The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

More and more people began to recognize their big pair Lou.

One after another began to rush forward, ready to rescue their big opponent Lu Lai.

but.

How could Zhong Wen let them save Yuan Gai Su Wen?

What Zhong Wen wants is to make these Goguryeo people feel ashamed and inspire their fighting spirit.

At that time, as long as the people of Goguryeo take some extreme actions against the people of Tang, Tang will have an excuse to launch a counterattack against Goguryeo.

This will also enable Zhong Wen to designate an area as a battlefield for the two countries to fight.

And as more and more people rushed to the announcement.

The soldiers of Goguryeo and the guards of the royal city also began to embrace them.

chaos.

Just one word is messed up.

The common people threw stones at stones, vegetable leaves at vegetables, and eggs at eggs.

They all threw at Zhong Wen one after another.

But Zhong Wen's whole body was always protected by a layer of inner energy that no one could see.

Don't say that stones can't hit him.

Even if it is a master, it is estimated that he will not be able to get close to him.

On the main street of Pyongyang City.

More and more people rushed over.

From thousands of people at the beginning, to thousands of people later.

up to now.

It's over ten thousand.

There were even an unknown number of soldiers, holding weapons and galloping over on horseback.

It surrounded Zhong Wen with three floors inside and three floors outside.

For such an earth-shattering event, Rongliu Wang Gao Jianwu, who was far away in the palace, had already received the news.

7Chapter 16 Chaos and Two Factions

Gao Jianwu.

King Rongliu of Goguryeo.

When he learned that his great opponent Lu Yuan Gaisu was led back to his country by a man from the Tang Dynasty.

But in my heart I was very happy.

in fact.

a few days ago.

When the Goguryeo mission came back, Gao Jianwu had already learned of Yuan Gaisu's situation in Tang.

these days.

Gao Jianwu has been rushing to eliminate the remaining party members belonging to Yuan Gaisu.

In a few days, Gao Jianwu had almost wiped out Yuan Gaisu's party remnants in the court.

Even Gao Jianwu controls one-third of the army.

Only Gao Jianwu has been unable to control the troops stationed on the border of the Tang Dynasty and the troops on the border between Baekje and Silla.

these armies.

It can be said that he is loyal to Lu Yuan Gaisu, or the Yuan family.

and.

The number of these troops is as high as nearly 40.

Come on.

The number of troops in Goguryeo.

There are nearly 60 horses.

With so many soldiers and horses, it can be said that most of them are controlled by the Yuan family.

This also made Gao Jianwu, the king of Goguryeo, terrified every time he thought of this.

now.

this period of time.

It can be said that Gao Jianwu was full of happiness, and he had been thinking of ways to control all the soldiers and horses in Goguryeo, and even eliminated most of the Yuan family's ruling people.

Just when Gao Jianwu heard about Yuan Gaisu, all the ministers rushed to the palace suddenly.

"Your Majesty, I just saw Mo Lizhi being led down the street by a Daoist from the Tang Dynasty, and looked at Mo Lizhi as if he was being detained by the Tang Dynasty people. Your Majesty, this is our chance. "A Goguryeo official reported to Gao Jianwu.

Mo Lizhi.

This is an official position unique to Goguryeo.

It can be said that Mo Lizhi's official position is equivalent to that of a prime minister, but his authority far exceeds that of a prime minister.

It is not far from being used to describe the regent.

It's just that the Moli branch official of the Goguryeo Kingdom has never been recognized by the Sui Kingdom of the previous dynasty, even the current Tang Kingdom does not agree.

all the time.

Be it Sui or Tang.

They all ignored Mo Lizhi's official position.

Just like Yuan Gaisu, in Koguryo Kingdom, he always played as Mo Lizhi.

But in the Tang country, he could only appear as the big opponent Lu.

After all, Tang Guo has never recognized Mo Lizhi's identity.

And big brother.

In the court of Goguryeo, its position is not low.

Many of the official positions in the Goguryeo Kingdom basically originated from China.

of course.

Also increased slightly.

It's like official titles such as Big Brother, Big Brother, Little Brother, Wu Zhuo, and Immortal.

Although there are some additions or modifications to these official positions in Goguryeo.

But whether it is revised or added every time, the Tang Kingdom, which belongs to the suzerain state, does not recognize it at all, and only recognizes the original official position.

The current national power of Goguryeo is not weak. For this reason, many official positions have been added, and the names of many official positions have been modified.

But no matter how the king of Goguryeo was like this, Gao Jianwu did not dare to proclaim himself emperor.

Why?

Because Goguryeo has been knighted by China since its founding.

From the very beginning, he was only a herdsman.

Later, he became a Marquis, Duke of the county and so on.

It wasn't until the later period that he began to seal the first king.

to this end.

No one in Goguryeo dared to proclaim himself emperor.

Because they know.

As long as the king of Goguryeo proclaims himself emperor, he will inevitably be attacked by the suzerain state.

Who is the biggest in the world?

Of course, the suzerain is the largest.

at this time.

Not to mention a foreign country like Goguryeo, even during the civil strife in China, the kings did not dare to proclaim themselves emperor at will.

After all, this is not something you dare to say casually.

First, you are unorthodox.

Second, in name only.

Thirdly, whoever dares to claim the title of emperor will be beaten.

Wait, wait, there are many reasons that limit the factors of being emperor.

Why did the previous dynasty want to conquer Goguryeo three times?

To put it bluntly, this Goguryeo country is originally a country with evil intentions.

During the Cao Wei period, due to civil strife in the Central Plains, Goguryeo took the opportunity to develop.

And at that time, he joined forces with Wei to attack Liaodong.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Central Plains was divided by heroes again. At that time, the Goguryeo Kingdom, under the control of King Haotai, could be said to have reached its peak.

When the Sui Kingdom came together, Yang Guang came to power.

Naturally, it is impossible to let such an ambitious country sit and lie aside.

This is one of the reasons why Yang Guang wanted to conquer Goguryeo three more times.

As for other reasons.

It is also because of Goguryeo's obedience to the suzerain state.

This also prompted Yang Guang to destroy Goguryeo.

Unfortunately.

Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo three times, but failed.

In the end, Yang Guang lost his life and lost his country.

now.

"Your Majesty, we have arrested quite a few members of the Yuan family, but we haven't found a single heir of the Yuan family. Did the Yuan family have already guessed the situation today and put all the heirs of the Yuan family under the same law?" Arranged into the army? If so, what should we do?" Another Goguryeo official expressed his worries to Gao Jianwu suspiciously.

Indeed.

None of the heirs of the Yuan family disappeared, only the grown men remained in the capital city.

some time ago.

When Yuan Gaisu's situation in the Tang Dynasty was reported back by the people in the mission, Gao Jianwu could be said to be bold, and directly sent people to guide most of the Yuan family to be arrested.

Even Yuan Jingtu, the younger brother who replaced Yuan Gaisu in power, was arrested.

Who is Yuan Pure Land?

He is the younger brother of Yuan Gaisu, and also the son-in-law of Gao Baozang, another prince of Goguryeo, the treasure king.

And this treasure king Gao Baozang.

That is, the last subjugated king of Goguryeo.

recorded in history.

Gao Baozang joined forces with Yuan Gaisu to kill his elder brother Rongliu Wang Gao Jianwu.

But after the death of Yuan Gaisu.

In particular, the official position of Mo Lizhi was succeeded by Yuan Gaisu's eldest son, Yuannan, but his two younger brothers were unwilling.
