar to the sky, you will also rise to the sky, and you will naturally stick closely to the King of Han and cut off ties with the forces behind him."

"If the King of Han hadn't soared into the sky, why would he attack you? Isn't this telling others that the King of Han has something to hide?"

Yang Du looked confused and weird. This seemed like something that a normal person wouldn't do.

But if it was the King of Han who did it, then everything makes sense.

Yang Du relaxed his body. If that was the case, he had a clear conscience.

After a long time, the noise on the steps finally stopped.

Gousheng glanced at the sky and showed an envious look.

"Is this the physique of a grandmaster? Can it last for an hour or two?"

"This is the unique talent of our Liu family, and it is related to the Grand Master."

There was a hearty laugh on the steps.

Liu Hong carried Si Lili, who was limp as mud and had a flushed face, and walked down the building with a smile.

"Your Majesty!"

Gousheng and Yang Du stood up quickly.

Liu Hong pulled up his collar to cover the teeth marks on his neck.

"It's time to visit Grand Master Ku He!"

Gousheng glanced at the sky and spoke hesitantly.

"Now?"

"Well, right now! Otherwise Si Lili will think I'm a bad person who doesn't keep his word."

Liu Hong hugged Si Lili tightly.

Si Lili blushed and buried her head in Liu Hong's arms.

Before it gets completely dark, the aristocratic families in the capital can see that the King of Han has already started to take action against the harem of the Northern Qi royal family.

As for the actions of that group of people to encroach on the court, they must come to a halt.

Observing every move of the King of Han.

If the King of Han really reaches an agreement with the Northern Qi royal family, the Northern Qi royal family will have the protection of the Grand Master again.

Everything they did was in vain.

Liu Hong continued to hold Si Lili in his arms and walked out of the post station. The carriage soon stopped outside.

The spies outside the post station looked at each other in confusion.

Although Zhan Doudou's female body was exposed! Si Lili went to visit the King of Han, and the King of Han took possession of Si Lili without any scruples.

Why does it feel like there is some kind of flesh trade?

Besides, is this really a good idea? In name, Si Lili is still Zhan Doudou's legal wife.

Although they were thinking a lot, the spies were still very obedient and rushed to the capital city.

Notify the aristocratic families behind the scenes that the King of Han is taking action and stop encroaching on the power of the court and the Zhan family.
