I can sign in in Datang

Chapter 786
And Yuan Taizuo is now Goguryeo's new Mo Lizhi, who has more than half of Goguryeo's soldiers and horses in his hands.

These soldiers and horses only recognize the Yuan family, and the King of Goguryeo can't command them at all.

It stands to reason that two generations controlled more than half of a country's military strength, and became Mo Lizhi, obviously wanting to rebel.

Even if the Yuan family does not rebel, none of the superiors can tolerate the existence of such subordinates.

However, the Yuan family just did not rebel. Not only that, when the Sui Dynasty launched troops against Goguryeo, Yuan Taizuo not only had no reservations, but also went to the battlefield in person to resist foreign enemies, so that he left behind a hidden illness.

This point has always been something that Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't figure out. If the Yuan family rebelled earlier, the Yuan family would be the royal family of Goguryeo now, and he would also be the future king of Goguryeo.

Yuan Taizuo took a deep breath and said: "Before, the Great Sui was eyeing us, and after the Sui Dynasty was destroyed, there was the Great Tang. Although our Yuan family is stronger than the royal family, it is not much. Once we fight with the royal family, The country is in danger of being destroyed, and the royal family knows this, so we have been able to live in peace for so many years."

Yuan Gai Suwen said disapprovingly: "The royal family is no match for my Yuan family at all."

"I don't want to hear these words again." Yuan Taizuo said coldly.

Yuan Gai Suwen thought of the problem too simply.

The royal family has been passed down for so many years, and it is still very prestigious in Goguryeo. Even if the royal family is destroyed, it will fall into civil strife for a long time.

Once the strength is consumed too much, what can be used to deal with foreign enemies?
If Yuan Gai Suwen was not the most capable of all his sons, Yuan Taizuo would even want to change his heir.

He was very worried that the Yuan family would perish under the leadership of Yuan Gai Suwen.

"Father, I know I was wrong." Yuan Gai Suwen said with his head down.

No one saw the killing intent in Yuan Gai Suwen's eyes.

Leaving Yuan Taizuo's study, Yuan Gai Suwen returned to the courtyard where he lived.

It is said to be a courtyard, but it actually occupies a very large area, which can be regarded as Fuchu Mansion.

The Yuan family was extremely powerful in Goguryeo, and its mansion was only slightly smaller than the palace in the entire Wandu City.

"Go and find Cui Xu." Yuan Gai Su Wen ordered.

The Cui Xu that Yuan Gai Suwen mentioned was exactly the Cui Xu who arranged for someone to assassinate Lin Xuan on the way back home to worship his ancestors.

The Cui family already had business in Goguryeo, and had contacts with many local nobles in Goguryeo. Cui Xu's life was not difficult after he came to Goguryeo.

As the royal city, Wandu City is naturally the most prosperous city in Goguryeo, but even some of the larger counties in the Tang Dynasty are much more prosperous than the capital city of Goguryeo, let alone Chang'an.

Cui Xu knew that he might never be able to return to Datang in this life, so he was a bit of a broken can, and he lingered in the place of fireworks every day.

Once by chance, Cui Xu met Yuan Gai Suwen. Yuan Gai Suwen knew that Cui Xu was a member of the Cui family of the Tang Dynasty, and immediately invited him as a guest of honor.

With Yuangai Suwen's help, the Cui family's business in Koguryo grew bigger and bigger, and the profit they earned was several times that of before.

After the Cui family learned about it, they encouraged Cui Xu and said they would find a way to let him go back.

Cui Xu was ecstatic when he learned about it, and contacted Yuan Gai Suwen more frequently.

Naturally, Yuan Gai Suwen would not refuse, he originally befriended Cui Xu to learn all kinds of information about Datang from him, but he did not expect to help the Cui family, but let him gain a lot of benefits.

Although the Yuan family is not short of money, Yuan Gai Suwen has not yet taken power, so there is not much wealth that can be withdrawn.

The two had their own ghosts and common interests, so they almost didn't become brothers.

Half an hour later, Cui Xu was ushered in.

"Brother Yuan, you called me so late, what's the matter? If it's okay, I'll go to the Wanchun Building with my brother. I heard that some Silla beauties came today." Cui Xu laughed.

Yuan Gai Suwen said with a serious expression: "I'm looking for Brother Cui because I want to ask you something important."

Cui Xu was a little puzzled, and asked, "What does brother Yuan want to ask?"

"The Tang Dynasty launched troops against the grasslands, do you know if the Tang Dynasty has plans to launch troops against Goguryeo?" Yuan Gai Suwen asked.

"Brother Yuan, how do I know this." Cui Xu shook his head and said.

He has been in Goguryeo for nearly a year, and he has heard a little about the Tang Dynasty from those caravan people who came from Chang'an, but those people don't know any important affairs in the court.

Even if he is in Datang, he is unlikely to know about these things.

"You guys, the Cui family is the largest family in the Tang Dynasty. It should not be difficult to know this news. If you can help me find out this news, I can give you [-]% of the profit of the Cui family's business in Goguryeo." Yuan Gai Suwen said.

"Twenty percent?"

Cui Xu was a little moved. Yuangai Suwen accounted for [-]% of the Cui family's business in Goguryeo. [-]% may not seem like much, but when converted into money, it is a huge fortune.

You must know that what the Cui family transported to Goguryeo were all scarce materials in Goguryeo, and the price was naturally expensive.

Goguryeo has a population of several million, accounting for two-tenths of the current Datang population, and there are two neighboring countries, Baekje and Silla, so the market is huge.

"Okay, I'll send a letter to the family and let them investigate."

For betraying Datang, Cui Xu did not have the slightest burden.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty failed to conquer Goguryeo, and part of the credit was also due to the aristocratic family.

"Then thank you brother Cui."

Yuan Gai Suwen wanted to know if Datang had any plans to attack Goguryeo. If so, he could persuade Yuan Taizuo to send troops to help Western Turks.

On the one hand, it is worried that Datang will destroy the Western Turks and their strength will increase greatly.

On the other hand, the existence of the Western Turks is also a threat to Datang, which can restrain many soldiers of Datang, and the pressure will be much less if he attacks Datang.

Tibet
Since being forced by the Tang Dynasty to retreat and return to Tubo last time, Songtsan Gampo moved the capital to Luoxie with iron and blood.

Luoxie is protected by Nyainqentanglha Mountain in the north, Niangbo, Gongbu and other places in the east, Yangtong in the west, and Yalong River Valley in the south, with a moderate location.Moving the capital logically is more conducive to defending Supi in the north and Yangtong in the west.

Many tribes living close to the mountains also moved to the plains one after another, and more people engaged in farming, and the nomadic pastoralism in the past has also changed to sedentary herding.

The leaders of those tribes were naturally unwilling, but after the suppression, in just a few months, not only the transfer of the capital was completed, but also Praise Gampo's rule over Tubo reached its peak.

Songtsan Gampo is going to spend a few years to strengthen the strength of Tubo, and at the same time get rid of Su Pi and Yang Tong.

Then send troops to annex Tuyuhun.

However, at this time, there was news that the Tang Dynasty sent troops to the grassland and broke the grassland.

"Great Minister, is Datang trying to annex the small neighboring countries?" Songtsan Gampo asked.

Lu Dongzan pondered for a while, and said: "Master, the war between the Central Plains and the grasslands has been going on for a long time, but they have never occupied the grasslands, because the people in the Central Plains are mainly farming, and the grasslands are not suitable for farming. The Tang people can't occupy them at all. I guess Datang probably wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in Western Turks to weaken the strength of Western Turks."

Songtsan Gampo nodded and said, "Then can we send troops to put some pressure on Datang?"

He has no intention of sending troops to fight Datang, but wants to station troops on the border, put some pressure on Datang, and contain some of Datang's troops.
